Two months passed, Daya had lost his full sight. He locked himself into the house; A complete shut-in. He had cut-off all of his social activities. But he never tried to drag Abhijeet down with himself. Abhijeet was going to Bureau like usual and meeting his friends and all; Daya never tried to interfere in his life. He tried not to be a burden to his brother; but he always considered himself a burden which cannot be easily relieved. Everyday he spent in his house staring sightlessly at the walls.
Today was also like usual Daya was at home with nothing to do while Abhijeet was in Bureau.
Daya talking to himself: mjhe kuch samajh nhi aa raha ab kya karun… (praying) bhagwan please meri mushkil asaan kr do… mukhti dy do mjhe esi zindagi sy… mai or bojh bn k jeena nahi chahta Abhi pe… wo to kabhi apny munh sy kahy ga nahi lekin mjhe pata hai mai usky uper kitna bara bojh bn chuka hun… mai to apny routine k kaam bhi theek sy kr nhi pata uski help k bina… usper extra burden par gaya hai… sara din Bureau mai kaam krta hai raat ko thaka hara ghar aata hai or ghar aa kr meri seva krta hai… kb tak aakhir kb tk esa chaly ga… mai nhi chata k ussy meri waja se preshani ho… (helplessly) mai to apny aapko khud mukhti bhi nhi dila skta (looking at the fresh unhealed scar on his left hand) qasam jo di hai Boss ny… (he remembered what happened a week ago)
Flashback
Abhijeet entered home at 10 o'clock in the night. A case had Kept him busy and he came home after capturing the murderers. He found the whole house in the dark. He switched the lights on and entered Daya's room. His room was empty but washroom's lights were on. He thought that Daya might be in the washroom. He sat down on his bed to relax his stiff body when his eyes caught a glimpse of a paper lying on the side table. He grabbed and started to read it.
" Dear Abhi

Love you Boss

After reading the note Abhijeet was dumbstruck on his place. He let the paper fall from his hand and tried to open the washroom door. When Daya didn't open the door Abhijeet broke the door. The scene inside shocked him to the core. Daya was lying beside the washbasin his left hand was bleeding and a blade was present in his right hand. Abhijeet hurriedly checked his sinus and found that it was slow. He just rushed him to the hospital. Doctors were able to save him.
Rahul angrily: Kiya hai yeh sb Abhijeet…

Daya slowly opened his sightless eyes and felt a love filled touch on his paining hand: Abhi…
Abhijeet freed his hand. Daya anxiously: Abhi kahan… kahan ja rhy ho tum…
