Before starting the chapter, Subho Nabobarsho to all my Bengali readers. May this new year brings us sooth and peace.
NOW HAVE A HAPPY READING...
Shreya, with a bandage tied around her head, was lying on the bed while Abhijeet was seemed to be sitting beside her, resting his head over the backrest of the bed, with his arm resting over his eyes. He was seemed to be tired. Now Daya opened the door and entered the room while, with the sound of door opening, Abhijeet sat up straight and looked towards Daya. But today, even after seeing his friend in front of him, his face remained as hard as it was before. Daya came closer to him and asked in pure concern…
Daya: kya hua Shreya ko? Chot lagi hain kya?
Abhijeet just looked towards him and then said in a firm tone...
Abhijeet: woh janna tumhare liye zaroori nahin hain... theek hain abhi Shreya... tum please apna kaam karo...
Daya, at first, could not understand what Abhijeet actually meant by those words. But that confusion lasted for some moments only. All of a sudden, the bureau incident, flashed in his memory like a lightning. Abhijeet had come near him, had not he? He was talking about something... was the topic was this? He immediately spoke up...
Daya: kya hua hain Shreya ko? Please batao na... Dophar ko woh meeting wali baat dimag mein ghum raha tha isliye hi tumhari baat ko ansuna karke chala gaya tha main... mujhe waqai kuch samajh nahin aaya tha tab... really sorry!
Abhijeet now emitted a sigh and then stood up from Daya's bed. He came in front of Daya and said in same firm tone...
Abhijeet: nahin... is mein sorry ke liye kuch nahin hain... and you know what, jo hua ek taraf se accha hi hua... ab main kabhi tumhare saath apni problems share nahin karunga... tumhare life mein priorities ke list mein mera jagah kahan hain, yeh mujhe acchi tarah maloom pad gaya aaj... aur rahi baat Shreya ki to, uska aaj ek accident ho gaya hain... main aur Purvi hospital gaya to pata chala ki chot zyada gehra nahin hain... hum log abhi tak wahin the... abhi kuch der pehle hi ghar aaye hain... anyway, is baat ko zyada badhane ki zaroorat nahin hain... Shreya medicines lekar soyi hain abhi kuch der pehle hi... humari baaton se uth gayi to wapas sulane mein bohot problem hoga... so please... Good Night.
Daya did not say anything as he easily understood that Abhijeet was no longer interested to talk about this matter. He left the room silently and came to his own room. He neither have any complaints against Abhijeet today, nor he had any logics to defend himself. The truth, that Abhijeet really had tried his best to stop him this noon, was cent percent truth and it could not be denied. And this truth also could not be denied that he was not ready to listen to him. He was feeling a tremendous amount of load over his heart. Could not he give some moments to Abhijeet today? Though firstly, he had tried to take him with him by his rights but later on, he had literally begged on. But then also, he had not listened to him. And after the meeting, he went to spend time with Abhiansh, despite promising Abhijeet about early return. He really was feeling guilty! Guilty and angry! Anger over himself.
After this, a huge quantity of time passed away the medium of two hands of the clock! Abhijeet had taken dinner in the same room, today he was really possessive about his daughter, he did not want to lost her away for even a second! Looking towards the angelic beautiful face of his daughter, again and again some questions were getting crowded around his mind.
What then if the accident was major? What would have happened if something bad had happened with his daughter? How would have he consoled himself? How would have he lived without her? Perhaps due to these continuous questions, his night were sleepless.
It was almost 2 AM at night when Abhijeet felt thirsty. He slowly came out from his room and went to the refrigerator to have some icy cold water but stopped abruptly seeing there was more than milk present in the milk container. There should not have so much milk in the container if Daya had drunk milk like every night before going to bed.
Daya had not drunk milk! But why? He himself used to say that drinking a glass of milk every night gave him the energy to work in the upcoming day! Abhijeet slowly forwarded his feet towards Daya's room, silently.
Daya should have fallen asleep at this hour of night. Would it be okay to wake him up? He was walking towards Daya's room, thinking all these but his feet stopped after reaching in front of the door of Daya's bedroom. The door was open and Abhijeet, after hesitating for some moments, peeped inside.
Daya was standing there, near the open window of the room, like a shadowy figure, in the darkness. He was still awaken! Abhijeet could understood that Daya was really ashamed what he had done today, but was it would be okay to go to him after forgetting whatever had happened? Abhijeet stopped for some moments as this question appeared in his mind but very soon Daya's delicate face too appeared in front of him as the answer. Had he done this intentionally? Perhaps not! He entered the room, turned on the lights and spoke up in calm tone after a while, breaking the dark silence prevailing in the room...
Abhijeet: tumne aaj raat doodh nahin peeya? Kyun?
Daya jerked off from his thought world with this ever known voice and but did not, better to say could not say anything. He just remained staring towards his buddy silently. Abhijeet recognized this gaze. He knew that whenever Daya got hurt or felt guilty due to any reason, he could not speak. He just remained staring towards anything with this gaze to convey his pain. This gaze was proving how guilty was he for today's incident. It was so saying this he had done it intentionally! Abhijeet could never tolerate this gaze! His heart always became pieces whenever he was compelled to see such gaze in Daya's eyes. It was so painful for him! He just grabbed his hand tightly and said, but now in much soft tone...
Abhijeet: kya hua? Doodh kyun nahin pee tumne?
Daya now looked down for a single moment and when he again looked up, Abhijeet could see tiny diamond pieces were shining in his eyes, in form of tears. He said in a low, broken and teary tone...
Daya: aaj mujhse ek bohot badi galti ho gayi hain... aaj mujhe tumhari baatein sun lena chahiye tha...
Abhijeet could not reply instantly. Actually he could understand that Daya himself too was unable to understand how much he had changed in these days. He could admit that though it was correct of Daya to be excited to be with his long lost friend, he was unable to maintain the balance between him and Abhiansh! He was not jealous of Abhiansh, but he could not accept him properly... neither in Daya's life nor in CID bureau! Perhaps it was today, which had made Daya realize about his unknown form, which had made him feel so guilty! He just said in calm tone...
Abhijeet: doodh pee lo tum... main lekar aata hoon... bohot late ho gaya hain...
Saying this he turned to leave the room, but Daya grabbed his hand from behind with a pleading...
Daya: kya tum bhool paoge aaj jo bhi hua?
Abhijeet replied after some moments, in the same calm tone...
Abhijeet: bhool chuka hoon... main doodh lekar aata hoon...
No, Daya was not kept deprived of his daily dose milk that night. Abhijeet had fetches him a glass of warm milk and had made him drink so. Daya too was compelled to drink the milk after so much force. But during this, this evening was coming into Abhijeet's mind continuously. Though he was not discussing about that incident anymore, but he knew that he would not be able to forget this incident! And he realized very clearly that it would ne impossible for him to ask for some time from Daya now, neither necessarily nor unnecessarily! The man sitting in front of him, was somebody else! A person whose time was too precious!
All these thoughts were giving rise a sudden turmoil in Abhijeet's mind. He was feeling a crack inside him. Was this crack was the crack inside the deep rooted wall of their relationship, which Daya had not realized though but he had? He could not forget what he had got tolerate today when he was compelled to ring Daya, this afternoon, from the hospital?
Though Shreya's wound was not big enough, but it was deep. The young girl had lost much of her blood and immediately needed two units of O negative blood, which was not present there in the blood bank of the hospital. While the doctors and he himself along with Purvi was searching for a doner madly, he suddenly remembered that Daya's blood group too was same. He could easily give blood to her. So filled with new hope, he rang Daya's number but...
But the call was attended by none other than Abhiansh! And he then replied rudely without even listening to him...
Abhiansh: majra kya hain? Itni important meeting ke beech mein call nahin karte, itna bhi maloom nahin hain tumhe? Senior inspector kaise ban gaye tum? Daya ne mujhe phone diya taki main bahar aake call receive kar saku... ab woh kisi bhi halat mein baat nahin kar sakta... tumhe jo bhi zaroorat ho, woh baad mein batana...
Saying all these in a single breath, Abhiansh cut the call without even giving any chance to speak something. Abhijeet's face had turned red due to humiliation. Had he rung Daya just for time pass? He did not want to ring him, but this crisis had compelled him to do so. He really had not expected such a rude and uncivilized behaviour from the other side!
Next day, in bureau, when Daya was about to enter the main hall by pushing the sliding door, the scenario going on inside made him stunned like hell. He could see Abhijeet and Purvi was talking with each other in a very friendly manner. Both were laughing on something. Purvi was sitting in the chair in front of Abhijeet's desk and Abhijeet was in his chair. Abhijeet's hands were gripped in Purvi's soft delicate hands and they were seemed to be too busy in any personal conversation.
He kept watching the scenario from the opposite of the glass door while his body was fetting burnt in anger. He had never seen Abhijeet to speak such friendly with someone else except him. Yes, he had other friends but he was not so close to him. Moreover Purvi had grabbed his hands also. He knew both Abhijeet and Purvi since long but had never suffered any such thoughts about them. Were they really having some affair?
He came out from hi thoughts with a jerk as he felt a warm touch over his shoulder. He turned to his face, only to found Abhiansh was standing beside him. He turned his gaze towards the bureau hall and found Abhijeet and Purvi was busy in their works, in their respective desks. He shook his head in no and was about to enter the hall, when Abhiansh said in a casual tone...
Abhiansh: tumhe nahin lagta ki Abhijeet aur Purvi ke beech kuch chakkar chal raha hain?
Daya, at first, looked towards him and then said...
Daya: nahin Abhi... Abhijeet aur Purvi bhai behen jaisa hain... aur Abhijeet ka relationship to Tarika ke saath chal raha hain...
Abhiansh: lekin Dr. Tarika yahan thodi na hain ab... shayad is avsar mein Abhijeet... dekho Daya, sab tumhare tarah nahin hote... nayi relationship mein aate hi zyadatar log apni purane rishtein naate bhool jate hain ya phir unhe ignore karna start kar dete hain... sab tumhare jaise mujh mein aur Abhijeet mein balance nahin rakh sakte... main janta hoon ki Abhijeet tumhare liye kya mayne rakhta hain... to... (in meaningful tone) aage tum to khud hi samajhdar ho... tum bas Abhijeet aur Purvi par kuch din nazar rakho...
Saying this with a smile, Abhiansh left the place and entered the bureau, leaving a confused Daya behind. Though his heart was saying that what Abhijeet said was wrong and Abhijeet- Purvi did not share any other relationship other than siblings but his brain denied to accept. He could not forget Purvi's gesture of last night and the sight he saw just now!
He still had not forgotten what Abhijeet had done during his plan with Maya and Abhay. He was having the same feeling. That time, and now too, he was feeling that Abhijeet was ignoring him. Yes, he had done a mistake by not listening to him, but today seeing Abhijeet and Purvi's smiling conversation, he was really feeling angry! He felt that Abhijeet did not need him in in his life anymore. And he could not live without him. He knew that he was possessive for his brother, but this time, he felt, that Abhijeet was cheating Tarika also! They should be kept in watch!
As soon as Abhijeet and Purvi left the bureau together, a bit early, Daya too, like them, too a leave from ACP sir, and came out from the bureau in hurry! But alas! Abhijeet and Purvi had left the place already! He immediately got into his car and came out from the CID bureau to search for both but as soon as he came near the nearby taxi stand, the scenario he saw made him stunned! His eyes became red in anger and an angry whisper came out from his throat as...
Daya: accha!
