The Wait
Part-1
It was a regular morning, where the ETF chief Sameer Rathore was having some talk with the commissioner on call in his cabin, the second chief Arjun Suryakant Rawte was working over some old case in his own cabin ;whereas others were busy in chit-chatting plus their paperwork together in the conference hall.
Ayesha, Sakshi were talking about a new mall in their city, with Chhotu enquiring about the food court of the mall from them, but the one person quiet among them was Shree ;who was doing his work silently all the time.
"Arey shree, tum itne Chup chap kyun ho.?"
Ayesha asked pausing her discussion with Sakshi.
"uh. Kuch nahi bas kaam thoda zyada hai issliye."
Shree replied looking up for a nano secs, then shifted his attention to the file again.
"kaam toh hum bhi kar rahe hain, per tumhari tarah aese upset hoke nahi.
Lagta hai Sameer aur Arjun ka asar hone laga hai tumpe."
Sakshi chuckled along with the other duo, but shree didn't buzz.
"Shree, kya hua hai? Tu Subah se Chup chap baitha hai, sab thik hai na.?"
Chhotu sounded a little worried.
"haan guys sab thik hai. Tum log bekar me tension le rahe ho."
Shree assured them calmly.
But they were far from believing him.
"dekho abhi bhi tensed lag rahe ho. Liza se phir jhagda hua.?"
Sakshi raised her brow.
"nahi. Liza toh Kal hi usse achhe se baat Kar rahi thi, aur.. *pause * ek min. Liza se yaad aya, shree tum Kal Liza ko movie ke liye leke jaane wale the na?
Vo aaj Subah bol rahi thi ki tumne last moment me plan cancel kardiya. Kyun.?"
Ayesha questioned, looking at him curiously.
" achha ye baat hai. Pakka iski wajah se Liza ko gussa aaya hoga aur Shree ka mood kharab hogaya.
Waise kaunsi movie thi.? "
Sakshi grinned.
" Vo hai na Sidharth Kapoor, uski nayi movie release hui hai. Liza ka toh vo favorite hero hai."
Ayesha replied, thus chhotu's smile suddenly disappeared over a small realization.
He passed a sad look to shree, who was already looking at him returning the look.
" ab tumhe kya hua.? "
Sakshi asked on noticing chhotu's changed facial expression.
" kuch nahi."
Chhotu mumbled in a low voice.
And both of the girls exchanged a confuse look at each other.
Before they could ask more, Rathore came walking to the conference hall.
"Are you done with the paperwork guys.?"
His forehead screeched a little, finding them all quiet, which wasn't normal.
He was well acquainted with their chit-chat sessions but he was ok with it, as long as they were doing their work perfectly on time.
But today was different.!
" kya hua? Koi problem hai.?"
"No. No sir paperwork almost hogaya hai, bas thoda hi baaki hai."
Shree spoke on everyone's behalf, hence Rathore didn't say anything further, eyeing each of them intently.
Just then a commotion outside of the hall grabbed their attention, thus all turned around only to find a lady of mid 65 entering in hurriedly, followed by the guards.
"dekhiye mam aap andar ni jaa sakti."
"nahi mujhe yahan ke chief se milna hai. Mile bina mai ni jaaungi."
The lady stood in front of Rathore.
The guard was about to pull the lady back, instead stopped when Rathore showed his palm, motioning him to stop.
"Kya aap ACP Sameer Rathore hain.?"
The lady asked, sobbing.
"ji. Lekin aapko kya chahiye.?"
"dekhiye aap meri madad Kijiye please. Mai bahut umeed leke aayi hun."
The lady cried out, joining both of her palms.

30min later...
All the ETF officers were sitting in the conference hall on their respective chairs, lost in deep thoughts.
" Anita Mathur ji, Jo bahar waiting room me baithi hain, 2 din pehle apne bete Dev Mathur ko ek hospital me uski heart me hui hole ki surgery ke liye admit kiya tha.
Treatment ke dauran uski maut hogayi thi, Jiska reason doctors ne excess blood loss bataya hai.
Per Anita ji ye nahi maanti, unke hisab se doctors ki galti ki wajah se unki bete ki maut hogayi.
Unhone ye bhi zikr kiya hai ki unke bete ki dead body ke hath me ek cut ka nishan tha, Jo surgery se pehle ni tha.
Ab Vo chahti hain ki hum unki help karein. "
Rathore explained in a go, then looked up.
" kya lagta hai team.? "
" ek laute bete ko Khone ke baad Anita ji kaafi depressed hogayi hain. Issliye sayad hospital ko blame kar rahi hain. "
Shree shook his head.
" iss Umar me bete ko Khone ke baad toh Koi bhi maa aese hi bolengi. Maine aese bahut cases pe report banaya hai, Jahan aksar family members doctors ko blame karte hain. "
Sakshi murmured.
" aur vo police ki baat bhi kar rahin thi. Police ne koi action ni liya matlab ho sakta hai unhe bhi ye Koi case na laga ho. "Ayesha shrugged.
" per vo toh kitni umeed leke hamare pass aayin hai. Agar hum bhi unhe yahi kahenge, toh unpe kya gujrega.? "
Chhotu looked at them expectantly.
" Rawte.?" Rathore now set his eyes on him, who was swirling a pen in between his fingers.
"mere khayal se Chhotu sahi keh raha hai.
Mana ki hame ye Koi case nahi lag raha hai aur hospitals me aese incidents hote rehte hain. Phir bhi Anita ji ke liye hame ek baar hospital me Puch lena chahiye. "
Arjun said turning his head to Rathore.
" i think that's right. Let's go. "
All came out of the conference hall and stood near the lady, who was seated on the couch, still sobbing.
Rathore motioned Ayesha to talk to her and she nodded bending down on her knees in front of the lady, wiping her tears with her palm.
" maaji aap please rona band Kijiye,hum hospital jaake pata karenge ki kya matter hai."
The old lady's face lit up a little, and she suddenly smiled hopefully.
"sach.?"
"ji. Aapke pass aapke bete ka koi photo hai.?"
Shree asked this time.
"haan. Mere pass hi hai."
She took a photograph out of her vanity bag and passed it to him.
"ek kaam Karo Shree tum aur Rawte jaake hospital me Puch tach Karo. Chhotu, Ayesha tum dono local police se baat Karo. Mai aur Sakshi inhe ghar chhod ke aate hain."
Rathore commanded in his usual strict voice.
"aapka beta kaunse hospital me tha.?"
Arjun questioned the lady, taking the boy's photo from Shree.
"ji Sanjeevani Hospital."
Came her reply that made four of the men's eyes snap upto her and their faces paled that instant.
Arjun was the first to blink and craned his neck to witness Rathore looking away with an unknown emotion overpowering his stern face, whereas Chhotu and shree's heads were hanging low hiding their moist eyes.
