~ ~ CHAPTER 1 ~ ~

A pair of scared feet stepped inside . Some boys turned their necks and scan the new comer from head to toe, nervous the later . A boy with good height and shining eyes curls his lip ( teasingly ) Are you a new comer ?

Figure ( engulfing the scare ) Tilted his neck in yes….

Boy ( with a wink ) But there is no vacancy for new comer….

The group of 4-5 boys start laughing like anything seeing the red and pale face of the later .

Figure ( more scared ) But, I have a I'D card ( pointing towards the card, hanging in his neck )

Boy ( trying to act shockingly ) OH,I see…! ( snatch the card from the later neck and tore it into pieces ) Now you don't have any card ( smirk and shrugged his shoulders )

The big expressive eyes of the later filled with water . He look at the boy with such watery innocence that boy felts pinches in his heart .

Boy ( softly ) Don't cry baby, it's just a prank ( forwarding the later I'd card ) Take it ( hit the later head ) I did not tear it, They were just pieces of paper . If you use brain just a little, you can able to figure out between paper and I'D card . An embraced grin appears on the later face .

Boy ( forwarding his hand ) Hi,I am Abhijeet ( bowed a little ) The second in command of the Class III-B

Figure shakes hand with Abhijeet ( Hesitantly ) I am Daya

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Voice ( tears are swimming in his eyes ) Why you destroyed my drawing ?

2nd Voice ( hiding his smile ) We are friends ( pause ) Right….

1st Voice ( weeping ) Tilted his head in yes ( sobbing, zoon…zoon ) Right…

2ND Voice ( mischievously ) So why did you complete your drawing, when I am not done with it ?

Later opens his mouth in full awe . 2ND Voice pauses ( pat on his own head ) Bozo, Shut your mouth..! ( dramatically ) What teacher teach us yesterday ?

1ST Voice ( repeats teacher's word ) Friend in need is a friend in deed

2nd Voice buddhu phir mere sy pehle kun ki drawing complete ( his eyes are glowing with naughtiness )

1st Voice ( innocently ) Phir ab main kaa kalun Abhi

Abhijeet ( mischievously ) Hmmm ( did acting of thinking ) He speaks wisely : " you should help me in completing my drawing like a good friend "( wink )

2nd Voice ( grins badly ) Okay..!

00000000000000000000000000000000

Voice : Maam…! Why don't you promote Abhijeet in next class ? ( briefing ) You know he is talented ( calmly ) and it is the best solution ( explaining ) It makes Abhijeet busy as well as it creates distances between them ( evilly ) You know distances tore the relations ( voice eyes are shining with lust )

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Figure continuously tugging the others shirt . The other entity in full busy mode completely indulge himself in completing his journal . At the 4 time tug, He ( irritated) What happened ?

Figure ( ponting towards the tree ) Abhi….There is an injured bird dangling in the branches

Abhijeet ( with irritation ) So

Daya ( cutely ) Please let we help her

Abhijeet ( irritated ) I am not interested

Daya ( puppy eyes ) Please

Abhijeet ( sighed ) fine

Daya ( excitedly ) Abhi….You climb up the tree and I will give you my support morally and physically ( wink )

Abhijeet ( angrily ) gritted his teeth ( murmurs ) I, already knew this small elf

Abhijeet after standing on Daya's shoulder, gripped the tree and tries to climb up slowly as the nest of bird is at good height . Daya from downwards ( continuously shouting ) Yes Abhi,you can do it…Come On..! After reaching the nest level ( softly ) He takes the small injured bird in his hand embrace, who is chirping his sweet songs followed by Daya's (enthusiastic voice ) Yayyyyy…!

Suddenly crack voice divert their attention and the branch which Abhijeet is holding is hurtle and They both are on ground with Abhijeet on top of Daya . He hurriedly stands up ( sacredly ) Abhi…Sparrow . Abhijeet try to find that bird in sky but shocked seeing the frozen eyes of his friend . He too looks in the direction in which Daya is looking and feel pangs in his heart…The scattered blood….and the small died pakhshi….The sight is too horror that it can haunt any innocent heart…!

With loud thud voices school management staff also gathered there and gives a trails of scold either taking Daya inside who is still looking in trauma .

00000000000000000000000000000000000

He enters inside the home and a teasing voice welcomes him " You know, My Son; Today is a Big day for me "

Abhijeet ( with sorry in his eyes ) Looks at his father, not meeting his gaze with him .

Abhijeet's Dad ( teasingly ) Wow….! Another shock in the same day ( shockingly ) My son who talks with everyone eye to eye are not even facing his father today ( taunt ) Great going My Son…!

Abhijeet ( low tone ) Dad ( pause ) We are just helping the bird ( stops )

Abhijeet's Dad : ( glaring his Son ) We ? You mean ( pause ) You and Daya

Abhijeet ( sacredly ) tilted hid head in yes

Abhijeet's Dad ( rashly ) How many times I told you my son keep him at an arm's length

Abhijeet ( protest ) Dad he is my best friend

Abhijeet's Dad : Oh…! What a bullshit ( rashly ) Your friends does not give you grades( softly ) They just waste your time and makes you ashamed in front of everyone like today ( puts his hand on his Son's shoulder ) My Son you are in a race and I want you to win this race ( determined tone )

Abhijeet ( sighed ) Dad I always makes you proud

Abhijeet's Dad ( rashly ) But today you make me ashamed in front of your principle ( sad tone ) Your principle who always praises about My Son, are complaining about you today ( rashly ) according to your teachers your progress is degrading day by day ( fiercely ) you starts bunking class ( questioning ) Not you..?

Abhijeet ( low tone ) Yes I am ( head down )

Abhijeet's Dad ( coldly ) Go to your room and packed your necessary things ( pause ) Tonight, You are going Alaska for your studies ( calmly )

Abhijeet opens his mouth to protest but cut with

Abhijeet's Dad ( in adamant tone ) I don't want any arguments My Son ( lovingly ) Arnav will receive you at Alaska ( humbly ) You have a good bonding with him

Abhijeet succumbed ( low tone ) Hmmm

Abhijeet's Dad : now go ( He orders softly )

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

He is sitting on his seat with misty eyes trying to focus his mind at some other points . But his heart is longing with pain .To study at Alaska is his one of most awaiting dream but such faceting of his dreams, He never thought even in the far corner of his mind . He leans back against his seat and closes his eyes .

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He looks at plane which is going at higher altitude ( whispers ) Dad is Sorry, My Son, for being rude ( rubs the corner of his eyes ) Dad will miss you, be back soon….!

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Voice ( with all colors of joy ) Wow…! ( exclaims ) paints ( his eyes are shining with utmost charm )

2nd Voice ( shockingly ) seeing colors, Why are you this much happy ?

1st Voice ( in desolate tone ) I love colors Abhi ( with a hollow in eyes ) spreads his hand on paint box ( cracked whisper ) I never anticipate any opportunity to play with them

2nd Voice becomes bewildered after feeling the hollow in his friend's voice

1st Voice ( with crimson red grin ) takes some paint in his hand ( naughtily ) Abhi see that ( pointing towards opposite direction )

Abhijeet looks towards the pointed direction . Daya naughtily rubs all the color on Abhi's nose( laughs merrily ) Due to shock Abhijeet's mouth opens a bit ( he pat on his own head ) Bozo, aj holi ni hai . It has 2 months to come . Daya ( shrugs his shoulders ) So what ( sadly ) I never played Holi (smiles again ) So I enjoyed like this ( laughing like anything ) Abhi your nose, Haaahaaahaaa…!

Abhijeet ( curiously ) Why you never played holi ?

Daya ( sacredly ) Promise me ( forwards his hand ) You never leaves me after listening this

Abhijeet ( smilingy ) Holds the forwarded hand of his best friend ( whispers ) Promise…!

Daya ( innocently ) I don't have my parents

Abhijeet ( more curious ) why….?

Daya ( with innocence speaks ) People says " main paap hon na " so my parents left me in a ( cracked tone ) garbage ( asking ) Abhi ( innocently ) What is Paap ? I asked the same question to my orphanage teacher ( sadly ) But they never answered

Abhijeet ( lost tone ) don't know Daya

00000000000000000000000000000000000

He jerked out of his thoughts as the plane landed on Airport ( whispers ) I am sorry Daya ( in heart ) At that time I really don't know the meaning of " Paap" ( pause ) but I afterwards know very well it's meaning ( sadly ) But I will never tell you ( moistly ) How can I tell you…I don't have that much courage ( smiles injuredly ) to see your glowing eyes dim…!

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

Voice ( worriedly ) What happened to Daya , Doctor .

Doctor ( calmly) The child is in trauma ( try to guess ) something related to his past repeats in front of him again, that's why he is jerking continuously ( hopeful tone ) Don't worry…I give him an injection, Now he is sleeping peacefully .

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Arnav warmly welcomes him but he cannot manage even a smile . Arnav ignores Abhijeet's irritation and inquired about his flight ( asking ) casual questions . Abhijeet satisfies him by his fake smile and one liner answers ( speaks in hoarse voice ) Arnav ,Where is the car ? ( rashly ) I am tired buddy . Arnav shrug his shoulders and take him to the parking . The remaining distance from Airport to Abhijeet's Uncle house covered in an uncanny silence .

0000000000000000000000000000000000000

Voice ( harshly ) Ni khana tu mat kha ( angrily ) Tu kia kahin ka rajkumar hai kia ( slaps the child ) jo teri minnat karun ( try to add sweetness ) k aja raaj dulary kha lay ( grumble ) huhh…mat kha para rahy aisehi…( march outside with food tray ) Sir ko kia pata chalay ga k unky laad sahab ny khana khaya ya ni ( teasingly ) ye tu gonga hogaya hai na ( kick the child in rash ) completely out of the room…..

Not a single Ah escapes from his mouth, neither from hard slap nor from a rash kick on his empty stomach…!

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As the car comes to a halt . Abhijeet looks outside, its dark . He tries to think, What time is it in India ? But his vacuous mind failed . Abhijeet climb out of the car on Arnav's voice . Arnav ( naughtily ) Abhijeet are you fall asleep ? ( smirk ) Don't tell me I have to scoop you upstairs . Abhijeet ( replied ) I am awake Arnav ( try to smiles ) You don't need to bother yourself for me .He take out his luggage while replying .

An over whelming voice ( in loving tone ) Abhijeet, Oh Gosh…! It has been a long time, I have seen you .

Abhijeet ( pouts ) He hugs his Uncle while planted a complain . Why don't you come India ?

Uncle ( pecked Abhijeet's forehead ) Awe, So My Baccha is angry with me .

Abhijeet tilted his neck in yes . Sir…! The supper is ready to serve . The servant interrupted them . Abhijeet's empty stomach growls as he did not eat anything during flight . Uncle ( sweetly ) Okay Bacchas…! Go and get fresh ( smiles ) I will be waiting for you at dinner table . Both bacchas obediently followed the orders of their elder and excuse from the scene .

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Voice ( sweetly ) Daya baita ( enters inside the room ) ye main kia sun raha hoon ( try to add tinge of anger in his voice ) apnay kal sy kuch ni bola hai ( sits beside him ) Ye kia mera Daya itna kamzoor hai ( sadly ) K aik bury manzar sy hee himmat haar baitha ( take him in his side embrace ) Ni Daya baita…tumhain agay barhna hai….Abhi tu bht saari buri cheezain tumhari raah main aingi ( determined tone ) par tumhain agay barhty rehna hai ( dreaming tone ) Bht aagay jana hai ( meaningful tone ) saari mushkiloon ko paar karky bht mazboot ban na hai ( cracked tone ) Tumhain apnay ap ko uthana hai gir kar ( rashly ) giray ni rehna hai...agar giray rahogy tu ye duniya tumhain roond kar bht agay barh jaigi….!

Daya's eyes reacted…His lips curls and he whispers " Sir paap ka matlab Sin hota hai na "

The figure becomes stunned on the elucidation of word " Paap " at this fragile stage of a small elf . But he did not deny the query instead tilted his neck in Yes . Daya ( in determined tone ) Sir, I will my make sinful entity into my identity…!

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Abhijeet let out a wail, He is holding for quite long, after stamping the washroom door behind him . As he finds solace, He splashes water on his face, his heart is pounding . He looks at the mirror before him, In extreme anguish ( he mumbles in adamant tone ) If this is a race Dad, I will definitely won it ( chewed ) by hook or crook ( punches the wall ) But I promise, you will lose me in the race ( teasingly smiles ) The race begins DAD….!

~ ~ CHAPTER 2 ~ ~

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Figure is wandering solitary on the school ground . His POV ( thinking ) Abhi never takes leave from school except emergencies ( worried ) I hope he is fine ( praying ) God, Please keep him safe…! Daya ( someone calls ) He turned and finds the principal there ( with respect ) He replied : " Yes maam "

Principal ( softly orders ) come with me…

Daya ( silently ) nodes and followed her in head down mode….

Principal ( enters inside her cabin and offers daya a seat ) Daya I have decided something…

Daya ( with scare ) looks at principal

Principal : Don't worry child ( smiles ) From now you are the captain of football team of our school

Daya ( shockingly ) Try to stabilize his emotion on this sudden news…

Principal : You are a good player Daya ( praising ) capable of captaincy so our sports society decide to make you our new captain of football team

Daya ( smiles ) It's an honor for me maam although feels butterflies in his stomach on this big responsibility

Principal : I hope you make us proud Mr . Captain ( Daya becomes crimson read on this call ) You may Go now

Daya : tilted his neck in yes ( with hesitation speaks, as he wants to share this news with his best friend first ) maam, Why Abhijeet is on leave ?,He ask

Principal ( sighed ) Daya ( pauses ) Abhijeet left this school since 5 days ago

Daya feels he is in vacuum….It's not anguish... he wants to neither shout nor cry….He is simply no where ( his feet turned towards door automatically ) Abhijeet left this school words keep echoing in his ears and they remain echoing like this forever…!

0000000000000000000000000000000000

Voice ( worriedly ) How are you, My son

Abhijeet ( smiles sarcastically ) I am on cloud nine dad

Abhijeet ( meaningfully ) Dad ,can you answer my one question

Abhijeet's Dad ( softly ) Yes ask baccha

Abhijeet ( moist tone ) Baki logon ki tarah ( pause ) Dad apnay bhi ussy paap samjh lia na…!

000000000000000000000000000000000000000

2 YEARS LATER :

Voice ( sweetly ) Abhijeet I have 2 football match tickets and you have to go with me

2nd Voice ( irritatedly ) I don't like football match ( rashly ) So please don't bother me Arnav

Arnav ( stubbornly ) You have to go yaar ( puppy eyes ) Please for me

Abhijeet ( irritated ) HUH ( shouting ) I said na Arnav ( rashly ) I don't want to go ( pushes Arnav out of the room and slammed the door on Arnav's poor nose )

Arnav ( shouts before door ) Abhi ( completes ) jeet…Daya ka match hai ( moistly ) Ab bhi ni chalogy kia….

Abhijeet ( moistly ) Haan ab bhi ni jaunga….kneel down besides door….

Arnav ( shouts ) evening 6…agar man ho tu tayar rehna ( dramatically ) Abhijeet zindagi baar baar chances ni daiti hai….kia pata Kal ho na ho ( smirk )

Abhijeet wraps his arm around his legs…..His eyes was streaming….Whole night he is howling at the moon….and when fall asleep in the same posture he don't knows….

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Voice ( friendlily ) Yaar ( He is doing un packing, when his hands stops abruptly ) Daya kal match hai hamara….hath paun thandy par rahy hain mere….He turned in rash and shouts loudly " ni hoon main kisi ka yaar " which grabs others attention too…..( pointing finger towards his roommate ) " Sirf captain hoon tum logon ka ( warning ) yaad rakhna " He in great anger marched outside…..

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Evening slips into dark shadows but he does not bother to move from his place . Arnav after so many horns and even beating his room door accepts his loose and goes out from there . He is sitting in front of the bright screen just to see his one glimpse . His heart longing for…..!

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

His eyes are fixed on the goal…..He looks at his surroundings 4 players….His mind did some calculations and hit the football….The ball piercing the air hit the goal….The stadium echoed with huge applauses of AKS students….Who are there to support their team….

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

A smile crept on his lips….His mind reminds him about their sweet conversation in past….

Daya ( breathing heavily ) Abhi aao na yaar yahan kun baithy ho….

Abhijeet ( denying ) ni yaar bht hogaya bus ab aur ni…( manage his breaths ) waisy bhi ye match tu hum harnay hee waly hain…unka score daikh aur hamara daikh….

Abhijeet ( teasingly ) ohh acha acha….Daya sahab jadugar bhi hain…( smirk ) tu jadugaar Maharaj apni koi kala tu dikhain is shisya ko….

Daya : Areey balak aisy kaisy dikhain kala…usky lia tu apko ( pointing towards the ground ) field main ana hoga na ( wink )

And after coming into the field...Daya goals 4 times simultaneously... And won that match ( whispers in Abhijeet's ear ) kun kaha tha na mainy( smirk ) Daya k pass jadoo hai ( lovingly ) Abhi ye football ground daikh rahy ho...main iski jaan hoon aur ye meri... Ye mjhy kabhi dhoka ni dai sakta... Iss ground ki mitti py hamesha Daya ki jeet hee likhi hai ( meaningful tone )

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He with lurge steps came out from the club and looks at him who is coming out from the stadium . He ( smirking ) Areey Oooo Bhai sun zara….! Daya stops abruptly but did not turn back….He ( in loud tone ) pehle hee fasly kuch kum hain kia….jo tu aur barha raha hai….He comes infront of him….( laughs like a mad ) Gussa hai….tu ye lai ( picks up the stone from the road and gave it to Daya )….lai ye aur mar mjhy….He ( sarcastically ) mjhy lagta hai tum hosh main ni ho….( angrily ) mere rassty sy hato mjhy jana hai…He ( pouts )...Oh Bhai sahab ko jana hai ( he breaks the beer bottle which is in his hand ) He gives him a space to go and speaks in low " Jana hain na tu ja….magar yaad rakhna agar mar gaya na main tu ye mat kehna k bataya ni tha ( meaningful tone ) He rashly grabs Abhijeet and shakes him vigorously . He ( in rash speaks ) koi kissi k janay sy ni marta Abhijeet….main bhi ni mara tha tumhary janay sy tu tum kaisy mar sakty ho haan…ye faisla tu tumhara tha na…..He left Abhijeet in rash and this time did not bother to hold the falling figure….Instead he moves on…! Abhijeet remains there sitting on a ground like a statue…..

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He is wandering on the lonely road . Kicking every stone coming in his way . His heart is shouting : " Why God ? Why ? His heart complaining...He is in great dilemma on this cruel game of destiny " When he forgets him... When he seals his anguish...God again revive his wound...Why ? His heart is longing for solace... But What can God do ? If the one who wounded him...is his medicine too...!

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

And Life goes on like a road which has no end...! Now the survivors of the aftershock compromises with their agony... And concentrate on that race which is the bone of contention...Which makes wall between them and their souls too...!

AFTER 3 YEARS LATER :

Today is really a big Day for the students of BDS Finally, Today they got their degrees... Passed with flying colours... They are shouting... Hooting...laughing and merrily dancing... Throwing their caps in air... Wearing that specific black gown, they are looking so much happy like a child who got his favorite ice cream as a reward .

But HIS eyes are searching for one man . Finally his eyes caught a glimpse of him . He is sitting away from this halla gulla . In a quite lonely section of college under a neem tree . He with fast steps move towards him and pat his back loudly .He ( smilingly ) " Irshad hai...Ahem...Ahem "( he cleared his throat ) . Voice ( in rash ) "Yar Arnav please ( rudely ) iss waqt bilkul mood ni hai mera..."Arnav looks at his friend's wet eyes ( sadly ) "Tch...Tch...tu ro raha hai yaar ( happily ) mera tu khushi sy bhangry dalny ka man kar raha" ( he did some steps) . Abhijeet ( meaningfully ) "Arnav..."

Arnav ( seriously ) "kia hua yaar"...Abhijeet ( moistly ) "mjhy apni jaroon main wapis jana hai yaar..."Arnav ( shockingly ) "tu ussy ab tak bhola ni yaar..."Abhijeet ( lostly ) "apni rooh ko... Apni jaroon ko kon bhoolta hai yaar..."Arnav ( shaking him ) "Yaara 5 hogai hain... Iss qissy ko... Wo tu kab ka tujhy bhool k agay barh gaya hoga..."Abhijeet ( whispers ) "Chahy sadiyaan kun na beet jain main ni bhool sakta ussy...( looking in vacuum ) na jany kun aik ajeeb si kashish hai uss main... Jaisy mera ussy pehle ka koi nata ho... ( tears swims in his eyes ) mjhy maa ki khusbo aati hai ussy..."Arnav ( seriously )" hmm , Uncle sy permission li tumny..."Abhijeet ( mumbles ) "Unsy permission lainy gaya na main tu wo phir mjhy ussy dur lai jaingy ( scaredly clutches Arnav's T-shirt ) main ussy dur ni jana chahta Yaar..."Arnav ( ignoring Abhijeet's pleading tone )" Abhijeet kia hum baad main baat karain iss topic py...( pulling him ) Abhi hum apni jeet celebrates karty hain na..."Abhijeet ( lostly ) "mera man ni hai Arnav... Tu ja jaky celebrate kar"...with this he marched outside... Arnav sadly looks at Abhijeet's back and let out a sight in pain... He still remembers that day when Daya left him on that road...

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

~ ~ FLASHBACKS ~ ~

Voice ( hollering in extreme pain ) Arnav wo chala gaya...( shaking the later ) ussy roko na yaar... Wo rooth gaya hai mjh sy...main aisy bina batai chor aya tha na ussy...islia baat ni kar raha hai... Tum batao na ussy k ye mera ni Dad ka faisla tha ( crying ) usny tu meri koi baat bhi ni suni yaar... ( in broken tone ) yaar hamari dosti...ma ( he stammers) mar gai... Wo mjh sy nafrat karny laga hai... ( holding his head )

Arnav tried to consoles his shattered buddy but seeing Abhijeet's condition tears roll down from his eyes too...Deep down in his heart he knows that " It's not a simple friendship...It's the addiction of two souls who completely merge and entitled as SOULMATES " No powers of this universe can separate them...Instead they are determined to be united...!

~ ~ FLASHBACK ENDS ~ ~

Only Arnav knows how he handles his shattered buddy... When he awakes from his sleep with jolt at midnights...How many times he jerks while calling Her Mother/Daya...How many tears his buddy drops while crying on his shoulder...Arnav sighed and he too march outside behind Abhijeet...

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Voice ( moistly ) Haan yaar aik baar mera baita wapis ajai... Phir main ussy sab sacch batadunga...ab aur andhery main rakh k ussy mazeed dukh ni dunga main ( cuts the call and whispers ) " Tum kahan ho Dad ki jaan...jaldi ajao baita... Dad miss you so much... Ab tumhara ye boorha baap thakny laga hai zindagi k bojh sy...Ab lagta ni hai k ye sansain aur sath daingi mera...( pleading to God )...Bhagwan meri arthi ko sahara dainy k lia mere baity ka kandha dai daina mjhy...!

He stare the sky . Blackish blue canvas having tiny sparkles twinkling in the lap of pure shine . Why I am here ? Under this open sky; what am I finding? His heart mocked . Suddenly the bay of stars rearranged and here it is . He found his star . He tries to grab that star….When he awakes from his sleep shockingly looking here and there .

Once again destiny collides them with each other . Abhijeet is going to Mumbai…He is sitting on his seat waiting for the plane to take off . When someone came and sits beside him . He takes away the newspaper from his face and looks at his companion in this journey . He becomes surprisingly shocked . It's Daya…His heart feels billions of flower blossoming around him . While Daya makes an irritated face seeing Abhijeet besides him . He teases " Ohhoo…! Tu kisi ko Mumbai ki yaad aa hee gai " . He with his hand signals the air hostess and pleaded her to change his seat . Abhijeet's heart shatters into thousands pieces listening to this . He sadly looks at the back of going Daya till he disappears from his sight . He murmurs strongly " Mainy tora hai tu jorunga bhi main hee "

He is standing in between the flood of crowd having tears of happiness in his eyes . He bents down and touches the floor . He rubs the dust on his forehead . His POV : Ayeee watan ki mitti tujhe Salam…! Daikh main agaya wapis…ab bus jaldi sy mera yaar milady mjh sy….! He hires a cab and proceeds towards his next destination…..He comes out from the cab and after giving fares to taxi driver . He stepped inside . He is standing in front of his mother's grave…holding so many stars in his eyes….He prays for her mother and then bent down…touch the mud of his mother's grave and takes her mother's aashirwad . His POV : " Maa daikho apka baita laut aya apky pass…bus ap dua karna k mera bichra hua sathi bhi mjhy mil jai…jo yahin issi shehar main kahin kho gaya tha" . His next destination is his beloved home…His Heaven….Where his father may be waiting for him . His heart pinches as he had been angry from him since 5 years .But it is not His father's fault, May be they are destined to be separated…!

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He happily stepped inside His Sweet Home but dust and silence welcomes him . He suspiciously " Dad itni raat ko ghar na aain ye baat tu hazam hoti hai magar Ramu kaka itni raat ko kahan chaly gai " He inquired from the guard as " Raju ( who is sleeping inside his cabin ) awakes with a jerk…( mumurs ) choty malkin ki awaj….shayad ye mera weham hai….Raju ( Abhijeet shout with more strict voice this time ) he becomes scared and comes out from his cabin . Abhijeet ( strictly ) Duty k time py so rahy ho tum ( angrily glares Raju ) aisy karty ho tum duty . Raju ( sacredly ) Ni choty malkin ( in head down mode ) wo bus ankh lag gai thi meri ( in astonishing tone ) Choty Malkin ap yahan..ap tu videsh main thy na…Abhijeet ( calmly ) Hmm, theek hai ( warning ) par ainda duty k time main tumhain soty huy ni daikhun…aai samjh..Raju replied " G theek hai choty malik " Abhijeet askhed him as " Ye ghar k sab log kahan gai….( caring tone ) Ramu kaka gaon gai huy hain kia….unky ghar waly theek hain na….Raju replied in somewhat shocking tone " Sahab apko ni pata Ramu tu hospital mai hai " Abhijeet ( tensely ) " hospital kun….sab theek hai na Raju….Raju ( hiding his eyes ) choty malik wo Baray Sahab ko heart attack aya tha abhi 3 din pehle tu Ramu unko hospital laiky gaya tha….tab sy wo wahin hai " Abhijeet ( shockingly murmurs ) Hospital…Dad…He ran outside with bullet speed…!

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Abhijeet enters inside the hospital in total panic . After inquiring about his dad from reception…He rushed towards I.C.C.U . From far, he can see Ramu kaka sitting in front of I.C.C.U . He with fast steps covered the remaining distance . In almost breathlessness state , He calls him as " Kaka….kia hua Dad ko…wo theek tu hain na….Doctors kia keh rahy hain ( complaining ) main videsh kia gaya apnay tu paraya hee kardia mjhy….yahan itna sab kuch hogaya aur apnay mjhy batana bhi zaroori ni samjha…."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Abhijeet stepped inside I.C.C.U and said in loving tone " Ye kia Dad main apko chor k gaya…..tu apnay tu bistar hee pakar lia ( sadly ) Itna miss kia apnay baity ko ( tearily ) tu aik baar kehty na k Abhijeet wapis ajao….main ajata na….( angrily ) par apko tu wohi kharoos Dad ban na tha na….( imitate His Father's tone ) Mainy khud bhaija hai tu wapis kun bulaon….yaad arahi hai baity ki….tu anay do….( in loving anger ) par aik phone ni kar sakty thy ap…Uncle sy full update laity thy….main kab kia kar raha hoon…theek sy kha raha hoon…parhai kaisy chal rahi uski….waqt py soa raha hoon k ni and Blah…Blah…Blah…

Voice ( in weak tone ) Agaya mera Baita ( lovingly ) opens his trembling arms with " Idhar aa tujhe apni banhoon main bharna hai "Abhijeet while grumbling hugs his father with care . His Father tweaking Abhijeet's nose ( pouts ) ye kia mera baita gaya tha tu bhi dher sara gussa laiky gaya tha aur aya tu bhi gussa hai….Tch..Abhijeet cozily adjust himself in his Father's embrace ( angrily complains ) " Gussa ni karoon tu aur kia karun main ( pouts ) apnay apna dehan kun ni rakha….bataiya hmm…" His Father ( mumurs under his teeth ) " Matlab laad sahab ny atay hee poori report lai li hai meri " Abhijeet heard that murmur, so replied " bilkul "He said in proud tone . His Father ( lostly ) Mere baity nai kaha hee ni k Dad apna dehaan rakhna….tu bus ni rakha , His father replied with hollow voice . Abhijeet becomes dumb after listening this cracked tone of his father . He in head down mode ( mouthed ) " I am sorry Dad…bht bura bhala kaha na mainy apko….baat bhi ni ki ap sy theek sy ( lovingly ) par ab main agaya hoon na….ab main apnay Dad ko chor k kahin ni jaunga " . His Father grabs Abhijeet's chin with " Idhar daikh meri ankhoon main ( lovingly ) Dad ki jaan….wiping Abhijeet's tears ( whispers ) ghalat tu mainy bhi kia na….apnay baity k sath…jor jabardasti sy bhaij dia ussy itni dour…." Abhijeet ( lovingly ) " Tu phir Dad chalain katti khatam karty hain ab jab ghalti dono ki hai " ( he dangles his pinkie finger in his father's little finger and breaks that katti )

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

At night, When he is stroking his father's hairs….heard a meek sobbing voice . He worriedly turns his father's head towards him ( caringly ) kia hua Dad….ap ro kun rahy hain….( checking his Dad ) kahin dard hai kia apko…His Father tilt his neck in yes and points towards his heart….Yahan bht dard hai baita…Abhijeet in extreme fear tries to rush outside while consoling his Father as " Don't worry Dad..main Abhi doctor Nitin ko bula k lata hoon " His father clutches his hand while nodding in No ( adds ) waisa wala dard ni jaan ( whimpers ) apky Dad ny aik gunnah kardia hai….He started crying with voice . Abhijeet( in panicked state ) consoles his Dad as " Daikhain Dad ap aisy roin mat…apki tabbiyat bigar jaigi ni tu " He cupped his father's face lovingly " kia hua Dad….kuch pareshan kar raha hai kia apko…Doctors bhi bol rahy thy k apky dil py koi bojh hai " , He asked innocently . His Father call him inside his embrace while weeping adds as, " Aao baita yahan baitho phir batata hoon " He starts as : " Abhijeet Baita apko apna wo Bhai yaad hai jisko Bhagwan g ny apki mummy k sath apnay pass bula lia tha " Abhijeet replied hmm, innocently ask " Apko chotu ki yaad arahi hai kia Dad " His Dad denied and said in meaningful tone " Abhijeet apky chotu ko Bhagwan ny apnay pass ni bulaya tha ( pauses ) bulky main ussy phenk aya tha kachra kundi main . He let out a wail….He was holding for long…! Abhijeet is dumbstruck on such cruelness….

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Waves are playing with Air sideways inviting Him to play with them . He was glaring at stars, looking in extreme dilemma . He doesn't know what to do? At one side the volcano of rage/hatred are boiling at peak in his heart while on the other side He can understands his Father's pain too . Blood ties are bounding him to take any extreme step . When he becomes tired…He left glaring at vacuum and turns to go . When, He collided with someone . He knows Him…How can he forget him…He hugged the later who is holding him by his shoulders and cried out loud . Later who is showing his rashness becomes extremely worried after seeing his soul in extreme pain . At that night, both souls are united once again in the city where once they lost each others . Under the thousands sparkling pearls, in the lap of glittering sea waves " The Soul shatters so many tears on the shoulder of his Mate…! "

IN THE SOLITARY CANVAS

YOU ARE THE ONLY MOON

UPON ME YOU SHINE

LIKE A SUNSHINE

THREADS OF FEARS

TYING IN THE HEARTY RELATION

YOU ARE NOT MY MATE ONLY

IN FACT WE ARE BOUND SOUL TO SOUL

IN THE LIGHT OF THOUSAND LAME

NO WONDER HOW STAR SHINE

I AM RIGHT HERE TO SAY

YOU ARE MY "SOULMATE "

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Morning comes in their way . He blinks his eyes 2-3 times and clears his blurry vision . He feels fresh . " Good Morning " , The voice greeted him . Abhijeet looks at him and his lips curl into a smile . Later continues in his rude tone as " Breakfast ready hai tu fresh hoky neachy ajao " Abhijeet nodes in yes ( adds ) " Kal raat k lia shukriya Daya…tumny mjhy sambhal lia har baar ki tarah " Daya ( rudely ) " mjhy bht kaam hai…tum jaldi sy neach ajao " He descended downwards . After coming inside the kitchen…He wipes his wet eyes ( looks at the pearl which stucks on his finger pore ) " shukriya " He murmurs while smiling teasingly .

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He is on the way towards hospital…When, He opens his switched off cell and founds so many missed calls by Ramu Kaka . He tries to call him back but no one picks up the call ( irritated tone ) Kia yaar kal phone dead hogaya tha mera….I hope sab theek ho wahan . He accelerated the engine and drove the car with high speed . He with fast steps reached in front of I.C.C.U and found a team of doctor is present inside . Ramu Kaka hugs him ( adds while crying ) " Baba ap kahan chalay gai thy itni raat ko ( sobbing ) apky jaty hee baray malik ki achanak tabbiyat bigar gai…wo baar baar apko hee pukar rahy thy behoshi main bhi ( in tensed tone ) phir apka phone bhi ni lag raha tha . Abhijeet sighed and replied while hiding his eyes " Wo Kaka aik zaroori kaam yaad agaya tha mjhy " His eyes are glued to I.C.C.U . After sometimes doctor comes out from I.C.C.U with sad faces . Abhijeet leapt over them and asked in scared tone " Doctor wo Dad " Doctor replied ( calmly ) " Relax young man….apky baba ab behtar hain ( worriedly ) lekin kuch hai jo unhain andar hee andar kha raha hai ( sighed ) Daikhiya main phir kahunga iss tarah ka stress heart patient k lia bilkul acha ni hai ( pats Abhijeet's shoulder ) try karain unhain khush rakhny ki ni tu kuch bhi hosakta hai….

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He is cutting apples When heard his Dad low tone as " Mera baita apnay Dad sy gussa hai na " Abhijeet in busy tone replied " Ni " His Father asked him " Mera baita puchy ga ni k aisa kun kia Dad ny usky chotu k sath " Abhijeet tries to divert his Dad's mind " Dad chorain na ye sab batain ( forwarded a piece of cut apple ) ye lain apple khain ap " His Father denying him " Ni baita aj bolny do mjhy…pata ni phir ye sansain mauqa dain ya na dain "

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Abhijeet baita main saravati sy be-had aur be-hisaab muhabbat karta tha aur delivery k baad jab doctor ny mjhy uski maut ki khabar sunai tu aik dum sy bht kuch toota tha mere andar….

~ ~ FLASHBACK ~ ~

Doctor : I am sorry Mr Aggarwal…par delivery k doraan hee apki patni ki death hogai hai ( explaining ) Apki patni ko iss baat k baray main pata tha….magar wo phir bhi iss bacchy ko duniya main lana chahti thi….islia itni baari baat apsy chupai…..

Same time nurse hands over the baby in Mr Aggarwal's lap . No happiness/sooth replaces that anguish He was feeling at then, after having that small angel in his lap . Instead he feels great hatred seeing baby opens his tiny blue eyes and starts crying loudly .

~ ~ FLASHBACK ENDS ~ ~

His Father ( in tears ) Pata nai baita mjhy kia hua…..kahan sy itni karoorta…itni nafrat bhar gai mere dil mai uss bacchy k lia ( low tone ) shayad main sarasvati ki maut ka zummedar uss nanhi si jaan ko man baitha tha…..yeh socha k kassh agar wo baccha na hota tu aj meri Saru zinda hoti…par ye bhool gaya k saru iss bacchy ko janam daina chahti thi…..wo mjhy hamara baccha amanat daiky gai thi…..aur mainy uss amanat ka zara khayal ni rakkha….phenk aya…..He hide his face in his palms and starts crying loudly . This time Abhijeet ( who is also in tears after hearing this bitter truth ) cannot tries to come forward and comforts his father . Abhijeet comes in his senses after hearing loud beep from electro cardiogram . He looks at his father who is struggling to breath . He panickedly shout as " Ramu kaka Doctor ko bulaiya jaldi sideways I.C.C.U alarm too starts ringing . His Father clutches Abhijeet's hand ( speaks in broken language ) Bai…ta mj…hy ma..af….Da…ya ko b..hi keh..na…..me…ri ast…hiy..aan tu…m…His Father's voice lowers down and then vanishes . Doctors same time enters inside in running mode and nurse pushes Abhijeet out of the I.C.C.U .

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He is walking with the funeral but does not crying like others . He is silently taking baby steps in head down mode . His mind is totally vacuous . He does not know When and Why ? ramu kaka gives him that fire lighten wood….When he forcefully gives his father's body the aagni….When he come back home while holding a kalassh….How many people tried to console him….How many days he locked himself in his room….When Arnav visits his home…He really don't know anything….He is in some other world….When he came back in his senses…One month had passed away….

ONE MONTH LATER :

On one fine day….He is solitarily sitting inside his room….recollecting his last moments with his Father….His Father's last word echoed in his ear : Bai…ta…mj…hy..ma..af..d..a.y..a k..o..bh..i ke…hna . He confusingly murmurs Dad ny Daya ka naam kun lia ( sadly ) chotu ka bhi ni bataya….kahan hai wo….kaisa hai ( thinking ) kahin Dad ko bhi ni pata ho….chotu ka….par main ussy dhoondo kahan….itna bara shehar main…aur mumma ki death ko tu 23 saal ho chuky hain…..( sighed sadly ) He picks up his mother's photo frame from side table and caringly spreads his hand over the picture ( whispers ) " Maa ap chinta na karo…main na apka baby dhoondny ki poori koshish karunga….don't worry….bus ap Dad ko maaf kar daina please "

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He shares his problem with Arnav after giving him his qasam that He will not tell anyone about this . Arnav ( thinking ) Abhijeet kahin tumhara chotu Daya tu ni . This line pinches Abhijeet badly; don't know why a strong feeling to see Daya again emerge in his heart . Arnav adds " Tumny kaha tha na…tumhain Daya ko daikh k ajeeb si kashish mehsoos hoti hai….maa ki khushboo aati hai .Abhijeet who is looking in deep thinking replied " hmm " Arnav solving his problem…replied " Tum apna aur Daya ka DNA test kara lo " sach samny ajaiga . Abhijeet eyes sparkle like anything….!
