Mumbai…

DUO's Home…

DUO entered in the lounge to find CID family impatiently waiting to see their Abhijeet alive and awakened, who was looking really nervous and puzzled, not knowing how to meet them… Where seeing them coming in front of them, Freddy instantly stood up to rush ahead when…

ACP sir in composed way, just not to make Abhijeet uncomfortable, as he did not recognize anyone of them, stopped him with: Fredricks…!

Freddy stopped right there and looked at him in hurt and then towards his Abhijeet sir in helplessness, who in confused-nervousness looked towards both and…

Abhijeet in hesitant smile, greeted them with: Hello…!

They nodded him in smiles while composing themselves, not to meet him overwhelmingly because of knowing well that it won't end up well, hence…

ACP sir initiated in light smile as: Kaisy ho tum Abhijeet…?

Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Main theek hoon… Thank you… Aap log sb, theek hain…?

ACP sir nodded softly with: Hmm, hum log bhi sb ab theek hain bilkul…

Daya asked in soft tone to Abhijeet as: Abhi, tum yahan CID family k paas baitho gy please, main thori daer mein aata hoon…

Abhijeet instantly shook his head while clutching his hand with: Nahin, tum yahin raho…

ACP sir seconded him with: Abhijeet sahi keh raha hai Daya, yahin rukko tum… (Daya tried to say something when ACP sir added in composed-strict tone as…) Hum log pehli baar nahin aaye yahan tou humien mehmano ki tarhan treat kerny ki zarort nahin hai… (Daya in light-embarrassed smile moved his head down while giving him a node where ACP sir turned towards Tasha with…) Tasha, tum aur Vivek kuchh time k liye host bn jao, please…

The two nodded in light smiles and then left towards the kitchen where Abhijeet, who had already freed Daya's hand, was really amazed seeing all that while Daya wearing light smile was now sitting beside him on the couch when trying to listen more from his Abhijeet sir…

Freddy asked him as: Sir, aap Mussoorie sy aaye hain tou aap ko tou yahan garmi lgti ho gi na…?

And in return he got no reply, making him confused where Abhijeet was also confused feeling gazes turning towards himself so…

Abhijeet, thinking that the "Sir" might miss-heard, said to ACP sir in innocent tone as: Sir, woh aap ko… bula rahy hain…

A light smile got appeared on ACP sir's face and…

ACP sir replied him softly as: Mujhy nahin Abhijeet, Freddy tumhien bula raha hai…

Abhijeet looked towards Freddy in shocked-confusion as: Aap mujhy sir… bula rahy hain…?

Freddy, though was hurt listening such formal way of talk from the latter but composing himself in time, nodded slightly with: Jee sir, aap ko main, Vivek aur Tasha, sir bulaty hain…

Abhijeet nodded hesitantly and then looked towards Daya, looking uncomfortable, so…

Daya softly wrapped his hand in his both hands with: Tum senior ho inn teeno k… (Added lightly while trying to relax him with…) Wasey tou mairy bhi senior ho tum, lekin main tumhien sir nahin bulata… (In flow…) Main tou tumhien Boss… (And getting stopped right there, he looked towards Abhijeet fearing for some restlessness from his side but seeing him sitting there calmly though confused on that sudden silence, Daya cleared his throat while continuing and diverting the topic with…) Abhi tumhara Dr. Salunkhy sy tou introduction hua hi nahin…

Abhijeet, who was not at-all excited after listening "Doctor", with raised eyebrow, asked from his younger one as: Doctor…?

A light smile crept on Daya's face, knowing the meaning of that one-word query very well, so he replied in light tone as: Tumhary doctor nahin hain yeh, sir CID k doctor hain… (Signalled Abhijeet towards Dr. Salunkhy with…) CID Forensic expert, Dr. Salunkhy…

Abhijeet gave him a small smile while greeting him with a head node, who responded back in small smile while in the meantime, Vivek and Tasha returned from the kitchen, diverting Abhijeet's attention towards them… And after serving tea to all and placing the snacks' plates on the table, the two too grabbed their seats and…

Vivek said smilingly as: Sach mein sir, aap dono ko yahan wapis daikh k itni khushi ho rahi hai na mujhy k btta bhi nahin sakta…

Tasha seconded him with: Sirf tumhien nahin Vivek, hum sb ko bohut khushi ho rahi hai… (Turned towards DUO with…) Ab bs jaldi sy sir log wapis Bureau aa jaien, bs…

Daya giving her a smile, turned towards his brother listening…

Abhijeet's confused murmur as: Bureau…? Hum, Bureau…? Freddy…?

When fearing he would give much pressure on his brain…

Daya softly pressed his shoulder while bringing him back with: Abhi…! (Abhijeet's trance got broken who looked towards him in question where Daya added smilingly as…) Tum chae tou pii nahin rahy, thandi ho rahi hai na woh…

Abhijeet nodded while trying to compose himself while taking a sip where, ACP sir, who was seeing that all in silence turned towards Dr. Salunkhy and…

ACP sir asked him as: Salunkhy, hum logon ny Abhijeet k liye jo exercise machine bnwae hai, woh kb tk pohanch rahi hai…?

Dr. Salunkhy, after glancing over his wrist watch, replied as: Bs Boss, panch saat minute mein pohanch rahi hai…

ACP sir nodded where…

Abhijeet called out silently as: Daya…!

Daya looked towards him with: Hmm…?

Abhijeet asked in confused manner with: Tum mujhy Boss… bulaty ho na…?

Daya cleared his throat while trying to figure out what to reply when…

ACP sir's calm voice rose as: Haan Abhijeet, Daya aksr bulata hai tumhien easey…

Daya looked towards ACP sir in worry and then towards his brother in tension where…

Abhijeet asked, getting more confused as: Tou ab kyun nahin bulaty…?

Daya, just averted his gaze, not getting any valid reply where…

ACP sir, who was already updated about the today's morning happening by Daya, replied in light smile as: Kyun k tumhary bhai ko tumhari bohut chinta hai, baita…

Abhijeet replied in innocent smile as: Chinta tou aap sb… logon ko hi hai na, mairi…?

ACP sir nodded in soft smile as: Hmm, hai tou, lekin shaid humari chinta kerny ka style thora different hai…

And before he could continue, Vivek's mobile ring tone broke their conversation and Vivek looking at the caller ID, attended the call and soon…

Vivek after keeping the caller on hold, turned towards ACP sir with: Sir woh, van waly ki hi call hai, woh society mein aa gaya hai, main bahir ja k daikhta hoon…

And receiving a node from ACP sir, he left from there where…

ACP sir said smilingly as: Chalo Abhijeet, tum Freddy aur Tasha k sath tumhary room mein jao baita, aur ja k woh jagah decide ker lo jahan tum "Treadmill" rakhwana chahty ho, hmm…

Abhijeet, who was looking a little comfortable and relax now in their company, gave him a slow-silent node and giving an assuring smile to Daya, he left towards his room, followed by Freddy and Tasha…

After the three had left, ACP sir turned his complete attention towards Daya, who had already got that thing that ACP sir had sent them deliberately from there where…

ACP sir asked him in straight tone as: Tum ny pehly bhi Abhijeet ki sochon ko iss tarhan sy interrupt kia hai kya, Daya…? (And receiving only silence with a downward mode head, ACP sir inhaled deeply with…) Daya main samjhta hoon baita k tumhien Abhijeet ki chinta hai aur issi liye tum iss tarhan ussy interrupt ker rahy ho lekin tum yeh kyun nahin samjh rahy k jb tk tum ussy khud ko pehchan'nny nahin doo gy, woh kaisy pehchan paye ga khud ko…?

Daya nodded slowly with: I am sorry sir, main aagy sy dihan rakhon ga iss baat ka…

ACP sir nodded in firm manner with: Hmm, main bhi tum sy issi baat ki umeed kerta hoon, Daya… (Taking a momentary pause, added as…) Wasey main aaj Abhijeet ki service gun aur badge bhi laya hoon sath mein… (Daya looked up at ACP sir with jerk but couldn't speak anything after receiving that firm gaze fixed on himself… Where he concluded as…) Abhijeet aik baar chalny mein thora comfortable ho jaye tou phir tum bhi wapis Bureau join kro aur uss ko bhi sath ly k aao…

Daya gave him a reluctant node though couldn't say anything and all three turned their attentions towards the entrance to find Vivek coming inside with the labourers and hence the three too stood up and they all left inside Abhijeet's room where after making few alterations in the setting of the room, they placed the Treadmill near the window, on the place, Abhijeet had selected for the machine, so now whenever Abhijeet would be doing his exercise, he could enjoy the outside view too, not getting bored…

Where after getting freed from the labourers' side, Dr. Salunkhy turned towards Abhijeet and started explaining him how it works as because of Abhijeet's health, they had custom-made it, making few alterations, as they had manually fixed a chair on it so that if not walking, then at least Abhijeet's legs would remain in movement, then there was airbag attached within it which would pop-up in case of some jerk, preventing Abhijeet from any big injury, especially from hitting his face with the treadmill in case he would slip, losing his balance, and few other alterations, keeping in view their loved one's needs and safety, of course…

After explaining him the whole, they all moved back in the lounge where they remained busy in their talks for next few minutes when soon, bidding bye to them, they left towards their Bureau where ACP sir had left Abhijeet's service gun and badge with Daya…

After seeing the family off and locking the main door, Daya left towards the lounge, following Abhijeet, who grabbed a magazine where Daya got busy in clearing the things off…

Soon entering inside the kitchen, Daya got busy there, arranging all the things and after around half-an-hour, getting freed from all chores when he returned in the lounge, found Abhijeet missing from there so he directly made his way in Abhijeet's room to find him engrossed in his note-pad and pen…

Daya at first was going to interrupt his thoughts again but then stopping in his way, he just inhaled a deep breath and silently praying from god, left from there towards the store room, where Tasha and Vivek had placed all DUO's photos as was told by Tasha today, when he asked her…

Soon Daya returned in the lounge, grabbing that travelling bag having their photos inside and taking them out from there, got busy in placing them to where they belonged, as was instructed very firmly by his fatherly figure…

After getting freed from the lounge, Daya was present in his own room from last few minutes when turned his neck towards he door listening some voice to find Abhijeet coming inside, and worried-scared feeling had shadowed Daya's heart seeing Abhijeet looking around keenly and confusingly when…

Abhijeet while turning his gaze back towards Daya, asked him as: Yeh bahir lounge mein bhi… humari pictures, yahan bhi… (Told him in helpless-worried manner as…) Mujhy yaad nahin… aa raha, Daya… Aur ab drr lg raha hai…

Daya, who had already composed himself, coming close to him, in silent smile got seated in front of him and securing his hand in his own…

Daya told him in soft tone as: Drrny ki zarort nahin hai Abhi, kuchh yaad nahin aa raha tou na sahi, preshan hony ki bhi zarort nahin hai… (Softly placed his hand on his cheek with…) Samey doo khud ko please, sb theek ho jaye ga, hmm…

Abhijeet nodded slightly and after looking around in the room, turning his gaze back towards his younger brother…

Abhijeet asked him innocently as: Mairy room mein bhi… lgao gy na thori si pictures, please…

A sweet chuckled escaped from Daya's mouth and placing a soft kiss on Abhijeet's hand…

Daya told him smilingly as: Main tumhien bohut miss kerny wala hoon, Abhi…

Abhijeet asked him confusingly as: Matlab…?

Daya slightly shook his head with: Kuchh nahin… (Stood up with…) Chalo, tumhary room mein lgaty hain ab pictures…

Abhijeet nodded cutely and after grabbing the bag, both left in Abhijeet's room where Daya got busy in his work there and Abhijeet remained busy in his', that was of course, supervising the younger one…

Soon Abhijeet's room came back in its previous form, having a number of DUO's photos present in his room and after completing his work…

Daya turned towards Abhijeet with: Lo bhae Abhi, ho gaya tumhara room, bilkul pehly jaisa set… (Abhijeet nodded still looking around at the photos, looking engrossed when being helpless in front of his scare, unintentionally Daya again interrupted him with…) Abhi, tum ny ab tk mujhy iss treadmill ko use ker k tou dikhaya hi nahin yar…

Abhijeet looked at him with: Krien…?

Daya instantly nodded with: Bilkul…

Abhijeet nodded in small smile while moving forward where Daya followed him… When reaching near the Treadmill, Daya getting seated beside it, unclipped the platform from one side on which the chair was present, which was acting like a small gate now, so just like we open the door, Daya slid back the platform having the chair on it… And then helping Abhijeet in getting seated on it, Daya first tied waist belt around Abhijeet as a safety measurement and then smoothly slid the chair on its previous place… Clipping the platform there, he moved the chair a little ahead, away from the platform, and clipping it there, so that now Abhijeet's feet were present on the treadmill carpet, Daya stood up and turned the treadmill on, on the minimum speed…

And seeing Abhijeet was doing it fine, though slowly, Daya too got seated beside him while facing him, making him busy with himself in casual talks…

Time was passing by, just like that and today around two weeks had passed since DUO returned in Mumbai… During all that time, no one was forcing Abhijeet to give pressure on his brain though all were coming in front of him regularly, talking with him casually, on casual random topics…

Where Abhijeet was improving slowly, getting random flashbacks of his past in the form of dreams which, after waking up, he used to share with Daya who was continuously relaxing him after telling the whole truth linked with that particular dream, avoiding any chance of Abhijeet, himself try to figure out the mystery and instead of getting the clear picture, got another severe headache stroke… Abhijeet was now using his treadmill while standing with the help of the rods present on the either side and he was much fluent in his talks now, sometimes sharing his thoughts in different cases too, as ACP sir in particular, used to discuss light cases with him, trying to keep him in…

Today's evening, like every other day, DUO were sitting on the terrace while grabbing their juice glasses and sipping from it, enjoying the breeze in silence when Daya randomly turned his gaze towards Abhijeet and his casual expressions instantly got changed from relaxed to worried and placing his glass aside…

Daya softly placed his hand on Abhijeet's shoulder with: Ab…

But before he could complete, the latter jerked away his hand with force, while trying to hit the glass on his face though Daya managed well in time to move back but the juice had fallen on him when…

Daya tried to clutch Abhijeet's wrist, who was continuously shouting like, "Paas na aana… Maar dun ga" type rash comments while vigorously waving his hands and as Daya was very much careful not to hurt him as the glass was still in his tightly closed fist and there were chances that he could hit himself with that, it was getting difficult for Daya to calm down Abhijeet when finally…

Daya managing to clutch Abhijeet's wrist, using a little force, took out the glass from his hand who was continuously hitting him with his free hand while trying to free his hand and in his all that shouting and angry comments, he was unable to listen the latter's voice when, placing the glass aside…

Daya grabbed Abhijeet's both wrists and being a little louder so that his voice could reach at the latter's ear, called Abhijeet's name for few times, when finally seeing Abhijeet calming down slowly, Daya kept on consoling him while trying to make him realize where he was present and who he was sitting with, when Abhijeet after looking around, looked back at his brother, breathing heavily where Daya's expressions instantly changed from worried to scared and freeing his both wrists, he hurriedly secured his head in his hands, who went unconscious while resting his face on his younger one's palm…

Daya called him a few times but the latter did not respond so getting really tensed, Daya after shifting him in his room, hurriedly dialled ACP sir's number and as soon as the call got attended, he narrated him the whole…

After around twenty minutes, oldie DUO were present in DUO's home and Dr. Salunkhy after examining Abhijeet, turned towards Daya, who was looking really tensed and worried where…

Dr. Salunkhy said as: Mujhy Pradyuman ny btaya rasty mein k kya hua tha… (Taking a pause, added as…) Daya easa lgta hai k Abhijeet ki beeti zindagi ab sapny sy nikal k sach mein samny aa rahi hai iss k… (Seeing the confused gaze on himself, he elaborated as…) Abhijeet ko apni bhooli hue zindagi k hallucinations ho rahy hain…

Daya looked at him in real shock where…

ACP sir told him as: Rishab ny pehly hi hum sy yeh baat discuss ki thi aur uss ny apny aik dost sy baat bhi ki hai, Dr. Neel, woh aur Rishab raat mein aaien gy yahan… (Taking a momentary pause, concluded as…) Dr. Neel, psychiatrist hain, Abhijeet k sessions hoon gy ab unn k sath…

Daya nodded in composed way while throwing a silent glance over his brother, who was sleeping now where ACP sir softly patted his shoulder, in quiet smile…

Soon oldie DUO left and after getting satisfied from his brother's side, Daya left to take shower because of the juice that had fallen on his clothes… At night, both doctors arrived at DUO's home and met with the two, Abhijeet was looking much calm now though he was confused and worried, not understanding what was happening with him and in that situation, Dr. Neel, took the opportunity of establishing friendly relation with him, making him comfortable with himself, doing a small session with him…

After that, Dr. Neel's sessions with Abhijeet became regular, earlier they were twice a day, then once a day, then one in two days and finally thrice a week, but were regular… During all those sessions, whenever Abhijeet hallucinated about his past life, Dr. Neel had never denied what he was seeing, because, what he was seeing was actually happened if not in today, then in yesterday and hence, instead of telling him to relax as there was no one present there today, Dr. Neel had opted the approach of confrontation with Abhijeet…

Whenever Abhijeet got such attacks, Dr. Neel grabbed him his service gun, which for obvious reasons was always remained empty, and asked him to shoot whoever he was feeling worthy of that shot… And that thing really helped Abhijeet in a great way, as because of all that, Abhijeet himself was remembering many things, without asking from Daya, he was now getting the blur pictures of small incidences happened with him or in his life…

Dr. Neel had asked to Daya and other members of CID family too, to always opt that approach with Abhijeet, and never to deny whatever he was claiming to see, it would frustrate him, making him hyper and rash… Though he already became much rash during all that time, as those hallucinations, dreams, sessions, all those things were making him really restless, confused and frustrated on everything, which time to time he expressed out by behaving rash and sometimes crying and shouting… That was the most difficult time for the CID family but becoming the support for each other, they were becoming the support for their deary Abhijeet, helping him out for getting normal, who was very slowly moving ahead, conquering one after the other, every obstacle present in front of him…

Today around five months had passed since DUO had returned in Mumbai, Abhijeet was completely fluent in his talks now, was now walking with the help of walking stick, had remembered many incidences about his past, if not clearly then at least blurrily, though he was still unable to recognize Senior Inspector Abhijeet, and to make him introduce with the one, ACP sir had decided to take a big step, in that regard…

After around two whole years, today's morning, in DUO's home, both brothers were getting ready to go on their duty towards their country, yes, Abhijeet was joining his duty on ACP sir's strict order, who was having complete trust on his right hand man's sharpness and hence, today he was joining his brother unlike other days as Daya had resumed his job two months back, after seeing Abhijeet was handling himself completely fine and independently, who spent most of the time in Daya's absence, while reading books, doing indoor exercises both physical and mental and having his session with Dr. Neel and when there was no session, then repeating the instructions, his doctor had given him…

After getting ready for the Bureau, Daya came out from his room and seeing the lounge empty, he smiled lightly thinking Abhijeet must be getting ready so he left to make breakfast and after getting freed from there and serving the breakfast on the table, he looked towards the lounge to find no trace of his brother around…

Getting confused, Daya left towards Abhijeet's room and opening the half-opened room door, got stopped on the door step of the room seeing Snr. Ins. Abhijeet standing near his room's window who though did not recognize himself but others did, and that was the reason that a broad smile, followed with some moisture, got appeared on the younger one's face, seeing Abhijeet standing there, in formals, after so very long…

It took Daya few minutes to compose himself and then inhaling deeply, he moved ahead and reaching closed to Abhijeet…

Daya softly pressed his shoulder with: Abhi…!

Abhijeet, snapping out from his world of thoughts, looked towards him with: Chalien…?

Daya replied in soft smile as: Nashta nahin kro gy kya…?

Abhijeet nodded slowly and moved ahead, followed by Daya…

Soon DUO were present on the dining table, taking their breakfast quietly when finally…

Daya asked him softly as: Abhi, kya soch rahy ho tum…?

Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Kuchh khas nahin, bs ajeeb lg raha hai bohut…

Daya asked him gently as: Kya ajeeb lg raha hai…?

Abhijeet looked at him restlessly with: Yehi, yeh jo sb kuchh ho raha hai…

Daya asked him politely as: Bureau jana…?

Abhijeet moved on the chair in restless manner with: Sb kuchh Daya, sb kuchh… Main, tum, hum, yeh ghar, Bureau, woh sb log… (Looked at him in scared-filled-worry with…) Mujhy drr lg raha hai Daya, ager mujhy kabhi bhi kuchh puri tarhan yaad na aaya tou…?

Though Daya's hand shivered a little with that query but he managed in time to compose himself and inhaling deeply…

Daya looked at him with: Easa kuchh nahin ho ga Abhi, faltu ki baatien soch k khud ko preshan nahin kro please… (And receiving only a silent node from the latter, Daya tried to cheer him up with…) Tumhien ptta hai Abhi, humien na hamesha sir sy dant perti hai Bureau late pohanchny py aur late hamesha mairy karen hoty hain, lekin aaj lgta hai k for a change, tumhari wajah sy dant perni hai hum dono ko…

Abhijeet giving him a silent smile, replied as: Maira nashta ho gaya hai, jb chalna ho, btta daina…

Daya looked towards his plate where more than half food was still present so he looked back at his brother and then thinking not to frustrate him while forcing him to eat a little more…

Daya nodded understandably with: Hmm theek hai lekin jb tk maira nashta khatam nahin hota, maira sath tou dy sakty ho na please, chahy khali juice pii lo tum…

Abhijeet nodded silently and started sipping juice slowly where Daya, giving him a small smile, got busy while taking his tea…

Soon after completing their breakfast and getting freed from the kitchen, Daya returned from his room while grabbing the Qualis keys, and followed Abhijeet outside the home…

After locking the main door, Daya moved forward and got seated on the driving seat, feeling a new energy in himself today with the passenger seat, getting back its rider and he drove off from there… And he was relaxed from the Bureau side too as after he resumed his duty, Snr. Ins. Tushar got transferred to another station…

CID Bureau…

Reaching at the Bureau, Daya parked the car in the parking area and then moved out, followed by Abhijeet, who was looking really nervous… Abhijeet looked at the building in front of him, feeling something strange inside himself, when Daya coming towards his side, softly pressed his shoulder who turned his gaze towards him and receiving an encouraging smile from the latter, Abhijeet nodded in an assuring smile and moved forward with Daya…

DUO stepped inside the Bureau hall together and all present inside, turned towards the door, feeling overwhelmed seeing DUO coming in the Bureau together, though as already got strictly instructed by ACP sir, hence no one met them overwhelmingly, especially Freddy really controlled over himself to remain composed after seeing his Abhijeet sir back in the Bureau, who was already looking much tensed and confused and their any abrupt action could result in something unexpected…

Where coming inside the Bureau hall, Abhijeet was still looking around confusingly, feeling strange, confused, restless, and what not… And before he could rush out from there…

ACP sir moved out from his cabin with: Abhijeet…! (Abhijeet jerking out from his feelings, looked at him, looking hugely absent-minded that he didn't even hear Daya greeting ACP sir morning where ACP sir replying him with a head node, moved ahead and reaching near Abhijeet… ACP sir forwarded the file he was grabbing towards Abhijeet with…) Abhijeet yeh case kal aaya hai, kidnapping ka case hai, iss ko aik dffa study ker lo, phir team k sath tumhien jana hai rescue k liye…

Abhijeet was that much missing from the scene that he hardly managed a node while grabbing the file as those words were kept on revolving in his mind and suddenly he misbalanced when…

Daya hurriedly grabbed him with: Abhi…!

Abhijeet clutched his arm, while standing with his support, placing the other hand on his forehead while the file and his walking stick were now present on the floor when…

Freddy hurriedly placed the chair near him with: Sir, yahan baithien please…

Abhijeet got seated there, still looking completely numb, not speaking anything, hugely puzzled and restless when Tasha grabbed him a water glass, who drank that in one go where Daya was continuously rubbing his back, consolingly…

When after few minutes', seeing him calmed down a little…

Vivek, grabbing the empty glass from him, asked him caringly as: Sir aap theek hain na…?

Abhijeet just managed a slow node and then signalled towards the file with: File… (Daya grabbed him the file where Abhijeet wiping off the sweat from his face, looked at Daya with…) Main ny kahan baithna hai…?

Daya, in composed way, signalled him towards his desk with: Woh raha tumhara desk…

Abhijeet nodded and grabbing his walking stick from Daya, he left towards his desk while Daya looked towards ACP sir in tension but receiving only firm-determined gaze in return, he just moved his head down, moving towards his desk, followed by others, who too left towards their respective desks where, ACP sir throwing a silent-smiley glance over his elder son, left inside his cabin…

A Fort…

In the noon, DUO along with the team, entered inside the fort in full alert manner though Abhijeet was looking restless and uncomfortable, rather than alert… He was only following others, not knowing where he was going as he was feeling like, he was placing his foot at one place and it was placed on some other place… What he was looking at, wasn't what he was seeing, making him feel really restless… He was feeling like sleep walking, not knowing where he was headed to and in that confusion, restlessness and discomfort, he tried to place his foot on the stair but got hugely jerked and was going to fall when Vivek, who was behind him, hurriedly supported him, and coming back in senses, Abhijeet looked at him and then towards the place he was walking and got jerked badly, seeing there were no stairs present there…

When a firm grip, gripped his hand and Abhijeet looked in the direction to find Daya standing there who giving an assuring pressure on his hand, signalled others to move ahead and himself accompanied Abhijeet while slowly moving ahead in complete silence…

Soon the CID team reached on the roof of the fort and from nowhere, a dozen of goons came out and there started a fight where Abhijeet was looking at that all, getting hugely perplexed, not understanding what to do and when he unintentionally tried to take out his gun, got that he was having no gun with himself…

And those shouting voices, gun shots, that sand clouds, those people fighting on the edge of the wall, that whole noise, screams and then suddenly one of those fighting on the edge of the wall, fall while trying to save his fellow cop, and things started revolving in front of Abhijeet's eyes in speed, who suddenly started seeming cut-off from the current scene but was present at some other place, where those sand clouds were clearing off the dust appeared in the glass of his memory, making all images clear slowly…

Grabbing his head in his both hands, he just screamed loudly, falling on his knees while continuously mumbling lots of things under his breath, sometimes screaming, crying, and suddenly he just fell on his side, getting unconscious…

When Daya hurriedly rushed ahead and reaching near his brother, restlessly pulled Abhijeet up from the floor, resting his head on his own arm, to wake him up, but before he could utter something, got hugely jerked seeing blood oozing from his forehead, and he looked at the place where he fell to find a pointed stone present there when…

ACP sir's tensed voice rose as: Daya, issy foren hospital ly k chalo, ambulance neechy hi hai…

Daya nodded while wiping off the sweat from Abhijeet's face while nurses, who were already ready with the stretcher, moved close to them and shifting Abhijeet on the stretcher, they all rushed from there towards the CITY Hospital while praying from god, that their plan of recreating the last memory saved in Abhijeet's brain, would result in a positive way…
