The whole team was in a go down for a case. Daya and Shreya were moving from the first gate. They went inside only to find a big bunch of goons.
They exchanged glances smirking and got back to business. Shreya was fighting the goons bravely and our senior inspector was stealing glances at her.
Suddenly, a goon was about to hit her with a brick when Daya pushed her and the brick hit him on his back of head. He fainted on the scene.
Shreya (screamed): Daya sir!
She fought the goons and took Daya outside. She called Abhijeet and then the ambulance.
Abhijeet came running and saw Daya lying on the floor. Shreya's napkin which was covering his wound was all red with blood and she was crying badly.
Abhijeet (took Daya in his lap): Daya! Uth na mere bhai (patted his cheeks):
Shreya (sobbing): Sir, Daya sir ki yeh halat mere wajah se huyi hai, voh ith mere liye thi, par Daya sir beech mein aa gye aur…
She broke down.
Abhijeet (consoling her): Shreya, tumhaari galati nhi hai ismein… tum shaant ho jao.
Shreya (teary): Sir, aap mujhe sambhal rhe hai, par aap bhi bahut dare huye hai.
Abhijeet went silent. Soon, the ambulance came and he was taken to the hospital.
He got admitted in the OT and the two got settled in the front of the theatre.
Shreya was sitting on the bench and crying badly. She was cursing herself, for not able to help her love. Abhijeet was standing and staring the OT door. He had a calm expression but his heart was storming for his friend. He sighed heavily and saw Shreya. He went to her and sat beside her. She hugged him immediately.
Shreya (crying): I am sorry, sir. Yeh sab meri wajah se huya hai. Agar mera dhyaan hota toh Daya sir ko khud par voh int (brick) lene ki zaroorat nhi hoti.
Abhijeet (hugged her back): Shreya, it's okay. Tumhaari koi galati nhi hai, tumhe koi andaza nhi tha ki Daya aisa karega.
Shreya (separated): Sir, ek baat btaiyega sach-sach. (Abhijeet nodded and she continued softly): Sir, kya ek pal ke liye bhi aapne mujhe iska zimmedar nhi samjha? Aapke man mein ek baar toh aaya hoga na ki is sabki zimmedar main hoon.
Abhijeet remained silent and glanced at the floor.
Shreya (smiled painfully): Dekha, aapko bhi laga hai ki main hi zimmedar in sab ki.
Abhijeet (looked at her): Shreya, us ek pal par main vishwaas nhi karta. Mujhe Daya par pura bharosa hai aur use tumpar, toh mujhe bhi hai tumpar poora bharosa.
Shreya looked at him and then towards the floor.
Soon, the lights of the OT got off and a doctor came out.
Shreya and Abhijeet got up and went to the doctor.
Shreya (composing herself): Doctor, Daya sir kaise hai?
Doctor (smiled): Voh ab thik hai, bas ek- do ghante mein hosh aa jayega, toh aap log unse mil sakte hai.
Shreya closed her eyes and took a deep sigh of relief. Abhijeet too smiled and released the breath, he don't from how long he had been holding.
Shreya (smiled): Thank you, doctor.
Doctor smiled and left.
After a long hour, Daya got his consciousness.
Shreya and Abhijeet went in to meet him, the doctor was already in the ward. Shreya had a bouquet of red roses and her pretty smile, which was only for him.
Daya looked towards them and smiled widely.
Shreya gave him the bouquet with a 'Get well soon and sorry'.
Daya (accepted the bouquet happily): Thank you aur yeh Sorry kis baat ki?
Shreya (sadly): Mere wajah se hi toh aapko lagi hai itni badi chot.
Daya smiled and looked towards Abhijeet.
Abhijeet (shrugged his shoulders): Bhai, mere taraf mat dekh, do ghante mein kam se kam nhi toh 50 baar bol chukka hoon ki yeh Shreya ke karan nhi huya hai par madam manne ko taiyaar nhi hai.
They all smiled.
Abhijeet (softly): Waise bhai ab kaisa hai tu?
Daya (smiled): Boss mujhe kya hoga, jab mera bhai aur mera pyaar mere saath hai. Dekho, abhi bhi dono mere saath hai.
The two got a shock; it felt like the electricity had passed through them.
Abhijeet (suspiciously): Kaun Daya?
Daya (chuckled): Kya boss? Kaun hai abhi mere saath?
Shreya felt like fainting. She passed a fake smile while Abhijeet looked at him with wide eyes. Doctor was observing everything.
Shreya (excusing herself): Ummm… main abhi ACP sir ko inform kar ke aayi.
Abhijeet (fake smile): Main bhi doctor ke saath aata hoon thodi der mein, tab tak aaram kar Daya.
Daya nodded and they went.
In Doctor's cabin,
Shreya (worried): Doctor, yeh kya ho rha hai?
Doctor (seriously): Dekhiye, lag rha unke sar par chot aane se unhein lagne laga hai ki aap unki girlfriend hai.
Abhijeet (thoughtfully): Toh doctor, tab toh sabke identity ke saath kucch na kucch problem huyi hogi Daya ko.
Doctor (after thinking): Pehle hume sabko unke saamne le jana hoga, phir hi pta chalega.
Shreya and Abhijeet exchanged glances and nodded.
All were sent to meet him, one by one, but he had no change.
It was sure that he had only got his memory changed for Shreya.
All got assembled in the conference room.
Abhijeet (insisting): Dekho Shreya, you have to do it.
Shreya (nervously): Sir, yeh mujhse nhi hoga, mana maine bahut se ladko ke saath aisa nata kiya hai par they were all criminals aur suspects but voh Daya sir hai. I will feel very guilty to do this to him.
ACP (softly): Shreya beta, dekho, tum yeh bas uski acchi health ke liye kar rhi ho… toh don't worry.
Shreya took a deep breath and nodded. All got happy.
Abhijeet (Thoughtfully): Ok, ab next step, Sachin aur Purvi, tum dono jao aur usse poocho ki in dono ke relationship ko kitna time huya hai.
The two nodded.
After sometimes, they came back.
Purvi (narrating): Sir, humne sir se nikalwaliya hai information. Unke hisab se in dono ke relationship ko 6 mahine ho gye hai.
Shreya (shocked): 6 mahine! (sat on the chair with a thud): God knows mere saath kya hone wala hai…
Shreya (thinking) I wish for some cheek kisses and hand holdings only (smiled): Waise uske aage Daya sir jaise shy insaan badh bhi nhi sakte before marriage.
She sighed in relief.
After sometimes, she went to his ward alone, gathering all her courage.
Shreya (forcefully): Daya sir.
Daya looked towards the door. He smiled as she sat on the stool beside his bed.
Daya (softly): Shreya, kyat um kisi baat se pareshaan ho?
Shreya was shocked and looked towards him with a jerk. Yes, he was right, she was upset and worried. But how did he get to know that?
Shreya (fake smile): Nhi, aisa kucch nhi hai.
Daya held her hands in his.
Daya (sighed): Shreya, don't lie to me. Jab bhi tum upset hoti ho toh tum mujhe 'sir' keh kar bulati ho.
Shreya (took a deep sigh): Nhi Daya, aisi baat nhi hai, bas main aapke health ko le kar pareshan hoon.
Daya (cupped her face): Dn't worry, Shreyu… Mujhe kucch nhi ho sakta jab tak tum aur Abhijeet mere saath ho.
Shreya smiled. She really felt good listening to the nickname, he gave to her. She felt like throwing her in his arms, but couldn't.
Shreya (sighed): Accha, ab aap araam kijiye, main zara doctor se baat kar ke aati hoon.
She stood and turned to go when Daya held her wrist and pulled her towards him. As a result, she sat on his lap.
He looked in her eyes and her cheeks burnt under his intense stare.
Shreya (nervously): Yeh aap…
Daya tucked her lock behind her ear and dragged in to her neck. She shivered and closed her eyes, breathing nervously. He buried his hand in her neck, hiding it in her hairs. She let out a breathy moan. He caressed her lips as she shivered more and more. She opened her eyes and looked at him, with all the love she had. He smiled and moved his face towards her. She was all the way looking in his eyes, while glancing occasionally at his lips as it approached hers. Their lips were about to approach but… someone let out a fake cough.
