A/N: I am sorry for being a bit late, as I was busy with "RISHTA". That story will e continued, and I will definitely update the next chapter soon, but till then as that one contains bit of serious and emotional stuff, I thought of giving my readers a treat with this cute and typical "FT - kind of" chapter.
Relax and enjoy being happy :)
with love,
Abhirikafan
Another evening at Duo's house
Abhijeet just returned from the bureau. He entered his room and threw his coat on the sofa. A painful "AHHH" came out of his mouth. Just then Shreya was coming to him to hand him over his "property" - his "Diya"!
Shreya: Jeej, aap apni beti ko - (hearing his "AAAHHH") Arre, kya hua? Aap ne aisa kyun kia?
Abhijeet: (shocked) arey, nahi nahi, lao, meri beti ko mere paas do, aur tum jao ab thoda aram karo -
Shreya: Kuch chpa rahe hai aap JEEJ!
Abhijeet: Nahi nahi Shreya, aisi koi baat nahi -
Shreya: Acha? Phir aap ne mujhe "tum" kyun kaha, haan? Aap ko chot lagi hai, na?
Abhijeet: (Trying to make up) Arre, pareshan honewala kuch nahi, bas thoda sa-
Shreya: Yeh aap na hi soche to behtar hai! (angrily) Sach me Jeej, aap ko kuch samjhana meri bas ka baat nahi - aap ko kuch aur hi chahiye - (storming out of the room leaving a puzzled Diya behind)
Diya looked at the door confusingly, and then looked at Abhijeet who was standing still with a horrified face. She came near him and lifted her arms (as a gesture of asking him to take her into his lap), but Abhijeet was too tensed to notice that. Diya was really shocked to see her Bade Papa like this. Now she pulled his trousers -
Diya: Bale Pappa -
Abhijeet: (coming back to reality) Arre, meri guriya - (he leaned forward and took her into his arms) chalo aa jao- bade pappa aa gaye -
Diya was happy now, she placed her head on his shoulder kissing him on his cheek. A sweet smile crept on his face. But it vanished as soon as he felt a soft touch on his wound on the back. He turned his head surprisingly to look at Diya, who was touching the wound - with a very serious face. He made Diya sit on his bed and he himself sat in front of her.
Diya: Bale Pappa ko kya hua? waha laal - laal - Bale Pappa ko dald hai -
Her eyes were now full with tear. Seeing her baby like this, Abhijeet could not control himself, he hugged her tightly, tears were flowing down his cheeks. Diya wiped (at least tried to wipe) the tear with her baby hands -
Diya: Bale Pappa - aap ko dald ho laha hai? aap lo mat - (trying to touch the wound) yaha dald hai? ab nahi hoga dald -
Abhijeet: (taking her into his lap) (deep voice) ab nahi ho raha hai beta - ab bilkul bhi dard nahi hai aap ka bade papa ko-
"Abhijeet!" A loud voice was heard from the door step - Abhijeet looked with a shock. Daya entered the room. His face was enough to show his anger.
Daya: (loud) Socha kya hai tumne, haan? Tarika bas 2 din ke liye bahar gayi hai - isska matlab, tum jo marzi karoge? tumhe koi kuch nahi kahega - (looking at Diya) Tu jaa apni mamma aur Bhaiya ke paas, tere bade papa se mujhe kuch baat karna hai - abhi!
Diya was too afraid to disobey her father's order - she followed silently. Abhijeet was trying to say something-
Daya: Chup - ekdum chup! Mujhse baatein karne ki koshish bhi mat karo -
Abhijeet: Daya - ekbaar sun - woh-
Daya: Chup chap shirt utaro -
Abhijeet: Haain!
Daya: ek baar me baat samajh me nahi ata -
Abhijeet lowered his gaze and took off his shirt. There was a deep cut on his back.
Daya: (shockingly) ABHIIIII!
Abhijeet looked at his panicked face.
Abhijeet: Arre, kuch nahi hua hai! Hota hai aisa -
Daya: Tum superman ho! aur aise chot leke tum kabse yun hi baithe rahe ho! Abhi, tumhe pata bhi hai -(already started to clean his wound with antiseptic cotton) ghaw kitna gehra hai! Kya zaroorat thi uss Rajiv se akele milne jane ki, haan? Hum log bhi to jaa sakte they, aur tumhe pata tha na, ke woh tumse badla lena chahte the - phir bhi akela jana hai - hero banne chala -
Abhijeet: Agar uske baat na mante to unn logo ke jaan ko khatra ho sakte the Daya -
Daya: (teary)Mujhe saath nahi le ja sakte the tum? jab mujhe aise kahi jana hota hai, tab to khud chale jate ho, to apne bare mein kyun nahi?
Abhijeet lowered his gaze.
Daya: Kabhi to socha karo, ke hum par kya beetti hai - Please Abhijeet, ab to apna dhyan rakha karo - hum sab ki zindegi tumse judi hui hai -
Abhijeet did not reply, he cupped his face and wiped his tears.
Abhijeet: Tere hote huye mujhe kabhi kuch nahi hoga Daya - yakeen hai mujhe, aur tu bhi yakeen kar! Tera bhai humesha tere saath rahega!
Daya: (wiped his face)Boss, dressing ho gaya, ab tum yehi araam karo, main Shreya ko bolta hun, woh yehi pe tumhara khana lagwa denge-
Abhijeet: Diya aur Adi -
Daya: Nahi, tum sirf aram karoge, aaj no "story" business! And yeh order hai - request nahi
Abhijeet: (with a sigh) OK Boss!
Daya was about to leave - but Abhijeet held his wrist. Daya looked at his questioningly.
Abhijeet: kuch der aur - please?
Daya smiled and sat beside him.
Daya: Tumse to naraz bhi nahi raha jata mujhse!
He was rubbing Abhijeet's forehead gently, while Abhijeet closed his eyes with soothe.
Daya: Bhabi kaal shaam tak aa jayengi Abhi...
Abhijeet opened his eyes instantly, his face brightened!
Abhijeet: Tujhe kaise pata chala?
Daya:(wink) Salunkhe Sir se - (seroius) ab bas tum aram karo, main tumhare liye khana lata hun...
Daya left without giving him any time to reply.
After dinner Shreya came to his room.
Shreya: Jeej, aap Daya ko bhej kyun diya? Woh aaj yehi reh jate to thik rehta -
Abhijeet: Shreya, tu itni fikr kyun kar rahi hai? main bilkul thik hun - aur mujhe agar koi bhi problem hoga, to main bula lunga na tum dono ko - tum kahi dur to nahi ho! Phir kyun sochti hai?
Shreya: (concern) Aap ko dard hua to? aap kisiko kaha batate kuch? woh Di hota to aur baat hai -
Abhijeet: Arre! yeh kaisi baat hai! Main sirf Tarika ko kehta hun? tum logo ko nahi?
Shreya: Nahi, aap to kisi se bhi kuch nahi kehte - Meri Di hi special hai, jo woh samjh leti hai- ek woh hai, aur ek hai aap ka bhai - bas yeh dono ka to adat hai na! warna aap ka bas chale to duniya se sirf chupate hi rahenge!
Abhijeet was hearing Shreya's sweet complaining tones with smile.
Shreya: aap ko hasi aa rahi hai! Acha, choriye, mujhe yeh sab nahi pata, aap akele nahi soyenge aaj - aur yeh FINAL hai!
She left the room.
Abhijeet: (to himself)Kamaal hai, iss ghar me siwaye meri, sab ka order hi Final hai! jab bhi dekho daant raha hai! Main kya bacha hun!
"tumhe lagta hai tum bachche se kuch badhkar ho?"
Abhijeet instantly turned with this voice.
Abhijeet: (excited as well as surprised) TUM! Kab ayi? aur kuch bataya kyun nahi? aur tum to kal ane wali thi! Daya ko to -
Tarika: Shhhhh! Abhi! Daya ko maine hi bola tha, tumhe waise kehne ko, taa ki hum tumhe surprise de sake!
