The struggle to take custody of the remote control was going on. The CID and goons were face to face; one side wanted to save thousands of people while the other side was trying to kill thousands of people. The struggle continued on the second floor of an abandoned factory. Finally, Daya was able to get the remote in his hands but he also fell down the stairs on his left shoulder with a goon on top of him. Abhijeet saw that from the corner of the long corridor. He ran toward him as he also finished fighting the last goon. He skipped over the two stairs at the same time to reach his buddy as soon as possible. He pushed the goon lying above him. The goon was in the world of unconsciousness. Daya looked at him and raised his hand to show him a thumbs up on his victory but the pain stopped him midway.
Daya winced: Ahhhh…
Abhijeet hurriedly grabbed his arm: kya kr raha ho… araam sy yaar… (asked him) uth skty ho?
Daya nodded, with the help of Abhijeet he sat down but as soon as his left hand touched the ground he gasped: uuggghhhh…
Abhijeet looked at him with worry: zyada lag gai kya… (To check he touched him by his arm but Daya didn't allow him to) hmmm… lagta hai, fracture hai… (he also checked his other injuries but found nothing other than a bleeding forehead. He put the handkerchief on his head. Daya gave him the remote control of the bomb).
Daya: akhir kaar hum safal ho hi gaye…
Abhijeet, who was now calling ACP sir: wo to hummy hona hi tha yaar… hum itny masumon ki jaan khatry mai nahi dal skty thy na… (Daya nodded. It was then the phone call was received) hello sir…
ACP Sir: haan Abhijeet bolo… pakry gaye wo log?
Abhijeet replied in obedience: G sir che log hain…
ACP Sir: Any casualties?
Abhijeet: no Sir…
ACP Sir asked: or jo wahan bomb hony ki khabar thi uska kya hua?
Abhijeet: sir bomb mila hai…
ACP Sir in worry: kesa bomb hai? Bomb squad bhejun? Defuse ho skta hai k nahi…
Abhijeet to relax him replied: no sir… koi tension ki baat nahi hai… detonator humary pass hai sir aap team or ambulances ko bhijwa dain yahan… injured ko hospital shift krna hai or baki sbko jail k liye rawana krna hai…
ACP Sir nodded: theek hai team nikal gai hai rasty mai hai… maine emergency k liye ambulance bhi bhijwa di thi… (out of concern) tum dono theek ho na? Koi tohfa to nahi ly liya hai tum logo ny sath mai…
Abhijeet glanced at Daya; who was sitting with his back attached to the wall: sir mai to theek hun, lekin (sarcastically) Daya ko tohfay leny ka bohat shoq hai… (in simple words to pacify the almost panicked ACP Sir) seerhiyon sy gir gaya hai Daya… (Daya glared at him)
ACP Sir in worry: aye bhagwaan… (in worried voice) theek to hai na? Zyaada to nahi lagi na…
Abhijeet replied: lagta hai k fracture ho gaya hai hath…
ACP Sir in annoyance-worry: aik to yeh larka bhi na… pata nahi hospital ka chakkar lagaye baghair iska guzara kyun nhi hota…
Abhijeet sighed: bs sir kya kr skty hain… (Daya glared him angrily) adat ho gai hai issy… hospital ka darshan kiye bina adhura adhura lagta hai issy… something is missing wali feeling aati hai issy…
Daya glared at him hard: Abhijeeeeet…
Abhijeet understood that now if he dared to say something more Daya will eat him raw that too without any seasonings: wese sir tension ki koi Baat nhi hai… zyada chotain nahi aai hain, bs hath pr hi chot aai hai zyada… hum doctor ko dikha k aaty hain Bureau…
ACP Sir in a strict way: shaam ho gai hai… seedha ghar jana, koi zaroorat nahi hai Bureau aany ki…
Abhijeet sighed: yes sir… (he heard the siren of an ambulance and the voice of footsteps coming towards them) lagta hai team aa gai hai… mai aapko baad mai phone krta hun…
ACP Sir in caring tone: hmmm… dhyan rakhna Daya ka or apna…
Abhijeet shook his head in yes while turned to Daya's side after hearing Freddie's concerned voice: G sir… Bye…
He moved to Daya's side and heard Freddie's concerned-scold: Daya sir aap kb sudhrain gy haan… (Abhijeet chocked his laugh after seeing Daya's face)
Daya: Freddie…
Freddie continued with his scolding ignoring Daya: kb tk aap esy laaprwaahi krty rhy gy… kabhi to khayal kiya karain aap… hum kitny pareshan ho jaaty hain aap ko esy dekh k…
Abhijeet intervened: kya Freddie tum kissy samjha rhy ho? Iss janam mai inka sudharne ka koi irada nhi hai… (looked at Daya's face; which was showing stubbornness) chalo ab dair ho rhi hai…
Freddie readily helped Daya in standing-up which realised Daya that he might have also sprained his foot: chhhh… (Abhijeet looked at him with a questioning gaze) lagta hai payr mai bhi chout lagi hai…
Abhijeet sighed: chalo…
They took Daya to the car and settled him in the passenger seat. Freddie was going to sit in the back seat when Abhijeet stopped him: Freddie mai ly jaunga Daya ko, tum ander jao team ko zaroorat hogi…
Freddie tried to protest but stopped after seeing Abhijeet's eyes: Aap inform kr dena sir… please…
Seeing Freddie's worried eyes he automatically nodded his head in yes.
Abhijeet looked at the Daya who was sitting with closed eyes while giving support to his left hand with his right hand.
Abhijeet while concentrating on the road said in a concerned tone: kya hua? Zyada dard ho raha hai kya?
Daya still in the same posture, replied: uhun… bs yunhi betha hua hun…
Abhijeet nodded: bs hum pohnchny hi waly hain hospital…
Daya in an irritated tone: haan haan pata hai… jald hi aik or lamba chora lecture milny wala hai mjhe wo bhi free of cost…
Abhijeet smiled as he knows that now Rahul will also lecture him and at last he would have to stay at home under strict orders of his loved ones.
They reached the hospital, Abhijeet took him to Rahul's cabin. Rahul was busy examining the X-ray of some sort, he without looking back said: kaka coffee table pr rakh dain aap…
Abhijeet while helping Daya in sitting: Saab coffee to nahi hai lekin yeh aik patient laya hun aapky liye…
Rahul looked up and put the files on the table: arey aao aao… (signalling them to sit) betho… (scanning Daya) tumny phir se herogiri dikhai… tum kb sudhrogy akhir…
Abhijeet said in between: na bhai na… yeh kese sudhar skty hain… agar yeh sudhar gaye to duniya ki kaaya hi na badal jaye…
Daya in his sulkiness: kya Abhijeet ab please tum phir se shuru mt ho jana…
Abhijeet started telling the whole happening to Rahul: seeriyun sy gir gaya tha… or bs iska nateeja tumhary samny hai…
Rahul continued: yaar tum log bhi na… aik to itni khatarnaak job hai tum logo ki upper sy tum log khud itny careless ho… hr waqt koi na koi injury kra k aa jaaty ho… (he started examining Daya) ohhh… yeh shoulder toh dislocate ho gaya hai sath sath hairline fracture bhi hai… pair mai bhi sprain hai…
After a thorough check-up and treatment, Rahul started in a strict tone: do hafty… kam az kam do hafty lagy gy iss fracture ko theek hony mai… jb tk agar tumny koi stunt dikhaya na to acha nahi hoga… (in threatening tone) yahin issi hospital mai bed sy zabardasti baandh k rakhunga mai tumhy… (eyeing Abhijeet, who was looking at him in shock) or kisi ki itni juraat jo tumhy mjh sy bacha ly phir…
Daya looked at him in horror: acha bhaeee… dara kyun rahy ho tum… nhi krta mai kuch…
Abhijeet smiled. Rahul im his full strict avatar: yahi tumhari sehat k liye behter hoga…
Abhijeet now entering the conversation: Rahul koi tension ki baat to nahi hai na?
Rahul in his professional tone: nhi Abhijeet koi serious problem nhi hai… agar proper care ki jaye gi na to do hafty kafi hain fracture ki recovery k liye…
Abhijeet sighed thankfully: shukar hai… iss larky ny to hr waqt meri jaan suli pr latkai hoti hai…
Daya: Abhiiii… kya hai yaar… (Abhijeet looked at him. Daya was in pain, the process of relocation was the reason for his pain) mjhe bs ab ghar jana hai…
Rahul: haan tum ghar jaa skty ho… (forwarding the prescription) yeh medicines lety rehna sath main…
Abhijeet nodded and took the prescription from Rahul: chalty hain Daya… bs tum paanch minute yahi wait karo mai me medicine ly k aata hun…
Daya nodded and closed his eyes: jaldi aana…
Abhijeet left the room. Rahul came to Daya's side: zyada pain ho raha hai kya…
Daya nodded in yes, well! It was surprising; Daya saying yes to being in pain. Rahul nodded and prepared an injection: mai aik painkiller dy deta hun… wesy to hai tumhari medicine mai included hai…
Daya opened his eyes with a jerk and passed him a nervous smile: aaa… nnhhii… rehny do tum… iski koi zaroorat nhi hai… mai to bs esy hi keh raha tha… dawai lunga na ghar jaa k to theek ho jayega… (looking at the injection) injection ki koi zaroorat nahi hai yaar…
Rahul stiffened, he knew that now he had to be strict to deal with the strong and brave Daya: chalo Dya seedhy ho k betho… you need it… (he forcefully took his arm and completed his task after futile efforts to escape) dekha kuch bhi nahi hua…
Daya, who was almost crying: yeh to tum keh hy ho na! Tumhy kya pata kitna dard hota hai… hunh…
Same time Abhijeet entered (well, you people can understand how much time Rahul had taken to give an injection to Daya): kya ho raha hai yahan…
Daya stood up with difficulty: chalo yahan sy jaldi… or das minute ruky na yahan to pata nhi Yeh zaalim doctor kya kya kary ga mery sath…
Abhijeet glanced at Rahul with a questioning gaze: yaar aik painkiller ka injection diya hai issy… bs ussi ka rona ro raha hai…
Abhijeet nodded his head in disappointment: iska kuch nahi ho skta… (took Daya with himself) chalty hain hum… thanks yaar…
Rahul waived off his thanks: kya yaar… yeh bhi koi thanks kehny wali baat hai… khayal rakhna… bye…
Abhijeet smiled: bye…
DUO's HOUSE
"bs yeh last bite hai Daya..."
Daya in annoyance: bs na yaar… or nahi khaya jaa raha mjh sy…
Abhijeet still having the bite in his hand: yaar yeh to tera favourite shahi paneer hai na… maine tera favourite khana iss liye banaya na taky tu pait bhar kr kha ly… lekin yeh bhi nhi kha raha theek sy…
Daya took the bite from him and feed him back: yeh tum kha lo… or wese bhi mera pait bhar gaya hai na… or tum bhi khao na yaar… bs mjhe hi khilaye jaa rhy ho…
Abhijeet was going to protest but Daya hurriedly put another bite in his mouth. Abhijeet smiled disappointedly.
After freeing from dinner and medicines, Abhijeet helped Daya in lying down in a comfortable position. Daya closed his eyes as he was feeling pain.
Abhijeet caressed his head: zyada dard ho raha hai kya…
Daya looked at him and found his worried face: nhi boss… Rahul ny painkiller diya na to ab theek hai… don't worry…
Abhijeet just nodded in worry. Daya smiled, he took his hand in his own: itni fikar na kiya karo yaar… mai theek hun ab…
Abhijeet sarcastically: Haan wo to dikh raha hai mjhe k Sahab kitny theek hai…
Daya: yaar please ab phir se taany marny na shuru ho jana… kabhi kabhi mjhe lagta hai tumny na koi taany marny ka special course kiya hua hai…
Abhijeet was again going to say something in return when the doorbell rang.
Daya sighed, murmured: shuker… (loudly) jao jaa k dekho kon hai…
Abhijeet burningly: jaa raha hun…
Abhijeet entered with ACP Sir and team, seeing them Daya tried to sit but ACP sir stopped him, caringly put a hand on his head and fared his hair: nhi beta… laty raho… (lovingly) dekho kya hal kr liya hai tumny apna… itna careless kyun ho tum… khayal kyun nhi rakhty apna?
Daya gave his special smile: sir aap bhi na… pareshan hony ki koi baat nhi hai… zaroor apko Abhi ny sb barha charha k bataya hoga…
ACP sir in his strict tone, showed him fierce eyes with a loud and clear warning: jesa k mjhe pata hi nahi hai na tumhara… ab agar tum mjhe aik hafta sy pehly bureau mai nazar aye… r do hafton sy pehly field pr gaye na to dekhna phir… mjh sy bura koi nahi hoga…
DUO simultaneously under their breath spoke: wo to wese bhi koi nahi hai…
ACP sir with the same voice asked: kuch kaha tum logo ny?
Both simultaneously spoke: nhi sir…
ACP sir showed his hand: haan haan sb pata hai mjhe…
Freddie moved forward and sat beside him: kya Daya sir… ab kesi tbiet hai aapki?
Daya gave him his evergreen smile: mai theek hun Freddie, don't worry… (telling everyone) aap sb log please pareshan na hon… mai bilkul theek hun…
Abhijeet came forward: aap ab log bethy mai aata hun…
Everyone settled themselves in the room and started having quality time. Abhijeet came in with a tray of tea and snacks and put it on the table. They had some time together.
ACP sir while standing up: ab hum chalty hain… khayal rakhna tum log… (to Daya) or tum agar aik hafty sy pehly mjhe bureau mai nazar aye na to phir dekhna tum…
Daya nodded his head in yes, he knows very well that if he disobeys his loved ones this time he will be dead soon.
Bureau
A high profile case was reported, due to the possibility of leaking the information out the team was ordered to remain in the bureau until the case is resolved.
Abhijeet on call: Daya khayal rakhna apna… dawai please time pr lena… maine ghar ka khana order kr diya hai… khana time pr ghar pohanch jaya kary ga… tum please time sy kha lena or medicine miss mt krna…

Daya nodded in an understanding manner: theek hai… take care… bye…
Abhijeet put off the phone. ACP sir asked Abhijeet about Daya's well being: kesa hai Daya? (Abhijeet replied: theek hai sir bs udaas hai) hmmm… yeh to hona tha khair… jald hi yeh case solve ho jayega…
Abhijeet nodded in agreement: jee sir… bs aik aik baar koi clue hath lag jaye…
Their conversation turned into an investigative discussion.
At home, Daya was getting bore: yaar aik to iss case abhi hi aana tha kb mai yahan ghar pr sarrh raha hun… ab to Boss bhi ghar nhi aye ga pata nhi kitny din tk… haye mai to boriyat sy Bhagwaan ko pyara ho jaunga kasam se… kya karun… (his eyes caught the glimpse of his laptop innocently lying over the table) chalo Daya utho or kuch intezam karo iss boriyat ka… (he took the laptop and started searching for something worth watching)
The day passed lazily. The next day, Daya was watching a movie when his phone rang, his lips curved into a smile seeing the caller ID.
He took the phone on the very first bell: hello Boss, kesy ho yaar…
Abhijeet smiled: mai theek hun bhai… tu bata theek hai? Nashta kr liya?
Daya replied: haan boss kr liya hai… medicine bhi ly li hai… tum batao tumny kiya breakfast?
Abhijeet: hmmm… kr liya hai… abhi Freddie ki wife ny sb k liye tiffin bheja tha…
Daya got relaxed: chalo yeh theek kiya bhabhi jee ny… mai ab relaxed hun…
Abhijeet smiled at his brother's care: acha jis baat k liye call ki thi wo to sun ly…
Daya got attentive: haan Boss bolo, mai sun raha hun…
Abhijeet in a serious tone: mera jo laptop hai na... (Daya hummed) khol ussy… usmy na Internet connection nhi hai… mjhe uss laptop mai sy aik important file chahiye… iss case mai reference k liye… tu please uss ka print out nikal dy… mai Vivek or Tasha ko bhej raha hun tu please unhy dy dy…
Daya nodded in yes: theek hai tum mjhe batao konsi file chahiye?
Abhijeet after thinking something: bulky aik kaam karo print out k bajaye tum wo file USB mai bhej do, wo zyada safe rhy ga… khatra hai data leak hony ka… iss liye mai Vivek ko akely bhi nhi bhej raha… tum USB ko password encrypt kr k bhejna…
Daya in serious mode: theek hai… (remembered something) ohhh no meri USB to bureau mai hai… or jo ghar hai usmy virus hai…
Abhijeet instantly: nhi virus wali USB mt lagana mere laptop ko usmy bht important data hai, maine Internet connection bhi usmy iss liye nahi rakha hua hai… tum aik kaam karo mery room mai jao… (Daya moved to his room with difficulty: hmmm… pohanch gaya hun…) study table ki last drawer k board k neechy mere locker ki keys hain… (hmmm… mil gayi…) ab mere locker ka to tumhy pata hi hai… (khol liya) usky andrr jo secret drawer hai usmy dekho hogi USB…
Daya just hummed. He took the USB and was going to turn when his elbow hit the locker and another USB fell. Abhijeet heard the faint sound.
Abhijeet: kya hua Daya?
Daya said it was nothing: kuch nhi yaar hath takra gaya tha locker sy… (he hurriedly pick the fallen USB and took it with himself to the study table and put both of them on table)
Abhijeet: ab tum meray laptop mai drive E mai jana waha 2005 k folder k ander case no 8675 ki report hai uski file ko iss USB mai kr k mjhe bhej do… aik ghanty tk Vivek tumhary pass aa jayega…
Daya nodded while switching on his laptop: theek hai tum bhej dena jb tk mai file copy kr leta hun…
Abhijeet in care filled voice: khayal rakhna apna… Bye…
Daya reciprocated: tum bhi khayal rakhna… Bye…
After switching on the laptop, he searched for the required file. After finding the required file he was going to take the USB when found two of them on the table. Both of the USBs had mixed up.
Daya: Arey yaar yeh toh dono USBs mix ho gai hain… yaar… (he took the USBs t the bed and sat there as it was getting difficult for him to remain standing for long)
He inserted one USB and open it. It had some video clips having some dates as a name.
Daya in astonishments: yeh kesi videos hain… Abhi k pass? Chalo issy baad mai dekhta hun… abi pehly kaam kr leta hun phir dekhta hun…
He transferred the required files and took the other USB to his room. He plugged it into his laptop and settled on the bed. He opened the first clip; the video played and he got shocked.
