He sat on the stool kept on the side of her bed, and caressed her hair.
"get well soon girl.." he said and smiled and made his way out of the door. He sat their waiting, he got all sorts of consoles from everyone..
"shreya jald theek ho jaayegi daya" said abhijeet.
"aur theek kaise nahi hogi? humare C.I.D ki jaabaz officer jo hai, usne iss desh ke liye goli khayi hai, desh bhi uski bharpaayi zaroor karega" said acp with shining eyes.
Daya smiled and said.."jee sir, usko theek hona hee padega..".
Time passed, but there was no sign of shreya getting up..hours passed, now daya was losing patience, he went inside her ward...and screamed at her..
"are you listening to me?" he said
"shreya wake up! please.." he literally begged her this time.
but she didn't, there was no sign of any movement in her body. Daya fell to his knees.
"shreya aisa mat karo naa please..i beg you.."
"fine to tumhein aise hee lete rehna hai naa...?"
She really didn't, but daya saw a smile creeping on her face..maybe it was just his imagination..
"ok..i also don't care..don't wake up..keep sleeping..bye!" said he and thumped his legs wildly before leaving her ward.
He reached outside, someone tapped his shoulder. It was abhi.
"ghar jaao daya.." said he
"lekin abhi shreya ko aise kaise chhod ke chale jaaooon mein?"
"tum bohot thhake huye ho..aankhein dekhi hain apni..? ro ro ke kaise sujaa li hai..i think you need rest..go"
"par abhi"
"meine kaha naa.."
"fine tumse to mein kya bhagwaan bhi nahi jeet sakte hain.." he said and smiled.
Daya reached his house, totally exhausted, it rained today in mumbai, so there was a lot of jam, the sound of the horns, and people shouting rammed his head. He was already very worried because of shreya's conditon, and then the traffic jam, to irritate him more, as soon as he entered his house, he saw dust flying everywhere, it went into his nose and he sneezed wildly. He realized that his house was in a total mess, magazines lying everywhere, clothes kept on the sofa or on the chair, shoes kept here and there, and random things lying on the floor.
"uff yeh kya" he said covering his nose with his hankerchief.
He picked up the things he found on the floor and kept them in place.
He entered his bedroom. He thanked god that he made his bed before going for his mission, he always did so, because he knew he would fall on the bed after coming.
He sat on the bed, and started taking off his shoes, he lied down on the bed and covered himself. He looked at the time before dozing in a deep slumber. it was 11:15.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
\/\\/\/\/\/\\/\/\
Daya literally jumped out of his bed when he heard his iphone ring the 1,000th time again.
He picked up the phone in irritation and mumbled an annoyed "hello".
It was abhijeet.
"kya yaar daya kitni der se phone kar raha hoon..uthaya kyun nahi?"
"so raha thhaa.."
"acha to ab jaag jaaoge aur suno.."
"yaar mujhe nahi sunna kuch, ek to pehle hee shreya ki condition itni naazuk hai, mujhe uski itni tension hoye jaa rahi hai upar se tum" but abhijeet cut him.
"arre tension ki ab koyi baat nahi hai, guess what? shreya ko hosh aa chuka hai!" said abhijeet happily.
"kya?" daya jumped out of his bed in excitement as he danced to the rhythm of his own heart.
"haan yaar..hum sab to bohot khush hai..aur ye bhi pata hai ki ye baat sunkar tu bhi khushi se paagal ho jaayega!.."
"yrr abhijeet..." said daya unable to speak due to happiness..he didn't realize when some streaks of tears fell on his face an wet it.
"kabhi socha nahi thha ki mujhe mujhe dobaara pyar hoga, aur vo bhi itna ki uske begair mein ek pal bhi nahi kaat paa raha hoon..mein..mein abhi aata hoon.."
"aaja mere yaar..mil le usse, dil halka ho jaayega." and abhijeet smiled.
"shreyaaaa!" came purvi screaming and hugged her tight.
"mein kitni khush hoon tu theek hogayi meri jaan.."
Shreya managed a weak smile..
"tarika kahan hai?" asked shreya.
"Tarika? hm.." said purvi scanning the whole room..
"aapne bulaaya aur hum chale aaye" said tarika entering the ward..
"tarika.." smiled shreya..
"shreya!" said she and the three shared a group hug.
"agar tum ladkiyon ka hogaya ho to hum bhi mil lein shreya se haan?" asked abhijeet.
The ladies made way for the men.
"kaisi ho shreya..?" asked abhijeet touching her forehead..
"bas..bilkul bindaas..." said shreya
"achha ji itni weakness mein keh rahi ho bindaass haan?" said abhijeet.
Shreya smiled.
"daya se mili?' he asked.
Shreya's face fell
"nahi to..pata nahi kahan hain..mujhse milne bhi nahi aaye.." she said sadly..
"meine hee usse ghar bheja thha..kaafi thaka hua lag raha thha.." he said
"hmm" said shreya.
"ab tak to aa jaana chaahiye thha na lekin.." sai shreya looking at the door with hopeful eyes.
"haan..shaayad traffic mein fas gaya ho.." said abhijeet.
Shreya looked sad. To console her abhijeet got up and said..
"acha daya ko chhodo naa..vo to paagal hai..dekho mein tumhaare liye kya laaaya hoon?" said abhijeet taking out something from a jute bag.
Shreya face lit up
"kya?" she asked excitedly.
"chocolates!" he exclaimed.
"wow!" said shreya..
As she extended her hand to take it, abhi took his hand backwards..
"abijeet sir!" shreya pouted..
"chheen ke dikhao.." said abhijeet laughing continously looking at her expressions.
"deejiye naa.." said shreya...
She caught one his hand, and he quickly held the box in the other hand.
Shreya crossed her arms to her chest.
"achha ab to ek his insaan bachi hai jo ye lesakti hai.." said shreya.
Abhijeet looked at her with confused expressions.
"tarika!..." souted shreya
"achha to tumhein lagta hai ki mein tarika se darta hoon?" said abhijeet angrily..
"haan ji.." said shreya mischievously.
"accha to aaj hojaayega doodh ka doodh aur paani ka paani.." said abhijeet.
Tarika entered with
"haan shreya bol..kuch chaahiye thaa?" said she
"nahi mujhe to nahi lekin abhijeet sir ko tumse koi baat kehni hai.." said shreya smiling.
"uff shreya usko vo baat to itne saalon se kehni hai...turning to abhijeet.."abhijeet ko nayi baat bolo" she said
"dekho tarika aaj mujhe doodh ka doodh aur paani ka paani karna hai.."
"dekho abhijeet ye doodh paani band karo clearly bolo.."
"mein keh raha hoon ki mein tumse bilkul bhi nahi darta..samajh gayi tum.." he said crossing his arms to his chest..
"ye baat sunkar to vansh aur mayur bhi hasne lag jaayenge.." she said laughing.
"achha to ye baat hai..vansh! mayur! zara idhar aana to...!" (Actually the whole team was there..so just try to imagine)
"yes sir" they both obeyed and stood their with their hands on their backs.
"to yeh bataao..mein tarika se bilkul nahi darta right?" said he..
It didn't took a lot of time to vansh and mayur to start giggling, trying to suppress their laughter, covering their mouths.
"i think tumhein tumhaara jawaab mil chuka hai abhi.." said tarika smiling..
"ab..haan.." said abhijeet embarrassed..
"aur ye chocolates to tum shreya ke liye laaye thhe naa..to do usse.." said tarika..
"are haan tarika chheen naa unse de hee nahi rahein hain.." said shreya.
"mein bhi dekhti hoon kaise nahi deta" said tarika pulling up her sleeves and looked at ABHIJEET gulp.
Soon there was chaos in the ward, both running at each other, fighting like kids for some chocolates.
Shreya smiled looking at them, she thanked god that she had some people in her life whom she was sure would never leave her, under any circumstances, now the only problem left was to convince sidharth about her relationship with daya. She was truly scared, that how would she would talk to sidharth abouth this matter. Daya had promised that he would do so. She felt alone without him, she wanted him close to her right now. She crawled under her sheets, and buried her head in the pillows and mumbled against the soft cushion
"daya kahaan hain aap..please jaldi aajaaiye naa..i need you.." she said.
Daya clenched his fists hard as he saw the long traffic jam in front of him, he was feeling really angry.
Now and then he kept honking.
it was also difficult to move even a little far in the jam.
Daya honked again in anger and desperation, he couldn't wait more to see her big tinkling eyes, and to hear the beauty of her laughter.
"are bhaisaab, baar baar horn bajaane se kuch nahi hoga, bohot khatarnaak jam hai.." said a man from a car.
"are lekin ye kab jam kab khoolega?" asked daya annoyed.
"pata nahi shaayad kaafi der hojaayegi.."
"sh*T!" daya mumbled.
There was no way to go across, so he steerd his car the other wat round, where the road was empty, but it was one way, so the traffic police caught him. This couldn't get any more worse he thought to himself..
"oh bhaisaab..ye road kya tumhaare baap ki hai jo one way pe chala rahe ho? accident hojaaye to?" he said
"dekhiye aap..please mujhe jaane deejiye mein bohot jaldi mein hoon abhi.."
"dekho hero..aise hee nahi chhod sakte tumhei..chalaan to bharna hee padega.."
"dekhiye ye..ufff...achha ye dekhiye mera id card mein inspector daya hoon C.I.D se..dekho please mein bohot jaldi mein hoon.."
"are daya sir" said the man and saluted him..
"dekho mujhe pata hai sabke ke liye same checking honi chaahiye par dekho mein.." he tried to muster up and excuse.
"sir chalaan to katna padega..hum desh ke saath aise kaise.."
"dekho mein ek bohot hee high-profile criminal ko pakadne jaa raha hoon.." he said.
"agar tum mujhe jaane doge to desh ka bhala karne mein tumhaara bhi ek part hoga..jaane do mujhe"
"criminal ko..are sir mujhe maaf kardijiye sir..jaaiye jaaiye.." he said making way for him..
jhhoot bolkar kuch achha nahi lagaa..he thought and smiled mischievously.
As soon as he entered the premises of the hospital he saw an old lady walking towards the pharmacy with a basket of fruits in her hands, suddenly she slipped on water and fell down, and the basket of fruits she was carrying also fell down.
"oh no! ye kya hogaya.." he exclaimed.
"Aunty, aunty aap theek to hai naa..aap uthiye.." he said picking the old lady up.
"oh my! mera pair..mere pair mein lagta hai moch aagayi hai.." said the lady moaning.
"mere fruits..!" she said sadly.
"mein utha deta hoon, aap baad mein dho lejiyega.." said daya picking up the basket.
It took him neraly 10 minutes to find all the scattered fruits.
"aunty aap aaiye mein aapko admit karwadeta hoon.." he said.
He made her sit on a wheelchair and wheeled her past the hospital, to the doctor.
He was continuously jumping when the doctor was telling him what had happened to the lady.
He was really restless and couldn't wait to go.
"dekhiye inke pair mein zyada kuch nahi hua, vo achanak se gir gayi to dard ho raha hai, pain killer de diya hai, aur dawaai laga di hai..aap.." but he stopped seeing daya fiddling.
"haan theek hai doctor...mein 3rd floor par hee hoon..aap payment waheen le lijiyega..ok...take care.." he said and ran away.
The doctor glared at him and said.
"itni bhi kya jaldi thhi, ek to khud treatment karwaane laaye aur khud hee bhaag gaye..uff ye aajkal ke log.." he said.
Shreya was lying on the bed half asleep, the lights were turned of n order to not disturb her.
Daya quickly ran through the corridors and just as he was going to open the door the guard stopped him.
He swore a thousand words to him.
"bloody hell, this day is getting more and more worse!..i can't bear it now, if this man stops me, I am sure I'll punch him on his face!..."he thought in his mind.
"are saahab aise kaise andar chaldiye, abhi patient so raha hai.." he said
"are mein patient ko jaanta hoon, mei uska dost hoon.." he said
"boyfriend hain kya?" he asked mischievously
"haan hoon to? tumhe kya problem hai..jaane do..' he said and pushed him
"are sir dost hain to theek hai, "patient's visiting card to dekhaiye.." SAID HE.
"patient visiting what...?" asked daya
"aapko kya lagta hai koi bhi aakar patient se mil lega? uske liye ek card chaahiye hota hai.."
"oh no!.." daya said
He quickly dialed abhijeet's number.
"hello abhi ye visiting card kahaan hai yarr..?
"are daya aagaye tum..mein, tarika aur purvi cafeteria mein hain.."
"tum vo sab chhodo, mujhe shreya se milna hai, ye card kahaan hai?"
"card tarika ke paas hai..tu cafeteria aaja aur leja.."
"achha aata hoon.." said daya and cut the line.
He literally ran from there and reached the cafeteria, and spotted the three of them
"tarika jaldi do card..." said daya jumping from one place to another.
"ruk jao daya, de raheen hoon.." said tarika taking out random things from her purse.
"yaarr tarika do naa..." said daya annoyed to death.
First she took out a comb then a stick of kajal then a beautiful lip colour then a clucher then finally as daya thought she was going to take out hte card she took out another smaller purse from the purse.
"what the hell tarika! tumne kya poora ghar hee rakh diya hai kya apne bag mein?"
"chillao mat daya..zyada bologe to mein card dungi bhi nahi..fir mil le naa apni shreya se.."
From the smaller purse she took out the card and handed over to daya.
"lo..aur ab jaao.." she said.
"thanks!" he said and ran away.
The three of them looked at him and smiled.
purvi: kaash inke rishte ko kabhi nazar naa lage" she said and smiled.
As soon as daya reached the third floor he felt the urge to use the washroom. He quickly made his way to the washroom, but there was a long que waiting for him.
"sh*T!" he swore.
"this day couldn't get any worse" HE THOUGHT TO HIMSELF.
Finally when he got his turn he went inside. After coming out he washed his hands, and came out.
After walking a distance, he realized that he had forgotten his visiting card in the washroom itself.
"this day is getting better and better" he said sarcastically and flew to the washroom.
He saw a man picking up his card.
He was gone totally bonkers, but managed to say.
"excuse me, ye mera card hai, mein yahaan galti se bhool gaya thha..please mujhe de dijiye.."
"excuse me ye mera card hai.." he said
"are aap " he started in a loud tone and everyone started looking at him
"dekhiye ye mera hai mujhe de dejiye.." he said.
"nahi ye mera hai"
"mera hai"
"mera hai.."
daya was going crazier and crazier each passing minute.
"aap apna wallet check kijiye.." he said
He checked his wallet and found his card there.
"are haan, ye to yahaan hee hai.." he said
Daya wanted to slap that man right away but he didn't. Instead he quickly grabbed his card and made way to shreya's ward.
After running in the long corridor he was panting hard, and opened the door of her ward.
A bright white light shined in the dark bedroom and shreya instantly woke up startled by the light. Daya closed the door of her ward and switched on the lights.
Shreya looked at daya and he looked at her, she smiled from ear to ear and opened her arms to him, daya came running and hugged her tightly.
"shreya.." he said panting.
"daya aap itna haanf kyu rahein haim?" she asked gliding her hands on his back.
"daudke aaya naaa..isliye.." he said smiling.
She broke apart and said.
"aap itni deir mein kyun aayei?" she said sadly
"i'm sorry shreya vo mein buri tarah se fas gaya thha.."
"don't give me that "buri tarah se fas gaya thha waali line" she said quoting the lines with her fingers.
"dekho shreya mein samjhata hoon..pehle to traffic, phir vo police waala, phir vo boodhi anty, aur phir ye bekaar visiting card, uske baad tarika, uske baad washroom, aur phir uske baad vo paagal aadmi, aur uske baad itna daudna.." he said and took a deep breath.
"achha ji to itna sab hogaya aapke saath..chaliye koi nahi mujhe baad mein bata dijiyega..ok?" she said and smiled cutely.
"jee madam" he said and sat on the bed next to her.
She kept her head on his chest and said
"pata hai kitna miss kar rahi thhi mein aapko..i love you.." she said
"meine bhi bohot miss kiya tumhe..i love you too.." he said and held her hands.
"daya mujhe ek ajeeb saa dar lag raha hai.."
He looked at her with confused eyes and said
"dar? lekin kis baat ka dar shreya?" he asked
"sidharth ko humaare rishte ke baare mein bataane ka dar..i don't know vo kaise react karega, naraaz hojaayega, kahega ga ki pehle kyun nahi bataaya, engagement ke baad kyun...humari family relation bikhar jaayegi.."
"dekho shreya galati mere se huyi hai..mujhe hee pehle tumhein apni dil ki baat bata deni chaahiye thhi.."
Shreya buried her face deeper in his chest while tears formed in her eyes.
"galti meine kee hai to mein hee sudhaarunga..sidharth se mein baat karunga"..he said and smiled, she also looked at him and smiled, he then kissed her forehead. And they sat together talking to each other, getting to know each other more, loving each other, and giving peace to each other, totally dwelled into each other, not aware of the storm that was going to pass through their lives, very soon

(ruk jaao chapter is not over...so soon..hehe..:p)
Shreya had been discharged for 3 days now and her life was going really smoothly with daya, she forgot all her pain when she was with him and finally the day arrived. Today was sidharth's birthday bash at his mansion.
Daya, abhijeet, purvi and tarika were specially invited.
Everyone had to reach maximum by 8:00 clock.
At 7:30 daya ringed shreya.
Shreya was getting ready in her house, suddenly her phone rang and she picked it up.
"haan daya kaho.."
"shreya mein aur tum saath chaltein hai sidharth ki party mein..mein tumhein chhod doonga"
Shreya felt really uncomfortable at first to say "no" to daya but she knew daya would understand.
"nahi daya, sidharth ko shak hojaayega..usko pehle se hee lagta hai ki mere aur aapke beech kuch hai, aur agar is tarah hum dono ek saath party mein jaayenge to usse shak ho jaayega, mein 8:00 baje tak pohonch jaaungi..aap 8:15 tak aaiyega ok..?"
Daya felt a little disappointed, but he understood the situation clearly.
"ok shreya..bye!..." he said and hung up.
shreya's face fell and she thought to herself
"life's hard but not impossible"
At sidharth's mansion.
Sisharth looked handsome dressed in a suit and was greeting everyone with warm hugs and greetings, by chance daya arrived really early, he saw shreya walking towards the door, and as soon as she entered, sidharth stopped greeting everyone and looked at her.
Shreya smiled at him and said
"happy birthday sidharth!.." she said.
"thank you shreya!" he said and locked her in a warm hug.
Shreya felt a little uncomfortable doing this, she was in a relationship with daya and lovd him from the bottom of her heart. Still in the hug she turned her head sideways and saw daya looking at both of them locked in that hug.
Daya was looking really sad, and he turned away his face from them and looked downward.
They seperated.
"many many happy returns of the day.." she said
"thank you shreya..you are looking really beautiful in this dress.." he said admiring her dress.
"thanks sidharth.."
"go on enjoy the party...its all for you" he said.
"sidharth!" somebody called out his name and he excused himself.
Shreya walked around the big party hall trying to find daya, but she couldn't. She got a call from her mom and she excused herself and went near the pool area to talk. After she had finished talking, she turned to leave, but a hand gripped her and pulled her behind a tree. Shreya gasped and tried to scream but the man covered her mouth.
"bohot has has ke gale mil rahi thhi naaa tum uss se?" asked daya.
"kya daya aap bhi naa...dara diya mereko.." she said finally releasing herself from his grip.
"achha tum mujhe chot pohonchao uska kuch nahi..?"
"dekho daya aajkal hug karna normal see hi baat hai.." she said smiling looking at "jealous daya"
"ok ok maaf kiya.." he said..
Shreya turned to leave
"achha jaane se pehle ek baar mujhe bhi to gift dedo.." he said
"kya gift?" she asked confused.
"ek kiss?" he said
She blushed crimson.
"ok..i agree.." she said
Daya was shocked yet he moved towards her, he closed his eyes and felt her hand cupping his face, he waited but she quickly pecked a kiss on his cheeks and went running away laughing.
"shreya dikh nahi rahi hai.." said purvi
sidharth: haan purvi pata nahi kahaan chali gayee
tarika: washroom gayee hogi shaayad.
abhijeet: daya bhi nahi dikh raha hai.
tarika: lagta hai dono ke dono ek saath kahee chale gaye.."
sidharth: excuse me
Sidharth went to a side and thought.
"ye daya aur shreya dono ek saath kaise gaayab hogaye? kaheen shreya ke man mein daya ko lekar feelings to nahi hain?"
roaming around he went to the terrace and as soon as he went he saw shreya running away from daya, he could not hear clearly but he could hear a slight voice of shreya laughing.
daya held out his hand and said "are shreya" and he smiled too.
sidharth couldn't here daya say that but it was clear that daya was trying to stop shreya. he felt really confused, he remembered that shreya clearly said to him that she has no feelings for daya and still she is out with him.
He thought he was thinking too much, and would ask shreya about it later in a random way in order to not make her feel uncomfortable.
But in his mind he felt sad, for he had loved shreya truly and deeply.
