Chapter three
a/n:- DIWALI SPECIAL UPDATE! Happy Diwali, kali pooja, dhanteras, bhai dooj . happy festival week. Keep smiling. Love you all. God bless
The next day too Abhijeet decided to make a visit to the hospital. It was 9am. Daya was all ready and sitting up on his bed looking outside the window when Abhijeet entered.
Daya:- arey sir aap subah subah?
Abhijeet:- haa who hospital ke paas se guzar raha tha toh socha….
Daya: (smiles) good morning sir!
Abhijeet:- (a bit strict) haa haa thik hai. Dressing ho gayi?
Daya nodded.
Abhijeet raised an eyebrow.
Daya;- sacchi sir. Aap pooch lo nurse ko chaho toh.
Abhijeet nodded.
The wardboy arrived with the breakfast and a prescription.
wardboy:- aap yeh dawai la denge ?
Abhijeet (taking the prescription) haa ok.
wardboy:- aapse ek baat poochu?
Daya:- mujhse? Haa?
wardboy:- yeh aapke sabse close haina? Aapke office ke?
Daya:- nahi aise… senior hain… aapko aisa kyu laga?
wardboy:- aapke baaki office ke log… yeh kuch alag se lage. Matlab kal bhi do baar aaye the. Aaj bhi subah subah. Emergency mei contact mei bhi aapna hi number diya hai isliye mujhe laga ki shayad best friend honge… warna aajkal ke zamane mei kaun karta hai itna kisi paraye ke liye.
Daya couldn't think of a reply. The thought that Abhijeet must be guilty thinking that Daya was in that condition because of him had crossed Daya many times but it didn't seem like it. There was more of a concern than guilt in abhijeet's eyes. And the rudeness and strictness , Daya smiled. It was probably just a cover to hide his real emotions. Emotions of care, concern, love, fear? Daya had seen the fear behind abhijeet's anger. Even back at the asylum, Daya had seen the fear in his eyes. The fear or getting too attached to someone and then losing them. Its not that Abhijeet didn't crave for love and care, he tried to stay away from Daya because he was scared of getting to attached to him.
Daya got lost in some thoughts of his own.
Abhijeet:- (pressing his hand on daya's shoulder) daya?
Daya:- (startled) h? haaa? Haa sir.
Abhijeet:- kahan khoye hue ho?
Daya:- nahi who kuch aise hi… soch raha tha kuch…
Abhijeet:- kya soch rahe ho?
Daya:- aapke bare mei.
Abhijeet:- (shocked) haa?
Daya (bit his tongue) n. nahi sorry kuch nahi.
Abhijeet:- dawai time se le lena. mai bureau ke liye nikalta hu. Sham ko aunga.
Daya smiled and nodded.
Abhijeet :- aur smile karna band karo.
Daya looked at him blankly stopped smiling.
Abhijeet turned to go and then stopped for a moment and turned back.
Abhijeet:- arey haa. Tumhara phone… (handing him) agar kuch zaroorat pade toh mujhe call kar dena. (not making direct eye contact with him) chalta hu.
Daya watched him go…
The day passed slow enough for Daya. He mostly laid on bed watching tv or sitting for sometime. He tried to get down and walk about but felt dizzy so decided to stay on bed only. He felt asleep at 3pm.
The case was on the verge of being solved. The team had to raid two factories and were expecting a shootout and lot of chasing and stuff for the evening. The team had set out for the location. Abhijeet called up daya to inform that he wont be able to visit him the evening. There was no response from daya's side.
Abhijeet got a bit worried. He called on the hospital's reception and they confirmed that daya was sleeping so probably he didn't hear the phone. Abhijeet calmed down.
Abhijeet :- laparwahi ki had hoti hai. Phone deke bhi koi faida nahi hua.
Daya woke up much later only when the wardboys came in with dinner at 9:30pm.
Daya;- itni der kaise so gaya mai. (rubbing his eyes)
Wardboys:- heavy sedatives aur dawai chal rahi hai na. koi baat nahi. Khana kha lijiye aap.
Daya:- abhijeet sir aaye the kya sham ko?
Wardboy:- nahi toh…
Daya:- bole the milne ayenge… (feeling a bit sad)
Even he did not know why he was sad or so. How or why did abhijeet's meeting him affect him. It wasn't necessary that he would visit him twice every day. Giving his number for emergency contact didn't mean he was his family member or friend. It was just a formality or maybe he was really guilty and nothing else.
He pushed the tray aside and took out his phone from below the pillows. 3missed calls abhijeet sir the phone flashed. A smile came on daya's face and left as soon as it had come.
Daya:- sir ne 3 baar call kiya? Kahin koi problem mei toh nahi?
He tried calling back. No network.
He got down from the bed to move near the window. He was feeling dizzy but still he had to call him back. He took the support of the walls and somehow walked upto the window and pressed the call button.
Suddenly a shooting pain struck the back of his head and everything was pitch black.
The whole evening and night passed away in the chasing and case solving. Abhijeet was very exhausted. His legs were aching from all the action of the evening. He reached home at 11pm. He had no energy to cook dinner at that point of time. He decided to order some food from a local restaurant. He took out his mobile and saw daya's missed call half an hour back.
Abhijeet was worried. Daya had called at an odd hour plus the last "missed call" had brought enough bad news for abhijeet. He immediately called back but no response.
He got irritated.
Abhijeet:- phone receive karna hi nahi hai. Uff!
He called the hospital reception and asked them to check on daya! He waited impatiently on the line.
And it was bad news. Someone had attacked daya in the hospital. Abhijeet was shocked as hell.
Abhijeet:- haa? Kya?! (shocked) haa mai aata hu abhi.
He rushed to the hospital and found himself standing outside I.C.U
Nurse came out
Abhijeet:- kaisa hai daya? (tensed)
Nurse:- mil sakte hain. Stable hai.
Abhijeet went inside and saw oxygen mask and so many fluids and machines attached to daya
Abhijeet (angry) kaisa system hai aapka. Koi aise kaise attack kar gaya ?
Doctor:- dekhiye shant ho jayiye.
Abhijeet:- aap log bhi arrest ho sakte hain iss laparwahi ke liye.
Daya was partially awake and Abhijeet's shouting and the environment caused him a lot of headache. He tried to sit up. He opened his eyes and after a few moment he could clearly see abhijeet fighting over with the doctor and other staff.
Doctor:- dekhiye please yeh hospital hai aap shor mat kijiye.
Abhijeet;- bahut acha hospital hai. cid officer pe attack ho jata hai hospital premises mei aur kisine kuch nahi dekha.
doctor:- sir please aap bahar jayiye patient ko problem ho rahi hai.
Daya tried to speak but couldn't.
Abhijeet:- bahar? Mai raat ko yahin rukunga. Aur aajke incident ke baad mujhe right hai.
Doctor:- ok ok but please sir patient ko stress ho raha hai.
Abhijeet:- haa haa (angry) mere wajah se stress ho raha hai. Attack ke wajah se nahi mere chillane ke wajah se serious halat hai iski. Mujhe video footages chahiye. Abhi isi waqt
Daya:- s.. sir…
Abhijeet looked at him in a worse off condition. He was trying to move his hand and maybe trying to hold something… someone maybe… he needed support.
Abhijeet :- vi…video footages kal dekehnge. (lowering the tone) aap sab jayiye please.
He sat down beside daya. Daya could barely speak at that point. He just looked at abhijeet. Abhijeet looked at him and a lot of scenes flashed infront of his eyes.
He recalled the days when abhijeet used to be scared as hell. Afraid of the tortures of the mental asylum and how daya used to be his shield. Even after behaving so rudely and violently with him, he never left abhijeet's side and when abhijeet needed him the most daya was the only one to stay by his side.
Abhijeet could see the feeling in daya's eyes. The fear, the need of security, the safe heaven. Yes he was going through the same feeling; the pain abhijeet had endured for several months was evident in his eyes as well. Abhijeet knew the pain so well, he would never wish anyone to go through that feeling not even his worst enemies. He knew he couldn't leave daya alone at that time.
Abhijeet sat near him and clutched his hand tightly
Abhijeet;- daro mat daya mai hu na.
He placed one hand on his head ruffling his hair.
Abhijeet:- shant ho jao. Tum akele nahi ho. Kuch nahi hoga.
