"Inspector Daya reporting on duty sir!"

All eyes turned to look at the bureau entrance. There stood their new colleague, a well built and tall young man. They all smiled at him with curious eyes but his eyes were searching someone else. Saying that he was disappointed when didn't find him would be an understatement. However, his eyes did sparkle when he saw his father and now, senior as well.

ACP sir gave him a big smile while the lad started taking steps towards his senior. There was a proud feeling inside ACP sir's heart for his son but he can't show it here. After all they aren't allowed to be informal in their working place. They shook hands with each other sharing a meaningful eye contact when ACP sir spoke, "Welcome to CID Mumbai, Inspector Daya."

"Thank you sir." Daya smiled in a formal manner.

ACP looked at all the curious eyes on them. He signalled towards the others, "Come, let me introduce you to others." Daya nodded. A quick, formal introduction was done between them. When they finished, ACP sir called Sachin, one of his officers.

"Sachin, tum Daya ko current cases ke baremein updated karo. Daya, koi confusion ho toh Sachin se puch lena, okay?"

"Sir!" Both said in unison. ACP sir nodded and then moved in his cabin while Sachin addressed Daya towards his desk. They in their respective chairs when Daya's eyes fell on the only empty desk in the bureau. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, wandering where the person can be. Though he shook his head when heard Sachin starting to discuss the current cases. Soon their discussion came to an end.

"Sir, ek baar aap inn files ko padh lijiye. Aapko sab clear ho jaega. Lekin agar fir bhi koi confusion hui toh please mujhse puchegiya." Sachin smiled at him and Daya returned it while saying, "Of course."

Sachin nodded and was going to leave when Daya stopped him, "Ah, ek minute Sachin." Sachin stopped and turned back, "Jee?"

Daya asked hesitantly, "umm, yeh jo desk khali hai, vo officer kahan hai?" He asked while signalling towards the desk on the opposite side.

Sachin looked towards the desk, "Kaun? Abhijeet sir?" Daya nodded so he answered with a smile, "Arey sir vo toh apne khabri se milne gae hue hai, kuch der mein aa jaenge." Daya nodded getting relaxed a bit, resisting the urge to ask for his brothers's number. Yeah, he didn't had his senior's current number 'cause Abhijeet had changed it months before. At that time Daya was already off to police training.

"Ab mai jau sir?" Sachin asked when Daya didn't said anything. Daya looked up at him and nodded so he went away from there. He sat on his new desk with the file in front of him. Shaking away all the negatives, he started going through those files and soon got engrossed.

...

Four Years Ago

"Boss, thake hue lag rahe ho. Coffee lau nichese?" Daya asked with concern on his face. Abhijeet in return just smiled, "No thanks." So, Daya nodded and left the part.

He was eyeing at Abhijeet all the time. Abhijeet looked a bit offbeat today. He was very silent the whole time in the car. It wasn't too hard for them to convince their father of their returning to college. In fact, ACP sir was happy that his sons are settling things between them so Daya was wondering what was actually bothering his brother.

Daya tried to find the charm and confidence in his half brother which he always had but got lost with the passing time. He wondered if he will be able to see that Abhijeet again. A sigh escaped through his mouth as he thought of the past days in their hometown. They were just ignoring that topic as if nothing actually happened. But yes, it all did happened. It was bothering both of them from inside. Daya knew that.

They were in their hostel room, unpacking their stuff when heard a knock on the door. Both Daya and Abhijeet looked at each other in confusion but Daya stepped forward to open the door.

"Kyon bhaisahab, bhul gae hume?" Abhijeet did recognise this voice very well. He shook his head in disappointment with a little smile.

Daya smiled at the person and gave him a brotherly hug. "Kya yaar Aditya tum bhi. Hum toh abhi abhi aae hai. Saman rakhkar tum dono se hi milne aane wale the." Aditya smiled at him and was going to say something when someone interrupted as, "Chodo na Adi, logonko toh phone uthane ki bhi fursat nahi hai. Milne kya khak aaenge!"

Daya looked at his friend with a sad face. Yes, that friend of his did tried to call him several times but Daya was not in a condition to pick those calls up. He didn't even called him back. The only reason of this was the situation he was going through. But one call wouldn't be taking time, would it?

Aditya glared at Daya then gave a look to Rahul. He didn't wanted to interrupt the lads so he moved towards Abhijeet who was watching all that with a smile.

Daya took a step towards Rahul but got completely ignored as Rahul started moving towards Abhijeet. "Hi Abhijeet, kaise ho?" Abhijeet raised his eyebrow but smiled a bit answering, "Mai toh bilkul fit hun, mujhe kya hona hai?"

Rahul cracked a smile again but taunted this time, "Haan, tum toh fit hi ho. Jaise the, vaise hi. Varna kuch log jaise gae the, usse do guna zyada hoke vapas aae hai." He eyed at Daya maintaining his stiffness. Aditya gritted his teeth, "Rahul!" Rahul in return gave him an innocent look like he did nothing wrong.

Daya sighed at his angry friend but then took hold of his arm and started dragging him outside even after getting punches in between. He yelled from outside, "Guys mai thodi der mein aya."

Both Abhijeet and Aditya sighed looking at each other, now sitting on the bed.

"Rahul next year Banglore jaane vala hai Abhijeet." Aditya sighed while saying so.

"Banglore?"

"Bhaisahab doctor banna chahte hai." He smiled cheekily. Abhijeet shook his head too while smiling silently. Abhijeet was still busy with his work and seemed silent so Aditya was going to start a conversation but at the same time his phone buzzed. He squinted at it before opening it. A smile covered his face when he read the message received.

"Jeet, matches ke dates announce ho gae. Mai jaldi se sabhi team members ko yeh forward kar deta hun." Abhijeet asked in confusion, "Matches?"

Aditya stopped working on his phone and stared at his buddy in disbelief, "Tum bhul gae?" Abhijeet knitted his eyebrows, "Kya bhul gaya mai?" Aditya didn't answered it but gave him a meaningful look while folding his arms. It then strike Abhijeet's mind about what his mate was saying.

"Oh shit, talking about Inter-college football competition?" Abhijeet asked looking unsure. Aditya gritted his teeth in anger, "How the hell can you ask that? Of course I am talking about it!"

"Abhi tum kaise bhul sakte ho haan? Maine tumhe do baar yaad dilaya tha yahan aane se pehle."

They both turn their heads to find Daya at the room door. Disappointment clear on his face. The other lad was not there yet so Aditya asked out of confusion when didn't see Rahul, "Daya, Rahul?"

"Vo bhukkad niche canteen mein hai. Mere paise uda raha hai. Tumhara message pada issliye mai upar aya aur fir .." He trailed off signalling towards Abhijeet. "Zarur tum meri baaton par dhyan nahi de rahe the, hai na?"

Abhijeet scratched his head not knowing what to answer. He admitted he was not listening to Daya earlier but he didn't do it purposely. In fact, he was so lost with his own thoughts that he didn't even knew Daya was talking with him.

Both were looking at him but when he didn't bothered to answer they shared a look and Aditya spoke while patting his back, "Forget it. Bhul gae toh bhul gae. Bas aaj practice ke liye aa jana, haan?"

Abhijeet rolled his eyes in frustration, "Adi mai nahi aane vala hun practice ke liye."

"Kyun? Kahi jana hai?" Daya asked in confusion. "Nahi Daya mai.." He started but trailed off making the two worried.

"Abhi baat kya hai?"

Abhijeet spoke hesitantly, "Adi, Daya mai football team chodna chahta hun."Daya looked at him with raised eyebrows while Aditya furrowed his eyebrows at his best mate in shock and confusion.

"Lekin kyun Jeet? Yaar ek do mahine mein hi inter-college competition hai. Tum aise achanak kaise.."

He was interrupted by Abhijeet as, "Mujhe pata hai yaar aur issiliye mai yeh team chod raha hun."

Aditya didn't get it but a little anger took place in his eyes. "Mai kuch samjha nahi. Pichle teen saal iss team ko lead karne ke baad tum ab chahto ho ki yeh team tum chod do haan?" Abhijeet looked away while he continued, "Koi nahi. Tum bas kuch zyada hi stress le rahe ho inn chizon ka. Thoda aram karo, fir theek ho jaoge."

Abhijeet looked at him tiredly, "Adi, mai nahi khelna chahta ab football. Mera mann nahi lagega vahan."

Daya tried once again, "Par Abhijeet.." Abhijeet interrupted him with, "Please Daya."

Aditya sighed heavily keeping his hands on his waist. There was an uncomfortable silence in the room for a while before Abhijeet spoke again, "Tum dono mein se koi team lead karna chahega?"

Daya and Aditya both glanced at each other. Before anyone else can speak, Daya spoke, "Nahi Abhi, mai team lead karna nahi chahta. Mujhe lagta hai, Aditya yeh team.." He shared gaze with Aditya and then smiled wholeheartedly, "..mujhse zyada achese lead kar sakta hai. He deserves it."

Abhijeet smiled in satisfaction but Aditya looked disturbed, "Magar Daya, mai kaise?"

Daya raised his eyebrow, "Kya 'mai kaise?'. Tum mujhse kai guna zyada ache khelte ho aur yeh competition khatam hone ke baad mai bhi yeh team chodne vala hun."

Aditya glanced over at Abhijeet who was also looking confused, "Kya? Magar kyun?"

Daya grinned cheekily, "Boss, mai firse boxing join karne vala hun. Ab uske liye waqt bitaunga toh iskeliye time kahan se milega?"

Both smiled at him when at the same time Aditya got a phone call so he left from their after waving a 'bye'. No sooner did Aditya went away than Abhijeet's phone buzzed. He knew exactly who it would be. He looked at Daya sharing a brief eye contact before taking the cell in hands.

His eyes tensed up a little after reading the mail received. He looked up only to find Daya starring at him with questions in his eyes. He gulped before answering, "Mai bhi firse shooting start karna chahta hun issliye maine inter-college shooting competition keliye apply kiya tha. Next week selection hai."

Daya's eye soften while his lips parted. "Boss, are you sure?" Abhijeet nodded with a smile, "I am"

Daya grinned widely embracing his brother, "Mai tumhare liye bahot khush hun." Abhijeet patted his back saying silently, "Mai bhi."

Daya asked when they seprated, "Par tumne apply kab kiya?"

Abhijeet scratched his neck, "Umm, yaad hai mai uss din laptop par kuch kar raha tha?" Daya nodded, "Oh, toh vo yeh tha." Abhijeet shrugged.

"Tum itni der sirf yehi kar rahe the." Daya asked looking disappointed. Abhijeet spoke while doing something on his cell, "Nope."

"Fir?"

"Future plannings."

"Kya?" Daya asked again looking confused.

Abhijeet smirked at him saying the same words again, "Future planning." With that he shrugged and got up with the room keys. "Frankie?"

Daya looked at the time. It was almost lunch time, "Iss waqt?"

Abhijeet spoke casually, "Kyun? Bhai mai khila raha hun. Aur waise bhi tumhare paise Rahul ne khatam kar.."

"SHIT!"

Present Time

When his brother had said Future Plannings, Daya didn't knew that it was about his career. He merely thought it was about some savings to buy something new. And though he was happy, a part of him was sad as well. Today, he saw Abhijeet after two long years.

A knock on ACP sir's cabin door brought him back to the current scenario. Oh wow! He was really engrossed in his work. He smiled at himself when heard, "Sir uss admi ka pata chal gaya hai. Adhe ghante mein vo flight se ravana hone ki tayari mein hai. Hume turant vahan chalna chahiye."

His head snapped up hearing a familiar voice. And there was he, all in his officer's mode. Daya noticed some changes in his brother. His attire was simple, a white shirt with a black coat and a black jeans, though he looked stunning. He was even taller than before and looked more healthy and confident. But what Daya wanted was still lost. He sighed heavily and stood up when saw others gathering around their seniors.

Abhijeet was unaware of Daya being there as he had his back towards Daya. ACP sir ordered while moving out himself, "Rajat, Purvi, Sachin, tum log chalo hum dono ke saath, baki sab yehi ruko." All nodded while Rajat, Purvi and Abhijeet followed him out.

Daya's all hopes again started shattering when saw Abhijeet moving out without even knowing he was here. He pouted sadly and was going to go back at his desk when stopped abruptly hearing, "Inspector Daya, abhi aapka aur humara introduction hua nahi. Mere aane tak intezar karna."

He looked at the bureau door with wide eyes and open mouth. To say he was shocked would be an understatement. Abhijeet in return just winked at him and closed the door while going out. This time Daya got what he wanted. The long lost charm was back again. He smiled at himself.

They had already moved on.

When you let go, you create space for something better.

A/N Don't know how it was. I tried my best to end it in a good way. I just hope it wasn't too sick.
