AUTHOR'S NOTE: HAPPPPPYYYY DIWALIIII FRIENDS.. :) :D :D :)..

Thanks to all my friends for reading and reviewing my previous OS.. thanks a lot..

Guest: You wanna read a story where they are step brothers and their father is dcp chitroley.. hmmm very nice.. I would try dear..

Guest- My dear friend, I read your review in some of my Stories, where u wrote that u want to read story about mermaid.. i really don't have a clear idea about mermaid.. so, it will not be possible for me to write something on that.. but idea is very unique.. why don't you try yourself to complete that? go for it dear..

Coming to the story.. many fantastic writers had already written awesome stories on this concept.. still I'd request you to read this story.. here I want to tell something different in a different manner.. so, let's start with the story..

THE STORY:

He was busy in packing his luggage.. His hands, his brain and his heart were fighting a war.. he didn't know who would win.. but his brain had a greater chance..

"kyu na jau mai? bohot to ho gaya.. bohot seh liya maine.. ab kuch baki nehi hai.." he was speaking to himself in his mind.. "aakhir mai bhi ek insaan hu.. kab tak sehen karunga mai?"

Till now his brain was overpowering his heart.. but now his heart started doing its work..

"par pyar bhi to karta hai na mujhse.. karta hai na? " He nodded his head in no.. "nehi karta tha.. ab nehi karta.. yah sayed jis ko mai pyar samjhta tha, wo pyar tha hi nehi.. bas hamdardi aur ehsaan tha.. bas aur kuch nehi.. "

In between the war of heart and brain, his hands were just showing the result of current status of his mind.. sometime, his hands were working faster, sometime those stopped working..

He took a long breath and threw himself on the bed.. and closed his eyes..

"kabhi kabhi mujhe lagta hai Abhijeet tumhara yeh memory loss koi natak to nehi hai na.."

"Abhijeet akhir kab tak tum tumhara yeh yadasht khone ka excuse dete rahoge?"

The rude voice of his brother was literally scaring him..

"boss, tumhari is halat ke jimmedar to mai hi hu.."

"aap kabhi khud ko akela mat samjhna sir.. mai hoon na aapke sath.."

"kitni yaadein to hum aise bhi bhul jate hai Abhi.. samjh lo ki waise hi kuch yaadein tumhare zindegi se mit gayi hai.. usse kai guna behetar yaadein hum aab banayenge Abhi.. jo tumhe humesha yaad rahega "

"Abhi, koi bhi tumhe galat samjh sakta hai, par tumhara bhai Daya kabhi tumhe galat nehi samjhega.. wada raha"

A tear drop fell down from his eye corner.. "bhul gaya na tu aapna wada.. mujhse kia hua wada.. bhul gaya tu!"

"Ab khud ko defend karne ke liye aapna is memory loss ko hatiyar mat banana Abhijeet. and please don't create any emotional drama ok. I am ihandling this case, and I won't tolerate that "

He sat up straight with a jerk.. he was breathing heavily..

"ab kabhi tujhe mera emotional drama tolerate nehi karna parega Daya.. aab kabhi nehi.. yeh mera wada hai tujhse.. aur mai mera wada kabhi nehi todunga.."

Everyone in the Bureau were silent.. Only the supremo was speaking..

Acp sir(shouting): padh liya? padh liya tumne Daya aapne bhai ka resignation letter?

Daya was standing silent with the resignation letter of his brother on his hand.. reading it.. not reading it, just staring at it..

Acp sir: mil gayi sakoon? dekh lia aapne aankho se?

Daya didn't look at him neither he responded.. he was just kept staring on the letter..

Acp sir(in angry tone): kya kaha hai tumne usse Daya?

Still he was silent.. seeing him silent, Acp sir asked again.. this time in louder voice..

Acp sir: maine kuch pucha hai Daya tumse..

Hearing such loud voice Daya looked at him..

Daya: mm.. mujhse kuch kaha aapne sir?

Acp sir sighed..

Acp sir: maine pucha kya kaha hai tumne usse? mere absence mei aisa kya ho gaya jo Abhijeet ne itna bara kadam utha liya?

Daya stopped for some moments.. and then spoke up.. "bohot kuch.. bohot kuch ho gaya hai sir.. bohot bari galati ho gayi mujhse humesha ki tarha.."

Acps sir: kya?

Daya(instantly): par woh to Abhijeet hai na sir? mera Abhi.. woh to humesha... mai.. mai manta hu maine jo uske sath kia hai.. mujhe pata hai wo mafi ke layek nehi hai.. par woh to Abhi hai na sir.. (he murmured) ab mai kaha jau?

Acp sir sighed and softened his voice.. "mujhe nehi pata tum dono mei kya hua hai.. par itna jaroor mai samjh gaya hu uske bato se ki woh tumpe naraz ho kr hi yeh sab kuch kia hai Daya.. roko use.. ek tum hi ho jo Abhijeet ko rok sakta hai.. tum jante ho na department ko Abhijjet jaisa officer ki kitni jaroorat hai.. "

Daya was not listening to him.. he was in his own thought.. So Acp sir came near to him and put his hand on Daya's shoulder.. feeling the touch Daya looked up..

Acp sir:jao mana kar wapas lao use.. mai intezar karunga..

Daya: wo man jayega na sir?

Acp sir smiled.. "aaj tak aise hua hai kabhi ki Daya kuch ahe aur Abhijeet wo na mane?"

Daya nodded in no.. "nehi kabhi nehi.. woh humesha meri baat man leta hai.. "

Acp sir: uske liye use tum taken for granted mat man lena Daya..

Daya: sir aapko to pata hi nehi hai maine use kya kaha hai.. aap sunenge to aap bhi... main bohot bura hua sir.. (he turned his face to other side.. he didn't want to show his tears to his Boss.. )

Acp sir: dekho Daya mai tumpe gussa karunga.. tumhe do char baatein sunaunga mere bete ko hurt karne ke liye.. par jo Dard Abhijeet ko mila hai, wo dard se to mujhe guzarna nehi parega na Daya.. aur dekho, mai yeh sab keh raha hu, par maine bhi to Abhijeet ko kiti bar galat samjha hai, kitni bar bura bhala sunaya hai, bura bartav kia hai uske sath.. par wo sab kuch sehen lia hai, sehen Kar paya hai kyuki tum uske sath the.. jis par woh sabse jyada bharosha karta hai.. par agar tum hi use thukra doge to, woh to tut hi jayega na Daya..

Dya looked down..

Daya: sir mai use sorry bolne aaya tha bureau mei.. kyuki subha wo mujhe ghar par mila hi nehi.. aur raat ko uske samne jane ki himmat nehi thi mujhme.. to socha tha jab sab ke samne use maine insult kia hai.. to sab ke samne hi maafi bhi mangunga... par sir...(his tears did not listen to him now and rolled down from his cheeks)sir main samajh hi nehi paya ki maine use.. maine Abhijeet ko itna chot pauchaya hai ki woh resignation dene ka faisla le lia hai... aab mai kya karu sir.. kya karu mai kya karu? (He was so helpless)

Acp sir: jao uske pas.. jo chot tumne use di hai, uspe marham tum hi laga sakte ho..

Daya mopped his tears.. and said in strong tone.. "yes sir.. mai jaunga.. aur use manaunga bhi.. Abhijeet mujhe kitna bhi daante, mai sun lunga.. but sir I promise, mai use wapas launga.. aur tab aap use yeh resignation letter wapas kar dena.. mai Abhijeet ke pas jaunga.. baat karunga.. aur waps jaroor launga use.."

Acp smiled and patted his back.. Daya smiled back and went out of the bureau Running..

Freddy came to Acp sir..

Freddy: sir, aap Daya sir pe gussa nehi hai? hum sab to bohot gussa hai Daya sir se.. unhe Abhijeet sir ko waise to nehi bolna chahiye tha na sir?

Acp sir(softly): Freddy yeh waqt gussa karne ka nehi hai.. hume aisa kuch karna chahiye jisse Abhijjet aur Daya ke bich ka misunderstanding...

Freddy(cutting Acp sir's sentence): misunderstanding nehi hai sir woh.. Daya sir khud Abhijeet sir se kaha hai woh sab kuch.. Khud.. ise aap misunderstanding bilkool nehi keh sakte hai sir..

Acp sir: mai janta hu Freddy, jo bhi Daya ne kia hai, bohot galat ki hai..

Freddy: bohot jyada galat kia hai Daya sir ne, sir.. woh kaise Abhijeet sir ko unke memory losss ke bare mei aisa kuch keh sakte hai? hume to biswas hi nehi ho rha tha ki wo sab kuch Daya sir Abhijeet sir se bol rehe hai.. woh bhi hum sab juniors ke samne.. Abhijjet sir ka gussa bilkul jayez hai sir.. hum sab bhi bohot naraz hai Daya sir se.. aur aapko bhi sayed utna softly Daya sir se baat karne ki jaroorat nehi thi.. aap nehi jante sir us din exactly kya hua tha.. aap spot par nehi the na sir, to aap andaza bhi laga payenge.. Daya sir jab bol rehe the, tab hume hi itna bura lag raha tha, to na jane Abhijjet sir ke dil mei kya kya chal raha hoga.. Daya sir did very wrong sir very wrong..

Acp sir smiled lightly.. "lagta hai mera yeh sher aaj bohot gusse mei hai.. " Freddy looked at other side..

Acp sir: gussa shant karo Freddy.. koi bhi kam gusse mei thik se nehi hota.. dekho Freddy, hume undon mei jo bhi baat hai, use suljhana hoga.. tum chahte ho na Daya aur Abhijeet phir se pehele jaisa ban jaye?

Freddy: sirf mai kyu sir hum sab chahte hai.. par kya aab yeh possible hoga?

Daya came back to home.. he ran towards Abhijeet's room.. and banged pen the door.. with.. "Abhi"

Abhijeet looked back at him..

Abhijeet: tum.. is waqt ghar aa geye? bureau mei kaam nehi hai?

He asked Daya.. but he did not stop or stand infront of him.. he was busy with his previous work..

Daya steped forward to him.. and saw the luggage..

Daya(eyeing on those he answered): yeh bags, yeh luggage.. kya kar rehe is sab ke sath?

Abhijeet(ignored him): Acp sir tumhe itni jaldi aane kaise dia? (suddenly he remembered something and looked at Daya) tabiyat to thik hai na tera?

Daya looked at him.. and looking at his eyes, Abhijeet changed his facial and mental expression of concern..

Abhijeet: bolo bhi.. ghoor kyu rehe ho mujhe?

Daya came near to him..

Daya: boss.. yeh tumne kya kia? Acp sir ko tumne resignation letter de aaye..? kyu?

Abhijeet: meri marzi..

Daya(in loud tone): kya tumhari marzi! yeh koi khel hai kya?

Abhijeet(he too spoke in loud voice): oonchi awaz mei mujhse baat mat karo Daya.. mai koi mujrim nehi hu.. aur yeh baat tum hi ne saabit kia hai is bar.. (in lower) mante nehi ho wo alag baat..

Daya:kya! mai.. mai nehi manta?

He went near to him and grabbed his shoulder.. "Abhijeet mai nehi manta? mai nehi manta ki tum bekasoor ho? tum aisa lagta hai boss?"

Abhijeet: choro mujhe..

He pushed Daya slowly.. and was about to go out..

Daya: ruko Abhi.. please..

Abhijeet stopped..

Daya(in teary tone): Abhi.. meri baat suno.. maine jo tumse kaha tha.. wo maine tumse gusse mei kaha tha.. tum.. tum to jante ho na yaar, mai tumse kitna pyar karta hu? tum to jante ho na jo maine us din kaha tha, aisa kuch bhi nehi hai mere dil mei.. tum to jante ho na bolo Abhi..

Abhijeet: Daya.. dil mei tha, isliye zuban par aaya hai..

Daya ran to him..

Daya: boss.. tum mera yakken karo.. aisa kuch bhi mere dil mei nehi hai.. kuch bhi nehi.. woh Dcp, wo Chitrole.. usne mujhe..

Abhijeet: usne tumhe kya? bharkaya? mera khilaf? ulti sidhi baatein kahi, mere against?

Daya looked down..

Abhijeet lifted his face up..

Abhijeet:woh mera koi nehi lagta Daya.. par tu to mera bhai hai na? hmm?

A tear drop fell from his eyes.. he rubbed that and went out of the room..

Daya remained like a statue hearing that.. He understood how his words hurt his Abhi..after some moment he followed Abhijeet..

Daya: Abhi.. please yaar mujhe maaf kar do.. dekho mai manta hu galti hui hai mujhse.. bohot bari galati.. par tum to mere Abhi ho na.. tum to mere har chote bare galtion ko maaf kar dete ho humesha.. please Abhi maaf kar do na.. please Abhi.. aisa mat karo mere sath.. aapne aapke sath.. achha dekho, tum mujhe mar lo kuch bhi kar lo.. par mujhse aise ruthe mat raho.. aur.. aur resignation.. please tum withdraw ar lo yaar.. Acp sir tumhare liye wait kar rehe hai.. unhone mujhse kaha ki mai tumhe le kar bureau mei wapas jau.. tum chaloge na mere sath?

Abhijeet was doing some work in kitchen.. Daya went to him and grabbed his hands..

Daya: Abhi.. chaloge na? pleaseeee..

Abhijeet: jaunga Daya.. jaunga..

Daya smiled broadly..

Abhijeet: par bureau nehi.. is sheher se door chala jaunga..

Daya's smiled vanished in a second.. he losed his grip on Abhijeet's hand..

Daya: kya matlab?

Abhijeet:matlab bohot asan hai Daya.. mai ja raha hu mumbai chor ke..

Daya: Abhijeet tum...

Abhijeet: kuch mat kaho.. please.. it's a request to you.. kuch mat kaho.. (he stopped speaking.. Daya also did not say anything.. after some momemnt Abhijeet started speaking again taking a deep breath..) mai thak gaya hu Daya.. bohot jyada.. yaar, jab meri pehechan hi mujhse door ho gaya tha.. tabhi mujhe tum sab se, jinhe mai pehechanta tha pehele, un sab se door ho jana chahiye tha.. tabhi.. par sayed mai hi you know greedy tha.. ek bar sab kuch wapas pana chahta tha.. ekbar sab kuch neye se shuru karna chahta tha mai bhi kahi na kahi... par aisa nehi hota hai Daya.. aur meri yeh jo bimaari hai na.. memory loss ka, yeh koi biswas nehi krta hai...

Daya was going to say something but Abhijeet stopped him saying..

Abhijeet: karni bhi nehi chahiye.. kyuki mai to bahar se bilkul it hu na.. kaun bhala biswas karega.. agar.. mai hota.. baki sb ke jaga, to sayed mai bhi biswas nehi karta.. sochta kya yaar, ise sab kuch to thik se aata hai.. bas kam ke time mei hi ise kuch yaad nehi aata.. hota hai.. aisa hota hai..

Yaar dekho.. mai tumse yah yah par kisi se naraz hoke yah gussa hoke nehi ja raha hu... mai bas isliye ja raha hu kyuki mai is sab ki layek nehi hu.. I don't deserve to be a CID officer... I don't.. pehechan asli chiz hota hai sab ke liye.. har ek inssan ke liye... jo mera nehi hai.. jo hai woh tum logo ka dia hua hai.. mera nehi hai.. aur tum logo ka dia hua hai, agar tum log use wapas lena chahte ho, to mai to protest nehi kar sakta na.. karna bhi nehi chahiye.. isiliye mai jana chahta hu.. khudka ek pehechan.. ek identity banane ke liye.. jaha koi bhi us purane Abhijeet ko janta nehi pehechanta nehi hai.. isi Abhijeet.. jise tum logone.. (he smiled) khas kar tumne.. banaya hai.. isi Abhijeet ko log pehechanenge.. dekho suicide to mai kar nehi sakta.. utni himmat nehi hai.. nehi to wohi asan tarika tha.. par kya karu wo ho nehi sakta mujhse.. to mujhe jeena to parega.. aur jine ke liye sab ko.. ek identity chahiye hota hai.. ek existence jispe wo depend kar sake.. it's must.. ab mera ho hai nehi.. matlab maine ho kho dia hai.. accident ho yah kuch bhi, I lost that.. to ja raha hu ek neyi pehechan ke khoj mai..

Abhijeet put his hand on Daya's shoulder..

Abhiheet: ek baat puchu?

Daya smiled lightly.. and nodded..

Abhijeet: jo pehechan.. (his voice was chocking) jo pehchan tumne mujhe dia tha, mai wo sath mei le kar jau? nehi CID officer nehi.. yaad hai ekabr mai bohot hyper ho raha tha.. aur tumne mujhe shant karna ke liye bohot jor se chilla kar kaha tha.. 'sir aap Abhijeet Srivastav ho.. mai keh raha hu aap Abhijeet Srivastav ho.. yehi aapka pehechan hai.. kyuki mai keh raha hu.. aur aapko mujhe yakeen karna hi hoga kyuki Abhiheet Srivastav mujh par humesha yaakeen karte aaye hai.. '

Abhijeet smiled remembering that..

wohi pehechan Daya.. le jau?

Daya looked at him for some moment.. and then replied..

Daya: Jao..

Abhijeet pulled back his hand which was on Daya's shoulder..

Daya(said again): jao.. jao..

Saying this Daya turned and slowly went out of the House..

Abhijeet kept staring at him going.. but did not stop him..
