Abhijeet passed by Acp sir and move inside salunkhe s room. But as he saw the glance of lying him on bed with closed eyes and pale face, something sharp pierced inside his heart, that's what he felt . With measuring slow steps his feet came close to the person, from whom he shared the strangest relation ...A bond which he had never shared with anyone. Abhijeet materialised himself on tool , placing near bed and kept his hand on salunkhe's forehead. Abhijeet gets worried after touching his forehead, which was burning as coal...he took his name softly in care-fiiled tone which has elements of fear too " sir "
Salunkhe opened his eyes hearing the special tone which can only be spoke by one person..his dull eye ball moved and take a glance of the person which is sitting beside him with pure concerns , showing in his brown expressive eyes..
Abhijeet relaxed a bit when he noticed his open eyes..cupping his soft wrinkled hand in his smooth grip he said in care-fiiled -smiled " sir aap bilkul tension mat lijiye...aap bahut jaldi acche ho jaenge "
Salunkhe was looking at him with unblinking eyes as he was trying to read something... Abhijeet frowned a bit finding salunkhe sir's gaze over him " kya hua sir, aap aise kya dekh rahe hai ? " ( salunkhe turned his head avoiding him )
Acp sir and Daya came there meanwhile.. Daya came to his side of brother, standing near Abhijeet..he asked in soft tone " kaise hai aap sir ? "
Salunkhe replied in flaccid tone " Theek hun "
Acp sir sat beside his friend and said in sweet smirk " theek kaise nahi hoga...tumdono jo aye ho isse milne "
Salunkhe asked in weak tone " bola tha na...inhe...kuch nahi batane...(in hurt ) fir kyun bataya "
" yaar maine inhe kuch nahi bataya "
" jhoot mat bolo ..agar tume mai bojh lagne laga tha to mujhe direct bol dete..mai kahin aur chala jata "
Acp sir in angry tone " salunkhe tu pagal ho gaya hai kya ...tujhe lagta hai mai tere mana karne ke baad bhi inhe kuch bataunga ? "
Abhijeet in flat tone , other can say it was just a emotionless tone but not them who knows him better..they can find the hidden anger in it " aapke dost bilkul theek keh rahe hai Salunkhe saheb... ( just once his eyes met with Acp sir but as soon it's met he changed his direction to salunkhe sir ) unhone hume kuch nahi bataya hai ...( he sighed ) wo to Sanjog kahiye jo Daya mujhe aaj jabardasti karke hospital le gaya dressing karana , aur humne aapke dost ko dekh liye Doctor desmukh se baat karte...( In tease but hurt was included) mai aur Daya inhe wahan dekhkar ghabra gaye the ki pata nahi
kya baat hai...humlog inse dur khare the isliye humne jab inhe pukara to sayad inhone humara awaj nahi suna ...aur jab tak humlog pahunchte ye wahan se chale gaye the "
Daya added " Jab humne Dr deskmukh se poocha tab unhone hume bataya ki aap chaar din se bed pe pare hai typhoid ke karan...( he shook his head in disappointed and angry smile ) aap dono ko nahi pata par aap dono humare liye bahut important ho ...aapki chhoti si chhoti baat bhi humpe bahut asar dalti hai..chahe wo aapki narajgi ho ya aapka pyar...(In dreamy tone ) hume to laga tha jaise hum aapko apna mante hai waise hum bhi ahem honge aap dono ke liye...(in hurt smile ) par sayad hum galat the...
Acp sir said in helpless tone " Daya beta aisi baat nahi hai "
Daya cut him in extreme hurt tone " please sir aap mujhe beta mat boliye ..agar mai aur Abhi aapke bete hote na to humse apni takleef chhupane ki kosis nahi karte "
salunkhe in hoarse tone " isme pradyuman ki..koi galti nahi hai...maine hi use mana kiya tha... tumlog khud itni bari museebat se bahar aye the...( his eyes were dropping ) mai nahi chahta tha..meri wajah se tumlogo ko aur pareshani mile ..."
Daya asked in disappointed anger " sir aap kaisi baate kar rahe hai...maa baap bhi bacche pe pareshani hote hai kya kabhi...( he bent down and kept his hand on head ) Infact hum bahut hi jada khuskismat hai ki humari jindgi me aap aur Acp sir hai...( in emotional tone ) hum jab bhi dagmagate hai aap donk hume kabhi girne nahi dete aur aaj jab aapko humari jaroorat hai to aap humse aapke liye kuch karne ka mauka kaise chhin sakte hai sir...( In deep intense tone ) humara parivar aap dono ke bina bilkul adhura hai sir "
Salunkhe's eyes became teary ..and Acp sir too..they both glanced at each other with a smile on their face.. conveying to each other how much they are lucky to have sons like them..
Abhijeet wiped his corner and said in firm tone " Daya dono sir ka jaldi se saman bandho...humlog abhi apne ghar ja rahe hai aur mai Doctor desmukh ko bolunga ki wo sir ko ek baar humare ghar ake check up karle "
salunkhe in low tone " Abhijeet please..mai yahan theek hun yaar..mai kahi nahi jana chahta "
Abhijeet in composed tone " I 'm sorry sir par mai aapki ye baat bilkul bhi nahi maan sakta...(In heavy voice ) mere liye na sahi kamse kam Tarika ke liye to chaliye please...usse bahut dukh hoga agar aapne anse se mana kat diya to "
salunkhe murmured in annoyed tone " jo karna hai karo tumlogo ko "
Duo took sighe of relief, they packed both sir's luggage...Acp sir was like " mujhse to kisiko poochne ki jaroorat hi nahi hai ab..mana ab retire ho gaya hun par Acp to tha.. huh "
Daya and Abhijeet both supported salunkhe sir while keeping his arms on their shoulder ...made him sit on passenger seat...and throw the luggage on Dicky..Acp sir sat beside his friend, while Duo took front seat..they give each other thumbs up smile and then started his journey by initating the engine.
They took salunkhe sir to his room, as duo had designed this house thinking everyone's need..there is individual room of both oldie duo..but they always denied living with them as they think they would invade children's privacy...but little did they knew , this time their sons would not let them go so easily.
Abhijeet and Tarika helped him to lie down and covered him with quilt..
Tarika carresed her father's hair and said in loving tone " sir aap thore der aram kar lijiye ab "
salunkhe smiled weakly and patting her cheek he said in fake pretend strong tone " Don't worry..kuch nahi hua mujhe..mai ekdam theek hun...(he said in slurring) perfectly fine.
Tarika in tears " haan wo dikh raha hai...kitne theek hai aap ...( In slight anger ) kyun nahi bataya mujhe ki aap itne beemar hai..."
salunkhe hold his one ear with appoletic face..Tarika lips curved into tiny smile seeing her father's antics..she poited finger toward him and said in cute warning " aage se kuch mat chhipana aap.. warna mai bahut gussa karungi "
salunkhe chuckled " nahi kuch chhupaunga, pakka "
Tarika smiled and kissed on his forehead " ab aram se so jaye aap.."
Abhijeet who was witnessed everything with a faint smile on his lips.. he really adore this father-daughter relation..came close to salunkhe sir and said " sir aapko kidi bhi cheek ki jaroorat to hume bula lijiyega ..hum bahar lawn me hi hai.. aapko bed se uthne ki koi jaroorat nahi hai ..okay (salunkhe nodded slowly on this making Abhijeet's smile brighter )OutsideAditya was teaching Anaya, how to read Hindi's letter...
" chhoti bolo A (अ ) "
" Aa ( आ )"
Adi groaned in frustration " pahle A hota hai Fir Aaaa "
Anu frowned cutely and closed the book and said cutely " ab bach ( bas ) ...( blowing the air from her both hands ) boot mam ( book khatam ) ho gaya "
Adi patted his forehead " itne se padhne se kuch nahi hoga chhoti moti ...(he opened the copy and gave her pencil ) accha hum ab A, B, C, D Likhenge..okay ? "
Anu hold pencil in fist and rubbed it over on the page with glee on her...she was paining all the copy's page in enthusiasm...once he done she looked at Adi for some complement as " very good chhoti " like everytime... everyone do when she recited poem and made them listen while blabbering all over the day until no one get time to hear it.
Adi in anger " buddhu hai tu ek number ki... maine tujhe A,B,C,D bola tha likhne..ghasne ko Nahi "
Anu's lip swelled in pout and her tiny eyes get filled with warm drops of tear...and her crying voice gathered everyone there.
Adi's eyes became wide in fear and stress ..he tried to calm down his Baby sister but all go in vain..Anu's cry has become more loud .
Tarika rushed toward Anu in panic and took her in lap " Adi , kya hua beta...( cooing baby in her arm while rubbing her back ) Anu itna ro kyun rahi hai ? "
Adi gulped " Mumma Anu Nahi padh rahi thi to maine bas use Thora sa danta..aur ye rone lagi "
Anu instantly protest with sobbing " thola sa nahi...bahut sala danta...icchneAnu ko "
" Awww meri baby ko bahut sara daant diya uske bhaiya ne ( Anu nodded and hide herself in Tarika's chest with sobbing )..."
She fakely glared at Adi and said while winking ( usually mom and grand mom does in front of smaller one , hehe, i really love this one when they used to make quiet my cute cousins like this ) ..." Adi bahut galat baat ye ...aisa nahi karte na beta...agli baar se aap meri Anu ko bilkul nahi dantoge.. warna mumma se bahut peeti paregi "
Adi in fake frightened tone " okay Mumma "
Tarika in again feigning anger " good now jayo ab jake apni padhai karo aap "
Adi Rushed out from there and when Anaya saw this stopped her sobbing..Tarika said in brightened smily tone " dekho dekho mumma ki daant sunkr bhaiya kaise bhaag gaye...( she sat up on couch with Anu in her arms ) meri Anu ko jo bhi rulaega choco usko ...(punching on her belly softly two times with ) dishoom dishoom kar degi "
Anaya clapped her hands showing her rabit like teeth..Tarika chuckled cutely and wiping tears from her angel's face, she gave a soft kiss on her forehead .
" Mumma "
Tarika's heart beat raise hearing this word from Anu's mouth..she looked at Anaya with so much hope but it flattened when she noticed her gaze was on shreya who was coming downstairs...( ye mai kya soch rahi thi, Anu tujhe kyun mumma bulaegi Tarika...wo teri nahi shreya ki beti hai..usne usko janm diya hai tune nahi...)
Her series of thoughts came in halt when Anu descent down from her lap and Rushed toward shreya who took her daughter in arm and pepperd so many soft kisses on her face " My baby "
Anaya giggled " Mum..maa "
Shreya pretend to eat her chubby cheeks said in cute eadable tone" mumma apni baby ka gaal kha legi aaj "
Anu covered her face and shook her head ...shreya burst out in laugh " meri cutie pie...(she cuddled her in chest ) Mumma loves you so much "
Tarika was showing them from far with forlorn look...she was staring at their smiling and laughing faces but she was lost in other world...she came in her senses feeling the wetness on her cheek ...she looked around in alert and wiped her tears hurriedly before anyone could notice.
But someone has already saw her act..his eyes were filled with raw pain which can shook everyone's heart there.
At night
Abhijeet was passing by salunkhe sir's room toward his room but his feet hurriedly get stopped Infront of his room..and he noticed his shivering body even under the quilt.. Abhijeet rushed toward him and touched his forehead " oh god, fir se bukhar badh gaya "
He went inside kitchen and came back hurriedly with cold water in bowl and cloth strip . He sat beside him and kept washcloth on his forehead,
Salunkhe's eyes were not open but he recognised Abhijeet's touch..he was feeling tightness in his chest ..he was feeling himself in pool of deep regret and guilt...the person , whom he hurt so many time without his any fault by his venom poisoning words is tending his fever...caring him like a son...even his own son would leave him after his behaviour which he did to Abhijeet..
He felt his hand on his forehead and neck, perhaps for checking his body temperature..he felt him shaking his shoulder ... salunkhe wanted to open his eyes but the weakness of his bidy was not given him permission..
" sir... please uthiye..kuch khake saam ki dawai le lijiye "
Abhijeet dipped clothe in water and wiped his both eyelids to reduce the drawsiness..and it worked..his eyes fluttered and open..
Abhijeet hold him from shoulder and made him sit with the support of pillow under his back " sir , aap baithiye ...mai kuch khane lata hun aapke liye "
Salunkhe hold his hand said in weak tone " rahne do...mai aise hi le lunga "
Abhijeet in caring tone " sir dawai bahut high power ki hai...kuch to khana hi parega aapko...waise bhi kitne weak ho gaye hai aap...( in light smile ) ab aap fir se mat so jana..mai abhi aya "
with this he left the room... salunkhe's tear rolled down from his eyes..he was feeling so low Infront of his own eyes...he has treated this pure hearted soul like a shit everytime and yet he had not any bitterness in his heart for him ..even for a bit... he is feeling sick ...sick of himself...he was cursing himself for hurting the person who has done always good and want everyone's good ..he was feeling himself " spineless "...why couldn't i see his goodness...why have I tried to believe myself that he was not a good choice of his daughter..eben though his heart knows everytime that no one can take care of Tarika, no one can love her limitless, like he does ...he gave so much to him and Tarika and in exchange he has only given him " pain" in reward of being a caring son, a doting husband, lovable brother and ideal father.
Abhijeet came back with tray in his hand containing hot soup in bowl and spoon...he kept it on table and filling a spoonful soup, he blew air for making it cool and then looked at him for signalling open his mouth but his hand get stopped and facial expressions change in panic seeing Salunkhe's tear striken face " sir aap ro rahe hai...kisine kuch kaha kya aapse...( in guilty tone) aapko meri koi baat buri lag gayi kya ...mujhe maaf
Abhijeet's words clogged in his throat when salunkhe sir took him in hug ..his body shivered a bit with unexpected event but he composed himself and kept his hand on salunkhe's sir back .. hugging him too in reply ..he called out his name in hesitated tone ", sir ? "
Salunkhe aparted him from hug ...his eyes were filled with tears and throat has been burning in burden of guilt.." Abhijeet mujhe maaf kardo ...janta hun maafi ke layak nahi hun mai..bahht dil dukhaya hai tumhara...sabke samne apman kiya hai wo bhi bina tumhare kisi galti ke ..!!!!!!
Abhijeet pronounced his name in shocked-teary tone " sir aap ye... please aap mujhse aise baat mat kariye..aap bare hai mujhse , aapka hak hai
Salunkhe cut him in hurt smile ", hak..mai uss layak nahi hun Abhijeet jispe tumhare jaise honhar bete par Mera hak ho..aisa kuch bhi nahi hai maine..siway tumhara dil dukhaya hai , tumhe uss baat ke liye jimmedar bataya hai jisse tumhara koi wasta nahi...( he hold Abhijeet's cold hand in his ) ek wada karoge mujhse Abhijeet...tum humesa aise hi rehna kabhi kisike liye bhi khudko change mat Karna ( Abhijeet looked at him in tears )...
Abhijeet turned his face and wiped his tears , he cleared his throat and forwarded spoon to him, he ate silently this time ...after feeding Abhijeet wiped his mouth and made him gulp all medicines.
salunkhe called him " Abhijeet "
" jee sir "
" kuch nahi "
" Bataye na sir, kya baat hai ? "
" tumhe kabhi gussa nahi ata mujhpe, badla lene ka dil Nahi karta ?
Abhijeet chukled mirthlessly " lagta hai fever ka asar kuch jada hi ho gaya hai aap pe...isliye aisi behki behki baate kar rahe hai aap ...apno se narajgi ho sakti hai par badle ki bhawna kabhi Nahi aa sakti sir, aur khaskar unse jinse aapke taar dil se jure hue ho ( salunkhe smiled softly , resulting in faint smile of Abhijeet to ) ..ab bekar ki baate mat sochiye aur rest kariye...( he pressed him from shoulder and lie him down ) very good boy ...( salunkhe was looking at him lovingly.. Abhijeet closed his eyes from palm ) ankhe band...( he soft the frown on his head and waited until medicine works and took him in deep slumber )
Abhijeet move outside from room dimming the table lamp...he moved inside the room and saw Tarika sleeping , a soft smile came on his lip and bending down he carresed his hair and in this his eyes fall on a black shiny thing under her pillow..he picked it up and found that it was a diary...
" ye kaunsi diary hai...jahan tak mujhe Yaad hai Tarika hates to write diary..fir ye " surprising element was clearly showing on her face.
End of this chapter :)
