Daya mumbles- to poocha Kyu tha and he tries to calm himself down
Gaurav narrow his eyes- kuch kaha tumne Daya? He glared..

Gaurav looking at him struggling not to get panic and feel pity on him,he place hand on his back to support him..
Daya feels better and lift stops and they came out and Daya took sigh of relief...and moving fastly to come out of the mall..
Gaurav stops him- Daya..tumhe koi shopping waigra to nai karni...
Daya- Gaurav...is waqt bas Mujhe niklna hai yaha se...he speaks looking outside..
Gaurav smiles and they came outside and move towards parking area...
In car-
Daya rested his head backwards due to giddiness...and closes his eyes..
Gaurav looked at him- Daya...neend a rahi hai tumhe?
Daya open his eyes- haan Gaurav...bahut..
Gaurav ruffled his hair- aaj ke liye well done Daya...main samajh sakta hu kitna mushkil tha ye sab tumhare liye...pehle wo Panic room aur abb ye...par tumne Mujhe niraash nai kiya...tum ek achhe dost aur achhe patient ho...thanks co-operate karne ke liye...

Daya narrowed his eyes- Kya? Tumne treat kiya tha? Sameer ko? use Kya hua tha?
Gaurav thinking- main to bhool gya...Daya ko to kuch pata hi nahin mere aur Sameer ke bare mein...lekin abb jab ham sab itne close hai...Daya Sameer ke close hai to uske bare mein Jan ne mein koi harz bhi nai hai...and he speaks-Daya... Sameer...Sameer aur main bahut achhe dost hain...ye to tum jaante ho...lekin ek aur Rishta hai jo hum dono ko saath jode huae hai..
Daya- aur Kaun sa Rishta? Tum dono batchmates ho na..
Gaurav- nai Daya...Sameer...Sameer Meri wife Saloni ka chota bhai hai...he speaks in sad tone...
Daya shocked- kyaaa? Tumhari wife..matlab bhabhi g... kabhi bataya nai...na hi kabhi Sameer ne baat ki is bare mein...kahan hain wo? He speaks excitingly.
Gaurav- wo abb...abb is duniya mein nai hain...Kareeb chaar saal pehle ek car accident mein unki maut ho gyi...
Daya was listening shell shocked..
Gaurav continues- Sameer apni didi ke kafi close tha...is baat ka kafi gehra asar hua tha Sameer par aur wo kaafi der depression mein raha...phir Maine treat kiya tha use..and he looked at Daya's face...you...you ok Daya?
Daya- I'm ok Gaurav...yaar...I'm out of words...samajh nai a raha Kya bolu main... tum..Sameer...and he recall every single incident related to Sameer...isi liye us waqt trekking par us din ...wo bachhon ko dekh kar Sameer...mujhe to pata hi nai tha... and he looked at Gaurav...I'm very sorry yaar..Mujhe nai pata tab tum dono bhi itne dard se guzre ho...bahut takleef hoti hai jab koi bahut apna hame chodkar hamesha ke liye chala jata hai..aur Sameer...wo to itna Khush rehne wala..sabko hasane wala... mujhe nai pata tha ke wo...and he stops...with a lump in throat...as he felt their pain.
.
Gaurav- it's ok Daya...plz...tum itna sab mat socho...pehle isi liye tumhe nai bataya Kyu ke tum khud kaafi weak the...emotionally zyada...is liye Abhijeet ko bataya tha Maine.
Daya- kyaaa? Abhijeet ko malum tha? Aur usne Mujhe bataya bhi nai...
Gaurav - haan trekking ke dauraan bataya tha...Maine Khud hi use mana kiya tha tumhe nai batane ke liye...aur waise bhi Sameer nai chahta tha ke kisi ko bhi is bare mein pata chale...
Daya- lekin Kyu Gaurav..hum sab to dost hai na...hame to pata hona chahye ek doosre ke bare mein sab...
Gaurav - haan tumne thik kaha Daya..aur Mujhe lag raha hai ke ye Sahi Mauka tha tumhe batane ke liye... tum Sameer ke saath Mumbai mein rehte ho to...mere khyaal se tumhe pata hona chahye uske bare mein...wo akela rehta hai Wahan...agar kabhi use zaroorat pade to...
Daya interrupts- are ye bhi koi kehne ki baat hai Gaurav...Sameer ke liye we are always there...tum uski tension mat lo..

Daya- main samajh sakta hu Gaurav...tum Kya kehna chahte ho..aur Thanks bhi kehna chahta hu...

Daya- Tumne apne aur Sameer ke bare mein itni badi baat batai Mujhe...I'm feeling good ke tumne Mujhe is layak samjha...Mujhe to lagta tha ke bas tum sab abb mujhe ek ppatient ki tarah hi samajh rahe ho...
Gaurav interrupts- Daya...tum patient ho mere..:lekin ye sab thori der ke liye hai...ye sab jo bhi chal raha hai yahan...ye tumhari life nai hai..bas tumhari life ka ek chota sa chapter hai jo bahut jaldi khatam hone wala hai...aur ek naya chapter Shuru hoga..

Daya happily- nai sochuga Gaurav...aur nai chalega Sameer ko pata...and thanks again and he suddenly hug him tightly and then left with a peck..
Gaurav shocked- Dayaaa...what the hell were you doing...agar mera balance bigad jata to..road par aise masti karte hain Kya? 10 saal ke bachhe ho tum?
Daya being serious- sorry sorry Gaurav...main kuch zzyada hi emotional ho gya tha chalao...and he signals him to continue with his driving..
Gaurav hiding his laugh- its ok...age se Dhyan rakhna...and he checked his watch- 5 bah rahe hain...Daya...tum abhi ghar jakar rest karna...Baaki kal continue karenge...
