...

A car was moving smoothly on the busy roads of Mumbai. Abhijeet was on passenger seat and Daya obeviously on driving seat. It was evening time and both were returning home from bureau after solving a tough case. So, both were tired and wanted to reach home as soon as possible. Suddenly Daya asked –

Boss, agle hafte ka kya plan h tumhara?

Abhijeet – Bhai Sahab pehle ye hafta toh guzar jane dijiye. Aur waise bhi agle hafte kya alag h…vahi duty aur criminals ke peeche bhagna.

Daya – Pkka?

Abhijeet – Han kyu?

Daya – Nahi kuch nahi… jaane do.

Abhijeet – Aree toh pooch kyu rahe the?

Daya (angry) – Bevkoof tha…bhool gya tha k Senior Inspector Abhijeet apna sara dimaag aaj ke case mein hi kharach kr aaye h.

Abhijeet (confused tone) – Aree tum toh bhadak gye…btao bhi yr.

Daya – Huh!

Abhijeet (irritated tone) – Meri samajh mein nahi aata k tum baat shuru hi kyu krte ho jab khatam nahi krni.

Daya – Huh!

Abhijeet – Huh!

Abhijeet with great difficulty hid his laugh and pretended to be irritated with this discussion. He knew Daya was talking about his birthday. He wanted to plan something and surprise Daya. So, he can't reveal the truth. On the other side Daya was thinking –

Pkka dramebaaz h ye aadmi. Kuch toh khichdi pkk rhi h iske ander. Par muh se bhaap tkk nahi nikalega. Bss "Aain" "Aain" krke pkata rahega. Koi baat nahi dekhte h kya hota h. Daya beta intezaar krle.

With this both reached home. Daya parked the car while Abhijeet opened the door. He went to kitchen and fetch two glasses of water. Meanwhile Daya came and both settled on Sofa and had water. Both went to get fresh. After freshening up both prepared dinner together. They had their dinner while having chit chat and went to sleep waiting for the next morning.

Next Morning…

Abhijeet got a call from ACP Pradyuman who asked both of them to reach early. So, they had light breakfast and left for bureau. They reached bureau only to find ACP Pradyuman roaming there to and fro.

Abhijeet – Kya baat h sir? Aap preshaan h?

ACP Pradyuman – Han Abhijeet…ek mission aaya ek bache ki jaan ko khatra h aur Daya tumhe as a school teacher banke uske school mein jana h.

Daya (shocked) – Kya! School teacher!

Abhijeet was controlling his laughter. He knows that Daya can't handle this.

ACP Pradyuman – Han school teacher.

Daya – Sir main kis angle se aapko school teacher lagta hun? Aap Abhijeet ko bhejiye na…voh toh shakal se ek strict teacher lagta h.

Abhijeet (shocked) – Kya! Main strict teacher lagta hun.

ACP Pradyuman (raising his hand) –Abhijeet.

ACP Pradyuman - Daya tumhe hi jana padega. Actually, Abhijeet ko DCP ne bulaya h. Last case ki briefing ke liye.

Now it's Daya's time to laugh while Abhijeet's irritation was at peek.

Abhijeet (irritated tone) – Kya! Lekin sir…

ACP Pradyuman (pretended to be angry) – Kya sir. Han! Koi problem h?

Abhijeet (stammering) – N..No sir. No Problem.

ACP Pradyuman – Then get back to your assigned tasks. Both of you hurry up.

Dou nodded and looked at each other with a helpless look. Both wished each other good luck and did a handshake. While ACP moved to his cabin smiling in dissappointment from the antics of his two senior officers.

Both got engaged to their respective works. Later on, Abhijeet also joined the case. Daya already started his work at school. Later, Daya got shot during the case and team reached there.

Abhijeet (shaking Daya) – Daya…Daya…ankhen khuli rakho. Kuch nahi hoga tumhe.

Daya was taking deep breaths.

Abhijeet (helpless tone) – Pankaj ambulance ko kitni der h.

Pankaj – Sir bas aa rhi h…voh aagyi.

They took him to hospital. He was taken to OT instantly.

Doctor – Dekhiye aap log fikar mat kijiye. We will try our best.

ACP Pradyuman – Nahi doctor. You have to save him at any cost.

Doctor – Don't worry.

He went to OT and closed the doors. The red bulb of OT room is On now showing that operation is going on. Whole team was outside the OT. Abhijeet was moving to and fro in restlessness. He was thinking or rather consoling himself –

Kuch nahi hoga Daya ko. He is a fighter. Is bar bhi jeet ke hi aayega. Uska birthday h agle hafte. Usee toh kitna shonk h birthday manane ka. Voh janta h mujhe uska birthday yaad h. voh apne birthday ke surprise ka intezaar kr raha tha. Voh aise nahi ja sakta. Usee kuch nahi hoga…han nahi hoga. Daya…please come back to us.

Freddy was continously praying for him while ACP was standing there waiting restlessly. He has sent others to solve the case. OT door open after 3 hours long wait.

Abhijeet – Doctor Daya theek h na?

Doctor – Ji officer, He is fine. Unhe ek ghante mein hosh aa jayega.

ACP Pradyuman – Thankyou very much doctor.

Doctor – It's my duty ACP sir. Now excuse me.

ACP nodded. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. They went inside Daya's cabin. Abhijeet sat near Daya's bed and held his hand tightly to get an assurance that his buddy is safe. He was assuring himself that his Daya is with him now. ACP and Freddy were standing beside and adoring the brothers.

ACP Pradyuman – Abhijeet relax. Voh theek h ab.

Abhijeet's pool of thoughts got disturbed with this. Only then he realised that his father figure was standing aside while he is sitting. He got embarassed. He immidiately got up and said in embarassed tone –

Sir aap baithiye please. I am sorry. Mera dhyaan…

ACP Pradyuman (interrupted ) – Hogya tumhara.

Abhijeet – I am sorry sir.

ACP Pradyuman – Relax ho jao aur socho.

Abhijeet (confused tone) – Kya sochna h sir?

ACP Pradyuman – is nalayak ko kya surprise dena h. Apna birthday nahi chodne wala ye.

Daya (weak voice) – Han boss. Sochna bhi mat.

Trio got happy seeing him concious. They smiled while Daya held Abhijeet and ACP's hands strongly. He was assuring them that he is fine now. Freddy went to call the doctor. Doctor came and assured them that he is fine now. Daya's eyes started sparkling.

Daya – Toh sir ab toh main theek hogya hun toh mera discharge?

ACP Pradyuman – Sochna bhi mat. Abhi 1 ghanta bhi nahi hua inhe hosh mein aaye hue aur laat sahab ko discharge chahiye.

Daya – Sir us bache ki jaan ko khatra h. Aur in choti moti choton se mera kuch nahi bigadne wala.

Abhijeet – Daya sir theek keh rhe h. Tum aaram kro. Hum dekh lenge case.

Daya – Boss please. Goli shoulder mein lagi h. Main zyada move nahi krunga apna shoulder but mujhe jana h.

ACP Pradyuman – Theek h…vaise bhi nahi manne wale tum.

Doctor – Dekhiye ACP sir mana ki aap ki duty bhut zrori h magar is haalat mein main inhe discharge nahi kr skta.

Abhijeet – Doctor sahab aap discharge de digiye. Verna ye hospital se bhaag jayenge.

Doctor (shocked) – Kya!

Abhijeet – Ji.

Doctor – Magar…

Abhijeet (interrupted) – Doctor sahab, hum inka dhyan rakh lenge. Aap discharge kr digiye.

Doctor – Theek h…magar aap logon ki gaurentee par.

Daya (excited tone) – Thankyou doctor. Mujhe jail se aazaad krne ke liye.

Doctor and ACP glared him hard while Abhijeet came to save him.

Abhijeet – Sir main discharge papers ready krwata hun. Aayiye doctor sahab.

Doctor (dissappointed tone) – Chaliye.

Both left and Daya was left alone with ACP Pradyuman only to hear snubbing.

ACP Pradyuman – Kya zrorat thi esa kehna ki?

Daya – Sorry sir. Voh excitement mein muh se nikal gya. Main ready hota hun sir jab tkk Abhijeet aata h discharge papers leke.

He immidiately left to get ready. ACP Pradyuman shook his head and said – dono ne hi hitler samajh rakha h mujhe.

Meanwhile Daya got ready and Abhijeet came back with discharge papers. Trio left the hospital and started working on case. During the case they found a bomb. Daya as usual, took the bomb with him and ran away towards sea. Team started chasing him. ACP Pradyuman called Freddy to reach there to stop Daya.

ACP Pradyuman (on call) – Freddy, jaldi se sea side phuncho. Daya bomb leke bhaag gya h.

Freddy – Han sir main phunchta hun.

ACP Pradyuman – Dekho usee rokna h tumhe. Usee akele aage nahi jane dena.

Freddy – Sir aap chinta mat kijiye. Main Daya ko sir ko aage nahi jaane dunga.

ACP Pradyuman – Good.

Both cut the call and Freddy reached there before Daya.

Daya – Freddy tum yahan kya kr rhe ho.

Freddy – Sir main aapko bomb leke nahi jane dunga. Ye bomb aap mujhe de dijiye.

Daya – Acha Freddy suno bomb mujhe boat mein rakhne do. Hum ise boat mein chod denge…taki yahan na phat jaye.

Freddy – Theek h sir.

Daya (boarding the boat) – Freddy ye rassi toh kholo boat ki. Main boat ko aage krta hun.

Freddy (opening rope) – Sir ab aap bahar aa jayiye.

But we know Daya didn't came out. He cleverly started the boat so that Freddy couldn't notice it and ran away.

Freddy (shouted) – Sir ruk jayiye. Aap ne mujhe dhokha diya h.

Meanwhile team reached there and shocked to see Daya driving the boat in sea. The were shouting to stop Daya. Daya got emotional seeing his team members…No his only family. He just waved his hand saying Goodbye. ACP Pradyuman, his father figure's worried face. Teary eyes and call of his best friend cum bhai. Junior cum friend who never gets offended with his teasings and pranks. His whole life was revolving in front of his eyes. Whole team 's face was roaming in his heart and mind. His beautiful journey with his lovely family. He can't stay from them.

Suddenly a thought clicked his mind that If he can't survive without his team then how will team survive without him. They will be broken if anything happens to him. He remembered the time when he was almost dead during rocky case. He remembers how his team his stone heart father and his not so emotional brother broke down. Abhijeet had pleaded the doctor to save Daya. He promised doctor Salunkhe that he will never ever tease him if he saves Daya. His father ACP Pradyuman who never show his any emotion in front of anyone failed badly in front of him. It's not only the rocky case but many more cases where he has witnessed the pure concern of his father. What about Abhijeet. He will become the same Abhijeet he used to be 15 years ago. He will be lost again in the shell of pain, anger and ofcourse the guilt of not saving his buddy.

NO! He can't do this to his has to go back. He jerked badly with this thought and suddenly jumped out of the boat and in the very second bomb blasted in the boat. Boat was far away in the sea so team couldn't notice Daya jumping out. They just witnessed the blast and got a huge walt of shock. A painful shout named Daya came out of ACP Pradyuman's mouth and everything stand still. They were shattered. They couldn't even blink their eyes. They were standing shocked there for about 10 minutes.

After about 10 minutes, they again got a shock. What they saw couldn't believe. Yes….Daya was coming out from water that too perfectly fine without any traces of bruises from the blast. He smilingly forwarded his hand towards Abhijeet. Abhijeet just came out of the shock and grabbed his hand to help him coming out. More than helping Daya, he was helping himself to come out from the painful era. He wanted to believe that his brother is safe. As soon as Daya came out he just hugged him tightly. Daya too hugged him back tightly to assure him.

Daya – Main theek hun Boss.

Abhijeet pushed him hard and said in a teary angry tone – kya theek ho. Jaan nikal di hamari. Kuch andaza h tumhe hamari kya haalat hogyi thi.

Daya – Han Boss andaza tha tabhi toh boat se kood gya.

Daya (moving to ACP Pradyuman) – Sir.

ACP Pradyuman – Tum nahi sudhroge kabhi. Aage se aesa kiya na toh main tumhe suspend kr dunga samjhe. Chlo aayo ab.

In reply he just hugged ACP Pradyuman with a cute Sorry sir.

ACP Pradyuman – Han ek sorry aur ye masoom shakal bna ke nikal lete ho hmesha.

Both laughed and Daya removed tears from his father's eyes. Then he moved to freddy.

Daya – I am sorry yar.

Freddy – No sir. Main aapse kabhi baat nahi krunga. Aapne mujhe dhokha diya h.

Daya – Yrr kll mera birthday h. Agar hmara pyara freddy hi hamse naraaz rahega toh birthday kaise celebrate krenge.

Freddy (teary angry voice) – dekhenge. And he moves to their car.

ACP Pradyuman – chlo ab sabhi.

Everyone nodded and left the area. ACP Pradyuman ordered freddy to drive the car to Dou house. He orederd Dou to go home and take rest as the case was solved only reports are left. They dropped Dou home and left. Abhijeet opened the door and helped Daya get inside. He was feeling in his bullet wounds. Sea water and continous working created clutter for his wounds. His wounds were swelled up and paining.

Abhijeet – Daya ye lo medicine aur pani lo. Tb tkk main soup leke aata hun.

Daya – Boss tum bhi baith jao thoda araam krlo.

Abhijeet – Main chote sahab ko bta dun k ye dwaayi khane ke sath leni h. Toh behtar k voh chup rahe aur mujhe mera kaam krne de.

Daya – Par Boss.

Abhijeet – Soup bna ke aaraam kr lunga.

Daya – Yes Boss.

Abhijeet came with soup for both of them. Till then Daya got fresh. Both were having soup together with some light chit chat. Suddenly Daya fed Abhijeet soup with his hands.

Abhijeet (surprised) – Ye kis liye?

Daya – Tumhe btane ke liye k ab main bilkul theek hun aur tumhare saath hun. So, just relax now.

Abhijeet – Hmm. Lekin aaj tumne dara diya tha mujhe.

Daya – Voh toh duty thi Boss…chodo na ab hum ghar pe hain toh kuch aur socho.

Abhijeet – Acha! Toh kya sochun? Aap hi bta dijiye.

Daya (pat his head) – Hey Bhagwaan. Ab ye bhi main btaon. Bhai sahab kll mera birthday celebrate…

And he stopped right there receiving a deadly look.

Abhijeet (angry tone) – Bhai sahab aapne apni haalat dekhi h. Toote Foote pade h aur inko Birthday manana h aur junk food khana h. Kuch nahi milega. Abhi kuch din bs healthy homely food bs.

Daya – Lekin.

Abhijeet just glared hard and he shut his mouth. Abhijeet just took the emply bowls of soup and left for kitchen. Meanwhile Daya just released his held breath and murmurred –

Khadoos kahin ka…mera birthday bhi kha gya ye aadmi!

Abhijeet – Kuch kaha tumne?

Daya – Nahi toh…main soch raha the thodi hawa kha lun terrace pe jake.

Abhijeet (angry tone) – Kahin nahi jayenge ab chote sahab. Ja ke room mein aaram kro aur apni body ko bhi relax hone do.

Daya – Acha theek h. Jata hun jata hun.

Abhijeet – main terrace lock kr rha hun. Koi chalaki nahi aur koi todh phod bhi nahi samjhe.

Daya (shouted) – Han mere baap samajh gya.

Daya (thinking) – Daya beta ja ke soja isse pehle k ye volcano yahin phat jaye.

Daya went to his room to sleep. Abhijeet also came inside to help him as his shoulder is injured. He helped him to change his shirt and to lay on bed. Then he turned lights off and closed his room door saying good night. He locked main door and switched off lights and other appliances and went to his room. He changed his clothes and lay on bed while switching off lights.

It was midnight when Daya heard a gunshot. He immidiately got up and opened the bed side drawer to take his gun. But his gun is missing. He was shocked but understood that now he has to use his muscle power only to catch the criminal. He causiously came out of the room. He checked Abhijeet's room but got shocked to see it open and Abhijeet is missing.

Daya – Abhijeet…Abhi….kahan ho tum?

Daya (thought) – kahin kisi ne Abhijeet ko? Nahi esa nahi ho skta.

He came out of the room but stopped right there hearing some footsteps from terrace. He very carefully climbed the stairs without making noise. He saw door of terrace was open. Now he was sure that someone is on terrace. He opened the door and when about to do something heard a loud sound of BOOM! Before he could process anything in his mind all the lights were on and loud voice echoed in his ears.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAYA/ DAYA SIR

He was shocked. The terrace was beautifully decorated with lights and flowers. There was a table at the centre with sofas all around to sit. Whole team was there to celebrate Daya's birthday. He smiled broadly looking at all of them. They started clapping as Daya walked in. Abhijeet came forward and hugged him.

Abhijeet – Happy Birthday Bhai.

Daya (smiled) – Tumne toh dara diya yr.

Abhijeet – Kyu bhai darana sirf tumhe hi aata h?

Daya – Aur meri gun kaha chupa di thi tumne?

Abhijeet (taking out gun from his pocket) – Ye rahi aapki gun.

ACP Pradyuman – chlo sab log ghar chlo…inhe toh ek doosre se hi baaten krni h.

Daya (immidiately) – Aree nahi sir ruk jayiye.

ACP Pradyuman – Aree Daya main toh mazaak kr rha tha. Happy Birthday my Son.

Daya – Thankyou Sir.

Whole team wished him. He replied thankyou to everyone. Then Rajat braught the cake to centre table. He placed the cake and opened the box. It was a chocolate vanila mix cake with Daya written on it. Vivek put a candle on it. He just closed his eyes to make a wish and blow the candle. Then he cut the cake and everyone started singing birthday song and clapping. He fed the cake to ACP sir first then to Abhijeet then to all members. Team started giving gifts to their dear Daya sir. All of them took the cake and sat there.

Daya – Aree ab koi mujhe btayegak ye sab plan kaise hua itni jaldi. Hum sab toh case mein kitna busy the.

Dr. Salunkhe – Daya bache planning toh kafi pehle se chl rhi thi. Toh us hisaab se bs execution karna baki tha. Ye Freddy aur Vivek lage hue the tumhare birthday ki tyari mein.

Daya – Lekin sir Freddy toh abhi tkk mujhse naraaz h.

ACP Pradyuman – Toh Daya ye uska haq h. Aur tumhara bhi k tum usee manao.

Rajat – Sir aap inhe gaana ga kr manayiye na.

Abhijeet – Han ye theek h. Bahaane se hme bhi tumhari madhur aawaaz sunne ko mil jayegi.

Daya nodded and cleared his throat and started singing looking towards Freddy.

Dil ki aawaaz bhi sun

Mere fasane pe na ja…

Meri nazaro ki taraf dekh

Zamane pe na ja.

Dil ki aawaaz bhi sun -2

He stood up and held Freddy's hands and continued –

Ik nazar dekh le -2

Jeene ki ijajat dede.

Roothne wale voh pehli si mohabbat dede

Ishq masoom h -2

Ilzaam lagane pe na ja

Meri nazaro ki taraf dekh

Zamane pe na ja.

Dil ki aawaaz bhi sun….

Freddy hugged him tightly and said –

Aap ne aage se esa kiya na toh dekh lena…main aapse kabhi baat nahi krunga.

Daya – Ab toh kr diya na Freddy.

Freddy – Han sir.

With this everyone clapped again now it's time for opening gifts. First of all, he opened Abhijeet's gift. It was a collection of photos of Daya. All were different from each other. Photos were like Daya standing in the middle of bureau holding a file, discussing something with team members, holding a his gun, driving his dear car, laughing with Freddy, getting scold from ACP Sir, standing with his googles on a investigation spot, coming out of airport from a mission wearing a dashing shirt holding bag in one hand earphones dangling in neck and weraring googles, doing file work. ACP sir gifted him a gold pen. Dr. Salunkhe gifted him a black colour pen with the name "Senior Inspector Daya" embossed on it. Freddy gifted him pairs of sunglasses of different brands. Vivek gifted him shirts. Rajat gifted him a brand-new smart watch. The girls gang gifted him collection of his favourite songs and buquet of different flowers. Suddenly Vivek asked –

Sir aapne wish kya mangi thi candle blow se pehle?

Daya (smiled sweetly) – Yahin ke hum sab ka saath hamesha yuhin bana rahe aur hame kabhi kisi bhi vajeh se alag na hona pade.

Abhijeet – Ye bhut achi wish mangi tumne Daya…aur hum sab ise hamesha pura krenge. Hum sab ye koshish krenge k hum kabhi alag na ho.

Daya – Vaise tumne toh kaha tha k koi party nahi hogi?

Abhijeet – Aree mere yaar ka birthday h…koi choti moti baat thode hi h. Vaise bhi aaj tumne sabka sar garv se uncha kiya h itne sare logon ki jaan bcha k. Aur hamare pass wapas aake sabko khushi bhi di. Celebration toh bnta hi h.

Everyone smiled. Now ACP ordered all to stay in Dou house and sleep as it's already late. So, everyone followed his order and went to sleep.

...

Guys…agar kisi ne ye gaana nahin suna toh sun lena please. It's really nice song and my favourite one.

Please read and review.
