AUTHOR'S NOTE: THANK TO ALL MY FRIENDS FOR SUPPORTING ME.. THANKS A LOT..

THE STORY:

Daya was laughing.. and Acp sir with sad face was looking at him..

Daya: sab ko.. sab ko sab pata tha.. pata nehi tha to kise.. jiska jindegi se jura hua tha itna sab kuch.. wah.. achha hai..

Acp sir: beta.. dekho tum humse naraz na ho.. is sab ke piche ek kahani hai.. tum sunoge to...

Daya: mai sununga to mai unka bhai ban jaunga? haa? agar aisa hai.. to sunaiye mujhe.. mai sunna chahta hu..

Acp sir looked down..

Daya(smiled sadly): nehi na.. to mat sunaiye.. please..

Acp sir: Daya.. tumahi maa...

Daya: mujhe rest karna hai sir.. mai bohot thaka hua hu..

Acp sir could not say anything listening this sir.. Daya closed his eyes.. and looking not at all interested to hear anything else..

Acp sir sighed and came out.. saw Abhijeet was crying resting his head on his chachu's shoulder.. and Salunkhe sir was looking at him helplessly..

Abhijeet(in that hug.. crying): Daya ko kya ho gaya hai chachu? wo mujhse thik se baat bhi nehi kar raha hai.. agar wo bilkul bhi baat na karta na.. to thik tha..

mai mana hi leta use.. par wo baat kar raha hai.. par chachu.. mera chotasa bhai wala baat nehi kar raha hai.. ek ajnabee ke tarha baat kar raha hai.. aab mai

kya karu? aap batao na.. aab mai kya karu?

Salunkhe sir(to himself): ab sayed mujhe hi kuch karna parega.. kisi bhi tarha Daya ko pura sach batana hi hoga.. (to Abhijeet) Abhijeet.. filhaal hume sayed

Daya ko thora space dena chahiye..

Abhijeet separated.. and looked at him..

Abhijeet: matlab use akela chorna chahiye?

Salunkh sir: nehi.. bilkul nehi.. hum usse baat karenge.. par woh jo bhi bolega.. hum man lenge.. dhire dhire uska ghaw bharne lagega.. to khud ko sambhal

payega.. aur humse dour jane wala Daya.. firse humare pas aa jayega..

Abhijeet(eagerly): aisa hoga kya?

Salunkhe sir: jaroor hoga.. all the four present there smiled..

three days passed.. but there was no change in Daya's behavior..

Acp sir: yaaar Salunkhe.. tumhe nehi lagta ki humara faisla galat tha.. hum Daya ko sapce dene ke naam usse aur bhi dur ho rehe hai.. is bar (stressing) hum..

usse dur ho rehe hai..

Salunkhe sir: hmm.. sayed ho rehe hai..

Acp sir(irritatingly): Salunkhe.. yeh kya bakwas hai? hum usse dur ho rehe hai.. aur tujhe koi fikar nehi.. Abhijeet roj ro raha hai.. Daya roj ro raha hai.. par

hume dikha nehi raha hai.. hume to kabhi bhi nehi dikhata tha.. par aab to wo Abhijeet se bhi aapna aansu chupa raha hai.. aur tu yaha...

Salunkhe sir: boss.. shant..

Acp sir: aare kya shant?

Salunkhe sir: Pradyuman.. baat suno..

Acp sir: suna..

Salunkhe sir: dekho.. Daya humse bohot naraz tha..

Acp sir: hai bhi..

Salunkhe sir: ok.. thik hai.. naraz hai.. par woh sirf naraz nehi hai.. usse jyada woh hurt hai.. sach chupane par.. usse na batane par.. maine jab use sara sach

bataya to usne...

Acp sir: kya? Daya ne suna?

Salunkhe sir: haa.. suna.. kal maine use sara sach bata dia..

Acp sir: phir?

Salunkhe sir: phir bolne laga..

FLASHBACK:

Daya: oh.. matlab day 1 se hum bojh hai unpar.. jab meri aapni maa thi.. tab bhi hum unpe bojh the.. phir jab woh chali gayi.. tab bhi mai unpar boh ban kar

rehe geye..

Salunkhe sir: Daya.. kya tumhe aisa lagta hai? tumhe to aapni maa yaad nehi hai.. par Aakansha to tumhe yaad hai na.. kya tumhe lagta hai.. ki bas jimmedari

nibhane ke liye tumse itna payar karti thi.. aur.. aur Abhijeet.. khud se jyada payar karta hai tumhe beta.. tum kyu aisa soch rehe ho?

Daya: par yeh payar mei mera koi haq to nehi hai na.. agar Bhaiya ka koi aapna bhai hota.. saga bhai.. to yeh payar uske liye tha.. to thik tha.. par mai to woh

nehi hu.. mai koi bhi nehi hu..

Salunkhe sir: Daya.. rishta khoon se nehi.. dil se jurta hai..

Daya: jhutse bhi rishta jurta hai kya?

Salunkhe sir: maine tumhe sab bataya na.. kis halat mei the tum.. kyu nehi bataya gaya tha tumhe..

Daya: haa.. par aab to bohot saal bit chuka hai na.. baad mei kabhi keh dete bhaiya mujhse.. aap sochiye.. jinse mai jaan se jyada payar karta hu.. aapna sab

kuch manta hu.. yeh rishta sirf mere liye rishta nehi tha.. use badh kar tha.. aur ek din koi aa kar.. koi bahar wala kehta hai ki us rishte ki booniyad hi jhuta hai..

to kaisa feeling hota hai..

pata hai.. mai humesha bhaiya se puchta tha.. (smiled in tears) kiska bhaiya? bhaiya bolte the.. Daya ka bhaiya.. phir mai puchta tha.. aur kiska.. to woh bolte

the aur kisika nehi..

(crying) mujhe kya pata tha ki aur kisika hi.. par mera nehi..

Salunkhe sir: Daya..

Daya: itna aasan nehi hota hai manna.. jita kehna hota hai.. chachu.. aagar bhaiya mere pas aake yeh sab batate na.. to mai aisa nehi karta.. mujhe bura

lagta.. jaroor lagta.. mai bohot rota.. phir bhi bhaiya se jake gale lag jata.. par nehi.. itni bari baat.. (with hatred) us.. us Naresh se janna para mujhe.. aapne

aankho dekhna para ki mera aasli baap hai kaisa.. ek taraf Paa.. aur ek taraf wo.. chi..

ek jhatke mei meri jindegi idher se udher ho gaya..

Salunkhe sir: aisa na kaho Daya..

Daya: aap bataiye na.. kya hai mera? jo nehi tha.. woh bhaiya ne pura kar dia tha.. aap jo khalipan bhaiya ne khud banaya hai.. use kaun pura karega? bhaiya

to mere bhaiya the na.. to usne aisa kyu kia? usne sab sach mujhse kyu nehi kaha?

mujhe pata hai unhone kyu nehi kaha.. daar tha unhe.. kahi mai unhe galat na samjhu..

yeh kya sabit hoti hai? unhe kabhi mujh par biswas hi nehi tha.. mere payar par yakeen hi nehi tha.. rehega bhi kyu? mai thori na unka khud ka bhaihu.. hu to

ek besahara larka..

PRESENT:

Acp sir: Daya ne.. itna kuch keh dia tujhse?

Salunkhe sir(nodded in yes): hmm.. pata hai boss.. yeh sab batate hue kitna ro raha tha humara Daya..

Acp sir: aab hum kya kare?

Salunkhe sir: dekho.. Daya ne humare liye dil ki darwaza band kar dia hai.. aab hum us darwaze ko nehi khol payenge.. jab tak na Daya khud wo darwaza

kholega.. Abhijeet bhi nehi..

isliye mai aisa chahta hu boss.. Daya samjhe ki hum log usse kitna payar karte hai.. Abhijeet usse kitna payar karta hai.. hum humara feeling uske samne

express karenge to wo use fake lagega.. use lagega ki (remembering Daya's words) ek besahare larke par ehsaan jata rehe hai hum..

use khud samjne do.. ki sirf hum nehi.. wo bhi humse kitna payar karta hai..

Acp sir: mujhe bohot darr lag raha hai yaar..

Salunkhe siraptting his shoulder): sab kuch thik ho jayega yaar.. aakhiur wo hai to humara Daya hi na..

Acp sir smiled a little..

IN HOSPITAL..

Daya(shouting): mujhe nehi khana matlab nehi khana..

Nurse: ok thik hai.. mat khaiye.. par yeh soup to pi lijiye..

Daya: what? what do you mean by pi lijiye.. mujhe na khana hai.. na pina hai.. now just get lost..

Nurse: par.. aapko pina hi parega.. nehi to aap thik kaise honge? sirf medicines se kaam nehi chalega..

Daya(irritatingly): hey bhagwannn.. achha thik hai.. aap rakhhe jaiye.. (stressing) pi lunga mai..

Nurse: par sir.. aapka right hand movement allowed nehi hai.. mujhe hi aapko pilana parega..

Daya(shouting): aare kaha na.. jaiye yaha se.. jinhe aana tha.. wohi nehi aaya.. aagayi yeh meri sewa karne.. mujhe kuch nehi...

"kya ho raha hai"?

Nurse(looking at the person): Abhijeet sir.. aap aageye..

Abhijeet: kya hua hai?

Daya stopped shouting immediately seeing him.. Abhijeet got the matter..

Abhijeet: laiye.. mujhe dijiye..

Nurse smiled.. and handed over the soup bowl to him.. and went out..

Daya looked at Abhijeet.. and felt very much sad.. as that charming Abhijeet was missing to whom Daya "Handu bhaiya".. he was looking so much pale..

Abhijeet: pi kyu nehi rehe the?

Daya (in angry but low tone): mujhe nehi pina..

Abhijeet: kyu jan sakta hu?

Daya: nehi..

Abhijeet sighed..

Abhijeet: thora sa pi lo.. please..

Daya looked at him hearing that please.. which was unknown to him..

Abhijeet: mere liye nehi.. khudke liye hi pilo.. thik hona hai na?

Daya eyes turned teary.. he wanted to take the bowl.. but felt a pain in his hand.. and one "aahh" came out..

Abhijeet(concerned): kya kar raha hai bhai? dhire.. haat hata.. mai pila deta hu..

that tear drop rolled down.. he rubbed his cheek in his shirt..

Abhijeet: muh kholo Daya..

Daya opened his mouth.. and Abhijeet fed him..

Daya(thinking): pata nehi kya ho gaya hai bhaiya ko.. itna pale kyu hai.. na jane kya chipa rehe hai aandar hi aandar.. chachu kar kya rehe hai? samjh nehi

rehe hai kya ki yeh aadmi thik nehi hai.. mai kya kar sakta hu? aapna khyal nehi rakhenge to mera kya? mai thori na kuch lagta hu inka..

he heard..

Abhijeet: muh kholo..

Daya again opened his mouth.. he noticed.. Abhijeet eyes were red..

Daya: oh no.. aankhe to lal ho gayi hai.. matlab.. sar dard hai.. bukhar bhi ho sakti hai.. aab kya karu?

Abhijeet: ho gaya hai.. he kept the bowl.. and said..

Abhijeet: mai Nurse ko bejh deta hu.. woh tumhe dawa de denge..

he waited for some reply.. but no..

Abhijeet: thik mai chalta hu.. saying so he started walkinh to move out..

Daya closed his eyes..

Daya(thinking): haa.. jaiye.. mat rahiye mere pas.. aab pata chal raha hai.. kitna bara musibat tha mai inke liye.. aaj bhaiya free..

Abhijeet stopped and turned behind.. saw closed eyes of Daya..

Abhijeet: galat nehi tha na mai Daya.. mujhe pata tha.. aab tujhe mera presence bhi achha nehi lagta.. pehele kabhi tu mujhe aise jane nehi dia.. (smiled

sadly).. thik hai nehi aaunga fir.. par kaise rahunga tujhe dekhe bina?

kyu nehi rahunga? abhi bhi to reh raha hu na.. corridor pe baitha rehta hu.. aata nehi hu na tere pas.. kitna kaam kae dia tere se milna.. ek din band bhi

kardunga..

he bit his lips so that his crying voice did not come out..

he moved out..

FRIENDS.. SAY HOW WAS THIS.. SORRY FOR MY MISTAKES..
