The evidence was saying that I am the culprit...My blank brain and helpless heart also started to believe it...
But what if I am a victim...
Wait...
Who am I?...The Culprit or Victim...
CHAPTER 14: THE FINAL VERDICT
Abhijeet (in an extremely drowsy tone): I...am...sorry...but...Good...Good...bye...aap...na...aap...na...kha..yal...rakh...na...sab...(after a pause)...I...I...miss...you...all...
While saying this itself Abhijeet who became totally exhausted slides completely on the floor losing all his strength...
Everyone started to panic seeing that and started to shout his name in pain...
Abhijeet tried to look at his lovable brother and family once again...but his eyes didn't co-operate...
It turned more and more heavy with each passing second...
He felt like being pulled into the darkness with each second...
The last thing he saw was his brother's pain filled face which was completely drenched in tears...
He while capturing his brother's face closed his eyes completely...
Daya who was struggling with the seal became frozen in shock seeing that...
He became completely numb seeing his brother's closed eyes...
Everyone became frozen except the timer of the bomb which was moving at a fast pace as...
10...
9...
8...
7...
6...
5...
4...
3...
2...
1...
BOOOOOMMMMMMMM...
The bomb got blasted with a loud sound...
The radioactive material too blasted along with it...
The total explosion seems to be illuminated indicating the explosion of the radioactive material...
Seeing an explosion this close was a horrible experience...
Yes...seeing...because it was confined only to the eyes...
Yes...the explosion trapper has successfully trapped the explosion...
The explosion got trapped inside the vault itself...
Everyone standing outside the vault went into a frozen state seeing the intensity of the explosion...
They felt like their breath got stuck in their lungs...
They couldn't breathe out for even a single time...
Their hearts were bouncing hard inside the ribcage...
They couldn't gasp anything as their mind went numb...
Daya's condition was also the same...
He went totally numb seeing the intensity of the explosion...
His body started to shiver badly out of the traumatization...
He while shivering a lot looked at his brother whom he was holding tightly...
Yes...his brother...Abhijeet...
Without even trying to breathe he hugged Abhijeet tightly out of fear...
Flashback...
While everyone was looking at Abhijeet in a complete frozen state and the timer was showing only 10 seconds...Sharvan exclaimed as...
Sharvan (in a loud tone): sir...security system ko 5 second ke liye hack Kiya hai maine...jaldi se Abhijeet sir ko bahar nikaliye...
Daya who was looking at his brother in a complete lifeless state jerked badly and looked at Sharvan in a perplexed way hearing his words...
ACP and others too looked at Sharvan with the same expression...
Sharvan (in a loud tone): sir...mai khol raha hu...make it fast...
Saying this he did something in his tab following which the seal covering the entrance of the vault got open...
Sharvan (in a hurry): sir...jaldi...
Daya who got an unknown strength seeing that...literally jumped over and pulled Abhijeet out of the vault without wasting a single second...
In the next second the seal got closed following which the bomb got blasted with a loud tone...
Flashback ends...
Sharvan slid on the wall while sighing deeply in relief...
ACP and Salunke somehow revived themselves from the shock and looked at each other in an emotional way...
They hugged each other in relief while others too did the same out of relief...
They were about to thank Sharvan who stopped them and nodded his head in negative...
Everyone looked at him with a emotional yet thankful eyes...
Their emotional trial was broken by the abrupt realization of the life less Abhijeet they saw a few minutes back...
Realizing that they turned towards Duo and became broken seeing the scenario...
Daya who was looking totally traumatized was just increasing his grip over Abhijeet more and more while shivering badly indicating how much he was engulfed by the fear...
ACP and others exchanged a glance in pain seeing his state...
They could really understand his fear and pain seeing his brother in such a dreadful condition...
ACP moved towards Daya and knelled down beside him with...
ACP (in a stammering tone): Daya...beta...
Daya who was totally out of sense didn't respond back...
He was shivering badly while gripping his brother tightly...
Seeing which ACP pressed Daya's shoulder with...
ACP (in a stammering tone): Daya...mere...mere...baat suno...
Daya jerked a bit with that and looked at ACP with an unsaid expression...
Then he turned towards Abhijeet in his lap in a hurry as if realizing something...
He started to pat his brother's cheek in complete distress with...
Daya (in a stammering tone): Abhijeet... Abhijeet...mere bhai...aanke kholo...dekho mujhe...Abhijeet...
Seeing Abhijeet not responding Daya started to panic more...
He started to jerk Abhijeet vigorously while breathing heavily as...
Daya (in fear): tum...aise nahi kar sakthe mere saath...utho Abhijeet...utho...
Seeing Daya panicking much ACP while gripping his emotions pressed Abhijeet's wrist hoping to feel some pulsation...
But his own pulsation itself stopped for a second feeling nothing in Abhijeet's wrist...
ACP felt a ray of shock passed through his spine and looked at Salunke as a reflex in fear...
Salunke who understood ACP's gaze moved towards Duo and ACP in a hurry...
He too checked Abhijeet's pulsation in wrist and neck but couldn't find anything...
Salunke looked at ACP in a horror whose eyes turned teary in seconds understanding the meaning of that look...
Yes...they understood that Abhijeet has left them forever...
Tears started to flow from their eyes realizing the reality...
Seeing the oldie Duo's broken state others too understand the fact...
They felt like their heart would blast out at anytime feeling the truth...
They too started to shed tears feeling that extreme pain of losing their dearly Abhijeet sir...
Oldie Duo turned towards Daya in pain hearing his painful pleas and jerks to wake up his lifeless brother...
ACP held Daya's shoulder tightly with...
ACP (in a teary tone): Daya beta...bas kar...mere baat suno...Daya...
Daya didn't stop he continued to jerk his brother vigorously with...
Daya (in teary tone): Boss...utho...utho na yaar...
ACP looked at Salunke in helplessness who tried as...
Salunke (in a teary tone): Daya...yeh sab kar ne se...koi fyada nahi hai beta...humare baat ko samjho...tum...
Daya didn't pay any single heed to their words...
He continued his trials to wake up Abhijeet...
Seeing Daya's adamant act...Salunke who couldn't suppress his emotions anymore expelled out as...
Salunke (in a loud tone): stop it Daya...bandh karo yeh khoshsis...Abhijeet nahi uthega Daya...nahi uthega wo...wo...wo...hume chod ke Jaa chuka hai...he is dead...Daya...he is dead...
Daya stopped abruptly and looked at Salunke in horror...
He while holding Abhijeet more tightly...
Daya (in a stammering tone): yeh...yeh...aap...kya bakwas kar rahe ho Doctor sahab...mere Bhai...maara nahi hai...wo jinda hai...jinda hai wo...
Saying this he started to jerk Abhijeet with...
Daya (in a teary tone): Abhijeet...utho na yaar...dekho na mujhe...tum chup kyu ho...utho... Abhijeet...
Getting no response from Abhijeet fear started to grip Daya's heart...
His brain started to understand reality slowly...
But his heart didn't want the reality to be true...
He started to shake Abhijeet more vigorously with...
Daya (in stammering tone): uth jaa Abhijeet...uth jaa...tum...tum mujhe chod ke nahi jaa sakthe...nahi jaa sakthe tum...please uth Jaa na yaar...please...
He held Abhijeet's face gently with...
Daya (in broken tone): please...aanke kholo Boss...please...mere saath aise mat kar mere yaar...mai...nahi...uth...jaa...please...uth...
Daya stopped abruptly feeling a lump in his throat...
He couldn't cope up with his overflowing emotions which was blasting out of pain...
He started to cry bitterly and loudly while embracing his brother with his heart tightly...
His crying sound pierced the whole place and the hearts of the people standing around him...
They too started to cry bitterly while looking at the lifeless Abhijeet...
Everyone started to pour out their pain in the form of tears...
Daya who was crying out of heart while hugging Abhijeet felt a jerk in his brother's body all of sudden...
Feeling the jerk he felt a cold rush in his spine and he separated Abhijeet from the hug as a reflex...
Again Abhijeet's body jerked while a little breath and blood escaped his mouth...
Daya who was trapped in the emotional turmoil couldn't react for a second...
His heart bounce hard seeing movement in Abhijeet which indicates that he was still alive...
He somehow dragged himself out of the turmoil held his brother's cheek with trembling hands as...
Daya (in stammering tone): Abhijeet...yaar...
Hearing Daya's call everyone jerked out of their pain filled aura and looked at Abhijeet who was jerking intermittently...
They all looked at each other in relieving pleasure seeing him responding...
But their pleasure was short lived seeing Abhijeet coughing out while expelling some blood through mouth...
Daya held his brother's cheek in fear and worry as a reflex with...
Daya (in fear): Abhijeet...Boss...kya hua tume...
Salunke somehow revived himself from the shock and checked Abhijeet's pulsation again with...
Salunke (in worry): Daya... Abhijeet utho...isske halat bahot nausak hai...jaldi se hospital le jaa naa hoga...
Daya nodded in complete distress and rushed out of the place while lifting Abhijeet in a hurry and tension...
Four months later...
At the hospital...
Daya entered the hospital with tired steps and then moved into an ICU...
His steps stopped at the door step itself as usual seeing his brother lying on the bed with closed eyes and pale face...
His body was attached with lots of equipment which was making sounds in a rhythm indicating that the person was still alive...
Daya sighed painfully seeing the scenario as he was seeing the same for the past 4 months...
Yes...for the past 4 months Abhijeet was in the same condition...
Even though the doctors succeeded in saving Abhijeet's life they couldn't stop him from slipping into a deep coma...
The heavy blood loss occurred has cut off the blood supply to the brain for some time which pushed Abhijeet into coma...
Everyone felt heartbroken hearing this news from the doctors...
At first no one could digest the fact but they all were forced to compromise their mind with the thought that at least Abhijeet was still alive...
What else could they do other than compromising with their mind...
They knew that the coma was not a thing from which a person could wake up easily...
So they all started to pray and wait for Abhijeet to wake up...
But as usual Daya neither compromises nor gives up...
He was making all the efforts to wake up his brother from the coma...
He was talking with him daily for the past 4 months believing that his brother would respond some day...
Daya entered the ICU after filling some air inside his lungs...
After sending Pankaj who was sitting with Abhijeet till his arrival Daya moved towards his brother and sat beside him on the stool...
He while ruffling Abhijeet's hair softly started in a fresh tone as...
Daya (in soft tone): Good morning Boss...kaise ho yaar...
Assuming no response from his brother he continued as...
Daya (in sad tone): of course theek hi hoge tum...itne aaram se so tho rahe ho itne mahino se...(in stammering tone)...thoda sa bhi uth ne ka Mann nahi kar raha hai na tume...haan...
He paused while looking at his brother who was lying with no reaction...
He sighed painfully and while gulping his tears initiated as...
Daya (in a managed tone): accha...wo chodo...ek acchi news sunno tume...wo Vikram ne ke dream project hai na wo explosion control kar ne ke research center...usska kaam lag bak pura hogaya hai...agle mahine inauguration hai usska...
Daya while holding Abhijeet's hand firmly...
Daya (in soft tone): aur patha hai humare government ne uss research center ko Vikram ka hi naam rakha hai...upar se inauguration ke din...bravery ke liye...Vikram ko, tume aur hum sab ko monuments de ne wale hai...
Daya paused for a second in the trial to cope with his emotions...but he couldn't...
Tears welled up in his eyes even after his trials to restrict it...
He while holding Abhijeet's hand more firmly with...
Daya (in a teary tone): itna sab accha horaha hai...Vikram ka sapna pura horaha hai...agar wo hotha tho khushi mai pagal hojaatha...magar...magar kismat dekho na Boss...khush hone ke liye naa Vikram hai...aur naa hi tum khush hone ke halat mai ho...
Daya while trying to control his tears...
Daya (in broken tone): aise kyu kar rahe ho tum dono mere saath...ek ne mujhe humesha ke liye chod ke chala gaya...aur dusra tum itne mahino se lambi neend mai le the huye ho...aur mai yahan akele...dard mai...
Daya stopped abruptly as the tears choked his throat...
Daya (in broken tone): 4 mahine hogaya hai...Abhijeet...4 mahine...kab se keha Raha hu ki uth jaa...uth jaa...magar tum...kya itne dino ke aaram kafi nahi hai tume...haan...
Daya while trying to cope up with his irregular sinuses...
Daya (in broken tone): Doctor ne mujh se kaha tha ki tumara coma se bahar aane ka chances bahot hi Kam hai...par maine kaha tha ki mere bhai mujhe dard mai nahi dekh saktha...wo mere awaz sunn ke...mere aanso pauch ne ke liye jarur uthega...lekin mai...mai...galat tha Abhijeet...tume tho farak hi nahi padh Raha hai mere aanso se...
Tears started to flow at a speed from his eyes...
Daya (in broken tone): mai Roz roz taras raha hu...maar Raha hu...tume theek dekh ne ke liye...tumare awaz sunn ne ke liye...tum se baat kar ne ke liye...par tum tho uth hi nahi rahe ho yaar...kyu aise sata rahe ho mujhe...kyu yaar...kyu...
Daya while grabbing Abhijeet's hand near his heart...
Daya (in broken tone): uth jaa na mere bhai...please uth jaa...mai tume...tume aise dekh hi nahi paa rahe hu...yeh tumare khamoshi mujhe pal pal maar Raha hai...mai maar raha hu pal pal...aur barthas nahi horaha hai mujhse...nahi horaha...please uth jaa yaar...apne bhai ke liye uth jaa...please...yaar...please...
Saying this he started to cry bitterly while hugging Abhijeet's hand which he was holding near his heart as usual...
Yes...as usual...this has been his daily routine for the past 4 months...
But his pain...his cry never reached his brother these days...
Suddenly the monitoring equipment attached to Abhijeet's body started to make sounds...
Daya who was crying out of heart looked at monitoring machines in jerk hearing the sound...
Before Daya could gasp anything Abhijeet started to breathe heavily and deeply...
Daya who became completely distressed seeing that...
Daya (in distress): Abhijeet...kya...hua... Abhijeet...
Seeing Abhijeet breathing more heavily Daya started to panic...
He rushed out to call the doctor in complete distress and hurry...
Within a few minutes Daya came back with the doctor...
The doctor started to check Abhijeet with a serious face...
After analyzing all the vitals the doctor took an injection and injected it into Abhijeet's vein...
Daya who couldn't hold his fear asked out as...
Daya (in fear): Doctor...kya hua mere bhai ko...wo aise kyu...
Doctor (in a managed tone): Daya sir...relax...lag tha hai Abhijeet ji coma se bahar aarahe hai...issliye aise...
Daya's eyes widened by hearing the doctor's words...
He couldn't believe his own ears...in fact he couldn't believe the doctor's words...
Daya (in a stammering tone): kya...aap...yeh...Sach...sach...mai...
Yes...he couldn't believe...what else he could expect from his innocent broken heart which has literally started to loss all belief to get back his brother seeing him in the same state for the past 4 months...
The doctor who could understand Daya's feelings just nodded positively with...
Doctor (in polite tone): haan sir...sach mai...yeh...aap khud dekhiye na...
Daya turned towards his brother in the same shocked state whose eye balls started to move slowly within the sealed eye sockets...
Yes...the doctor was right...his brother was coming to consciousness...
Finally...finally after the painful wait for 4 months his brother has responded...
Daya while chuckling in excitement held Abhijeet's hand and started to stare at him in extreme happiness...
Abhijeet slowly opened his eyes and tried to look around...
But nothing was clear to him...he could get the blurred vision of his brother and a stranger...
He started his trials to make his vision better by blinking as usual...
After gaining some better vision he turned slowly and looked at his brother who was looking at him with a teary eyes...
Seeing which he smiled a bit with...
Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): Daya...tum...
He stopped abruptly as his brain hammered him something...
Wait...wait...how was he seeing his brother?
He could remember the last incident that happened...
He could remember how he lost himself in that sealed chamber itself...
He thought that he was seeing his brother for the last time and couldn't see him forever...
But now he was seeing him?...How?
Was he alive?
But how?
Daya who was looking at Abhijeet with teary yet happy eyes frowned a bit seeing Abhijeet's confused yet worried face...
But soon he realized the reason behind confusion in Abhijeet's face...
Seeing that Daya's mind traveled back to the scene that happened 4 months ago...
The wound in his heart got revived in seconds as it was already throbbing badly out of pain...
His heart started to ache remembering how Abhijeet sealed himself behind the vault and remained adamant throughout until he fell in darkness...
Slowly his heart and brain started to boil remembering everything and especially seeing Abhijeet's current confused gaze...
The confused gaze was clearly saying that Abhijeet was thinking that how he was still alive...
Extreme happiness of Daya was turned into extreme anger and disappointment seeing his brother's gesture...
He couldn't control his anger which got expelled out as...
Daya (in stern tone): maare nahi ho tum...jinda hi ho...abhi tak...
Abhijeet jerked a bit and looked at Daya who was looking at him with a fiery gaze...
Even the doctor got jerked hearing Daya's stern yet angry tone because till then Daya was delighting in happiness seeing his brother in consciousness...
And also he has seen only the emotional and lovable brother in Daya in these months...
This furious Daya was totally new to him...
While gulping the saliva he moved out of the ICU silently after confirming Abhijeet's well being as he understood that Abhijeet did something which triggered the lovable brother's anger...
Abhijeet who was totally confused regarding himself being alive didn't notice his brother's fiery gaze at first...
He just asked out desperately as...
Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): lekin...Daya...yeh...kaise...matlab...wo bomb...wo...tho...
Daya was about to say something in anger but Abhijeet continued as...
Abhijeet (in fear): matlab...wo...wo...fhat gaya...my god...yeh kya...kar diya...Daya...tum ne...sab...(realizing something)...ek minute...phir hum...jinda...kaise...
Abhijeet became utterly confused correlating each and every memory and possibilities out of fear...
Daya who was silent till then exclaimed as...
Daya (in a stern yet sarcastic tone): hum jinda kahan hai...hum sab maar ke aatma bann gaye hai...tume chot laga tha na issliye tum behosh the abhi tak...
Abhijeet who was cluttering his mind in confusion became irritated hearing that...
Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): masak mat karo Daya...yeh baatao ki bomb ka kya hua...wo fhat ne wala tha na...
Daya wanted to blast out but he controlled his anger with...
Daya (in stern tone): haan...wo bomb fhat chuka hai...magar uss vault ke andar hi fhat tha...hum tere tara ullu nahi hai samjhe...hume Sarvan paye bharosa tha...uss ne tume bhi bacchaya aur uss bomb ko bhi vault ke andar rokh diya...
Abhijeet who understood what could have happened heave a sigh in relief while Daya continued as...
Daya (in anger): aur masak mai nahi kar raha hu idiot...masak tho tum ne banna diya hum sab ka...hum ne kaha tha tujh se ki darwaza khol Sharvan aur bomb squad jarur kuch karege...magar nahi...tume tho uss bomb ke saath hi Sona tha na...aur...bade bade...baatein bhi kar na tha...kyu...
Abhijeet lowered his gaze slowly and was about to say something but Daya who guessed his move...
Daya (in anger): agar sorry bol ne ke khoshsis bhi kiya hai na tho wapas coma mai paucha duga tume...samjhe...
Abhijeet jerked a bit hearing the word coma...
He desperately asked out as...
Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): coma...mai...mai...coma...mai tha...haan...
Daya's anger got struck hearing Abhijeet's query...
He felt the loss of words for a second...
He while trying to control his emotions exclaimed in pain as...
Daya (in stammering tone): haan...tum...coma...coma...mai...hi the...4...4 mahino se...
Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock hearing that...
Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): kya...4 mahino se...my...god...
He turned his gaze towards Daya who was trying hard to control his tears...
Abhijeet's heart started to ache feeling the pain in his brother's eyes...
He held Daya's hand softly with...
Abhijeet (in a teary tone): I am...I am sorry Daya...so sorry...
Daya turned towards Abhijeet hearing his words who was looking at him with teary eyes...
He couldn't cope up with his emotions beyond that...
He hugged Abhijeet who was lying on the bed and started to cry bitterly...
Abhijeet felt like his heart was being torn into pieces hearing the crying sound of his brother...
He just started to pat his brother's back softly as if trying to pacify him without saying anything...
Daya while tightening his grip over Abhijeet with...
Daya (in broken tone): aise kyu kar the ho yaar...kyu kar the ho aise...tum jaan the ho na ki mai tumare Bina nahi reha saktha...patha hai na ki mujh se yeh dard...yeh akelapan seha na nahi jaatha...patha hai na sab...phir bhi aise kyu...phir bhi...tum...kyu yaar...kyu...
Saying this Daya started to cry more...
Tears started to flow from Abhijeet's eyes too hearing his brother's words and seeing his condition...
Daya (in broken tone): uss wakt...tume waise dekh ke...mere kya haal hua...tum wo soch bhi nahi sakthe...tere saase bhi rukh gaya tha...mai...mai...mar hi Gaya tha ek pal ke liye...agar uss din tum jinda nahi hothe na tho mai bhi...mai bhi...maar jaatha...maar jaatha mai bhi...
Abhijeet hugged him tightly and interrupted him with...
Abhijeet (in a teary tone): aise mat bol mere yaar...aise mat bol...mujhe maaf kar de yaar...I am so sorry...maine uss wakt...jo theek laga...wo...kiya...par maine yeh nahi...
He while trying to control his emotions...
Abhijeet (in a broken tone): I know...maine tere saath bahot badi galati kar di...tum se tumare Vikram ko cheen liya maine...usse baccha nahi paya mai...aur khud bhi...
Daya jerked hearing that and separated himself from the hug as a reflex with...
Daya (in a stammering tone): yeh...yeh...kya bol rahe ho Abhijeet tum...Vikram ko tum kahan...yaar...wo sab...
Abhijeet (in broken tone): nahi Daya...maine Vikram ko baccha nahi paya...mai usse unn janwaro se...dard hone se...tadap ne se...maut se...kisse bhi nahi baccha paya...maine usse gava diya...tum se tumare dost cheen liya maine...I am sorry...mai...
Daya (in disbelief): Abhijeet...yeh kya bakwas kar rahe ho tum...haan...tum ne kya kuch nahi Kiya Vikram ko bacchane ke liye...aree...apne aapko chuka se tak maara tumne...3 baar...phir bhi...
Abhijeet (in broken tone): naakaam khoshsis ka kya fyada Daya...mai tho Vikram ko baccha ne nahi paya na...wo mere waja se...mere waja se hi humare bich nahi raha hai...humesha ke liye hum se dur hogaya hai wo...
Daya (in pain): accha...aise dekha Jaye tho maine bhi naa Vikram ko baccha paya Naa hi tume...Vikram khud mujhe call kar ke bulaya maar ne se pehale...par mai usse baccha nahi paya...in fact mai tho tume bhi koi dard...takleef se nahi baccha paya mai...phir tho...
Abhijeet (in frustration): Daya...tum kya kar sakthe the...tum tho wahan the hi nahi...tum kaise zimmedar hoge wo sab ke liye...(in pain)...mai tho wahan paye tha...aur sab mere aankho ke samne hi tho hua tha...par mai...kuch...bhi...nahi...
Daya nodded his head in pain and disappointment with...
Daya (in pain): yaar...jo bhi hua wo sirf tere aankho ke samne nahi...tere saath bhi hua tha...yaar...tum dono ne...tum dono ne ek dusre ko bacchane ke bahot khoshsis ki...magar kismat ne...
Daya while trying to control his irregular sinuses...
Daya (in broken tone): yaar...mai jaan tha hu ki tumare Dil Mai kya bheed rahi hai...I know...mujhe bhi yehi feel horaha hai...yehi guilt horaha hai ki mai Vikram aur tume baccha nahi paaya...tum dono ko itne dard aur takleef hua...par mai kuch bhi nahi kar paaya tum dono ke liye...kuch bhi nahi...
Abhijeet nodded his head in negative and interrupted as...
Abhijeet (in a teary tone): Daya...please...baar baar yehi mat kaho...tumare koi galati nahi hai iss mai...samjhe...koi galati nahi hai...yaar...tum kya kar sakthe the...tume thodi Naa patha tha ki yeh sab hojayega...
Daya (in a teary tone): wahi tho Abhijeet...wahi tho...tume bhi tho patha nahi tha naa ki yeh sab hojaayega...phir aise khud ko dosh kyu de rahe ho...jo bhi hua uss mai tum kya kar sakthe the...tum kya bhagawan ho...nahi ho na...phir...(after a pause)...yaar...kismat ke aage hum...hum kya kar sakthe...bolo...
Abhijeet looked at Daya with an unsaid expression...
Daya (in broken tone): manna ki humare Vikram kabhi wapas...wapas nahi aa saktha...aur hume usske bina...usske yaado se hi jeena hoga...patha hai ki bahot mushkil hai...lekin...kya kare...yaar...kya kare...iss dukh aur dard ke saath jeena ke alawa aur koi option hi nahi hai humare paas...
Tears flow from Daya's eyes at a speed while saying this while Abhijeet looked at Daya with teary eyes..
Daya (in broken tone): magar yaar...hum yeh khoshsis tho kar sakthe hai na ki Vikram ko aur takleef aur dukh Naa de...agar hum aise khud ko dosh de the rehege...khud ko takleef de the rehege tho Vikram ko kitna dukh hoga...wo kya yehi chahega...nahi na...haan...bolo...
Abhijeet nodded his head in negative while Daya held Abhijeet's hand firmly with...
Daya (in a managed tone): tho phir mujh se wada karo ki...tum aaj...iss pal ke baad kabhi bhi Vikram ke maut ke liye khud ko dosh nahi doge...
Abhijeet looked at Daya for a few seconds without saying anything...
He then while sighing deeply held Daya's hand firmly with...
Abhijeet (in a managed tone): agar tum bhi mujh se yeh wada karoge ki tum Jo bhi hua usske ke liye khud ko dosh nahi doge tho mai bhi yeh wada kar ne ke liye tayyar hu...
Daya looked at Abhijeet with teary eyes for a second...
He then held Abhijeet's hand which was in his grip with his other hand with...
Daya (in teary tone): wada yaar...pakka wada...
Abhijeet gave a teary smile and then held their joined hands with...
Abhijeet (in teary tone): mai bhi wada kar tha hu yaar...pakka wada...
Daya too gave a teary smile to Abhijeet in return...
While Duo were making heart melting promises to each other...
The whole CID team along with ACP and Salunke entered the ICU in complete hurry and enthusiasm...
Their steps stopped at the door step itself for a second seeing Abhijeet in a conscious state...
Their eyes turned teary in no time seeing him awake as it was the moment for which they were desperately waiting for the past 4 months...
ACP literally rushed towards Abhijeet and sat beside him while keeping his trembling hand over Abhijeet's head with...
ACP (in stammering tone): Abhijeet...beta...tum...tum...uth gaye...uth gaye...sach mai...
Abhijeet looked at his father with teary eyes and then nodded in positive...
ACP while giving a teary smile fondled Abhijeet's face with...
ACP (in teary tone): tum...tum...theek ho na beta...koi takleef nahi horaha hai na tume...haan...
Abhijeet held ACP's hand softly with...
Abhijeet (in soft tone): mai bikul theek hu sir...dekhiye...ek dam fit and fine hu...
ACP chuckled a bit with teary eyes while Salunke exclaimed as...
Salunke (in a taunting yet sarcastic tone): haan...haan...kyu nahi hoge fit tum...4 mahine se bas aaram hi tho kar rahe the...wo bina kissi break ke...kyu...
Abhijeet made a grumpy face and exclaimed as...
Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): sir...aap...aap ko tho...(after a pause)...chodiye sir...aap se tho baat kar na hi bekar hai...
Instead of getting angry as usual Salunke smiled broadly...
Abhijeet became confused seeing Salunkhe's smile...
Salunke who understood the confusion pressed Abhijeet's shoulder with...
Salunke (in a managed tone): maine tume aur tumare yeh gusse ko bahot jyada miss Kiya beta...bahot jyada...
Everyone looked at Salunke with a sad gaze while Abhijeet looked at Salunke with an unsaid expression...
Salunke patted Abhijeet's shoulder with...
Salunke (in a managed tone): tume...tume waise uss coma mai dekha nahi jaa raha tha beta...wo bhi 4 mahine...kyu Abhijeet...kyu khud ko bandh Kiya uss vault ke andar...haan...
Abhijeet was about to say something but ACP interrupted as...
ACP (in pain): haan...hum ne tum se kitne baar kaha tha...par tum ne humare ek nahi sunna...patha hai tume ki humare kya halat huyi humare aankho ke samne hi tume waise gir the dekh ke...haan...phir itne mahine coma mai bhi...theek nahi kiya tum ne Abhijeet...theek nahi kiya...

Purvi (in agreement): haan sir...iss baar aap ne hum sab ko bahot jyada dara diya hai...hum...hum bahot jyada dar gaye the aapko waise dekh ke...hum se aapko aise dekh nahi jaatha sir...issliye please dubara aise kabhi mat kar na aap...nahi tho...
Abhijeet was looking at everyone with a teary eyes...
He really didn't get what to say...
He looked at Daya who was standing there with a teary eyes as everyone...
His eyes turned more teary seeing everything...
Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): I am sorry...mai...sach mai aap logo ko hurt nahi kar chatha tha...par mujhe uss wakt sab kuch rokh ne ke liye wahi raasta Mila tha...haan manna ki mai bomb squad ko..hacker ko ek chances de saktha tha...magar mujhe dar tha ki kahi kuch...issliye hi...aise...
ACP patted his shoulder with...
ACP (in soft tone): it's okay beta...hum samjh sakthe ki tum kya soch ke wo kadam uthaya hoga...
Daya (in agreement): haan...shayad agar hum tumare jage hothe hum bhi yehi kar the...lekin tab tum bhi hum se aise hi shikayat kar the...daant the...hai na...
Abhijeet nodded positively with...
Abhijeet (in low tone): haan...haan...jarur kar tha...shayad isse jyada kar tha...issliye...issliye tho maafi maang Raha hu...
Daya nodded his head in disappointment while others smiled broadly...
Suddenly something came to Abhijeet's mind...
He made a realized gesture and immediately turned towards Daya with...
Abhijeet (in tension): Daya...wo...uss Dhurv aur Sanjay ka kya hua...saza mili kya unn dono ko...haan...
Daya looked at ACP hearing that...who looked at him with a meaningful gaze...
Everyone exchanged a same kind of expression with each other...
Seeing everyone's weird reaction Abhijeet turned tense...
He exclaimed out of desperation as...
Abhijeet (in tension): aree...aise ek dusre ko kyu dekh rahe ho...baatao na ki unn janwaro ko saza mili ya nahi...
Daya sighed deeply and pressed Abhijeet's shoulder with...
Daya (in firm tone): sorry yaar...wo...saza mil ne tak intezaar nahi kar paya yaar tho...hum ne...hi...saza de diya...
Abhijeet (in confusion): matlab?
Daya (in soft tone): matlab...
Flashback...
Four months ago...
At a desert area...
It is a vast droughty desert area which was only filled with golden sand and hot breeze in every possible direction...
There was no sign of single living creatures in that whole place...
In the middle of the vast region some men were grounding two poles at a definite distance but directing each other...
After strongly placing the poles...some black dressed men pulled Dhurv and Sanjay out of the car and started to drag them towards the poles...
Dhurv and Sanjay who were injured badly started to mourn in pain feeling burning sensation in their wounds because of the hotness in the desert...
They started to struggle a lot to free themselves from the grip of the men with the left over energy with...
Dhurv (in rage): ayeeee...yeh kahan le kar aaye ho hume...police station kyu nahi leke Gaya...haan...
But the men didn't budge they started to tie them with the poles as if they were facing each other...
Sanjay (in rage): kya kar ne wale ho...kyu baandh rahe ho hume...chup chap chodo hume...chodo...
Daya and some of the CID officers entered the scene with furious faces...
Seeing them Dhurv and Sanjay started to struggle more with...
Dhurv (in rage): yeh sab kya hai...hume court mai produce kar na tha na...hume yahan kyu leke aaye ho tum log...
Daya while smiling sarcastically moved towards them with...
Daya (in stern yet sarcastic tone): wo kya hai na Dhurv...tum logo ko agar court mai produce karege...tho jyada se jyada kya hoga...tum dono ko phasi ke saza sunnayege...bas...(chewing tone)...lekin tum dono jaise janwaro ko wo saza kaafi nahi hai...tum dono ko tho mai tadap tadap ke maaruga...
Sanjay and Dhurv exchanged a glance in fear of hearing Daya's words while Daya continued as...
Daya (in rage): jaise tum dono ne mere bhaiyon ko tadapaya tha...dard diya tha...waise hi mai tum dono ko bhi tadapauga...dard de ke maaruga...
Sanjay (in fear): kya...kya kar ne wale ho tum...haan...kya kar ne wale ho...
Freddy (in sarcastic tone): kuch nahi...bas...tum dono ne mai se pehale kaun maarega...usske competition hone wala hai Aaj se...samjhe...
Dhurv and Sanjay looked at them in complete distress while Daya exclaimed as...
Daya (in stern tone): areee...mai samja tha hu...hum tum dono ko yehi iss sunsaan desert paye aise hi chod ne wale hai...tum dono ne ke maar ne tak...ek dusre ko maar the dekh dekh ke khushi khushi maaro...theek hai...
Dhurv and Sanjay looked at Daya in horror hearing that...
Dhurv (in stammering tone): nahi...tum...aise nahi kar sakthe...aise nahi kar sakthe tum...
Daya (in rage): kyu nahi kar saktha mai...haan...kyu nahi kar saktha...tum dono ne kitne masoom log ka jaan liya...mere dost Vikram ko maar diya hai...aur mere bhai Abhijeet ko coma mai paucha diya hai...
Daya while controlling his irregular sinuses...
Daya (in rage): tum dono ko tho apne haatao se maar de ne ke mann kar raha hai...par wo sahi saza nahi hoga...kyuki tum dono ko dusro ko tadapa ne ka...unnko maar ne ka...dard kya hotha hai usska bikul bhi ehsaas nahi hai...issliye ehsaas karwa na bahot jaruri hai...bahot jaruri...
Sanjay (in a stammering tone): yeh illegal hai Daya...illegal hai...tumare khud ke ACP hi nahi chodege tume jab ussko patha chalega ki tum ne yeh sab kiya...khud phasi paye chada dega tume...
ACP entered the scene with...
ACP (in a chewing tone): sahi kaha tum ne...ACP nahi chodega...phasi paye chada bhi dega...lekin Daya ko nahi...(stressing)...tum logo...aur rahi baat yeh illegal plan ki...usska approval maine hi diya hai...samjhe...
Dhurv and Sanjay looked at each other in disbelief hearing ACP's words...
Dhurv (in stammering yet fear filled tone): hum logo ko chodo do ACP...warna...warna...accha nahi hoga...accha nahi...
ACP (in stern tone): yeh dhamki de se kuch nahi hoga Dhurv ji...sirf tere energy waste hoga...
Daya (in sarcastic tone): areee sir...waste kar ne dijiye na...kya hojaatha...jitna energy waste kar the rahege utna jaldi...jaldi maarege na...maar ne dijiye...
Dhurv and Sanjay looked at them with a fiery gaze hearing his words while struggling hard...
Dhurv (in rage): Daya...yeh theek nahi kar rahe ho tum log...galat kar rahe ho...kholo hume...khol do...
ACP and Daya looked at each other with a smile and then looked at them with a sarcastic gaze...
Then they started to move from the place with others while Dhurv and Sanjay continued to scream at the peak of their voice...
Their voice was echoing all over the vast desert which started to get down with the passing time as they started to lose themselves slowly because of their wounds and the extreme warmth of the desert...
Flashback ends...
Daya (in stern tone): 3 din mai wo log uss desert mai hi maare Gaye the...wo bhi tadap tadap ke...aur...
Daya stopped abruptly seeing Abhijeet's bewildered expression...
Yes...Abhijeet was looking at Daya and ACP in complete shock hearing the flashback...
He literally didn't know how to react...
Finally the demons got the right punishment for their sins...
He started to feel lots of emotions at a same time in his heart...
Seeing Abhijeet's expression Daya looked at ACP in nervousness...
He then pressed Abhijeet's shoulder with ...
Daya (in stammering tone): yaar...kya hua...tum...aise...
Abhijeet looked at Daya with a teary eyes and then hugged him tightly with...
Abhijeet (in stammering tone): Daya...yaar...mujhe patha tha...patha tha ki tum jarur unn logo ko sahi saza doge...maine aur Vikram ne unn janwaro se kaha tha ki tum unn logo ko nahi chodoge...aur tum ne bhi...thank you yaar...thank you so much...
Daya hugged his brother and started to pat his back with...
Daya (in teary tone): yaar...yeh kya bole Jaa rahe ho tum...mujhe thank you bologe...yaar...yeh mera farz tha...tum dono ke saath wo kitna kuch...mujhe tho yeh sab kar na hi tha...tum...
ACP (in agreement): haan Abhijeet...unn logo ne ek msoom ke jaan liya hai...aur tume...CID ke shan ko chot pauchaya hai...unn logo ko kaise chod the hum...haan...issliye yeh sab...
Abhijeet turned towards ACP with...
Abhijeet (in a teary tone): sir...Daya aur baki sab aise karega yeh tho mujhe patha hi tha...par aap...aise kanoon ke khilaf jaa ke...mujhe samjh mai hi nahi aaraha ki kaise...mai aap ko...
ACP who was looking at Abhijeet with teary eyes patted Abhijeet's cheek with...
ACP (in teary tone): apne bete ko dard mai dekh ke koi bhi baap chup nahi reha saktha Abhijeet...chahe wo yeh pathar dil ACP hi kyu Naa ho...
Abhijeet's eyes filled with lots of tears hearing that while ACP continued as...
ACP (in firm tone): aur tho aur wo log terrorist hai...kitne masoom logo ke jaan liya hai...unn ke tho aise saza...aise maut de na hi sahi hai...issliye hi maine Daya ke baat mann li...aur kuch nahi...
Freddy (in agreement): haan sir...unn logo ne aapko dard diya hai...Daya sir ke dost maara hai...unnko aise kaise chod the hum log...
Abhijeet smiled broadly while shedding tears seeing the love and affection of his brother, Father and the whole CID team...
Suddenly remembering something he asked out as...
Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): lekin sir...koi legal issue nahi huyi na...matlab...higher officials ne...
Daya (in soft tone): kuch nahi hua tha yaar...tum nahi jaan ho kya ki hum kaise cover kar the hai aise cheezo ko...aur iss baar tho ACP sir bhi humare saath hai...upar se DCP nd bhi madat ki...
Abhijeet (in shock): what...DCP ne...
Freddy (in soft tone): haan...haan sir...ussne sab jaan the huye bhi head quarters Mai humare safai Diya ki wo dono janwaro ke hi shikar bann gaye the jungle mai jab humare kabse mai se baage the...
Abhijeet was looking at Freddy in amusement hearing his words while ACP exclaimed as...
ACP (in soft tone): beta...ek aur baat yeh hai ki yeh baat sab ko patha bhi chale na tab bhi kuch nahi karege... kyuki wo dono koi acche insaan nahi hai...wo log tho most wanted terrorists hai...issliye pareshan hona bandh karo...samjhe...
Abhijeet smiled broadly and nodded in positive...
Salunke (in agreement): haan Abhijeet...ab bas jaldi se theek hojao...aur bureau aajao...tabhi tho hum wapas se lab mai khubo ladege...jagadage...aur...Masti karege...
Abhijeet chuckled out and nodded his head in disappointment while Daya exclaimed as...
Daya (in a teary tone): haan yaar...ab aur nahi...bahot ajeeb lag tha hai yaar...tere Bina...Naa mujhe ghar mai accha lag raha hai...Naa hi bureau jaane ke Mann kar raha hai...aise lag raha tha ki jaise mai...(after a pause)...tum ab...tum ab...jaldi se theek hojao...samjhe...
Everyone looked at Daya in pain while Abhijeet's eyes filled with tears...
He just pressed Daya's palm firmly as if assuring him that he won't leave him anymore...
Daya who understood his brother's words through that grip looked at him with a teary eyes...
Yes...Sometimes silence speaks more than anything...
Abhijeet assured him through eyes while Daya nodded with a teary smile...
One month later...
Abhijeet has completely recovered and got discharged from hospital in 2 weeks after he came out of coma...
Now he has been going to the bureau and came into routine life for the past one week...
Daya who was totally engulfed in the pain and trauma of losing his friend and seeing his brother in a coma started to come out of them slowly with the help of Abhijeet's presence...
Abhijeet also started to come out of the trauma slowly with his brother Daya's presence...
Duo's life started to get normalized slowly with each other's presence and comfort...but the void of Vikram's absence remained the same throughout the process...
Inauguration Day...
Yes...Today was the day of the inauguration of the explosion control research lab which the government was opening in the memory and name of Vikram...
The whole CID team, many higher officials of various departments and press has gathered in that place...
After the speech by some higher officials they felicitated the whole CID team with medals and shields...
Then they made a speech on Vikram's research works and his efforts to save nation...
Duo were hearing everything with a warm heart and teary eyes...
After that they announced felicitation for Vikram with a monument of bravery and medal and asked Daya to collect it on behalf of Vikram...
Daya pulled Abhijeet to the stage along with him even after his refusal and they both collected the monument and medal on behalf of Vikram...
Soon the whole ceremony came to a halt with lots of appreciation on the bravery of Vikram and CID team for saving the nation...
After sometimes...
In a Graveyard...
Duo reached the graveyard were Vikram was buried along with the monument and medal the government gave for him...
They both decorated his cemetery with flowers and then placed the monument and medal over it...
Then they started to look at Vikram's grave with a teary eyes and heavy heart silently as the grief started to block their throat...
Tear slipped from Daya's eyes remembering his memories with Vikram from childhood...
His heart started to ache badly feeling the increase in the void created by the absence of his friend in his life...
He started to feel more broken and nostalgic hearing and seeing everything happened in today's ceremony...
Daya knelled down and caressed his hand over the cemetery with...
Daya (in teary yet low tone): Vikram...yaar...wapas aajao na...please wapas aajao...please...
Abhijeet who was looking at Vikram's grave with teary eyes turned towards Daya hearing his words and crying sound...
Tear slipped from Abhijeet's eyes too feeling that pain...
He felt loss of words seeing his brother's condition...
He too knelled down and just hugged Daya from the side and started to rub his shoulder softly as if trying to comfort him...
What else could he do other than this for his brother who was in pain of losing his dear friend...
He knew how much Vikram meant to Daya and how much he was missing him...
Even he was also missing Vikram a lot but he knew that Daya's pain was much more than that of him...
He knew Vikram only for a few years...he himself couldn't bear the pain of losing Vikram...
Then how expect Daya to move on who knew Vikram...in fact lived along with him from childhood...
He was being more than a friend to him...
The pain of losing his friend created a great permanent scar in Daya's heart...and also in his heart...
He knew very well that this scar of losing their friend won't heal forever...
Daya looked at Abhijeet with broken eyes who too looked at him with the same expression...
He too hugged Abhijeet from the side without saying anything...
Then they both while shedding tears looked at Vikram's grave and exclaimed as...
Duo (simultaneously): we miss you yaar Vikram...miss you...
Tears slipped more from their eyes which they didn't care to wipe...
They remained in that same place on the same side hugged posture looking at Vikram's grave until they could compose their tired heart...
Yes...to compose their heart for the upcoming new challenges, struggles and hurdles in their ever danger hunting job...
