Sorry for being late guys.

Thank you so much to all the reviewers.


Daya was restless whole night though still he didn't knew how much times his buddy waking up from sleep sometimes in fear, hate or anger. Abhijeet's sleeping hours were much reduced but his tired body playing games with him as it always pulled him in sleep which resulted in nothing but more tiredness.

Daya was in his room the whole time thinking what would be his first step…

"mujhe Rajesh ko iss baare mein batana hoga…(confused) lekin kya bataun main usse….main abhijeet ka bharosa nahi todh sakta aur rajesh ko inn sabh mein include karne ka matlab hoga usse saari sachai batana…(placing his head in his palms tiredly) yeh sabh...lekin phir main rajesh ke kar bhi nahi paaunga…kissi ke paas bhi Harshil ke baare mein itni INFO nahi hai jitni isske paas hai…(in pain) lekin rajesh bahot sharminda hoga…woh already iss baat ke peeche haiki abhijeet ne usske liye itna sabh saha aur abh yeh sabh..(closing his eyes and resting his back on back rest, after few minutes he opened his eyes again and whispered while staring in darkness) mujhe pehle abhijeet ko bureau ke liye tayaar karna hoga chahe abh ACP sir ko baat karni padhe usse lekin abh usska mere saamne rehna jaroori hai…"

Taking a deep breath now daya looked towards the wall clock and seeing the time as 5.00 a.m he silently placed his head back with the bed's support and moved in a tensed sleep waiting for a new morning.

Daya woke up in around 1 and a half hour and after seeing time whispered while standing up and stretching his tiresome muscles…

"boss aaj iss jung ki nayi shuruwat hai..aur tumhe pehla kadam Bureau ki taraf badana hai…(with a smile) vijayi bhav…"

He moved to washroom after that to get fresh and to free his mind from everything as he knew he had a big task today to convince his buddy to join bureau.

Abhijeet was already awake as most of the night he either spent in painful dreams or in drinking water jugs. He freshened up and after that glanced towards his mobile but he had no courage to look at it so simply moved out to prepare breakfast.

Daya too came out of his room and looked at abhijeet and his red eyes but said nothing as now it was common for him to meet with friends reddish eyes which had no fire in them. Sighing daya prepared himself mentally and moved forward towards kitchen itself with…

"good morning boss…"

Abhijeet looked towards him and gave a dry smile which tried to look fresh and said…

"kya baat hai daya aaj jaldi uth gaye?"

Daya with small smile too though felt a high pain seeing that dry smile…

"haan yaar bas kuch adhure kaam niptane hain phir hi achi neend aayegi abh toh…"

Abhijeet nodded silently as he thought daya mentioning bureau. Daya started after few minutes…

"Abhijeet aaj bureau chalna hai…"

Abhijeet looked towards daya and rather getting angry now said in calm voice… "main mana kar chukka hun daya…"

Daya strongly… "pooch nahi bata rahan hun main abhijeet…"

Abhijeet firmly while setting dining table… "main tumhare orders follow karne ke liye bound nahi hun daya…"

Daya started in teasing tone now… "lekin ghar per khaali baith sakte ho apne haal per rote hua?"

A painfull line was stretched across abhijeet's eyes who didn't looked up but replied with same down head… "aisa kuch..kuch nahi hai daya…"

Daya strongly… "phir tum bhi ready ho jao…nikalte hain breakfast karke…"

Abhijeet in recent days mostly using casuals like pyjamas and t-shirts, daya can't get the reason but fo course since abhijeet living at home it's normal though daya knew abhijeet mostly preferred formals.

Abhijeet said in low tone… "daya main aaj nahi…."

Daya without reply moved inside while abhijeet looked up after feeling his absence with pain and fear in his eyes. Daya came out again within 4 minutes while talking to someone on phone, abhijeet immediately averted his gaze as daya looked towards him and again moved to kitchen. Here daya said on phone…

"jee sir aaj abhijeet aajayega..(stressing in loud tone) nahi sir aap mat aayein bekaar mein aapko takleef…(after few seconds of listening) sir woh maan gaya hai aap befikr rahe woh bas usski tabiyet kuch theek…(after few seconds again) jee sir hum log kuch der mein hi pohonch jaayenge…"

Daya kept back his phone with a wish that his plan works while abhijeet heaved a painful sigh.

Daya moved forward and sat on dining table while abhijeet too came after few minutes and both started eating. Daya felt so many times that abhijeet wanted to say something but hesitating and after receiving not a single from his buddy daya asked to him in straight tone… "Kya kehna hai?"

Abhijeet looked towards daya in shock and then whispered… "kuch nahi…bas…"

Daya had already finished his breakfast and seeing abhijeet taking his last bite said while getting up… "acha phir tum tayaar hojayo…hume nikalna hai bureau ke liye…"

Abhijeet looked towards daya but turned his gaze away and saidin low tone… "daya mujhe…mujhe nahi jana hai bureau…bekaar mere khaali baithne se…"

Daya strongly… "kyun? Investigation karna file work karna, koi kami nahi hai bureau mein kaam ki…phir khaali kaise…

Abhijeet irritated tone now… "daya please…tum meri baat samjho aur yeh zid chodh do tum…"

Daya firmly… "tum apni yeh bekaar ki zid chodh do meri apne aap hi choot jayegi…

Abhijeet(irriated in anger)- Daya…

Daya playing his last card… "sir ne aaj bulaya hai tumhe chalna ho toh chalo warna sir shayad khud hi gher per aajaye aaj…"

Abhijeet took a deep breath and after glancing towards daya left the place. After 15 minutes he be back while daya reading a file trying to hide his small smile because of his buddy's behavior. Abhijeet in complete silence was getting ready. He sat down on sofa to wear his shoes, daya saw him and again became engrossed in his file.

Daya didn't knew when those 10 minutes passed as he was busy in understanding the details of a case but when he looked up after those 10 minutes he found abhijeet in same position, daya confusingly looked down and a painful breath escaped from his mouth seeing his buddy sweating such profusely as he was not able to tie the knot of his shoe laces.

Taking a deep breath to provide his body some energy daya now moved forward towards abhijeet and effortlessly handed him the file with…

"yaar boss dekho zara yeh point mere toh palle padh nahi raha hai…tum dekho…"

Abhijeet took the file with his shivering hands while daya's pen fell down by mistake and daya bending down tied abhijeet's shoe laces with decency and again standing on his feet said in hurry… "chalo Abhijeet already late hogaya hai tum yeh point mujhe zara gaadi mein samjha dena…"

Abhijeet simply nodded engrossed in case and stood up without remembering that a few minutes back what his position was.

Daya's ears however reminded those distant words once again making him realise he indeed needed some expertise to handle his friend now…

"daya concentration problems bahot common hongi…baatein karte karte kho jana etc, usse uss waqt bahot softly handle karna hoga tumhe.."

Taking a deep breath daya now followed abhijeet who was already standing close to quallis nervously staring at the vehicle. Daya approached him and kept a hand on his shoulder which jerked abhijeet who turned towards him with….

"d..da..daya tum…"

Daya nodded and said… "betho…"

Abhijeet quietly sat inside the quallis while daya took the driver seat and now the quallis flowed in air.

After 20 minutes both arrived in front of the bureau building in complete silence as both were busy in their own thoughts and none of the two tried to initiate any conversation.

Daya got off while abhijeet still in same position feeling awkward and guilty as he still thought he was not made for this reputed place. Daya urged him to come out and abhijeet taking a deep breath came out of the car and made his way towards BUREAU with daya.

As the two entered inside the bureau, listening to the familiar foot steps the team turned to see their seniors arriving. A broad smile once again came on all the faces as they saw abhijeet and daya together after so long. Acp sir who had also turned to look at the entrance following the sudden silence fought with his urge to shed his tears of pain.

Somehow this time ACP PRADYUMAN was clearly not aware of his role in this situation when his one of the best officers or rather say his son was sexually harassed and was now going through all those miserable after effects. But acp sir could not help his anger, frustration and helplessness which had come out as an order for daya to bring back abhijeet.

A smile, though painful was present on ACP pradyuman's lips after seeing his two best officers entering inside the bureau together. Though he easily felt the tiredness, lack of confidence, uneasiness from abhijeet's body language who was just smiling fakely.

Acp sir sighed knowing this man too well. Though he appreciated this quality of abhijeet to easily hide his emotions behind the mask of his charming smile. But this quality of his many times had posed many problems for all of them as due to this it took them loads of efforts to even take out a small tinge of pain or hurt from abhijeet's heart.

Acp sir looked towards that smile again and whispered to himself in painful tone before coming out of his cabin…

"please abhijeet..kabhi kabhi hume bhi apni takleef share karne ka mauka do...shayad hum sachme tumhare turst ke layak hon…"

Abhijeet looked towards acp sir who came out of his cabin after seeing them and simply his head turned low. He would never be able to face those fierce eyes again in his life against whom he had stood so many times but now…

Acp sir approached abhijeet and moving his hand forward said… "welcome back SENIOR INSPECTOR ABHIJEET.."

Abhijeet felt a high pain in his heart which he always felt when someone called him with his designation as he though he had made this designation dirty with his works and his unabilities. But still abhijeet with still down eyes shook acp sir's extended hand which was gripped by acp sir who said…

"yaad rakhna abhijeet ki hum log tumpar behad bharosa karte hain…aur yeh bharosa kabhi tutega nahi…(stressing) kissi bhi haal mein nahi…"

Abhijeet once looked towards acp sir whose eyes studied him from top to bottom. A simple TRUE fact or statement spelt by abhijeet left all stunned after that…

"sir bharosa nahi karein aap log mujhpar…(with down head) bahot mushkil hai aap logon ke liye mujhpar bharosa karna sir…bahot mushkil…"

Acp sir said in painful tone… "Abhijeet woh sabh…"

Daya stopped acp sir from extending it any further as he easily got now his buddy be in a painful phase which is imprinted on his heart.

"ek gandi machli pura talab ganda ker deti hai…"

"mujhe abhijeet par bharosa nahi karna chahiye tha…"

"mujhse bahot badhi galti hogayi hai…"

All dispersed after that with an odd feeling in their hearts, it's the first time abhijeet had mentioned anything with the reference of those words or those circumstances, Acp sir though hurt but felt good as abhijeet first time expressed something in front of all, it's a good sign or bad he was not aware. abhijeet mouthed a weak low sorry to acp sir and moved to his desk too.

Daya was also in confused state as abhijeet still much reserve then from where this statement coming?

10 days later.

Nothing changed in these 10 days except abhijeet's health deterioting with time and his focus and attention going much off place which created much confusions and questions in the brains of the other cid officers who now started questioning regarding abhijeet's weak concentration. Abhijeet after returning has still not touched his GUN which daya found odd but thought not to question would be better.

Daya along with Rajesh was now on HARSHIL's trail which was proving to be absolutely useless. After that day Daya knew that abhijeet not receiving any more calls from HARSHIL as he kept his phone records of everybody and was there with him all the time in bureau, case sites and home.

However daya was feeling confused as abhijeet becoming more tensed, isolated and always lost in another world. Daya finally decided to contact DOCTOR GORDEN as now it's really diffciult for him to manage abhijeet because he was doing what he liked, his sleeping hours were not more than 3 hours in a whole day of 24 hours and he ate only few bites when it came to food and most importantly his disturbed figure tensed daya more.

Daya called Doctor GORDEN who picked up the phone on second ring with… "16 days inspector. Long time isn't it?"

Daya was embarrassed. He said in low tone… "I am sorry doctor but main…"

Doctor Gorden said in calm voice… "I am not asking for an explanation daya. Mujhe maloom hai logon ki soch hum jaise doctors ke baare mein kya hoti hai…jaroorat ho bhi toh bhi sochte hai kaam chal jaayega kyunki shayad aise doctor se milne se…anyways tell me how's abhijeet?"

Daya briefed him about whole while missing the details related to HARSHIL's part.

Doctor Gorden took a deep breath and said… "daya abhijeet ko joh kuch usske saath hua hai usske baarein mein kissi se share karna hoga…har ek cheez, har ek takleef ko batana hoga usse…maine socha tha agar woh tumhe bata deta hai toh hume yeh step nahi lena padega magar…

Daya(in tensed tone)- kaisa step doctor?
