You read- Gaurav gave Daya harsh treatment and he became panicked again...Gaurav tried his best to calm him down and to make him comfortable to continue with treatment...after leaving him in Panic room he came out and sat on his chair...listening to Daya's gasps and struggling voices...and than lost in thoughts..and came out when someone knocked the door...it was Abhijeet…

Abb age-

Abhijeet- a jau Dr. Saab?

Gaurav look at him- are aao aao Abhijeet...come and he signaled him towards the chair…and pick up his cell and dial some number...

Abhijeet suspect something...give a look to Panic rom and than sat on chair...still looking towards room...

Gaurav- Abhijeet...he didn't reply..he again repeated… Abhijeet...and than he cut the call and get up from his chair, move towards him and place hand on his shoulder…

Abhijeet shocked and looked at him- Gaurav...m..m sorry Kya keh rahe the tum?

Gaurav- haan main Gaurav...and he signals towards room- Daya hai ander...bas 15 minute aur…

Abhijeet aghast- 15 minute aur?

Gaurav- Abhijeetttt

Abhijeet- m...m sorry and he cleared his throat...saw cell in his hand...ye...ye tum Sameer ko call kar rahe the?

Gaurav- haan...bhai Sahab phone hi nai Utah rahe...kitni der ho gyi...ye ladka bhi na...he speaks in worried tone…

Abhijeet- Sameer...abhi to bahar tha wo...kitni der baat ki usne mujhse…

Gaurav shocked- Kya bahar?

Abhijeet- haan...tabhi use ek phone aya aur phir chala gya...thora upset lag raha tha wo…

Gaurav- upset? Bataya usne kuch...I mean koi baat Suni tumne unki…

Abhijeet- nai bas kuch zaroori kaam hai kehkar chala gya…and he look at Gaurav's frowned face...koi pareshaani hai Gaurav? Sab thik hai na?

Gaurav- hope sab thik hi ho uske saath Abhijeet and he sat on his chair…and checks time...a jayega thori der mein Sameer...tum batao? he speaks in low tone...suspecting something fishy…

Abhijeet again look at Panic room and checks time- abhi 12 minutes aur pade hain…

Smile appears on Gaurav's face and he get up - chalo Abhijeet...canteen chalte hain thori der…

Abhijeet- canteen? Abhi to naashta kiya wo bhi heavy wala..aur abb canteen? Na...nai rehne dete hain...he tries to avoid...

Gaurav understands why he is avoiding- Abhijeet plzzz chalo…

Abhijeet unintentionally- Daya...Daya ander hai Gaurav aur abhi bas 10 minute reh gye hain...he speaks after checking time again…

Gaurav- I know Daya ander hai. Abhi chalo yahan se...c'mon Abhijeet…get up...

Abhijeet get up reluctantly and they came outside..

Panic room-

Pata nai kab ayega Gaurav...roz itna kuch kehta hu wo to kabhi nai maanta aur aaj itni jaldi maan li meri baat… mere haath...and he struggles again to open it but futile...kitni Zor se baandha hai...jaise kabhi kholega hi nai…agar usne yehi rehne diya Mujhe to...wo to Abhijeet aur Sameer ko bhi ane nai dega and again getting breathless on realise about his condition...Mujhe saans…saans nai a rahi...he start to gasps again...calm down Daya...calm down.. kuch nai hua...you have to be patient Daya...agar kuch ho gya to...agar main yehi band raha to...Gaurav bhi nai hai...calm down Daya and he tries to calm down himself...somehow he tried to takes deep breaths…

In Canteen-

Abhijeet Zaroor koi important baat hai jo Gaurav Mujhe yahan lekar aya hai...isiliye itne pyar se coffee pila raha hai...Daya ne koi naya panga to nai kiya…

Gaurav who was looking at him continually speaks-Abhijeet tum soch Kya rahe ho? He speaks clinking spoon in plate in order to divert his mind..

Abhijeet- k...kuch bhi to nai…

Gaurav- kuch to hai Abhijeet…

Abhijeet- Daya...Daya co-operate to kar raha hai na?

Gaurav- Abhijeet...tumhara Daya bahut samajhdaar hai...wo jaanta hai usne thik hona hai...wo bhi bahut jaldi…he speaks sipping his coffee..

Abhi took sigh of relief- Thank God...Mujhe laga kahin Daya kuch ulta seedha na karde…

Gaurav narrows his eyes- tumhe aisa Kyu laga Abhijeet...kuch hua Kya?

Abhijeet- haan wo aaj subah...are yaar Gaurav...Daya ko wo ACP Sir wali baat pata chal gyi...use pata chal gya ke ACP ke kehne par Aditya ne use ander band kiya tha.. usne Mujhe aur ACP ko wo discuss karte huae sun liya aur aaj wo kafi upset tha is wajah se...usne kaha ke he is feeling like stupid...you know jab self respect hurt hoti hai...and he stops.

Now it was clear to Gaurav why Daya behaved like this in morning…

Gaurav to ye baat hai...Daya Shayad emotionally hurt hua wo sab jaankar...use achha nai laga ke uske pyare ACP Sir ne use aise treat karwaya...pehle Dr. Gupta se Mumbai mein aur phir yahan uske baad jo hua...wo Aditya ka gusse mein akar use thappad marna...wo embarrassment...wo sab...oh Daya...main samajh sakta hu tumhe kaisa feel ho raha hoga...isiliye aaj tumne khud ke liye itna mushkil faisla liya...I understand ye asaan nai hai tumhara liye...m proud of you Daya...and he looked at Abhijeet who was upset again on thinking of Daya.

Gaurav - Abhijeet...relax ok...kuch nai hua...don't feel bad yaar...he speaks clearing his throat…Daya bahut jaldi thik ho jayega...bas kuch din aur...bas bharosa rakho mujhpar…

Abhijeet- tumpar bharosa hai isi liye to abb tak yahan ruka hu Gaurav...nai to kab...and he stops...finished his coffee...and again look at time...10 minute ho gaye Gaurav…

Gaurav sipping coffee slowly - koi baat nai Abhijeet… thori der aur Sahi...main ek baar Sameer ko call karlu phir chalte hain and he remove cell and dial Sameer's number again… again unanswered and he got upset and cut the call...

Abhijeet- Kya hua..nai uthaya phone...

Gaurav-lagta hai ye Sameer mujhse maar khayega abb...waise bhi bahut der ho gyi iske Kaan kheenche hhuae...he speaks to lighten his mood…

Abhijeet laughed- Gaurav tumhara gusse mein uske liye fikar saaf dikh raha hai...and he stops for a while waise Gaurav...Sameer Mujhe kuch thik nai lag raha...kaafi change lag raha hai Mujhe subah se...breakfast tak to thik tha...lekin abb nai laga...he speaks while looking at Gaurav's worried face…

Gaurav took sigh- Achha...aise lag raha hai tumhe.. fikar to Mujhe bhi ho rahi hai us ki...koi pareshaani to hai jo go mera phone nai utha raha..aisa wo tabhi karta hai jab kuch chupana ho use…lekin mera yakeen karo Abhijeet wo jitni bhi koshish Karle...mujhse kuch nai chup sakta… and he took his last sip...khair pata to main laga loonga ke baat Kya hai...is waqt to Mujhe sirf aur sirf Daya par concentrate karna hai...Sameer ki problem baad mein solve karuga main...and he gets up..chale Daya ko dekhte hain...

Abhijeet gets up- phir bhi yaar...nazar to rakhni chahye.. and he checks time again...10 minute zyada ho gye and they move outside the canteen…and moving towards his room...

Gaurav dekhta hu Daya ko...Abhijeet ko na hi leke jau saath mein to achha hai...kahin Daya ko dekhkar pareshaan na ho jaye..aur phir Daya bhi to nai chahta ke Abhijeet use aise dekhe...and he stops outside his room Abhijeet...tum..tum plz Sameer ko dekho agar wo milta hai to...dekho Kya hua hai use...main hu Daya ke pass...he speaks patting his arm…

Abhijeet- Ek baar Daya…he rebuffs…

Gaurav- Abhijeet pleaseee….trust me...wo thik hai…he assured him...

Abhijeet stops half heartedly- ok...Shaam ko milta hu...bye and he left and Gaurav entered his room..

Gaurav's room-

Dekhu Daya kaisa hai..he move towards Panic room fastly...turn on the light from outside and than opens the door...look at Daya who was taking deep breaths full of sweat…

Goddd...Daya you ok...he speaks while removing cloth from his eyes...than open tape from his hands...and then calves…

Daya closes his eyes immediately due to light...move his hands in front and begin to stretch his fingers - I'm fi...fine Gau… Gaurav...kitni zor...zor se baandha tumne Gaurav...he speaks in feeble complaining tone…

Gaurav- abb jaldi bhi to tumhe hi hai thik hone ki...he speaks carelessly and looked at his wrists who became reddened now…he felt sorry for him.

Daya place hand on table in order to stand up and than about to fall...Gaurav immediately hold him…

Gaurav- Are araam se Daya...relax...itni jaldi ha bhagne ki abb? he make him stand properly and help him to came outside..make him sat on chair..and offered him

Daya look at him and than turn his face downwards..

Gaurav narrowed his eyes- Kya hua Daya…tum thik ho?

Daya - kuch nahi Gaurav...main...main soch raha tha agar Abhijeet yahan hota to pakka Mujhe hug karta...he speaks unintentionally…and again forward his trembling hand towards water...

Gaurav smiles and ruffled his hairs- Daya Abhijeet ko miss kar raha hai...kaisa feel ho raha hai Daya tumhe...I mean...kuch ghabrahat ya palpitations…and he dialled a no and a nurse came inside…

Nurse- may I come in Sir…

Gaurav- come in Sister and she came inside..she stands in front of him...Sister inka BP check kariyae plz…and he again take his cellphone ...

Nurse- ok Sir...aap plz apna haath age kijiye...and she ties cuff on his arm and check his BP...and then shows the result to Gaurav...than she left the room…

Daya wipes sweat from his forehead- BP thik hai na Gaurav?

Gaurav- thora bara hua hai Daya...he speaks while typing some msgs...lekin aisa ho jata hai...zyada nai hai...nothing to worry…

Daya- thank God...nai to ek aur tablet add ho jati mere Menu card mein! He speaks in teasing tone…

Gaurav- Daya...is halat mein bhi tumhe mazak soojh raha hai? very good...m glad you're ok...tum abb rest karlo thori der and than he looks at time...2 baj rahe hain aur is Sameer ka kuch pata nai hai… phone kyu nai utha raha…

Gaurav- Daya...listen...listen to me Daya...baitho yahan.. ne somehow he made him sit there...lunch time Daya...

Daya-Gaurav Mujhe kuch nai khana and I'm bilkul ok… Mujhe Jane do and he again tries to stand up but Gaurav forcefully throws him on chair…

Gaurav- Daya tumhe samajh nai a raha mein Kya keh raha hu..he speaks indignantly than soften his tone itni jaldi Bhagna thik nai hai Daya...ek dam se itna stress achha nai hai tumhare liye...look at ur self...he speaks in concern tone...

Daya resists in order to move him away from himself by placing hand on his chest - Gauravvv...tum samajh nai rahe Gaurav...

Gaurav- Dayaaaa...tumhara BP high hua hai…zidd mat karo samjhe...

Daya- I don't care Gaurav…he speaks carelessly...

Gaurav thank God he is here...and he speaks- Aiyae Abhijeet g...Sambhaliyae apne is bhai ko…

Abhijeet laughs- Gaurav...lagta hai bahut pareshaan kar diya Daya and he move towards him- thank God Daya thik hai...waist thik tha tabhi to Gaurav ne Mujhe message karke bulaya...warna pehle to darwaze se hi Sameer ke bahane bhej diya and than he leaned towards chair and take him in hug... rub hand on his back...Daya Gaurav ko pareshaan karke rakha hai tumne Kya keh rahe the tum Gaurav ko...I don't care?

Why you don't care Daya?

Daya hug him tightly as if he meets him after ages…and speaks nothing...and closes his eyes.

Abhijeet- separates him from hug after sometime...abe chod...sirf paanch ghante hi to huae hain mujhse ladai kiye huae tumhe...Daya tighten his grip more on him… abe mera dam ghut jayega...Kya bacha ban raha hai and he freed him from hug and than stands up...

Daya get up too- Abhijeet...subah ke liye I'm sorry...and then he look at Gaurav and stops..

Gaurav looking at them with a smile on his face I wish agar Sammy yahan hota...use bhi main yuhi hug karta… subah Kaafi upset tha wo bhi and he speaks- Carry on Daya...I'm going outside...baitho tum log...

Daya who was looking much better after hugging Abhijeet- Gaurav...tumhe Jane ki zaroorat nai hai yaar...

Abhijeet moving towards him- Kahan jana hai tumhe Gaurav…chalo lunch karte hain...

Gaurav - Abhijeet tum aur Daya karo...Mujhe jana hai abhi and he pick up car keys and about to move towards door..

Abhijeet understands very well why Gaurav is looking worried- are ruko to Sahi yaar...baat ho gyi meri Sameer se...he speaks holding him from his arm…

Gaurav stops and look at him…

Half an hour ago-

Outside somewhere-

Stormy cloudy weather...Sameer was standing with an unknown person...feeling cold in his shirt...looking upset and scared...

Sameer pleads- aap...ap sach keh rahe ho na…

Bilkul sach beta...tumhe yakeen nai a raha to chalo mere saath and Sameer follows him and moving towards a known cliff and stops there after sometime…

Suddenly his phone rangs- he feels as if he wake up from sleep...and than give a strange look to the person standing beside him...than he looked at phone- Gaurav ka phone...and he cut the call…ye Gaurav Kyu phone kar raha hai Mujhe baar baar…his phone rangs again it was Abhijeet this time...

The person standing beside him smile evilly ...think for sometime and than speak- lagta hai aaj Sahi waqt nai hai...aaj tum jao beta…and he move from there towards road...

Sameer run after him- plzz rukiyae...aisa mat kijiye...and again his phone rangs...he pick the call without looking carefully at screen…

Hello...hello...and than again run after the person

Without cutting the call...aap aisa nai kar sakte...apne promise kiya mujhse...and the person elopes fastly in jungle in a blink and Sameer standing there helplessly… holding tears in his eyes...that rolled over his cheeks after sometime...he wipe tears with his sleeve and than look at the screen and move phone towards his ear...he clear his throat...trying to be normal...hello Abhijeet..haan a raha hu...bilkul thik hu Abhijeet...a raha hu...bye and he cut the call.
