Abhijeet woke up Daya: Daya uth ja… (but Daya just turned on the other side with a little hmmm) Daya uth ja late ho raha hai na…
Daya: hmmmm… (sleey) uth'ta hun… (covered himself with blanket)
Abhijeet again removed the blanket from his face: please Daya uth jao sarhy sath bj rhy hain… hummy pehly Rahul k pass jana hai na… phir Bureau bhi jana hai uth jao…
Listening to the hospital's name Daya sat up and looked at Abhijeet with worried eyes: Hospital… (Abhijeet nodded) Abhi sb theek ho jaye ga na yaar…
Abhijeet made space beside Daya and sat there; he held Daya's hands in his own (who downed his head)and said in firm tone: haan sb theek ho jaye ga… ( He felt a drop fell on his hand, he made Daya look at him) yeh kiya haan, yeh aansu kis liye…
Daya shook his hand in no: nhi bs, esy he…
Abhijeet sighed and cleaned his eyes: uhun… in ansuon ki koi zaroorat nhi hai, kyun k sb theek ho jaye ga…
Daya with a hope: pakka…
Abhijeet smiled: pakka… the oata hai na mai jhuth nhi bolta… (hmmm) to phir kyun dar raha hai maine kaha hai na sn theek ho jaye ga…(cheerily) to ab jaldi tyar hona hai na… (Daya nodded) to phir jaldi sy tyar ho k neechy a ja mai nashta bna raha hun…
Abhijeet prepared breakfast, he was making tea side by side he was continuously trying to call someone but he wasn't picking up the phone. So he dialed another number, which was picked up almost immediately.
Abhijeet: haan hello, Freddie…
Freddie: Good Morning Sir…
Abhijeet: Good Morning…
Freddie: G sir, apny itni subah call ki sb theek hai na…
Abhijeet after thinking something: haan wo mjhe kehna tha aaj Bureau aany mai late ho jaye ga Daya or mujhe… tum Sir ko bta dena wo call nhi receive kr rhy…
Freddie understandingly: theek hai sir, (trying to voice his thoughts) wo to mai bata dunga, lekin sb theek hai na sir… koi pareshani? apki awaaz sy lag raha hai k aap pareshan hain…
Abhijeet thanked God for giving him precious comrades, who care about them unconditionally: sb theek hai Freddie, (before hearing a reply) or agar kuch bhi pareshani hui to tumhy he bataun ga…
Freddie: theek hai sir, jb apko theek lagy bta dijiyega, yaad rakhiye ga k hum hain, apki hr pareshani share krny k liye…
Abhijeet: bilkul, esa he hai… tum log ho iss liye to be fikar hun, mjhe maalom hai tum sb sambhal lo gy…
Freddie: yes sir… aap befikar ho jayein Bureau ki taraf sy…
Abhijeet saw Daya descending the stairs: Ok phir, Bye…
Daya sat on the dining while Abhijeet laid off the breakfast on the table: kiska phone tha…
Abhijeet: Freddie ko kiya tha btany k liye k aj late ho jaye ga aany main to sb sambhal lay…
Daya nodded and they started breakfast in silence, both lost in the world of thousands of thoughts.
Rahul's Cabin
Rahul was going out of his cabin when met DUO on the gate.
Rahul surprised: arrey tum log achanak…
He again came inside now with his friends. Nobody spoke for a while, Rahul glanced at both and finally asked.
Rahul: kiya hua esy chup chap kyun bethy ho, sb theek hai na…
Abhijeet sighed and started to speak. He narrated whole without missing a single detail. All the time Daya was looking down, he was hell scared.
Rahul after listening everything immediately picked the receiver without saying anything to them and dialed a number.
Rahul: hello, khushi Dr. Farhan Khan a gaye hain…
Khushi: nhi sir, 1 ghanty tk ayein gy…
Rahul: Abhi 8:45 huye hain unki first appointment kis time hai?
Khushi after checking on the monitor before her: sir 10:30 pr first appointment hai Dr. Farhan ki…
Rahul: theek hai to phir tum 10 bjy ki meri appointment likh do or unhy inform bhi kr do kehna it's urgent…
Khushi: yes sir…
Rahul put the phone down and looked at both of them who were silently watching him: Dr. Farhan Khan hummary hospital k sbsy bary ophthalmologist hain… or khush kismati sy humary achi banti hai, warna unka appointment leny k liye log do do mahiny pehly sy time lety hain… maine aj he ki appointment ly li hai…
Abhijeet nodded: lekin yeh sb kiya hai Rahul kyun ho raha hai, koi to wajah hogi na…
Rahul sighed: yeh sb to Dr. Farhan he bta skty hain theek sy lekin jahan tk mera khyal hai iss sbka taluq Daya ki uss chot sy hai jo qareeban pandrah din pehly lagi thi…
Abhijeet put his hand on the trembling hands of Daya, worriedly: lekin wo to itna gehra zakham nhi tha aab to theek bhi ho gaya hai.
Rahul again repeated the same thing: mai kuch nhi keh skta, theek sy Dr Farhan he btayein gy… (tried to encourage them) sb theek ho ga Don't worry…
But they were extremely tensed. The hour felt like eternity, they felt like the time was passing with snail's speed at last the clock struck 10:07 AM and the phone rang in the silent cabin.
Rahul hurriedly picked up the phone: hello...
Khushi: Sir Dr apko bula rhy hain…
Rahul said OK,now he turned his attention to them: chalo Dr a gaye hai…
Abhijeet stood up but Daya preferred staying glued ro his seat, Abhijeet sighed and pressed his shoulder encouragingly: chalo Daya…
Daya stood up and they followed Rahul.
After taking some turns around the corridors they reached the desired place.
They entered inside. Rahul greeted the Dr with a warm smile and a good shake hand. After that introduced his officer friends to the Dr.
Dr: Is everything Ok Dr. Rahul?
Rahul: No Dr. (He explained everything to him with the conclusions he draw from observations) aap btaye Dr what is the problem?
Dr Farhan nodded: Ok to Mr. Daya aap please ayein mere sath… (Daya looked Abhijeet, who nodded positively. Daya went to the examination table with Dr.) Please sit here…
Daya sat on the table. Dr flashed his torch in his eyes. Asked him a few questions. He also took a look at his head wound he gained a few days back. After 15 minutes of examination, he and Daya returned.
Dr Farhan seriously wrote something on the paper: yeh kuch tests hain, or MRI jo aap krwa lain usky baad he mai kuch daw'wy sy keh skta hun…
Rahul tried to ask something from him but again he said same thing: Dr Rahul jitna jaldi ho sky aap tests krwa lain…
Rahul nodded and formally shook hands with him: Thank you Doctor…
Dr just gave him a smile.
They again arrived in the Rahul's cabin.
Rahul: chalo Daya ao hum tests krwa lety hain...
Daya being afraid of needles and tests: mjhe koi tets nhi krwany…
Rahul sighed and looked at Abhijeet: Daya idher dekh meri taraf… (he turned his face towards himself) tu yeh test karwaye ga… (Daya shook his head in no) please apny liye na sahi to mere liye he sahi…
After some more emotional talking he agreed. He was taken inside the room where his tests were going to be taken. Abhijeet waited outside. It took more than 2 hours to get the tests done.
Abhijeet to Rahul: kb ayein gi reports?
Rahul: kl shaam ko a jana… jb koi bhi medicine mt use krna jo maine pehly di thi wo bhi nai…
Daya: theek hai…
They left waiting for the piece of paper which would decide their future.
