A/N…

Friends this is a kind of compensatory OS from my side for you all as just this week we received the news that our midterms are going to be held in the coming week about which the administration had earlier told us that there will be only final exams, so this news has taken us nearly off guarded and we need to prepare for the exams now… Because of this I am unable to focus on "Remember Me" as that story is having multiple stories running in the background and there are chances of me ruining it for both me and you guys because of revealing something I haven't develop a link of or telling something different than what I already mentioned, therefore I am putting that story on hold for a while, really sorry for it but that one is a tricky story, having a lot of room to turn into a disaster, plus it is my first attempt with anything like that because of which I am a little extra careful but that's for sure that I am not going to disappear with Lord's will, as soon as the midterms will get over, I will be back with that story's next update… :))

Okay now coming to this OS, this is a light OS with a backdrop of this lock-down, written on university students' lives' struggles… ;) ;P


Character's Introduction…

Friends here Abhijeet sir is around eighteen years old and is a university student of 4th semester while Daya sir is around seventeen years old and is a university student of 2nd semester… DUO are cousin brothers and because of their studies they are living in another city, away from their family who are living in another city which I have picked after reading an article on university students' struggle in this pandemic…


This is a sort of Gham-ghalat type OS for me to do my gham-ghalat, hehe, hope so aap sb ka bhi thora gham ghalat ho jaye ga iss sy… :-* Hope you guys will enjoy it, love you all… :))

An advance apology if any of my word hurt anyone… :))

Regards,

DUO-MRF…


Mumbai…

DUO's Apartment…

It was another casual routine morning when Abhijeet returned from the kitchen with a cup of hot tea in his hand and sitting in the lounge, switched on the TV and started watching the news channel… Soon Daya had also emerged from his room and seeing him sitting there…

Daya came towards him with: Abhi aaj itni subah mein kyun utha dia yar…?

Abhijeet glancing over him had replied coolly as: Kaki nahin aaien gi kuchh din, breakfast aur…

Daya cut him in a rather loud tone as: Kya, Kaki nahin aaien gi…? Lekin kyun…?

Abhijeet gave him a disappointed look with: Iss pandemic ki wajah sy Daya, call aai hai unn ki subah mein…

Daya, who was now sitting beside him, asked as: Achha theek hai lekin mujhy kyun utha dia itni jaldi…? Kaki k aany ya na aany sy mairi neend ka kya talluq hai…?

Abhijeet replied in calm tone as: Ta k tum ghar k kaamon mein mairi help kerwa sako…

Daya cried out in shock as: Kya main…?! (Trying to make the latter understand, added as…) Yar Abhi, mujhy sy nahin hoty ghar k kaam, tumhien ptta tou hai…

Abhijeet replied in relaxed tone as: Tum chinta nahin kro, main hoon na… (Daya was about to get happy thinking Abhijeet would be doing all the work alone when Abhijeet looking at him concluded as…) Main kerwa lun ga tum sy kaam…

Daya's all hopes vanished in thin air and he jerked his head grumpily with "Hunh"…

JB LIFE HO OUT OF CONTROL, HONTON KO KER K GOOOOL,

HONTON KO KER K GOL, SEITII BJJA K BOOOOL…

And then trying to expel his frustration on somewhere else…

Daya while trying to grab the TV remote, said as: Achha remote tou doo idher tum, kitna bore ker rahy ho…

Abhijeet still grabbing the TV remote at a safe distance from the latter, told him in strict tone as: Daya mairy hath mein garam chae hai, girr jaye gi, peichhy htto…

Daya grumpily moved back with: Tumhara newspaper kahan hai…? Woh perho na tum, remote mujhy doo…

Abhijeet told him plainly as: Newspaper wala bhi nahin aaya… (Signaling him towards the TV screen, continued as…) Lockdown hai government ki taraf sy purry country mein…

Daya made a frustrated face with: Bs yehi hona baqi reh gaya tha, aakhbar nahin aaye ga tou matlab tum pura din news channel lggai rakho gy aur mujhy pkkaty raho gy… (Receiving only calm silence in return, getting more frustrated asked him as…) Yar Boss yeh tou bttao k aakhir tumhien khabron mein milta kya hai…? Sirf jhoot, yeh media waly politicians sy kmm jhooty tou nahin hoty… (Jerked his head with…) Aur phir aaj kal tou pichhly aik hafty sy wohi khabrien aa rahi hain bs sirf cases ka number increase kia hai… (Shook his head unpleasantly with…) Bhagwan maaf kry inn media walon sy wasey, apny channel ki TRP berhany k chakkar mein itny dil dehlany waly andaz mein khabrien suunaty hain k humain depression ka mareez bnna k hi chhorien gy yeh…

Abhijeet shook his head disappointedly with: Kuchh media personals k ghalat hony sy pura media ghalat nahin ho jata Daya aur phir tu khud bhi tou media studies mein hai na…

Daya slightly nodded with: Haan tou bs issi aik wajah sy tou hoon iss field mein k sb aik sy nahin hoty, phir maira tou interest bhi hai…

Abhijeet switching off the TV stood up with: Achha bs bohut baatien ho gaien, utho ab jaldi sy, nashta bnna lien, phir tumhari class ka bhi time ho jana hai…

Daya while following him inside the kitchen, declared as: Wasey sach mein Boss, yeh online classes wala kaam sirf time waste hai, yeh semester tou pura waste ho gaya hai…

Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Hmm lekin shuker hai k humara final semester nahin tha, mairi Language ki class mein aik student hai Freddy, final semester ka, bechara itna preshan hai aaj kal, unhien tou final projects bhi miley hoye thy…

Daya nodded unhappily and DUO remained busy in preparing breakfast and then having it in such casual random talks…

JB, LIFE HO OUT OF CONTROL, HONTON KO KER K GOL,

HONTON KO KER K GOL, SEITII BJJA K BOL,

AALLLL IZZZZ WEEEELLL…

After having breakfast and then getting free from washing the utensils, Daya left towards his room as his class was going to start in a minute or so while Abhijeet remained busy in making tea for the two, sidewise cleaning the kitchen…

Soon Abhijeet entered in Daya's room very quietly, not to disturb him in his studies but was welcomed by a shock as Daya with the headphones on was sitting on his bed in half-lying posture, resting his head on the headrest and eyes closed…

On the very first look Abhijeet got well that he was sleeping, bringing out a highly disappointed sigh from his mouth and moving near him, he first looked towards the laptop screen to make sure that the camera and microphone were off and then placing the tray on the bed side table, he completely turned towards the latter and grabbing his shoulder…

Abhijeet smoothly shook him with: Daya utho, Daya…

Daya jumped on the bed while exclaiming loudly as: Present sir, present, main hoon class mein sir, present…

Abhijeet gave a light smack on his head with: Aby main hoon, sir nahin hain…

Daya spreading hand on his face looked at him with: Kya kerty ho Boss, drra dia mujhy, abhi heart attack aa jata mujhy…

MURGHI KYA JANY AANDY KA KYA HO GAAA,

ARRY LIFE MILLY GI YA TAVY PY FRY HO GAAA…

Abhijeet while sitting in front of him had asked him sternly as: Class k time py soo rahy ho, dimagh theek hai sahab ka…?

Daya looked at him grumpily as: Tou aur kya kron… (Signaling towards the laptop screen, told him as…) Itni baekar class hai, mujhy hi ptta hai… Na koe slides, na course material, school k bchchon ki tarhan dictation dy rahy hain k hum note ker lien, iss tarhan ki class mein tou neend hi aaye gi Boss…

Abhijeet told him sternly as: Ager sahab sath mein notes laity rahien gy na, phir neend nahin aaye gi aap ko…

Daya removing the headphones forwarded them towards the latter while sidewise forwarding the register and pen too with: Panch minute yeh class ly k daikh lo, ager tumhien bhi neend na aai na, tou maira naam bddal daina…

Abhijeet heaving a helpless sigh grabbed all the things from the latter while Daya grabbing the teacup started sipping it…

When after a while Abhijeet felt a flash on his face, hence confusingly turned his gaze towards the younger one to find him looking at him in stern smile…

Abhijeet asked him confusingly as: Kya hua…?

Daya in same teasing smile showed him his mobile screen and Abhijeet cleared his throat unnecessarily seeing himself yawning there and the latter had captured that moment as a proof…

KOE NA JANY APNA FUTURE KYA HO GAAA,

HONT GHOOMA SEITII BJJA, SEITII BJJA K BOL,

BHAIYA AAL IZZ WEEELL, ARRY BHAIYA AAL IZZ WELLLL,

ARRY CHACHU AAL IZZ WEEELLL, ARRY BHAIYA AAL IZZ WELLLLL…

Abhijeet trying to make excuse told him as: Woh chae nahin pei tabhi thori sussti hai… (And then stood up while placing all the things on the bed with…) Aur utho tum bhi foren… (Signaling him towards his study table, told him as…) Wahan baith k lo apni classes, bed py baith k lo gy tou neend hi aaye gi na, utho foren…

And seeing the elder one was standing there in complete strict authoritative mode, Daya stood up and grabbing all the things left towards the study table with big grumpy face and continuous grumblings… When seeing Abhijeet leaving the room now, Daya took a big sigh of relief but his happiness could not last longer as the latter had soon returned in his room with his laptop and switching it on, he got busy in making his assignment while sidewise keeping eye on the latter, who had now left with no other option but to take his class seriously…

CONFUJION HI CONFUJION HAI, SOLUTION KUCHH PTTA NAHIN,

SOLUTION JO MILA TOU SAALA QUESTION KYA THA PTTA NAHIN…

Soon the class got over and there was an hour break before the next class hence moving from the study table, Daya lie down on the bed with his head on the latter's folded leg, bringing a disappointed smile on the elder one's face who smoothly weaved in his head and…

Abhijeet still not moving his gaze away from the laptop screen, asked him softly as: Aik class mein hi thak gaye kya…?

Daya slightly shook his head with: Thakka nahin hoon Boss, bore ho gaya hoon bohut ghar mein bnd reh reh k… (Looked towards him with…) Chalo na Boss please, groceries ly k aaty hain…

Abhijeet glanced over him in disappointed smile with: Sb groceries hain ghar mein Daya, doo din pehly hi tou mungwai hain sb, aaj kal bina zarorat ghar sy nahin nikalna chahiye bilkul… (Looked at him in soft smile with…) Responsible citizen hai na tu, hmm…?

Daya making a frowning face sat on the bed with thud with: Sach mein Abhi, kash main koe Chawl mein rehny wala unperh insan hota tou iss samey main bhi bahir ghoom raha hota, hunh…

Abhijeet looked at him disappointedly with: Tujhy ks ny kaha k Chawl mein rehny waly ya unperh log responsible nahin ho sakty…? (Told him as…) Kaki perhi hue hain kya…? Lekin apni responsibility samjh k ghar baith rahi hain aur keh rahi thien k bhaly sy iss mahiny ki paghar bhi na dien unhien…

Daya asked him in real shock as: Tou kya hum unhien nahin dien gy unn ki iss mahiny ki pay…?

DIL JO TAIRA BAAT BAAT PY GHABRAYEEE,

DIL PY RAKH K HATH USSY TU PHUSLA LYYY…

Abhijeet snubbed him with: Daya main tairy kaan k neechy bjja dun ga ab aik… (Daya just looked at him grumpily while he added as…) Woh apni khushi sy baith rahi hain kya ghar py jo unn ki pay kaat lien gy hum…? Bhagwan ki daya sy itna diya hai uss ny humary ghar walon ko k humien aik dosry shaher mein perhny bhaijny k sath sath, iss ghar ka kharcha bhi aaram sy afford ker sakty hain woh tou hum kyun easey majboor logon ka haq rakhien apny paas, hmm…?

Daya nodded agreeably with: Tou main bhi tou yehi kehna chah raha tha, tum ny dantt hi dia… (And then moving a little close to him, told him in low pitched tone as…) Abhi tumhien ptta hai, yeh jo humary neechy waly flat number 201 mein Sukhi uncle rehty hain, iss lockdown k karen sy unn ki job aur earning dono bnd ho gae hain…

Abhijeet asked him confusingly as: Tujhy kaisy ptta…?

Daya told him as: Yar itna bore ho raha tha main ghar mein tou kal balcony mein gaya tha, wahan woh apny baity sy phone py baat ker rahy thy k kuchh paisy bhijwa dy, unn k paas bills tk pay kerny k paisy nahin hain…

Abhijeet replied as: Lekin Aruv bhaiya tou Australia mein hoty hain, wahan sy tou paisy aany mein time lggy ga, yun bhi aaj kal tou sb bnd hai…

Daya nodded with: Wohi tou aur woh jo Ridhima di hain, woh tou bchchon ko tuitions daiti thien lekin iss lockdown k karen bchchy hi nahin aa rahy, unn k Papa ki medicines khatam ho gaien hain aur woh khud ja nahin paa rahien store tk apny paralyzed Papa ko ghar py akela chhor k…

Abhijeet asked him sternly as: Aur sahab ko yeh itni detail mein kaisy ptta hai…? Unn ka flat tou humary samny hai tou balcony mein khary ho k tou aap nahin suun sakty yeh…?

Daya nodded while telling him carelessly as: Kal drwazy sy bahir jhank raha tha tabhi woh sath wali Seema auntie ko btta rahi thien k Karan bhaiya la dien unn k hospital sy wapis aaty samey lekin auntie ny kaha k bhaiya tou kuchh din hospital mein hi rahien gy, doctors ki double shifts bhi lg rahi hain na aaj kal…

Abhijeet nodded while inhaling a deep breath with: Hmm, chalo ager hum log kahin bahir gaye fruits waghaira lainy tou pouchh lien gy di sy bhi…

Daya protested as: Lekin Boss medicines tou zarori chahiye hoon gi na unhien, woh tou foren lanien chahiye…

Abhijeet giving him a stern look replied as: Main di ko call ker k pouchhta hoon pehly, ho sakta hai ab tk mungwa li hoon unhon ny kisi sy… (And while standing, told him strictly as…) Aur sahab ab sy apni yeh auntion wali herket bnd krien bilkul… (Snubbed him strictly with…) Khabardar jo dobara yun kisi k ghar ki baatien suuni jo tu ny, bohut bura haal kron ga main taira…

And with that warning he left the room where inside…

Daya jerked his head while grumbling as: Tou aur main kya kron yun ghar mein nazar-bnd ho k iss thanedar k sath…? Aur main ny kahan jaan boujh k suuni, yunhi aawaz per gae kaanon mein tou suun li, faltu ka roub jharta rehta hai hr samey… (Looked towards the room door with…) Issy tou main ny abhi Shukla uncle k barey mein bhi bttana tha lekin ab nahin btta raha main, faltu mein dobara dantt per jaye gi, hunh…

And he turned the latter's laptop towards himself and minimizing the opened window, opened a car racing game there and started playing it when soon Abhijeet returned and sitting beside him…

Abhijeet told him as: Karan bhaiya aa gaye thy wapis tou medicines bhi ly aaye thy woh… (And then pulling the laptop towards himself, ignoring the latter's protest, told him as…) Tumhari second class ka time ho raha hai, jao foren ab…

Daya while continuously cursing the online classes in his mind, left towards the study table and soon got busy in his studies… Seeing him deeply involved in his class now and actually taking interest in it because of this being communication skills class, Abhijeet shaking head in disappointed smile, closing the laptop screen left towards the kitchen to prepare lunch…

DIL IIIDIOT HAI PYAAR SY USS KO SAMJHA LYYY,

HONT GHOOMA SEITII BJJA, SEITII BJJA K BOL,

BHAIYA AAL IZZ WEEELLLL, ARRY BHAIYA AAL IZZ WELLLL,

ARRY CHACHU AAL IZZ WELLLLL, ARRY BHAIYA AAL IZZ WEELLLLL…

After freeing from the kitchen, Abhijeet returned in the younger one's room to find him writing something on the register so he looked towards the wall clock to find the time of his class was over hence reaching near him…

Abhijeet softly placed his hand on the latter's shoulder with: Daya…!

Daya turned towards him with: Hmm…?

Abhijeet asked him confusingly as: Tumhari aaj ki classes khatam nahin ho gaien, doo hi thien na sirf…?

Daya nodded with: Hmm, ho gaien hain khatam, main quiz k topics note ker raha tha, next class mein hai…

Abhijeet nodded with: Hath mun dho lo jaldi sy, lunch ker lien pehly… Mairi classes start ho jaien gi phir…

Daya nodded while standing and soon after getting fresh, joined Abhijeet in the lounge and both took their lunch in casual talks while watching an animal documentary… And then DUO returned in the kitchen, doing their respective works…

Returning in Daya's room…

Abhijeet sat on his bed with: Daya tum baith k apny quiz ki taiyari kro, main raat mein tumhara quiz lun ga…

Daya looked at him in shock with: Boss main nahin dun ga tumhien koe quiz… (Abhijeet gave him a cold look, so he added while looking like ready to cry as…) Tum bohut strict marking kerty ho Abhi, itni strict tou sir bhi nahin kerty…

Abhijeet replied him coldly as: Main iss baar marks dun ga hi nahin, theek…

Daya cut him in loud shocked tone as: Kya…?! Bina marks k quiz nahin hota… Marks nahin doo gy tou main quiz bhi nahin dun ga…

Abhijeet asked him calmly as: Matlab ager marks dun ga tou tum quiz doo gy…?

Daya nodded instantly with: Haan…

Abhijeet told him in relaxed tone as: Theek hai, main marks dun ga, tum quiz ki taiyari kro…

And Daya stood there with open mouth, now finally realizing that Abhijeet had very smoothly tricked him in his own words resulting…

Daya exclaimed in helplessly-frustrated tone as: Abhi…!

Abhijeet gave him a stern look with: Chup, main assignment bnna raha hoon, aaj raat tk submit kerwani hai mujhy tum bhi ab chup ker k yahin mairy samny baith k perho…

And Daya knew well that he had left with no other option than to obey the elder one hence, grabbing his previous seat, he opened his laptop again and started preparing for quiz which he knew well, wouldn't be easy as his brother cum teacher was very strict and unforgiving when it comes to studies…

SCHOLARSHIP KI PEI GAYA DAARU GHUM TOU PHIR BHI MITTA NAHIN,

AGGR-BATTIYAN RAKH HO GAIEN GOD TOU PHIR BHI DIKHA NAHIN…

After around an hour…

Daya finally moved back on the chair and turned towards the latter with: Abhi…!

Abhijeet busily replied as: Hmm…?

Daya told him as: Prepare ho gaya hai quiz…

Abhijeet nodded with: Raat mein lun ga main, tb tk thora rest ker loo tum…

Daya nodded and moving from his chair, sat beside him with: Achha Boss woh main ny pocket-money rakhwai hue hai na tumhary paas…?

Abhijeet nodded busily with: Hmm…

Daya asked him as: Kitni ho gae ho gi ab tk Boss…?

Abhijeet still busy with his assignment replied as: Nearly 22 thousands…

Daya nodded while telling reluctantly as: Mujhy chahiye thi woh…

Abhijeet without moving his gaze from the laptop screen, asked confusingly as: Kyun…? Tu tou new mobile phone k liye jmma ker raha tha na woh…?

Daya cleared his throat while thinking for some excuse as: Haan woh lockdown hai na tou main bore hota rehta hoon tou game lainy ka soch raha hoon main…

Abhijeet who had easily felt the younger one struggling with words smoothly turned his complete attention towards him with: Koun si game…?

Daya not knowing the answer had caught off-guarded by the latter hence looking around, replied nervously as: Gg-Game, koun si game… (Feeling it difficult to look in the latter's eyes, tried as…) Car race, car racing game hai aik new…

Abhijeet asked him calmly as: Tumhien ptta hai na Daya jb tum jhoot bolty ho tou mujhy ptta chal jata hai…? (Daya moved his head down while he asked him softly as…) Sukhi uncle ko dainy hain na…?

Daya looked at him in shock with: Tumhien kaisy ptta chala…?

Abhijeet gave him an affectionate smile with: Tu sapny mein bhi kuchh sochta hai na mairy bhai tou mujhy ptta chal jata hai, samjha…?

Daya nodded in cute smile with: Hmm, samjh gaya…

Abhijeet giving a soft pat on his cheek, turned back towards the laptop with: Main kal uncle sy bahany sy bill ki details ly lun ga k hum bills online pay ker dien gy unn k bhi, inn halaat mein zada crowded places py jana theek nahin hai… (Looked at the confused Daya with…) Hum bchchy hain, yun samny sy paisy nahin dy sakty, bura lgta hai bohut…

Daya nodded understandably and then cleared his throat while asking him reluctantly as: Woh ager kuchh aur bttaon ga tou dantto gy tou nahin…?

BAKRA KYA JANY USS KI JAAN KA KYA HO GAAA,

SEEKH GHUSSY GI YA SAALA QEEMA HO GAAA…

Abhijeet shrugged with: Baat py depend kry gi yeh baat…

Daya sighed and then replied as: Main ny khud sy nahin sunna, kal jb neechy sy dustbin khali ker k aa raha tha tb Shukla uncle k ghar ka drwaza khula hua tha aur ander sy Anuj k rony ki aawaz aa rahi thi, khany k liye aur auntie ussy behla rahi thien k uncle khana lainy gaye hain jb k main ny khud unhien parking mein baithy daikha tha…

Abhijeet looked at him in shock with: Tou kal tu biryani ki tray inhien dainy gaya tha…?

Daya nodded with: Hmm…

Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Hmm, main groceries order kerta hoon, woh ja k unn k ghar k bahir rakh aana lekin bell bjja k peichhy htt jana, unhien ptta nahin chalna chahiye k ks ny rakhi hain, samjh gaye…?

Daya nodded in relaxed way with: Yes Boss, got it…

Abhijeet nodded in soft smile and then signaled him towards his study table with: Ab ja k apni study table samaito aur ab sy utna hi kamra aur ghar phailana jitna samait sako, samjhy…?

Daya nodded carelessly with: Yup, main dihan rakhon ga…

Abhijeet nodded like "We will see" while telling him as: Aur ab sy dinner ki taiyari tum ny daikhni hai…

Daya, who was standing now, exclaimed loudly in shock as: Kya, main ny…?

Abhijeet gave him a cold look with: Iss mein itna cheekhny ki kya zarorat hai…? Kaki nahin aaien gi tou kaam hum dono ko hi divide kerny hoon gy na…

Daya hurriedly sat beside him with: Tumhien ptta hai na mujhy cooking nahin aati… Tum lunch zada bnna laity na, main kaisy bnnaon ga dinner…?

Abhijeet replied him calmly as: YouTube kholo, tutorial daikho aur bnna lo kuchh bhi… (Daya looked at him grumpily while saying in his mind as "Main bhi easa khana bnnaon ga na k dobara kahy ga hi nahin kabhi bnnanay ka, hunh" while Abhijeet added as…) Aur yeh yaad rakhna k khana khany laiq ho warna apny samny bitha k sara tum hi sy khatam kerwaon ga main bhi… (Looked at him calmly with…) Samjh gaye…?

Daya closing his opened mouth jerked his head with "Hunh" while Abhijeet shaking his head disappointedly got busy in his previous work, seeing Daya getting busy now in watching tutorials…

KOE NA JANY APNA FUTURE KYA HO GAAA,

TOU HONT GHOOMA SEITII BJJA, SEITII BJJA K BOL,

BHAIYA AAL IZZ WELLLLL, ARRY BHAIYA AAL IZZ WELLLL,

ARRY CHACHU AAL IZZ WEEELLLL, ARRY BHAIYA AAL IZZ WEEELLLL…

When after few seconds, out of his own curiosity Abhijeet peeped to see Daya's mobile screen and that had resulted a loud disappointed laugh from his mouth, turning Daya's frowning gaze towards him who had typed "Recipes of the easiest meals to cook" and now was busy in deciding the menu from those recipies…

Abhijeet while trying to turn serious after seeing latter's burning gaze still on himself, told him as: Daal chawal bnna lo, main tareqa bttata hoon, register ly aao bhag k…

Daya nodded while instantly placing the mobile on the bed and ran towards his study table to obey the latter as he knew well that no tutorial or recipe could make him understand anything the way his elder brother would… And hence taking both the register and pen, Daya sat beside him and Abhijeet narrated him the whole recipe with all the necessary details by giving him an open offer to ask him any query if felt difficulty in preparing meal…

After getting satisfied from the menu's side, Daya lie beside the latter telling him to wake him up in the evening as there was still half day left and nothing else left to do for the younger one so he slept and Abhijeet did not stop him, so that he could peacefully take his classes that were going to start in around an hour plus could finally concentrate on his assignment, he was trying to do since hours but could not even write half of it...

JB LIFE HO OUT OF CONTROL TOU HONTON KO KER K GOOOOL,

HONTON KO KER K GOOL, SEITII BJJA K BOOOL,

AALLLL IZZZZ WEEELLLLL…

In the evening, Abhijeet, who's classes for the day were over now, had returned in Daya's room from the kitchen with two glasses on milkshake to find Daya returning from the bathroom as Abhijeet had awakened him before leaving towards kitchen…

Abhijeet who was sitting on the bed now had forwarded his milkshake glass towards him with: Tumhari kal koe class nahin hai na…?

Daya slightly shook his head with: Nahin, kal Saturday hai na, weekend off hai humara…

Abhijeet nodded with: Hmm humara bhi off hai… (Told him in straight tone as…) Kal phir ghar ki safai kerni hai, theek hai…?

Daya making a crying face, protested as: Kya ab safai bhi hum hi ny kerni hai, ajeeb mazaq hai… (Told him frustratedly as…) Kaki ko bolo k aa jaien, bhaly sy yahan mairy room mein shift ho jaien, main bahir lounge mein soo lun ga, mairy sy nahin hoty itny kaam…

Abhijeet, who was listening him calmly, replied him in straight tone as: Ager tumhari yeh faltu ki bk bk bnd ho gae ho tou main kal tumhien jaldi utha dun ga...

Daya suggested him as: Boss ghar chalty hain wapis, jb yeh lockdown khatam ho ga tou aa jaien gy wapis…

Abhijeet gave him a real disappointed look with: Daya tu janta hai na achhy sy k Andhra Pradesh mein internet ka kitna problem rehta hai, phir humari haveli tou hai bhi gaon mein, odher tou aur bhi problem hota hai tabhi tou Papa aur Chachu ny ghar sy itni dour, Mumbai bhaija hai humien perhny k liye…

Daya argued as: Tou perhny k liye bhaija hai na, ghar ki Kaki bn'nny k liye tou nahin…

Abhijeet patted hsis forehead with: Hye bhagwan, Daya tu…

Daya cut him with: Abhi mujhy nahin ptta, brri maa ya maa ko call ker k haveli sy bulwa lo kisi ko, main nahin ker raha yeh jharoo pocha, brrtnn dhona, cooking, sara kuchh…

Abhijeet, turning his tone strict, told him as: Wahan sy koe nahin aa sakta Daya, transport bnd hai sb aur ab yeh behas main aur nahin sunu ga, sirf tumhien problem nahin ho raha, global pandemic hai, iss sy hum sb ko mil k hi nikalna hai, samjhy…?

Daya kept silence now, knowing well that in other case he could get a very good snub from the latter where Abhijeet taking the now empty glasses, left the room the same minute, leaving the grumpy one behind…

MURGHI KYA JANY AANDY KA KYA HO GA, KYA HO GA,

ARREY LIFE MILLY GI YA TAVY PY FRY HO GA…

After few minutes, Daya came out from the room and looked around to find the whole home in silence so he left towards the elder one's room and carefully peeped in his room, knowing well that he must be sleeping now and yes, he was… Moving back, Daya returned in his room and half lying on his bed, looked around idly and then grabbing his mobile phone, opened the game and got busy in playing it…

Around 07 of the evening Abhijeet too had woke up and DUO enjoyed their evening tea while sitting in the balcony and enjoying nature and after that, Abhijeet left to read some random magazine and Daya left to prepare dinner for the two, which was surprisingly good, maybe because there was not much room of error in making Daal-Chawal or maybe because Daya was continuously supervised by the elder one or maybe because Daya too had the unexplored cooking talent in him or maybe all of them…

After having their dinner, they returned in Daya's room where Abhijeet gave Daya his questionnaire for the quiz and himself sat there, revising his own lecture…

KOE NA JANY APNA FUTURE KYA HO GA, KYA HO GA,

HONT GHOOMA SEITII BJJA, SEITII BJJA K BOL…

After thirty minutes, the mobile beeped and…

Abhijeet looked towards Daya with: Daya time khatam ho gaya hai, ly aao quiz…

Daya still speedily busy in writing, said as: Abhi bs aakhri line reh gae hai, aik minute dy doo please, sir bhi dy daity hain…

Abhijeet told him strictly as: Daya main countdown dy raha hoon, teen tk ginnon ga, ager tb tk tumhara quiz mairy paas nahin pohancha tou uss k baad tum apny paas rakhna apna quiz…

Daya still writing, said as: Boss, bs aik aakhri word…

Abhijeet started calmly as: Aik…

Daya, having no time to close the pen, hurriedly tossed the pen on the table with: Aa gaya…

And before Abhijeet could count two, Daya had grabbed the register in his hands while sitting in front of him, catching his breath now where Abhijeet completely ignoring the panting younger one, got busy in checking the quiz and soon grabbed the register back to the curious young lad and…

Daya exclaimed in shock as: Saat number…? Itna achha test dia hai main ny, dus mein sy sirf saat number…?

Abhijeet told him plainly as: Writing bohut kharab aai hai tumhari, end mein tou bilkul hi samjh nahin aa raha kuch, panch dainy thy main ny, saat dy diye, shuker kro…

Daya made a highly frustrated face with: Panch kyun dainy thy…? Aik tou itna lamba test dia, phir sirf aadha ghanta dia kerny k liye, uss py writing bhi calligraphy jaisy chahiye, hunh…

Abhijeet told him softly as: Test lamba nahin tha Daya tum sy time manage nahin hua… (Signalling him towards the start of the test, added as…) Yeh daikho, first question tum ny kitna achha kia hai, itna neat, headings bnna bnna k, lafz bnna bnna k, pandran minute tou tum ny khali issi question py lgga diye hoon gy, baqi doo k liye time hi nahin raha… (Grabbed the register back to him with…) Main tumhien class quiz ki taiyari nahin kerwa raha, finals ki kerwa raha hoon, wahan itna time hi ho ga tumhary paas… (And he stood up with…) Kal phir sy quiz lun ga main issi ka aur ager iss handwriting k sath dia tou zero sy oper aik mark nahin mily ga tumhien… (Ignoring the latter's shocked-frowning look, left towards the room door with…) Apni study table arrange kro aur ja k change ker k soo jao ab…

And he completely left the room leaving the latter with his grumblings behind who too stood up and with the same annoyance on his face arranged the study table and then left inside the bathroom…

BHAIYA AAL IZZ WELLLL, ARRY MURGHI AAL IZZ WEEELLLLL,

ARRY BAKRY AAL IZZ WEEEELL, ARRY BHAIYA AAL IZZ WEEELLLLL…

Soon Abhijeet, now dressed in his night suit, returned in the younger one's room to check him and found him ducked inside the blanket, busy in playing game on his mobile…

Abhijeet moving towards him, asked him as: Daya tum ny change nahin kia…?

Daya still focused on his game, replied as: Boss night suit dhulny wala hai…

Abhijeet asked again as: Aur woh black wala…?

Daya glanced over him with: Woh tou pehly sy hi laundry basket mein hai aur blue wala dhobi k paas dia hai, dosry kapron k sath…

Abhijeet told him in plain tone as: Hmm theek hai, kal apny kapry bhi dho laina phir tum yaad sy…

Daya instantly sprang in sitting position exclaiming in real shock with: Kya matlab kapry dho laina…? Ab kya dhobi bhi nahin aaye ga…?

Abhijeet looked at him coldly with: Koe dhobi, kaki, dodh wala, aakhbar wala, cycle, auto-rickshaw wala, koe nahin aaye ga, tum qaid ho iss ghar mein mairy sath, samjh aa gae tumhien…? Dobara nahin pouchhna ab mujh sy koe faltu sawal tum…

Daya stamping the mobile on the bed, replied in real frustrated tone as: Sach mein Abhi iss samey mujhy Aladin wala Genie itna yaad aa raha hai na k tum soch nahin sakty…

Abhijeet replied him in teasing smile as: Woh bhi sahab ki sirf teen wishes hi puri ker sakta tha, uss k baad sahab ko apny kaam khud kerny perty…

Daya smirked at him with: Boss tumhien abhi mairi intelligence ka sahi sy andaza nahin hai, main pehli wish hi easi mangta na k phir aagy mujhy uss Genie ki zarorat hi na rehti…

Abhijeet asked him in calm smile as: Aur sahab easi kya wish mangty Genie sy, main bhi sunon zrra…?

Daya replied him excitedly as: Main ussy kehta k mujhy aik aur Genie la k dy js sy main unlimited wishes ker sakon, woh Aladin tou bewakoof tha, Genie ny jo teen cheezien kahi thien k woh nahin ker sakta, unn mein yeh thori thi k woh aik aur Genie nahin la sakta…

Abhijeet, who was standing there hiding his smile getting really entertained with the younger one's intelligence who was looking very proud on his brainpower, asked him again as: Aur ager Genie keh daita k woh yeh nahin ker sakta tou…?

Daya replied in frustrated tone as: Tou main ussy kehta k woh bhi inn online classes ki tarhan ka baekar Genie hai, chup chap wapis sy lamp mein chala jaye aur uss lamp ko main kahin dour phaink aata, hunh…

Abhijeet shaking head in disappointed smile, replied as: Achha ab tum iss Genie sy yeh sb conversation sapny mein ker laina, soo jao chup ker k, subah bohut kaam hai…

Daya asked him annoyingly as: Yar Abhijeet aik tou tum ny bhi na yeh Biochemical engineering choose ker li, electrical engineering ker k, kmm sy kmm koe easi machine hi bnna laity js mein kapry khud ba khud dhul jaien…

Abhijeet looked at him coldly with: Easi machine already hai aur ussy automatic washing machine kehty hain jo laundry mein mojoud hai ager aap ka kabhi wahan jana hua ho tou… (Daya gave him a grumpy look while he added as…) Tumhien na koe easi machine chahiye js mein kapron ko paon lg jaien aur woh khud chal k machine mein baith jaien aur machine ko hath lg jaien aur woh apny regulators khud ba khud set ker k, khud sy on ho jaye aur baad mein kapry khud chal k, cloth-stand py hang ho jaien…

Daya replied casually as: Wasey easi bhi aik machine hai Boss…

Abhijeet asked in flow as: Koun si…?

Daya gave him a naughty wink with: Tum…

Abhijeet glared at him disappointedly with: Soo ja chup ker k ab, maar kha ly ga warna tu…

Daya letting out a sweet laugh, lie down with: Good night Boss, sweet dreams…

Abhijeet shook his head in disappointed smile with: Good night…
