Daya took a small change in his position, tried to be more comfortable. He firmly held the hands of his half soul who was waiting for him to start but also giving time to him. Daya nodded to himself and called upon his old, harsh and dark memories;
Flashback
When Daya jumped on the bed to sleep, a phone call disturbed him. He frowned a bit but attended the call answering in a sleepy voice as : Hello? Kaun hai?
His sleepy tone suddenly turned into an alert one hearing, "Daya beta, aapke dad ghar par hai kya?". It was Salunkhe sir on the other side. His voice seemed a bit tensed and worried. Daya answered in utter confusion as : Jee uncle hai vo magar kyun? Kya hua? (in soft tone) Aap kuch pareshan lag rahe hai.
Not to make that angel worried Dr. Salunkhe tries to give out a fake laugh saying : Nahi beta aisa kuch nahi hai. Vo toh bas Pradyuman ka phone nahi lag raha na zaruri baat karni thi mujhe usse. Kya aap please apne papa ko phone de sakte hai?
Daya in a happy, cheerful tone replied : Of course uncle, mai abhi deta hun. Ek minute hold kijiye. (He got down from his bed and hurried towards his dad's room. He knocked it twice, then opened it. His dad was sleeping on his respective bed looking a bit tired. A small smile came on Daya's lips. He knew that his father's work is really not easy, it makes him tired sometimes but now he had to wake him up.)
He moved forward with steady steps and shook his father calling him, "Dad uthiye, aapke liye Salunkhe uncle ka phone hai."
It didn't take much time for the sleeping figure to get up. He sat straight on his bed and looked at Daya asking by eyes, what's the matter. Daya just forwarded him the phone and he took it with a bit confusion answering : Hello?
Daya really didn't knew what latter answered. He could just see the calm face in front on him getting tensed, worried and anxious by time. Seeing him worried Daya got more attentive. Finally answering "theek hai mai ata hun, tu fiqar na kar", the call was cut. ACP sir got up from his bed as soon as the call was cut. He took his formal clothes and moved towards the bathroom to change his attire.
While he was doing all this, he forgot to close the cupboard and a bag from the upper case fell down. ACP sir didn't noticed it as he was already in but someone else did for sure.
Daya noticed it and opened it. A file was there inside it. He rolled upon his eyes over the bathroom door and opened the files. His eyes went wide and shock covered his face. Tears made their way on his face but he cleared them harshly listening to door opening sound.
He went towards the drawer to take the needed things like cell phone, wallet, etc. When he opened the drawer a bag fell from the upper case. ACP sir, because of his hurry was unaware of it.
Even after taking all he was searching for something but couldn't get it. He was going to open the cupboard when heard : Kya hua hai dad? What's the matter?
ACP sir turned back to him and giving him a firm look covered up : Kuch nahi hua hai. Bas ek case aai hai issliye.. (However his sentence was interrupted by Daya's angry words)
"Mujhe nahi lagta ki yeh koi case hai dad. It's something serious and I know what it is."
ACP sir looked at him in shock first but then wrapped up his emotions, again making them firm : Daya, I'm in try to find something. Please apne room mein jao aur soo jao. You know nothing. Tumhe kuch bhi nahi malum hai.
Some tears escaped from Daya's eyes. He placed a file on the table. ACP sir noticed that he was holding it behind in both of his hands. Then a fear passed through him learning that it was the same file. The same one which he was searching and the same one which contained so many things in it.
His eyes were fixed on the file but then Daya's voice took his attention. A soggy yet angry voice : Shayad aap yahi dhundh rahe hai. (stressing the words and making them more meaningful) Hai na Dad?
Some words escaped from ACP sir's mouth as : Daya tum yeh.. kaise?
But instead, he heard a broken tone of his hurt son : Aap.. aap itna bada sach.. Kaise.. kaise chupa sakte hai dad.. (He was angry, he was hurt, but more than that he was afraid. He was very afraid to loose a person, very close to his heart. His sinuses increased but still the figure in front of him was num. Not a single word escaped from later's mouth. Somewhere it increased Daya's anger. He blabbered again, " Dad, mujhe lagta hai ki mai aapse baat kar raha hun")
ACP sir looked at him. He took that file from the table and started moving out whispering : Chalo mere saath.
Daya starred at him going out of room, then he too followed him. His heart was already engulfed in a great fear. He was trying to be normal or was just pretending to be. What he was feeling at that time was the only thing he knew.
ACP sir removed his car from the parking place and signalled Daya to sit inside. Daya did as per said and ACP sir accelerated the car towards the hospital.
Present time
Words choked inside his throat now. He needed a long breathe to be taken. Unintentionally his eyes fell on the silent figure sitting in front of him. As Abhijeet noticed Daya's stare over him, he caught the courage to ask him about the file. Hesitant at first he asked Daya in a shaky tone afterwards : Kya, tha.. (Daya made himself more attentive but the incomplete sentence really didn't made any sense. Abhijeet knew this so tried to complete it with) Uss file mein?
Daya knew this query would rise. He just turned his gaze away. Abhijeet was in try to study his reaction and now he knew it was something bad. He placed his own hand on Daya's softly calling out his name as " Daya". Daya looked at Abhijeet in pain. Abhijeet, with that injured hand, just pressed it a lightly encouraging Daya a bit : Mom ko .. (gulping down his emotions he finally spoke) Mom ko cancer tha Abhi. ( He felt like a big burden got off his shoulders but his heartbeats started increasing when felt the soft grip over his hand also getting off. He looked at Abhijeet with shock in his eyes. Abhijeet was looking blank for the time being.)
"Abhi?", a small whisper came out from Daya's mouth raising Abhijeet's head. His eyes were teary and flashing lots of emotions in them.
Daya just gave time to him to relax. After taking up and grasping everything as well after giving sometime for himself, Abhijeet whispered a very low "Sorry" to Daya. Daya looked at him in confusion but Abhijeet just neglected it. Daya too didn't take it far : Ek mahina pehle hi diagnose hua tha but they didn't tell us. They didn't let us know anything.
"Kyun? Kiisliye yeh sab? Kyun nahi bataya unhone hume aur jab tumhe pata chala tab tumne kyun nahi bataya mujhe?", Abhijeet let it out helplessly. His queries were not wrong either. Maybe both knew this.
"Lend me sometime, can you?", Daya starred at his hands blankly. Abhijeet observed that he was getting into his dark shade again. A silent ride in a dark pit.
"5 minutes", Daya looked up and found Abhijeet standing up. He gave a questioning look to Abhijeet who just answered calmly. " Mujhe bhi waqt chahiye but (stressing the words) Just 5 minutes", and he moved out to go.
A/N So how was it? Better then previous chaps? Asking because I'm really sick at creating emotions.
Please do R and R guys and wish me luck so that I can complete my other chaps as fast as possible ; )
Bye guys, take care, Janhvi.
