Abhijeet again tried to cast his fear out by holding Rahul's hands but the eyes of his did not change the color.
Rahul while looking down: tum mill lo aik baar… (listening to this Abhijeet lost his hope, he just pushed Rahul aside and went inside the OR).
Operation Room
Abhijeet got hurt seeing all the equipments and ghostly pale Daya lying on the metallic bed. Several needles were attached to his hands while an oxygen pipe was running up to nose. He suddenly replaced all the tears with anger inside his heart and eyes. He gave a tight slap on his face with anger and pain. Seeing no movement or change in the posture of Daya he got more angry.
Abhijeet gave a small jerk to him: kya masla hai haan… uth q nhi rahy ho tum… ktini dair ho gai hai tumhara yeh tamasha dekhty dekhty… (holding back his tears) kbsy bula raha hun… dil kr raha hai dun aik or kheench k… sari aqal thikany a jaye gi… ziyada shok hai na mjhe pareshan krny ka… dekh Daya mai araam sy keh raha hun uth ja agar tune meri baat na mani na to dekh mai kiya krta hun… (now he lost all the control he had on his emotions, he burst into the pool of tears) please uth ja na… mere sabar ka imtehan na lay iss tarhan… (he carelessly fall upon Daya and hugged him tight) tu to meri sari baatain manta hai na… uth ja na phir… (trying to deal with him) acha esa krty hain aik deal krty hain… tu uth ja aik baar usky badly mai, main tjhe aik mahiny tk roz bahar khana khilaun ga, shopping karaun ga, roz ice-cream khilaun ga, jo tu boly ga na wo karun ga… (seeing no response) mai sirf das tk ginun ga usky baad deal cancel, (tried to emphasize on the benefits of the deal) esi deal roz roz nhi milti… OK to mai counting start kr raha hun…

OK, now you have done it, deal canc… hunh… what just happened? A feeble cough? A loose grip? A week voice? What's going on?
Daya weakly: esy… kesy… deal… (inhaled a deep breath) can..cel…
Abhijeet just up his head and looked at the tired eyes looking at him smilingly, saying don't worry everything's fine. Abhijeet in happiness and anger hugged him more tightly whilst giving a small slap on his chest.
Daya in pain: aaahhhh… abhi… kiya… kr rhy ho… lag raha… hai…
Abhijeet hurriedly separated himself from Daya: sorry… zyada to nahi lagi na… haan… sorry gussy mai maar diya yaar… bht dard ho raha hai kiya…(While Daya was smiling) tu kuch bol q nhi raha… (seeing him smiling) hansi kis liye a rhi hai…?
Daya smilingly: Mai yeh soch kr khush ho raha hun k, kitna maza aye ga na jb tum apni deal poori karo gy… jo mai kahun ga wo karo gy, wo bhi poory aik mahiny tk… haye mere to paun zameen pr nbi tik rhy khushi k mary…
Abhijeet shook his head in negative: had hai pagalpan ki bhi… khair mai Rahul ko… (he stopped listening to the door opening voice, he turned and saw Rahul and Oldie DUO coming inside) lo Rahul khud he a gaya… Rahul dekho Daya ko dard ho raha hai…
Rahul came forward: mai dekhta hun, (looking at the three of them) aap log please bahar jayein…
Abhijeet: lekin… mai rukta hun na…
Rahul teasingly: mai kha nhi jaun ga tumhary bhai ko…
Abhijeet got embarrassed: hunh…
ACP Sir: chalo Abhijeet bahar a jao… (he caressed Daya's head) jaldi theek ho jao beta… (Daya nodded in smile as a response)
In corridor
Outside the OR Abhijeet was strolling anxiously, Oldie DUO tried to make him understand that everything is fine but he wasn't satisfied. After 15 minutes Rahul came out and gave him the details.
Rahul in a Doctor avatar: He is quite better now. Condition ab behtar hai pehly sy lekin araam ki sakht zarurat hai, stitches aik week baad khulain gy, blood loss ki wajah sy weakness bht hai to diet or medicine ka khass khayal rakhna hai.
Abhijeet: or discharge kb hoga?
Rahul: do din baad or pandrah din rest behad zaroori hai… or haan sbsy ziada zaroori baat… abhi bahar ka khana bilkul band hai…
Abhijeet nodded: mai mil lun ab…
Rahul: haan 10 min. Mai hum ward mai shift kr dain phir mil lena…
Abhijeet: OK
Rahul went from there. ACP Sir came forward: Abhijeet ab tum bhi thora araam kr lo, tumhari shakal sy he lag raha hai k tum kitna thak gaye ho…
Abhijeet: nhi sir mai bilkul theek hun, balky aap ab ghar jayain thora araam kr lain wese bhi subah to ho he gai hai… apko Bureau bhi jana hoga na…
ACP Sir patted his shoulder: mai to araam kr he lunga, tum yeh btao k kuch tumne raat ko medicines or doodh liya tha?
Abhijeet assuringly: G sir…
ACP Sir teased him: yeh to mai Daya sy poochun ga k tumne doodh piya k nahi…
Abhijeet in shock: aapko mjh pr yakeen nhi hai…
ACP Sir straightly: nhi… iss mamly mai bilkul bhi nhi…
While going towards Daya's ward: mai zara Daya sy pooch kr aya…
Abhijeet just stared at his vanishing back in shock, he felt pressure on his shoulder so turned his back where Salunkhe Sir was standing. He looked at him like "What just happened?"
Dr. Salunkhe: hota hai hota hai… (laughed looking at his shocked face) chalo ander chalo… Daya wait kr raha hoga…
Ward
Daya was smiling while ACP Sir was caressing his hairy head with love. When Abhijeet and Dr Salunkhe entered a smirk appeared on ACP Sir's face. He signaled something to Daya by his eyes and asked him.
ACP Sir: haan to Daya aik baat to btao zara…
Daya: G sir poochain…
ACP Sir eyeing Abhijeet: yeh Abhijeet ny raat ko doodh liya tha kya?
Daya looked at Abhijeet and said with an evil grin: kahan sir, keh raha tha k doodh bhi koi peeny wali cheez hai?
Abhijeet got shocked, he gave an angry stare to Daya: yeh kiya bol rhy ho Daya, sach sach btao Sir ko jhooth mat bolo…
Daya innocently: Abhi mai sach he keh raha hun…
ACP Sir angrily looked at Abhijeet: Abhijeet yeh mai kiya sun raha hun…?
Abhijeet: Sir mai sach keh raha hun, yeh Daya apko jhooth bol raha hai (pleading Daya) Daya please sach sach bata dy na please…
Daya in a mood like "jao jao tum bhi kiya yaad karo gy": Sir chorain na, thorasa doodh piya tha Abhijeet ny... Mai bs mazak kr raha tha…
Abhijeet heaved a sigh of relief: dekha sir yeh jhooth bol raha tha… ab a gaya na apko yakeen mjh pr…
ACP Sir to Abhijeet: maloom hai mujhe, mai bs tumhy thora tang kr raha tha… (to Daya) Beta ab mai chalta hun Bureau bhi jana hai, tum araam karo or jo Rahul or Abhijeet bolain wo sb krna hai… khayal rakhna…
Dr. Salunkhe also patted his shoulder: I'm sorry Daya Bachcha… yeh sb meri la-parwahi k karan hua hai…
Daya held his hand with: yeh kya keh rhy hain aap Sir, is sb mai kisi ki koi ghalti ni hai… please don't feel sorry…
Dr. Salunkhe with a small smile: khayal rakhna apna… (Daya nodded assuringly).
ACP sir: chal Salunkhe chalain… Or Abhijeet tum bhi araam kr lo thora?
Abhijeet: G sir aap fikar na karain…Bye, Good day…
Daya: Good Day Sir, Bye…
ACP Sir: Bye… khayal Rakhna…
After Oldie DUO left, Abhijeet settled on the chair beside the bed. Abhijeet held his hand in his own hands and started in a sorrowful tone.
Abhijeet in sorrow: I am so sorry meri jaan… please mjhe maaf kr dy… sb meri laparwahi or bewakoofi ki waja sy hua hai… mjhe tera khayal rakhna chahiye tha na… agar mai khayal rakhta to yeh sb na hota… (In a painful voice) tjhe bht dard hua na?
Daya sighed, he tightened his grip on Abhijeet's hand: dekho Abhi, maine pehly bhi kaha hai k iss sb mai kisi ka koi kasoor nai hai… tum sb log kyun apny aap ko dosh dy rhy ho… jo hona tha wo ho gaya… honi ko koi nai taal skta na… iss tarhan apny aap ko kosny sy tumhy kuch nhi mily ga…
Abhijeet: lekin sb hua to meri laparwahi ki wajah sy hai na agar mai the Dr k pass ly jata to phir to yeh sb na hota na…
Daya assuringly: Boss, please yaar… tum mjhe kese ly kr jaty Dr. K pass, maine to tumhy bataya he nhi k meri tbiet kharab lag rhi hai… agar mai btata tbhi to tumhy pata lagta na… or mjhe pata hai aik dafa mai kehta k tbiet kharab hai to tum apni bhool kr mere peechy par jaty…
Abhijeet furiously: acha mtlb tune jaan kr nhi bataya k tbiet kharab hai… tu pagal hai ya jaan kr krta hai… Idiot kahin ka… agar kuch ho jata to? Tere sy bara idiot kahin nai hai iss duniya main… bewakoof esy bhi krta hai k koi?
Daya irritatingly murmured: lo iski top ka munh meri taraf ghum gaya hai ab… ab nhi bakhshy ga yeh mjhe…
Abhijeet: kuch keh rhy thy tum kiya?
Daya abruptly: nhi maine kb kuch kaha… mai bs yeh keh raha tha k kuch nhi hua na bs ab jany do is baat ko…
Abhijeet angrily: esy kesy jany dun haan… pata hai mai kitna dar gaya tha… agar mai sahi waqt pr na pohanchta to pata nhi kiya ho jata… meri to jaan he nikal gai thi… jb maine wo khoon… (Daya pressed his hands, Abhijeet took a deep breath) mjhe laga k mera drawna khwab sach ho gaya hai… tu mjhe chor kr chala gaya hai… mai ab kabhi bhi tjhe… (he tried to hold back his tears) dekh… dekh… (he cried) nhi paun ga… tu esa kesy kr skta hai mere sath… agar tu mujhe chor kr chala jata to mai kya krta…
Daya forcefully sat in pain and hugged him: kuch nhi huya hai mjhe… or na he kuch hoga kabhi… jesy mai tumhari jaan hun na… wesy he tum bhi neri jaan ho… or jb tk meri jaan mai jaan hai tb tk mjh mai jaan hai… ainda kabhi bhi esa nhi sochna k mai kabhi tumhy chor kr jaun ga… (Abhijeet was still crying) yaar ab to yeh rona band karo… (tried to change the mood) or deal ka kiya bna…
Abhijeet separated and placed pillows carefully behind Daya as it was painful for him to sit like that, Meanwhile he said: deal ka kiya hona hai… deal cancel…
Daya in shock: kiya matlab deal cancel… esy kesy tum deal cancel kr skty ho…?
Abhijeet smirkingly: cancel mtlb cancel… tumhari saza hai…
Daya: konsi saza… kesi saza…
Abhijeet: laparwahi ki saza…
Daya with a pout: Abhiiiiii… please deal na cancel karo… please… (as a warning) nhi to mai phir sy so jaun ga or uthun ga bhi nhi… haan iss baar pakka wala…
Abhijeet angrily slapped his head lightly: he waqt bakwas krwa lo… sahi kehta hun mai tu aik number ka idiot hai…
Daya doubtfully: deal cancel nhi hui na…
Abhijeet smiled a little: ja nhi krta deal cancel…
Daya happily: sacchi… I love you Boss… You are the best…
Abhijeet: I love you too meri jaan… and you are the bestest…
Daya: acha to ab aik mahiny tk jo mai kahun ga wo he tum karo gy…
Abhijeet smiled: haan… jo tu kahy…
Daya: to phir sbsy pehly meri jaan churao iss qaid khany sy… mjhe discharge dilwao jaldi…
Abhijeet strictly: kuch bhi pr yeh nahi… iss k ilawa jo mangy ga nily ga…
Daya annoyingly: tumny kaha tha kuch bhi… or yeh kuch bhi hai… mjhe nhi pata mjhe discharge chahiye bas… ab tum jo marzi kaho…
Abhijeet: please Daya yeh nahi… abhi Rahul ny kaha hai kam az kam do din tk yahi rehna hoga… please iss mamly main mai koi compromise nahi chahta…
Daya: lekin yaar ab mai theek hun na… dekho na… (Abhijeet scanned him; his pale face, dull eyes, bandage peeping through the shirt and weak body) mai bilkul theek hun… ghar ly chalo na please…
Abhijeet denied strictly: nahi… matlab nahi… tumhari shakal bata rahi hai k tumhari halat kiya hai… iss k ilawa jo kaho gy wo krun ga…
Daya scoffed: kabhi nhi manty tum meri baat, kiya faida esi deal ka... do din tk mai kiya karunga is qaid khany main... please na yaar...
Abhijeet with a cold sigh: theek hai lekin abhi nhi raat ko baat karunga mai Rahul sy... atleast sara din tumhy yahin guzarna hoga...
Daya was going to say something but Abhijeet interrupted: manzoor hai to bolo, kyun k raat sy pehly to main kisi surat nhi manun ga...
Daya agreed with: lekin raat k baad mai aik min nhi rukun ga yahan...
Abhijeet: theek hai... ab chalo leto... (he supported him to help him in lying down) araam sy...
After Daya laid: Abhi please mera sar daba do thora sa dard ho raha hai...
Abhijeet nodded and started pressing his head. After sometime Daya noticed Abhijeet was yawning continuously so he stopped him saying: bs Boss ab theek hai... tum bhi ab so jao bht thaky huye lag rhy ho...
Abhijeet denied saying: tu so ja phir mai bhi so jaun ga...
Daya insisted saying: please so jao mai bhi bs sony laga hun...
After so much insisting Abhijeet laid on the sofa lying in the corner of the room. Both buddies slept with sooth in heart and mind. Daya took the discharge on the same night after so much hungama. They also visited the family of Ravi to give his message to his wife and daughter. They again resumed their journey of happiness, sorrow, hope and what not?
