" Sir, mere alawa koi aur nahi ja sakta kya ? "
" kyun , tumhe jane me kya problem hai ? "
" sir wo Abhi "
Before Daya could complete his sentence Abhijeet snatched his mobile from hand,
" sir aap chinta mat kijye Daya time se Delhi headquarter pahunch jaega aur meeting me humare team ko represent bhi karega " Abhijeet assured his father, totally ignoring the piercing eyes of his brother upon him .
" Abhijeet saaf saaf batao baat kya hai...Daya kyun nahi jana chahta Delhi...sab theek hai na ?" Acp sir asked , trying to be in strict voice
Abhijeet smiled on his father's anger which is pure worry for his sons..but he is Acp pradyuman, how can he show his affection in real..his stone hearted image will be break na..but Acp sir always forget that, his both sons and team members very well know...what in real he is ? How he had hidden a very soft hearted personality of him Infront of world...but his family members specially duo knows his father better than anyone.
" sir sab theek hai.. koi problem nahi hai, aap to jante hai na aapke cheeranjeev ko ...doctor jab tak mujhe fit declare nahi kar dete bhaisaheb ko chain nahi parti " Abhijeet said in small smile
while Daya looked at him in teasing while raising his eyebrows as " accha ? "
" Ooo...par meri bhi majboori hai Abhijeet...do din baad yahan elections honge jiski security ke liye high command ki meeting hogi Mumbai headquarter me..aur mera waha jana bahut jaroori hai..agar ye nahi hota to mai khud Delhi chala jata "
" sir aapko explaination dene ki koi jaroorat nahi hai ( Abhijeet said in desperate voice ) ... aur ab mai bilkul theek hun , mai to abhi bureau me hota agar aapne mujhe suspend karne ki dhamki dekar leave nahi di hoti " he said grumpily
Acp sir hide his smile hearing his son's complaining tone...
" waise sir ab to maine teen ghante rest kar liye..ab mai bureau aa sakta hun kya ? " Abhijeet asked in high hope
Enough, this is enough..Daya felt uncontrollable anger on his superhero brother...
" Mobile do mujhe tum, bahut ho gaya tumhara " Daya demands his cell phone in anger
Here, Daya was spitting fire from his eyes which was enough for scaring Abhijeet and this was so less that, on the other side Acp sir snubbed him badly
" khabardar agar tumne bureau ka naam bhi liya aaj pura din... chupchap rest karo samjhe..warna sach me 1 mahine ke liye suspend kar dunga mai tumhe "
" okay sir , bureau kya B se koi word hi nahi bolunga aaj.." Abhijeet said in scared tone
" That will be better for you..now Daya ko phone do aur jake chupchap rest karo bina mooh fulaye "
Abhijeet cursed himself under his breath and forward Daya his phone who took it rashly from his hand..he gave a sweet smile to Daya while Daya glared him hard
" Ek bara Ravan hai aur dusra chhota Ravan...dono ko bas mai hi milta hun daantne ke liye , huh " he grumbled under his breath and left from there
Daya smiled in disappointment hearing his brother's nomenclature for him " chhota Ravan "
" Haan sir " Daya said while attending Acp sir's call
" Daya wo theek hai na ..jada tabeeyat kharab hai kya uski ? " Acp sir asked in caring voice
Daya lied through his teeth " nahi sir, he is fine now " he closed his eyes in regret..but he knows very well if he would tell the truth then his brother will be make " keema " of him and will distribute to all neighbors with free of cost.
Acp sir took sigh of relief and said in soft tone,
" okay fir, abhi nikal jayo Daya to raat tak pahunch jaoge "
" jee sir "
Daya sighed and cut his call, he came in Abhijeet room and saw him lying on bed.
" Sir ko kuch nahi bataya na tune ? "
" Mai tumhari tarah nahi hun jo wahi kaam karunga jo karne ke liye sabne mana kiya ho " Daya said in cold tone
" Daya gussa kyun ho raha hai yaar..thora sa hi fever hai..dawai lunga to chala jaega "
" haan 101 to normal temperature hoga tumhare liye tum Ironman jo ho.. " Daya teased him in angry tone
" itna kyun ukhar raha hai..maine thori Delhi me meeting arrange karwayi hai .." Abhijeet asked in innocent tone
" meeting arrange nahi karwayi to kya par bhej to tumhi rahe ho na ...kya jaroorat thi Acp sir ko kahnw ki mai jaunga meeting me ...tum jante ho acche se ki mai tumhari baat kabhi nahi katta kisike samne aur isika tum Pura fayda uthate ho " Daya said angrily and sighed in frustration
" jo karna hai tumhe wo tum karo mujhe kuch kehna hi nahi hai tumhe...par ek baat yaad rakho ab mai kabhi beemar paruna na to ek baat nahi sununga mai tumhari " Daya said in warning while taking his all cloths from almirah in anger...he stuffed his goods in travelling bag scolding his brother continuously. While Abhijeet was hearing everything with down head , he was feeling guilty now...but he didn't like it when some works got stopped cause of him or someone got trouble because of him .
He zipped his bag and take out his mobile from his jeans pocket and scrolling down in contact list, he called Dr siddhant...
" Hello Sid, mai Daya bol raha hun ...yaar aaj tum Abhijeet ke paas ruk sakte ho... actually use tej bukhar hai aur mujhe urgently Delhi jana hai...(sighing in relief ) Thank you so much sid, jitna jaldi tum aa sake utna better hoga "
Abhijeet smiled on his brother's act...one hand he is so much angry on him that he didn't want to see his face and on the other hand he is worried for his health so much.
" Daya " Abhijeet called his brother in appologised tone after gulping his medicine which his brother gave him looking downward.
" Mujhe tumse baat bhi nahi karni aur paas bhi nahi ana tumhare " Daya said in hurt tone
" sorry " Abhijeet made puppy face and hold his brother's hand
Daya forgot all his anger feeling heat radiating from his brother's body..he sat down beside Abhijeet and check his forehead,
" tumhara bukhar to badhta hi ja raha hai " Daya said worriedly..he was faring too much now
" Dawai li hai na abhi ..theek ho jaega , Tu chinta mat kar " Abhijeet said with a light smile on his face
" Abhi mai abhi Acp sir ko bolkar alna jana cancel kar raha hun ..mai tumhe aisi halat me chhorkar kahi nahi jane wala " tears came in his eyes seeing his brother's condition like this
" Daya please tujhe meri kasam..tu aisa kuch nahi karega...ye meeting cid ke liye bahut jaroori hai yaar " Abhijeet said in strong tone
" tum itne jiddi kyun ho Abhi " Daya asked in helpless teary tone
Abhijeet sighed and hold his brother's hand ,
" Daya iss baar meri baat manle please...aage se mai teri har baat manunga, tu jo kahega mai wo karunga..I promise "
Daya closed his eyes and nodded quietly patting his brother's hand..
" Thank you ( Abhijeet smiled)...aur tu bilkul chinta mat kar mai bed se uthunga bhi nahi ek baar aur ...aur fir sid bhi to aa raha hai na , jab tu ayega wapas tab tak mai tujhe ek dam pahle ki tarah daurta bhagta milunga " he said in chuckling
Daya smiled too and ruffled his brother's hair ,
" bahut baate ho gayi ab so ja "
" tu jaega na, mujhe sulake sir ko mana nahi karega na ? " Abhijeet asked in low tone
" teri kasam tor sakta hun kya mai ( Abhijeet shook his head in no )..to fir, aankhe band kar aur sone ki kosis kar "
Abhijeet nodded in smile and closed his eyes and soon drifted in sleep with magical touch of his brother's finger on his head.
seeing Abhijeet sleeping peacefully , Daya freed his hand carefully from his brother's grip and wrapped his brother properly with blanket and sighed deeply glancing at him once...
He took his travelling bag and carresing his brother's hair last time he move outside from there unwillingly with heavy heart...
Daya looked at Abhijeet's froom doorstep, his heart was pinching to leave his brother in this condition but he has to go..for his brother's happiness..he wiped his moisture from his eyes which appeared with the thought of leaving , he sighed and closed the door noiseless and left out from there ignoring his heart's warning.
sometimes it really became tough to choose between Heart and Mind.
Abhijeet felt unseasiness in his sleep..so he opened his eyes and sat down in his bed...he was feeling thirsty, he forwarded his hand to take jug from his bed side table...when he felt nauseous...he was feeling, he would vent up everything what is inside his stomach..he pulled blanket from his body and rushed toward washroom..
He vomited, his condition was being deteriorated..he was feeling so much weakness in his body suddenly..a sudden darkness overpowering made him fall on floor , he lost his conscious ...his whole body has become wet due to opening of shower, as during the fall..he had turned on the shower without his knowledge.
Acp sir was driving the car with worry expression on his face...he had tried to call Abhijeet so many time but not a call has been answered from other end, first he has thought Abhijeet might be sleeping..but after three four Ringing when no one picked up his call...his heart gave him signal that something is wrong ... very wrong..so he left his all work in mid and drove off from bureau toward DUO's home.
Acp sir opened his car hurriedly , he was feeling desperate to see Abhijeet once .. he wanted to console his heart that his son is fine...
He opened the door with duplicate key when no one opened the door, his heart was signalling him the worst..but he tried, tried to ignore it saying everything is fine..but his heart missed a beat seeing Abhijeet's room condition...
whole floor was filled with water coming from bathroom...he rushed toward the bathroom and his heart stopped beating for a second..
" Abhijeetttttttttttttttttttt " a shout came from his Mouth in shock ,
He turned off the shower and hurriedly picked up unconscious Abhijeet in his arm , he made Abhijeer lie on the bed...
" Abhijeet, Abhijeet kya hua tumhe..ankhe kholo " Acp sir patted his cheek..his heart was beating in fear.
He jerked off his hand in shock, feeling the warmess..
" iska badan to Pura tap raha hai.." he stated in panic to himself
Acp sir hurriedly took Abhijeet's shirt from wardrobe and came to him..he lifted up Abhijeet carefully keeping his hand inside his back head ...in unconscious, Abhijeet put his whole body weight on his father's chest .
Acp sir controlled his tears , he composed himself and change Abhijeet's shirt after drying his body from towels.
Acp sir took a sigh of relief noticing Abhijeet had stopped shivering...he warpped him properly in quilt and checked his temperature, taking out thermometer from side table.
" 102 " the reading gave him goosebumps on his skin with fear
He hurriedly toom out his phone for calling Dr salunkhe when door bell rings.
" Abhi kaun aya hoga iss wakt " he asked to himself.
He came out from room and opened the door to greet the visitor and he sighed in relief seeing Dr sidhant there.
" sir aap yahan ? " Siddhant asked in pleasant surprise
"Dr siddhant wo sab mai baad me batata hun.. pahle aap Abhijeet ko dekhiye kaafi tej bukhar hai use...(in pain ) mujhe washroom me behos mila wo "
" oh no "
siddhant hurriedly came inside Abhijeet's room and started to check his friend , while Acp sir sat on tool and held Abhijeet's hand , looking toward his son's pale face with pain .
" Mujhe Daya ne bola tha ki mai jaldi aa jayu..par emergency ke Karan mai late ho gya...thank god sir aap aa gaye iske paas " siddhant said while giving injection
Abhijeet flinched in pain...Acp sir heart pinched badly, he sooth his son while carresing his hair while saying sidewise " bas bas ho gaya bacche "
" siddhant isko hospital le jana parega kya ? " Acp sir asked worriedly
" Nahi sir ab uski jaroorat nahi hai..aap bas thande paani ki paati karte rahyega bukhar jaldi utrega usse aur iske hos me ate hi kuch light sa khilake ye medicine de dijiyega ( showing him tablet )..."
" okay " Acp sir took the medicine
" Isko bola tha maine do din hospital me ruklo par pata nahi hospital me kaunse bhoot picchas dikh jate hai aapke officers ko jo ek din bhi rukna nahi chahte..." Siddhant said in teasing
Acp sir smiled a little,
" Accha theek hai sir mai nikalta hun... ek baar saam me ake isko dekh lunga "
" Thank you Dr "
" kya baat kar rahe hai sir, Abhijeet mera bhi dost hai "
Acp sir smiled warmingly and seeing off siddhant to the door, he move toward kitchen and came back in Abhijeet's room with cloth and bowl filled water .
He compressed cloth dipping in water and kept it on Abhijeet's forehead. He checked the temperature after sometime and felt relief finding its normal.
Abhijeet's eyes opened due to reducing of fever, he became confuse finding himself in bed ...he remembered that he was in washroom before losing his consciousness.
" jada deemag pe jor dalne ki jaroorat nahi hai, mai laya tunhe " Acp sir said in stern tone
Abhijeet's eyes became wide in horror seeing his father in front of him..."aaj to mai gaya ", wala face ...
" Aap kab aye sir " he asked in sweet smile, internally hiding his fear
" jab tum cold shower le rahe the behos hokar " Acp sir answered instantly in tease
" isliye Daya mana kar raha tha na jane ke liye...dono ke dono ko bas sab kuch chippana hota hai, jante bhi ho agar aaj mai time pe nahi ata to kya hota " Aco sir snubbed his son
" fir se hospital pahunch jata " Abhijeet answered innocently
" befakoof " Acp sir whispered hiding his smile on his son's innocent answer
" sir sacchi bataye na aapko kaise pata chala ki meri tabeeyat kharab hai..(in low tone ) maine to Daya ko bhi mana kar diya tha aapko batane se "
" kyunki mai Acp pradyuman hai...tumlog chahe kuch bhi na batao mujhe par meri najar sab jagah rehti hai...samjhe ? " Acp sir replied in stern tone
Abhijeet nodded and tried to get up when Acp sir stopped him doing so bly glaring
" chupchap yahan lete Raho mai soup leke ata hun tumhare liye fir Medicine khani hai tumhe "
Acp sir warned his son and left from there leaving Abhijeet in smile,
" aap chahe jitna chhupa le sir par hume pata chal hi jata hai ki aap humse Kitna pyar karte hai " he felt sooth in his heart
Acp sir came with bowl of soup, he made Abhijeet sat on bed and kept napkin on his neck
" sir mai..khud " Abhijeet was feeling embarrassment..he was feeling like a child
" pata hai mujhe superhero ho tum , par ek din apna kaam kisi aur ko karne doge to maan nahi kam hoga " Acp sir said in tease
" sir mai aapko Pareshan nahi karna chahta tha isliye nahi bataya..." Abhijeet justified himself feeling his father's anger over him
" aur abhi jo mujhe sab kaam chhorke ana para tab to koi pareshani nahi hui mujhe " Acp sir teased again
" sorry sir aapko meri wajah se itni parsgani hui..aap please mujhe de dijiye ye tray mai khud kha lunga, aap bureau jaye " he felt hurt, hurt to know that work is more important for him than me...huh, how can i forget he forgot everything in front of duty, even he could distrust him and blame him falsely for his duty's sake. He was hurt from his dual nature, sometimes he became so caring and in next moment he became so harsh and stone hearted...why he is like this, didn't he know how much he hurts me like this .
" Abhijeet mere kahne ka ye matlab nahi tha..Mai bas tumhe uss halat me dekhkar dar gaya tha " Acp sir first time in his life explained himself.. because today he couldn't ignore the hurt look on his son's face and in this condition, he wanted to keep him stress free and happy.
Abhijeet became shock...no no pleasantly surprised, he opened his mouth in trance when Acp sir forward spoon toward him.
" sir "
" hmmm "
" ek baat pooch sakta hun ? " today he wants to take his all answers.. perhaps in future he would not get any chance like this
" poocho " Acp sir said quietly, feeding him
" aapko mujhpe trust kyun nahi hai ? "
The question was simple but it had hidden so many things, he looked at his father with hopefully..that perhaps he will get his answer this time.
" mujhe tumhe khudse bhi jada vishvas hai Abhijeet " Acp sir said
" Jhoot...jhoot hai ye...agar ye baat sach hota to aap humesa mujhpe shak kyun karte hai..?" he asked in pain ... trying so much to control his moisture
Acp sir adverted his gaze , he has not answer of this question... perhaps he has but he didn't want to give it...seeing Acp sir silent, Abhijeet said in soft teary tone
" Mai aapse explaination nahi maang raha sir, kyunki mujhe pata hai aap kabhi galat nahi ho sakte...fir bhi pata nahi kyun jab bhi mujhpe iljam lagte hai to mera dil bas aapke mooh se ek baar sunna chahta hai humesa ki " haan Abhijeet mujhe tumpe bharosa hai , ki tum kabhi ye kar hi nahi sakte "
" Abhijeet abhi sayad mere paas tumhare sawalo ka jawab nahi hai..jab tum mere place pe aoge to tumhe khud iss baat ka jawab mil jaega "
" sir , kya sach me aapko lagta hai agar mere samne aisi paristhiti ayi kabhi future me to mai bhi aapki tarah dil ki sunna band kar dunga " Abhijeet asked in desbelief and chuckled in mock
" Tumhara dil aur deemag me se uss wakt tumhara deemag hi jeetega..kyunki usse pata hota hai ki aapki bhalai kisme hai ? "
Abhijeet didn't understand anything, he sighed deeply ,
" bas sir ho gaya..ab pet bhar gaya mera "
Acp sir wiped his mouth and gave him tablet, he gulped down and laid on bed while taking support of Acp sir.
" Abhijeet tumhare ghar me guest room to hoga na ... actually mere ghar me do din se renovation chal raha hai isliye "
" Are sir ye ghar aapka hi hai..aap jitne din chahe reh sakte hai " Abhijeet answered in soft smile, he knows there is not any renovation..he just wanted to take care of him...
" Accha theek hai ab ankhe band karo apna " Acp sir said in strict tone, carresing his hair
Abhijeet smiled and closed his eyes feeling the sooth...every question, every doubt, every hurt lay forgotten in this magical moment..he just wanted to enjoy his father's love without any hurtful feelings inside him...
wo kahte hai na we should live in present, forgetting the past and not worrying about the future.
Acp sir smiled on his son's innocent sleeping face, he took place beside him and unknowingly Abhijeet shiftes his head on his lap..
Acp sir smiled affectionately and kissed on his forehead with so much love for his son,
Father's love is like this...he will not say you " I love you " Loudly but his actions speak thousand of words than his words. yes Acp pradyuman regrets, felt guilt everytime after hurting his child..but he does it for his goodness...
If he showed his trust openly then his upper head will snatch the case from CID and transferred it to another department and that will be more tragic and painful for his son.. because their investigation style is so harsh..he gave pain to save him from bigger pain...he said him those harsh words so that no one break him more with poisonous words..he showed his distrust so that his Team members will trust him that he is not partial ... because everyone is equal in his eyes when it comes to duty.
The End...
