Daya recognised the voice,turned and exclaimed...
Daya(with shock): Abhi!...tum yahan!...itna jaldi hospital se discharge kaise mil gaya tumhe?...abhi to tum puri tarah se thik bhi nahin huye ho...
Abhijeet(sighed): aana pada mujhe Daya...par main yeh kya sun raha hu?...tum...mujhe chodke jaa rahe ho?...
Daya lowered his head and dropped a few drops of tears...then he looked up and said in firm tone...
Daya: haan...ja raha hu tumhe chodke main...sirf tumhe nahin...apni team ko...is shahar ko...sab ko chodke jaa raha hu main...
Abhijeet(in straight tone): kya main jan sakta hu kyun?...
Daya(in rude tone): nahin...main apna har baat tumhe batana zaroori nahin samajhta...main ek independent insaan hu...kabhi bhi kahin bhi ja sakta hu apne marzi se...samjhe tum?...
Abhijeet felt hurt hearing those rude words...he could not answer instantly at the very next moment...he remained silent...seeing his silence,Daya understood tha he had been hurt...so he said in comparatively low tone...
Daya: ummmm tum yahan kaise aaye?...
Abhijeet(in silent tone): cab se...hospital se direct yahan aaya hu...
Daya: nahin mera matlab tumhe kaise pata chala ki main yahan hu?...kisiko bhi to nahin pata tha...tumhe...kaise pata chala?...
Abhijeet(in firm tone): mujhe aaj ek mahine baad hosh aaya hain...lamba ek mahina...maine intezaar kiya tha...jab se aankh khula hain tabhi se hi...apne bhai ka intezaar...par woh nahin aaya mujhse milne...to mujhe hi aana pada usse milne...aur uske pata dhundhna koi badi baat nahin hain mere liye...main janta hu ki mere bhai kab kahan ho sakta hain?...
Daya: Abhijeet please...tum yahan se jao...tumhe ab hospital mein hi rehna chahiye...
He grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the main door...Abhijeet applied his full power to stop and said in firm tone...
Abhijeet: nahin jaunga main aaj yahan se...aaj chala gaya to mere zindagi mujhse dur chala jayega aur main kuch kar bhi nahin paunga...aur rahi baat hospital ki...Daya aaj agar tum chale gaye na to duniya ke best hospitals ke best doctors bhi mujhe thik nahin kar payega...mar jaunga main...
Daya slapped him hardly and shouted in immense pain and hurt...
Daya: shut up Abhijeet!...ek aur shabd nahin...(after a bit silence)...kyun mar jaoge tum mere bina?...hu kaun main tumhara?...kuch bhi to nahin...
Abhijeet(angry): matlab kya hain tumhara?...main tumhara aur tum mera kuch nahin lagte?...
Daya(in firm tone): nahin lagta main tumhara kuch bhi...samjhe tum?...aur tum bhi mera kuch nahin lagte...ab tumhe hospital jana hain to jao warna yahan baithe baithe shog manao...mujhe kuch fark nahin padega...main ja raha hu...tumhe jo karna hain karo...
He went towards the door but stopped hearing his buddy's voice from behind...Abhijeet was saying in teary heavy tone...
Abhijeet: to itne dino se kyun besabri se is din ka intezaar karte rahe tum Daya?...kyun itne din mere liye tadapte rahe?...mere yaadon mein doobe rahe hain?...kyun mere cheezo mein,mere tasveero mein mujhe dhundhne ke koshish karte rahe tum?...humara to koi rishta nahin hain...haina?...pure din kaam karne ke baad thake huye hone ke bawajood bhi kyun der raat tak mere pass baithke mujhse baat karte rehte the?...mujhe jagane ki koshish karte the...yeh jante huye bhi ki main jawab dene ki halat mein nahin hu...kyun mujhe bulate the barbar?...pagal to ho nahin...to kyun karte the yeh pagalo wali harkat?...kya milta tha tumhe iske badle?...kyun barbaad karte the apna waqt ek bejaan laash ke piche?
Daya's anger was rising slowly...but he could not control over his right hand anymore hearing that 'ek bejaan laash' term...he slapped his buddy again but this time with more pain...he shouted...
Daya: how dare you!...himmat kaise hua tumhara khudko ek bejaan laash kehne ki?...laash haan?...laash?...tum soch bhi kaise kar sakte ho ki mere bhai ek bejaan laash tha?...woh zinda tha...jaise bhi tha...mere pass hi tha...mere saath tha...mana ki mujhe jawab nahin de sakta tha...par mere baat sun sakta tha...samajh sakta tha...woh dur hoke bhi mere saath hi tha...
Abhijeet: to aaj jab woh jawab de sakta hain...tumhare itna kareeb hain...tum use chodke ja rahe ho yaar...kyun?...kya galti hain mera?...isse to mera coma mein rehna hi achcha tha...kam se kam tum mere pass to the...saath to the...aur aaj jab main bilkul theek hu tab tum mujhe chodke ja rahe ho?...
He bent over Daya's bag and after searching for sometime took out Daya's spare gun from it...he went to Daya and gave it in his hand forcefully...he said in heavy teary tone...
Abhijeet: lo yeh lo gun!...chalao goli aur pahucha do mujhe phirse coma mein...(again took the gun away from his hand)...ya tum kaho to main chalau?...kitni goliya lagi thi mujhe...teen...haina?...ek kaam karta hu pura chhe (6) ke chhe utar deta hu...
Daya jumped to him and tried to snatch the gun from his friend's hand...both began to struggle until Daya became successful to snatch the gun from him...he threw away the gun and shouted...
Daya: pagal ho gaye ho kya tum?...abhi goli nikal jata to?...tum pagal to nahin ho gaye achanak?...
Abhijeet: mujhe woh gun do Daya...gun do main keh raha hu...GUN DO...
Daya now felt helpless and now due to helplessness and to bring his friend to right way he again slapped him and shouted...
Daya: dimag kharab ho gaye kya tumhara?...kyun kar rahe ho yeh sab haan?...
Abhijeet: kyun mere marne ke baat se tumhe dukh ya takleef ho raha hain?...
Daya: haan ho raha hain...bhai ho tum mera...ek mahina...ek mahine tumse door raha hu main...pata hain tumhe mujhe yeh ek mahine mein kitna dard sehna pada?...andaaza bhi hain tumhe kuch?...nahin...agar hota to kabhi aisa nahin karte mere saath tum...har din har paal tumhare saath beetaye huye sare paal tadpata tha...raat ko so bhi nahin pata tha theekse...aankh bandh karte hi tumhara woh khoon se bhara hua,dard mein tadapta hua chehra aankho ke samne aa jata tha...pata bhi hain tumhe tab kitna takleef hota tha?...har din ghar se jab bureau ke liye nikalta tha...tab galti se tumhe pick karne ke qualis ko tumhare ghar ki taraf le leta tha...aur jab present realise hota tha tab...
Daya broke down into tears...Abhijeet was looking at him with sharp gaze...now he said in firm tone...
Abhijeet: achcha?...itna hi pyar hain mujhse?...to chodke kyun ja rahe ho mujhe akele?...mujhe dard nahin hoga?...jante ho Daya...jab mujhe us din sadak pe ek ke baad ek goliya lag raha tha na...tab main tumhe yaad kar raha tha...aur kisiko nahin...sirf tumhe...tumhara fikar ho raha tha mujhe khud ki nahin...mujhe yahin dar lag raha tha ki kahin mere jaane ke baad tum phirse akela na pad jao...phirse tanhai tumhe jakar na le...isi liye main ladta raha Daya...unlogo se...aur...(whispered)...kahin na kahin maut se...
Daya shivered remembering that black day again...he silently gripped Abhijeet's hand...Abhijeet did not look at him but continue to say absent mindedly...
Abhijeet: Tarika mujhe batati thi ki jab insaan coma mein rehta hain tab woh gehri neend mein hota hain...par uske baad ek aisa phase aata hain jahan woh sab kuch sun sakta hain...sab samajh sakta hain...feel kar sakta hain...par kisiko koi response nahin de sakta hain...is ek mahine mein mujhe pata chala hain ki woh sach kehti thi...
Daya: mere bhabhi jhooth thodi na bolti hain...
Abhijeet threw an angry glance on him which made Daya to shut his mouth in a jiffy...Abhijeet went to the open window and stood in front of it...keeping his gaze fixed outside...he said...
Abhijeet: Daya yeh mat samajhna ki tumpar beete huye takleefo ke bare mein mujhe kuch andaaza nahin hain...main janta hu Daya...main samajh sakta hu...tumne hi to mujhe bataya...maine apne kaano se sab kuch suna hain yaar...tumhare har ek dard ki kahani jo tum mere saath share karte the...mujhe pata hain...par main sirf sun sakta tha...kitna koshish karta tha jagne ka...aankhe kholne ka...par main nahin kar sakta tha...tumhare aansoo poonch nahin sakta tha...kitna dil karta tha tumhe gale lagane ka...par main woh nahin kar saka yaar...par yaar is mein mera kya galti tha?...main try to karta tha na?...nahin hota tha to main kya kar sakta tha yaar?...aur tum mujhe uske liye itne bada saza dena chahte ho?...khudse door karke?...kyun yaar?...kya kiya hain maine?
Daya gently turned his friend towards himself and wiped away his tears...he brought him to the bed and made him sit on it...then he knelt in front of him and said in teary tone...
Daya: is mein tumhara galti nahin hain yaar...tumne try to kiya th...dekh lo uska nateeja...aaj hum dono phirse ek saath hain...
Abhijeet(in same teary tone): par yeh saath kab tak rahega yaar?...tum to mujhe chodke jana chahte ho na?...yaar please mat ja...agar kuch galti ho gaya hain mujhse to please maaf kar de apne is bhai ko par yaar please mujhe chodke mat ja...pandrah saalon se tere saath ka aadat ho gaya hain yaar...ab nahin reh sakta tujhse door main...
Daya: jana kya main bhi chahta hu bolo?...par mujhe jana hi hoga yaar...main tumhe sahi salamat dekhna chahta hu...tumhare jaan mere liye humari dosti se mehenga hain yaar...yaar main hu hi manhoos...
Now it was Abhijeet's turn...he got super angry with that term 'manhoos'...he slapped him hardly on his left cheek...and shouted in pain and anger...
Abhijeet: how dare you Daya!...tumhare himmat kaise hua mere bhai ko mere hi samne manhoos kehte huye?...woh mere liye manhoos nahin balki lucky charm hain jiske saath hone ki ehsus se mere sab se dukh bhare din bhi sab se khush ki din mein badal jata hain...tum use manhoos keh rahe ho?...
Daya(shouted bitterly): manhoos hi hu main...jabse tumhare life mein aaya hu your life has become worse than hell...pehle mere wajah se tumhare yaddash gaya...phir maaji chali gayi aur is case mein mere nakaamiyaabi ke wajah se tum marne wale the...
Abhijeet(cut him in anger): what rubbish!...mere us halat ka jimmedar tum ho?...tumhe yeh lagta hain?...can you explain me how?...
Daya(still sobbing): main tumhe nahin bacha paya yaar...tum wahan sadak pe akele ladte rahe maut se!...mujhe yaad bhi kar rahe the na?...(Abhijeet sighed out a painful breathe and nodded)...mujhe bulaye bhi hoge...Siya ko kitna vishwas ke saath kahe the ki Daya uncle ko phone karna...tumhe mujh par kitna vishwas hain...aur main us vishwas ka maan nahin rakh paya...main nahin bacha paya tha tumhe...
Abhijeet: nahin Daya tum yeh...
Daya(cut him in teary painful tone): tum hi batao yaar...kya mujhe tumse dur nahin jana chahiye?...mere hi nakaamiyabi ke wajah se tum apne maut ke nazdig pahuch gaye the...is ke baad bhi main kis haq se tumhare zindagi mein rahu?...
Abhijeet(in teary tone): phir to mujhe bohot pehle hi tumhare zindagi se chale jana chahiye tha na?...mere wajah se hi tum...kuch pal ke liye hi sahi...(his voice got chocked)...hume chodke...yeh duniya chodke chale gaye the...main to maut ke munh se wapas aa paya...tum to...
He bursted into tears remembering the darkest day of the part of his life he could remember...Daya nodded his head negatively...Abhijeet continued in teary heavy tone...
Abhijeet: woh sab to mere wajah se hi hua tha na yaar?...agar woh Rocky mujhe kidnap na kar pata to mujhe woh din dekhna nahin padta...aaj bhi kabhi kabhi mere khwabo mein uski woh khushi bhara awaz sunayi deta hain ki Daya to gaya!...tum soch bhi sakte ho Daya ki mujhe kaisa feel hota hain?...kitna guilty mehsoos hota hain?...lagta hain ki sirf aur sirf mere wajah se hi tum wahan...us halat mein...pahuch gaye the...mujhe to tumhare zindagi se bohot pehle chale jana chahiye tha na yaar?...
Daya stood up and wrapped him in his secured shell and began to rub his back to console him...he could feel Abhijeet was still weeping silently...Daya separated himself from him and said...
Daya: boss bas karo...humara to is bare mein pehle bhi baat ho chuka hain yaar...tum jimmedar nahin ho us baat ka...hum mein se koi bhi nahin hain...jimmedar hain to bas halat...tum kya jan bujhkar kidnapped huye the?...jan bujhke nahin bachaye the mujhe?...nahin na?...to?...tum kyun aaj bhi khudko jimmedar mante ho?...tumne to koshish kiya tha na...par us Rocky ne...(Abhijeet shivered hearing that name again)...arey arey ghabrao mat...main hu boss...dekhu main hu...tumhare saath hu...dekho mere taraf...(with more softness)...dekho...
Abhijeet looked at him with fear in his eyes...yes fear...fear of losing the most precious thing i.e. The only relation of his life...Daya felt that this same scare he had seen in those deep brown eyes three years ago too when he was losing his breathes rapidly...he understood that that fear had got buried in his heart...since then...Daya said...
Daya: yaar Abhi tum aisa kyun soch rahe ho?...tumne jan bujhke thodi na kuch kiya...woh sab mere saath hona likha tha yaar...honi ko hum tal nahin sakte the yaar...tum khudko jimmedar kyun mante ho?...
Abhijeet: to tum kyun mere saath jo kuch bhi hua tha uska jimmedar khudko mante ho?...
Daya looked towards his buddy with a jerk...Abhijeet was looking at him with straight eyes though tears were present in those pairs till now also...Daya said in trembling voice...
Daya: yaar boss ab us baat se iska kya lena dena?...
Abhijeet(in firm tone): yeh mere sawal ka jawab nahin hain Daya...aur lena dena hain is liye hi pucha hain...jawab do...
Daya: yaar is mein galti mera hi hain...yaar agar main tumhare pass sahi waqt pe pahuch pata to shayad tumhe woh halat mein dekhna nahin padta hume...
Abhijeet: agar main sahi waqt pe Rocky pe goli chalata to shayad tumhe woh halat mein dekhna nahin padta hume...
Daya(super angry): ABHIJEEETTT!...chup ho jao!...ek aur labz nahin...
Abhijeet: kyun gussa aa raha hain?...mujhe bhi aa raha hain...kyun ki tum ek bekar ka theory apne dimaag mein ghusake baithe ho...abey ae akal ke aandhe!...mera woh halat tumhare nahin mere nakaamyabi ke wajah se hua tha...main hi Siya ko nahin bacha paya...par is mein mera bhi galti nahin tha...woh log bohot sare the team mein aur main akela tha...mujhe ek baat samajh nahin aa raha hain ki is mein tum kahan se aa gaye?...haan maine tumhe yaad kiya tha...bulaya tha...aur tum aaye bhi the...
Daya: par sahi waqt pe to nahin...
Abhijeet looked at him which compelled Daya to be shut his mouth...he felt now the person standing in front of him was not his buddy...but the rough and tough angry young man senior inspector Abhijeet who never listened to even himself after determining something...he said in firm tone...
Abhijeet: tum sahi waqt pe hi aaye the Daya...agar tum log wahan usi waqt pe nahin pahuchke thoda late pahuchte...to tumhe andaaza haina kya ho sakta tha?...shayad hum dono yahan saath nahin hote...balki tum aaj mere mala charhi tasveer ke saamne baithke aansoo baha rahe hote...
Daya(shouted in extreme pain and anger): ABHIJEET!...CHUP HO JAO...BILKUL CHUP MAIN KEHTA HU...
Abhijeet: mere baat ab tak khatam nahin hua hain Daya...let me finish first...tum log agar wahan usi waqt pe na jate to shayad aaj main is duniya mein na hota...aur kitna sahi waqt pe aana chahte the tum?...aur rahi baat mujhe bachane ki...arey pagal itna bhi nahin samajhte ki aaj agar main sahi salamat tumhare saamne khada hu to uske piche tumhara hi to mehnat hain...ek patient to medicines,operations ya treatments se nahin balki apni will powers se thik hote hain...tumne mujhe wahin cheez diye the...will power...arey main woh major operation ya itni dino se chal raha woh treatments se thik nahin hua hu...main to bas tere diye huye motivations ke wajah se thik hua hu...aur tumhe lagta hain ki...?
Daya broke into tears now...he began to sob bitterly...Abhijeet remained silent to give him time to expell all the pain and fear he bore in this long one month...Daya looked towards his face and said while sobbing badly...
Daya: I am sorry boss...I am really sorry...mujhe pata nahin kya ho gaya tha tab...mujhe lagne laga tha ki tum mujhse nafrat karne lage ho...isliye main tumse door jane ka socha...please mujhe maaf kar do...
Abhijeet(shocked): na...nafrat?...
Daya(still in sob): haan Abhi...mujhe bohot dar lagne laga tha...ki main tumhare aankho mein khud ke liye nafrat nahin dekh sakta isliye yeh faisla liya tha...
Abhijeet(still in shock): pandrah saal...pandrah saal ek saath rehne ke baad yeh jana hain tumne mujhe Daya ki main tumse nafrat kar sakta hu?...itna galat samjha tumne mujhe?...itna?...how could you do this yaar?...
Daya folded his palms before him and said...
Daya: main aisa sochna nahin chahta boss par us raat woh bura khwaab dekhne ke baad...yaar main khudko sambhal nahin paya...main bohot dar gaya tha...na jane kya kya soch raha tha...
Abhijeet: bura khwaab?...kya dekha tha?
Daya(scared): main nahin bata sakta boss...nahin...kabhi nahin...
He closed his eyes remembering that dark nightmare he had had that night...Abhijeet grabbed him from shoulder and said in firm tone...
Abhijeet: maine pucha hain kuch tumse Daya...kya dekha tha us khwaab mein?...
Daya(in scare): tum...tumhare ma...maut...saans...saans ruk jane ke wajah se...pata hain tumhe main usi moment tumhare doctor ko phone kiya aur pucha ki tumhe saans to aa raha haina?...uske baad har din har paal mujhe yeh dar satata raha ki tum saans to le pa rahe ho na...tumhi batao iske baad bhi main na daru?...
Abhijeet silently patted his shoulder and said in soft cute tone...
Abhijeet: itna jaldi tujhe chodke nahin jane wala hu bhai...abhi bohot kaam baki hain...(naughtily)...tere poto ko kahani bhi to sunana hain...unke saath khelna hain...khilana hain...
Daya lightly slapped his head and said in teasing tone...
Daya: kya baat hain Abhi!...bohot bada list banake rakhe ho lagta hain...tumhare potiyo ko zimmedari to lagta hain mujhe hi lena padega...kyun ki mere poto ko to tumhi sambhaloge...haina?...
Abhijeet: wah!...wah!...mere ghar mein potiya yani ki ladkiya aayegi...ladki matlab lakshmi...mera to kismat hi chamak jayega...
Daya(naughtily): aur janab police commissioner ban jaye...haina?
Abhijeet was about to say something when duo heard the sound of a car...the car was emtering through the gate...Abhijeet went to the window,peeped outside and startled...Daya noticed it...came beside him and asked in curiosity...
Daya: kya hua boss?...itna chauk kyun gaye?...
Abhijeet(in scare): arey yaar...Rawan aa gaye yahan...
Daya(astronished): to aane do na yaar...itna dar kyun rahe ho?...
Abhijeet lowered his head in fear,tension and guilt...Daya noticed it and asked...
Daya: kya baat hain Abhijeet?...kahin tum phirse hospital se bhag to nahin aaye na?...(seeing his scared face)...bohot achcha!...ane do unhe...
Abhijeet: kise?...
Daya(super angry): aur kaun?...tumhare favourite ACP sir urf Rawaan...aane do unhe...aaj unhi se tumhare pitayi karwaunga...phir tumhare kaan pakadke hospital le jayenge woh...wahin tumhare sahi saza hoga...tab tumhare akal thikane aayega...
Abhijeet: yaar Daya main tere aage haath jod raha hu...
Daya: mujhe to nahin dikh raha hain...
Abhijeet helplessly folded his hands in front of his naughty brother...and said in pleading tone...
Abhijeet: yaar...please aaj mujhe us raawan se bachale...yaar wada karta hu ki phir kabhi hospital se bhagne wali harkat nahin karunga...promise yaar...pakka promise...
Daya looked at him with fixed stare for a moment...he held his folded palms and separated them...he said in warm friendly manner...
Daya: jao maaf kiya...ek kaam karo tum kahin chup jao...yahan main inko sambhalta hu...jaldi karo...
ACP Pradyuman entered Abhijeet's mother's house and saw Daya was sitting on bed...he put his hand on his shoulder and asked in soft tone...
Pradyuman: Daya kya baat hain beta?...tum achanak lapata kyun ho gaye the?...aur yahan kyun baithe ho?...
Daya(stammered): na...nahin...mujhe bas Abhijeet ke theek hone ki khabar maaji ko dena tha...main to wahin dene aaya tha...
All of a sudden a sound of sneeze echoed in air...Pradyuman was shocked to hear that...Daya bit his tongue but then made false sound of sneeze himself and said...
Daya: der raat tak beach pe baithne ka nateeja...achcha khasa zukham ho gaya hain...aanchoo...
ACP Pradyuman raised his left eye brow and remained starring at Daya...he then said in soft tone...
Pradyuman: khada ho jao beta...
Daya(astronished): kh...khada ho jaun?...kyun?...
Pradyuman(in same tone): ho jao na beta...aaj itne din baad tumhe khush dekh raha hu...ek baar thik se sar se paon tak dekhne to do...khada ho jao...
Daya was not convinced but he could not deny the fatherly figure...he stood up...the sharp minded ACP grabbed him by his arm and pulled his younger son aside...
He then bent and peeped under the bed...he forwarded his hand and brought out Abhijeet from under the bed...grabbing his ear tightly...Daya remained starring at them with his mouth wide open...ACP twisted Abhijeet's ear a bit and said in angry tone...
Pradyuman: ab batao...bed ke niche chupke kya ho raha tha?...
Abhijeet: aah!...sir kaan chodiye dard ho raha hain...chodiye sir please...
Pradyuman: nahinnnn...pehle batao bed ke niche kyun chupe huye the tum?...aur tum yahan kar kya rahe ho?...tumhe to main hospital mein sulake aaya tha...
Daya grabbed the oppurtunity and spoke up...
Daya: jee sir...aur dekhiye janab bhagke mere pass aa gaye...aur aapko aate dekh ke bed ke niche chup gaya...haan sir aur zyada modiye uska kaan...
In reply Pradyuman grabbed his ear too in another hand and said...
Pradyuman: aur tumne use chupne ka jagah dikha diya...haina?...
Abhijeet(like a child): haan sir...dekhiye na kaha ki boss tum bed ke niche chup jao...aur main uske upar baith jata hu...Rawan tumhe dekh nahin payega...
Saying that he realised what he said and bit his tongue...Daya patted his head and Pradyuman looked at them with fiery eyes...he said...
Pradyuman: Raawan?...haan?...
He twisted their ears a little more...duo flinched in pain...Pradyuman said...
Pradyuman: waise Abhijeet tum hospital se bhaage kaise?...maine to dekha ki tum so rahe the...doctors se kehke tumhe sedatives bhi dilwaye the...tumhe to itni jaldi hosh nahin aana chahiye tha na?...phir tum yahan kaise aaye?...
Abhijeet: woh kya haina sir...aapne woh doctor ko shayad pehchana nahin...woh wahin doctor hain jise maine pichle saal madad kiya tha jab woh scandal mein phansa tha...koi uske chote bhai ko kidnap karke use majboor kar raha tha confess karne ke liye...tab maine use bachaya tha...aaj jab woh mujhe sedatives dene aaya tha tab maine use emotionally blackmail kiya...usko uske bhai ka kasam deke...aur use majboor kiya ki woh mujhe sedatives na de...aap jab cabin mein jhanke the tab main sirf natak kar raha tha sone ka...aapke jane ke baad main usi doctor ka mobile se beach mein nariyel pani bechnewale apne ek informer ko call kiya jisne confirm kiya ki Daya aaj beach mein baithke khud ke saath paglo jaisa baat kar raha tha...
Daya felt embarassed remembering his act of talking with his second entity sitting in beach...Pradyuman looked at him sarastically...Abhijeet continued...
Abhijeet: haan to uske baad maine guess lagwaya ki yeh ho kahan sakta hain...sochke dekha ki yeh tab jis mental state hain yahan aane ka chance hi zyada hain...to apne ek informer ko call karke ek set naya kapda mangwa liya aur pehenke bhag aaya...
Daya: us doctor ki phone ka balance tumne hi khatam kar diya...wah! Wah!...wah! Wah!...
Abhijeet: haan sony entertainment television ka channel!...
Pradyuman grabbed their ears more tightly and said...
Pradyuman: sony wah nahin sony yay!...
Duo simultaneously shouted suddenly...
Duo: arey Salunkhe sahab aaiye aaiye...
Pradyuman instantly left their ears and turned towards the main door...duo looked at each other in shock as they had not planned this before...but after realising that their ears were free now...both shouted simultaneously...
Daya: Abhijeet bhago...
Abhijeet: Daya bhago...
Seven Hours Later
Abhijeet opened his eyes slowly after having a long sleep...he was lying on the same bed in the same cabin of City Hospital...he turned his head a bit and discovered Daya standing beside the open window with his gaze fixed outside the window...he called him softly...
Abhijeet: Daya...idhar aa...
Daya got back his senses with it and came to his lying buddy...he was looking too much silent and guilty...Abhijeet noticed it and asked in loving tone...
Abhijeet: Daya kya hua yaar?...phir se chup kyun ho gaya tu?...hum to baat kar chuke haina yaar...phir?...
Daya(in low tone): I am sorry Abhi...
Abhijeet(astronished): yeh lo!...sorry kyun?...kya kiya hain tumne?...kuch bhi to nahin...phir?
Daya(with hesitation): woh...tab...main...yaar mujhe tumhe utna zor se thappad nahin marna chahiye tha...woh bhi itne baar...par kya karta main bhi?...utna gussa jo dila diye the tum...sorry yaar...mujhe maaf kar do...
Abhijeet bursted out in a whole hearted laugh...Daya was shocked...he just managed to utter...
Daya: tumhe hansi aa raha hain boss?...
Abhijeet was trying his best to control his laugh...finally he suceeded and said...
Abhijeet: warna kya aansoo ayega?...(again he began to laugh)...yaar Daya tum bhi na...kya kya sochte rehte ho?...
Daya(in anger): daant andar lo warna sare ke sare toot jayenge aaj...
Abhijeet: yaar tu pagal hain kya?...maine bhi to tujhe ek thappad lagaya na?...phir?...Daya jab hum kisi apne ko galti karte huye dekhte ya sunte to humara dimaag thik nahin rehta...hum turant use saza dekar sudharna chahte...yahin to hain ek sachcha risha...jis mein haq jataya ja sakta hain...tumne bhi wahin kiya...yakeen mano mujhe bilkul bura nahin laga...par haan dard hua tha...par dosti mein itna to chalta hi hain...haina?...
Daya nodded and hugged his buddy tightly with a pure happy smile on his face...the shining full moon outside was the only witness of the pure reunion of this loving souls...
THE END...
kabhi kabhi rishton ko khone ka dar hume usi rishtein se dur bhagate hain...par jab koi dil se juda rishta saath hota hain to kisi ko bhi itna power nahin hota ki woh use nuksan pahuchaye...
