Thank you so much all the reviewers!
Sorry for being this much late, please read now..
He once again woke up with those dreams of that night. His body covered in sweat and his breathing was heavy. He looked around himself and after seeing daya sleeping on couch and his surrounding he realized where he was. He took some deep breaths in order to calm himself and his nerves down, fortunately he had not made that much noise to wake daya up. After calming himself a bit he silently moved back attaching his back to bed. He was looking here and there and in order to avoid sleeping as he knew he will sleep because of his tired body and mind he even quietly got off the bed and moved out.
He was moving in corridor when heard some muffled crying voice from a room not very far away. He moved towards that side feeling unusual. There he stood in front of a room and gazed inside…
A girl of about 22-25 was crying hiding in her parents arms, while her parents too instead of consoling her were silent and somehow looked in shame with tears in their eyes. He was confused because of this when heard something from his side as some nurses were talking…
"arre najane kahan se muh kala karwa ker aayi hai apna yeh larki...aur abh dekho ro toh aise rahi hai jaise issne kuch kiya hi na ho…"
"abh aise kapde pehn ke ladko ke aas paas ghumti hogi yeh…toh yahi hona tha na…"
"abh bechare maa baap kahan tak isse bachayenge duniya se…"
"ek toh yeh bache itni ghinoni harkate karte hain phir maa baap ko sehna padhta hai…"
"isse acha toh apni jaan dede…khudki galti toh hai hi abh..bechare maa baap kyun sahe…ek baar dukh hoga unhe lekin phir sabh theek…"
They were completely startled by a heavy deep voice which sounded so much painful…
"kya galti thi usski? Ki woh aise samaj mein jee rahi hai jahan (looking at all of them) aap jaisi soch rakhne wale log hain…"
Nurses looked at each other and answered in a tone which had no shame for their thoughts… "sir aap kuch nahi jaante hain aisi larkiyon ke baare mein…khudh chote chote kapde pehnkar ladko ke aas paas ghumti hain aur phir sochti hain ki woh touch bhi nahi karenge…sir aap hi batayen kya koi aisi ghinoni harkat karega jabh tak apne usse uksaya na ho?"
Abhijeet felt a shiver in his body, he felt that the world will treat him in the same manner as they are treating that girl, may be even worse as he's a man and they'll think he was the one to take the first step. His eyes but maintained their firmness as he answered to the blind world…
"news toh aap sabhi dekhte honge na? (the ladies nodded, abhijeet in firm tone) toh kya uss paanch saal ki bachi ne bhi yeh khud kiya tha? (they looked at him shocked) kya uss teen saal ki bachi mein itni akal bhi thi ki woh aadmi usske saath kya kar raha hoga? (the heads went down in shame, guilt and pain) kya woh ladkiyan joh yeh sabh sehne ke baad apni jaan de deti hain kya unme sharam nahi thi…samajh nahi thi?"
Nurses never answered, abhijeet in painful tone to them… "shayd nahi hogi…shayad unnki galati yahi thi ki unhone galat ka saath na de kar ussper haath uthaya..unki galati yahi thi ki unhone iss desh ko ek jagruk desh samjha….iss sheher ko surakshit samjha…samjha ki unhe hak hai apne pairon per apni marzi se chalne ka(teasing) galati humesha sirf unnki hi hoti hai abhi bhi….itne saal baad bhi aap logon ne unhe sochne per majbur ker diya haiki kya sachme ek ladki hoke unhone galati ki hai?"
He was leaving in hurt and painful shade after last time glancing inside that room where the girl was still crying and trying to hide her eyes now from her parents, he realized he had been doing something same and a pain filled his heart making him realize that he did considered himself as guilty when he heard something from behind….a new female voice…
"galti hai sir…galti humari hi hai ki hum ladkiyan hain…(looking him confidently in eyes) kya aapne mardon ke saath aisa kabhi hua ho isske baare mein suna hai? (abhijeet looked at her in extreme pain, his heart ached badly) galti humari hai sir ki hum samaj ke niyamon mein phans jaate hain…kuch ho jaye toh apna muh chupa jaate hain…ladna aata bhi ho toh himmat nahi kar pate hain…galti humari haiki kissi ko ek chata(slap) lagadein toh woh agle din 5 ko lakar humari izaat le jaate hain…hum kamzor nahi hain sir…lekin aaplogon ki soch ne aur (looking towards nurse) innki bhi…hume kamzor dikhane mein koi kasar nahi chodi hai sir…(in painful smile) aap logon ka kya hai sir…aap log ladh jaayenge…aur sir (teasing) ladki mein itni takat nahi ya kahiye aap logon wala dil nahi ki aaplogon ko uss takleef ka andaza karwa jaayen…aur aap mardon mein ek dusre ko samajhne ki takat hai sir…hote toh aap sabhi ek jaise hain…koi mard dusre ke saath aisa nahi karega joh aap humare sath kar jaate hain...(in painful tone) warna aapko bhi pata chale sir ki who dard who takleef kya hoti hai…lekin nahi sir…dard shayad sirf hum hi sehte hain kyunki hum usse sehne ki Shakti rakhte hain…aur kabhi haar jaayen ya thak jaayen toh aaplog hume hi galat samajh lete hain…samajh lete hai ki hume hi kuch galat kiya tha issliye ah guilt se mar gaye…koi paah chaahe toh chaar sawal puchte hai…kya kahi kissi e yahi sawal aap logo se puche hai? aap log bahot safe hain sir…bahot safe…kyunki aapko apno se nahi ladna hota aur yahan hum apno se ladte ladte mar jaate hai.."
Nurse tried to say to that lady that she was misunderstanding this man standing in front now, she tried to say something…
"Doctor Riya…"
Doctor Riya glared at her and was going to scold her when heard somebody call her from behind, she turned with… "woh larki galat nahi hai sir...usse jeene dein please…"
The doctor moved on her way while abhijeet was still standing there, his ears focused some words…
"ek mard dusre ke saath aisa nahi karega sir…"
"aap log bahot safe hain sir…bahot safe kyunki aapko apno se nahi ladna hota…"
He felt a soft yet firm tap on his shoulder so turned behind to look in those eyes which always gave him that strength to fight off his demons, but today he felt weak and shameful to look in those eyes as they still bore that trust in them which he knew he didn't deserve anymore…
He silently down his eyes as daya in same quietness asked… "mujhe batake aa jaate…"
Abhijeet(in low tone while trying to leave from there)- bacha nahi hun daya main…
Daya(tough tone)- harkate toh yahi kar rahe ho tum…ek baar jaga hi dete pata hai kitni tension mein aagaya tha main…
Abhijeet looked at daya still averting his eyes and said in same tone… "tum so rahe the toh maine socha ki rehene deta hun…"
Daya(shaking his head and then asking)- acha toh abh chalein?
Abhijeet nodded and left without anything further. Daya however first silently looked towards that girl and then towards the direction where that doctor went and then sighing turned to leave when one nurse stopped him as…
"woh…sir..hum..hum…(down head) hum sachmein bahot sharminda hain sir…humari wajah se unhe bhi Doctor Riya ne daant diya…woh toh jabki sahi keh rahe the.."
Daya(softly)- koi baat nahi…(after one more time glancing towards that girl) lekin mujhe bas umeed hai aaj aapne kuch samjha ho…woh doctor bhi sach keh raheen theen…apno se ladhne mein hi banda tut jaata hai…"
Daya left after that leaving the nurse with down head and guilty tears in her eyes. he entered inside abhijeet's room and saw him sitting on bed…he asked in teasing…
"kha aaye daant ek ladki se?"
Abhijeet in serious tone… "woh sahi toh keh rahi thi daya..."
Daya(softly)- ABHI…
Abhijeet stayed silent, daya knew his buddy's soft nature in these things so silently moved towards him and while sitting beside him said in soft tone again…
"theek hai yaar…haan soch buri hai abhijeet…galat hai…lekin yeh log bhi kya Karen abhijeet? Humari society ki kuch baatein hi aisi…"
Abhijeet(tough tone)- society hum banate hain daya…
Daya looked at him and knew abhijeet was much sensitive at this moment though he didn't knew why he was so much worried…they saw all these things happening everyday around them… they tried to take their anger out…caught those culprits…it was an everyday work for them, so why now? Daya didn't dare ask anything to him now he silently asked him to lay down when abhijeet said…
"daya please yaar..neend nahi aayi hai mujhe abhi…"
Daya sat down tired on stool with… "phir kya karein?"
Abhijeet looked at his friend's tired stature and himself lay down with… "so jaao jaaker…"
Daya(shocked)- abhijeet?
Abhijeet didn't answered, daya shaking his head got up and again took his place on couch, he was tired like hell.
Abhijeet after few minutes opened his eyes and looked at daya ad heaved a sigh in pain. He was looking at him in pain and helplessness, he wanted to share with his buddy what happened with him but he was fearful of the consequences, he was afraid of how will daya react? Will he blame him too? Will he leave him alone…think of him as weak and feeble? Abhijeet closed his eyes tightly in pain as his head started spinning and aching because of his lack of sleep but he knew even if he slept that dream would wake him up. He laid down on his back and started staring the ceiling in silence…
The new morning arose and daya woke up with the soft light of sun rays falling over him, he looked around and finding abhijeet already sitting on his bed got up with…
"arre mujhe uthaya kyun nahi.."
Abhijeet looked at him and answered in small tired smile… "tum thake hua the na…"
Daya(in concern)- tum raat bhar soye nahi abhijeet?
Abhijeet moved his eyes away and answered… "soya tha na..."
Daya looked at him and then asked again in firm tone… "phir itne tired kyun lag rahe ho, haan?"
Abhijeet(irritation)- yaar daya keh diya na ki soya tha raat mein…yeh dawaiyon ke wajah se tired hun thora…tum jaao na fresh hoke aao…hume nikalna bhi hai…
Daya(while moving out)- kahan…
Abhijeet(straight tone)- bureau…(he then realized what he said and corrected himself with..) mera matlab ghar ke liye…
Daya(leaving in smile seeing the change)- haan haan aata hun…
Daya moved out in small smile while abhijeet was really irritated. Acp sir yesterday strictly ordered him to stay at home being much irritated himself because of anuj's decision to release abhijeet without tests and Atul added fuel in fire by agreeing to it after which acp sir really angry on him. Acp sir took his anger out by warning abhijeet to stay at home for at least 1 week now.
Salunkhe sir was gone out of station for some conference while acp sir had to go to delhi for some meeting so team be busy in cases today and that's why they decided to meet abhijeet at home only during evening as can't come to meet him in morning.
Daya came back after getting fresh and saw Doctor Atul doing some minor tests with abhijeet, like checking his BP, pulse rate, heartbeat etc, as soon as he saw daya entering he turned towards him with…
"daya jaao zara Anuj bula raha hai tumhe…sahab ka khyaal rakhne ki tips dene ke liye…"
Daya left in smile seeing abhijeet's irritated face. He entered inside anuj's cabin after knocking the door…
Anuj(in soft calm smile)- arre daya aagaye tum…betho zara…
Daya sat down in tense phase and ask in concern… "kya baat hai doctor kuch gadbad…"
Anuj(relaxly)- arre nahi daya…bas kuch normal cheezein batani hai…(daya relaxed, anuj continued) dekho daya kuch points toh hum tumhe already explain kar chuke hain…tumhe abhijeet se bahot normal behavior rakhna hai…jitni pehle care karte the abhi bhi utni hi karni hai…kyunki jitna maine usse dekha hai woh ek self dependent banda hai toh usse yeh sabh irritate karta hai…lekin haan daya kabhi kabhi ho sakta haiki tumhe usse bahot softly handle karna padha…khasskar ki agar woh kabhi raat ko sote sote jag jaaye toh…(daya in tense phase, anuj in calm tone) arre daya koi pareshaan hone wali baat nhai hai…bas abhi drugs ka bhi thodha effect hai usspar aur phir itne din ka torcher..(daya nodded in pain) khair mujhe yakeen hai tum usse sambhal hi loge…(in smile) chalo jaao abh..intezaar kar raha hoga woh…"
Daya nodded and stood up with… "thank you doctor (in smile) waise aapne bataya nahi aap kiss cheez ke doctor hain?(anuj looked at him shocked) kyunki yeh sabh toh mujhe doctor atul bhi bata sakte the…"
Anuj(in small smile with a careful tone)- I am an urologist daya…
