The next morning started when he heard a soft call...he looked lazily and smiled...he was feeling an unknwn happiness...

Dhruv:chopp!phle pure class apke love story to sune..phirr naa...
Abhi was sitting with down head...he knew that nothing can prevent stubborn Dhruv..
Dhruv started...
"Mera pyara golu...(he laughed hard...all others too...Daya was standing looking down)
Pata nahi tu kaisa hai...beta hum tere bina bilkul khush nahi hai yaha...(his voice turned low now...)be...beta tere baapuji ko dil ki bimaari ho gaya hai...unhe bachana bhi shayd..."
Before he continue further Abhijeet snatched it nd gave it to Daya...he was feeling really angry...
Abhi:tum samazte kya ho khudko haan?zara bhi taklif nhi hua tumhe uske jazbaat k saath khelne mein?letter uske maa bheje ya koi aur thts none of ur business Dhruv...(pointed finger)...insaan ho so behave like human...Got this?"
Abhi patted Daya's shoulder nd noticed that his eyes were full of tears...
Abhi:mere dost k taraf se m sorry...plzz tum maaf krdo use...
Daya(teary tone):nhi thik h...(and sat on his desk wth down head)
Abhijeet moved from there...
It was the tiffin time when Abhi was waiting for Dhruv in the canteen...but to his shock Dhruv was sitting with other one..Abhi approached him nd placed his hand on his shoulder...Dhruv looked at him and smiled...
Dhruv:Hey Abhi..meet her...Arohi...my fiancê...nd Arohi...ye h Abhijeet meri team k vice captain...
Abhi smiled..."ohh great...wase tune kabhi bola hi nh inke bare mein...anyways main Dhruv ka dost hu..khass dost...Abhijeet..."

Abhi:wow...great...welcome...
Arohi:thank you so much Abhijeet...
Dhruv:Abhi..wo..excuse me..plz hum..
Abhijeet felt really hurt...but managed nd smiled.."yahh sure...enjoy...bye Dhruv...bye Arohi..."
He moved from there and sat behind a tree...a pair of eyes watched all the scene and heaved a sigh of sadness...
4 pm..
Everyone was on ground...They were practicing so hard for the coming match...everyone was attentive...but due to some mental stress Abhi was not able to concentrate...
Dhruv shouted...Abhi ball pass karrr yaar...
Abhi didnt listen...he was in some other world...lost nd blank...
So Dhruv angrily hit the ball nd it caused Abhi to fall suddenly and he got strain...he cried out in pain...
Where as Dhruv looked at him irritatingly..."yaar ye kya roz ka natak laga rakhe ho tum yaar...nhi khelna h mat khelo but is tarah hume dubao mat..."
Abhi(low tone nd in pain):Dhruv its paining yar...
Dhruv:tumhara ye pain nd all khtm ho jaye to chle jana ghar...(to others)...cmn evryone...guyz we need to practc..chl udhr chlte h...
Abhi was looking at their way...he was holding his foot tightly as he was bearing lot pain...he looked downward and after some mins tried a bit to get up but this hell chot caused him to fall but before he falls two strong arms protected him in the core...
Abhi looked...it was the boring,poor,chasmish,gaaon wala DAYANAND...
Daya slowly pulled him up Nd took him to the bench there...
Daya:apko bht drd ho raha hoga naah...ap bs ruko main abhi baraf leke ayaa...
He ran away...when he came back he saw Abhijeet sitting wth closed eyes...
Daya applied ice nd he flinched...
Daya felt really bad..."so..sorry wo apko lag gaya..bas abhi pain nahi hga agr ye ice compress kardiya to...thoda sa plz..."
Abhi nodded...
Daya was done wth his work.."ho gaya...chaliye dr ko dikha lete hai..."
Abhi:no no plz...yaar m ok...itni si chot k liye dr...no..
Daya:par dard badh sakta hai na...
Abhi:nahi painkiller le lunga na...its ok...

Abhi:main manage kar lunga na...u can leave...thnx...
Daya:ap is hal mein khade nhi ho pa rhe hai...chaliye ayiye thikse...
He took him slowly to the taxistand...Abhijeet was so surprised to see his care...this Abhijeet taunted him so much and now he is concerned for him...
They reached Abhi's place...and Abhijeet opened the door...put on lights and Daya made him sit...
Abhi:tum baitho naa...
Daya:nahi nahi..main yehi thik hun...rukiye apko dawa deta hun...ye lijiye (gave him water nd medcn)...
Abhi smiled..."thnx..m better...tumne sach me bht help kiya aj...nahi to main shyd wohi reh jata..."
Daya too smiled..."aisa...aisa mat boliye...acha apne kuch khaya?darasal dawai aise khali pet lena acha nh h..isliye.."
Abhi rested his head on the back..."ab khana kon banayega...chodo yar..."
Daya thought fr a while then smiled..."han..mrre pas tiffin to hai...aj ek paper solve karne mein waqt lag gaya to khaya nahi...to ap ye rakhiye(opened bag nd gave him the box)...aur kha lijiye ga..wo bs sada roti aur sabzi h..apko bht taklif hoga par aur to koi chahra nhi dikh raha...dukan bhi strike mein bandh hai..."
Abhi was just astonished...by which metal this boy is made?why he is so caring?why?
Daya placed the box on the table and folded hands.."namaste jii..ab chalta hun...dhyan rakhna..."
Abhi's eyes were just stucked at his way...
He smiled in sooth and started eating...
