But, his anger overpowered over his heart
Abhijeet - humne nahi kaha tha unhe dur Jana k liye...unka khud ka faisla tha.
Tasha - Bhai please na...aaj k din k liye narazgi bhul jaiye please.
Abhijeet took a deep breath and nodded. They didn't knew Vir and Daya were standing behind and have listened it all. Vir eyes were having tears. Daya kept hand on his shoulder. He cleared his eyes.
Viren - Tu..tu chal chote mein aa...aata hun.

Viren - Is khadus se puchu? kacha na chaba jae tumhara Bhai mujhe.

Tasha suppress her laugh.
Abhijeet - meri tarif hogi ho toh Kam krle...bhot kam pada hai.
Viren - Mein kya karu?
Abhijeet didn't replied. Viren looked at Tasha and Daya.
Daya - Dada aap aloo k partha banao na please... mujhe ache se yaad hai...aap humare liye banate the.
Viren looked at Abhi who was showing himself busy in his work. But Viren did saw him gulping as Daya said this.
Viren smiled seeing this.
Viren - thik hai, lekin bhot time se nahi banae mene pata nahi kese Bane ge.
Tasha - Areh dada tasty hi bane ge...aap banao.
They all were cooking together. And in between talking about Random things...Were when Viren talked, Abhi mostly keeping quiet to him or either taunting him. Acp sir and Nandini saw them from outside.
Nandini - Aab priwar pura lag raha hai.
ACP sir - haan, ase hi khush rahe bache.
Abhijeet and Viren both were using the burner, where Abhi was sauteing the spices. And Viren was cooking the parathas. The smell of those delicious parathas were distracting Abhi.
He was again and again looking at them with corner of eyes and Viren well noticed this.
Flashback
Viren cooking parantha when Abhijeet came and stood beside him.
Abhijeet - ahha bhai kitni achi khusbu aa rahi hai...or kitni der? mujhse nahi ruka jaa raha hai.
Viren - Abhi bs do min ho hi gaya hai.
He turned to take the plate. Here Abhi saw the partha ready but it was still on the pan . But he couldn't control so tried to take bite from the pan only.
But , before he could do this Viren hold his hand.
Viren - Jeet dimag thik hai, hath jaal jata abhi, garam hai tawa.
Abhijeet - mujhse wait hi nahi hora tha toh
Viren - tu na...chal nikal kitchen se bhar...kuch na kuch ulta hi kare ga...chal jaldi nikal ...mein laa raha hoon ise bhar.
Abhi went out making face.

Daya - Dada taste krne do na.
Viren - taste k bache hath jala leta abhi...or nahi abhi nahi jb sb ban jae ga tb kha lena.
Daya - Dada please na ek bite.
Viren - nahi jaa kam kar.
Daya went making face. Abhijeet remember the same incident.
He also wanted to do the same but huuh why should he no , he shouldn't his mind was denying while his heart and soul so wanted that parantha.
He was so distracted that he didn't realised and his hand touched the hot cooker kept on the other burner and burnt his hand.
Abhijeet - siiiiiii
They looked at him and ran to him... Viren hold his hand which Abhi was trying to pull away.
Daya - bhai ye kese lag gaya.
Abhijeet - pata... nahi..glti se hath lag gya cooker se.
Viren drag him to the sink
Abhijeet - aa...aap chodiye mein..kar luga.
Viren didn't bother to reply and drag him and put his hand under water.
Viren - Dhyan kha rheta hai tera? (in flow) isi liye hmesha tujhe kitchen se dur rhene ko kheta hun , kuch na kuch ulta sidha krna hota hai...jala liya na hath...he realised that he was not scolding that Little Abhi...he cleared his throat...Daya first aid Lana.
Abhijeet - mein khud kar luga.
He again tried to pull his hand away but Vir has hold his hand tightly.
Viren (strictly) - Jeet, shut up...I don't want to hear a word from you now... Tasha stool dena.
Tasha gave him stool.
Viren (again strictly) - beth yaha.
Abhijeet obeyed him like a good boy. Daya came with first aid kit.
Daya - Dada first aid.
Viren sat on knee infront of Abhi and took out ointment and started to apply on his hand. Abhi flinched a little and hold other hand of Viren tightly and closed his eyes. Viren blow air on his hand.
Abhijeet opened his eyes , which turned teary , he kept on looking at Viren.
Daya and Tasha looked at Eachother and then at them.
Viren stood up to wash his hand. Abhijeet too stood up and went to his room without any word. Viren turned back.
Viren (nodded in disappointment) - yhe ladkha na bhot ziddi hai.
He looked at Daya and Tasha who looked tense.
Viren - tum dono ko kya hua chehra kyu latkya hai? kuch nahi hua hai tumhare Bhai ko, thoda sa jala hai thik ho jae ga.
Daya - nahi Dada voh baat nahi hai.
Viren - toh phir kya hua?
Daya - Dada aaj tak kbhi bhi humne Abhi k ankho mein ase asu nahi dekha kisi bhi chot lagne par. Use kbh bhi koi bhi chot lagti hai ya kuch hota hai toh hmesha yahi kheta hai ki choti si chot hai kbhi parwah nahi krta.
Tasha - Or kitni bar toh batate bhi nahi hai ki lagi hai , last time bhi jb Bhai ko goli lagi thi hath mein or unhone kisi ko kuch nahi bataya tha. voh toh baad mein majak majak mein jb Daya Bhai ne unhe usi jagah punch Kiya toh khun nikalne laga tb pata chala ki unhe laga hai.

Viren - aab iska dimag dheere dheere line par aa jae ga...ok
Both hug him.apne
Viren - Acha chalo dono jao or tyar ho k aao Rakhi bhi toh bandhani hai..chalo jaldi jao.
Both went to get ready. Viren sighed heavily. He stood there in his thoughts. When Nandini kept hand on his shoulder.
Nandini - kya soch rahe ho Vir?
Viren - kuch nahi badi maa , bs ase hi.
Nandini - Abhi k bare mein soch rahe ho
Viren (nodded) - haa badi maa, mujhe laga tha mere Jane k baad Jeet thoda toh badle ga hi or voh us k ache k liye hi hoga, lekin itna badal jae ga ki apna dard bhi kisi tak nahi pochne dega yhe kbhi nahi chaha tha Badi kbhi nahi.
Nandini - Socha or chaha kisi ne bhi nahi tha Vir lekin halat ase hue ki , hum se toh voh dur hota hi gaya, tum the us k pass lekin hum ne tumhe bhi use dur kar diya.
Viren - nahi badi maa , aap ne nahi... faisla mera tha...or aab apne Jeet ko mein hi vapas lau ga.
Nandini - hum sb apke sath isme... aab chalo tum bhi tyar ho jao...baki sb mein dekhti hoon.
Viren - ji Badi maa.
Abhijeet is sitting on his bed looking at his hand and some warm drop rolling down his cheek.

Abhijeet (exited) - Bhai dekho mein Sikh Gaya
Viren - very good Jeet
Abhijeet looked back at him
Viren/ Anirudh - Jeet/Abhi aage dekh kar chala.
but he lost his balance and fell down. Viren patted his head.
Abhijeet cried loud. Three of them ran towards him. But there was not much damage. There were only some scratches on his knee and elbow. Anirudh took him in his lap. He buried his head in his chest.
ACP saw his wound and nodded in disappointment.
Acp sir - Abhi dekho, jayda nahi laga choti si chot hai, abhi dawai lagae ge thik hojae ga.
Viren - haan na Jeet mein abhi dawai lata hoon, dekhna kese Chu-mantar hojaegi chot.
Abhijeet still kept his head buried in his Chachu's chest, who was patting him. They took him back inside house. Nandini and Radhika too came. Viren bought first aid.
Anirudh - Areh meri choti sarkar toh brave hai na, mera sher bacha nahi hai Abhi, chalo Rona nahi aab. He cleaned his tears.
Abhijeet (Tearly) - Chachu bhot dard horha hai.
Acp sir took savalon on cotton to clean wound and before he applied that on his wound,
Abhijeet (shouted) - nahi...nahi...nahi...(all locked at him in concer)
Viren hold his hand.
Viren - kya hua Jeet?
Abhijeet - ise or dard hoga bhaiya.
Nandini (to Radhika) - sar chadha rakha hai sb ne ise, dekh rahi ho Radhika is k nakhre itni si chot bhi nahi hai
Radhika - Didi chot toh chot hoti hai badi ho ya choti.
Nandini shook her head. Radhika came to him.
Radhika - Abhi ise dard nahi hoga bacha ise toh chot jaldi jaldi thik hojati hai.
Abhijeet (innocently) - Sach chachi? Lekin dard hua toh?
Viren - tu mera hath kas k pakad le...jese jb tujhe dar lagta hai tb krta hai or phir tujhe dar nahi lagta hai...vese hi dard bhi nahi hoga.
Abhijeet looked at his father for assurance and than at his Chachu. Both nodded at him.
Abhijeet hold Viren's hand more tightly which was already holding his hand and closed his eyes tightly.
Elders smiled on his cuteness. Acp sir cleaned the wound and apply medicine mean while Viren kept blowing air on his wound.
Viren - Lo ho bhi Gaya.
Abhijeet opened his one eye and looked at his wound which was now covered with band-aid.

Abhijeet - haawww...bhaiya mein kese jau ga... mujhe itii sari chot lagi hai (sadly) dard bhi horha hai.

Elders controlled their laugh. Here Little Daya came with his little steps towards them...he saw band-aid on his knee.Acp sir hold him.
Daya - Abhi...chot
Acp sir - Haan Bhai apke k Abhi ko chot lagi hai.
Daya struggle to get free...So, Acp sir kept him down. He came near Abhi and kissed on his wound as learnt by from his elder's.

Flashback end.
Abhijeet was still looking at his hand when some other memories flashed.

Tasha and Daya were playing around when Abhijeet saw them playing with glass show piece.
He immediately went to them and tried to take it from them.
Abhijeet - Daya chod ise lag jae ga tumhe.
Daya - nahi lagta Abhi...do naaaa
And in between Tasha mistakenly hit that on Abhi's hand and it broke down. Abhi in reflex took both of them behind him so that it doesn't hurt them. But his own hand got a cut.
