Chapter 8 - Nostalgia - Old Memories

Hearing this, Abhimanyu sat up again and stood in front of Pakhi. Both of them were looking at each other as if they were boyfriend and girlfriend and were fighting over something. All the prisoners were also looking as if a boy from their house was talking to his daughter-in-law. As soon as Pakhi raised her hand to push Abhimanyu, Abhimanyu moved forward to hold her hand. But his foot slipped and he fell holding Pakhi's hand.

Now Abhimanyu was below and Pakhi was above him. Both of them were just feeling each other's hot breath. Not only this, the rest of the prisoners were looking as if a couple was celebrating their Suhagrat in front of them and the constable was standing as if in shock.

By now Inspector Kiran had arrived at the police station and before he could ask the staff anything about Abhimanyu, Jagjit arrived. Everyone saluted Jagjit. Kiran understood that if the Chief had come so early in the morning, there must have been something big behind it.

Kiran asked - "You so early in the morning Sir! Anything special?"

"Yes, here is the letter of that businessman withdrawing his complaint and now tell me where is Abhimanyu?" - Jagjit asked, extending the letter towards Kiran.

"Yes, he has been put in the lockup with the most dangerous prisoners." - Kiran said hesitantly.

On hearing this, Jagjit's anger increased because for such a small matter, someone cannot be kept with dangerous prisoners. That is why Jagjit spoke angrily.

"You people locked Abhimanyu with dangerous prisoners on a small complaint? Who did all this and why?"

"Sir, actually he kissed our SHO Pakhi Vittal in the interrogation center, due to which Inspector Yaman locked him there." - Kiran told.

"Did you kiss?" - Jagjit asked in surprise.

Kiran said - "Yes sir."

Jagjit thought and asked - "So where are Pakhi and Shikhar now, Inspector Kiran?"

"Sir, I just came back so…" - Kiran looked at the constable.

The constable said - "Sir, they have gone to meet that boy in the same lockup."

Hearing this, both Inspector Kiran and Jagjit went down and when they reached there, they saw that Pakhi was lying on top of Abhimanyu and everyone was standing there watching. As soon as Shikhar's eyes fell on the inspector and Jagjit, he coughed loudly, hearing which all the prisoners got scared.

Pakhi also quickly got up, regaining her balance. Abhimanyu also stood up, brushing off the dust. Jagjit immediately went inside and hugged Abhimanyu. Abhimanyu could not recognize Jagjit, so he was just feeling his touch, which made him realize that this man was definitely someone close to him. Then Jagjit spoke.

"You fool! You have been in Indore for so many days and you did not even think once about meeting your childhood friend Jagjit! See, thanks to your kindness, today I have become the security bureau chief here."

As soon as Abhimanyu heard this, he hugged Jagjit again and said.

"Oh my! I told you not to leave your studies, one day you will definitely become a big man."

"Okay, okay, rest of the things later. First you go out of here. Rajesh has taken back the complaint and now we will sit outside in some club or restaurant and talk, okay. And then I have to meet uncle too. He is very worried about you." - Jagjit said to Abhimanyu.

Jagjit and Abhimanyu both came out and the police staff could do nothing but watch. Before leaving, Jagjit also scolded Yemen well. Jagjit took Abhimanyu to the cart where they both used to eat Chinese food in their childhood. Abhimanyu asked Jagjit

"How did you come to know that I am in jail?"

"Your father called me. He informed me. But friend, you came to Indore and why didn't you call me? You were in so much trouble and you didn't think it necessary to tell me?" - Jagjit asked.

"Oh nothing friend, I thought it was a small matter and I will handle it myself. But things got worse. By the way Jaggu, tell me one thing, what happened here?" - Abhimanyu asked.

Jagjit started telling, "What should I tell you Abhi, when your father sent you from here, everything went wrong because the police staff and politicians all started following the orders and money of Taneja and Jackson. By the time I became the chief of the security bureau, your father's glory was over. Even today, many leaders, MLAs and police administration work for Taneja. I cannot touch him alone even if I want to. But to tell you the truth, even though your father was doing illegal work, he is not a traitor or a bad person. But these people are traitors too and do not think about anyone before doing wrong."

Abhimanyu said, "Jaggu, my elder brother Arjun is in their custody and I have to save him at any cost and also tell this city that now the power is going to change, so for this it is important that I stay one step ahead of Taneja."

Jagjit said. "Abhi, whatever help you need from me, I will do it. Anyway, I will work for the country by killing and catching these goons. But yes, remember that you will also be considered a criminal and a goon in the eyes of the law." -

Abhimanyu said.

"Don't worry about that. Just do one thing, get all the calls of Taneja tracked so that I can know what the scene is." Jagjit said remembering the old days.

"Whatever you say my friend Abhi, let's eat chowmein now. It has been a long time since we sat together." -

Both started eating chowmein. Abhimanyu asked

"By the way friend, did you get married or not, yes Jaggu?"

"Yes, I did. Your Bhabhi Sulekha runs an NGO and last year I married a girl named Sulekha.

You have just become an uncle." Jagjit said cheerfully.

Abhimanyu shouted happily, "Oh my god, this is great. You have done a great job."

"Abhi, do one thing. Why don't you come home tomorrow or day after? Sulekha will also be very happy to meet you." Jagjit said.

"I will definitely come friend." Abhimanyu said.

Then Jagjit asked, "By the way Abhi, are you married or have a girlfriend?"

Abhimanyu said smiling.

"Not yet brother. Now if we find someone like Bhabhi, we will do it. Till then flirting and romance will do."

Hearing this, Jagjit laughed and then both of them finished their food and left for the hospital. As soon as they reached the hospital, Akshita was standing restlessly outside the hospital as if she was very worried about Abhimanyu and when she saw Abhimanyu getting down from a car with a blue light, she immediately ran and hugged Abhimanyu and the next moment she stood up while controlling herself. Seeing this, Jagjit first looked at Abhimanyu and then laughed.

"Are you okay Abhimanyu?" - Akshita asked.

Seeing Akshita, Jagjit said in Abhimanyu's ear - "I like Bhabhi, brother, you should get married."

Abhimanyu said - "Shut up Jaggu."

Hearing this, Jagjit started laughing again.

Akshita asked again "You didn't tell me Abhimanyu. Are you okay?"

Abhimanyu said to Akshita - "Yes, I am absolutely fine. Since when have you been standing here? And is daddy okay?"

"Yes, he is fine and I had just come to get juice for Uncle. Then I saw you and I stopped.." - Akshita said.

"Okay, let's go to Daddy." Abhimanyu said.

Everyone reached Manoj ji.

As soon as Manoj ji saw Abhimanyu, he tried to stand up but Abhimanyu held his hand and made him sit and said.

"You don't get up and I am fine. Don't worry."

Jagjit also came and sat near him and said.

"Uncle, I had told you that everything will be fine and anyway, when I reached there, this Bhai Sahib was getting his services done by the prisoners. And the police were so upset that even if I had not gone, they would have released him." Jagjit told Manoj ji.

Hearing this, Manoj ji started thinking in his mind.

"It means my son will now bring back my lost glory, will bring back my lost respect. He will not only take revenge from my enemies but will also bring back his elder brother Arjun. Now I am completely sure that Abhimanyu is the only one who can do all this."

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?" Jagjit asked when he saw Manoj ji lost in his thoughts.

Manoj ji said, "Nothing son, I was just thinking that this child of mine should get married to someone and make me a grandfather soon."

On hearing this, Jagjit looked at Akshita and said - "By the way uncle, I have a girl in mind. If you tell me, I will talk to her."

It did not take Manoj ji long to understand and he immediately understood and said with a smile - "How will this happen… this mad man will have to win the heart of that girl first. But the thing is that after coming here, he has become busy with his work."

"Leave her responsibility to me, I will take care of it, uncle." Jagjit said to Manoj ji and then he said to Abhimanyu.

"By the way Abhimanyu, do you remember the school incident when a girl from the private school in front proposed you?"

Hearing this, Akshita immediately came to Jagjit and asked - "Some girl proposed him?"

"Yes Miss..." - Jagjit said looking at Akshita and stopped.

"Akshita." - Akshita told.

"Yes Akshita ji. A girl proposed him?" Jagjit said.

Akshita asked - "Then what happened?"

Hearing this, Jagjit looked at Abhimanyu with a devilish smile and Abhimanyu was also just smiling. Jagjit said.

"Hey, girls were crazy about Abhi. But one girl was absolutely crazy in love with Abhi. She used to bunk her school just to get a glimpse of Abhi and one day on the way to school she stopped us and proposed to Abhi. But our Sigma Male refused. Because at that time Bhai Saheb was obsessed with learning martial arts. I don't know how well he knows how to fight now." Hearing this Abhi said - "Ok Jaggu, tell me how did you meet Bhabhi?" Jagjit told. "Before becoming the chief of the security bureau, I got a chance to work with an NGO from the college which was of your Bhabhi Sulekha. I met her there. Then we fell in love, got married and now we have a child." - "So what have you named the child?" - Abhimanyu asked. "Abhimanyu." - Jagjit told. "Yes, tell me what name have you given?" - Abhimanyu asked again. Jagjit said - "I told you Abhimanyu." "You named your child Abhimanyu!" Abhimanyu asked in surprise. "Yes, why not. This good life is only because of you. And ever since you helped me, I had decided that I want a child like you. So I thought why not give my child your name." - Jagjit said emotionally.

Hearing this, Abhimanyu immediately hugged Jagjit. There were tears in both their eyes, seeing which Akshita also started thinking in her mind - "Really where does one find such friendship these days."

Jagjit said "bye" to everyone and left from there. Manoj ji said to Abhimanyu and Akshita.

"Children, I want to drink soup. Can you both bring soup for me?"

"Okay, dad." - Abhimanyu said.

Akshita and Abhimanyu both went to the canteen. Abhimanyu was looking at Akshita's hair which she was repeatedly putting behind her ears. Just then Abhi saw Akshita and Abhimanyu.
