Now coming to this OS, it is based on the episode "Hotel Decent", I have written it long back, in fact years back I think as I don't even remember when did I write it, don't know why never posted it, it might have skipped my mind, hehe, though it was a good thing as not posting it earlier have now allowed me to make some changes in it, so finally I am posting another OS, yups back-to-back two OSs, feeling proud on myself, hahaha… :D :P
An apology from my side in advance if any of my word will hurt anyone… :))

DUO-MRF…
Mumbai…
It was the start of summers and after so many days of completely unexpected heavy rainfall, finally today the sun showed its face bringing the life back with a bright sunny morning…
DUO's Home…
Study Room…
Inside the home, Abhijeet could be seen present in his study room, sitting on the rocking chair placed near the opened window, enjoying the soft breeze wearing a constant smile on his face… His smile deepened seeing the kids of his society were excitedly turning their Sunday into a Fun-day by bringing cricket-kits from their homes and now busy in doing the toss when the ringing of Abhijeet's mobile phone demanded his attention… Sighing internally, Abhijeet throwing another smiley glance on the kids, turned his gaze towards his mobile and leaning a little forward, he grabbed his ringing mobile from the table and after looking at the caller ID, his a deep-warm smile formed on his face and…
Abhijeet attended the call smilingly with: Haan tou bhae Sunil, aa gaye tum wapis… Kaisa raha tumhara Australia ka trip…?
Sunil replied in light smile as: Bs yar aaj early morning pohancha hoon ghar aur trip kahan tha dost, boring si medical conference thi, achhi ho gae wasey… (And taking a momentary pause, asked in concerned tone as…) Khair tum suunao, kaisy ho ab aur kb aa raha hai Snr. Ins. Abhijeet wapis maidan mein…? Recovery kahan tk pohanchi hai tumhari…? Bhabhi btta rahi thien k kal tumhara visit bhi tha doctor ka, kya bnna phir…?
Abhijeet, sounding a little annoyed, replied as: Yar main tou khud tang aa gaya hoon ghar baith baith k, bs kal hi jaan chhuti hai uss plaster sy, srr ki bandage tou thankfully pehly hi uttar gae thi… Sach mein Sunil, itna brra tou maira srr bhi nahin hai yar jitni brri uss doctor ny bandage bandh di thi…
Sunil chuckled with: Tum bhi na Abhijeet… Aur uss doctor ko shoq thori hai tumhary srr py zulm kerny ka, ks ny kaha tha tumhien k uss criminal k peichhy uss building sy high-jump, long-jump krro… (Completed little mischievously as…) Apni umr ka hi thora khayal kro tum, ab umr kahan rahi hai tumhari iss tarhan k adventures kerny ki…
Abhijeet nodded while replying little heatedly as: Bilkul bilkul, wasey main ny bhi suuna hai k burhapy mein boriat jaldi ho jati hai cheezon sy, kahin yehi wajah tou nahin hai tumhien tumhari conference boring lggny ki, haan…? (Sunil just laughed lightly in reply where jerking his head, Abhijeet told him as…) Aur miss-stepping ho gae thi yar warna building itni ounchi nahin thi, nahin tou maira tou oper ka ticket ktt…
Sunil cut him instantly in a little loud tone as: Abhijeet chup raho bilkul tum, pagal… (Abhijeet get silent having a light smile on his face easily sensing the care and fear in the latter's tone where composing himself, Sunil trying to change the topic, told him in a little strict tone as…) Achha khair ab plaster uttarny ka yeh matlab bilkul nahin hai k tum kal hi Bureau pohanchy ho, main ny bhabhi ko bhi btta dia hai, tumhien bhi keh raha hoon porri ehtiyat kerna, theek hai…?
Abhijeet complained with: Sneha ko yeh sb kehny ki kya zarort thi, uss ko tou pehly hi bhagwan moqqa dy bs mujhh py order chalany ka… (Sunil chuckled while Abhijeet asked him as…) Aur wasey tumhari kb baat hue uss sy…? Uss ny bttaya hi nahin mujhy…
Sunil replied him casually as: Bs yar kal Australia sy hi baat ki thi unn sy… Mumbai k kharab mosam ki wajah sy kuchh idea hi nahin tha k kb tk pohanchon ga wapis tou socha flight mein baithny sy pehly aik baar tum sy baat ker lun lekin bhabhi ny btaya k tum medicines ly k soo rahy ho tabhi ab ghar pohanch k dobara call ker li…
Abhijeet nodded with: Ooh achha, haan woh bs kal hospital gaya tha na tou doctor ny strictly advice ki thi k ghar ja k rest kron aur soo jaon… (Made a face while telling him as…) Sneha sath hi thi tou doctor ki baat gool kerny ka tou koe raasta hi nahin tha, ghar aaty hi sedative dy diye uss ny mujhy aur main soo gaya… (Taking a momentary pause, asked him in a composed tone as…) Wasey tum kal aa rahy ho Mamta Foundation…?
Sunil nodded firmly while replying as: Of course yar, issi liye tou kal conference khatam hoty hi wapis aa gaya main, Mumbai ki tou koe direct flight hai nahin Australia sy lekin thankfully Delhi ki mil gae aur phir wahan sy Mumbai ki ly li, char ghanty wait kerna prra airport py, connecting flight jo nahin thi koe lekin shuker hai k pohanch gaya time sy wapis… (And taking few moments' pause, asked in a balanced tone as…) Aur tumhien phone kerny ki aik wajah yeh bhi thi k mujhy tum sy issi silsily mein kuchh baat kerni thi…
Abhijeet, getting alert, nodded with: Haan tou kaho yar, kya baat kerni hai tumhien…?
Sunil taking a deep breath, tried softly as: Abhijeet tumhari tabiyt theek nahin hai yar aur injuries bhi bohut serious thien tumhari tou…
Abhijeet cut him instantly with: Sunil please ab tum yeh mtt kehna k main kal na jaon wahan, please…
Sunil tried to convince him as: Abhijeet please yar, tumhien rest ki zarorat hai, abhi kal tumhara plaster utra hai aur main tumhien wahan janey sy rook thori raha hoon aur na hi kabhi rook sakta hoon… Aik baar bilkul theek ho jao tum phir chaly jana na baad mein kabhi…
Abhijeet asked in complete serious tone as: Tum sy aik sawal pouchhon Sunil…?
Sunil nodded confusingly with: Haan, pouchho…?
Abhijeet asked in straight tone as: Itny kharab mosam mein, jb k Mumbai k liye koe connecting flight bhi nahin mil rahi thi, tum itni emergency mein kyun aaye wapis…? Tum bhi tou doo char din ruuk k aa sakty thy, Mamta Foundation tou tum bhi kabhi bhi ja sakty ho, hai na…?
Sunil who was completely quiet now, uttered a silent Sorry where…
Abhijeet inhaled deeply with: Main tumhien bura feel nahin kerwana chah raha yar, I know tumhien mairi perwah hai tabhi tum easa chah rahy thy lekin main kahin py bhi hoon Sunil, koe mission, conference, sting operation, kuchh bhi, tou bhi kaisy bhi ker k iss date ko wahan zaror pohanchta hoon main… Aur ab sirf inn thori bohut choton ki wajah sy na jaon, easa nahin ho sakta bilkul… (Looking outside on the sky, said smilingly as…) Aur tumhien pata hai Sunil, mujhy pura vishvas tha k 03rd April sy pehly pehly yeh mosam zaror khul jaye ga kyun k bhagwan itna kathor nahin ho sakta aur daikho, khul gaya aaj mosam…
Sunil replied in fresh tone as: Sahi keh rahy ho tum bilkul Abhijeet… Achha chalo ab tum bhi rest karo, mujhy bhi Vidhi bula rahi hai nashty k liye, main tum sy kal wahin milta hoon phir, khayal rakhna apna, bye…
Abhijeet replied in light smile as: Hmm theek hai, bhabhi ko namasty kehna maira, bye and take care…
And the call ended from both sides in small smiles…
Exhaling a deep breath while spreading hands on his face, Abhijeet placing the mobile on the centre-table, soon again turned his gaze outside the window, enjoying the happy cheerful kids when a soft touch of hand on his shoulder softly demanded his attention and with a little jerk, turning his gaze in the direction the person was standing to find his wife standing there holding a tray…
Abhijeet said in disappointed smile as: Sneha, drra dia tum ny yar… Kb aai tum…?
Sneha smilingly grabbed him the juice glass with: Main bs abhi aai hoon, fresh juice bnaya tha aap k liye lekin aap pehly phone py busy thy iss liye wapis chali gae thi…
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Thank you… (And while taking a sip sidewise signalling her to grab a seat added as…) Sunil ki call thi, kal jana hai na orphanage, ussi barey mein pouchh raha tha woh…
Sneha nodded with: Sahi sahi… (And then asked him caringly as…) Wasey aap ko kafi dair nahin ho gae yahan baithy hoye Abhijeet, aap ki tang swell ho sakti hai phir sy… Aap ab room mein ja k rest kyun nahin ker laity thora sa…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Haan yar bs yahan aa k baitha tha book ly ker lekin neechy yeh bchchy aa gaye khailny k liye aur inhien daikhty hoye waqt guzarny ka pata hi nahin chala bilkul, thori daer tk jata hoon room mein…
Sneha nodded while standing with: Chalien theek hai, jaisy aap ki marzi lekin ager aap ko koe bhi kaam ho tou mujhy bula lijiye ga please, main bahir hi baithi hoon lounge mein…
Abhijeet nodded in assurance with a soft smile and Sneha in an understanding smile, giving an assuring pressure on his shoulder left from there, leaving the tray on the centre-table now… Where Abhijeet had started looking outside again but slowly it started looking like that he was now just looking outside, not seeing anything, mentally present at some other time and place where…
Flashback…
CITY Hospital…
OT Area…
It was more than two hours since the CID family was standing outside the operation theatre in fear and worry, praying and hoping to hear something good about the heart of CID who was inside the OT after taking two bullets in his body, fired from Aditi's gun who was behind the bars now…
To the family, it was feeling like the time was moving forward at a really slow pace when finally they all sprang up from their seats, standing there in alert positions, seeing the red bulb of the OT had finally turned off and after few minutes, the doctor emerged from inside and…
Abhijeet instantly lunged on him while asking worriedly as: Doctor, Daya kaisa hai…? Theek hai na woh…? Aap ny golian nikal dien hain uss k shareer sy sb…?
Dr. looking at him quietly pressed his shoulder with: Calm down Abhijeet, relax please…
ACP sir seconded his son with: Anuj, hum relax tou tb hoon gy na jb tum humien kuchh btao gy, please btao humien, operation kamyab raha na Daya ka…?
Dr. Anuj, inhaling deeply, replied in a slow-professional tone as: Sir hum ny bullets nikal dien hain dono aur Daya ko ICU room mein bhi shift ker dia hai…
They all relieved relax sighs when seeing Dr. Anuj's serious facial expressions…
Dr. Salunkhy asked him in complete serious tone as: Ager sb kuchh theek hai tou phir tum itny tense kyun lg rahy ho Anuj…?
Dr. Anuj looked at him with: Kyun k sb kuchh theek nahin hai sir…
All, who had already got serious listening to Dr. Salunkhy's query, got worried again listening to that reply and…
Freddy instantly asked him as: Kya matlab hai aap ka doctor…? Daya sir tou theek hain na…?
Dr. Anuj inhaled a deep breath and replied consolingly as: I don't know any easier way to say it… (Taking a momentary pause, he told them as…) Daya k paas zada samey nahin hai… (They all got froze on their places while Dr. Anuj continued as…) Unn k paas ab bs kuchh hi dair ki zindagi hai, I am really sorry, aap log unn sy mil…
And he got stopped, listening to…
Abhijeet's loud shout as: Just shut up doctor… (Added in angry-wet tone as…) Kya lagta hai aap ko k aap doctor hain tou kuchh bhi bkwas krien gy mairy bhai ko ly k…? (Asked him in pleading-moist tone as…) Arry aap doctor hain tou bachain na uss ko please, theek krien uss ko kisi bhi tarhan aap… Aap doctor ho k mairy Daya k barey mein easa kaisy bol sakty hain, haan…?
Dr. Anuj, who was looking at him in complete silence understanding his pain very well, replied in calm tone as: Main aap ki condition samajh sakta hoon Abhijeet lekin hum logon sy jo ho sakta tha hum ny kia hai… Humien bhi humary daish k aik janbaz sipahi ko yun moot k mun mein jata daikhna bohut takleef dy raha hai lekin Daya ki body mein golion k elawa kuchh internal injuries bhi hain, shaid unn ka accident bhi hua hai aur golion ny unn k heart aur aik lung ko damage ker dia hai aur phir blood loss bhi bohut zada tha unn ka… (Taking a pause, completed silently as…) Hum ny unhien ventilator py shift ker dia hai, aur main yehi advice kron ga k aap log unhien aik baar mil lien, iss sy pehly k dair ho jaye…
And giving a consoling pat on Abhijeet's shoulder, the doctor left from there where Abhijeet rushed towards the ICU room Daya was taken in…
ICU Room…
Abhijeet reached in front of the ICU room and stopped right there on the doorstep seeing his younger one lying in front of him and various machines and drips attached with his body and his eyes were closed… Abhijeet kept standing there like a statue for few moments and when did he slowly started moving towards his brother, he had no idea… Soon the team, who were behind him, also entered inside the room to find Abhijeet sitting beside his brother while grabbing his younger one's hand in his own, securely… Team with moist eyes stepped ahead and stopped in immense pain listening to…
Abhijeet's pain-filled voice as: Daya daikh aankhien khol na please, main hoon taira Abhi… Please yar aik baar aankhien khol dy… (Receiving only silence from the latter's side, he got angry while snubbing him as…) Daya khol dy na aankhien, bol dy na aik baar mujhy Abhi… Kyun nahin baat suun raha hai tu mairi, haan…? (And stamping a soft kiss on Daya's hand's upper side, Abhijeet rested Daya's securely wrapped hand on his own cheek while trying to make him believe about his presence there with…) Daikh Daya main hoon, hai na, please yar aik baar bol dy Abhi, please…
All eyes were holding moisture in them in silence when moving forward, ACP sir silently sat on the other side of his younger kid and…
ACP sir lovingly spread hand on Daya's head, calling him with loads of love and pain as: Daya…! (And Abhijeet moved his scared gaze towards him and then towards his brother in hope which soon turned into pain, seeing his closed eyes where ACP sir gulping down a moist breath, tried again as…) Daya aankhien kholo baita, utho, tum mairi hr baat maanty ho na, utho chalo shabash… (And receiving continuous silence in reply, ACP sir's trying to keep his voice firm though salty drops started forming in his eyes, asked him again as…) Daya aankhien kholo baita, utho, it's an order Daya, utho…
Where seeing him slowly breaking now, Dr. Salunkhy moving forward had consolingly pressed his shoulder though tears fell from his own eyes too where…
ACP sir looked towards him in extreme pain with: Tu kuchh ker na yar, tu bhi tou doctor hai, bacha na mairy baity ko tu please…
Dr. Salunkhy looked at him in extreme pain with: I am sorry yar, I am sorry…
And tears fell from both friends' eyes and they turned their hurt-filled-helpless gazes towards Daya, when not ready to accept what soon going to happen…
Abhijeet asked Daya angrily as: Daya tu suun nahin raha kya k sir ny kya kaha hai tujhy, sir ny uthny ka kaha hai na tujhy tou…
And he shut there abruptly while instantly standing and turning his gaze towards the monitor listening to its loud beeping voice and then he again turned his scared gaze towards Daya's face who was breathing really heavily now… Nurse had already called Dr. Anuj who rushed inside and they started trying their best to save another life which was collapsing where the whole CID family was standing there holding their breaths and praying their hearts out…
When after few nerve-shattering minutes, silence engulfed everything, even the monitor got silent showing only ONE STRAIGHT LINE there…
JAAAAAN WALIYA VYYY SANU, RAAH-CHY BITHA GAYOOO,
JAAAAAN WALIYA VYYY SANU, RAAH-CHY BITHA GAYO,
SACH'CHIIII MURR AAVE GA JA, AIWEIN LARA LA GAYOOO…
Moving back, Dr. Anuj turned towards the team who were still standing there in complete disbelief state and came out from their stunned phase listening to…
Dr. Anuj's really quiet voice as: I am sorry, he is no more…
Fresh tears fell down from many eyes and Freddy and Nikhil were crying loudly now when ACP sir slowly moving forward, stood beside his younger son and with aching heart and soul, he lovingly spread hand on his head and stamped a love-filled-soft kiss on his forehead, bidding him farewell and for the last time feeling his warm body which was now slowly turning cold, where tears rained down from his both eyes in silence…
When Dr. Salunkhy wiping off his completely wet face, moving forward consolingly pressed ACP sir's shoulder while trying to fight back his own tears with: Pradyuman sambhalo khud ko please, sambhalo tum…
ACP sir turned his teary gaze towards him, holding immense pain in it and before he could say him something, his gaze fell on his elder son who was standing there like a statue, with completely dry eyes, looking in extreme shock and disbelief with his gaze still fixed on his brother's face…
Wiping off his showered face and trying to compose himself, ACP sir stepped towards him when stopped in his track, seeing Abhijeet rushing towards his brother's bed with a loud shout of "Nahin…!", and reaching closed to the bed, he pushed away the nurse hardly and…
Abhijeet snubbed him angrily as: Kyun uttar rahy ho tum Daya ka ventilator, haan, ks ny kaha hai tumhien…? Dikh nahin raha woh soo raha hai…! (All teary gazes shifted towards him in extreme fear and shock while Abhijeet turned towards his brother and sitting on his bed, softly grabbed his hand while lovingly creasing his head with...) Tu chinta nahin ker bchcha, main hoon na yahan… Koe tujhy disturb nahin karey ga, tu soo ja aaram sy, haan… (Placing a soft kiss on his forehead, told him smilingly as…) Aur tujhy aik good news bhi tou daini hai na yar, main maan gaya hoon tairy sath Goa chalny k liye, haan, sach, main khud baat karon ga sir sy, woh maan jaien gy chhutian dainy k liye, bs tu kisi baat ki chinta na ker… (Lovingly placed his hand on the latter's cheek with…) Tu tou maira achha wala bhai hai na, mairi hr baat maanta hai, haan…
And seeing him completely involved in talking to his brother now, smiling, even chuckling at times…
Dr. Salunkhy, who too was looking at him in extreme fear and shock like others, turned his scared gaze towards ACP sir and whispered as: Pradyuman…! (ACP sir, who was also trying to recover from the shock, turned his gaze towards Dr. Salunkhy and his whole body shivered loudly while the scare of his heart got denser seeing the expression in his buddy's eyes where Dr. Salunkhy told him in fear-filled-pain as…) Iss ko rulao Pradyuman, iss sy pehly k bohut dair ho jaye, iss ko rulao…
ACP sir somehow managing a nod gulped down a scared-moist-breath and wiping off his teary face, he looked towards his elder son to find him still busy with his younger one, having a light smile on his face… Inhaling a deep breath to compose himself, ACP sir left towards him with firm steps and reaching closed to Abhijeet, ACP sir softly placed his hand on his elder one's head who turned his gaze towards him and…
ACP sir asked him softly as: Mairy sath aao baita, kuchh baat kerni hai tum sy…
Abhijeet nodded slightly and turned towards his brother with: Daya mujhy sir bula rahy hain, main bs thori daer mein aaya, hmm…?
And placing a soft kiss on Daya's hand, Abhijeet rested back his hand on the bed with extreme care and then stood up while turning towards ACP sir, who grabbing his arm, took him to the other side of the room when seeing ACP sir still silent…
Abhijeet asked him restlessly as: Sir please jaldi baat krien na, Daya maira wait ker raha hai…
ACP sir asked in moist tone as: Kyun Abhijeet, kyun ker rahy ho tum easey, haan…? Sirf tumhara bhai tha kya Daya jo…
Abhijeet instantly cut him with: Tha nahin sir, Hai… (Signalled him towards Daya's bed with…) Woh daikhien sir, wahan…
And he stopped in shock seeing the nurses were busy in their work now and coming in rage, Abhijeet tried to leave towards them when…
ACP sir instantly clutched his wrist tightly with: Ruuk jao Abhijeet, kahan ja rahy ho tum…?
Abhijeet while trying to free his wrist, replied as: Sir please maira hath chhorien, woh daikhien woh Daya ko soony nahin dy rahy, tang ker rahy hain baar baar ussy… Main ny rokka bhi hai, phir bhi baar baar aa jaty hain…
ACP sir, grabbing him tightly from his both arms now, jerked him in anger-fileld-pain, telling him aloud as: Daya hamesha k liye soo gaya hai Abhijeet, woh chala gaya hai, hamesha hamesha k liye chala gaya hai woh…
Abhijeet removed ACP sir's grip from him with a loud jerk and shook his head with: Nahin, kahin nahin gaya woh… Uss ny kaha tha woh mujhy akela chhour k nahin jaye ga kabhi, uss ny mairy bchchon ko humari dosti ki kahanian suunani hain, hum ny wada kia tha humari dosti k beech mein kuchh nahin aaye ga tou mou-mout kaisy aa sakti hai phir, haan…? (And he rushed towards Daya's bed and started shaking him from his shoulder with…) Daya tu, tu khud btta sir ko… Please btta sir ko… Tu ny mujh sy wada kia tha na tu mujhy akela chhour k nahin jaye ga, haan…? Tu tou achhi-achhi sundar nurse daikhny k liye hospital mein admit hua hai, hai na…? Daikh na sir kya anaap shnaap bol rahy hain tujhy ly k, tu bol unhien k easa na kahien kuchh, uth please… (And receiving only silence from the other side, Abhijeet getting frustrated now, jerked his body while asking him angrily as...) Tu suun kyun nahin raha hai kuchh, haan…? Kyun nahin jawab dy raha koe…?
And seeing him going out-of-control now, CID family rushed forward and…
ACP sir while trying to remove Daya's cold body from Abhijeet's hands, asked him angrily: Abhijeet chhoro ussy, chhoro Daya ko foren tum, Abhijeet chhoro…
And finally they separated the two when Abhijeet, who was in extreme anger and not looking in his senses at-all, with his full force had jerked away all the hands who were grabbing him and standing from the bed now…
Abhijeet shouted loudly as: Aap log sb chahty hi nahin hain k Daya sakoon sy soo jaye thori dair, kaam kaam kaam, robot hai kya woh…? Kitna thak jata hai pata hai kuchh… Kb sy keh raha hai chhuti k liye aur jb nahin mili tou naraz ho k soo gaya hai, ab itna haq bhi nahin hai kya ussy… Sb k sb aa gaye hain tang kerny k liye mairy bhai ko, jaty kyun nahin hain aap sb yahan sy, haan, jaien yahan sy aap sb bahir…
ACP sir replied him stiffly in anger as: Kyun jaien hum yahan sy…? Tumhara bhai hai tou kya humara kuchh nahin hai yeh…? Humara koe haq nahin hai is spy…? Hum nahin chahty kya k issy sakoon milly, haan, jawab doo…?
When seeing ACP sir looking in much anger now…
Dr. Salunkhy tried to intervene as: Pradyuman please tum…
But…
ACP sir cut him with: Nahin Salunkhy tu kuchh nahin boly ga ab, koe beech mein nahin boly ga… (And his voice started becoming moist while adding as…) Aik baita kho chukka hoon main, dosra nahin kho sakta, kabhi nahin…
Dr. Salunkhy just nodded him with moist eyes where ACP sir again looked towards Abhijeet to find him looking visibly annoyed while looking away now, still grumbling…
ZINDAGI NU JION DA, KHAYAL VI TU DY GAYO,
ZINDAGI NU JION DA, KHAYAL VI TU DY GAYO…
Inhaling deeply, ACP sir stepped towards him and grabbing his arm, with jerk had turned Abhijeet towards himself and…
ACP sir, looking deep in Abhijeet's eyes, told in extreme serious tone as: Daya ab humary beech sirf aik meethi yaad bn k reh gaya hai Abhijeet, aur tumhien yeh baat svvikar kerni hi ho gi k… (Completed firmly while stressing on each next word as…) DAYA IS DEAD…
Abhijeet shouted loudly while jerking away ACP sir's hands with: Nahin, woh nahin mrr sakta, kuchh nahin ho sakta ussy, main nahin vishvas kron ga aap ki baat py kabhi, jhoot bol rahy hain aap… Aap, aap wahan nahin thy na jb hum Daya k paas gaye tabhi easey keh rahy hain aap… Hum, hum gaye thy, iss ny aankhien kholi thien, baat ki thi iss ny… Issi ny tou btaya tha k khooni koun hai… (And he rushed towards other members of his family with…) Sachin tum batao sir ko… Tum thy na mairy sath jb humien Daya mila, zinda tha na woh…! Tum, tum bolo Purvi, uss ny baat ki thi na hum sy…? Nikhil tum batao na sir ko… Tumhien tou Daya jaisa bn'nna hai na tou sir tumhary samny ussy ly k easa bol rahy hain, tum bol kyun nahin rahy ho kuchh, haan…? (And seeing their crying only got harded while listening to him, Abhijeet getting really frustrated, shouted loudly at them as…) Bnd karo tum sb log apna yeh roona, kya matam lgga rakha hai yahan py, pagal ho gaye ho kya tum sb log…? Aur ager tum mein sy kisi ny mairy bhai ko ly k koe fazool bkwas ki tou main jaan ly lun ga uss ki, kuchh nahin…
And he stopped abruptly with ACP sir losing his patience now had turned Abhijeet towards himself with a loud jerk and hit a really hard slap on his face… The slap was too hard and unexpected that Abhijeet fell on the floor where all were looking in horror-filled-shock and Freddy hurriedly stepped forward to help Abhijeet but stopped in his path with ACP sir's fiery gaze at him…
HANJU VI TU DY GAYO, RUMAL VI TU DY GAYO,
HANJUUU VI TU DY GAYO, RUMALLL VI TU DY GAYOOO…
When turning towards Abhijeet again who was still sitting there on the floor not minding the slap at-all but still busy in expelling his frustration in the form of grumbling while scratching the marbled floor with his index finger's nail where…
ACP sir told him angrily as: Bkwas yeh log nahin, tum ker rahy ho Abhijeet… Mrr gaya hai tumhara Daya… (Abhijeet looked at him in anger where ACP sir looked straight in his eyes in anger-filled-pain with…) Chheen lia hai bhagwan ny ussy tum sy, nahin chhu sako gy ab tum ussy kabhi dobara, nahin chhu sako gy…
And seeing Abhijeet had turned his gaze away again, as a sub-conscious effort to somehow unsee that truth in his father's eyes, ACP sir tiredly got seated on his knees in front of his elder son and forcefully pulled him in a tight-secure embrace and…
ACP sir in teary tone while rubbing his head, told him as: Abhijeet please baita hosh mein aao tum, iss umr mein apna aik baita kho chuka hoon main, dosra nahin kho sakta… Tumhara bhai humien dhoka dy gaya hai Abhijeet, woh apny sb wady toor gaya hai… Woh humien chhour k chala gaya hai baita, Daya hamesha k liye chala gaya hai… (While trying to make him cry, separating him from the hug, cupped his face while making him look towards himself with…) Ab koe nahin hai tumhien Bureau sy late kerwany k liye… Koe nahin hai js ko bachany k liye tum mujh sy jhoot bolo gy… Koe nahin hai jo apni sb files tum sy complete kerwaye ga, yeh sb nakhry kerny wala insan chala gaya hai Abhijeet… Ab koe nahin hai jo tumhien sttaye ga, zid karey ga, apni hr baat mnnwaye ga, tumhien…
And he stopped tearfully while pulling his kid in a tight embrace listening to his loud pain-filled shout who burst out loudly in tears while hugging his father with his full force and…
Abhijeet still crying bitterly, asked him in extreme pain as: Woh kyun chala gaya sir, itni dour kyun chala gaya…? Uss ny mujh sy wada kia tha k woh maira sath kabhi nahin chhoury ga phir kaisy ker sakta hai woh mairy sath easa, kaisy…?
RAKH LAIYAN TAIRIANNN, MAIN SAMBH SABHI CHITHIAN,
RAKH LAIYAN TAIRIANNN, MAIN SAMBH SABHI CHITHIAN,
HANS HANS ASSAN NU ROVAN YAADAN MEETHIAN…
ACP sir in tears just kept consoling him through his loving touch and support when after few minutes, Abhijeet's crying voice, which was continuously diminishing, got completely stopped and calling his name, ACP sir getting worried, caringly separated him from the hug and Abhijeet's head fell on one side… The whole family got hell tensed and started patting his cheeks, even splashed water on his face while continuously calling his name when seeing him not responding to anything, Freddy rushed to call the doctor who had left with his team, leaving the family alone where other members of the family had shifted him on the same bed Daya was on, who was taken to the morgue now…
After few minutes, Dr. Anuj arrived there and after Abhijeet's complete check-up…
Dr. Anuj turned towards ACP sir with: Sir, ghabrany ki koe baat nahin hai, BP low ho gaya hai bohut inn ka, injection dy dia hai kuchh ghanton mein hosh aa jaye ga… Late Senior Inspector Daya ki death ka shock bohut brra hai inn k liye, inhien khud ko sambhalny mein samey lgga ga shaid, aap logon ko himmet sy kaam laina ho ga please…
And glancing over the team he left from there when ACP sir silently sat on the chair present beside the bed, securing his elder son's hand in his own while softly creasing in his head… Where the others members left from there heavy-heartedly, leaving the two alone and also to complete all the official formalities and make arrangements as they wanted to perform Daya's last rituals the same day…
After few hours, Abhijeet gained his conscious and was trying his best to look composed and strong and the same day's late evening, the whole CID family and Sunil, who was informed through Freddy, attended the post-ritual ceremony of their deary friend and officer where Abhijeet performed all the last rituals of his brother…
After performing Daya's last rites, they all returned to their homes with aching hearts and teary eyes where ACP sir had taken Abhijeet to his own home…
JIND BNNN JIND NU JANJAL VI TU DY GAYO,
JIND BNNN JIND NU JANJAL VI TU DY GAYO…
ACP sir's Home…
Night was slowly spreading its darkness around and all the residents of the home were sitting in their respective rooms, trying to console themselves and digest what destiny had done with them when around 11 of the late-night the door-bell of the home rang and ACP sir's home's helper went to open the door and wiping of his moist eyes, he opened the main door and recognizing the visitor…
The home's helper greeted him in moist tone as: Sunil baita, aao baita, ander aao…
Sunil nodding slightly entered in the home while mouthing a thanks and while trying to remain composed, asked him as: Abhijeet yahan hai na Ramu Kaka…?
Ramu Kaka nodded while telling him in moist tone as: Opper hai, apny kamry mein… Jb sy aaya hai khud ko kamry mein band kia hua hai uss ny, kisi sy baat nahin ker raha koe…
Sunil nodded while gulping down a moist breath and without saying him anything, he left towards Abhijeet's room and reaching in front of the room door…
Sunil softly knocked the room door with: Abhijeet drwaza kholo please, main hoon, Sunil… (Receiving no response in return, he knocked again with…) Abhijeet drwaza kholo, mujhy ptta hai tum jaag rahy ho… Abhijeet… (And seeing still closed room door in front of him, he knocked a little hardly this time, looking like bursting out into tears though sounding angry with…) Abhijeet drwaza kholo please, js ki yaad mein tum ander baith k roo rahy ho, main uss k bachpan ka dost hoon, drwazy sy hi loota doo gy kya tum mujhy, haan…? (And still listening to silence in return, he told him in angry-wet tone as…) Theek hai Abhijeet, mairy bachpan k dost ko bhagwan ny mujh sy chheen lia aur uss k bhai ko tum chheen lo, ker doo mujhy akela, main…
And he stopped abruptly seeing the room door got opened now and Abhijeet was standing there with red-swollen eyes and messy hair with teary puffed face and without wasting any more second, Sunil just hugged him really tightly and both friends burst out into tears loudly while absorbing each others' pain in their shoulders… ACP sir had heard all that but did not come there, allowing them to console each other…
HANJU VI TU DY GAYO, RUMAL VI TU DY GAYO,
HANJUUU VI TU DY GAYO, RUMALLL VI TU DY GAYOOO…
After few minutes they both separated from the hug and moved inside Abhijeet's room where the two kept sitting beside each other in complete silence now, trying to compose themselves…
When slowly trying to find his voice back, Sunil taking out a USB from his shirt's pocket, forwarded it towards Abhijeet, who glancing over it, looked towards Sunil in question-filled-silence and…
Sunil replied in heavy tone as: Dd… Daya ny kaha tha ager… (And hiding his face in his palms, he started crying again while saying in teary tone as…) Bohut lrra tha main uss din uss sy k kya fazool bkwas ker raha hai, pata nahin tha na k aik din woh sb sach ho jaye ga… (Fresh pearls fell from Abhijeet's eyes too who wiping them off supportively pressed Sunil's shoulder though words had died in his throat where wiping off his teary and struggling to compose himself, he tried again as…) Tumhary liye di thi uss ny, main ny daikhi nahin kabhi, bs uss ny kaha tha k tumhien dy dun…
Abhijeet with blur image and slightly shivering hands grabbed the USB from him and Sunil rushed out from the room, closing his room door on his back…
Where Abhijeet kept looking at the USB for few moments and then suddenly burst out in tears loudly while hugging the USB near his heart… After few minutes of composing himself, Abhijeet slowly stood up and reaching near his room's TV, he attached the USB with the TV and moving back, switched on the TV and then opened the USB to find a file folder with the name of Life there… Abhijeet opened it and there were different videos there with numberings one, two, three and so on…
ULJHI EH TARI, SULLLJHAWAN JINIEN VAAR VI,
ULJHI EH TARIII SULLLJHAWAN JINIEN VAAR VI,
TAIRY NAAL PYAR HAI VY TAIRA AETBAR VI…
Inhaling deeply and encouraging himself, Abhijeet played the video number as one and felt like crying again seeing his brother's face, with his evergreen smile, present on the screen now and…
Daya's smiley voice rose in the room as: Hello Boss, aaj yeh nahin pouchhon ga k kaisy ho, kyun k of course, udaas hi ho gy tumhary zulm sehny wala masoom prrani jo bhaag gaya… (Abhijeet unknowingly chuckled with teary eyes listening to his silly brother as…) Wasey tumhien kya laga tha Boss k main chala gaya tou bs tumhari jaan chhout gae mujhh sy, haan…? Easa kabhi nahin ho sakta, main kabhi mairy Kharos Boss ko chhour k nahin ja sakta… (A drop slipped from Abhijeet's eye in real pain where sounding serious now, Daya continued as…) Main jaanta hoon Boss k iss samey tum ks takleef sy guzar rahy ho gy lekin Abhi, tum hi tou hamesha kehty ho na yar k zindagi kabhi rukti nahin hai, the show must go on, right…? (Tears were rolling down from Abhijeet's eyes in speed now while Daya continued as…) Abhi socho zrra, ager mairi jagah tum aur tumhari jagah main hota tb kya tumhien wahan sakoon sy reh sakty thy mujhy yahan itni takleef mein daikh k, haan…? (Abhijeet gulped down a moist breath where Daya composing himself said in a fresh tone, cutely as…) Tum kehty ho na hamesha Boss k maira dimagh ulty kaamon mein hamesha bohut chalta hai, main ny yahan bhi apna dimagh chala lia Abhi… (Asked him in a little moist tone as…) Main ny kaha tha na k tumhary bchchon ko humari dosti ki kahanian suunao ga main… (Abhijeet started crying with voice again where Daya gulping down moisture in his throat, told him as…) Tou main ny apna woh wada pura kia hai Boss, inn baqi videos mein main ny tumhary bchchon k liye kahanian record ki hain, shak tha na mujhy tum py kahin tum khud ko aqalmand portray kerny k chakker mein, mujhy bewakoof hi na portray ker doo… (Abhijeet chuckled between tears where Daya wiping off his moist eyes, asked him pleadingly as…) Please Boss, main ny apna wada pura kia hai, ab wada pura kerny ki baari tumhari hai Abhi, please Boss shadi ker laina please aur apni zindagi mein aagy berh jana… (Daya told him in smiley tone as…) Main ny kabhi tumhien btaya nahin hai Boss k kahin tum maghroor hi na ho jao… (Abhijeet chuckled though tears fell down from his both eyes simultaneously, listening to his brother telling him as…) Lekin aaj btta raha hoon k tum bohut strong ho Abhi, mujh sy tou kahin zada iss liye ab tumhien zindagi mein aagy bhi berhana hai Boss aur ACP sir k dono bazu bhi tumhien hi bn'nana hai aur main jaanta hoon k tum yeh ker sakty ho, please Boss, mairi khatir hi sahi lekin please berh jana aagy… (And concluded the video with…) Apna bohut khayal rakhna Abhi aur hamesha yaad rakhna Boss, that I love my Kharos Boss… See you Boss, just not so soon… (And he winked at his brother…)

SONIYA VY SAHAN TY SAWAL VI TU DY GAYO…
Present…
Abhijeet was sitting there, looking deeply involed in reliving those mixture of aching and soothing moments while the word "Boss" was still echoing in his ears and it took him few moments to realize that it wasn't echoing in his mind but someone in reality was calling him continuously and Abhijeet confusingly looked towards his knee to find a small hand placed there and he turned his gaze towards the owner of that tiny hand to find the worried face of his nearly five years old toddler in front of him and…
The small angry-bird instantly complained him as: Kya Boss, kb sy bula raha hoon main aap ko Papa aur aap jawab hi nahin dy rahy…
Abhijeet smilingly tweaked his nose with: Sorry mairi jaan, mujhy bilkul ptta hi nahin chala k maira chhutu sa Jay mujhy aawazien dy raha hai…
Jay made a fowning face and then strictly made another query as: Aur aap iss tarhan sy chair py kyun soo rahy hain…? Doctor uncle ny mn'na kia tha na aap ko… Mummy ko complaint kron…?
Abhijeet pulling him towards himself now smoothly took him in his lap with: Idher aao aap Maa k chamchy… (Placing a soft kiss on his son's cheek, added as…) Aik tou subah uth k koe Hello Hi nahin, seedha dantt, aur ab Mummy ko complaint kerny ki dhamki bhi, very sad…
Jay looked at him with care-filled-innocence as: Phir aap apni care kia krien na Papa please, ab aap uthien gy tou aap ko pain ho ga na…
Abhijeet lovingly squeezed his kid in a hug with: Nahin ho ga koe pain, maira pain-killer aa jo hai mairy paas…
Jay smiled sweetly and then jumping down from his father's lap, forwarded his small hand towards his father with: Achha chalien aaien phir aap, room mein chalty hain…
Abhijeet smilingly grabbed his son's little hand with: Okay sir…
And standing with the support of his walking stick, sidewise grabbing his kid's supportive hand, he moved out from the study listening to…
Jay asking him as: Papa kal jb hum Chachu k liye rakhi hue pooja mein jaien gy tou wahan Aarav bhi aaye ga na…?
Abhijeet nodded in small smile with: Bilkul aaye ga baita, Sunil uncle aaien gy tou unn ka gudda bhi tou aaye ga na sath… (Lovingly rufled his hair with…) Jaisy Papa ka yeh pyara sa gudda jaye ga Papa k sath…
And his gudda protested loudly while placing hand in his head with: Papa yar, mairy baal nahin kharab krien please…
And Abhijeet burst out a loud laugh, sidewise lifting his kid in his lap and placed a hard kiss on his cheek and the same moment, his gaze fell on his brother's smiley photo hanging there in the lounge's wall, and he started having some silent conversation with him…
HANJU VI TU DY GAYO, RUMAL VI TU DY GAYO,
HANJUUU VI TU DY GAYO, RUMALLL VI TU DY GAYOOO…
When soon left inside his room, answering another query of his inquisitive natured kid, wearing a constant smile on his face…
