A/n : Thank you each and every reviewer for their precious feedback.
Lets Start :
Abhijeet comes back to his desk and tries to relax keeping his head on the head rest.
His mobile beeps. He picks it up to read the message.
"Turant Kolkata ke city hospital jayiye. Apke bhai ki jaan khatre me he. Waha kisi par vishwas mat kariye. Ye number trace nahi hoga. Please mera vishwas kar lijiye.
Apke bhai ka shubhchintak(wellwisher)."
He felt like somebody has put him in an ice can. He can feel nothing around him. His vision become blurry. He muscles become numb. He lost the ability to hear and his legs lost the strength. He fell down on his knees shouting "Dayaaaaaaaaa...", staring on the floor.
He can hear only his buddy's words that he said a night before he left for Kolkata.
"Abhi jaldi le ana mujhe please..."
Everybody came running to him.
"Abhijeet kya hua Daya ko?..." asked Acp in concerning tone placing his hand on his shoulder.
No response..
"Sir boliye kya hua Daya sir ko?"
No response..
Acp noticed his mobile clutched in his hand. He quickly grabbed and read it. He had tears in his eyes. He felt his head spinning. He remembered his last talk with his son before going to Kolkata.
"Sir apko meri kasam he please man lijiye"
He wants to hug his son... He comes back to reality hearing his officers voice.
"Sir ap toh bataiye kya hua Daya Sir ko"
He realizes, he is their father and he cannot fall weak. Atleast not when his sons need him. Gaining control on his emotions he takes charge of the situation. He immediately dials the number that sent the sms but it does not connect.
"Sachin, is number ko trace karo jaldi. Freddy, Kolkata ke 3 tickets book karo abhi. Meri, Abhijeet aur Nikhil ki", ordered worried father.
Sitting down on his knees, holding his elder sons both hands he called,"Abhijeet...".
No response.
Acp again "Suno beta...".
No response.
Now, he took him in hug, rubbing his back. Feeling the warmth of fatherly love, concern, worry and closeness in the hug Abhijeet bursts out crying loudly saying "Maine der kar di Sir.. Main nahi la paya Daya ko jaldi.. Wo mujh par vishwas par gaye tha.. Maine... der... kar...di...".
"Nahi Abhijeet, ye waqt rone ka nahi he.. Strong rehne ka he.. Hume turant Kolkata chalna chahiye.. Usse humari jarurat he.. Usse tumhari jarurat he.. Usse ab b vishwas he ki tum aaoge..".
"Ha Sir, me lene jaunga usse."
Seperating from hug and Wiping his sons tears, "Chalo, utho hume chalna he".
"Sir usse kuch hoga toh nahi na?"..
"Nahi beta.. usse kuch nahi hoga.. wo tumhara intezar kar raha he." said a positive father consoling his worried son.
"Jab wo aajaye toh ap use bahut daatna.. bahut satata he mujhe.." said Abhijeet very innocently like a kid.
"Ha.. uske kaan kichunga me aur mere cabin me band kar dunga.. tumhe tang karne k liye", assured him smilingly..
"Ji Sir." and both got up.
" Ye rahi apki tickets".
"Thank you Freddy".
"Sir wo number temporary private sim se tha trace nahi ho sakta aur shayad ab tak destroy b ho chuka ho".
Acp nodded meaningfully.
"Abhijeet sir, kuch nahi hoga Daya sir ko. Ap bharosa rakhiye. Hum sab milkar pray karenge." assured Freddy to his dear senior.
"Thank you Freddy".
Acp (to all) : Kisiko b kuch pata nahin chalna chahiye Daya k bare me. Kisi ka b phone aye mere ya Abhijeet k liye toh usse hamara number de dena. Samje?
Team : Jee Sir..
Both moved out. Vivek dropped them at airport. Both completed formalities and boarded the flight.
Those 2 hours 45 minutes within the flight were like ages for them. They felt as if they have been travelling around the world to reach Kolkata. Both of them trying to hide their tears from each other. Both of them recollecting moments shared with their emotional fool.
Acp remembering his first day.
" Inspector Daya, reporting on duty Sir."
A father remembering his sons care.
"Sir, apko kaha tha na rest karne k liye.."
A boss remembering his sons concern for his team when he runs away with a bomb.
"Freddy, tumhare body me radio active element he, kuch b sakta he"
A leader remembering how he followed his orders.
"Jana padhega Daya. Tumhe ye pyar ka natak karna padhega". " Main jaunga Sir"
A senior inspector remembering how his junior convinced him easily..
"Acp Sir ne kaha he.. ana toh Abhijeet ko lekar ana varna tum b mat ana."
A brother remembering how he supported him in his bad times, how he scolded him for not informing him.
"Agar jarurat padhe toh yad rakhna. Dost nahi bhai hu tumhara"
"Bhai sahab mera number ab b wahi he. Badla nahi".
A friend remembering his care for him, how he tolerated even his hurting action with happiness.
"Main kuch nahi janta. Tum abhi wapas ja rahe ho. Maine ambulance ko call kar di he".
"Tum dost ho aur tumhara liye kuch b"
Finally, the flight landed. All 3 were running out as fast as they could. Boarding the cab, they reached the hospital.
Nikhil confirmed the room number at the reception.
Reaching the ICU room, they could see their heart wrapped with bandages lying on the bed breathing with dificulty with the help of an oxygen mask. Acp cannot control now. He sits on the bench in front of his glass door staring his injured son. Tears are slowly flowing down.
He is feeling guilty that he could not do anything for him and whispers , "I am sorry beta. Me kuch nahi kar paya isbar". Abhijeet seeing his father's weak body and crying face, gently takes him a hug. "Abhijeet.. me daya k liye kuch nahi kar paya" trying to tell while sobbing in the hug. "Nahi Sir, apne koshish ki toh thi... Aur apka ladla samajta he apko... usse koi shikayat nahi hogi apse. Ha agar ap aise rote rahe toh jarur gussa karega" said Abhijeet wiping his fathers tear.
Abhijeet, seeing his soul breathing and in front of his eyes, the devices displaying his heart readings and blood pressure, even though injured but feeling his closeness to his heart and confident that now he can protect his brother from any person trying to inflict pain to him, his senior inspector senses are turning ON. He is feeling possessive for him.
Realising that there is no team member or security outside his room, Abhijeet came in hisangry form. He cannot tolerate any negligence when it comes to his brother.
"Nikhil, Raj tumhara dost he na.. turant bulao usko", he roared like a lion.
"Sir ap andar chaliye. Main reception par jakar ata hu", ordered an elder son to his father.
"Dekhiye mera naam Abhijeet he, main cid mumbai se hu. Apke yaha jo patient admit hue aj Daya, unke bare me kuch details chahiye mujhe."
"Kahiye Sir".
"Unhe kaun laya tha yaha, kab aye the yaha aur unke treating doctor ka naam kya he aur wo kaha milenge".
"Sir unhe ek admi laya tha yaha, 3pm baje k karib. Patient ki condition bahut critical thi, blood loss bahut ho chukha tha, shayad 2 goli lagi thi unhe isliye operation karna padha. Qki goli lagi thi humne unhe police case karne ko kaha pehle, lekin unhone patient ka cid ka batch dikhaya toh doctor unhe foran le gaye. Form par b unhone bas shubhchintak likha he aur sign ki he. Jab nurse ne unhe dhundha naam janne k liye toh tab tak wo chale gaye the. Form par address me Cid mumbai likha he aur number me ye he. (Showing the form). Uske bad se maine nahin dekha unhe. Hum ye number pichle 3 gante se try kar rahe he lekin lag nahi raha he. Aur unke doctor ka naam he Mr. Rishab aur wo apko yaha se right wale cabin me milenge."
Abhijeet reading the paper and seeing his number in contact number he felt strange about this person, "Koi toh he jo Daya aur mere bare me janta he. Kaun ho sakta he aur itna kaise pata ise. Daya ne b kabi kuch alag sa incident nahi bataya kabi. Lekin jo b he shubhchintak hi he. Agar ye nahi hota toh kya hojata". He feels scared even to think this thought. "Thank you shubhachintak".
Getting the details he goes to into his brothers room.
He can see his father, sitting on a stool, holding his sons hand and patting his forehead.
He went near his brother, towards the other side. He noticed his wrinkled hands, bandages on head, chest and stomach. His ever-glowing face with a charming smile replaced with a dullness emotionless. He gently lifted his palm taking care not to hurt the drips and placed it in his palm. Staring at his face, rubbing his own other hand on chote's finger's and knuckles, he remembered an old incident.
Flashback
Its morning 7am, Daya is still sleeping. Abhijeet enter's in his room to wake him up.
Abhijeet: Dekho toh sahab ko.. sote hue b smile karte he..
He sits on his knees, near to his bed and gently places his palm between his own. He rubs his fingers with his own gently, looking at them.
Feeling a warm touch on his hand, Daya wakes up and saw Abhijeet sitting next to him playing with his fingers.
Noticing a stare on himself, Abhijeet looked at his face.
"Aise kya dekh raha he?"
"Apne bhai ke chehre ko(smiling)".
Abhijeet smiles and stops his action asking him to get ready for office.
"Abhi, jab tum aise karte ho, toh aisa lagta he jaise keh rahe ho, tum mere aas pass ho aur wo ehsaas yaha se lekar sidhe yaha pahuch jata he. (pointing from arm to heart). Agar tum aisa karoge toh me ek minute k liye b tumse gussa nahi reh payunga." Said Daya and got up to get ready with a smile.
Abhijeet nodded, smiled and went to make breakfast.
Flashback over
"Dekh Daya me aagaya. Ab ut ja.", said Abhijeet with tears in his eyes. He spread his hand over his face and hairs and patted his cheeks.
He doesn't know how long he remained sitting over there when Nikhil interrupted them.
"Sir, Wo Raj crime spot par gaya he investigation k liye uske seniors k sath, isliye nahi aa sakta without permission."
Abhijeet got very angry hearing this, it was as If he would have shot him if he would have been infront of him. He gave long staring gaze to Acp. Being well-versed with his officers behaviour, he quickly understood his expectation from him. He is always amazed on how these 2 officers can change their expressions from love to anger within seconds when it comes to either of them.
He stepped out of the room and dialed a number.
Acp: Hello Acp Anurag.
Anurag : Hello Pradyuman. Bolo kaise ho?
Acp: Anurag, muje Raj se milna he abhi. Usse city hospital bhejo.(politely)
Anurag: City Hospital? Kyu? Kya hua? Aur tum kab aye Kolkata?
Acp: Tume sachi nahi pata he Daya k bare me?(confused)
Anurag: Nahi.. Kya hua Daya ko?
Acp: Isn't it strange.. Your officer was shot during your encounter and you are not aware of it. Not only that, but none of your team members or not even security for him. As a father, I can sue you for negligence towards the safety of my son.
Anurag: Kya bakwas kar rahe ho. Daya ne khud message kiya tha muje ki uski tabiyat thik nahi he aur wo ghar ja raha he.
Acp: Kya?
Anurag : Ha Pradyuman. Me milkar wo message bata dunga tumhe aur Raj ko bhejta hu.
Acp : Thik he. Main wait karunga.
He comes back to the room and says , "Raj aa raha he". Abhijeet nods.
"Chaliye Sir, hum doctor ko milkar aate he. Nikhil tum yaha raho aur alert rehna". Acp nodded and both left to meet the doctor.
They enter doctors room.
Abhijeet : Hello Doctor. Me senior Inspector Abhijeet hu aur ye Acp Pradyuman Cid Mumbai se. Hum Cid officer Daya ke bare me janna chahte he. Me uska bhai hu.
Doctor: Acha hua ap aagaye. Hum kabse apka number try kar rahe the. Kuch chize batani he apko.. (Both having worried grin) Jab wo yaha laye gaye the unhe sir pad chote lagi thi aur 2 bullet wounds with minor injuries and heavy blood loss. Bullets toh humne nikal diye lekin treatment me bahut jyada time laga. Unki body response hi nahi kar rahi he kisi b treatment ko. (Both Tensed). Unke blood me anti-depressent ka overdose mila he. ( Both Shocked). Isiliye treatment ko react nahi kar rahe he.. Mujhe lagta he wo kisi chiz ka treatment karva rahe he shayad isliye anti-depressent le rahe ho. Lekin itna overdose shak paida kar raha he. Kyuki wo ek officer he shayad koi anjane me unhe ye de raha ho. Jo depressent wo use kar rahe he wo bina prescription k nahi milta he.
Acp with concern: Abhi kaisi he uski condition.
Doctor: Abhi heart beats stable nahi he jisse brain b puri tarah function nahi kar raha he. Abhi tak unhe hosh aajana chahiye tha lekin anti-depressent ka overuse aur shayad unhe pehle b chest par goli thi.(Both remeber the rocky incident and give feared look to each other)jisse unki ye problem bad gayi. Aur hamare pass treatment ke options bahut kum he unki history dekhte hue.
Abhijeet out of fear: Toh ab kya hoga?
Doctor: Mujhe dar he ki unhe memory lapse, heart damage ya seizures kuch b ho sakta he. (Both are on the verge of breaking down, feeling lost). Lekin iska pata unke hosh me ane k bad hi laga sakte he. Toh hume wait karna hoga..
Abhijeet : Kya hum usse Mumbai le ja sakte he?
Doctor: Meri ye advice hogi ki, ki pehle hosh aajane dijiye uske bad hum decide kar sakte he.
Baki apki marzi..
Abhijeet immeditaly ap jaise chahenge waisa hi hoga bas use kuch nahi hona chahiye. Please..
Doctor: I understand officer.
Abhijeet: Thik he ab hum chalte he. Ye mera card he . Ap mujhe kabi b fon kar sakte he. Ek request he ki hum uske bare me kisiko koi information nahi dege.. for security reasons as you know..
Doctor nodded and both left.
They reached his room and found Sameer and Raj waiting outside.
Sameer(forwarding hand): Hello Abhijeet, I am Senior Inspector Sameer, Daya k sath kaam karta hu. Wo tumne Raj ko bulaya aur hum dono sath the toh me b aagaya. Kaisa he Daya ab?
Abhijeet recollected his buddy's words.
"Boss, ye Sameer na khud hi khudki tarif karta he. Pata he usne abhi tak 235 cases solve kiye yaha aakar. Mujhe toh yad b nahi humne kitne kiye hoge."
Abhijeet (forwarding hand and with very grave expressions): Hello.. Condition critical he. Abhi kuch keh nahi sakte.. If you dont mind kya me Raj se akele me baat kar sakta hu?
Sameer: Ha kyu nahi.
Abhijeet : Chalo Raj. Both come inside the room.
Abhijeet is having angry body but a calm tone that can be seen on his face. Raj is feeling stressed. He knows he is going to face interrogation from this Senior Inspector Abhijeet. He is too scared to meet his eyes.
Both are standing facing to each other in front of the glass door visible to everybody outside.
Abhijeet(calmly touching his shoulder) : Daro mat, main tumhe criminal nahi samajta. Bas kuch sawalo k jawab chahiye.
Raj nodded positive.
Abhijeet: Mujhe pata he tum Daya se bahut kuch sikhna Chahte ho, bataya tha Daya ne mujhe. Iska matlab tum usse apne guru k tarah mante ho. Toh abhi usike liye mujhe sab batao pehle se. Jab se wo aya he. Har wo chiz jo tumhe pata ho uske bare me.
Raj describes everything about Daya including his blurry vision , sleepless night problem and the last encounter.
Abhijeet(calmly): Tumlog as a team gaye the na encounter k liye toh tumhe nahi lagta tumhe Daya ko dhundna chahiye tha jab wo lauta nahi?
Raj: Ji Sir.. Main ja raha tha dhundne lekin fir Daya Sir ka message aya ki wo ghar chale gaye kyuki unhe tabiyat thik nahi lag rahi thi.. and he shows the message.
Abhijeet(checks the message): Man liya.. lekin tumhe pata he na wo ek responsible officer he aur tum toh uske bahaduri k sare kisse jante ho, he na? Toh tumhe doubt nahi hua ki wo aise kaise kar sakta he? Tumhe nahi laga ek bar verify karle?
Raj: Ji Sir laga.. lekin Daya sir ne khud message kiya tha aur fir senior(Abhijeet scolded : Ha ya na?)
For the first time Raj looked up first time and could see fire in his eyes, he realized it was his duty to verify the message. May be not as a colleague but when he treated him as his mentor. He said Sorry Sir.
If it would have been Mumbai team, Abhijeet would have dragged more, shouted for his sorry word but he controlled and let it go.
Thik he next time aur kisike sath aise nahi karna. Yaad rakhna.. Both come out.
Abhijeet still with same grave expressions: Sorry Sameer. Wo Daya ki baat aati he toh me kuch jyada sochne lagta hu.
Sameer : I understand. Koi problem nahi. Acha toh hum ab chalte he. Kuch lage toh bol dena.
Abhijeet : Sure. Thank you.
Both leave and trio enter inside the room.
After relaxing and thinking something Abhijeet said : Sir, mujhe kuch gadbad lag rahi he. Ye sab planned ho shayad. Main yaha rukhna chahta hu thode din. Kya ap Daya k team se meeting arrange karva sakte he? Aur mujhe uska ghar b check karna he. Kya ho sakta he ye?
Acp after thinking : Ha hojayega. Hum kal subah chalenge bureau.
Finally tired from all this, they slept in hospital. Acp on the couch , Abhijeet sitting on the stool near Daya resting his head on his unharmed shoulder and Nikhil outside on the bench.
Next morning, Acp and Abhijeet reach Kolkata Bureau.
Acp : Good Morning Anurag
Anurag: Good Morning Pradyuman, aao betho.
Acp: Ye Senior Inspector Abhijeet he. Both wish other greetings of the day. Anurag enquires about Dayas condition and Acp replies the same that Abhijeet mentioned to Sameer yesterday.
Acp: Anurag actually Abhijeet yaha rehna chahta he kuch din Daya ka khyal rakhne k liye toh kya tum uske ghar ki chabi de sakte ho?
Anurag: Ha jarur. Ye lo..
Acp: Thank you. Hum team se b milna chahte the. Unhe thanks kehna chahte he Daya ke sath co-operate karne me.
Anurag: Sure. Chalo me tumhe milwata hu.
All of them come out of cabin.
Anurag: Ye Senior Inspector Sameer he, ye Inspector Raj, inse toh tum mil Chuke ho, ye Inspector Roma aur ye Inspector Tanuj.
Abhijeet immediately recollected.
"Boss, ye Tanuj he na mujhe kuch gadbad lagta he. Ekdum silent rehta he. Kisi ke sath baat nahi karta. Investigation b thik se nahi karta. Bilkul dhyan nahi deta apne kaam par."
Abhijeet (to all): Ap sabka bahut dhanyawad apne Daya k sath co-operate kiya usse samman diya.
Abhijeet: Ye desk kiska he?koi aya nahi he kya?
Anurag: Ye Daya ka desk he.
Abhijeet with confused expressions acha.
Acp: Thik he ab hum chalte he. Thank you all of you.
They return to hospital.
Abhijeet rubbing his lips in his traditional style "Sir, kuch ajeeb lag raha he.. Daya k desk par bhari hui pani ki bottle thi. Wo desk par kabi bhari hui bottle nahi rakta.. ".
Acp: Hmm.. shayad koi bureau me se hi koi?
Abhijeet: Ha .. mujhe b lag raha he.. shayad mujhe pata he kaun lekin sabut nahi ye. Mujhe sabut dhundna hoga pehle...
Acp phone rings. He receives it and disconnects saying "Very Thank You Sir".
"Abhijeet mujhe Mumbai jana hoga, Daya k joining formalities puri karne k liye" said Acp happily.
"Chalo kuch toh achi kabar aayi", exclaimed Abhijeet feeling very happy.
Acp came near to his son , patted his forehead, cheeks and said, "Ab bahut jaldi Mumbai lautna he tumhe.. Jaldi se thik hojao".
Turning to Abhijeet and Nikhil, "Dhyan rakhna, akele nahi chodna aur mujhe updates dete rehna", and he left.
Abhijeet sat near his brother holding his hand , caressing his head and went back to the day prior to the reporting date of Daya.
Flashback
Both are sitting on a rock on the beach eating corn, watching the sunset and enjoying the moment ignoring thoughts of tomorrow.
"Abhi.. aj bahut maja aya.. Thank you for this day." said Daya to Abhijeet with happily.
"Ha Daya mujhe b".
Daya asked "Abhi mujhe yad karoge na tum?" with a sad emotion.
Abhijeet replied, "Nahi.. bilkul nahi..".
Daya feeling more sad.
Abhijeet seeing his face said, "Pagle, bhulunga toh yad karunga na?" and gave a light pat on his head.
Daya replied, "Kya Abhi.. tum b na"...
Abhijeet realizing the environment turning soggy, said "Chaliye Sahab, ek walk karte he is thandi hawa me aur khule asman me".
"Kya baat Abhi, tum toh meri tarah hogaye".
"Sangat ka asar he Daya" and he laughed.
Both started walking on the sand feeling calm whenever waves touched their feet, talking about different things.
After sometime, Abhijeet took out a beautifully wrapped box and handed it to Daya.
"Ye kya he?" asked Daya with curiosity.
"Kya lagta he tumhe?".
"Box he", said Daya mischievously.
"Pagal, gift he tere liye."
"Wow, mere liye?" in happiness.
Abhijeet nodded. Daya quickly took it and unwrapped it. As soon as he opened it, a cushioned hand attached to a spring popped out that punched his nose". Daya was giving shocking expressions and Abhijeet started laughing loudly as much as he can.
Realizing that he was fooled, Daya immediately pounced on him like a kitten. In seconds, Abhijeet's dry laugh turned into a wet scolding. Both were down in the water rolling in the sand. Abhijeet tried to get up scolding his buddy but Daya again pulled him down and both laughing on each other.
Flashback over
"Uthna yaar Daya.. Teri hasi sunne ko taras gaya hu.., Dekh me tujhe bhula nahi.. fir b tu mujh se aise naraz kyu he?", said Abhijeet trying to wake up his buddy.
Seeing no response he got disappointed. He again rested his forehead on his hand, remembering few more incidents. His thoughts got disturbed when he noticed movement in his hand.
He quickly got alert and holded his hand, close to his face. Slowly, Daya gained consciousness. He noticed his bhai sitting next to him with tears and smile. Daya felt happy or may be very happy. He wanted to make sure it is not dream, he forwarded his hand to touch his face and said "Abhiiii.." under the oxygen mask. Abhijeet nodded as yes in response. Both were staring each other and feeling happy. Daya's excitement level raised which did not do good to him. Their happiness was short lived.
Soon, his body started shaking, his muscles stiffened and froth could be seen coming out of his mouth. Abhijeet panicked and shouted Nikhil to get the doctor. By the time doctor reached, Daya again went back to sleep or say lost consciousness. Doctor arrived and started checking him and treated him.
Abhijeet was standing there and observing him. Praying everything is well with his brother.
Doctor turned to Abhijeet and said, " Sab thik he officer. Ye toh good news he". Abhijeet felt like holding doctors collar and asking how can all that happened be a good news.. he controlled himself and let the doctor complete.
Doctor: Mujhe pata he ap kya soch rahe he. Dekhiye, maine apko 3 possibilities di thi. Jis tarah se wo excited hue jisse ye attack trigger hua wo clearly batata he ki unhone apko pehchan liya. Matlab unki memory safe he. (Yes, the doctor is right and this is a good news he said to himslef)
Next, unke heart test results b normal he matlab koi heart damage nahi. Toh hui kya nahi ye good news. 2 major possibilities rule out hogaye. Aur inka dil aur dimag dono thik he.. Abhi jo hua wo ek seizure attack tha jo danger ho sakta tha agar hume time par pata nahi chalta toh. Ab hume pata chal chuka he toh hum uska treatment shuru kar sakte he. Ap aur hum milkar inhe thik karlenge na(smiling)? Abhijeet nodded yes. Abhi he is unconscious lekin sham tak dubara hosh aajayega. Lekin dhyan rakhna dubara aise hone k chances he toh hume turant inform kar dena. Dont worry.
"Sach me kabi kabi gusse par control karke sun lena chahiye. Usme apni hi bhalai hi nayi positivity mil jati he", he said to himself.
"Daya dekh tere chakkar me bichara doctor peeth jata aj mere haato se" , he said to Daya smiling and patting his head.
He sat there for a long time, feeling his brother's presence, his happiness that he had seen few minutes earlier, the peace he felt when he called his name.
Spending a lot time, he realized he has lot to do. He has to catch his brother's culprit. Find out what made his brother fall as a victim to this inspite of being strong, smart and capable of handling such situations. He wants to meet his brother's "subhachintak" and thank him for saving his life.
He called Nikhil and instructed, "Mujhe kuch kaam he , abi jana padhega. Tum yehi raho.. Koi laparwahi nahi karna.. B alert...". Saying so he spread his hand on Daya's face and turned back to leave.
He heard a knock a door at the door and was surprised to see the visitor.
To be continued..
