He jumped from the sofa after realizing what the time is.

Daya(murmuring): Damn it zara sa Abhi beemar ho jaye aur meri aankh hi nahi khulti h… (looking at Abhijeet) boss ko abhi aa kr check krta hun..

He rushed out from the room and then came back after half an hour wearing new cloths as he was ready to go. He touched Abhijeet's body.

Daya(loudly): Oh God.. ise to phir se fever ho gaya… wo bhi kl ki tarha.. (shakes Abhijeet) Abhi… c'mon aankhen kholo yaar…. Abhi..

He sat beside him and dilled doctor's number who consoled him by saying he will be there in five minutes.

Daya sat there holding Abhijeet's warm hand, he was just staring at him.

Daya(murmuring): Am sorry boss… sb meri waja se hua h.. please mujhe maaf kr dena agar mujhe pata hota ke tm itna tension le lo ge to me goli bhi kha leta lekin esa nahi krta…

He stopped after listening to the door bell.

Daya(rushing outside): Doctor hoga…

He opened the door and found doctor standing there.

Daya(getting aside): Ayye doctor sahab. Good Morning

Doc. entered nodding and they both went inside Abhijeet's room. After doing checkups.

Doctor: is tarha baar baar itna high fever hona theek nahi h.. inhe kuch mental stress h to koshish kren ke ye zada stress na len. Mene injection diya h phir se abhi half hour me hosh aa jayega.. aur phir kuch khila kr dose de deeje ga inhe.

Daya nodded as yes and said thanks to the doctor. After coming back he again checked Abhijeet then went towards kitchen.

Daya: Breakfast ready rakhta hun… kya banauu…(opens fridge and started displacing things) In the mean time he received a call.

Daya(looking at the screen): Arey baap re ACP sir ki call h.. aaj to phone pr hangama mach jayega.. Good Morning sir.

ACP(teasing): Good morning ho gayi tmhari Daya, aaj bureau ana bhi h ya ghr pr aaun files le kr?

Daya(slapping his forehead and winking to himself): Nahi sir wo files to mai bureau aa kr hi complete karunga… (serious) sir wo asal me Abhijeet ki tabiyat phir se kharab ho gayi to mujhe der ho rahi h… mai thoda late aaunga.

ACP(serious): Kyu..? Raat tk to wo theek tha na.. ab kya hua use.. bht parshan kiya hoga tmne.

Daya(embarrassed): Nahi sir.. raat me wo bilkul theek tha but abhi phir se dekha to bht tez bukhar h use.. abhi doctor aya tha… to us ne injection diya h.

ACP: Accha chalo theek h…. aao phir tm jb us ki tabiyat thodi theek ho jaye… aur haan… parshaan mt krna use.. khayal rakhna.. me shaam me aaunga dekhne ke liye.

Daya(smiling): Theek h sir.

After cancelling the call he went into the kitchen.. while making the breakfast he heard a loud voice calling him. He rushed towards Abhijeet's room and was shocked to find him struggling to wake up. He was continuously calling Daya.

Daya(rushing towards Abhijeet and shaking him): Abhijeet… shaking his arm Abhi yaar aankhen kholo.. mai hun na yaha..

Abhijeet jerked open his eyes and hold Daya's hand tightly….

Abhijeet(out of breath): Daya…. Wo..woo.. paani..

Daya(rubbing his hand on his back and nodding): Haan..tm shaant ho jao me lata hun paani…

Half running he went inside the kitchen to fetch water.. and came back to Abhijeet who was looking a bit better now. He gave water to him. Abhijeet gulped down the water in one go.

Daya(concern): Kya ho gaya tmhe..?

Abhijeet(relaxly pushing himself backwards): kuch nahi.

Daya: Mujhe le kr kuch dekha sapne me.

Abhijeet(patting Daya's shoulder): Tu itna tension mt le.. esa kuch nahi tha.

Daya(sitting beside him): Boss batao na.. kya baat h…

Abhijeet(looking straight in his eyes): Daya me repeat nahi krna chahta usey…

Daya(lowering his head): Mujhe pata h tm ne mere call na uthane se related kuch dekha h sapne me.. he again looked at Abhijeet.

Abhijeet(looking away): Samajhta reh kuch bhi..

Daya: Tm batana nahi chahte kyu ke tmhe lagta h mujhe bura lagega.

Abhijeet(irritated tone): Daya yaar please itna investigate mt kr…

Daya(holding Abhijeet's hand): Accha batao tmhe kis baat ka stress h… haan… pata h doctor kya keh raha tha.

Abhijeet: Mujhe koi stress nahi h… kya keh raha tha..?

Daya: Wo keh raha tha ke tmhe roz roz itna fever hona theek nahi h.. aur ab tm ne kuch zada socha na to mai pakka chala jaunga tmhe chod kr…

Abhijeet(smirking): Moo to dekhun janab ka zara… itni himmat h tmhare andr..

Daya(laughing and lightly punching Abhijeet): Kya boss tm bhi na…

He then brought the breakfast and made Abhijeet eat every bit of it… then he gave him his medicine.

Abhijeet(giving the glass back to Daya): Bht sewa kr li meri Daya.. chalo tm ab bureau jao…

Daya(sitting on the chair): Haan haan jaunga na abhi..

Abhijeet: Daya bahane mt banao.. please dekho 1 to yahi baj gaya… mai theek hun yaar ab…

Daya: Hmm ja raha hun thodi der me..

Abhijeet(loudly): Daya jao tm foran…

Daya(looking at him): Accha theek h… bs tm ek promise karo.

Abhijeet(confused): kesa promise?

Daya(spreading his hand): tm zada socho ge nahi… aur agar tmhe tabiyat kharab hoti hui lage to tm mujhe foran call karoge..

Abhijeet smiled and put his hand in Daya's.

Daya stood up and went inside his room to change. He again came back with a bottle of water.

Daya(placing bottle on the side table): Ye bottle rakh di h yaha.. agar pani peena ho to is me se lena… aur tm abhi tk bethe kyu hun..(pushing him back to bed) chalo leto ab.. bht der beth liye..

Abhijeet(irritated): Kya Daya.. tu kya samjh raha h… kitna beemar hun mai.. haan… bewakoof insane..

Daya: kuch bhi ho.. tmhe to hamesha yehi lagta h ke tmhe kuch nahi hua.. chalo leto..

He made Abhijeet lie on bed and then covered him with blankets.

Daya(pressing Abhijeet's arm): Boss mai ja raha hun ab… shaam me jaldi aaunga.. aur haan.. ACP sir bhi aayenge shaam me… chalo apna khayal rkhna aur phone krna agar kuch bhi ho to.

Abhijeet(assuring him with eyes): Theek h bhayi.. tum bhi khayal rakhna apna.

He went away after locking the door from outside. He was making a plan in the whole way. After reaching bureau.

Freddy: Good afternoon Daya sir.. Abhijeet sir kese hn..?

Daya: Afternoon Freddy… Abhijeet ab better h pehle se..

After replying to all of them he made his way towards his desk.

ACP: Daya… mere cabin me aao..

Daya went inside his cabin.

ACP: Betho.

Daya: Thank you sir.

ACP: Haan to kesi tabiyat h Abhijeet ki?

Daya: Ab to thodi theek thi sir.

ACP: To kya kehta h doctor.

Daya: wo sir usne bola h use koi stress h is liye dono baar itna high fever hua..

ACP: to koi parshani ki baat to nahi h na..

Daya(looking sad): Nahi sir koi baat nahi h..

ACP(sighing and looking at him keenly): Dayaaa…. Kya baat h batao mujhe..

Daya(looking at ACP): Sir wo..

ACP(softly): Batao… bologe nahi to samajh me kese aayega.

Daya: Sir wo Doctor ne bola tha ke Abhijeet ko yaha se bahar le jane ke liye… I mean city se.. use stress h to thoda mind divert ho jayega uska… lekin sir me to abhi kl hi wapus aaya hun chutti se is liye..

ACP(intrupting): Arey pehle batana chahye tha na… koi baat nahi tm 3-4 din ki chuttiyan aur extend kr lo… Bs Abhijeet theek ho jaye.. waise doctor sahi keh raha h.. use bahar le jane se stress bhi km ho jayega…

Daya(looking extremely happy): Sir sachhi..?

ACP(looking at him keenly): Haan bhayi…

Daya: Thank you sir..

ACP: to tm kaha jaoge?

Daya(thinking): Sir soch raha hun Lonavala hi le jaun… zada mushkil bhi nahi hoga aur phir booking wooking bhi asaani se ho jayegi.

ACP(nodding): Hmm theek h… to kb niklo ge?

Daya: Sir kl subha nikal jayen?

ACP: Haan kyu nahi… chalo abhi kaam karo apna… aur haan shaam me ghr jana to mujhe bhi le lena saath me..

Daya nodded and moved out from the cabin.

Before 5 o clock he finished his work and rushed towards ACP's cabin.

Daya: Sir ye files complete ho gayin hn… to ab mai jaun?

ACP(looking at the files): Jaun nahi.. mujhe bhi le kr chalo.

Daya(nodding): Yes sir.. chaliye.

They reached at DUO's house within fifteen minutes.

ACP: tum ne call ki thi Abhijeet ko?

Daya(opening the lock): Nahi sir.. wo so raha hoga wrna khud hi call kr deta.

Daya opened the door and then closed it after coming inside with ACP.

Daya: Sir aye..

He took him to Abhijeet's room and found him sleeping.

Daya(moving towards Abhijeet): Abhi tk so raha h ye.

ACP(raising hand in air): Daya soney do abhi use… rehne do me wait kr leta hun.

Daya(moving his head in no): Sir is ne abhi tk medicine nahi li h… uthana zaroori h..

ACP: Accha theek h… to tb tk me bahar hun…

He went outside, as he wanted to give time to both of them alone.

Daya woke Abhijeet up.

Daya(angrily): Tm ne apna dose kyu nahi liya?

Abhijeet(smirking): Aankh khulti to leta na.

Daya(surprised): To tm subha se abhi tk so rahe the.

Abhijeet: Abey 1 baje to tu gaya tha… ab 1 baje teri subha hoti ho to me kuch nahi keh sakta.

Daya(whishpering): Accha ACP sir aaye hn tm se milne…. (smiling)waise meri shikayat mt krna abhi.

Abhijeet(smiling): Tm bulao to..

Daya went and called ACP.

ACP(entering): Arey Abhijeet kya hua bhayi..

Abhijeet(trying to sit): Kuch nahi sir.. me to theek hun…

ACP(sitting beside him): Leto raho… leta raho…. Daya to bht pareshan tha.

Abhijeet(lying again and smiled looking at Daya): Sir ye Daya bhi na… ese hi tension le leta h choti choti baton pr.

ACP(touching Abhijeet's forehead): Haan wo to mujhe pata h… waise abhi bhi h tmhe fever to.

Daya(coming closure): Abhi bhi h?

Abhijeet(raising his hand): Kuch nahi Daya… dose nahi liya na to is liye hoga… tm jao aur coffee banao sir ke liye.

Daya rolled his lips in O shape and went outside nodding. ACP smiled at Abhijeet and they talked for fifteen minutes when Daya came back with three cups of tea.

ACP(taking the cup): To Abhijeet tm to kl ja rahe ho Daya ke saath.

Daya helped Abhijeet to sit properly on bed and handed him the cup.

Abhijeet(shocked): Kaha jana h?

ACP: Batao bhayi Daya.

Daya: Haan wo doctor ne bola tmhe yaha se bahar le jane ko to sir ne permission di h… to kl subha hm niklenge.

Abhijeet: Ye kya bakwaas h Daya.. mujhe nahi jana kahin.. tm bht doctor ki baat manne lage?

Daya: Lekin boss… tmhare liye stress lena khatarnaak h.. yaar samjho baat ko.

Abhijeet: Daya me…

ACP(interrupting): Abhijeeeet…! Tm kl jao ge Daya ke sath.. no more arguing…

After sitting for some more minutes he departed…. Abhijeet turned his face to the other side after seeing Daya entering inside the room.

Daya(smiling): Boss.. tabiyat kesi h?

Abhijeet remained silent.

Daya(giving him the bowl): Accha chalo ye soup pe lo.

Abhijeet: Daya mujhe kl nahi jana h…. mujhe koi malaria nahi hua ke tum mujhe yaha se bahar le ja rahe ho.

Daya(sitting beside him): Abhijeet please mana mt karna.. please.

Abhijeet guessing the reason slightly nodded and took the bowl from Daya's hand.

Daya started packing Abhijeet's cloth excitedly.

Daya(excitedly): boss ye wali shirt rakkhun na tmhari… aur ye wali to zaroor rakkhunga.. kl hi laya tha…

After completing the packing he talked with Abhijeet for some time and then went to sleep on the sofa present there.

In the morning—

Daya woke up after looking at the clock. He was looking really excited. After taking a shower he woke up Abhijeet.

Daya: Chalo boss tm bhi shower le kr aao tb tk me breakfast ready krta hun.

In half hour they were ready to go.

Daya: Abhi tm aage betho ge ya peeche?

Abhijeet: Aage bethunga yaar. Daya yaar mera bilkul dil nahi h jane ka.

Daya(helping Abhijeet to sit): Haan haan mujhe pata h.

Daya then went inside and brought the baggage, locked the doors and windows and came back and sat on the driver's seat. The journey was quite pleasant and the smooth road of highway was making it more pleasant. Daya was looking at Abhijeet to check whether he's doing fine. After sometime he noticed that Abhijeet's having a difficulty sitting.

Daya: Abhi tm peeche let jao.

Abhijeet(pushing the back of the seat): Nahi me theek hun.

Daya(innocently): To mene kaha bola ke tm kharab ho?

Abhijeet smiled and closed his eyes. They reached in four and half hour.

Daya(throwing bags on the floor): Me ata hun fresh ho kr..

Abhijeet(changing his shoes): Jaldi ana.

After having some food they went to the lake. Daya told everything to Abhijeet about what they did on their previous visit.

Daya(naughty): Kya boss.. tm itne serious kyu betho ho… kuch maza nahi aa raha mujhe.

Abhijeet(shrugging): Maine pehle hi kaha tha mera mood nahi h.

Daya(poking): Lekin ab to maza krna hi padega na.

Abhijeet smiled.

Daya(punching his arm): Kya he yaar …. Me bore ho raha hun na.

Abhijeet: to mai kya karun.

Daya: kuch karo na…

Abhijeet: Accha jao wo lemon juice le kr aao.

Daya came back with two glasses. He handed one to Abhijeet and started drinking his own. After completing.

Daya: Arey tm kb pioge?

Abhijeet: Abhi peeta hun.

Daya nodded and started looking at the other side. But at the next moment he was dipping in lemon juice. He in a great shock looked at Abhijeet, who just emptied his lemon juice on him and was standing at a safe distance from him.

Daya(running towards him): Abhiii… tmhari himmat kese hui esa krne ki..

Abhijeet(running too): tmne hi to bola ke tm bore ho rahe ho.

They started running between people, laughing loudly. When suddenly Abhijeet turned and looked at Daya.

Daya came laughing uncontrollably and pushed Abhijeet on the sand and started beating him. They both were laughing like anything.

Daya(leaving and giving him his hand): Thanks boss.

After that they came back to their hotel room.

3 day—

Daya: Awww Abhi hme kl jana h…

Abhijeet(looking up from his plate): Abey to kya yaal poori zindagi guzarne aya tha?

Daya(sighing): Kya museebat h yaar… kya zindagi h.

Abhijeet: Ab ye zindagi kaha se aa gayi beech me.

Daya(smiling sadly): Kuch nahi.

Abhijeet: Kya hua h Daya… 3 dino se ese hi dull lag rahe ho.. hmm kya baat h?

Daya: Koi baat nahi h… aaj hame park me jana h na… tm jaldi breakfast khatm karo jaldi.

Abhijeet(looking at him keenly): Daya.. ghoomne se accha hoga tu pehle apna dimagh khali kr le… batayega nahi kya baat h.

Daya(sighing defeatedly): Me pareshan ho gaya hun yaar.

Abhijeet: Kis se?

Daya: Hr cheez se.. apne aap se.. ek tarha se rehte hue.. crimes se. ye kesi zindagi h yaar.

Abhijeet: Yehi zindagi h Daya… isi me tmhe khushiya dhoondni hn.

Daya(looking at Abhijeet): Kaha se dhoondu khushiyan me… hr mod pr ek laash mil jati h.

Abhijeet: Daya ese nahi kehte hn yaar. Apne aas paas dekho sb khushiyan hi to hn… accha sochoge tbhi to accha nazar aayega sb… Kyu ye sb soch soch kr apna mood kharab kr raha h… jis pal me hm jeete hn na Daya… wohi zindagi h… ateet me kya hua ya bhawishya me kya hoga wo zindagi nahi h.. isi me hame jeena h… ise me khush rehna h..

Daya nodded while starring at his plate.

Abhijeet patted his arm.

Abhijeet: smajhe.. chalo ab utho…

Daya(looking defeated): Mera dil nahi kr raha Abhi..

Abhijeet(sighing): Accha tum room me to chalo.

Abhijeet forcefully made Daya come back into room where he sat on his bed silently.

Abhijeet(sitting beside him): Dekho Daya… bachpan me jo kuch tmhare saath hua wo sb tmhare liye bht takleef dey tha na.. (Daya nodded) to us ke baad tm aage badhe to tmhe khushiyan nahi milin? Tmhe police academy me log nahi mile jo tmhara khayal rakhte the.. Tmhe CID me aa kr hm log nahi mile? Tm ne CID me aane ke baad kabhi us purani zindagi ke bare me palat kr nahi socha sirf inhi logo ki waja se jo tm se mohabbat krte hn. Daya ye sb khushiya hi to hn.. Bs jo tmhare saath hua use bhula do…. Aur jo hoga uske bare me sochna chod dey tu… abhi jo krna h bs usey dekh… usi me jeena seekh. Khushiyan to tmhe dhoondh hi chuki hn… bs der us waqt ki h jb tm khud khusiyon ko dhoondh lo ge aur un me jeena seekh loge.

Abhijeet left him thinking and went to take a shower. He came back and found Daya sleeping peacefully. Smiling he went towards his bed and started reading a book. It was 4 when Daya woke up.

Daya: Oh 4 baj gaya.. tm mujhe utha nahi sakte the.

Abhijeet: Sahab kaano me loha daal kr soye the to mai kya krta.

Daya(confused): matlab.

Abhijeet: Abey itna hangama kiya mene teri aankh hi nahi khuli..

Daya smiled and went towards washroom. Abhijeet found him relaxed and found his smile a real one.

Daya(coming back): Boss aj to shopping karane le chalo na.

Abhijeet: Haan kyu nahi.

They went to the mall. Daya as usual brought many things for himself and for Abhijeet.

Daya: Tm apne liye kuch khareed te hi nahi ho.. khareed te ho to ekdm bakwaas combination ke.

Abhijeet: Accha chalo ab mere kaan mt khao ye sb bakwaas krke… bada aaya waha se gayaani kahi ka.

They came back to their room and started packing.

Next morning—

Abhijeet(rushing here and there): Daya sb le liya na…

Daya: Haan sb le liya.. bs ab aur kaha to ye bed aur table waghera bhi rakhwa dunga Qualis me.

Abhijeet looked at him. And came close to him.

Daya(backing): Kya hua boss.. sorry.. ese khatarnaak tareeke se mt aao yaar.

Abhijeet smiled and hugged him. Daya relaxed in his hug.

Abhijeet(slowly): Thanks Daya.

Daya: Thanks to you too Abhi.

Abhijeet left him and smiled patting his cheek.

Abhijeet: Chalen?

Daya nodded and they made their way towards Qualis. The journey back to Mumbai was a bit gloomy to both of them but they both were enjoying every moment of that.

Daya: Accha Abhi ek baat bataun.

Abhijeet: Tm subha se ek hi baat bata rahe ho yaar.

Daya: Nahi tm daant na mt yaar.

Abhijeet: Abey bol to..

Daya(hesitantly): Pata h Abhi.. tmhe Lonavala laney ki baat to sirf mera plan thi.

Abhijeet(confused): me samjha nahi.

Daya: wo.. doctor ne nahi kaha tha tmhe kahi le jane… mene bs ek plan banaya tha.

Abhijeet(Shocked): Kya… Dayaa… tune…. Tune jhoot bola ACP sir se aur mujh se.

Daya: Nahi jhoot nahi… Doc. ne sach me kaha tha ke fever hona tmhare liye theek nahi h… to mene thoda aur namak mirch laga diya is pr(he winked).

Abhijeet slapped hard on his head.

Abhijeet(Angry): Kyu? Kya zaroorat thi tmhe ye krne ki.. haaan..

Daya(rubbing his head): Yaar wo…. Me jb tk tmhe yaha le nahi jata me apne aap ko maaf nahi kr pata. Mene tmhe kitni takleef di Abhi… tm ne kuch kaha hi nahi… mujhe bht afsos tha… Sacchi Abhi.. aur sach kahun to mujhe jitna maza tmhare saath aya pehle nahi aya tha. Abhi… tm mujhe maaf to kr doge na.

Abhijeet(slapping his forehead): Daya.. yaar mujhe nahi pata tha tu intna bewakoof h… yaar me kya krun tera…. Mujhe daantna accha nahi laga.. tujhe afsoos tha apni ghalti pr bs itna hi kaafi tha. Tujhe maar kr.. ya naraaz ho kr me tujhe aur takleef me nahi daalna chahta mene us waqt bhi kaha tha aur ab phir kehta hun Daya mene tujhe maaf kr diya na… please us baat ko baar baar mt bolo… jo ho gaya usey bhool jao.

Daya(smiling): Thank you boss.

Abhijeet patted Daya's shoulder and smiled looking at him.

Abhijeet(smirking): Waise Daya pata h.. ACP sir ko tere plan ke bare me sb pata tha.

Daya(shocked): KYA…! Tmhe kese pata.

Abhijeet(laughing): jb tm chaye banane gaye the to sir ne mujhe bata diya tha.

Daya(still shocked): Tmne pehle kyu nahi bataya mujhe.. aur unhe kese pata chala?

Abhijeet: Unhe phone kiya tha doctor ko mere bare me maloom krne ke liye to usi beech me us ne kaha ke agar mujhe phir se fever ho to wo uske hospital me mujhe le jayen… Phir sir ne bataya ke tm to agle din mujhe le ja rahe ho doc ke kehne pe…

Daya (embarrassed): Kya yaar.. (realizing) yaar sir ab daatenge na mujhe.

Abhijeet: Nahi yaar… unhe bhi pata h sb kuch… ke tm kis phase se guzar rahe the… to unhe bhi tmhe time dena tha kuch.

Daya(sighing in relief): accha tm ne mujhe pehle kyu nahi bataya..

Abhijeet(smirking): Mujhe janna tha na ke aakhir waja kya h… aur phir itna bada jhatka kese deta.

Daya started laughing and punched Abhijeet's arm.
