8 'o' clock in night—
Abhijeet was working on his laptop in his room. His laptop placing in between his legs and his full concentration was on the different files which were spreading in front of him. The truth was he was working at really high pace because he knew that if Daya will come back from bureau he will never let him work in peace and will demand food after every minute. There was no case reported in the bureau so Abhijeet came back early to complete the pending stuff while Daya remained there to tease Freddy.
Abhijeet(to himself)- ufff laptop bhi hang. Aur ab agar Daya aa gaya to toofan aa jaye ga…
He then started arranging the files according to the dates and waited for his laptop to become alive once again. The moment the tiny courser moved on the screen he heard movement in the key hole of the main door. He took a big sigh as he knew the outcome.
Abhijeet: Lo bhai aa gaya…. Ab kya khaak kaam hoga.
He heard Daya opening the fridge and at once the door of his room opened.
Daya(fastly): Abhi tm ne khana nahi banaya abhi tk?
Abhijeet looked at him and sensed that his motoo dost is hungry as hell.
Abhijeet: Aaj mene socha hm dono saath saath khana banayenge. Kyu sahi h?
Daya(shocked): Kya? Nahi tm mujhe abhi accha sa khana bana kr do. Me kuch nahi janta.
Abhijeet(irritated): Kya h Daya me koi tmhara kaam wala nahi hun. Jao aur ja kr Maggie bana lo.
Daya(rashly): Ye kaho ke tm ne bahar kahana kha liya h.
Abhijeet: Daya pagal h kya… dekh nahi raha me kaam kr raha hun. Bekaar me mera time mt waste karo.
Daya: Accha.. ab meri presence tmhara time waste karne lagi h.. (he rolled his lips)
Abhijeet(sighing): Ab ladkiyon jesi baaten mt kr samjha. Accha tm wait karo pandra(15) minute me kaam poora kr ke ata hun phir bana dunga khana .
Daya(turning): Nahi me khud Maggie bana leta hun.
He went outside the room.
Abhijeet(loudly): Dayyaaaa… ruko… idhar aao.
Daya half heartdly entered.
Daya: Kya h?
Abhijeet(softly): Me bana dunga na thodi der me tmhari tabiyat bhi theek nahi h na. Tm fresh ho ja kr me banata hun thodi der me.
Daya(roughly): Nahi me khud bana lunga.
Abhijeet: Abey kyu shamat aai h.. Ja raha h room me ya lagaun do haath?
Daya silently went towards his room to change.
Abhijeet took a big sigh and again started doing his work. He totally forgot that Daya was feeling unwell since morning and after seeing his tired face he realized and regretted why he didn't keep the meal ready. He in a great rush completed his work within ten minutes and closed his laptop and cleaned his bed. Then he came out and knocked on Daya's door and silently entered inside, saw Daya lying on his bed. He tried to sit after seeing him but Abhijeet restrained him by his hand.
Abhijeet: Lete raho… he went close to him and placed his hand of his forhead…. Sir me dard ho raha h?
Daya(nodding): Haan thoda sa h bs.
Abhijeet: Accha tm araam karo me bahar se khana le kr aa raha hun.
Daya: Nahi yaar ab kaha jaoge tm esa karo Maggie hi bana do.
Abhijeet: Chup chaap pada reh. Zada hi orders dene aa gaye hen. Aur tu kb se mere araam ka itna khayal rakhne laga haan?
Daya(laughing): wo mene tmhe sapne me bolte hue suna tha ke Daya bht kaam leta h mujh se.. to rehem aa gaya tm pr.
Abhijeet lightly punched on his arm and went out with a smile on his face. He took Daya's motorbike and came back within half an hour. He placed all the stuff on the table and knocked on Daya's door before entering.
Abhijeet: Daya, so gaya kya?
Daya(looking at him): Nahi to.
Abhijeet: Hmm chalo aa jao khana khane.
Daya(making faces): Yahi pr le aao na please.
Abhijeet: Areee… chal uth foran… yaha nahi aayega khana.
Daya: Phir me nahi kha raha.
Abhijeet: Abey uth ja Daya ke bacche.
Daya(shocked): Kahan h Daya ka baccha?
Abhijeet went out in irritation and heard Daya laughing loudly from his room.
After few minutes Daya came out still laughing and his volume increased after seeing Abhijeet's face. He came close to him.
Daya: Kya hua Abhijeet sir aap bura maan gaye.
Abhijeet looked at his face and he too started laughing. They did their dinner and after that Daya went inside his room and came back with two pills in his hand. He took glass in his hand but before he could put those pills into his mouth Abhijeet hold his hand.
Abhijeet: Kis cheez ki goliyan hen ye?
Daya(rashly): Zeher ki…!
Abhijeet looked sternly on his face.
Daya(irritated): Arey yaar paracetamole h.
Abhijeet: Do do..?
Daya nodded. Abhijeet took both the pills from his hand and looked sternly on his face.
Daya: Boss de do na please. Sir dard ho raha h.
Abhijeet(strictly): Hr giz nahi. Daya mamooli sir dard h so jaoge to theek ho jayega.
Daya: Neend bhi nahi aati na sir dard me.
Abhijeet: Aur mobile aur laptop dekh raat raat bhr phir hr doosre din kaha kr mere sir me dard ho raha h.
Daya(seriously): Kahan… mene kitne dino se laptop chua(touch) bhi nahi h. Aur roz time pr sota hun. Aur kitne dino baad to sir dard hua h. De do goli…mujhe sona h na.
Abhijeet(strictly): Daya tu cheekh ya chilla pr ye goli tujhe nahi milegi. Aur ummeed karta hun tm mere faisle ki respect karoge aur raat ko nahi khaoge.
Daya silently stood up from his chair.
Abhijeet(softly): Hr waqt goli khana kya acchi baat h Daya? Tm chocolate aur toffee ki tarha khate ho tablets. Chalo ja kr leto apne room me aur kuch mt socho neend aa jayegi thodi der me.
Daya nodded slightly and went inside his room.
Abhijeet(loudly, after remembering something): Arey Dayaaaa…
Daya popped out his head from his room.
Abhijeet: Coffee ya Tea pioge?
Daya(naughty): Arey haan after dinner ritual to bhool hi gaya. Ab tm mere room me hi le aao.
Abhijeet laughed and nodded.
He made two cups of tea and went inside Daya's room who was lying on his bed while his pillow was on his face. He raised the pillow and smiled at Abhijeet.
Abhijeet: Leeje sarkaar aap ki chaye bn gai.
Daya laughed while sitting on his bed. Abhijeet turned to go outside.
Daya(quickly): Arey ab tm kyu bahar ja rahe ho.. Yahi pr aao na chaye le kr.
Abhijeet came back with his cup of tea and they both talked on different topics till twelve at night. Daya was looking restless so Abhijeet asked him to lie down.
Abhijeet: Daya tm lait jao me yahi hun abhi.
He knew that Daya didn't want him to go back to his room so he decided to make Daya sleep.
Daya lied down on his bed and keep on talking after half an hour he went into a dreamless sleep.
Abhijeet looked at him and covered him with a light blanket, took both the cups from the side table and switched off the lights and softly came out from his room.
Next morning—
Abhijeet woke up at six in the morning and after freshening up he checked Daya, found him sleeping so went close to him and shacked him but get shocked. He felt as if he placed his hand on a burning iron.
Abhijeet(to himself): Ise to bht tez bukhar ho raha h. Dawai bhi nahi khane di thi raat me.
Abhijeet made Daya wake up whose eyes were red due to high fever.
Abhijeet(softly): Daya jao brush kr ke aa jao.
Daya just nodded and closed his eyes again. Abhijeet patted on his cheek and removed the blanket.
Abhijeet: Daya chalo jaldi se utho phir aa kr so jana. Chalo…
He holds Daya's warm hand and pulled him.
Daya(his voice no more than a whisper): Do minute baad na. Abhi nahi…
Abhijeet: Abey do minute baad tu leta hua hoga phir se… abhi bs brush kr lo phir aa kr let jao.
He made him go inside washroom and made his way towards kitchen.
He did his breakfast by eating some crackers and drinking one glass of milk. While he took a lukewarm glass of milk for Daya.
Abhijeet(loudly): Arey kya washroom me so gaya. He banged on the door. After two more minutes Daya came out taking support of the nearby wall. Abhijeet rushed towards him.
Abhijeet(out of concern): Kya hua hain?
Daya(weakly): am getting a bit dizzy.
Abhijeet hold his arm tightly and made him sit on his bed. After that he called ACP telling the condition of Daya and asking for some time to be with him.
ACP: Theek h Abhijeet tm khayal rakkho us ka aur aajao jb us ki condition theek ho jaye.
Abhijeet nodded and then telephoned the doctor and told the condition of Daya. In between of that Daya added.
Daya: I puked as well.
Abhijeet(shocked): Kya? Bataya nahi gaya tujh se pehle.
Daya slightly smiled on that. The doctor assured Abhijeet that Viral's a hit around the city and not to worry about this sickness. He also said to put wet cloth on the patient's forehead and to give him mild food to eat. After cutting the call Abhijeet looked on Daya's face which was red. He stood up and Daya clutched his hand.
Daya(whispering): Abhi aaj bureau mt jao na.
Abhijeet(softly taking out his hand from Daya's grip): Haan abhi nahi ja raha.. bs kitchen tk ja raha hun.
He came back with a bowl of chilled water and a towel. He slowly with extreme care placed the wet towel on Daya's forehead. Daya opened his eyes and looked on his friend's face that was looking in extreme tension.
Abhijeet: Daya yaar tm leto me paanch minute me prescribed tablets le kr ata hun. Theek h?
Daya nodded: Jaldi aana yaar.
Abhijeet came back after five minutes and found Daya in the same position but he was not sleeping.
Abhijeet(changing the towel): Tmhe neend nahi aa rahi?
Daya: nahi abhi nahi aa rahi.
Abhijeet: Accha chalo ye milk lo aur ye tablets fata fut….
Daya(naughty): Aur ab main kahun ke mujhe tablet nahi khani to..
Abhijeet(straightly):To baba tmhare gaal pr apna aashirwaad de denge.
Daya laughed and with the help of Abhijeet sat on the bed. Drank milk in one go….
Abhijeet: Sukoon se Daya… wo kahin bhaga nahi ja raha… handing him the tablets. Ye lo. He took them too…
After some minutes he went into the dream land. And Abhijeet silently went outside after placing a sticky note on Daya's side table that he's going to the bureau.
Abhijeet reached bureau at one in the afternoon.
Abhijeet(smiling): Good afternoon sir.
ACP(nodding): Good afternoon Abhijeet…. Daya kesa h ab?
Abhijeet: Sir subha se kaafi behtar h us ki condition ab.. wo so gaya to me idhar aa gaya.
ACP: Arey to aaj chutti kr lete aane ki kya zaroorat thi? Wese bhi koi case nahi report hua h abhi tk.
Abhijeet: Sir mera farz to dono jagah h na… smiling… to waha bhi raha ab yaha bhi rahunga.
ACP smiled and went inside his cabin while Abhijeet get busy in some other work. He was quite worried about Daya and was continuously thinking about him. As the hour of getting back to home was getting closer he too was getting impatient. He didn't want to call Daya as he knew that he must be sleeping otherwise he would have called him as he mentioned this on the sticky note. But the odds were not on his favor. They received a call at five 'o' clock. ACP noticed the irritated face of Abhijeet but ignored it.
ACP: Abhijeet jao aur check kr aao kya masla h.
Abhijeet nodded and took Vivek, Freddy and Vineet with him. They reached at the mentioned location.
Abhijeet: Yaha se aap logo ne hame bulaya tha?
Man: jee haan sir hm ne hi bulaya tha.
Abhijeet: Hmm to kya mamla h bhai.
Man looked at her crying wife and said: Sir wo… hm logo ka beta…. Sir kuch log use kidnap kr ke le gaye hen.
Abhijeet(looking around the house): Aapko exactly kese pata ke wo log use kidnap kr ke hi le gaye hen?
Man: ye dekhiye sir ye parcha hame mila jb hm log ghr wapus aaye tb.
He said while handing him the paper.
Abhijeet looked at the paper and then in the eyes of the man.
Abhijeet: aap log kaha gaye the?
Man: Hm log sir shopping karne gaye hue the.
Abhijeet: Aur aap ka beta?
Man: Sir use hm ghr pr hi chod kr gaye the.
Vivek: Kitne saal ka h aapka beta?
Women(crying): te…teen saal ka h…. Crying harder… haayyyee mera baccha… pata nahi use kuch khane ko bhi diya hoga ya nahi…. Ravi ye sab tmhari waja se hua h…
Abhijeet: teen saal ke bacche ko aap ghr pr akela chod kr chale gaye aur wo bhi kisi nanny ke bagher. Kya shopping aapke bacche se bhi zada important thi?
Suddenly his phone ringed and he looked at the caller ID.. he looked at Vivek and Freddy's face as if asking them to look further and went outside.
Vivek: Naam kya h uska?
Ravi: Gudda.
Freddy: Gudda gudiya nahi asli naam batao…. Ese to mera naam bhi laddoo h ghr ka..
Vivek and Vineet hardly control their laughter.
Women: Mahesh h uska naam.
Vivek: Kisi pr shaq h aapko?
Ravi: Shaq …. Nahi shaq to kisi pr nahi h..
Vineet: Aap jb ghar aaye to ye letter kaha mila aapko?
Women: yahi lock ke peeche.
Freddy: Ghar ki koi aur cheez chori hui h?
They shacked their heads in no.
Vivek: Kya kaam karte hen aap?
Ravi: Mera apna business h hm stainless steel ke products banate hen.
They all looked at each other's faces.
Outside—
Abhijeet noticed the name Daya blinking on the screen and excused himself and came outside.
Abhijeet: Haan Daya uth gaye.
He heard coughing sound from the other end and
Abhijeet(thininkg): Lo ji… sahab to ab lambe arse ke liye bistar pr pad gaye.
Daya(muffeled voice): Haan boss.. aur tm… mujhe chod kr kyu chale gaye?
Abhijeet: Arey yaar bureau jana bhi zaroori tha na. Accha ab tabiyat kesi h tmhari?
Daya: Tmhe parwah he meri…?
Abhijeet(sighing): mujhe lagta h tere dimagh me bhi bukhar chadh gaya h..
Daya laughing: kaafi behtar h pehle se.
Abhijeet: Hmm… tm kuch kha lo aur phir tablet le lo…
Daya: Tm aa kr do na..
Abhijeet: Abey hosh me h… Daya mujhe thodi der ho jayegi… case aa gaya h.. tm please dose miss mt karo.
Daya: Boss jaldi ana… mujhe na ajeeb sa feel…..
Abhijeet(caring manner): Daya… accha theek h me jaldi aaunga. Parshan mt hona tm…. Koi bhi baat ho to mujhe phone kr dena bina kisi jhijhak ke… theek h.
Daya: Theek h boss.. tata.
Abhijeet: chalo tata.. and laughed.
