coming outside the room Abhijeet couldn't control his diziness and he was waiting for the pain after falling on floor but that never came. Instead he found himself in securing embarace of his brother. He was hearing Daya's panic voice but he couldn't gather enough energy to respond his baby brother.

Daya made Abhijeet sit on chair keeping his head on his shoulder. He looked at his brother's face which became pale , his exhaustion was clearly visible on face.

" ye kya haal bana liya hai Bhaiya aapne " . Daya said in painful tone

Freddy gulped down his tears seeing his strong Abhijeet sir like this, he composed himself and splash the water on Abhijeet's face two-three times.

Abhijeet opened his eyes slowly and flinch when sudden light flash on his eyes after coming from unconscious.

Daya's eyes twinkled seeing his brother open his eyes. He wiped Abhijeet's face and asked in concern

" Bhaiya kya hua tha aapko..aap aise behos kyun ho gaye "

" wo maine bahut der se kuch khaya nahi isliye sayad ". Abhijeet replied in weak tone

Daya's jaw clenched in anger and he is going to burst out but Freddy stopped him with his pleading eyes. He sighed and walked down from there.

Abhijeet's eyes instant became teary seeing Daya to go from there, why he always made his family upset ? why can't he stop to being burden on themselves ?

His chain of thought became halt when he saw Daya holding plate of pav bhaji Infront of him. Abhijeet became pleasantly surprised after knowing that Daya didn't go from there in anger , he has just gone to take his food.

" Ab ise dekhte rahenge ya khaenge bhi ". Daya said in annoyed tone.

Abhijeet looked at his brother lovingly and then holding the plate he ate few bites .

" Freddy tum inhe ghar chhor do , mujhe abhi bureau jana parega ek naya case aya hai "

" Nahi nahi mai theek hun ab , mai yahan rukta hun dad ke paas tum bureau jayo ". Abhijeet denied

Daya in anger " aap itne jiddi kyun hai , kabhi dusro ki sunne se aapka kuch bigar nahi jaega..dekhiye mai nahi chahta ki aap fir se beemar ho jayo aur mujhpe ek aur jimmedari aa jaye..pahle hi Dad ko leke mai bahut pareshan hun, ab aap meri pareshani aur na badhayaye please "

" Tumhe mere liye pareshan hone ki koi jaroorat Nahi hai Daya aur naahi meri responsibility uthane ki , Mai apna dhyan khud Rakh Sakta hun " Abhijeet said in hurt tone.

" Freddy tumhe mujhe drop Karne ki koi jaroorat Nahi hai Mai khud Chala jaunga "

Abhijeet said and left from there wiping his tears which slip down due to Daya's hurting words.

Daya has seen the tears although Abhijeet tried best to hide it and he felt guilty..in the heat of moment he didn't realise what he said and now he is feeling extremely guilty.

" Damn it ". Daya said in frustration.

...

...

...

...

...

Abhijeet was sitting on beach side , he was remembering all the events of today's which has turned his world up and down. A sweet memory hit on his mind.

Rishav was trying to quite his brother of nine months who was crying non stop.

" mere puchku Ko Kya hua Haan..Tu to Mera pyara Bhai hai na chup ho ja " .

" Bhaiya..mere chhotu ko Kya hua..itna kyun ro Raha hai " . Abhijeet asked worriedly, he has just come from first day of school.

" pata Nahi bullet, subah se aaj cranky ho Raha hai ..Kahi Iska tabeeyat to kharab Nahi hai ". Rishav said in tense tone

" Ab meko do Mera chhotu use Kuch Nahi hua, wo bas Apne abhi Bhaiya ko miss Kar Raha hai ..aaj subah se Nahi Dekha na mele gudde ne mujhe " . Abhijeet said lovingly while forwarding his hand.

Rishav smiled at his cute bunny and gave him Daya in his small hand and to his extreme wonderment Daya stopped crying.

Abhijeet looked at his lovely baby's face which has become red from crying and his heart pinch badly seeing this . He started to cooing his brother lovingly who has hid his face in his brother's neck.

" mele gudde ne bahut miss Kiya mujhe...sorry..Abhi Bhaiya is really sorry Meri Jaan ". Abhijeet said kissing on his tiny hands and hair

" Aaai ...aaai...aai " . Daya said happily in his babyish voice.

Abhieet's eyes twinkled brightly listening his brother's first voice and that too his name .

" Rishav Bhaiya Dekha mere gudde ne mujhe Abhi Bola "

Rishav's eyes were blurred with tears seeing the amazing bond between these two. He kissed Abhijeet's head lovingly and then on his munching chubby cheek .

" Abhi ab to ye chup ho Gaya na..aap ise mujhe dedo Mai sula dunga aur aap Jake dress change Karo "

" No Rishav Bhaiya agar ye fir rone laga to...Mai isko sula dunga..aur fir dress change karunga "

Rishav patted his cheek lovingly and nodded " okay "

Abhijeet flinch in pain and his eyes became wide realising that his chhotu has bitten his cheek .

" hawwwww chhotu baby Aisa Nahi kalte..." . Abhijeet said with pout

" very good Mera baccha...aap bahut Accha Kar rahe ho, awww Mela munching Kitna Accha hai...". Rishav said teasingly.

Abhijeet looked at him grumpily but his all grumpiness vanished in air when he saw his chhotu's smiling face.

" mera pyala Bhai...Mera chhotu...mera Gudda ". Abhijeet kissed his baby brother lovingly on his both chubby cheeks and cute tiny nose.

Baby Daya clapped his hand in happiness getting his brother love after long time. He gave slopping kiss on Abhijeet's face who cuddled him tightly on his chest.

Aa leke chalun tujhko

Ek aise desh mein

Aa leke chalun tujhko

Ek aise desh mein

Milti hain jahan khushiyan

Pariyon ke bhes me

Milti hain jahan khushiyan

Pariyon ke bhes mein

Pariyon ke bhes mein..

Aa leke chalun tujhko

Abhijeet's melodious voice welcomed ACP sir, he saw the scene and became stunned. His Abhijeet was singing the samle lubally which pooja used to sing every night for him and Rishav.

Ho chand chahe aadha

Ho phir bhi roshni

Ho chand chahe aadha

Ho phir bhi roshni

Ummeed jo na chhute

Har baat hai bani

Raaton ke sur se nikle

Subah ki raagini

Lori tujhe sunaun

Lori tujhe sunaun

Bachpan ki ek main

Lori tujhe sunaun

Bachpan ki ek main

Abhijeet kissed on his brother's closed eyes softly and kept his cheek on his baby's head. ACP sir and Rishav both looked each other smiling.

Milti hain Jahan khusiya

Pariyon ke bhes mein

Pariyo ke bhes mein

Aa leke chalun tujhko

Main aasmaan ko khidkiyon se

Ghar mein laa doon

Main aasmaan ko khidkiyon se

Ghar mein laa doon

Saare ke saare taare

Yahan chun le la doon

Sapno mein rang mann ke

Yoon hi bharti aayi hoon

Har dard bhool jaaun

Har dard bhool jaaun

Yoon hi khel khel mein

Har dard bhool jaaun

Yoon hi khel khel mein

Abhijeet remembered his mother how he always slept on his mother's lap while listening his mumma's sweet voice, his eyes filled with tears. ACP sir wiped his son's tears in pain and sing the next line

Milti hain jahan khusiya

pariyon ke bhes mein

Pariyon ke bhes mein..

Aa Leke chalu tujhko

Dena tu mann ki shakti

Maalik mere mujhe

Dena tu mann ki shakti

Maalik mere mujhe

Meri katha vyatha

Hai sab pata tujhe

Main jab bhi dagmaagaun

Tu thaamna mujhe

Chhode hain Swapna Sare

Chhode hain Swapn saare

Teri dekh rekh mein

Chhode Swapn Sare

Teri dekh rekh mein

Milti hain jahan khushiyan

Pariyon ke bhes mein

Rishav and Abhijeet both hugged his father , ACP sir kissed on their forehead lovingly and caress Daya's cheek lovingly.

Milti hain jahan khushiyan

Pariyon ke bhes mein

Pariyon ke bhes mein..

Aa leke chalun tujhko..

Lalala.. mmm…

Abhijeet looked at his baby who was sleeping like an angle. He placed his baby on cot and tried to leave but his chhotu baby washatching his collor in his tiny hand and not allowing him to go.

" Dekha bare papa aapne sote wakt bhi Chhote nawab ko abhi Bhaiya hi Chahiye". Rishav commented lovingly.

" Isliye kyunki Mera chhotu baby sabse Jada pyar mujhse karta hai, aapse Nahi ". Abhijeet replied in naughty tone.

" Aur aap kisse sabse Jada pyar karte ho ?". ACP asked putting Abhijeet in trouble.

" Mujhe bahut bhook lag rahi hai Mai khane ja Raha hun " Abhijeet said instantly

He kissed on Daya's forehead and slowly freeing his uniform from his cotton like hand , he ran from there murmuring

" Dad ne to mujhe hi fasa Diya "

ACP sir and Rishav both chuckled on Abhijeet's antics.

" pagal hai ye "

" par cute hai"

Abhijeet replied in casual tone from behind " Dad Boys cute Nahi hote hot hote hai "

Acp sir and Rishav's mouth were hanging , while our Abhijeet was busy in eating obvious to his father and brother's shock.

Abhijeet was smiling softly remembering the best moments of his life. when everything was perfect and now nothing seems normal.

" kaas sabkuch pahle ke jaisa hota ". Abhijeet wished in pain

Next Day

Abhijeet came to home at 4:30 a.m spending whole night on beach. As he opened the door he found Daya standing in front of him

" What the..tum abhi tak soye nahi " Abhijeet asked in shocking tone

" Neend nahi aa rahi thi " Daya repled while looking down

He wanted to say that without apolozing for his misbehaving he couldn't go to bed but after seeing his brother in front of him, not a single words was coming from mouth.

" oh..."

Abhijeet replied awkwardly, he couldn't believe that he is feeling awkward to talk with his little brother.

" ummm Agar aapko bhi neend nahi aa rahi to chai peeoge aap ? " Daya asked trying to break the ice between them.

" Hmmm " . Abhijeet replied in low tone and sat on couch.

Daya went to kitchen and started to make tea for both while thinking that he could talk his brother now . Bringing two cups of tea he came outside and became really surprised when he saw his brother sleeping peacefully on couch.

He smiled softly and dump both cup of tea in dustbin . keeping Abhijeet's hanging hand on his chest he placed his brother's head on pillow and after pecking his forehead Daya leave from there.

At 8 a.m

Abhijeet's sleep broke with his phone ringing sound, he rubbed his eyes and gasping the senario he mentally chided himself for sleeping like this.

" Dcp sir ka call "

Abhijeet attend the call urgent " yes sir "

" sorry Abhijeet tumhe iss wakt Pareshan karne liye par it's urgent "

" Sir kya baat hai ". Abhijeet asked softly.

" Abhijeet Aryan ka postmortem ho chuka hai aur protocol ke according tum chaho to uska last ritual kar sakte ho kyunki tumhare family ke alawa aur koi nahi tha uska ya fir hume electric cremation

Abhijeet cut him in teary tone " sir please Aryan anath nahi hai, mera bhai hai wo aur thank you mujhe inform karne ke liye, mai ek ghnate me ake uski bo ( he stopped while gulping his tears )..use wahan se le jaunga.

Cutting the call Abhijeet was going to freshen up when he jerked from breaking sound of something. He turned instantly and saw Daya has broken the the glass which he was holding.

Daya's silent tears and shievering body was enough for Abhijeet to know that he had heard everything.

" Mai bhi aapke saath chal raha hun bhaiya " . Daya said after composing himself.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

Daya grabbed Abhijeet's hand which was trembling holding the fire stick.

" Mujhse ye nahi hoga..mai nahi " Abhijeet said in painful tone

" Bhaiya aaphi ne kaha tha na ki Aryan humara bhai hai , aapko bare bhai hone ka farz nibhana hai...humare Aryan ke liye.. please bhai " Daya requested

Abhijeet closed his eyes in pain and giving last farewell kiss on Aryan's forehead, duo gave mukhagni to Aryan . Last bye is always painful for every human being , seeing their beloved body burning in front of your eyes was the most terrifying thing in the world.

The same hands from which Aryan used to eat gave agni to his body. Abhijeet was digging nails into his closed fist trying to reduce the pain that is swallowing him from inside.

"Abhijeet hume postmortem ke dauran Aryan ke shoe se ek chip mila hai jisme Pragyav ke khilaf sare saboot mile hai . sayad isi pendrive ke liye Aryan ko itna torture Kiya gaya..bahut bahadur baccha tha ye jaan dedi isne par pendrive unke haath nahi lagne di "

Remembering the forensic doctor statement he was feeling proud and anger on the same time for Aryan, because of that fucking pendrive Aryan had to suffer so much. He was wishing to replace himself in Aryan's place, if he didn't give the pendrive to Aryan that day..Aryan might be alive today.

The guilt was eating him gradually from inside, he doesn't know how to repent his mistakes, he doesn't know how to breathe knowing that Aryan's death caused due to him. He doesn't know how to face himself in mirror after what he did to his own Dad.


In Acp sir room (After 3 days )

" sir aapka coffee "

" Thanks Freddy "

" kya hua sir aap itne pareshan kyun hai..ab to Acp sir bhi tabeeyat kafi behtar hai, aaj to unhe ek baar hos bhi aya tha par kamjori ke wajah se doctor ne unhe sedative deke sula diya..fir aap kis soch me doobe hai ". Freddy asked worriedly

" Mai dad ko leke nahi bhaiya ke liye pareshan hun, Aryan ki maut ne unhe kafi hila diya hai.. Freddy i am feeling so guilty yaar..wo pahle se hi itne trauma me the aur main unhe sambhalne ke badle unse naraj hue ja raha tha ". Daya said sadly

" sir aapko pata bhi to nahi tha Aryan ke bare me ". Freddy tried to console him

" Fir bhi Freddy wo itne khatarnak mission se aye aur ye poochne ki jagah ki wo theek hai ya nahi main unpe baras Raha tha (his eyes became teary)

" Bachpan se lekar aaj tak unhone mujhe kabhi akela nahi parne diya aur jab unhe meri sabse jada jaroorat thi maine unka saath chhor diya..bahut bura bhai hun mai " . Daya said with lump of tears in his throat.

" sir abhi bhi der nahi hui hai ab to aapko apni galti ka ehsaas hai na..aur mujhe Pura yakeen hai aap Abhijeet sir ko sambhal lenge "

" itna asan nahi hai Freddy ...Aryan ke funeral ke baad usne turant duty join karli aur khudko kaam me aise busy rakha hai unhone jisse unhe kuch sochne ka mauka hi na mile...( in frustration) aur pata hai jab mai unse kuch bhi baat karne jata hun bolte hai daya bureau me nahi ghar pe baat karenge aur ghar ake bina mujhse mile room band karke so jate hai "

" yahan tak ki teen din me ek Baar wo dad se milne hospital tak nahi aye , mujhe to kuch samajh Nahi aa raha mai kya karu..". Daya said tiredly hiding his face in palm.

Freddy patted his shoulder as he himself didn't know how to console with words. Because everybody knows that Abhijeet sir never used to share with anyone what is going in his heart and mind . And he also knows that he is suffocating himself without sharing his pain.

While Daya and Freddy was thinking about Abhijeet, they didn't get Acp sir has heard each and every thing about his son. After listening his son suffering, a lone tear slip down from his eyes.

" Da...ya ". Acp tried to call his younger one

Daya jerked up his head hearing his Dad calling his name after freaking 5 days. Oh , how much he has waited for this moment. His eyes were boring on Acp sir as he was not believing that his dad has really called him...he wanted to believe that this is not just a figment of imagination like other times.

" Daya ". Acp sir called him this time clearly in his usual loving tone.

Hearing second time the loving tone of his father, his tears couldn't remain in control..they were rolling down in his cheeks but with happiness. He took baby step toward his father and stopped.

" jante hai aap kya halat ho gayi thi humari aapke bina..ek baar bhi humare bare me aapne nahi socha na dad yahan iss bed pe letne se pahle ". Daya said in breaking voice complaining like a kid.

Acp sir smiled with tears and hold his ear " sorry ..galti ho gayi dad se, maaf Nahi karega mera gudda "

Daya's voice was choking with tears, he just hide himself in his dad's broad shoulder while crying like a kid. Acp sir kissed on Daya's head and cuddled his baby wishpering sweet nothings in his ear.
