A\N: The correct pronunciation of the term "Petrichor" is "Pat- Ri- Kor". It does not relate with any kind of thievery.

And please don't request me regarding Dayavi or Abhivi couple, this is not a couple story. It's a total story of Friendship genre, and will deal totally about different shades of friendship.

NOW HAVE A HAPPY READING...

Wait! Wait! Wait!

The accident was seemed to be much dangerous but our Daya sir was Daya sir! A brilliant driver! While he discovered that he had lost control over the car and the car was skidding towards the big tree, Daya immediately reduced the speed of the car as much as possible, but he could not stop the final damage. The car still collided straight with the tree and both of them shouted "aaahhh" in shock and somewhere in pain. None of them were injured severely as both had seat belts tied around their body but both had got some bruises.

Somehow, Daya managed to come out from the car and helped Abhijeet to come out also. After coming out from the car, Abhijeet said in anxious tone...

Abhijeet: tum theek to na Daya?

Daya: ha... haan boss... tum theek ho na?

Abhijeet nodded positively while looking around the place with...

Abhijeet: woh dusri gadi kahan gaya Daya? Zaroor uska bhi accident hua hoga... Hume us driber ki madad karni chahiye...

Daya: madad nahin... pitayi karni chahiye... dekha na tumne, kaise gadi chala raha tha? Zaroor sharab peeke toon hoga... haath aa jaaye na, haddiyan madod dunga... humari gadi thok diya...

Abhijeet: Daya! Aisa nahin kehte... use bhi koi problem ho sakta haina? Bina soche samjhe aise nahin kehte... samjhe?

Daya: samajh gaya masterji... ab chalte hain! Dhundke nikalte hain us car ko...

Both of them walked through the road for some distance and their destination was not much far away. Soon they discovered another collided with another tree beside the road. The condition of that car was worse than their car. Though their car was not able to be travelled with anyone, but that was not too damaged. But this car had it's total windscreen broken over. Some glass pieces were lying over the road beside while some were inside the car. The bonnet of the car and thw headlights too were disfigured, which was clearly indicating that the car was at the top of it's speed beforw colliding with that car.

Inside the car, a deep darkness were prevailing along with coldness. Abhijeet opened the driver's door and in the very next second, a blood stained body fell down from the car. Abhijeet immediately got hold of the body and checked his nerves. Yes, he was still alive!

He was about to call Daya when he saw him making a phone call with " hello ambulance!". He heaved a sigh of relief!

It was seen very often that the sufferers of devil's influence themselves had brought down devil around them, although unintentionally! Sometimes we suffered in life, due to our unintentional mistakes! We, often, unintentionally had created a devil's door in life, and we ourselves were unaware of that!

After Daya finished the call, he came near Abhijeet to help him to bring thw victim out from the car but immediately stopped at his tracks seeing the face of the victim! Though blood stained it was, he did not even need a single moment to recognize his best friend Abhi!

Abhijeet looked towards his confused face and then asked in confused tone...

Abhijeet: kya hua?

Daya: Abhijeet yeh Abhi hain... (Abhijeet shocked)... Abhi matlab Abhiansh... orphanage mein mera sabse accha dost... meri best friend tha yeh... itne saalon mein contact nahin tha... aur phir aaj aise...

Abhijeet(with smile): aur dekho tum ise hi sharabi keh rahe the... isliye hi kehte hain ki bina soche samjhe kisi ke bare mein kuch bhi nahin kehna chahte...

Daya(in irritated tone): Abhijeet please... abhi zyada bakbak mat karo... chalo Abhi ki madad karte hain...

Abhijeet looked towards him silently. Though Daya was not wrong, as their first priority should be saving Abhiansh, he too knew that, but he felt a thorn stuck inside his heart. All of a sudden he felt that Daya could have said that with less rudeness. Hr could have said it softly!

He tried not feel bad, so he just smiled and helped Daya to bring out Abhiansh from the ruins of the car. But he was unable to delete the total hurt feeling from his heart. He felt a deep ball of pain was storing inside the throat which he was trying to gulp down but suddenly his throat was seemed to be too narrow!

Daya really could have said it softly!

After shifting Abhiansh inside the Operation Theatre, Daya sat down on the bench, kept in the corridor, beside Abhijeet. Abhijeet looked towards his face silently and then again looked down, towards the floor. Daya was much impatient! He stood up and then started to saunter around the corridor in tension.

Abhijeet again looked up towards him. His face was having multiple lines of tension and anxiety, which, he understood, were cutting his brother's heart into pieces at this moment. The dark shade over his face was proving this only. He just sighed.

How much pain he had got from this man, yet he did not possess the power of ignoring this man's sad face. He knew that his brother needed him now. And today also, he was not late to forward his hand towards that person.

He stood up silently and went to him. He just kept his hand over his shoulder, which made Daya grab his palm tightly within a single moment. Abhijeet smiled. He was right. He really needed him beside to comfort himself. He just said in a soft tone...

Abhijeet: zyada tension mat lo Daya... sab kuch theek ho jayega... doctors dekh rahe haina? Hmmm? Kuch nahin hoga Abhiansh ko...

Daya just nodded tearily which made Abhijeet smile a bit more. He just pressed his palm lightly, then got his own palm released from Daya's grip and turned towards the bench while Daya called him from behind...

Daya: boss!

Abhijeet stopped on his tracks and answered without turning towards Daya...

Abhijeet: hmmm... bolo...

Daya walked towards him in rapid steps and grabbed him from his shoulders with a guilty...

Daya: I am sorry Abhijeet...

Abhijeet(in calm tone): kisliye?

Daya(in low guilty tone): mujhe us waqt tumse waise baat nahin karni chahiye thi... I know Abhi ki tum mera, ya phir kisi ka bhi, kabhi bhi bura nahin chahoge... mujhe bas Abhiansh ki tension thi yaar... I am really very sorry... mujhe maaf kar do...

Abhijeet just kept staring towards him for some seconds and then smiled softly with a soft...

Abhijeet: it's okay Daya... main woh baat kab ki bhool chuka hoon... behtar yeh hi hoga ki tum bhi bhool jaao... aur phir dosti mein yeh sab to lagi hi rehti hain... haina?

Daya really did not have any answer of that small "haina?" so he just smiled and pulled Abhijeet into a warm soothing embrace which made Abhijeet close his eyes gently. Now, his conscience was mocking him with laugh. How silly he was! How stupid he was! How foolishly he had thought that after getting back his childhood bestie Abhi, Daya would forget him now? He now embraced Daya back with same warmth and love. Every relationship had its fixed position in everyone's life. He murmured in his heart. He knew this before also, he just reminded himself as he had temporarily forgotten this truth.

Daya and Abhijeet entered the cabin after pushing open the door. Abhiansh, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes and looked towards the visitors. His gaze fixed on Daya. Daya smiled sweetly at him. Abhiansh literally tried to jump up while Daya grabbed him tightly with a concerned...

Daya: araam se... abhi theek nahin ho tum...

Abhiansh(in tears): Daya tum! Itne saalon baad! Aise miloge mujhe maloom hi nahin tha...

Daya was staring towards him with teary eyes while Abhiansh hugged him tightly from waist and whispered...

Abhiansh: I missed you Daya... I missed you like hell yaar...

Daya(in same teary tone): I missed you too Abhi... bohot yaad aayi mujhe tumhari...

Abhiansh separated himself from the hug gently and said in excited tone...

Abhiansh: pata hain, mujhe na maloom tha ki tum yahan Mumbai mein ho, isliye hi aaya tha main yahan... lekin kismat ne hume aise mila diya... mujhe ab bhi yakeen nahin ho raha hain...

Daya: mujhe bhi pehle yakeen nahin hua tha yaar... jab us gadi mein tumhe waisi halat mein dekha na maine, mere to hosh hi ud gaya tha ek pal ke liye... us waqt to aisa laga tha ki kahin main tumhe phir se milne se pehle na kho doon... main bohot dar gaya tha yaar...

Abhiansh: main samajhta hoon yaar... meri gadi ka break fail ho gaya tha kal raat... isliye woh accident... agar tum nahin hote to shayad main bach bhi nahin...

Daya(in concern): kya bol raha hain Abhi! Aisa nahin kehte...

Abhijeet, who was still standing at the doorstep, was watching the reunion of these friends silently. He was feeling himself so useless right at this moment. He did not know whether it was his possessiveness or what, but he felt that he was wrong to come here with Daya. There was no need of him here, he was nothing but an outsider! He took some steps backwards and remained staring towards the emotional reunion of the two friends! No doubt, he was feeling happy for Daya, but he was feeling a vacuum was slowly taking him inside it's cold grip, which he was unable to move away from himself even after so much attempts.

At that moment, Abhiansh's eyes fell on him. He pointed towards him and asked Daya in curious tone...

Abhiansh: accha Daya, woh kaun hain? Tumhara koi colleague?

Daya turned towards Abhijeet and found him still standing near the doorstep with an uncomfortable expression stuck over his face. He shook his head in disappointment as he understood the reason behind Abhijeet being uncomfortable. He should have introduced these two before doing all these. But he did not get an opportunity also. But... better late than never! So he just grabbed Abhijeet's right palm and brought him near Abhiansh's bed with a cheerful...

Daya: Abhi yeh Abhijeet hain... mera best friend... mera bhai... mera sab kuch... yeh bhi CID mein hi hain... as a senior inspector... meri tarah... aur Abhijeet, tum to jante hi ho yeh Abhiansh hain, mere bachpan ke dost...

Abhijeet felt a bit comfortable with that introduction and then forwarded his hand towards Abhiansh with a soft...

Abhijeet: Hi Abhiansh, I am Abhijeet. Abhijeet Srivastava!

Abhiansh once looked towards him with a strange gaze, a gaze which was the combination of iron hard gaze and icy cold gaze, and then grabbed Abhijeet's hand a bit tightly with a sarcastic...

Abhiansh: Hi Abhijeet, I am Abhiansh Sharma! Daya ka Abhi!

Saying this, he pressed Abhijeet's ' hand a bit strongly with a glance of that strange gaze over his face. Abhijeet himself did not know why, but he felt that a chilly stream was running across his spines with that touch and that cold yet hard gaze was sucking away his inner soul from the cage of his body. He felt uncomfortable and immediately got his hand released from Abhiansh's grip with a jerk while Abhiansh asked Daya in teasing tone...

Abhiansh: haina Daya?

Daya(with a laugh): tum dono hi to Abhi ho mere liye... tum Abhiansh aur... (looking towards Abhijeet)... tum Abhijeet! Kitna lucky hoon main...

Abhijeet, who was looking towards the floor till now, now looked up silently towards Daya. Daya smiled towards him sweetly. Abhijeet, too, tried to smile back but he himself could understand that his acting was too worse. Abhiansh again said to Daya...

Abhiansh: tumne meri jaan bachayi hain Daya... main kaise tumhara shukriya ada karu mujhe samajh mein hi nahin aa raha hain...

Daya: arey nahin Abhi... is mein shukriya ki kya baat hain? Yeh to mera farz tha...

Abhiansh: theek hain, main thanks nahin dunga... lekin ek dinnee treat to de hi sakta hoon na?

Daya: haan sure... jahan tum bologe... any time...

Abhiansh: theek hain phir... lekin yeh koi official dinner nahin hoga... ek friendly dinner hoga... sird main aur tum honge wahan... restaurant jaate waqt theek kar lenge... I hope tumhe koi problem nahin hoga...

Daya thought for two seconds and then said with a smile...

Daya: nahin nahin problem kaisa? Lekin, bill hum adha adha denge... kyun ki yeh ek friendly dinner hain isliye... mujhe bhi to mera dost itne saalon baad mila haina?

Abhiansh(with a smile): theek hain...

Daya: theek hain Abhi, tum aaram karo, hum chalte hain abhi... hume bureau bhi jana hain... raat ko dinner mein milte hain... tumhare chotein itni gehra nahin hain... discharge mil jayega aaj hi...

Saying this, both sat in the car to go to bureau. But, though Abhijeet was happy for Daya's reunion with his friend, a painful hurt feeling was gradually getting stored in his heart. Despite being so intelligent, he was unable to understand the meaning of that gaze of Abhiansh. Was he trying to say something to him? Why did he arise the topic of dinner? And what did he mean by "Daya ka Abhi"? What must be his intentions?

He jerked his head badly in order to jerk away those thoughts. Shhhhh! What the hell was he thinking? Had not he seen the glory in Daya's eyes? Glory of happiness and satisfaction? How happy he was to reunite with his friend! And he was thinking all these shits! How silly he was! And everyone had his own place fixed in everyone's life. Nobody could snatch or replace anybody else's place. Daya loved Abhiansh but no doubt, he loved him also. He knew!

He was thinking all these silently, with his gaze fixed outside the window of the running car. Daya felt his silence, looked towards him and found him looking outside. He smiled naughtily and said...

Daya: kya baat hain Abhijeet? Itna chup kyun ho?

Abhijeet answered him without turning towards him...

Abhijeet: kuch nahin Daya...

Daya(in fake serious tone): tumhe bura to nahin lag raha haina ki main Abhi ke saath dinner pe bahar jaa raha hoon aaj?

Abhijeet shook his head a bit. Yes he was definitely feeling bad, not because Daya was going for dinner with Abhiansh without him, but due to Daya's act of calling Abhiansh as "Abhi" in front of him. He had noticed that since they had found Abhiansh, Daya had never called him "Abhi", rather he was calling Abhiansh so, that also in front of him. He knew it was childish for a man of his age to feel bad on such a topic which was probably silly for the world, but he could not deny the fact that he was really feeling bad. What was silly for the world, was much precious for him and he could not afford to lose it.

Daya shook him lightly as he saw him being silent for long. Abhijeet looked towards him with confused face while Daya asked again, but now in a real serious tone...

Daya: Abhijeet, tumhe waqai bura to nahin lag raha haina is baat se?

Abhijeet(with a small smile): baccha nahin hoon main Daya ki mera dost kisi aur ke saath dinner mein jaye aur main munh fulake baith jaun... main samajhta hoon ki tumhara bhi niji zindagi hain aur tumhare aur bhi kayi dost hain jinhe bhi haq hain tumhare saath time spend karne ka...

Daya(in relieved tone): oh! Mujhe to laga tha... agar tumhe burs bhi lage to koi baat nahin... tumne aisa soch bhi kaise liya ki main Abhi ko treat de raha hoon àur tumhe nahin dunga? Hum dono bhi bohot jald chalenge dinner par... haan aaj possible nahin hoga kyun aaj Abhi ne sirf mujhe bulaya hain, lekin jab waqt milega, tab I promise hum dono chalenge... theek hain? Ab to thoda has do...

Abhijeet smiled at that moment, but rather forcefully. The smile from the deep core of heart did not appear over his lips today. Rather some questions peeped into his mind gently. Could not Daya think that he could spend some of his time with him also? They themselves could share some personal moments also. Since last three weeks, they were planning to go to dinner, but it was their busy schedule, which was not allowing them. But today, how easily Daya agreed to go to dinner with Abhiansh, without caring about their busy schedule! Could not Daya think something like this for him? Though unintentionally, but these questions really popped up in his mind.

That night, Abhijeet was seemed to be sitting in his bedroom with a novel open in front of him and with a cup of coffee kept beside the table. His mobile was lying aside, with it's screen lit, which proved that Abhijeet was surfing through it just some moments ago.

Abhijeet was just staring towards the pages of the novel, unable to read anything. Daya's WhatsApp status, which he viewed some moments ago, was appearing in front of his eyes again and again. Daya had posted a smiling photo of himself and Abhiansh in restaurant with a caption of " Me with my bestfriend forever Abhi in the best dinner ever!".

He was not feeling jealous, rather he was feeling hurt! In the whole day of bureau, whenever they had got a break, Daya had described him about Abhiansh, his qualities, his nature, his habits etc. He was feeling ignored. Not jealous, but a bit uncomfortable. Actually he and Abhiansh did not know each other, he was completely unaware about him, rather they had met for a few minutes only. He was uncomfortable with that! Moreover, he was anxious about Abhiansh's strange behaviour towards him. His strange gaze and strange touch was haunting in his mind continuously.

At that moment, the doorbell of their house rang loudly. Abhijeet jerked up and then looked towards the watch but frowned the very next moment finding that the visitor could not be Daya as it was not the time of his return. He took his out his gun and tiptoed to the door. He opened the door within a single moment and pointed his gun toward the visitor at the very next moment but...

But he did not know that the person standing outside the door was carrying the most powerful weapon of the world, much more effective than his gun. The visitor attacked him with that weapon while Abhijeet remained spell bound as he had never imagined even in his wildest dreams about this arrival. He just whispered in shock...

Abhijeet: tum!

END OF THE CHAPTER

So who might have come to visit Abhijeet? What weapon is that person carrying? That person attacked Abhijeet! How? What would be the outcome of this attack? Will it harm Abhijeet? Why the person attacked him? What about Abhiansh? Why is he behaving strange? What are his intentions? What role does Purvi has in this story? Who is the third arm of this friendship triangle? If it is a clash between Abhijeet and Abhiansh regarding Daya, whom will Daya support? Stay tuned to know more.
