THE STORY:

Tarika was busy with her phone when Acp sir came to her..

"Tarika"..

"aare sir aap.. mai khud hi jati aapke pas.. Salunkhe sir abhi bhi tests kar rehe hai.. report aayi nehi abhi tak.."

"nehi.. mai kuch aur kehene aaya tha"..

Acp sir was serious.. his facial expression was telling that..

"kya baat hai sir?"

"Tarika.. tum aur Abhijeet to ek hi appartment mei rehete ho na? to.. tumhe kuch maloom hai uske bare mei.."

"nehi sir.. infact mai to aapse puchne wali thi yeh baat.. Abhijeet aapne ghar par nehi hai.. aur usko to mai bureau mei bhi nehi dekh rahi hu kuch dino se.."

"Tarika, Abhijeet ne resignation letter de kar gaya haai mujhe.."

"kya! kya bol rehe hai sir aap.. mujhe to kuch bhi nehi maloom.."

"hmm.. maine kisiko bataya bhi nehi abhi tak.. sabko kaha hai ki woh chutti par hai.. Abhijeet phone bhi utha raha hai mera.. "

Both were tensed..

"achha Abhijeet ka bhai.. woh aa"

"Daya"

"haa haa Daya.. use pucha hai?"

Tarika knew everything about Daya.. but she did want to tell that to Acp sir.. so she said.. "no sir.. actually woh.. out of city hai.. "

"woh achha.. "

suddenly Acp sir remembered something..

"to Abhijeet sayed aapne bhai ke pas hi gaya hai.." he smiled.

Tarika too became happy.. but then she realized it was not so.. she thought "nehi.. agar aisa hota to Daya to mujhse keheta na.. "

"aisa hi hai sayed hai na Tarika?"

Tarika looked at him.. "haa.. aisa hi hua hoga.."

"achha Abhijeet ke sath agar tumhara koi contact hota hai to use kehena ki please woh mujhse contact kare.. kam se kam mai jab phone karu, woh phone uthaye.. bohot jaroori baat karni hai mujhe uske sath.. bewakoofi karke gaya hai woh.. abhi bhi waqt hai.. so please.."

"yes sir.. mai try karungi.. matlab agar uske sath mera contact ho to.."

Acp sir smiled.. and bade her bye..

Tarika was in thought.. "Abhijeet gaya to gaya kaha? Daya ke pas to nehi gaya.. phir? Daya har din puchta hai aapne bhai ke bare mei, to mai to keheti hu ki mujhe nehi pata.. par kab tak.. Daya se bach pana mushkil hai.. aur bechara Gopal.. woh bechara phans gaya hai in dono pagal bhaiyo ke bich... (she became angry) .. aur yeh Shreya.. bohot di di kar rahi thi.. aur jab uski jaroorat hai mujhe.. tab uska koi ata pata nehi.. damn it.. phone kar bhi nehi rahi.. utha bhi nehi rahi.. are jhagra tera Daya se hua.. mere sath kya.. huh.. pagal larki.. sabke sab pagal hai.."

she was thinikng all these.. That time her Phone Rang..

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

"Tarika didi tum?"

"haa mai.. bas dekhne aa gayi ki aapne ghar chor kar kaise khushi se zindegi bita rehe ho tum.." she told teasingly.. "kyu nehi aa sakti?"

"aare.. bilkul aa sakti ho.. aao.. aao anadar aao.."

Daya held her hand gently and pulled her.. he pulled a chair and told her to sit.. "yaha baitho.. "

Tarika sat there..

"yeh hai mera ghar"

Tarika looked at him.. but did not say anything..

Daya came and sat in front of her on the floor..

"aa.. to batao.. kaisi ho? sab thik hai?"

"haa.. mai thik hu.. actuaaly bohot achhi hu.."

"Oo.." Daya smiled.. it was clear that he was trying to say something but hesitating..

"kuch kehena chahte ho Daya?"

"haa.. mai? nehi.. wo mai keh raha tha ki. wo"

"har din to phone par puchte ho aapne bhaiya ke bare mei.. aaj samne hu mai.. phir puchne se kyu hesitate kar rehe ho?"

Daya stood up..

"bhaiya thik to hai na Di?"

Tarika too stood up.. "tumhe kya lagta hai?"

Daya was silent for some moment..

"bhaiya ne ekbar mujhe phone bhi nehi kia di.." he was complaining like a child.. "pucha bhi nehi kaisa hu.. kaha hu.."

"puchne ki halat mei hoga woh tab na puchega" she uttered..

"kya kaha aapne?" Daya asked..

"haa? nehi kuch nehi.. tumne bhi to call nehi kia na.."

Daya looked down.. "nehi karunga.. kyu karu? unhone bhi nehi kia.. mai bhi nehi karunga.. "

"galati kiski thi?"

"Bhaiya ki.." he was still complaining like a stubborn kid..

"achha.. bhaiya ki?"

"aaa.. haa.. thik hai.. thora thora mera bhi.."

"bas thora thora?" Tarika asked..

"aur nehi to kya? bhaiya ne hi to shuru kia na.. kaha ki Daya aaj tujhe aapne kandhe se utar raha hu.. achha hai.. bojh tha mai.. utar gaya mai.. khud hi"

"Daya.. tum yeh soch bhi kaise sakte ho? tumhe sach much aisa lagta hai ki tum aapne bhai pe bojh the?"

"pata nehi.. kya sach hai kya jhoot hai.. kuch maloom nehi.. par maine jo dekha.. jo suna.. woh to galat nehi hai na.. thora thora karke bhaiya mujhse dur hote geye.. mai chota hu.. mai darr raha tha unse baat karne se.. par woh to aa sakte the na? par nehi.. ek sath khana khana bandh kar dia.. chai pina bandh kar dia.. ek table par baithna bandh kr dia.. upar se room door mei lock lagane ko bhi bol dia Gopal se.. kyu kia yeh sab bhaiya ne?"

"Daya.. tum to aapne bhaiya ko jante ho na?" she said softly..

"bhaiya bhi to mujhe jante hai na? ek bar.. ek bar aa kar to dekhte bhaiya mere pas.. par nehi.. unhe to bas aapna gussa dikhana tha.. thik hai.. dikhaye woh aapna gussa.. mai bhi dikhaunga mera gussa.."

Tarika was frustrated.. "aareee tum dono bachheee ho kyaaaa?"

Daya didn't respond..

"for god sake Daya.. band karo yeh sab abhi.. jao aapne Abhijeet ke pas.. milo usse.. batein karo.. please.. sort your problem out yaar.."

but Daya was silent.. Tarika sighed..

" thik hai.. raho tum dono aapne aapne jid ko leke.. isse dusro ko bhi taqleef hoti hai yeh to tum dono ki samajh ke bahar hai na"

suddenly her fell down the table.. where the food was left untouched and covered..

"yeh kya hai?" she opened the covered.. she looked at Daya..

"wo Tarika di.. kya hua.. kl raat ka khana.. matlab parte parte late ho gaya.. wo exam hai samne.. to khane ka man nehi hua phir.."

"kal raat ka khana.. abhi tak yeh hai.. aaj raat ka khana khane ka time ho gaya almost.. aur yeh abhi tak yehi hai.."

Daya made a baby face..

Tarika shook her head.. "bahar ka khana hai?"

"haa.. wo khana pakane ka time nehi hai.."

"aise bol rehe ho jaise tumhe khana paka bohot achhi tarha se aata hai bas time nehi mil raha.."

Daya smiled..

"haso mat".. Daya immediately stopped smiling.. "isi liye.. isi liye Abhijeet tumpe gussa hota tha.. life mei koi system mante bhi ho tum? ". she scolded him..

"OMG! Tarika diii.. unbelievable.. tum to bilkul bhaiya ke baat kar rehe ho.. same tone.. same dialogue.. i mean how? Tarika di.. mujhe to samjh mei nehi aats ki tum dono mei jhagra hota kaise hai?".. Daya smiled mischievously..

Tarika came near to him and said in serious tone.. "Daya.. hum dono larte jhagarte to hai... par jab sawal tumhari aati hai.. to hum dono mei koi bhi compromise nehi karega.. na mai.. na woh tumhare khadoos bare bhai.."

She was about to leave.. when Daya asked eagerly..

"bhaiya mere bare mei kya ekbar bhi nehi puche aapse? "

Tarika looked at him.. he downed his eyes.. and said.. "khayal rakhna unka.."

Tarika smiled.. "jiska khayal tumne nehi rakhha.. usine tumhare bhai ka khayal rak raha hai.."

Daya looked at her confusingly.. "kya matlab!?

Tarika avoided the question and said

"raat ka khana le kar aaungi mei ghar se.. bahar se mat mangwana.. aur kahi bhag mat jana.. "

Daya smiled at this..

"muskura kyu rehe ho? bhagne ka irada hai kya?"

"nehi di.. kya aap bhi.. jab jaunga aapko bata kar jaunga"..

" kahi jane ka plan hai?"

"hmm.. ek short film ka shooting pe jana hai.. Shantiniketan.. Bengal"..

" hmm.. thik hai.. wait karna mera".. she went out..
