A/n : Hello Everyone ...how are you all.. sorry for being so much late..I had tried to end this chapter in this one but couldn't...i hope it will not bore you guysHave A Happy Reading


A figure was tensly standing on the entrance door of DUO's home. He raised his hand to press the door bell but his hand became standstill in air and a pain flashed accross his face thinking " kya kahunga mai sabse...wo log to Abhijeet sir ki raah dekh rahe honge unka birthday celebrate karne ke liye..aise me mai kaise "

He felt a lump stuck in his throat " ye mujhse nahi hoga "...

He turned instantly to go back from there when

" Sirf tum ye kaam kar sakte ho... ghar me koi bhi aisa nahi hai jo unhe sambhal sake isliye mai unhe phone par nahi batana chahta...tum please unhe Drive karke yahan le ana...aur kosis karna baccho tak ye khabar na pahunche "

He console himself and gained his courage " Daya sir ne jo jimmedari mujhe di hai usse me bhaag nahi sakta..chahe wo fir kitna muskil kyun na ho "

He inhaled a deep moist breath and mustering up all his strength he pressed the door bell..


" wo log aa gayeeeeeeee " salunkhe exclaimed

Acp sir heart's burst in happiness , he controlled his exciting bubbles " are to yahan bolta hi rahega ya gate kholega bhi !

Tarika hurriedly went into kitchen for bringing cake,

Salunkhe opened the door with a big smile on his face , " are Rajat tum...ye dono mahasay kahan hai... peeche se aa rahe hai kya ? "

" sir wo "

" salunkhe use andar to ane do... traffic police ki tarah kya khara ho gaya hai gate par no entry ka board lagake " Acp sir said in annoyed tone

salunkhe shook his head and move aside " andar aa jayo bhai...warna tumhara ye retired Acp unke pyare officer ko bahar rakhne ke jurm me mujhe jail me daal denge "

Rajat nod in force smile and move inside..he felt an intense pain in his heart seeing the whole hall decorated beautifully... the house's environment was lively and cheerful..kids' magical laughing voices were making the atmosphere more lively..

Adi came to him and asked in excited voice " Mamu meri favourite choclates laye ho na aap ? "

" so... sorry beta aapki choclate nahi le paya mai "

since when Rajat has entered inside Acp sir has felt fishy in his behaviour..he was not looking usual of himself, his eyes were saying something but what ... that's the Question...and suddenly his heart stopped seeing the redness on his palm ...and unknown fear engulfed in his heart.

" Rajat ...baat kya hai ? "

Acp sir's straight forward Question thrown him in off gaurd..he couldn't speak more but lower his head confirming Acp sir's doubt that something very bad is on their way..

Now everyone focus has turned to them..they were confuse at the sudden heaviness in atmosphere..but kept mum..

" Daya aur Abhijeet kahan hai Rajat ? "

" sir wo ...(he was feeling helpless ) wo dono hos " his words fell off from his tongue seeing Tarika coming from kitchen ,

" Rajat you...what a pleasant surprise !!!!!! " she said while giving a sisterly hug to him

" kitne din ke baad aye ho tum yahan ...bas kahne ke liye behan hun na mai tumhari...ek baar bhi meri yaad nahi ati " Tarika said with a pout

Rajat's eyes became teary , he felt overwhelmed..he just couldn't take more burden in his heart " mujhe aaplogo se kuch jaroori baat karni hai "

Tarika's smile fainted, she ran her eyes accross the hall and Doorstep but she didn't find a glance of him from whom she was waiting like eternity from the morning " kya hua Rajat.. sab theek hai...hai na...Abhi aur Daya kisi case me fas gaye...isliye bas unhe deri ho jaegi ane me... yahi kahna hai na tumhe "

Acp sir looked at Dev and said in soft tone " Dev aap Adi aur Anu ko kamre me le jayo "

" Jee dadu "

Adi didn't want to go but his brother's pleading eyes changed his decision..Dev hold both hands and took them Inside room

Shreya in heavy tone " sir baat kya hai... please bataye na..aap itne pareshan kyun lag rahe hai..."

Acp in anger-filled-teary tone " Rajat chup kyun ho tum ...kya hua hai ? "

Rajat looked at Tarika's hope filled but scared eyes , he uttered while avoiding his gaze from her..even he didn't know when words came out from his mouth " Abhijeet sir ko do goli lagi hai...wo iss wakt hospital me admit hai ...aur Daya sir unhi ke paas hai "

They felt lightening fall on their head hearing this news...here they were preparing to celebrate their beloved Abhi's special day and then they got this worst news of their life...

Tarika felt numb..her head spinned and she fall down on floor getting unconscious

" Tarikaaaaa "

" Di please aankhe kholiye " shreya said while patting her cheeks

Rajat picked her in arms and lead toward bedroom , he maid her lay on bed...and move aside to let salunkhe sir check ..

Acp sir left the room with heavy heart..he was cursing on his fate.." kyun baar baar mere baccho ko itni takleef sehni parti hai bhagwan...kya bigara hai unhone kisika..har baar wohi kyun ? "

He sat on sofa with defeated expression on his face..his eyes were filled with tears..his heart was aching badly for his kid who might be fighting for his life..

" sir "

He looked upward and saw shreya who was looking at him with concerned face and holding a glass of water " paani lijiye "

" Nahi beta..man nahi hai "

Shreya sat down on floor and kept a hand on his knee " sir aap bilkul bhi chinta mat kijiye... Bhaiya ko kuch nahi hoga... aap dekhna wo bilkul theek ho jaenge...unhone kai baar maut ko haraya hai...iss baar bhi wo larenge aur humare paas lautke wapas ayenge...(a tear slipped from her eyes ) pakka "

Acp sir looked at his daughter with love filled glance ...he had thought only Abhijeet and Daya could be his strength but he was wrong..his three of daughters very well know how to lighten the hope in tunel of darkness .

" Ab to lenge na aap paani "

Acp sir nod tearly and sip few drinks giving lot of sooth to Shreya's heart..they both got up seeing Salunkhe and Rajat..

Acp sir asked instantly in tension " salunkhe Tarika kaisi hai...koi ghabrane wali baat to nahi hai ? "

Salunkhe sighed " use bahut bara sadma laga hai boss ...tum jante ho waise hi Abhijeet uske jindgi me kya mayne rakhta hai...(his voice clogged in throat ) aur jabse usne apni bacchi ko khoya hai wo kafi sensitive ho gyi hai..chhoti si chhoti news bhi kafi asar dalti hai uspe...aur ye khabar to uske Abhi se juri jai jisse wo apne jaan se jada pyar karti hai "

Acp sir in tears " samajh sakta hun sakunkhe...mai acche se samajh sakta hun ki meri bacchi pe iss wakt kya beet rahi hogi "

Rajat in pain " sir aaplog iss wakt himmat nahi haar sakte...aapke baccho ko iss wakt aapki bahut jada jaroorat hai sir "

Acp sir composed himself " salunkhe tu aur shreya yahan ruk ja Tarika aur baccho ke paas..mai foren hospital ja raha hun "

salunkhe nod and glanced at shreya who was looking helpless " boss mai yahan sambhal lunga ...tum shreya ko bhi le jayo apne saath ...Daya ko iss wakt bas yahi sambhal sakti hai "

" Theek hai fir...shreya chalo beta...Rajat jaldi se le chalo hume "


Daya was strolling in corridor to and fro while waiting for Doctors. It's been more than an hour when they took his brother in OT but it still there was not any news of him...his heart was pounding in his his ribcage with fear..so many why's and what if's were running in his mind and making him restless and sucking his all blood from his veins...his face was looking pale and lifeless..

Finally seems after an eternity Doctor came from OT, Daya hurried toward him " Doctor...Abhijeet kaisa hai ? "

" Dekhiye humne dono bullets to nikal liye hai unke body se par khatra abhi tala nahi hai ( Daya got goosebumps all over his body )..unhe jo do goliya lagi thi unme se ek to unke stomach me lagi jisse unka utna khatra nahi hai hai...( with a heavy sigh ) par jo goli unke dil ke paas lagi hai usne unke artery ko buri tarah se damage kar diya hai ...(in grave tone ) agle 24 ghante unke liye bahut critical hai...humne apni taraf se puri kosis ki hai..ab jo bhi hai bhagwan ke haath me hai "

Daya felt numb..he got standstill on his place...his eyes has forgotten to blink but the way he was looking on floor seems lifeless.

Doctor pressed his shoulder and left the premises with excuse.

Freddy in tears " sir ye Doctor to kuch bhi bole ja rahe hai...aap bharosa rakhiye.. humare Abhijeet sir ko kuch nahi hoga "

Purvi hold his shoulder " sir aap please yahan baithiye "

Daya sat on bench with vacant expression on his face..Freddy and purvi was trying to console him but they got nothing except silence.

Acp sir, shreya and Rajat reached there...they saw Daya's condition and felt a pang in his heart.

Shreya felt shattered seeing her husband, her soul in this condition.. Freddy and purvi gave her space ..she sat beside him and took his name with so much love " Daya "

she saw his eyes getting moist ...she turned his face toward herself while placing her hand on his cheek " idhar dekhiye...kya hua aapko...hmm ? "

" Abhi " Daya's voice break

Shreya hold his hand in her strong grip while rubbing it " aapko bharosa hai na Bhaiya pe...unhe kuch nahi hoga..."

Daya hide his face in her palm and cried harshly...which broke everyone's heart who was present there...

Shreya in pain-filled-tears " Daya please chup ho jaye ...mai bol rahi hun na...kuch nahi hoga bhaiya ko ...(it was being difficult for her to see his tears )..Daya please "

Daya between his sobs " mai uske bina nahi reh paunga shreya...he is my life...uske bina ek pal bhi gujarna muskil hai mere liye..."

Shreya rubbed his hand " Mai janti hun Daya...janti hun mai ki Abhijeet bhaiya kya mayne rakhte hai aapki life me...par ek baar Acp sir ke bare me to sochye...aap aisa karenge to unhe kaun sambhalega...hmmm ..."

Daya looked at her with red teary eyes which cut Shreya's heart into so many slices...she wiped his tears and skept her forehead on his " aapko himmat rakhni hogi Daya...you have to be strong for your bhai... please ...aap iss wakt nahi toot sakte bilkul bhi ( Daya nod his head but still his tears has not stopped )

Acp sir looked at his kid from glass ...he felt suffocated to see his dear son lying on cold steel bed surrounding with so many monitoring machine and wire attaching on his body...he was taking deep breath with the help of oxygen mask on his face..who had thought this precious day of his kid would turn into like this, he remembered his priceless smile when he had wished him in previous night and felt a crack in his heart ...

Everyone came in Abhijeet's room with tip-toed...it was showing 11:59 on wall clock..it means only 5 minutes left for Abhijeet's birthday.

Acp sir looked at his son with all love in his eyes who was sleeping like a baby ...well for every parents...their baby look adorable while sleeping and like everyone, Acp sir felt overflowing love for his kid..he flared his hand on his face and then planted a soft kiss on his forehead " Happy Birthday beta..."

Abhijeet felt feathery touch on his head and soft soothing hand on his face..he was feeling warmth inside himself..and then his eyes fluttered hearing soft filled loving voice carresed his ear..

" sir...aap yahan " he sprang up in bed with a jerk

" Happy Birthday Abhiiiiiiiiiiii / Abhijeeet / Bhaiya "

Abhijeet was stunned at first then a soothing teary smile crept on his face seeing all his precious relation arounding him adorning a sweet and loving smile on their faces...he felt overwhelmed to uttered anything..

Daya saw his brother and got very well what he might be feeling..he took his brother in hug with " Happy Birthday bhai "

Abhijeet smiled in tears, his voice clogged in throat " Th...Thank you "

Daya aparted from hug and gave him a box wrapping in blue gift paper with a smile " a very precious gift for my most precious bhai "

" Are yaar in sabki kya jaroorat thi "

" pahle ise kholo to sahi "

Abhijeet took a sigh and then unwrapped the gift , a big smile appeared on his face seeing a blue dial smart watch " Thank you so much bhai...ye bahut accha hai "

Daya in delighted smile " you're most welcome...( he took watch from his hand and tied it around his wrist ) haan..ab gayi na ye ghari apni jagah pe... dekho boss kitni jach rahi hai tumhare haath pe "

Abhijeet chuckled " haan tu jo laya hai "

He got up and touched Acp sir's feet who in return gave him a loving hug with " janam din ki bahut shubhkamnaye beta...tumhe bhagwan lambi umar de aur humesa khus rakhe "

Abhijeet felt so much overwhelmed and top of the moon getting a wish from his father..it might be simple but words were dipped in love and blessing which gave a sensation to Abhijeet's heart " Thank you sir "

Salunke sir " Happy Birthday Abhijeeet...(in tease ) bhagwan se bas yahi prathna hai ki tumhe sadbuddhi de ki tum apne iss buddhe sasur ko tang karna band kardo "

Everyone laughed hearing this while Abhijeet said in naughty smile with flow" Maaf kijiyega sir par aapki ye khwaish to mere marne ke baad hi puri karogi "

Shreya snubbed him " Bhaiya birthday ki din aisi baate nahi karte "

Abhijeet folded his hand " sorry meri dadi amma glti hi gyi "

Shreya punched on his arm , Abhijeet rubbed his arm with " ouch..duniya ki ek lauti behan hogi jo bhai ko birthday pe punch gift karti hogi "

Acp sir twisted his ear " bahut accha kiya usne ...kitni baar mana kiya hai apne mooh se aisi baate nikalne se "

Abhijeet looked at his brother who was laughing on his condition " gaddar kahi ka "

" sir chhodiye na please...aage se nahi hoga...aaj mera birthday hai na please "

Acp sir left him with " aaj birthday hai lsliye chhod raha hun ...warna ek lagata abhi tumko "

Abhijeet in smile " aapke hote hue mujhe kuch ho sakta hai kya sir..."

Acp sir's heart stirred hearing his strong confidential voice , he composed himself with " haan bas dialogue bulawa lo saheb se aur kuch ata hai kya "

Abhijeet lower down his head trying to hide his embarassed smile..he patted his cheek lovingly " chalo so jayo kaafi raat ho gyi hai "

Abhijeet hugged him unexpectedly " Thank you sir "

Acp sir cuddled him in chest feeling sooth in his heart ...

Acp sir's tears were running down from his cheek remembering the last night..he tried to touch his kid's face but the glass was becoming a wall between them..he closed his eyes in pain and a sob escaped from his throat... he vent up all his emotions there he controlled his crying when he felt a soft hand on his shoulder...he hurriedly cleared his eyes ..

" theek ho jaega ye...abhi bas dar raha hai sabko ...iski to adat hai hum sabko Pareshan karne ki...dekhna ek do din baad discharge ke liye kaise baccho ki tarah jid karega mujhse " Acp sir said with pain-filled-smile

Daya in complaining tone " aur aap to use de bhi denge discharge...sirf mujhe hi milti ( Acp sir smiled a little )...agar iss baar aapne usse discharge karwaya na sir to maine andonal kar dena hai bas "

Acp sir laughed on his younger son's complain which made Daya smiled too...they both became silent for Sometimes and then Daya asked in broken tone while straing at his brother " aisa hoga na sir...mera bhai theek ho jaega na "

Acp sir hugged his younger son in pain.." use theek hona hi hoga Daya ...warna accha nahi hoga tumhare bhai ke liye "

Daya expelled all his pain and fear in his father's shoulder..he was storing it from the time from when he saw his brother bathing in own pool of his blood ...from the time when he had almost lost his brother...from the time he heard the danger is still lurking on his brother's head.


Five Days Later

Abhijeet has declared out of danger , but he was dangling between conscious and unconscious in all these hours . whenever he opened his eyes got open he never found himself alone... sometimes he found his brother taking care of him... sometimes his father.. sometimes his sister... sometimes his teammates but he had never seen her...he was feeling desperate to see her face. He just wanted to console his heart that his Tarika is doing fine...her health has not affected in all chaos..

" Abhi...tum uth gaye " Daya's cheerful voice interupted his thought

" Ruko mai Doctor ko bulake ata hun... wo ekbaar ake tunhara check up kar lenge "

Abhijeet hold his hand " tu...theek hai ? "

Daya became silent..he turned his face other side..

" Daya "

" kya janna chahte ho boss...mai theek hun bilkul " Daya said in tired voice

" fir se dara diya na maine apne bhai ko ? "

" isme naya kya hai...tumhe to heart attack dene ki adat ho gyi hai mujhe..."

" par iss baar meri kya galti thi...mujhe thori na pata tha ki achanak se aise ake koi attack kar dega "

Daya 's eyes became teary he kept his head on his brother's shoulder and said innocently " mujhe kuch ngi pata Abhi...par ab mai tumhe kabhi akela nahi jane dunga... bas "

Abhijeet felt pain in his heart " Daya...rona band kar..tujhe pata hai na mujhe tere ansoon bilkul pasand nahi hai...( he felt restless hearing his soul's sobbing voice ) Daya ...idhar dekh...hey...aise koi rota hai kya..tu to brave bhai hai na mera "

He ruffled his hair and dropped a kiss on his head " Daya...yaaar...tu kya chahta hai mai bhi rone lag jayu ...hmmm ? "

Daya shook his head hurriedly and then wiped his tears , sitting on his previous position..

" befakoof kahi ka dekh to kaisa mooh bigar rakha hai tune...itna koi rota hai kya...rondu baccha mera "

" Mai koi rondu nahi hun " Daya said in anger though his voice was still hoarse

" Haan tu to mera cute sa golu molu sa panda hai "

Daya's cheek turned red and a shy smile came on his face " kya boss tum bhi na had ho "

Abhijeet laughed on his brother's cuteness and felt sooth in his heart seeing his smile " chal ja ab Doctor ko bula le aur pahle apne mooh ka naksa theek kar lena "

Daya smiled in embarrassment and left the room , leaving Abhijeet with disappointed smile " agar mujhe hos nahi ata to janab India me baadh le ate "

Sometimes later Doctor came inside with Acp sir, Daya and Tarika.Abhijeet's eyes got fixed on her...he had been seeing her after long hours..and he didn't feel good but pure pain seeing her pale face , swelled red eyes and weaknesses in her body.

" Doctor mera beta kaisa hai ab ? "

" ab ghabrane wali koi baat nahi hai..he is out of danger...par inhe ek mahina yahi rahna hoga jab tak inka ghaw puri tarah bhar nahi jata "

Acp sir was waiting for his son's tantrums on discharge but got only silence..he followed his gaze and got what is happening..

" Tarika "

" jee sir "

" Abhijeet ka dhyan rakhna...mai aur Daya thore der ke liye ghar ja rahe hai "

Tarika nodded, Daya and Acp sir left the room...

Tarika looked at her hubby and his intense gaze..she lowered down his head and move toward him with steadily...

" ye kya kar liya hai tumne apne saath ? " Abhijeet asked in pain

" mu..mujhe kya hua...mai theek hun ? "

Abhijeet tried to sit but his wound's stich get pull and a loud yelp came out from which mouth making Tarika jumped on her feet in panic... she hold his shoulder and made him sit properly " kya kar rahe ho tum...pagal ho gaye ho ? "

" sorry "

Tarika's hail broke with this " what sorry haan...pahle jaan nikal do meri fir sorry...acche se pata hai tumko tumhare bina nahi reh sakti mai... isliye aisa karte ho na tum mere saath...(in angry tears ) maja ata hai na tumko..mujhe tang karne me..."

" Tarika "

Tarika put her finger on his mouth " shhh...kuch mat bolo tum...(her anger changed into pain ) kyun har baar mujhe tumhe khone ka dar bhar dete ho mere andar...Abhiiiiii tumhe kyun nahi samajh ata ki tum jindgi ho meri...agar tumhe kuch hota hai to saanse atak jati hai meri..."

Abhijeet's eyes become wet " I m sorry jaan "

Tarika stood up and sitting near him kissed on his lip fiercely..she was kissing him hungrily venting all her pain , hurt and fear which she felt without him..her both hands went behind his neck..Abhijeet was tol shocked on her behaviour to do something..Tarika bite his lowe lips from her teeth and a gasp came out from his mouth which gave Tarika chance to entred deeply inside his mouth . she was exploring him with all the passion the hunger..her one hand was busy in carresing his hair...she pulled herself back when she felt need of oxygen in her lungs..she looked at his pleasant surprise face and her Heart burst in joy...she looked at his eyes which was showing pure love for her..she pecked on his lips sofly once again and then she kissed on all over his face, his both eye lids, his nose..his cheeks..

Abhijeet's eyes were close he was just enjoying the love of his wife..his heart beat was racing like a horse..he opened his eyes when he felt a soft lingering touch on his forehead

Tarika placed hand on his cheek and whispered in his ear , giving goosebumps to him " I love you Abhi "

Abhijeet smiled and said naughtily " agar mujhe pata hota ki bullet lagne par itna accha inaam milega mujhe to kabka kha chuka hota "

Tarika turning serious " it's not funny ...uss din bhi sir ne mana kiya tha na tumhe "

" Accha baba ...sorry "

" hmmm "

" Tarika pata hai mujhe milne kaun aya tha ? "

" kaun ? "

" Aanya...mai apni beti se mila Tarika...usko pyar kiya maine...use godi pe bithaya tha maine aur pata hai usne mujhe dadda bhi kaha ( Tarika's eyes turned teary )...sach Tarika mujhe itni khusi hui na tab mai bata nahi sakta...wo sapna tha ya hakeekat mujhe nahi pata par wo kuch pal jab meri bacchi mere paas thi wo pal meri jindgi ka sabse khubsurat palo me se ek tha...(his voice became heavy ) tumhe pata aaj mai tumlogo ke paas hun to sirf uski wajah se...mai selfish hoke uske paas rehna chahta tha par usne kaha ki mumma , chachu , Dadu sabko jaroorat hai aapki ...(in teary tone ) aap jayo unke paas...wo pal jab usne kaha ki mai duniya ka best dadda hun wo meri jindgi ka sabse yadgar lamha hai jo mere akhri saans tak rahega "

Tarika kept her head on his chest, her eyes were shedding so many tears " kaas meri gudiya mujhse milne bhi ati...wo mujhse gussa hai kya Abhi "

Abhijeet kissed on his forehead " nahi jaan...wo to tumhe bahut miss karti hai wahan...aur usne to ye bhi kaha ki dadda aap mumma ko bata dena ki mai unse bahut pyar karti hun "

Tarika in excited teary tone " sacchi...aisa kaha usne ? "

Abhijeet nodded in smile...Tarika smiled back and hugged him once again with sooth and happiness in his heart.


one week Later

Daya was so tense...he had not got any clue who had tried to kill Abhijeet..he has also fear that what if the culprit tried to finish what he would have not.. He felt restless thinking this.. although he had kept his two -three people in hospital in disguise form of patients as he couldn't take risk to endanger his bhai's life..

He had just come from bureau while thinking all these when he heard a soft timid knock on his door...he turned his face and saw his nephew on door step..

" Adi ..kya hua gudda..kuch chahiye aapko ..hmm ? "

" chachu mai jo manguga aap wo doge na "

Daya bent down on his knee " aaj tak aisi koi cheej hai jo mere Bete ne mujhse mangi aur maine na di ho "

" chachu mujhe papa se milna hai "

" Beta wo kaam se "

" jhoot...jhoot...jhoot " Adi screamed im tears

" Adi betu mai jhoot nhi bol rahi "

" maine kl mumma ko dekha tha wo papa ke liye lunch bana ke le ja rahi thi " Adi said with tears

" beta wo lunch kisi aur ka "

" unhone sara lunch papa ki pasand ka banaya tha chachu...aapko mat batana hai mat batao...mai khud apne papa ko dhund lunga " he said in hurt and left the room

" Adi " he sighed heavily

Shreya came and asked " kya hua Daya...kya bol raha tha Adi "

" Abhi se milne ki jid kar raha tha "

" Dev aur Anu bhi kl se jid kar rahe hai bhaiya se baat karne ke liye "

" tumhe kya lagta hai humara bachho ko hospital le jana sahi hoga ? "

" Adi aur Dev ko insab ki adat dal leni chahiye Daya "

" ye tum kya bol rahi ho shree...kya adat dal leni chahiye unko.."

" aap dono ko hospital me dekhne ki...(her voice turned in hurt) cid officers ke bacche hai wo unka bachpan baki baccho ki tarah normal to nahi ho sakta na ..unke liye accha hoga agar wo dono jaan le ki unke papa aur chachu ko kabhi bhi kuch bhi ho sakta hai "

she looked at Daya not getting any reply " Daya kya hua ? "

Daya in low tone " mai apne teeno baccho ko insabse bahut dur rakhna chahta tha shree..mai unhe har dukh, har takleef se bachana chahta tha..par sayad humare cid me hone ki keemat humare baccho ko bhi chukani hogi "

shreya hugged him from behind " I know ye sab asan nahi hai..wo dono bhaiya ko uss halat me dekhkar kafi Pareshan honge par hum hai na unge sambhalne ke liye...aur fir jab wo bare honge to unhe iss baat pe fakr hoga ki aap dono ne apne des ke liye kitna kuch sacrifice kiya hai.."

Daya smiled and kissed on her hand " sahi kaha tumne...aur agar humlog bhi apne des se pahle parivar ka sochne lage tab to hume cid me rahne ka koi hak nahi hai "

" ryt mere samajhdar patidev "

" pahle mai itna samajhdar nahi tha wo to tumhari kripa se hua hai "

shreya laughed on this... deepening Daya's smile.


Daya and shreya get out from car and opened the back seat , Daya took Anaya in his lap..while shreya helped Adi and Dev to get down from car.

Junior duo looked at the hospital building standing large infront of them..shreya asked them " chale andar ? "

They both nodded ,

Inside Abhijeet's room

Abhijeet was having soup from Acp sir's hand like accha baccha while Tarika and Salunkhe sir was enjoying their moment ..

" sir ab ho gya "

" tum gilhari the kya pichle janm me..itna kam koi khata hai kya "

Tarika supressed her smile, Abhijeet pouted " sir ab man nahi kar raha sacchi "

" Abhijeet jante ho na dawai kitni strong hai tumhari...agar sahi se nahi khaoge to kamjori nahi jaegi...(forwarding spoon ) chalo mooh kholo...sabas "

salunkhe laughed out loudly seeing Abhijeet's expression..

" Ab isme itne jor se hasne wali kya baat hai "

" tum isko Anu ki tarah daant ke khila rahe ho aur ye tunhare sahebjade mooh bhi aisa hi bana rahe hai "

Acp sir hide his smile seeing his son's cute angry face " sir dekhiye na inhe ye mera majak ura rahe hai "

" salunkhe kyun tang kar raha hai ise...ek to pahle hi ye nahi khata hai upar se tu ...jo bhi kha raha hai wo bhi chhor dega teri wajah se "

Abhijeet smiled interally seeing Acp sir snubbing salunkhe sir while Tarkika shook her head on her hubby's childishness... infront of Acp sir he totally became a jiddi baccha sometimes and specially whe he fall sick or became injured. And she just love to see her immature and naughty Abhi who is cute and shararati...

Their eyes travelled to doorstep hearing footsteps... Abhijeet looked at Daya in anger who avoided his gaze..he hated to see his kids in hospital.

While Dev and Adi's eyes were stuck on big bandage wrapping around Abhijeet's chest and stomach. Their eyes automatically turned teary , Dev just Rushed toward Abhijeet while Adi's feet denied to move toward his father..

" Bare papa..aap theek ho...kitna chot laga hai aapko "

" bale papa ... chot " Anaya said in teary tone touching his bandage softly

His kid's teary voice tore his heart into so many pieces..he took his both kids in hug without giving pressure to his wounds " Bare papa bilkul theek hai bacche "

Dev hold his ears " I am sorry bare papa ( Abhijeet confused )...aapko chot lagi thi aur hum aapse gussa ho rahe the ki aap hume bina bataye kahin chle gaye...aap pe gussa karne ke liye 100 times sorry "

Abhijeet smiled on his son and remove hand from his ear " aapko sorry kahne ki koi jaroorat nahi hai..mai to gussa ho hi nahi sakta apne itne pyare teddy se "

Dev hugged him once again and kissed on his cheek " you are best bare papa "

" you too my darling son " Abhijeet said kissing on his kiddo's cheek

" Noi... kitty becht hai " Anaya said grumpily and by mistake her hand hit with Abhijeet's wound

" ouch "

Everyone became panic together but Abhijeet gave them assuring gaze .. Anaya's eyes again turned teary " bale papa dald ? "

" Bas itnu sa dard ho raha hai ...jada nahi pari " he said in pain wiping his doll's tears

Anaya blew air on his wound " foo fooo...aapta dald theet ho jaeda bale papa..jalli jalli.."

Abhijeet cuddled his baby " ab meri kittu mere paas aa gayi hai to dard to bhaag hi jaega na "

Everyone smiled on them when Abhijeet's eyes fall on his toddler who was standing alone with downward face , he called his son with utmost love " Adi ..come here beta ...papa se nahi milna hai mere prince ko ? "

Daya ruffled Adi's hair " jayo champ... dekho papa bula rahe aapko "

Adi moved slowly toward his father..he looked closely the bandages and saw two red patches on his father's chest and stomach..his classmates talk flashed in his mind..

" Adi tere papa theek hai na ab ? "

" Haan...unhe kya hua ? "

" kl mere uncle mere papa ko bol rahe the ki tere papa ko kisine goli maar di "

" whattttt...tu pagal hai kya ...mere papa bilkul theek hai...bas kaam se bahar gye hai "

" Ansh sahi bol raha hai Aditya maine bhi news me dekha tha "

" hawww sachme Adi ke papa ko bad uncle ne goli maar di..." Riya asked

" Haan "

" par goli lagne ke baad kya hota hai "

" Maine ek film me dekha tha ki goli lagne ke baad wo hero mar gaya "

" To kya Adi ke papa bhi mar jaenge "

" chuppppppp ho jayo tumlog...kuch nahi hoga mere papa ko "

Adi said with angry tears and left the room ..

" Adi ..."

Adi hugged Abhijeet tightly and burst out in crying...he was crying harshly...his heart wrenching crying voice was tearing Everyone's heart there..
