" aur ye le, mein jeeta. aur paise nikaal mere" A middle aged man shouted in happiness while ordering the other person in front of him to take out his money that he won

" Cheating karta hai tu, mujhe nahi khelna tere saath, nikal yaha se, koi paisa waisa nahi de raha mein" The other person shouted in loud harsh tone at the middle aged man

" paisa to tujhe dena hi hoga. samjha tu, ye koi bacchon ka khel to hai nahi. juaa (gamble) hai ye juaa. agar jua khelne ka itna hi tujhe shauk hai na to bhoola mat kar ke jo haarta hai us ko to paisa dena hi parta hai chahe jo bhi ho jaaye. samjha tu ya samjhaana abhi baaki hai?" Middle aged man reminded other person, that he has to give the money, no matter what happens and gambling is not a play of kids.

" intezaar kar tu, karta hun intezaam paise ka" Other person stood to move from there in tensed tone when he heard another teasing comnent from middle aged man " zara jaldi intezaam karna, mujhe tujh jese log pasand nahi jo apne paise ko mahine mahine late kar deta hai"

" zyaada bhonk na tu, mein koi gira guzra nahi hun. mun pe maarun ga paise tere" Other person went away from there in anger

That person was walking in his street while murmurming in extreme tensed tone " ye ho kya raha hai apun ke saath, itna paisa, itna paisa ja raha hai haathon se paani ki tarhaan beh kar. pehle to mein jue ( gambling) ka badshah hua karta tha aur ab maloom nahi ho kya raha hai, itna nuksaan kyun ho raha hai apun ko, apun ki kismat itni kharaab kyun hoti ja rahi hai, aik kar ke aik sab samaan ghar ke bikta ja raha hai. ab pata nahi kis ki baari hai"

he entered in his small house which needs to be repaired and silently entered into his room when heard a innocent voice

" abbaa"

he gave a irritating look to that innocent 10 year old kid and locked his room door

tears came in 10 year old boy's eyes

" Abhijeet utho" Daya was trying to wake Abhijeet who was laying on his bed in uncomfortable way and his body was shaking and he was murmuring something that Daya was not able to understand

After long try of Daya of waking up Abhijeet, Abhijeet finally woke and found himself laying on bed in a uncomfortable way and saw Daya infront of him looking at him with true real and pure concern and just then that dream came in his mind that he just saw in his sleep. that dream was mysterious? that dream was kind off related to the imagination that he had in the toy shop in shopping mall yesterday. how were those two related? he was trying to make a connection in his mind. his mind was stuck with that dream and that imagination. for once, he thought to ignore that imagination that he had but now when he had this dream, everything was getting really mysterious and this dream was far away from disappearing from his mind. he was so engrossed in his thoughts and, making connections, to what that things can mean but the more he was trying to get into the matter and try to figure out things, the more his brain was getting irritated, and annoyed. Daya was just staring at Abhijeet. he was quite sure by now that something really bad has happened with Abhijeet and it may even happen again. Abhijeet noticed those eyes of Daya which were staring Abhijeet. Abhijeet tried to ignore eye connection with Daya but how can he be saved from Daya's never ending questions who started to care for Abhijeet a lot and there was concern in Daya's eyes

" Abhijeet, kya hua tumhe? tum theek to ho na" Daya asked with pure true concern for Abhijeet

" pata nahi Daya. kuch bhi theek nahi lag raha. bohat hi ajeeb sa mehsoos ho raha hai. sar mein bhi shadeed dard ho rahi hai" Abhijeet said confused about everything

" tumhe to itna tez bukhaar bhi hai Abhijeet" Daya told Abhijeet as soon as he figured out that Abhijeet has fever by placing his hand on Abhijeet's forehead. his tone was not only concerned, his tone was worried and tensed too

Abhijeet took his arm to his forehead and felt with his hand that true, yea he had a fever, his forehead was hot. that was killing him. those dreams and mysterious imaginations, this headache and now this fever was also killing him.

" Abhijeet, mein doctor ko bulaata hun call ker ke, tum yahin pe chup chaap lete raho, hilna mat yahan se" Daya gave strict instructions to Abhijeet

" Daya, mein theek hun. bilkul fit hun. kuch nahi hua mujhe. bas halka sa bukhaar hi to hai. doctor ko bulaane ki kya zaroorat hai?" Abhijeet tried to insist

" Abhijeet, mere saath behas na karo. tumhaari tabiyat bilkul theek nahi hai. tumhaari haalat to aisi hai ke mujhe ambulance mangwaani chahiye but tum pe reham kha kar sirf doctor ko ghar hi bula raha hun, tumhe hospital admit karaane nahi ja raha. mera ahsaan yaad rakho" Daya tried to tease Abhijeet by the name of hospital. In these days, Daya got to know that Abhijeet hates to visit hospital and stay admitted there

" bohat shareer ho gaye ho tum, jaan li meri kamzori itni jaldi?" Abhijeet asked with a friendly smile

" haan, jaan li ap ki kamzori jo ke hai hospital se nafrat. now, you are in my control" Daya laughed in friendly tone trying to make a change in Abhijeet's mood and health

" bohat jaldi jaan gaye tum mujhe" Abhijeet said with a smile

" mein hun itna tez" Daya said with over efficiency with pure smile which disappeared Abhijeet's all tensions in a second and pure smile appeared on his face
