Chapter 8

Terrace 03:00 hrs Morning, Continued:

Naveen ki baatein sun ke Raj ko kuch samjh nhi aa raha tha ki usko kya bolna aur samjhna chahiye, Itni saari baatein thi jo usse nhi pata thi ki uss din ke baad aakhir Naveen ke saath hua kya tha.

Ye baat to fact thi ki jo Naveen ka Red Box wala mission tha wo highly complicated aur classified tha.

Uske clues collect karne mai Raj ko bohot time laga tha, aur kuch clues to actual mai aise the jo usko khud ko nhi pata tha ki kaha se aaye the par uss time usne iske baare mai itna nhi socha tha.

Uss time uske liye sabse important tha apne dost ko insaaf (justice) dilana,jiske upar jo deshdrohi (traitor) ka jo ghatiya ilzaam (allegation) laga tha wo clear karna tha.

Even if it meant to sacrifice his life or keep his job at risk, he was ready to do anything for his friend for his only family. Raj thought.

Naveen ye sab jo tune mujhe bataya honestly speaking mujhe kuch samjh nhi aa raha hai mai kya bolu ya kaise react karu iss baare mai, Raj said.

Raj ko dekh kar Naveen uske dil ki baat samjh gaya tha, wo acche se janta tha ki abhi jo kuch bhi usne abhi usko bataya uska kya asar hua hoga uspe. Naveen thought.

Raj ye sab baad ki baat hai abhi mere liye itna kaafi hai ki tu shaant ho. Aur mujhe ye bata ki mere jaane ke baad kya kya hua tha. Naveen said.

Naveen ki baat sun kar Raj janta tha ki ab baat taalne (delay) karne ka koi option nhi hai aur wo Naveen ko sach batane wala tha. (Maybe not completely) Raj thought.

Raj- Uss din tere upar Gun rakh ke shoot karne ke baad mujhe kabhi nhi laga tha mai apne aap ko kabhi maaf nhi kar paunga.

 Mai jaanta hu tune mujhse kaha tha ki maine tujhe mukti(peace) dilayi hai par sach to yahi hai ki sab ki nazaroo mai aur khud ki nazroo mai, maine tera khoon kara tha.

Jab waha se wo lala ke aadmi wo terrorist ki dead body leke jaa rahe the jo mujhe laga teri thi meri himmat nhi hui thi use dekhne ki.

Kyunki mere liye to wo mere dost ki body thi jiss dost ko maine apne haatho se maara tha.

Tujhe pata hai kitni saari raatein maine bina neend ke nikali hai ye soch kar ki apne dost ki maut ka karan mai bana tha. 

Aur iske liye mujhe psychologist aur psychiatrist ke consultation ki zaroorat thi aur mai kuch time ke liye. Because not only I was blaming myself for your death but somehow I also developed depression during that period of time.

Ye sun ke Naveen shock ho gaya tha par usne kuch bola nhi aur Raj ko bolne diya.

Mai hamesha yahi sochta rehta tha ki shayad kisi tarah koi na koi raasta hota waha ki mai tujhe kisi bhi tarah baccha sakta par mai nhi baccha paya tujhe.

Ye sab hone ke baad mujhe kuch time ke liye Afghanistan ek top secret mission pe bhej diya gaya tha jisse kuch time ke liye mere dimaag se ye baat bahar aa gayi thi ki maine tera khoon kiya kiya hai aur mera sara focus sirf aur sirf mission pe tha.

Jab mai apne mission se wapas Delhi aaya tha tab Delhi Headquater's mai meri mulakat Colonel Shakti Chandra aur General Aggrawal ke saath hui thi.

Mujhe halka sa clue to tha tere mission ko leke par mujhe kuch nhi pata tha ki wo mission kya hai aur kitna deep hai.

Ye baat mujhe General Aggrawal ke saath milne ke baad pata chali thi ki ye mission kitna dangerous aur intense tha aur tu kitna close aa chuka tha apne mission ke.
