S o guys lets move on to the aaj ki Social seekh...
Aaj ka chapter thoda doctors ke aju baju revolve krta hai and lets dedicate a min to appreciate all the front liners who have been working tirelessly to save us despite all the dangers they know...Umm here's a great quote about the doctor's.
...When you run with a doctor it feels like it never ends but however you try you can't run forever. Everybody knows that everybody dies and believe ne nobody knows it like a doctor. But I know that all the skies of all the world's would turn black if he , ever for a moment accepts this fact. Everybody knows that everybody dies. But not everyday. Some days are special...Some days are so so blessed. Some days nobody dies at all. Now and then , every once in very long while, everyday in a million days, when the wind stands fair ..The doctor comes to a call...
Everybody lives...
So who all are waiting for this day...Everybody lives ???
Waise aaj chapter ke end me ek aur social seekh hai...chapter padhte padhte ke guess kijiye kis barime hogi toh...So jaldi se abhi chapter shuru krte hai...
CHAPTER 7 - SAB KE SAB NAMOONE HAI !
" AISE KAISE DOCTORS HAI YAHA ? HAIN ?" Abhijeet shouted at the receptionist. " Sir ek minute Shanti se kisi doctor ko check toh kr lene dijiye." The receptionist tried to pacify the angry man. But he sure wasn't in a mood to calm down. However in that ruckus she managed to page the doctor.
Shreya came running as soon as she the saw the emergency pager. She was shocked Daya to see on the stretcher with continuous blood loss. Although he wasn't unconscious but the paleness was clearly seen on his face. " Ye Aise kaise kya ho gya ?" Shreya asked. She was confident in her word. The suturing was done correctly. " Ye kya kaam kiya hai Doctor yahape. Kitna khoon beh raha dekhiye jara !" . " Abhijeet , thand rakhi thoda ! Nikal jata hai kabhi kabar suture !" Daya said trying to controll his friend. Because Daya knew , Once Abhijeet was out of controll everything literally everything was out of controll. And Daya didn't want Shreya and Abhijeet to meet in this kinda situation.
Yaar Tarika tum jab chahiye tab kyu nahi rehti ho...
" Sister Jaldi room tak ka rasta Khali Karwao !" Shreya said as she put pressure on wound with one hand and with other hand she pushed the Stretcher. " Betadiene !" Shreya said and the nurse gave it in her hand straight away. Shreya cleaned the wound and administered some epinephrine locally to stop the blood flow for the moment. " Ye itta kaise kya rupture ho gya !" Shreya said. " Wohi toh me puch raha hoon ! Ki Aise kaise kya suturing kari ki 24 ghante bhi nahi hua aur itna khoon beh raha hai. " 3.0 ka suturing material dena iss baar !" Shreya said and again started suturing.
" Shreya. Thoda gussa hai. Bura mat Manna!" Daya said trying to pacify her. Because indirectly things were pointed at her now. She was the one that had handled this case yesterday. But Shreya didn't even pay attention to him. " Abhi , ho gaya na bohot !" Daya said now trying to controll his brother. He was also signaling him something but was the Sr. Inspector in a mood to understand ? No...
Actually Bablu had scarily called Abhijeet this morning that Daya ke hath se firse khoon beh raha hai. And hearing that Abhijeet made a mad dash from the crime scene to Daya's house. And now he was here with no mentality to understand. Daya was trying to tell him ki ye Shreya hai but he wasn't even paying attention.
" Waise humesha toh tum Dr. Salunkhe ya Dr. Sharma se treatment lete ho. Aaj kaunsa aisa gaira natthu khaira doctor leke aye. Jiske suturing hi na tike woh kya hi doctor hoga !" Abhijeet smirked. Just then Shreya removed some old suture fibres that were contaminating the wound. And she immediately understood that the wound had been stretched too had. That's what had caused the rupturing.
" Abhijeet , Ye Dr. Shr... !" Daya was about to same thing when Shreya kept a hand on his thigh. Perhaps this wasn't the right time for introduction. After doing what medical things that needed to be done , Shreya removed her gloves. " Its done !" She said. " Ek din ke observation me rakhte hai. Blood loss hua hai toh !" Shreya said again signing something and then left.
" Itta kya hungama ho raha tha Shreya ?" Priya asked. " Are kuch nahi woh bas...!" Shreya was trying to explained when sister told her that she was being called by Dr. Sharma.
...ye toh Aafat ho gyi...
( Evening )
Daya felt a little groggy and his throat felt completely dry. He was trying to open his eyes when suddenly he felt a pinch on his hand. As a reflex action , He quickly withdraw his hand from the source. " Are baba tum kitta hilta hai. Kitti takleef deta hai !" Daya heard the voice. It was kinda familiar.
...ye toh yahaki sister ki awaj hai...
Daya then remembered the whole morning fiasco. Angry Abhijeet, panicked Shreya and all the shouting...
Are yaar Abhi ye kya kiya tumne...
" Tum na eeekkkdduumm childish ho. Sab taka tumne nikala aur tumhara woh badtameez dost. Sab blame mera doctor pe daal diya !" The sister said. Daya rubbed his face with his other hands. Lagta hai kuch jyada hi ho gya subah. He was about to look for his mobile when Abhijeet and Tarika came in.
" Are Daya Kaisa hai ?" Abhijeet asked as now he had calmed down fully. " Lo naam liya shaitaan hair!" The sister said adjusting the flow of glucose. Tarika then looked at Daya to ask for answers but then Daya nodded so negatively that at moment only Tarika understood.
Dono ke Dono ne milke kuch na kuch Kand kiya hai...
" Aeyy mister ? Ab tumko kaunsi complaint karni hai ! Tum kayko aya wapas ?" The sister said. " Tum dono ne kya kiya hai , you idiots ?" Tarika said irritatingly to the two childish people in front of her. Daya was about to explain when the sister intervened again. " Kya nahi kiya ye pucho. Ab ye Mister ko Dr. Shreya ne Kal stitches lagaya tha. Ab unki kya Galti inhone bohot stretching kiya hoga toh nikal gye woh. Aur ye tumhara marad , itta chillaya subah ake yaha pe ki Jaise sari Galti Shreya madam ki hai !" The sister said. " Abhijeet ? Ye kya tareeka hai ?" Tarika said literally dumbfounded. " Ek ek ...ye Shreya kahase agyi bich me ?". Abhijeet asked. Then Daya explained him the whole situation. And Abhijeet literally slapped his forehead with his hand. In all that ruckus he didn't even care to read the doctor's name. And as the destiny had done the deed, Daya's doctor was no other than Shreya. Wow this was a whole new scene now.
" kabhi kisi doctor se aise baat krte hai kya ?" . Tarika said. " Are yaar ek min. Daya tu pagal hai kya tune mujhe roka kyu nahi ki woh Shreya hai krke ?" Daya then said , " Boss maine tumko aakho se kitna batane ka try kiya par tum ho ki !" Daya said. " Are toh muh me kya dahi jama ke rakha tha kya ?" Abhijeet scolded Daya. " Oye Tumhe chillane ki jarurat nahi. Tumhari wajahse hi ye sab hua hai !" ! Tumhe itti bhi akal nahi ki ek doctor se kaise baat krte hai ?" Tarika said angrily. She knew Abhineet was khadoos afterall but this kinda behaviour was outrageous. She then slapped Daya's hand angrily and said, " Tumhe itti bhi akal nahi ki stitches lagane ke baad bilkul bhi movement nahi krte. Kya jarurat thi Kal shooting range aur gym me Jane ki ?" Tarika now glared angrily at Daya. " Tum gym kyu gye the Kal ? Matlab stitches nikle Isme sari Galti tumhari hi thi ?" Abhijeet stood their dumbfounded. Now Daya dipped his face in guilt.
" Shreya madam ko kitna suffer karna pada Uske liye pata hai ?" The matreon said again. " Ek ..ek min. Shreya ko suffer karna pada Matlab ?" Daya saked with care clearly visible in his eyes. " Senior Doctor ne bohot data unko. Kyu ki chillane wale Sr. Inspector Abhijeet jo thehre!" The sister smirked with anger. " Woh bichari ladki toh shift ke mare 2 din se ghar bhi nahi gyi aur aaj uski firse night duty lagadi !" Matreon said. " Kitta bura hogya Abhijeet Uske sath !" Tarika said sitting on the stool. " Kitta time coffee pi pike kaam krega insan. Ye common man ko na humari toh fikar hi nahi hai !" The sister said and left the room. " Sister ! Ekbaar Dr. Shreya ko bhej dena na !" Tarika said in a very respectful voice. After all she was also from the same field !
The sister looked behind and said , " Tum Achcha Aurat lagta hai. Lekin Shreya Mam ko ye case se nikal diya. Aur abhi jo bhi matter karna hai bahar karo. Yaha nahi !". She then very calmy walked away.
" Sab gadbad ho gaya yaar !" Daya said. " Yahase discharge kab denge !" Daya said trying to walk free. " Ab tumhe samjhega ki me uss kyu boli ki tum Shreya se akele nahi miloge ?" Tarika said to Abhijeet. " Are yaar ho gyi Ab Galti!" Abhijeet. " Aur tum apne bhai ko nahi Jante ki ye bhi kisiki sunta hi nahi hai !" Tarika said pointing towards Daya. " Tum dono yaad rakho. Har jagah apna CID inspector ka gussa dikhana jaruri nahi. Aur nahi Takat dikhana jaruri hai. Mana ki tum log nek kaam krte ho Lekin baki duniya me Aise 100 log hai jo bhi nek kaam krte hai. I'm not demeaning your profession but don't demean mine. Ye kahaka logical hai. Mujhe toh soch ke panic hota hai ki Abhiheet kaise chillaya hoga upar!" Tarika said. She going again to say something when ACP Sir and Dr. Salunkhe barged from the door.
" Are Daya kaise ho ?" He asked very concerned. Daya looked at Tarika and she silently signaled to be quite about all the ruckus. " Thik hoon Sir!" Daya said. " Fredrciks aur Purvi aye the dopahar me. Toh unhone bola ki bohot gehre nind me hai !" Dr. Salunkhe said. " Dono ake gaye ? Mujhe to pata bhi nahi chala!" Daya said very shockingly. " Are Daya koi strong Dawai di hogi ! Tu kyu fikr kar raha hai !" Abhijeet said. " Haa aaj ki Raat Aram karlo. Hum nikalte hai Abhi. Kafi Waqt ho gaya !" Tarika said. And then finally everyone took a leave.
( In the car )
" Aap to naraj ho gyi Tarika Ji!" Abhijeet said. He was still not understanding the seriousness of the situation. " Agar Shreya ko leke chinta me ho Daya aur hum milke baat kar lenge. Usme kya hai ?!" Abhijeet said as he started the car. Tarika was still silent. The car engine roared and then Abhijeet looked at his wife. Perhaps something else was bugging her. So Abhijeet killed the engine and finally with a serious look at least to say said , " Kya baat hai Tarika ?". Tarika then very calmly looked tkwards him and said , " Abhijeet agar Ye mere hatho hota, Toh bhi tum yahi karte ?".
Ye sawal sunke toh Abhijeet ke pairon ke neeche ki Jameen hi fisal gyi.
" Abhi toh itna conclusion nikla Tarika ki ye doctor ki galti nahi thi. Toh fir me Aap pe kyu chillata ?" Abhijeet said. " Manlo Abhijeet, Isme Doctor ki galti agar rehti aur woh doctor me rehti toh kya tum mujhepe bhi ittahi chillate ?" Tarika asked again. " Stitches hai. Hojata hai. Kabhi kabar ekhad baar nikal jate hai. Kabhi kuch alag complications ajate hai. Toh kya tum mujh pe bhi itta hi chillate ?" Tarika asked again. " Bhala ye bhi koi puchne ki baat hai Tarika Ji. Me Aap pe kaise chillata !" Abhijeet said smiling. " Just because me tumhari wife isiliye na ?!" Tarika asked again. " Haa toh ?" Abhijeet said confidently.
" Abhijeet Pyar ke sath sath na respect bhi karna seekho. Because respect for each other goes a long way. " Tarika said. " Tarika Tumhe aisa nahi lag raha ki ye matter tum kuch jyada hi badha rahi ho !" Abhijeet said again. " Baat jarur choti hai Abhijeet Lekin tum uska impact dekho. Agar Senior Inspector Abhijeet karta hai toh barabar hi hoga. Doctor hi galat hogi. Are tumhari baat sunke toh wahake doctor ne doctor ka sath nahi diya!" Tarika said.
Now Abhijeet understood the situation. " Me bhi ek doctor hu Abhijeet. Just because me murdo se kaam rakhti hoon iska Matlab ye nahi ki I don't feel them. Sometimes I asked myself the same question. Why do I help people. And why do people think they own us just because they pay us meager amount of money ? And do you guys feel that this entitles to blame us to insult us when you ' assume ' we are wrong ?. "
Abhijeet sighed and said , " Tarika me khud Jake Shreya se maafi mang luga okay ? Woh bhi sabke samne !" . Tarika laughed. " She least cares about it okay. No doctor does. Lemme tell you a secret. There is this instinct , a sort of drive that comes in with this profession. And the moment when you guys don't stand up for when something wrong happens, this instinct dies and turns the passion into a daytime job."
" Don't worry ! Shreya doesn't need you. Nor does any other doctor. They'll get beat up, they'll take abuses or even push someone back if they need to do it in future." Tarika took a long pause.
She again continued, " But know this, you are always going to be judged by her , by others and by me...! For not standing up , For not doing enough. "
" Don't just respect me because I'm your wife. Respect yourself because you are married to a doctor !"
( Couple of Days later )
It was late night. Daya was still the bereau. Don't misunderstand this. There was no case reported. Nor there was any filing work. But Daya just didn't felt like going home. He was discharged 2 days back. And now he was completely fit. And he was doing jobs which put least amount of pressure on his hands.
Aur main chiz Matlab ye tha ki pichle 5 dino se Daya ne ek bhi darwaze nahi Toda tha...Bichare koi jagah hi nahi Bach gyi frustration nikalne ke liye...
Daya just pressed some keys on the keyboard. That too any random keys. Physically he was here and mentally he was far far away.
The way she held his everything she got scared in the movie... The way she hugged him when she got scared in the parking... The way she slapped his hand when he was trying to coffee over medicines...
Daya just relaxed his back and put his both arms behind his head to support it. He had tried to call her after that. Shreya was rude to him. But she wasn't good too. It would always be like Daya hospital me hi hoon thoda case ke bichme hoon. Baadme baat krti hoon. Maybe she was busy..may be was not. Pata nahi yaar kya scene hai toh. Daya then once decided that he'll go and meet her directly at the hospital. But then he didn't know what would he say and nor he knew how would she react.
Just the door of the bereau opened, And Abhijeet walked in. What was he doing at this hour or night ? Daya thought. " Boss tum yaha ?" He asked. " Haa me bas aisehi kuch bhul gaya tha !" Abhijeet lied. " Tum yaha itti Raat gye kya kar rahe ho ?" Abhijeet asked. " Me bas wohi...woh..kuch purani cases padh raha tha !" Daya lied. Both of them knew that they were lying to each other. " Shreya se baat hui tumhari ?" Abhijeet asked. Daya just nodded negatively. " Shyd Kal ho sakti hai. Jab aaj subah fone lagaya tha bol rahi thi Kal tak free hogi !" Daya said.
Daya took a deep breathe and said, " Jee karta hai na Abhijeet ! Tumpe itna gussa karu !". Abhijeet then looked towards Daya said , " Toh karo na bhai, waha Tarika gussa hai, yaha tum gussa ho jao, Shreya ko bhi bulalo ! Dr. Salunkhe ko hi kyu chodna hai unhe bhi bata dete hai." He was also really angry. " Tum bohot khadus ho Abhijeet. Par me Sirf isiliye gussa nahi kar raha kyu ki...!" Daya said and took a long pause. " Kyu ki shyd tumhari jagah me hota toh me bhi wohi krta!" Daya said finally speaking out his mind.
Abhijeet was shocked to hear this was an understatement. " Matlab ?" Abhijeet asked. " Boss pata nahi Matlab Abhi realize ho raha hai ki jaan anjaane me shyd maine Kitne logo ko hurt kiya honga. Sirf aur Sirf apne aggressive nature ki wajahse !" Daya said. " Tarika ne bhi mujhe yahi realize karwaya !" Abhijeet then said.
( Hospital )
Shreya finally wrapped her things up. She was done for the week. The night duty after all the fiasco that has happened was done. She was home for literally a few hours but then again she was called to report as some trauma had happened where there was mass casuality. There's a certain level of tiredness that equated to insanity; for her it was when she'd like to temporarily dislocate her spirit from body, as if she could ask God to take her out for just a short while, let my soul go wherever souls go to be zen. She was a fairly brave person, she was, but sometimes shs just didn't wanna feel the process of recovery all over again. She know she' ll wake up feeling okay in the morning, it's simply a level of worn-out-ness that hurt.
Daya had called everyday after he got the discharge but since Shreya was so busy. Her replies would mostly be like only. " Haa Daya ! Sab thik hai na ? Firse kuch problem toh nahi ? Thik hai me baad me baat karti hoo. Bas thoda busy hai aaj. Haa bohot emergency cases hai. TTYL!"
Shreya was a little shocked or surprised at what had happened the other day. Maybe she had expected something different from Abhijeet. But then again who was she to assume. Maybe he really had a bad day. Because hota hai yaar...
Kabhi kabar din hi itta bura jata hai ki chote chote matters pe bhi chingari udd jati hai. And this was not new for her. Every medical professional , be it a nurse, a ward boy or a doctor he or she had faced like this some day or other.
( Shreya's house )
" Shuk...shuk !" Somebody whispered in as low voice as they could. Perhaps they didn't want to disturb Shreya. She was sleeping so peacefully that she didn't care.
Jo koi bhi ho..me aaj aakh kholne se rahi...
" Shreya ?" She again heard someone say. " Please sone do yaar !" Shreya murmured in sleep. " Shreya. Its me !" The voice said again. " OK its me ji ! Good night !" Shreya said. " Are yaar me Daya !" Daya said shaking her a little bit. " Hmm !" . That's the only reply that came out Shreya. Now in order to reduce the noise all the more, Shreya just pulled over her blanket completely on the face.
Are yaar...Lady kumbhkaran...
Daya then shook her with a force. " Are yaar kya problem hai tumhara !" Shreya said getting up and rubbing her eyes. She still hadn't appreciated that It was Daya who had actually sneaked into her apartment. " Shreya !" Daya said again. Now Shreya acknowledged that maybe someone was actually standing besides her in her own apartment which wasn't supposed to be normal. She had locked her home from inside. Her hand that was rubbing her face now stopped and she slowly looked besides her.
" Aaaaahhhhhhh !" Shreya screamed at the top of her lungs like she had seen a horror movie. Daya also looked at her mortified..in sense ki kaunsa bhoot dekh liya isne. " Chillao mat. Uss horror movie se darawana nahi hoon me !" Daya said closing her mouth with his hands. Shreya was still screaming and now even had started throwing pillows at him. Daya now didn't know what to do.
" Shreya !" Daya said very calmy now.
And BAMM...another pillow hit him.
" Shreya ! Me Daya ...!" He said but even before completing his statement...
THUD...a water bottle that was kept on table hit him.
Ye Aise nahi manenge...
Daya then himself climbed on the bed and with one hand still on her mouth he enveloped Shreya with the other hand so as to stop her physical actions. But then she she started kicking him with her small legs. All though they weren't doing anything against the strong muscular body but Shreya still was trying her best. Finally giving in, Daya literally pulled her into his embrace.
" Shreya...Shant...It's okay...calm down..." Daya said finally. " Its okay...It's okay...Me Daya hu.. I won't harm you !" Daya said stroking her back. However these were not the things that calmed her down. As soon as Daya pulled her into his embrace, Shreya smelled his cologne. It was the same one she had experienced that day when Daya ne unn do logo ko pita tha. It was masculine but it also was soothing at the same time.
Finalllyyy, Finally...shant ho hi gyi...
" Calmed down ? Hath chod du ? Firse maarna nahi !" Daya asked still not relieving her. Shreya nodded forcefully and could only utter " Hmmm ". Daya then removed his hand from her mouth and then finally heaved sigh of relief. She was breathing heavily as if she had just survived a shock. Now both of them lay their in silence. Daya was sitting on his knees with his both hands up in the air as he had just left hold of Shreya. Shreya was sitting in Indian style however this time her head was still on Daya's chest...
Or perhaps his heart...where it was supposed to be...Coming back from the romantic cliche things, Perhaps she was still composing herself and maybe it was the sole place where she was able to compose herself. Okay okay we are again going back there. Oohh how much Daya wanted to get back and hug her because perhaps just as Shreya had found her solace perhaps he had found his calm. He knew that at this time it wasn't the right thing. Though he knew and accepted that day by day he was falling more into her , Shreya will take time. He knew that and was ready to wait for her to accept him. Oookkk again finally back to reality.
" Shreya !" Daya said with utmost compassion in his voice. That bought Shreya back to reality as well. And like a thud she raised her head back from his chest. Daya then stepped 2 steps back though on the bed only to give her some space. In a way , Daya was perhaps the most understanding and wisest guy Shreya had met. To break the awkward silence Daya asked, " Pani piyogi ?". And Shreya just nodded. She was still yet to come out from the moment where she couldn't understand what had transpired. Daya then passed the bottle to her. The same one with which Shreya had hit him.
Now the reality sunk in. What was Daya doing inside Shreya's bedroom. Wait she had locked the door from inside. Yaa fir nind me khula hi reh gaya. Nahi nahi itti irresponsible bhi nahi hoon ki darwaza khula chod ke so jao. " Aap yaha kya kar rahe ho ? Aur andar kaise ghuse ?" Shreya asked. " Mujhe jaruri baat krni thi !" Daya said. " Jaruri baat. Scared the hell out of me..and Jaruri baat karni hai !" Shreya said snatching the bottle out of his hands.
Yaar gussa karte samay kitni cute dikhti hai yaar ye...
Shreya opened the lid of the bottle and started gulping the water down like an elephant. " Are Aram se !" Daya said tilting the bottle a bit. He then held the bottle with his hand behind hers and said , " Aise dheere dheere piyo ! Khasi lag jaygi nahi toh !" Daya said.
Was Daya that caring ?
" Boss ye bas darwaze ka haal na puche. Ise kya pata ki darwaza merese khada nahi rehta karke !" Daya said to himself. So before she could again ask how he got inside , Daya counterasked. " Woh mujhe tumse jaruri baat karni hai ! Abhi !" Daya said with an urgency in his voice! Shreya knew that what he wanted to talk about. But she wasn't in a mood for that. She just wanted to sleep. " Itti Raat me baat karna. Possible hi nahi hai. Merko sone ka hai!" Shreya said completely avoiding the topic. " Itti Raat ? Lady kumbhakarn sham ke 7 baj rahe hai ! Aur tumhari akho se samajh raha hai ki tumhari nind udd chuki hai !" Daya said. Shreya looked at him with angry glare. " Tumne mujhe kumbhakaran kaha ?". Shreya asked anger clearly visible in her eyes. " Kabhi khudko sote hue Dekha hai ? Are maine lashe tumse jyada zinda dekhi hai !" Daya said.
" Aeeyy mister , listen tum CID inspector honge Lekin apne bureau me aur apne un laasho ke samne. Merepe Raub mat chadhao. Kya...kya...kya samajh ke jya rakha hai. Jab chahiye tab chilla doge. Jab chahiye tab ghar me ghusoge. Jab chahiye tab sorry bologe. Aisa nahi chalega. Mera baat krne ka mood nahi hai. Merko bohot kaam hai !" Shreya said in a fighting tone. It was as if she was ready to fight with Daya pushing his every button.
Shreya then got up from the bed and went into the washroom. She came back minutes later wiping her face and changing into some jeans and t-shirt. When she came out Daya's face had became a little serious and stricter. To be honest Shreya ko laga ki shyd usne thoda jyada hi bol diya. In fact Daya had never heard Shreya talk like that. " Shreya...mana ki jo hua thik nahi hua Lekin me aaya hoon na baat krne ke liye ! Itta bachpana dikhana jaruri hai kya ?" Daya asked. Now even Shreya became serious. She knew how these conversation ended. They always ended talking too deep. And perhaps she had started oversharing. And that's why she was just scared to talk more.
" Daya mujhe sahime kaam hai. Woh bhi urgent !" Shreya said. Dayabknew that she was lying blatantly. " Kaun Shreya kaam. Chalo me bhi chalta hoon."
Are yaar...ye toh piche hi pad gaya...
" Ladkiyon wale kaam hai. Dress designer ke pass chaloge ? Waha jana hai !" Shreya said trying so hard to get rid of him. " Chalo !" Daya said getting up from his bed. He straightened his clothes and walked past her. " Ugghhh !" Shreya said in frustration. When Daya was walking past by her he whispered in a husky voice, " Agar tumhe lagta hai ki tum jiddi ho, toh tumne mujhe dekha hi nahi hai. Isiliye behtar hai ki baat Maan jao !" Daya said that almost sent shivers down her spine.
Thankfully while leaving the house , The door had an outside latch which was unbroken. That's why Shreya didn't notice what was wrong. She was now under the notion that maybe in sleep she forgot to lock the door properly.
( In the car )
Daya laughed a little on the insides. " Itti hasi kyu aa rahi hai ?" Shreya asked still angered. She was not going to let her guard down today. " Ye tumhara dress designer hai ?" Daya asked just to be sure. " Haa toh ! Koi problem ?" Shreya said. " Nahi..koi Problem nahi...Lekin humari language me Ise darji kehte hai !" Daya said completely making fun of her. This triggered Shreya more. " Me sophisticated hoon. Hum Ise designer boutique kehte hai !" Shreya said. " Jao bhai apne designer ke pass Jake aao. Raaste me kuch next ' urgent ' kaam yaad ata hai toh dekhna. Aisa na ho ki koi kaam yaad nahi aye toh baat krni pade !" Daya said sarcastically. The whole car ride passed almost in silence. Daya tried to talk some but the only response he got was Haa, nahi , Hmmm and okay. In the end he had finally given up.
" Kaki ka kaam hai. Mandir me jana hai kuch Saman dene hai." Shreya said as she got out of her car. Daya kept a watch on her from distance. She was talking to some lady inside the store. Looking at fabrics and then looking at some more fabrics. Daya was feeling a little humid so he also got out of the car and stood by his door taking its support. He could then see that her work was almost done and she was just looking at some things. Jewellery of some sort he guessed. Finally she was out and in the car again.
Daya was also about get inside when suddenly Abhijeet called. Shreya waited for his call to end. After about 10 mins Daya came back and asked, " Toh chale mandir !". Shreya just nodded and off they went.
( The temple )
The temple was the one that kaki frequently visited. And perhaps Shreya too. Because as soon as they had entered some of the preists form the temple recognized Shreya. It was a place where ethereal divine cores became steady and resonated with the good. Shreya touched the floor with her hands on the stairs and started climbing them. When she reached the inner sanctum she just bowed her head in front of the divine majesty.
Daya just looked looked at her from the side ways. She looked like pure magic.
" Shreya...?" Daya said while she was still praying. " Hmmm... ?" Shreya said not opening her eyes. " Itna bhi kya gussa ki baat bhi nahi karogi !" Daya again said trying to convince her. " Abhi toh aapne mera gussa Dekha hi kaha hai. Kal hi Dr. Sharma se baat krke ethical case karne wali hoon me !" Shreya said. She then bent down to touch her forehead. Daya did the same too. While her head was still touching the floor , Daya spoke again. " Shreya ! Mandir me jhooth nahi bola karte!" . Shreya became a little restless on hearing that.
" Khair...Tumhe legally hi age badhane toh thik hai. Waise Abhijeet gaya tha Dr. Sharma se maafi mangne. Woh toh tumhe bhi waha milna chahta tha par abhi tum mere sath ho ye usko pata nahi tha."
Are yar ye har baar me kyu inke piche fas jati hoon. Kya pata Ab Dr. Sharma ne kya btaya hoga...
" Daya , Ghar jana hai mujhe!" Shreya said. " Bhaag rahi ho ! Par kabtak bhagogi. Thik hai. Chalte hai ghar. Socha tha tumse maafi mangunga. But koi nahi. Let's leave!" Daya said. Both of them proceeded towards the car. Daya opened the door for Shreya. As Shreya was about to go inside, Daya pulled her out and with his mere hand turned her around. Yes...Daya was a strong guy afterall.
Now Shreya was essentially trapped between the car and Daya with a very little space to move around. On her left side was the opened car door. While on the right side there was Daya's hand. Strong , muscular with half folded sleeves. Her breathing increased. " Daya ye kyaa kar rahe ho ? Koi dekh lega !" Shreya said trying to break free. But Daya stopped her and pushed her on the car again. " Koi nahi dekhega yaha !" Daya said. He then went to the retrieve his mobile from his pocket, pushed some buttons and something started playing.
It was phone recording of some sorts.
Shreya couldn't recognize the voice at first. But then it dawned upon her that it was Abhijeet's voice. Here's what it said...
" Are Daya yaar...Me gaya tha hospital. Shreya to mili nahi par Dr. Sharma se milke aya. Socha thoda matter clear kar du. Maine unko maafi maagi but he was like ki Shreya ne bola ki sab uski hi galti thi. Usne seedhe seedhe aisa statement diya hai ki Isme patient ki koi Galti nahi thi..."
The voice said and Daya paused it.
Well the cat was out of thr bag now. Dr. Sharma ne sari hi pol khol di. Gyi bhais Pani me.
Daya then removed his hand that and sort of freed Shreya. " Haa toh hum kaha thi ! Tum ethical case krne wali thi ! Hai na ? Right ?" Daya said. " Haa woh me...!" Shreya said some broken words. She didn't have anything to say now.
" Me kya karti Daya. Uss din jab ye sab matter khatam hua toh wahake log mujhe bol rahe the ki ye matter dabne mat dena. Woh chahte the ki ye sab ethical committee ke pass jaye hospital ke. Aur agar me woh hone deti toh Sr. Inspector Abhijeet pe shyd harassment ki case hojati. Aur ekbaar harassment ki case ho jane ke baad aapko bhi pata hai ki haal kya hota hai toh. Toh fir mujhe kuch sujha nahi. Aur mujhe pata tha ki aap log waha jaoge aur bologe ki ye meri Galti thi hi nahi. Toh fir maine hi waha written statement de diya sign krke ki I'm solely responsible." Shreya said too fast without even taking a breathe. It was clear that she just wanted to loosen up now.
Daya just looked down now. Even he didn't understand what to say now. " Kyu ? Aisa kyu kiya ?" Daya asked with a little bit of anger. " Me kya karti Daya. Aapne hi uss din kaha tha ki Abhijeet aapki zindagi me sabse upar hai. Toh me nahi chahti thi ki itne chote se mamle ka itta bada issue ban jaye aur usme aapke bhai fas jaye. Mana ki galti thi aapki yaa Aap dono ki par itti bhi badi nahi thi ki me itti bhi understanding naa dikhau." Shreya said.
" Toh jab me tumse baat karne aya tha , tab bata nahi sakti thi clearly ? Tab kyu itne gusse ka natak kar rahi thi ?" Daya asked literally like a inspector. " Woh mujhe uss din ke pub ka badla lena tha...aur baadme thoda thoda maja bhi ane lag gaya tha...!" Shreya said with a cutest little face. " Bhagwan kaise kaise log hai meri zindagi me. Sabko superhero banna rehta hai !" Daya said looking at the sky.
" Nahi uss din me gym jata nahi Abhijeet itna chillata..." Daya was saying when suddenly Shreya stopped him. " Daya chod dijiye na. Gussa nahi tha woh aapke liye unki fikar thi. Kabhi kabhi na jo emotions dikhte hai na woh nahi hote...Asli emotions pata chalna yahi sabse badi baat hai. Aur sanjog yuh bana ki aapka case maine handle kiya tha. Agar meri jagah koi aur hota toh abhi tak kya hojata sochiye...Aur..." Shreya said and took a long pause.
Daya just admired at her maturity. He would have never guessed that Shreya was this mature from inside if he had never spent time with her or got to know her.
" Aur ?" Daya asked. Shreya looked down blushing and said, " Aur mujhe bhook lagi hai. Maine kal dopahar se kuch nahi khaya !" Shreya said very adorably. Daya just laughed.
Unke ajubaju ke log sahime me ek se badh kar ek namoone the...
But there was thus big smile on his face...afterall...
It is so so lucky to find a person who knows all the love behind that anger...Hai ki nahi ??
