to me, I mean A LOT, so thank you so very much for that, I am deeply deeply humbled, much love to you, khush raho hamesha aap, hugs tou you… :-* :-* :-* Hahahahaha yar Aryaan-Daya tou jaan hain apni bhi, hahaha, aap logon ny itna pyar dia hai WYDT ko k woh jo half-century sy bhi pehly complete ho gae thi, woh century bhi cross ker gae aur ab bhi time time sy aap log apna pyar through your appreciation and requests dikhaty rehty ho ussy ly k, I am truly much humbled for all that yar, seriously… :-* :-* I am having a plan of editing that whole story and through that incorporating all the standing requests too, aik baar yeh current story complete ho jaye, phir daikhty hain uss ka bhi kuchh, much love to you, and heart-felt thank you too, hugs… :-* :-* Hahahahahaha I really enjoyed your explanation about your questions, hahaha, much love, that was cute… :-* Thank you love for voicing your queries out, I really appreciate it, hugs… :-* Nope Boss, he just got emotional remembering that beautiful past and then facing the pain-filled present and that's why left inside the bathroom as Sunil was attacked after Daya sir was rescued for the first time whereas Daya sir don't remember of being rescued ever, he is mentally still present in the horrors of that first time kidnapping where Amavasya used to regularly visit him, which didn't happen the second time… :))) Well, I will be showing that in the story Boss about the kids, and about Shastri taking any tension about being exposed, so Boss, he dared to kidnap Daya sir again when the case against him, with Daya sir being the prime witness, was literally running in the court, so yups, when Daya sir said that Shastri pagal ho gaya hai, he literally meant it… ;) :P Umm Boss, I will be sharing my point of view with the explanation in the story when I will be revealing these parts, so can't say anything at the time, sorry for that… :P :-* Okays, so now comes the third question, haha, so firstly nope Boss, no-one else except Amavasya had seen Daya sir undressed, Amavasya was too careful and too possessive about that aspect and I have tried to show that thing by showing what she did to that cleaner-goon who only talked filthy with Daya sir, so that's a no… And now about how he was dressed after going through that hell every time so yes, Amavasya herself used to dress him up or when he was only tied and not drugged, then after untying him, give him the clothes to get dressed, and she used to-do that to make sure that he was always properly dressed in-front of others, because once she used to leave the room, then Rakka could come there with other goons too, as in both the molestation related FBs, Amavasya had left the room, in that sedatives' one, she herself sent Raka in the room to clear the room and in the rape-drugs one, when Daya sir gain back the control of his body, he was alone in the room, and in the meantime anyone could come in the room and that's why Amavasya used to dress him up, every time after satisfying her lust and hunger… And about the use of scissors to undress him, so Boss, the first reason was of-course the use of effort as undressing him by simply cutting his clothes was less painstaking and more ego-satisfying than otherwise, then the second reason was to assert her dominance on him and to make her statement in-front of him that she could do anything to or with him and he could do nothing and if she did not want, then he must stay like that for as long as she pleased, and third reason was of-course, because she was a psycho, something worse than an animal, so chances are she might get strange kind pf pleasure by humiliating him like that… ;) ;) And no need for feeling like that Boss or saying sorry, as I can understand, I was not too thorough with Amavasya-Daya molestation scenes and that's why these confusions are rising, so it's completely fine with me, much love to you, hugs… :-* :-* Aur Boss aap mujhy bilkul bhi tng ya preshan nahin kerti ho, you are one of my motivation of keep working on this story so please never feel like that, it's just, aaj-kal time manage nahin ho paa raha, love you loads… :-* :-* Thanks a lot dear, keep smiling

Present…

DUO's Home…

Daya's Room…

Abhijeet now sitting on the place he was sitting earlier, with his back facing Daya, grabbed the water-bottle, which Sunil had left there along-with the painkillers, and drank some water as his effort to compose himself… And he kept sitting there, giving himself some time to calm himself down when…

Daya's silent voice reached his ears as: Dard ho raha hai…?

Abhijeet, who wasn't completely composed yet, nodded quietly as: Haan, bohut…

And for around a minute there remained complete silence in the room as none of the two were talking about any physical pain and they both knew it when…

Daya's little hesitant voice again reached the elder one's ears as: Kaisa tha tumhara bhai…?

Abhijeet replied instantly while giving stress on his word as: Hai… (And he turned his pain-filled gaze towards the latter who was looking at him in silence-filled-confusion where Abhijeet repeated himself while giving stress on his words as…) Woh zinda hai Daya… (And he turned his gaze away while sitting there with a thud, throwing his back against the wall, completing more to himself while assuring himself as…) Zindagi baqi hai abhi uss mein, Zinda hai woh…

And he came back from his self-talks with…

Daya replied apologetically as: I… I am sorry, maira yeh matlab nahin tha kehny ka, main bs…

And he left the sentence incomplete, looking hesitant to complete though he did not need to as Abhijeet very well understood what he wanted to say or was trying to-do, getting well that Daya was trying to make him feel better by talking about his brother hence deciding to acknowledge latter's that try, inhaling deeply to compose himself…

Abhijeet still looking at far in space, replied in a little lost tone as: Pagal sa hai woh bilkul, thora sa bewakoof aur bohut masoom… (Nodded to himself in sad smile with…) Ziddi bhi hai, ager koe baat uss k mnn mein aa jaye tou mnnva k rehta hai, suunta nahin hai phir kuchh… (Added with so much love while having a shine in his eyes as…) Khush hota hai tou hr taraf sirf muskurahatien hi muskurahatien hoti hain… (And slowly sadness and pain again started claiming back their places on his face with the shine started disappearing from his now-turning silent eyes as…) Aur jb udaas hota hai tou lgta hai jaisy zindagi hi udaas ho gae hai, hr taraf sirf khamoshi suunai perti hai, gehri khamoshi… (And inhaling a long deep breath, exhaled it slowly and turned towards the latter in silent smile with…) Easa hai woh, dikhny mein bohut immature lekin phir bhi bohut mature, aik sath bohut samajhdar aur bohut na-samajh…

Daya, who was listening to him in silence, asked him softly as: Tum brry bhai ho kya…? (Abhijeet for few moments kept looking at the latter in silence and then nodded to him with "Hmm", resulted Daya nodded him back in silent smile as…) Tumhari baaton sy lgga hi tha k tum brry bhai ho…

Abhijeet gulping down a silent breath, asked him quietly as: Bs sirf yehi lgga tha ya kuchh aur bhi…? (And receiving a silent-questioning gaze in return, Abhijeet looking deep in his eyes, asked him softly as…) Tumhien easa tou nahin lgga jaisy tumhara brra bhai tumhari personality ko explain ker raha ho…?

Daya instantly turned his face away in silence, bringing a silent smile on Abhijeet's face, getting his answer well when wiping hand on his face to compose his thoughts…

Daya struggling to get back his voice, uttered as: Tum-tumhara bhai… (Looked towards the latter in reluctant-confused way as…) Ho… Ho sakta hai uss ny kuchh soch k waesa qadam uthaya ho…? (Abhijeet's face got completely silent with his quiet gaze fixed on the latter who started looking uneasy with that fixed gaze hence had turned his face away while mumbling hesitantly as…) Sorry…

Abhijeet inhaling a long deep breath, exhaled slowly with: Soch ker hi uthaya tha uss ny waesa qadam… (Daya looked at him in silence-filled-hesitation where Abhijeet nodded to him in sad smile while giving stress as…) Achhi tarhan sy soch samajh ker, puri planning ker k kia tha uss ny sb, warna mujhy jhoot bol k sedative daina itna aasan nahin hai…

Daya asked him reluctantly as: Kya woh tum sy, I mean ussy tum py vishvas tha…?

Abhijeet chuckled sadly while nodding as: Hmm, bohut vishvas kerta hai woh mujh py, shaid zarorat sy kuchh zada hi, tbhi tou mujhy itny aaram sy mairy hawaly ker k chala gaya woh…

Daya, feeling the pain in the latter's voice, asked him in concern as: Tou phir kya ehsas nahin tha ussy tumhari takleef ka…?

Abhijeet gave him an injured smile with: Tha, bohut achhy sy ehsas tha, tbhi tou letter chhor gaya na peichhy, k shaid uss sy mairi takleef thori kmm ho jaye… (Uttered more to himself as…) Ehsas bhi tha, vishvas bhi tha, sb tha, lekin bs wohi woh nahin reh gaya tha… (Daya looked at him getting completely silent when Abhijeet exhaling heavily, spread hands on his face to compose his thoughts with…) Aaj nahin tou kal ussy jana hi tha Daya, woh nahin ruuk sakta tha unn sb haalat mein… (Shrugged in pain as…) It was no-more the matter of if, but when… (Looking away, nodded to himself with…) Aur main samajhta tha yeh baat, iss liye kaisy bhi ker k khud ko mnna raha tha ussy khud sy doour bhaejny k liye… (Added in anger-filled-hurt still looking away as…) Lekin iss sy pehly hi uss ny khud hi faisla ker lia aur nikl gaya ghar sy, mujhy apna faisla bttana tou doour, mujh sy discuss tk kerna zarori nahin samjha kuchh… (Looked at the latter wounded-ly as…) Mujhy aaj bhi ghussa uss k jany py nahin hai Daya, uss k yun mujhy bina kuchh kahey, bina kuchh btaye jany py hai, aur main lakh chah k bhi uss k yun jany py ussy maaf nahin ker paa raha, mujh sy nahin ho raha, bilkul nahin ho raha… (Turning his gaze away, added in pain-filled-anger as…) Aik baar bs woh mujhy mil jaye wapis, dimagh tou uss ka thikkany lggao'n ga hi, sath hi easa huliya biggaro'n ga uss ka k woh khud bhi khud ko nahin pehchan paye ga…

Daya, silently turned his gaze away while replying little lost-ly as: Ho sakta hai woh pehly hi khud ko na pehchan pata ho…?! (Abhijeet getting completely quiet, instantly turned his gaze towards the latter with jerk where Daya added in same lost tone with his gaze fixed at some unseen point as…) Tum hi ny kaha k woh woh nahin reh gaya tha, ho sakta hai woh bhi sirf aik shareer reh gaya ho js ki aatma ko pehly hi kisi haiwan ny intahai saf'faki [Brutally] aur baedardi sy paao'n tlly kuchchal k maar dia ho…?! (And roughly wiping off the drops of his agony rained down on his face, Daya gulping down a moist breath, turned his injured gaze towards the latter with…) Humari zindagion mein aany waly toofan, kabhi kabhi sirf humari zindagian hi nahin, humien bhi tabah ker k rakh daity hain, aik hi pal mein yun sb bddal k rakh daity hain k hum khud bhi khud ko aainy mein daikhien tou pehchan na paien… (Abhijeet kept looking at him in aching-silence where Daya slowly turned his gaze away, added lost-ly as…) Mujhy hi daikh lo, aik waqt tha jb Abhi ko preshan kerna, uss sy fazool lrrna, zid kerna, jaisy mairi zindagi ka maqsad hua kerta tha… (Abhijeet kept looking at him in love-filled-pain when Daya chuckled lost-ly while adding as…) Aik baar woh apni koe time limit wali Sudoku ki game khail raha tha aur main pohanch gaya apni koe video ly k jo k main ny ussy ussi samey dikhani thi, aur jb uss ny daikha k mujh py uss ki dantt ka kuchh asar nahin ho raha tou tng aa k bola "Daya panch hazar ruppay dun ga, panch minute k liye bkwas bnd ker ly"… (A deep silent smile came on Abhijeet's face too, remembering the beautiful time where Daya's lost smiley voice kept falling on his ears as…) Aur main ny panch hazar ruppay taiyag diye thy lekin chup nahin kia tha, aur na hi uss ki game puri hony di thi… (And he turned his moist gaze towards the latter in lost smile with…) Aur yahin rukka nahin tha main, bl k ussy puri video dikhai thi, uss k comments bhi liye thy, aur phir kahin jaan chhori thi main ny uss ki… (And with his smile slowly started fading away, he continued as…) Easa tha main, vishvas hota hai kya tumhien…? (Abhijeet just turned his face away as his effort to hide the moisture present in his eyes now where Daya himself answered his query while slowly turning his face away and shaking head to himself as…) Mujhy nahin hota, bilkul nahin hota… Easa lgta hai jaisy woh koe aur hi insan tha, aur main bilkul hi koe aur… (And nodded to himself in silence-filled-pain as…) Aur woh sach mein koe aur tha, main nahin hoon woh aur na hi kabhi ho sakta hoon… (Abhijeet looked at him in real pain where Daya roughly dusting off the salty drop slipped from his eye's corner, gulped down a moist breath and turned his gaze towards the latter while asking him quietly as…) Thori daer pehly tum ny pouchha tha na mujh sy k jo tumhary bhai ny kia, main woh Abhi k sath ker sakta hoon kya kabhi…?! (Abhijeet kept looking at him in complete silence as he could clearly hear to his own racing heart, fearing Daya's answer, because of clearly seeing it in the younger one's eyes when gulping down a silent breath, Daya nodded to him in composed way with…) Haan… (And a shadow of extreme-pain-filled-hurt passed Abhijeet's face where Daya turning his face away, completed in same silent tone as…) Main ker sakta hoon uss k sath easa…

Something broke inside Abhijeet listening to that answer as he could never imagine that Daya could ever agree with what he did, that too without showing any remorse or guilt and he kept looking at Daya's face holding immense pain and anger in his injured gaze as he really wanted to beat him up on that answer, to yell at him, to scream, to demand answers, to ask him how dared he, how could he, just how, but all he could manage was…

A broken-toned audible whisper of: Kyun Daya, kyun…?

Daya shook his head in aching-silence as: Tumhary bhai ny easa kyun kia, yeh tou main nahin keh sakta lekin main Abhi k sath easa kyun ker sakta hoon, iss ka jawab hai shaid mairy paas… (Gulping down a silent breath, he looked towards the latter while adding in dangerously-serious way as…) Yeh jo zindagi hai na dost, yeh bohut zalim cheez hai, insan sy woh kuchh kerwa laiti hai jo uss ny kabhi sapny mein bhi nahin socha hota… (Pain increased in the elder one's eyes where Daya teared his gaze away while adding in anger-pain-hurt, everything he was feeling at the moment with…) Mujh sy bhi ptta nahin abhi yeh zindagi aur kya kya kerwaye gi… (Whispered more to himself in extreme pain as…) Aik khilona tou bnna hi dia hai, ab ptta nahin aik tamasha bhi bnaye gi shaid… (Immense pain appeared in Abhijeet's eyes where Daya, with his gaze fixed at some unseen point, added in scared-little-lost tone as…) Tumhien ptta hai, jb bhi kabhi main sochta hoon na k jb team mujhy dhond ly gi tou uss k baad ho ga kya, tou mujhy bohut drr lgta hai, aik ajeeb sa drr… (And Daya absent-mindedly started rubbing his hands, mostly looking like doing self-talk now as…) Abhi, woh, uss ko ptta chal jaye ga sb, main uss sy nahin chhupa paon ga kuchh bhi aur main uss sy chhupana chahta bhi tou nahin, ussi ko tou bttana hai sb lekin phir ptta nahin kya ho ga uss k baad, woh ptta…

And Daya was cut there by…

Abhijeet's apparently calm voice as: Kya tum chahty ho Daya k Abhijeet kuchh na kry…? (Breaking Daya's trance of self-talk who turned his gaze towards the latter in silence where Abhijeet asked him again as…) Kya tum sach mein chahty ho k woh chup rahy…?

Daya turning his face away, silently threw his head against the wall and looking far in space, replied in lost tone as:

Zabt Kehta Hai Khamoshi Mein Bassar Ho Jaye,

Dard Ki Zid Hai Duniya Ko Khaber Ho Jaye…!

(And silently removing the evidence of his pain from his face, he added in same lost-silent tone as…) Main nahin jaanta k main kya chahta hoon aur mujhy ptta rehna zarori hai bhi nahin kyun k Abhi ko hamesha ptta rehta hai k main kya chahta hoon aur woh wohi kerta hai, bhaly hi uss samey mujhy khud bhi na ptta ho k main kya chahta hoon…

Abhijeet asked him in pain as: Jb tum yeh sb maanty aur samajhty ho tou phir kyun jao gy ussy chhor k…?

Daya looked at him in pain-filled-anger as: Tumhien kya lgta hai, koe kyun jata hai easey kisi apny ko chhor k, koe kyun uss insan ko jaanty boujhty takleef dainy k liye taiyar ho jata hai js ko takleef sy bchany k liye woh insan apni jaan tk dainy ko taiyar ho…? (Abhijeet kept looking at him with wounded gaze where Daya added in injured-angry voice as…) Ager tumhary bhai ki zindagi mein tumhara koe mehatev raha hai tou tumhien ghalat lgta hai k woh aaram sy tumhien tumhary hawaly ker k gaya ho ga, kyun k main jaanta hoon k main kabhi bhi Abhi ko uss k hawaly ker k nishchit nahin reh sakta, aik pal k liye bhi nahin… Iss liye ager main ny kabhi jeevan mein easa koe qadam uthaya tou uss k peichhy koe bohut brri wajah rahy gi, iss ka mujhy vishvas hai… (Shook his head to himself while looking away now as…) Bhagwan ny abhi ptta nahin aur kitny imtehan likhy hain mairy bhaggy mein, ptta nahin kahan tk seh paon ga main, abhi aur kitni himmet baqi hai mujh mein, aur js rooz mairi brdashat khatam hue uss rooz main bhagna chaho'n ga, hr aik sy doour, apni uss zindagi sy doour, logon ki baaton, unn ki nazron sy doour, bohut doour…

Abhijeet asked him in hurt as: Apny bhai sy bhi doour…? (Daya getting quiet looked at him in silence-filled-pain and then without saying anything had just turned his face away again where Abhijeet asked him in same hurt-filled-pain as…) Tum uss sy baat ker k, ussy btta k bhi tou ja sakty ho na Daya…?

Daya looked at him in complete silence with: Aur ager uss ny na jany dia tou…? (Abhijeet went quiet where Daya turning his face away, shook his head to himself as…) Ager uss ny mnna ker dia tou mairy apny qadam maira sath nahin dien gy, phir nahin ja paon ga main kabhi… (Threw a helpless glance at the latter with…) Aur phir main uss sy easi koe baat kerny ki himmet laon ga bhi kaisy, kaisy daikhon ga uss ki ourh aur kahon ga k apny sb waady toor raha hoon main, jb k main tou mazaq mein bhi hr samey ussy yehi kehta aaya hoon k main uss ka peichha kabhi nahin chhoron ga… (And gulping down a moist breath, he whispered to himself in real pain as…) Aur sirf uss sy hi nahin, main ny tou Maa jee sy bhi wada kia hua hai k unn k baity ka khayal rakhon ga, ussy kabhi akela nahin chhoron ga… (Abhijeet gulped down a silent breath in pain where Daya glancing over Abhijeet with moist eyes, looked towards his own hand with…) Hath, hath pakker k wada kia tha main ny Maa jee sy, bohut vishvas sy vishvas dillaya tha main ny unhien aur shaid unhon ny vishvas ker bhi lia tha, tabhi tou agli subah chali gaien woh, itni doour chali gaien… (And few salty drops rained down from both pairs of eyes in real pain where Abhijeet had turned his face away to hide that moisture from his face where Daya had roughly wiped his hand on his face, wiping off those salty drops, asking to himself injured-ly as…) Mairi aakhri baat thi woh Maa jee sy, main kaisy Abhi ko kahon ga k main apny sb waady toor raha hoon, mm-Maa jee sy kiye hoye waady toor raha hoon, nahin, main nahin keh sakta, kabhi nahin…

And for around a minute there remained complete silence in the room as Abhijeet was still struggling to compose himself while Daya was looking completely dipped in his pain-filled thoughts when he jerked out from his those hurting thoughts listening to…

Abhijeet's composed voice, filled with hidden pain and love as: Thank you Daya… (Making Daya turn his aching gaze towards the latter in silence-filled-question where Abhijeet added in same composed tone as…) Tumhari baaton ny mujhy iss baat ka bohut achhy sy vishvas kerwa dia hai k mairy bhai k liye bhi waesa qadam uthana kitna mushkil raha ho ga… (Slowly turning his gaze away, added more to himself as…) Kitna lrra ho ga woh khud sy aur uss ny aakhri hdd tk koshish ki ho gi, mager insan hai na woh bhi, kahan tk brrdasht kerta, zindagi ny ussy hr chot pehly sy zada gehri maari, mazeed nahin seh sakta ho ga woh iss liye sb chhor k chala gaya… (Whispered in broken smile as…) Mujhy bhi… (Daya kept looking at him in silence where Abhijeet inhaling deeply while spreading hands on his face to compose himself, nodded to the latter in soft smile as…) Main ny mairy bhai ko purey mnn sy maaf kia Daya… (Daya just gave him a very subtle silent smile while Abhijeet continued in same soft tone as…) Dua kerna k maira bhai mujhy jaldi mil jaye ta k main ussy glly sy lgga k btta skkon k main uss sy naraz nahin hoon, thora sa bhi nahin…

Daya nodded to him in silence with: Chinta nahin kro, tumhien tumhara bhai mil jaye ga zaror, ho sakta hai woh jald tum sy khud hi contact ker ly…

Abhijeet asked him in silent smile with: Tum kerty kya easey jany k baad tumhary Abhi sy contact…?

Daya nodded firmly with: Haan, zaror kerta… (Abhijeet kept looking at him in silence where Daya slowly turned his face away while adding as…) Kyun k main jaanta hoon k mairi easi koe herket ussy kitna preshan ker dy gi aur woh apni preshani, ghussy k through nikalta hai hamesha, hr aik py bharakta phirta hai aur sb sy zada, khud py… (And gulping down a silent breath, he looked at the latter with…) Aur yun bhi main uss sy doour tou shaid ja sakta hoon mager ussy chhor nahin sakta kabhi, iss liye main ny ager kabhi easi koe herket ki bhi tou uss ki wajah maira uss zindagi sy faraar ki koshish ho gi, Abhi sy nahin, kabhi nahin… (And turning his gaze away, he added in same slow-silent tone as…) Aur phir main jaanta bhi tou hoon k maira koe letter, koe audio, video, kuchh bhi ussy mujhy dhondny sy nahin rook sakky ga, tumhari tarhan woh bhi nahin rukky ga jb tk mujhy dhond nahin ly ga iss liye main uss sy khud hi contact ker lun ga lekin ussy kahon ga zaror k mairy peichhy na aaye, aur woh kuchh nahin kahey ga aagy sy… (And he chuckled little lost-ly while still looking away with…) Lekin tumhien nahin ptta woh bohut tezz hai, call bnd kerty hi jo pehla kaam woh kry ga woh uss call ki location trace kerwany ka kry ga, aur phir mairi… (And he nodded at the latter in complete confidence-filled-silence as…) Lekin main yeh bhi jaanta hoon k woh aaye ga nahin aur na hi kabhi khud sy contact kry ga, bs intezar kry ga sahi waqt ka ya mairy bulany ka… (And he shrugged in silence with…) Whichever comes first…

And giving him a broken smile, Daya turned his face away while gulping down a silent breath when…

Abhijeet's silent voice reached his ears as: Shaid tum theek keh rahy ho Daya… (Daya looked at him in question who added in same silent-soft tone as…) Ho sakta hai maira bhai mujh sy contact kerna chahta ho lekin kabhi kabhi insan qismet k aagy haar jata hai… (Daya gave him a supportive-encouraging look in return where giving him a soft smile, Abhijeet inhaling a long deep breath, told him in fresh tone as…) Achha chalo, bohut baatien ho gaien, ab tum rest kro, main bhi bahir jata hoon… (And seeing the instant tension appeared in the latter's body-language, Abhijeet assured him before he could say a word as…) Don't worry, main ab theek hoon bilkul… (And noticing the latter's tensed body-language easing out a little, he continued in warmth-filled smile as…) Bl k kuchh zada hi theek feel ker raha hoon ab tou, jaisy aankh k dard k bahany kuchh aur dard khatam ho gaye hoon bilkul… (And receiving a silent-confused look in return, Abhijeet completed in a friendly way as…) Zada mt socho aur rest kro, hmm, main bahir hi hoon, ager tumhien kuchh chahiye hua tou…?!

And giving a soft-care-filled smile to the now silently sitting soul, Abhijeet stood up and soon left the room while taking the medicines and glass with himself, though had left the water-bottle in the room…

Where in the room Daya silently moved back at his place and resting his head against the wall, started looking away far in space with a very subtle silent smile on his face…

Lounge…

On the other side, coming out from the room and placing the things on their places, Abhijeet left towards the guest room, and carefully peeped in the room to confirm that Sunil was asleep… Getting satisfied from his side, Abhijeet returned in the lounge and while sitting on the couch, he randomly switched on the TV sidewise opening Daya's room's feed on his mobile and started waiting for him to fall asleep as they had already decreased the dose of his medicines so now he used to take time to fall asleep and that's why Abhijeet kept sitting with him even after he had taken his medicines, knowing that it was Okay and would do no harm to him…

But soon getting bored, because of his mind still present in his few minutes' back conversation with his brother, Abhijeet switched off the Television and grabbed his mobile again to find Daya sitting there in silence with his eyes closed now…

Abhijeet kept looking at the latter in silence for some time and then softly spread his fingers on the mobile screen with love-filled-pain as: Ptta nahin qismet kaisa khail khail gae humary sath yar, kaash tu ny ghar sy jany wali bewakoofi na ki hoti… (But then gulping down a moist breath, he added himself as…) Lekin phir tujh sy zindagi ny chhena hi itna kuchh k jo reh gaya hai, woh bhi na chhin jaye, iss khof ny tujh sy woh qadam uthwa dia… (Added in real pain as…) Tairi olad k jany ki khaber k baad tu sambhla hi nahin bchcha aur phir Sunil py hony wala hamla woh aakhri wajah sabit hua js k baad tujhy sb chhor k jana hi sahi lgga… (Looked at the injured-ly with…) Kaash main tujhy keh sakta Daya k tairy theek hoty hi khushian taira intezar ker rahi hoon gi lekin main tou tujhy yeh bhi nahin keh sakta… Kabhi kabhi mujhy bohut ajeeb sa drr bhi lgta hai Daya kyun k tujhy sb yaad aany ka matlab ho ga, tujhy tairi olad ka bhi yaad aana… Uss sb andhero'n mein aik wohi tou roshni thi, uss k aany ki umeed, js ko ly k tu phir sy sapny daikhny lgga tha, phir sy tairy ander zindagi ki umeed nazar aai thi mujhy, phir sy tu muskuraya tha, aik easi muskurahat js mein dard nahin tha, sirf umeed thi, sirf umeed…

And inhaling a long deep breath, he silently rested his head on the head-rest while looking far in space, having a silent smile on his face, with the soothing memory running in his brain as…

DUO's Home…

Nearly two weeks had passed since Anirudh had filed the case against Amavasya from Daya's side for the custody of Daya's unborn child and so-far the case was looking inclined on Daya's side because there was complete silence from Amavasya's side, who didn't bother to appear in the court even after the court-notice, so the case was sort of going on one-sidedly and the CID family was quite hopeful that they would win the case…

It was another routine day in DUO's home and after having breakfast, both brothers were now present in their respective rooms when after getting ready for the Bureau, Abhijeet directly made his way towards Daya's room and stopped on the door-step in pleasant surprise to find Daya sitting beside the opened room's window, looking at his mobile screen while having a silent smile on his face…

Daya's Room…

For few moments Abhijeet kept looking at him like that and then inhaling deeply to compose his emotions and thoughts…

Abhijeet stepped forward while asking in fresh tone as: Kya baat hai bhae, subah subah kya daikh k yun akely hi akely muskuraya ja raha hai, hmm…?

And in the meantime he had grabbed the chair across Daya who had already closed his mobile's screen, as soon as had heard his voice and…

Daya slightly shook his head while trying to behave casual as: Nahin, kuchh bhi nahin, easey hi bs…

Abhijeet gave him a disappointed look with: Tou bhae main bhi easey hi muskura lun ga, bttao tou…?

Daya gave him a hesitant look with: Tum hsso gy tou nahin…?

Abhijeet hiding his pleasant smile, shook his head with: Bilkul nahin… (And still feeling the doubtful stare on himself, nodded assuredly with…) Promise, bilkul nahin hsso'n ga…

Daya giving him a reluctant nod, opened his mobile-screen again and in hidden excitement forwarded his mobile towards the latter, who in excited-confused smile grabbed that from him and soon a broad smile came on his face with warmth in his eyes and…

Abhijeet looked at the latter with so much love and care present in his voice as: Iss liye sahab ko internet connection wala mobile chahiye tha, hmm…?

Daya gave him a reluctant smile with: Hmm… (And started telling him the details in hidden excitement as…) Ptta hai Abhi kitni sari websites hain, aur hr tarhan ka saman available hai bchchon ka, cot sy ly ker, kapry, jooty, khilony, blankets, sb kuchh… Main filhal sirf websites daikh raha hoon different, reviews waghaira bhi, ta k jo sb sy achhi wali website ho na wahan sy shopping krien phir hum…

Abhijeet, who was listening to him in constant smile having loads of sooth inside and was really hopeful now that his child would bring him back in life, replied in fresh tone as: Woh sb tou theek hai lekin websites kyun, hum log khud jaien gy na mall aur…

But…

Daya un-deliberately cut him right there instantly with: Nahin Abhi, main mall nahin jaon ga… (Abhijeet looked at him in silence where Daya gulping down a silent breath, grabbed back his mobile, while adding, trying to sound fresh as…) Yun bhi websites py sb kuchh tou available hai tou kya zarorat hai phir mall ja k khud ko thakany ki…

Abhijeet gave him a composed smile with: Achha chal chhor… (Completed sweetly as…) Aik baar samey aany dy, dono jaghon sy hi ker lien gy shopping, hmm…?

Daya looked at him with hope-filled eyes as: Abhi woh samey aaye ga na Boss…?

Abhijeet nodded to him assuredly while securing his hand in his own with: Bilkul aaye ga Daya, Amavasya ya Shastri, dono hi aik baar bhi court mein present nahin hoye tou Daman akela kahan tk case lttka ly ga, bs tu bhagwan py vishvas rakh, hmm…?! (Daya nodded to him with moist eyes and gave him a smile that was filled with hope and dreams where Abhijeet smoothly freeing his hand, completed in same soft-friendly tone as…) Chal ab tu ker yeh jo ker raha tha, dhond sb sy achhi website, shaam mein milty hain, hmm…

Daya nodded to him in small smile with: Khayal rakhna apna...

Abhijeet smiled at him softly with: Tu bhi...

And giving a soft pat on his cheek, Abhijeet stood up and soon left towards the room-door but stopping on the door-step, he turned towards the younger one, to find him engrossed in his mobile screen again while having a light smile on his face, deepening Abhijeet's smile too who prayed with his complete sincerity and the depth of his heart, for that smile to last an eternity and a-day, with a complete hope for his prayer to get heard and answered too…

And a silent drop of pain and hurt silently slipped down from the corner of the now hurting soul, bringing him back from the soothing past to the hurting present…
