On the way to home, Abhijeet was driving and Daya was sitting on the passenger seat. Daya was looking outside for sometime now. Suddenly he said to Abhijeet.
Daya: Abhi chalo yaar beach pr chaltay hain. (Sadly) kitna time ho gya hai samundar kinary gaye huye… maine bht miss kiya hai samundar ko…
Abhijeet whilst focusing on the road: nhi Daya abhi nhi… wesy bhi abhi abhi plaster utra hai or zakham hai abhi tumharay samundar ki hawa achi nhi hai tumharay liye.
Daya in an earnest way: please na yaar bs thori dair k liye…
Abhijeet in an uncompromising manner: Daya tumhari back ki chot abhi tak theek nai hui na… abhi bhi dard hai na… bs maine keh dia koi nhi ja raha mtlb koi nhi ja rha…And That's final.
Daya with a dejected face: Tum yahi krty ho humesha mere sath… kiya ho jaye ga agar hum pandrah minute k liye chaly jaye gay… itni dair k liye jany mai kiya burai hai… lekin kya karain log samjhty he nhi hain (said while eyeing Abhijeet).
Abhijeet gave in after emotional blackmailing: Acha sirf pandrah minute k liye or pandarway sy sohlwaa minute na lagy…
Daya with a glowing face: done… sirf pandrah minute…
Abhijeet smiled looking at him. And he turned towards the beach.
Beach
Abhijeet parked the quaills in the parking and came towards Daya's door and helped him in coming out. He gave crutches to Daya and then they made their way in. Walking on the sand with crutches was difficult so Abhijeet was giving full support to him. Abhijeet made him seat on a rock.
Daya stared the waves for a while and then said: maine iss sakoon bhary ehsas ko bht miss kiya…
Abhijeet, who was focusing Daya's face said in a trance: or maine tumhe…
Daya in pain held his hand: bht pareshan kiya na maine… I'm Sorry…
Abhijeet in hurt just hugged him while trying not to cry: nhi bilkul nhi… lekin maine tjhe bht miss kiya jb tu itny din wapas nai aya… (crying with low voice) mai apny apko bilkul akela mehsoos kr rha tha… sb k sath hoty huye bhi khud ko akela mehsoos krta tha… jb tera kuch pata nai lg raha tha to mai bht dar gya tha… uper se wo bury khwaab… pata nhi kese lekin mjhe pata lag gya tha k tu kisi mushkil mai hai… mera dil kehta tha k tu theek nhi hai… mera dil janta tha k meri jaan theek nhi hai…(sobbing) lekin mai itna majboor tha k chah kr bhi tere pass nhi a paa raha tha… mai bht dar gaya tha… bht dar gya tha… bht ziada…
Daya tightened his grip, he tried to make Abhijeet feel his presence: ab mai a gaya na ab sb theek ho jaye ga...
Abhijeet cried out loud, pouring all the pain out: mai kiya krta agar tu wapas na aata… mai to akela reh jata na… maine us waqt teri wapsi ki bht dua'ain mangi thein… mai roz bhagwaan sy kehta tha k please bs mjhe Daya wapis kr do mai or kabhi kuch nai mangun ga… (Daya was giving Abhijeet enough time to release all the pain he bore in those days) Pata hai mjhe us dauran maloom hua k tu yahan beach pr q aata tha… sach mai Daya yeh jagah bht sakoon deti hai… (stared at the waves watching over Daya's shoulder) yeh lehrain waqaiye bht sakoon deti hain… jb bhi farigh hota tha yahan a jaya krta tha or apna sara dard in lehron sy banta tha… esa lagta tha k sach mai yeh lehrain mera dukh ly kr uske badly mai sakoon deti thi… lekin yeh lehrain bhi mjhe wo sakoon nhi dy saki jo teri mojudgi sy milta hai mjhe… tera saath sb sy ziada sakoon deta hai mjhe… tu promise kr k kabhi bhi dubara mjhe chor kr nhi jaye ga… promise kr…
Daya too in tears: Promise… pakka promise… kabhi nhi jaun ga tumhe chor kr… maine bhi tumhe bht miss kiya… waha pr hr waqt bs tumhara he khayal tha meray man mai… tumhara pyar, care, daant, laad… sb bht yaad kiya... Mjhe lagny laga tha k ab mai kabhi tumhe dekh nhi paun ga… kabhi tumhari awaz sun nahi saku ga… lekin tum a gaye… tum aye or mjhe ly aye us jahanum sy… maine to umeed chor di thi jeeny ki lekin tumne uss umeed ko dobara ujagar (resurface) kiya… iss liye ab tum bhi bhool jao wo sb… maine iss sb sy seekha hai k jo hona hota hai wo ho kr he rehta hai… lekin us sb ka samna hum kesy krty hai yeh sbsy eham hai… ab jo waqt guzar gaya wo guzar gaya… ab please tum wo sb baar baar mt yaad karo… mai nhi chata k us sb ki wajah sy tumhe takleef ho… so please ab no mor rona dhona… (smilingly) or wese bhi roty huye tum bilkul achy nhi lagty… bs sirf hasty huye he lagty ho…
Abhijeet smiled a little bit: lekin tum to mjhe hr hal mai he achy lagty ho… meri jaan…
Daya innocently: wo to mai hu he cute… iss liye hr hal mai acha he lagta hun…
Abhijeet angrily: kiya mtlb hai tera k mai cute nhi hun…
Daya: nhi abhi tum utny cute nhi jitna mai hun… bs thory cute ho…
Abhijeet separated him from hug and stood up: chalo utho or ghar chalo… bs bht ho gaya…
Daya shockingly: lekin abhi to aye hain na…
Abhijeet: nhi abhi chalo… bs bht ho gaya…
Daya: Abhiiiiii tum mere achy waly bhai nhi ho haan…
Abhijeet: abhi to tumne kaha hai k mai ziada acha nhi hun to bs…
Daya sighed: tum waqai mery jitny achy nhi ho… chalo chalain… warna tum taany maar maar kr he mjhe maar dogy… hunh…
And they went towards home with smiles and sooth in hearts.
After 10 days Daya started torturing Abhijeet for going to the Bureau. Finally Abhijeet saved himself from the so-called torture by allowing him to come. But on various conditions like no darwaza torna, piano bajana, exertion, excessive use of body etc. Which Daya listened from one ear and out from other saying "jesa tum kaho, bs mjhe aik baar Bureau jany do, baki mai sb khud dekh lun ga". Abhijeet took a deep breath listening to his answer. On first day Daya was welcomed warm heartedly, a cake was arranged for a small celebration with the people who loved and missed him a lot.
ACP Sir hugged him tightly with tears in his eyes: Welcome beta… welcome… bht yaad kiya in diwaro ny tumhe… or in diwaro mai rehny walon ny bhi… or iss burhy baap ny bhi… iss baap ki aankhon ki thandak ho tum log, jb bhi tum log kisi musibat mai hoty ho to sb sy ziada aanso yahi aankhain bahati hain… sbsy ziada yahi dil pareshan hota hai… haan tumharay uss bhai sy thora kam lekin tum sy yeh baap bhi bht muhabbat krta hai…
Daya with tears: or iss bety ny bhi apny baap ko bht miss kiya… or iss chaar diwari ko bhi… or yeh beta bhi aap sy bht muhabbat krta hai…
They separated, and then everyone met him with happiness and tears. Freddie cried the most as he missed him a lot, also told him that Abhijeet scolded him a lot in those days. Daya glared Abhijeet on this and asked him to apologize to Freddie for being angry at him unnecessarily. Forensic Doctors also joined them. They cut the cake and enjoyed that little moment of happiness. At that moment he realized that his past does not matter now, as may be he would not have these lovely people if his past didn't go the way it did. Sometimes you must forgo what happened in the past, to fully live the present.
You can't be happy unless you're unhappy sometimes
