Aftr speaking with doctor Abhijeet came back to Abhinash room but knocked
"Kaun?" a hesitant voice came from inside
Abhijeet entered with "baat ho gayi?"
Abhinash nodded "aapko knock krne ki jarurat nahi thi.."
Abhijeet didn't replied but sat on the couch relaxly "kal tumhare baki test ho jayega"
Abhinash nodded
Abhijeet looked down..He desperately wants to talk..Anything rubbish is ok..
But he wants to talk
Abhinash is lying with close eyes, pressing his head with left hand
He wants to know this Abhinash..And for that they need to speak..
Abhijeet took a deep breath and got up, sat beside the bed
Abhinash though sensed his presence didn't gave any reaction
Abhijeet removed his hand and started pressing Abhinash's forehead softly
Abhinash opened his eyes "mein thik hu aap.."
Abhijeet glared "ankh bandh"
Abhinash followed the order
Abhijeet remembered the complain of Abhinash that he never cared to know anything about his job Dream career
Abhijeet started in casual tone "waise tumhara research kitna agey barah?"
Abhinash again opened his eyes "kya?"
"wo research..kitna agey barah?"
"wo..aab testing level pey hey"
Abhijeet can sense Abhinash feeling odd but carried on
"waise yea research hey kis cheez pey?"
Abhinash smiled "aapko achanaq criminals ko chor ispey interest agaya?"
"haa..nahi..interest nahi..wo..haan..bas wo.."
Abhinash smiled strangely and looked away, trying to hide his eyes
Abhijeet gulped in large amount of air
"bas khwais hui ki apne bhai ki sapno ko pehchan lu"
Abhinash looked back to Abhijeet with a jerk
"arey jhatka lag jayega na..aram se"
Abhinash looked at Abhijeet fr few moments "mera sapna to bas ek pehli ko suljhana hey.." his voice turned Dreamy "humare dimaag ki pehli ko..science to bas dimaag manta hey usise decision making hota hey..usimey feelings..usime yadein banti hey usimey kho jati hey..per iss pehli ko koi pura sulajh paya..mein bas smjhna cahta hu..taki firse sb chut na jaye"
Abhijeet felt a sharp pain in his heart, he didn't replied but his fingers started moving in Abhinash's hair
Abhinash can feel a jerk in his whole body..some reshaping inside
he too now wants to blurt out..nothing particular but everything
"pata hey mein ek friendly microorganism ki species develop krne ki koshish mey hu jo humara nerves brain aur sare neurological problem ko heal krne mey help krega..brain ki sujan nerve ka dab jana sab..isse paralysis bhi thik ho payega.."
Abhijeet smiled lovingly "sach?fir to bahut kaam ki cheez hey.."
Abhinash nodded and tried to sit up,
Abhijeet adjusted the pillows and helped him to lie in half sit position
Abhinash continued "pata hey kaafi cases mey sar pey chot lagne se nerve dab jati hey..ager woha koi microorganism nerve ko bahut jyada activate kr dey to wo wapas thik ho skta hey..fir jab brain cells damage ho jaye ager wohi microorganism unn cells ko pura bikherne hi na dey..aur.." he continued saying
Abhijeet was looking at his face
he is looking so excited, he can find his small long lost brother in this pair of eyes..
"pata hey ager mein successful ho gaya na to dimaag ki sujan bhi kam kr payega yea..fir.."
he suddenly stopped and looked down
"fir?kisiko itna akela larna nahi parega hey na?"
Abhinash close his eyes tightly..
Abhijeet too remained silent
the silence was broken by the phone ringer
Abhijeet picked up the cell found Nidhi calling
"Nidhi ka call"
Abhinash didn't look up, Abhijeet received the call "ha Nidhi yea lo Abhinash se"
"bhaiya..unhe keh dijiye India mey humare company se jo representative hey Mr. James wo unse milne jarahe kal subha 8 baje ok mein bad mey baat krti hu"
Abhijeet can hear someone calling her so she cut the call
"Abhinash koi Mr. James tumse kal subha milne arahe hey"
Abhijeet said and was about to get up heard "mujhe nahi milna kisise"
he scowled "mtlb kyun?"
"wo James hume jo company finance kr raha hey hospital ki sath wo..uska representative hey"
"to?"
"mein aise nahi mil skta unse bas..aap Nidhi ko bolo mana kr dey"
Abhijeet really looked confused
"aise nahi mil sakte mtlb.."
"bas nahi mil skta.."
"kyun? Tum doctor ho to tumhara hath payer nahi tut sakta kya?"
"haa to hath payer tutta na..roshni se problm..kya (his voice turned wet) kahunga mein..mein aab..meine Nidhi taq ko nahi bataya..(his voice chocked) mein aab kabhie wo kam complete hi nahi kr paunga..yeahataq kisise socially milne ki kabil taq nahi..ek andhere kamre mey din gujarni hogi..dekhiye kaise kamra andhera kr rakha apne..rat ko bas wo dim light..mein aise milunga unse.."
Abhijeet sat beside him "Abhi.."
Abhinash looked at Abhijeet, who wiped the tears "arey ager kisiko kisi accident se koi problm ho gayi ho..to wo kya apni jindegi ko wohi rok ley?ager Nidhi ki sath aisa kuch hota to tum use leke sharam mehsus krte?"
Abhinash looked at him "pata nahi..mein to asehi hu..ek bar pehle bhi to yeahi sb kiya..sayed isiliye aab mujhe ahsas dilane ke liye.."
"nahi..ek mauka dene ke liye..aur meine kaha na yea prob thik ho jayega fir?"
"per mein unhe kya kahunga..wo.."
"kuch kehna nahi hoga..doctors keh denge ki ankh mey chot hey to wo bright light se dur rehna suggest kr rahe hey..thik hey?"
Abhinash didn't seem convinced
Abhijeet pressed his shoulder, he just nodded
then softly touched his own cheeks.. Unshaven face, unmanaged hair..
Abhijeet shook his head disappointedly
Abhinash noticed "nahi bas mein..kuch nahi"
a smile automatically came on Abhijeet's lips
"bhaiya aapne mujhe uthaya kyun nahi taiyar hona hey na"
"ha to 15 min hey ja nahake taiyar ho ja"
"arey 15min mey kaise?mujhe achese taiyar hona tha na..warna acha nahi dikhunga na.."
"hey bhagwan..tu mera bhai hey ki behen?acha aja idher..nahale fir mein achese taiyar kr dunga"
"aur aap aapko bhi achese taiyar hona hey na?"
Abhijeet scanned the 9years old properly "kyun tera nak kat jayega?"
"kyun mera nak kaise katega?koi nak lene ayega to aap use maroge nahi?"
"arey mein keh raha hu mein taiyar na hou to sahab ki ijjat utar jayegi?"
"haan..sab kahenge na Abhinash ki bhaiya ko sajna sabarna bhi nahi ata" Abhijeet's eyes doubled up
"sajna..savarna..mein.." he shook his head and turned strict "aab bura pitega tu..chal ja nahake aya..ja..."
Abhijeet looked at Abhinash who is sitting with extra sad face
"hmm huliya ka kuch krna hoga"
Abhinash heard the murmur but not clearly so looked up, Abhijeet said "jee?"
"kuch nahi..8baje wo ayenge"
Abhinash nodded
Abhijeet was feeling really light in heart.
Abhinash noticed his expressions, his mind went back to past
a 8year old child is sitting on bed beside another boy lying on bed
the landline rang
he received the call "ha ma bhaiya ko aab bhi bukhar hey aap kab ayogi?"
...
"jaldi ajao na"
...
"acha"
he cut the call and came back to bed
found his brother opening his eyes "bhaiya.."
"hmm"
"aapko dard ho raha hey?aap pani piyoge?aap ko bhukh lagi hey?"
now Abhijeet opened his eyes properly
"Abhi..tu aab taq baitha hey?khana nahi khaya na?"
"mujhe nahi khana..aap bolo na aap ko dard.."
Abhijeet cut him softly "mein bilkul thik hu beta..aur ma bhi thori der mey ajayegi..aab tu jake khale..mera acha bhai hey na?"
"mein khaunga per ek shart.."
"hein?khane mey bhi shart.."
"hmm mein yeahi khana leke ayunga aur aap bhi mere saath khaoge"
"Abhi..mein uth nahi paunga beta..bahut..acha tu le aya"
"aapko uthna nahi hey..aap aise hi raho mein khila dunga na" and he moved away
soon came back with a plate and tearing the roti he forwarded it to Abhijeet..
A very content smile came on Abhijeet's lips..as if he is feeling this the happiest moment in his 17years of life
today Abhinash can feel this smile much same to that..
He too got a peace inside
.
.
.
The rest of the day passed uneventfully..aftr dinner Abhijeet got up "tum aram se so jao..kal subha ajaunga aur nurse hogi yeaha thora bhi prob ho to bula lena khud hoshiyari mat dikhana"
"aap 8baje taq ajaoge na?"
unintentionally Abhijeet said "kyun James ki smne ayu to tumhe embarrassment..."
but he stopped seeing Abhinash's eyes
Abhinash closes his eyes "kuch cheezo ke liye mauka nahi milta.."
Abhijeet felt angry on himself, why he is again popping up these issues..
He sighed and patted Abhinash head softly "ajaunga kal..8 baje se pehle.."
and moved out..
Abhinash sighed deeply trying to sleep..
Abhijeet walked out of the hospital
he was walking towards the cab stand..
"kal uske test wagera ho jaye fir doctor se shifting ki baat krni hogi per Abhi is baat ko kaise lega.."
suddenly he remember something "kal sahab ki hulia ka kuch krna hoga..unshaven look se to bara chir hey..pata nahi kaha ka sehzada banne ki irade se aya tha.."
he hired a cab and moved to house
here in Mumbai Daya looked around the house and then moved to Abhijeet's room
pulled down a packed carton from the
and opened it
these are the photos and memories Abhijeet brought from Bangalore aftr his transfer
Daya started fetching things in it
he smiled imagining the content smile over Abhijeet's face aftr sorting out this tug of war within himself
.
.
.
Abhinash's sleep broke feeling a soft hand pressing his head
he frowned and moved his head
Abhijeet smiled "Abhi..8 bajne wale hey na?"
but Abhinash just gave a nod
"beta James milne ayega na aj?fresh nahi hona usse pehle?"
now Abhinash opened his eyes "oh no..mere dimaag se nikal kiya tha..mein"
he tried to get up..
Abhijeet restricted him "umm..baitho..nurse ati hi hogi..aur.."
he noticed Abhinash touching his cheeks..
Abhijeet jerked his head and kept a bag on the table
"yea?"
Abhijeet didn't reply but pulled out a beard trimmer
the nurse also came in "sir wo DR. Srivastav ko freshen up hona hey.."
Abhijeet nodded "aap rakh dijiye mein dekh lunga.."
Abhinash looked down and aftr nurse left said "mein kr lunga..aap jaiye.."
Abhijeet gave a look and moved back to couch
Abhinash tried but being a right handed man he is not so used with the left hand so left the try..
Abhijeet who was studying his effort said "aab already 7:30 baj chuke hey thora aur koshis krna hey?"
Abhinash looked down, Abhijeet came forward and made him lean back.. Started his job, he was applying the shaving foam on his face "arey... jaldi kar beta... skul ko dair ho jaye gi..."
Abhijeet who was sitting at breakfast looked at the closed door and shook his head , then said while standing up "maa me dekhta hun..."
"han ja k dekh na zara .. ye larka aaj bhi dair karwaye ga,,,"
Abhijeet at first knock the door but then he entered in side. There he found Abhinash sleeping in sitting posture with the toothbrush in his hand and toothpaste was stick around his mouth . he irritated move forward and shake him.
"utho...Abhi... skul jana hai na.. utho jaldi.."
" bhaiyya soney do na.. bas panch minute..."
Abhijeet grabbed his arm and shake him again "utho,.. nahi to late ho jao ge..."
" unnnn..."Abhinash slightly opened his eyes but closed again.
now Abhijeet made him stand force fully and him in washroom. He opened the tap and cleaned his mouth . Abhinash was continuously "uhunnn.. soney do na plz.. muje nai jana plz"
but Abhijeet started applying soap on his face . He hold Abhijeet's hand in order to stop him
Abhinash hold Abhijeet's hand . He looked at him . Abhinash immediately left his hand with "sorry"
Abhijeet managed to speak "sahi se betho thori dair..."
aftr ending Abhijeet gave Abhinash a praising look "lo aab thik?"
Abhinash is looking down looking embarrassed
Abhijeet was about to say something but his phone rang and seeing the caller id he just said "Abhie aya", received the call with "hello sir.."
and moved out
Abhinash sat in bit more comfortable position and soon his wait ended with the sound of the boots
.
.
.
Aftr ending the call Abhijeet moved towards Abhinash room but stopped at the door..a strange hesitation is forming in his mind..
If James is still in will Abhinash like his entry?
He can get uncomfortable with his presence isn't it so? then..
Abhijeet was about to turn when heard a tired call of "bhaiyaa"
Abhijeet entered inside with bit fast step
Abhinash is lying on bed closing his eyes..
"pata hey James ne mujhe ek document sign krne ko diya aur light bhi on kr diya..use pata chal gaya DR.. Abhinash aab khud ek patient hey dusro ka kya dawa nikalenge.."
"kuch kaha usne yea apne aap tum bakwas krne lage?"
hearing the stern tone Abhinash didn't carry on but sighed
soon Doctor enters Abhinash room with his reports
Abhinash is lying with close eyes and Abhijeet was sitting on couch working in tab
Abhijeet noticed doctor and got up "haa doctor reports kya kehta hey?"
Abhinash too opened his eyes
"DR. Srivastav ko mild traumatic brain injury hua hey iss scan ki mutabik unki optic nerves pey bhi asar hua hey..per hume kuch aur test krna hey spcly unki eyes ki wo yea jo light se problem face kr rahe iss bareme exact reason ki pata krne ke liye"
Abhijeet nodded "haa to test kijiye"
"hume iskiliye pure dark room mey unki ankho mey roshni.."
Abhinash interrupted "per doctor mein to ankh roshni mey khol hi nahi paraha fir?"
"I knew doctor per aap bhi jante hey kuch test mey willpower bhi matter krta hey.."
Abhinash is looking too restless..but didn't reply
Abhijeet noticed him "aap ready kijiye test ka sab.."
doctor nodded and was About to move but stopped "aap iss sab test ki bad DR. Srivastav ko shift kr skte hey bahar ambulance ready hey"
Abhijeet smiled
aftr doctor left Abhinash said in meek tone "shift?"
"hmm..Mumbai mey"
"haan aapki duty mey bahut prob.."
Abhijeet sighed..he really don't knew when this wall between them will fall
aftr about half an hour the nurse came with two ward boys and a wheelchair
ward boys came with wheel chair and hold Abhinash . He glance at the wheel chair. A strange expression came in his eyes. Abhijeet wants to .. but then he pulled himself back. Abhinash noticed well the gestures of his bhaiya.. but didn't show any reaction and silently sat on wheel chair. Ward boy move ahead to hold the handle but.. Abhijeet goes at the back and hold the wheel chair and slowly started pushing it forward
Abhinash looked back at Abhijeet who was already looking at him said softly "thik se baitho..bahar light bhi hoga.."
Abhinash sat in comfortable position and closed his eyes
They reached the examination room and he was shifted to exam chair
Abhijeet was about to move out but heard "b..bhaiya..aap rukenge?mtlb..wo.."
Abhijeet came near and nodded, then looked at doctor who assured him
Abhinash looked around..totally dark room, he felt his heartbeat increasing…soon the examination started
Abhinash who was leaning back on chair with closed eyes heard the doctor as
"aab apni ankhein... dheere dheere kho liye..."
Abhinash started opening his eyes but then he move his hand here and there to grab something fr support when felt a soft grip on his shoulder.
DR. said "DR. Abhinash... open your eyes..."
Abhinash opened his eyes slowly and a bright light welcomed him. He covered his eyes with : nai.. DR. looked at Abhijeet who nodded and said "ankhein khol lo.. kuch nahi ho ga..."
Abhinash removed his hand from his eyes and .. Again a bright light ... now he shook his head "ahh pls doctor nahi ho raha hey"
Abhijeet who was standing at the back now came in front of Abhinash and said while removing his hand from eyes.
"kuch nahi hua... dekho.. bas chota sa test hai..kuch nahi.. "
Abhinash opened his eyes slowly Abhijeet stood aside and grabbed his palm Abhinash averted his gaze from light to him he nodded. Abhinash again turned to the light Doctor started examining . After just one minute Abhinash again shook his head with "nahi... jalan ..ho rahi hai.. sar mein dard ..bhaiya,... Abhijeet patted his head softly : beta bas.. kuch nahi hua... bas thori dair... bhaiya.. ye roshni..."
"dekh bas do mint or.."
he was patting his back
Aftr two three seconds Abhinash grabbed his head with "ahhhh"
Abhijeet looked at doctor then pressed his shoulder "Abhi.."
"sarr mey dard..ahh..light.."
doctor hurriedly turned off the lights then turned to Abhijeet who was ruffling Abhinash's hair and said "aap aiye zara..."
Abhinash slowly looked up "bh..aiya.."
"mein abhie ata hu..hmm?"
he nodded and again closed his eyes leaning back feeling exhausted
"dekhiye DR. Srivastav ki yea complain photophobia ki wajase hey"
"photophobia?yea.."
"bright light se problm hoti hey..unki brain injury se yea problm suru hua..visual impact.."
"iski mtlb treatment to hey na?"

Abhijeet relaxed
"bt officer tab taq aankh ko jitna ho sake rest.."
"jee jarur.."
"aur haath ki aur ankle ki fracture ko bhi time lagega.."
"haa wo to..lagna hi hey"
the doctor gave an assuring nod and moved
here nurse brought out the wheelchair with Abhinash
Abhinash closed his eyes very tightly to avoid the light which causes a pain in his head. Abhijeet who was coming towards the examination room move forward and said "ankhein dheere se band karo.. nahi to or dard ho ga.. Abhinash only utters "jee..."
he closed his eyes and leaned back on chair. and they move to parking lot . Abhijeet placed the medicine bag on back seat, ward boys helped Abhinash to get in ambulance..Abhinash bit his lips feeling a pressure on his limbs..Abhijeet softly grabbed his hand with "payer pey pressure mat dalo.."
Sensing the touch a tear Drop rolled down Abhinash's eyes. Abhijeet wipe his own tear and settle in the car.
After some minutes he glance at Abhinash and found him sitting with restlessness on his face
Abhijeet bit his lip and then signaled the Driver and ward boy about the radio
the song started
YUN HI CHALA CHAL RAHI
YUN HI CHALA CHAL RAHI
KITNI HASEEN HAI YE DUNIYA...
CHOR SAREY JHAMELEY
DEKH PHOOLON K MELEY
BARI RANGIN HAI YE DUNIYA..
after sometime it became a duet because Abhinash also started humming.
YE RAASTA HAI KEH RAHA AB MUJH SE..
MILNEY KO HAI KOI KAHIN AB TUJH SE.
After some seconds Abhinash felt the other voice no more so automatically stopped.
Abhijeet said "ab kafi acha ga lete ho..."
Abhinash replies forgetting present "pehle bhi gata tha aap ko smjh nahi ata tha.."
"pehle itna acha nahi gatey they na..."
"ap to bohat acha gatey they na jese...?"
"At least koi darr k neend se uth nahi jata tha.."
"Wo ek accident tha.."
"Acha?"
Abhinash jerked his head making a face
then again leaned back feeling smiley glances from the ward boy..but then feeling a total silence he slightly open his eye and looked at Abhijeet who was staring at him.
seeing his attention there , Abhijeet Averted his gaze to the road
