Angelbetu so much overwhelmed with the lovely response...really feeling happy and active seeing so many number of khats in my letter box...

Thank u to all of you...so milte hain chapter k end mein...

Kuch common querries k answer I want to give only here...

Kuch readers ko Daya sir ka achanak se orphan hone ki baat ko btana weird laga..but guys you wil surely get a strong support of this statement in future of the story...

Orphanage ko laana meri story ki ek important rquirement hai...plus its not MAMTA FOUNDATION se mera matlab hai ki koi aur orphanage ki baat ho rahi hai...because I do not want to bring any memory of MAMTA FOUNDATION in front of my readers...theek...

Now straightaway toward the chapter...Enjoy :)


Chapter-3


Abhijeet was dumbstucked listening the words of Daya who said them in such a simple manner which directly hit Abhijeet's heart...he with difficulty gulped down the sip which was stopped in his throat till then...

After a short silence Abhijeet initiated who was feeling so much relief in his throat after wetting it with water...and was feeling an unknown feeling toward Daya...he was curious about this man...how he bear all his anger being an stranger...how easily he confronts his bad phase of life...and main Who is he? Yes he knew his name but he want to know HIM...

He forwarded his hand toward him...Hii this is Abhijeet

Daya grabbing the hand...Daya tumhe to pata hi hai...

Abhijeet nodded and says: sorry wo thoda jada bol gaya mai...

Daya chuckled and silence prevails among them...

Abhijeet initiated:Tum...Tum itni raat gaye yahan kya kr rahe ho...tum bhi aas paas hi rehte ho kya...

Daya smiled...nahi bus yunhi...yunhi aa gya ta yahan...Tumara kaam ho gaya na...tumhe urgent tha na meri wajh se late hue tum kesa...mai buht sharminda...

Abhijeet lying: nahin nahin its fine...(released a painful sigh)ho gaya tha mera kaam

Daya gave him a meaning full look on which Abhijeet stammered a bit...and for diverting his mind he asked...tumhara bukhaar theek hai ab...

Daya again smiled haan theek hai...tumhara buht buht shukriya...Mere Daddy buht khush hote tumse mil kr...tumne meri buht madad ki naa...

Now Abhijeet was hell confused with this man...minutes before he told that he use to live in orphanage and now he is telling about his father...may be he misunderstood his first sentence...he looked at him with confusion and said...pr tum to I mean tum to...

Anaath hun...said Daya looking in the vaccum

Abhijeet nodding his head in no...and said pr tumne kaha Daddy...

Daddy ne adopt Kia tha mujhe...

Abhijeet was not understanding what to say or how to react in the whole so he let it be and asked a most important query which was nudging him since morning...

He cleared his throat...and said in hesitation...ek baat poochun...

Daya nodded

Abhijeet: tum ro kyu rhe the subh...I mean...

Daya started looking in his front in silence...

A small tear escaped from his left eye which he instantly wiped off and said in smile to Abhijeet who too was sitting near him looking at his front...tumhe nhi lagta (crossing his arms on his chest)thand buht bd gyi h...

Abhijeet: haan ye to hai...

Daya: chalo fir tum ghar jao...

Abhijeet asking: tumhara ghr kahan h...yahin paas h kya...

Daya: uhun yahan se agle bus stop se fir auto lena hoga...fir kahin jakr ghr aayega...tum nikl I will manage

Tum Mayur Vihar(imaginary name) me rehte ho...wo to buht paush ilaaka h...rent pr ho...Abhijeet said thinking about his good pay as he was able to afford a rented house in one of the most paush places of Mumbai...

Daya: nahi wo mera apna ghr hai...(pause) actually Daddy ka h...

Abhijeet murmurs: lagta h baap bete me bnti nahi h...

Abhijeet looked at his watch while seeing Daya still sitting their only... Don't know why but his heart said something to him which came out in shape of words from his throat...

Daya...

Hmmmmm...

Abhijeet:ummmm tum itni raat kahan jaoge... Mera ghr paas hi h...tum chaho to...

He said all in one go with extreme hesitation but he become shocked seeing some starts sparkling in eyes of Daya in shape of tears which he resists in his eyes only... He never know what such thing he said to that person which brought tears in his eyes all of a sudden...

Abhijeet got his answer and both moved toward a common direction where Daya was following Abhijeet...his level of happiness was twinkling in the night lamps from his eyes while Abhijeet was just feeling weird/surprise/awkward and what not?

Abhijeet unlocked the door which opened with sound showing the degraded quality of the door and it's joints... It must be very old... The house was simple with less furniture and more newspaper cuttings as the house was consisting only one room which was a big hall... So all the elements of the house were visible from its first look... Both came inside either Daya looking keenly to each and every thing and corner of the room...

Abhijeet was now tensed on his decision seeing Days's keen observation... His mind was working on a fast pace where he was thinking as koi chor lutera to nhi h na ye... (looking at Daya who was now in kitchen)lagta to nahi hai... Kese free Ho rha h...kitchen me b check in kr Lia (angry on himself) maana subh bukhar Ta... Pr abi to accha khasa theek h... Aaj kal to log naye naye petre apnate hn...(worriedly) Mai bhi na...ek ajnabee aadmi ko ghr utha laaya...(in anger he uttered)...IDIOT...

Kuch kaha kya tumne...Daya asked while coming out from kitchen

N.. Nahiii... Nahi to...stammered Abhijeet

Hmmmmnn... To...Tum yahan rehte Ho...

Abhijeet: haan jagh thodi choti h... (Taking off his bag from his shoulders)itni kamayi me to yhi milta hai...

Daya happily while looking outside from the window of the room: nahi buht sundr jagh h Abhijeet...buht sukoon hai yahan...dekho na kitni greenery h...aas pass kitni shanti hai... Mere ghr me to(light laugh) poora din robot show hota hai...

Abhijeet who till now forgot about his whole assumption about Daya being a "BAD MAN" asked in confusion: Robot show...

Daya laughed seeing Abhi's face haan haan...hahahaha...are hr kaam k lie koi na koi hai peeche...Daddy to mujhe chappal b khud nhi pehn ne dete te...aisa lgta ta ek kaalkothri se nikl kr doosre kaidkhane me aa gya hu...

Abhijeet: sitting in front of Daya tum khush nhi te kya apne adoption se...

Daya instantly: Nahin...

Abhijeet frowned: to kya zindagi bhr orphanage me rehna manzoor tha tumhe...

Daya said dreamily with sad face: shyad haan...chodo ye baatein pr haan(clearing) muje Daddy or Maa ne buht buht mohabbat di...zindagi me kabi itni mohabbat...(stopped tearily) pr ab to...he stopped and again made his way toward the window looking in the vaccum...

Abhijeet keep looking at his back...jerked his head and headed toward his bed murmurs while sitting on it...pata nahi chlta iske mood ka to...kabi bina baat k husta hai kbi bolte bolte ro deta hai...or kabi kho jata h...(pause) FAREEK lagta hai...and than smiled on his own thought as his mind sparked with a past memory where he and his long lost friend were enjoying some quality time in his school days...

Rahul wo dekh(scary) kitna daraona h na... maine kl dekha ta ise ghr k pass bhi...saamne betha the... (amazingly) kabhi baal bnata hai...kabhi apne hath se bigad deta hai...kabhi husta hai...kabhi jor jor se rone lagta hai...

Rahul:are Abhi (munching chocolate side by side so after gulping down it said innocently) FAREEK hoga

Abhijeet too in the same innocent voice:Fareek kya hota hai

Are tujhe to kuch nhi pata... wo jo jholi lekr chlta hai...lambe Baal wala... (scaring him) jo bacchon ko utha le jata hai...

Abhi smiled remembering those sweet memories as later his mother told to both buddies that it's FAKEER not FAREEK... and the role of FAKEER in this world...both buddies till their college understand well about this difference but still they use to use that FAREEK as a code for saying mad to any senior /teacher even friends who always gave them confused faces followed by loud laughter of both the buddies sharing a hi-five...

He look toward other side where Daya was standing and pat himself in his mind for not comforting his strange guest...

Daya tum so jao ab raat kaafi ho gyi h...

Daya nodded and asked in hesitation: wo tumhare paas koi mat...Mera matlab koi bichona h...(ashamed) sorry muje is waqt tumhare sath nhi aana chiye ta...aise hi buht takleef di h subh se maine tumhe...

Abhijeet really praised his etiquttes in heart and said in a jolly tone...aisi koi baat nhi h Daya...aur(stressing) humare yahan mehmano ko jameen pr nhi sulate...(pause)sach kahun to jameen pe muje b neend nahi aati...aisa krte hn...mere double bed pr so jate hn...khaasa bada hai...tumhe takleef nhi hogi...

Daya looked at him in small smile while Abhijeet while telling few more things handed over a blanket to him...

He find out a pillow too in his only *baksa* and asked in mid...tumhara bukhar kesa h ab...

Daya carelessly: are bukhar to aata jaata rehta h...I m fine BOSS...

Abhijeet looked at him instantly who till then occupied his side of bed and now setting his blanket...

Abhijeet pulled out the pillow and he too sat on other side of bed...

Daya looked at him and sat again in embarassment: sorry buht takleef de rha hu tumhein...

Abhijeet in lying posture change his side in smile and says Good Night Daya...

Daya smiled on this gentleman who is helping or say bearing him since morning although sometime showing his irritation too but still...he realised perfectly that this man is pure hearted...

Abhijeet woke up with the sunlight which disturbed his calm sleep... he turned to other side but found Daya nowhere...weird come in his mind...

He sat in a minute with jerk... he saw the main door was opened...his heart misses a beat...he ran faster and checked his wallet...feeling everything alright he checked his wardrobe and lastly move toward his only treasure,his baksa,the tin medium sized box having almost every precious thing of him...from a small cap to his three piece suit...from a coin potli to a tin piggy bank... these are only his savings till now which he was doing daily after cutting few of his expenses...killing his wants to save something in his daily routined life...

He was about to open it when felt someone standing at door...he turned himself and saw Daya standing their with shattered face...

Abhijeet left his bag which he was checking and about to say something but Daya started before him... tumhara makaan Malik aaya ta... buht shor kr rha ta...tum so rahe the to Maine socha alg le jaa kr baat krun...(with sad smile) don't worry kuch nhi lia Maine...bus thoda paani liya ta wo dawa...

M sorry Daya...I m really sorry... wo humari mentality hi aisi hoti hai... placing hand on his shoulder... tum smjh rhe ho na...

Daya smiled and chuckled with chalo chodo tum jldi se bahar chalo...wo pagal aadmi poora mohalla sr pr utha lega...(pulling him)chalo chalo...

Abhijeet in tension moved out where he can clearly hear the shouting of his landlord which shoot to its peak after seeing Abhijeet in front of him...

Aiye Abhijeet jee Aiye...(to others) dekh lijiye inhe dhyan se ye Sahab nihayati besharm aur beimaan aadmi hn ye...

MISHRA JEE... said Abhijeet in great anger while Daya just played the role of silent spectator...

Mishra jee not paying attention to him says bhai do mahine se kiraya nhi dia...(telling to all) bole te Mishra Jee 10 tarique ko aaiyega...apko aapke peise mil jayenge...lo mai hazir ho gya peise lene k lie...pr yahn to kuch aur hi maaya chl rhi h...na jaane kise na kise bula bula ke mere ghr me panah di jaa ri h...(loudly signalling to Daya) kon hai ye...

Abhijeet turned and looked at Daya who was looking embarassed standing in head down mode...

Abhijeet bite his lips and said ye...ye bhai h mera...(Daya jerked)ab achanak kl raat ko aa gya...pehli baar Mumbai aaya h Mishra jee...(taunt)aap smjh hi skte hain...

Mishra jee rudely: theek h theek h pr aaj k aaj iska bandobast kr do bhai maine tumhe makaan dia h poore khandan ko nahin...(coming to point) khair lao peise nikalo do mahine ka paanch hazaar paanch sau rupay(5500/-)...

Abhijeet gulping down: Mishra jee itne to nahi...

Mai aaj poore peise lie bina jaunga nahi yahan se Abhijeet jee...ye aap smjh lo abi...(to others standing around)do mahine se muje kutta bna dia h sahab inhone...idhr se udhr dum hilate fir rha hu...inke peeche...wo to inki mataji ki wajh se chup hu...(dramatically) humare rishtedaar ki jaan ne walin hn...badi bhali aurat hain...unke kehne pr hi ye makaan humne inhe dia hai...(to Abhijeet in loud tone)ab kitne din tk ye bojh hum apne sr pr lekr firen...

Abhijeet: Mishra jee hum baith kr baat krte hain...aap tamasha kyu khada kr rhe hn...(holding his hand with a light pull)...chliye aap...(stopped in mid with a grip on his shoulder)...

Abhijeet left Mishra jee hand and turned...Daya stuffed something in his hand which shocked Abhijeet...
