2 weeks passed and the condition was same. No one want to talk, both want to burst out but same blood nature was stopping them. Abhijeet was much much better than before, he is joining the beauru next day. Abhinaash was planing something secretly, he thinks that he can hide this from his brother but he was wrong.
NIGHT JUST BEFORE GOING TO THE BEAURU
Abhijeet was pacing up and down in his room
Is ke dimaagh mein kuch to chal raha hai...par kia..(rubing his finger on lip)Do din se bahut bechain hai par..puchun aik bar...(shook his head in no)nahi fayida to ho ga nahi..par baat ho kya sakti hai..uhun... kal ...bureau se a ke us se aram se baat karni ho gi...
He decides something and was about to move to bed but moved to the guest room instead. He peeped in and found Abhinash sleeping with AC still off. He smiled looking at his ziddi chotey bhai..
Next morning Abhinash opened his eyes and found the ac turned on, he sighed deeply and moved out side after freshning up. There he found Abhijeet ready in formals.
aap beauru ja rahey hain...(asked suddenly)
Abhijeet who was reading the news paper, looked up.
Aap kidhar ja rahey ho bhaiya...(10 years old boy asked in angry plus wet tone)
His bhaiya looked at him with guilt in his eyes. He continued
aap ne promise kiya tha na.. aaj kahin nahi jao ge.. mere sath cricket khelo ge..
He want his bhaiya around him.
Abhinash called: bhaiya…
Abhijeet came out from his dream land.
han... beauru hi ja raha hun... (he stand up while folding the news paper)tum breakfast kar lena...
(Abhinash opend his mouth, but Abhijeet said) me ne kar liya hai.. bye...
And he moved out without glancing at him.
Abhinash stared at his back.
Mera Abhi to good boy hai na...(Abhi nodded) to ab bilkul nahi rona... bhaiya aa jaein ge 7 o clock tak... phir khoob mati karein ge theek hai...?
Then his bhaiya kissed his forehead and moved out.
Abhinash cleared his eyes and moved towards the table. He ate little just for the sake of his bhaiya.
..
Abhijeet reached beauru by his own car. He come out from the car and looked at the time, its only 8:30 am.
Boss aik to tum na... Ufff... me to tang aa gaya tumhari is adat se... soney bhi nahi diya theek se...punctuality hi dikhao har jagah...
Kaash tu aik bar punctual ban jata ya me aik bar dair kar daita to ..shahyad hum aik saath rehtey...par aab to sach mein dair ho gai...per me is bar dair nahi karun ga... Abhi ko bhi kahin phir se kho..,,
A cold shiver passed his spine. Then he moved upstairs.
He climbed the last stair.
Boss... wah yar... barey punctual ho ab tak... lagta hai mera asar aa gaya...
He looked here and there and found nothing but a long empty corridor. He moves forward.
He was near the kitchen, when
Me kia soch raha hun Abhi... ke jab ritirement ho jaye gi na... to isi kitchen mein cook ki job kar lein ge hum dono...
Recived a glare from other side so speak
Acha acha... sirf me...(murmured) aise ghoor raha hai... jese abhi ke abhi.. isi kitchen ke stove pe mera broast bana ke kha jaye ga...
Abhijeet was staring at the kitchen door when he noticed his mobile rings. He looked at his cell with a hope...as waiting for someone's call or massege .But his hopes are remain hopes because it was the promotional massege from cell phone company, so he sighed and moved forward.
He pushed the door.
"Senior Inspector Abhijeet Reporting sir.."
Acp sir forgot to turn. The glass almost fell from Rajat's hand. Purvi feels she should pinch her self. How much they missed this tone.
Acp sir turns.
welcome back ...Senior Inspector Abhijeet...(and he gave back his gun and badge)
Acp sir shook hand with him. He looked at his face and found those eyes glistening with tears.
thank you sir...(he smiles)
They all are seeing this smile after one month.
Purvi: hum ne aap ko bahut miss kiya sir bahut...
Rajat sach mein sir ... bahut acha laga ... phir se aap ko wapis beauru mein dekh kar...
Abhijeet: muje to ana hi tha Rajat...ab us se dant nahi khani me kahey ga...boss... muje to tum bara kehtey they or khud...
Acp sir: han... or mujh se aa ke kehta tha... sir.. ye Abhijeet hi muje late karwata hai... uthata hi nahi jaldi...
Purvi: sach mein sir... Daya sir ki bahut yaad aati hai...
Abhijeet: muje to bilkul yaad nahi aati us ki/...
Rajat and Purvi surprisingly looked at him but Acp smiles.
Abhijeet continued: yaad to unhein kartey hain jin ko aap kabhi kabhi bhool bhi jatey hain.. or me to.. usey kabhi bhoola hi nahi.. (smiles) wo to mere aas pass hi hai...
Acp sir asks: or Abhinash...?
Abhijeet's smile vanished in a second and he looked at Acp sir.
Acp sir(in casual tone): aisey kia dekh rahey ho... aik sawal hi to poocha hai...
At the very same moment Acp's cell rang and he receives the call with: han bol salunkhey...
He talked for some time and then cut the call. and said to Rajat and Purvi: Forensic Lab jao... Salunkhey ne reports ready kar di hain...
After Rajat and Purvi left Acp turned to Abhijeet.
Abhijeet ... dair mat karna beta phir se...
Abhijeet looked down.
Sir muje kuch samajh nahi aa raha...
Acp: me ye nahi kahun ga Abhijeet... ke tum usey Daya ki jagah do... par bhai to wo bhi hai na tumhara...
Sir me usey samajh nahi pata...
Acp sir patted his shoulder. :Khud ko to samajhtey ho na...?
Abhijeet nodded.
wo to tumhari hi parchai hai na...
Abhijeet smiles: g sir... kabhi kabhi meri hi tarha bartao(behave) karta hai...
to phir usey kiun nahi samajhtey...
sir me kia...
jo salon pehley kartey they... aik baap ban ke bhai ban ke... usey samajhtey they... (took some breaths)Abhijeet... Daya ka har dard jaise tumhein dikhta tha waise hi is ka bhi dard...
sir Abhi ne bahut kuch khoya hai sir..kahin me us ke pass ja ke usey or...
to tum chahtey ho... wo phir se 18 saal pehley ka dard jheley...
Abhijeet remained silent for some seconds, then:no sir..is bar nahi.. (He seemed very much confident.). me apne bete ko is bar kuch nahi khone dunga..
Acp pressed his shoulder and went in cabin.
Abhijeet: Abhi... is baar tujhe kuch nahi khona parey ga... ye wada hai tere bhaiya ka... (then turned towards HIS picture) or tujh se bhi tera boss ye wada karta hai... ke is baar koi ghalti nahi ho gi...
After giving the promises to to the two most important persons of his life, Abhijeet started waiting for night.
..
Abhijeet reached home going to ring the bell but found the house locked from out side. So he entered in side after opening the door from his own key.
He directly went to guest room with a worst fear and checked the cupboards. A relax sigh came up his throat.
He sat on bed with a thud and breathed heavily, wiped sweat and then stood up for going out when his sight caught some thing under the pillow. He dont want to see but his instinct told him some thing and he moved forward to picked it up. It was an envelope he took out something from it.
ye ticket..us ne mujhe bataya bhi nahi...jane ki tayari ker li...arey wah..bahut bara ho gaya...aab me bhi dekhta hun.. kitna bara ho chuka hai...
He moved out taking the tickets and came to his room and sat on bed apparently angry.
He started as: sab chor k jatey hain...pehle aik ne kaha ke jao bhai kisi or ka haq hai... tum pe..or khud tarapta raha..phir.. dusra... apni mahanta dikha ke Australiya...
(He gazed on tickets) phir dusre ne to apni ticket itni dur ki katwai ke...(shook his head) aab ye bhi phir se.. ye...
But he cant say anything more suddenly started crying loudly: kiun bar bar kiun bhagwan..kiun...itna akela hi karna tha to itney rishton se mulaqat kiun karwai...
Suddenly he felt that some one is opening the door so he immediately wiped his tears.
Abhinash entered inside the house. Darkness welcomed him. He moved to his bhaiya's room and saw him sitting on bed. He can see his back only.
By listening the foot steps Abhijeet opened his eyes, he was expecting that Abhinash will call him and give some explanations for his late tried to call him, but some thing stuck in his throat and he took back steps towards his room.
Abhijeet turned and looked at the empty door step. He sighed heavily He was expecting more than his chotey's patience.
Abhinash came to his room and directly ran towards the wasroom, opened the tap and then...his pain started mixing with the water flowing from tap.
After spending the good amount of time there , he came out from the washroom, wiped his face from towel. He looked at his reflection in mirror, red puffy eyes .., unshaved face... He sighed painfully and then moved towards the cupboard to took out his accessories and pack them for an unwanted journey.
Abhijeet was standing near his room window staring at the vast sky.
Abhinash after packing his stuffs moved to check if his bhaiya had taken his dinner or skipped it as its his old habbit. As usual he found the kitchen and fridge total clean.
He sighed and moved to Abhijeet's room found him staring out. He knows this posture, he had seen the same posture years before when Abhijeet was to join training academy. After that they hadn't able to meet in normal situations. Abhinash felt an unknown fear when he saw him in that posture. His mind went to that day and his throat automatically called Abhijeet in that old loving and childish tone
"Bhaiya..."
