Everyone soon surrounded him. Barkha decided to first make him calm and then they will figure out a way to initiate conversation especially about Karan. She was about to say something when, Param said....
P(in a weak voice) : Kaha hai voh nalayak? Chup ke baitha hai kya kahin pe? Usse bolo ki usne jo stunt try kiya tha na uske liye usko chodhne vala nahi hoon main.
At first everyone were confused about what Param is talking. So Barkha gently asked Param,
Ba: Aap kiske baare mein baat kar rahe hai?
P: (with slight anger and annoyance) Tumhare pujniya param priya devar ki baat kar raha hoon. Aur tum iss baar usse bachane ki koshish mat karna.
Everyone's eyes grew moist. They thought that Param doesn't know about Karan's demise. At first a selfish thought of hiding the truth crossed their mind but they knew well that the longer they will hide it the greater impact it will have. Also without meeting Karan he won't stay at peace and he wouldn't take a second to recognise Balli . So after taking a deep breath and sharing looks with Monami, Barkha took Param's hands in hers and looking deep into his eyes said in a soft loving tone....
Ba: Param main jaanti hoon yeh sach aapke liye accept karna easy nahi hai. Lekin yahi sach hai ki ab humara Karan humare saath, humare beech nahi hai. Aapka chotte, mera baccha, humara Karan, Special Agent Major Karan Shergill dushmano se ladte hue uss blast mein shaheed ho gaya. Aapko pata hai voh jagah itni buri tarah se tabah ho chuki thi blast ke baad ki hume Karan ki bo..body bhi nahi mili. Bas uska kuch samaan mila.
Then she narrated everything she got to know from Monami in detail to Param.
Param sighed deeply and said in a calm yet firm tone...
P: Yeh kya bekaar ki bakwas kar rahi ho. Kuch nahi hua hai usse. Are usse kuch ho hi nahi sakta hai.
Ba : Param! Param please shant ho jaiye. Dekhiye I know ki aapke liye yeh sach except karna mushkil hai lekin yahi sach hai. Uss blast mein Karan shaheed ho gaya hai.
P(taking Barkha's hands in his grip) : Dekho Barkha main bilkul bhi panic nahi kar raha hoon. Nahi mujhe koi sadma laga hai.
Barkha and others again shared worried looks. Batra sir went forward and decided to explain Param...
BS: Dekho Param beta, Karan...
P(rolling his eyes) : Dekhiye agar aap logon ko phir se Karan is no more vali baat karni hai toh please chup rahiye. Aur haan isse pehle aap sab apna bramha gyaan dena shuru karein, main bata doon ki mujhe koi sadma nahi laga hai.
Ba: Param aap samajh kyun nahi rahe Karan sach mein uss blast mein shaheed ho chuka hai. Aapko pata hai uss waqt vahan Sanju, Faizi, Ustaad ji, Monami sab the.
Sa: Haan sirji. Aag itto bhayankar tho ki hum, aur Faizi sirji chahte hue bhi andar naa jaa pao.
P: (cutting her sentence in between) Are voh Karan Shergill hai. Main janta hoon usse. Maine khud train kiya hai usse. He is not someone jo aise....Are voh sarhad pe seene pe gooli khake mar sakta hai lekin aise nahi... Usko aisi situations mein survive karna, apni will power use karke aisi situations se nikalna aata hai. Usne pehle bhi ek baar aisa kiya tha yaad hai? Apne second mission pe. Jiske liye usse uska pehla medal mila tha.
Param said the last part with a proud glint in his eyes.
BS: Param try to understand agar Karan zinda bach gaya hota toh kya voh humare paas nahi aata? Kya voh humse contact nahi karta? Pata hai Param Karan humare beech na hote hue bhi humare mission ki success ka karan bana.
Batra sir said in order to divert Param's attention, while Param who was till now listening to Batra Sir for the sake of respect he has for him, fixed his eyes on him. Seeing him taking interest, Batra Sir continued...
