Same day, after dinner everyone went to their respective rooms to take rest. Abhijeet was sitting on his study table reading a file when his phone rang. He saw the caller ID and received the call with a simple hello.
Caller jollily: hello, my friend… How are you?
Abhijeet sighed and closed the file in-front of him. He relaxed a bit on the chair while asking in a calm tone: mai theek hun Rahul, subah sy sham tk mai kitna badlao aa skta hai akhir mjh mai?
Rahul seriously: wesy to badlao aik jhatky mai aa skta hai, achanak sy, humesha k liye… jo insaan k jeeny ka tareeqy tk badal skta hai…
Abhijeet was shocked after hearing his words; Rahul was an easygoing person; joking and laughing were his great traits: tum Rahul hi ho na?
Rahul in a heavy voice: nahi mai Rahul ka bhoot bol raha hun…
Abhijeet took a relaxing sigh: thank god tum Rahul hi ho, aik pal ko laga mai Rahul sy nahi kisi philosopher sy baat kr raha hun…
Rahul in annoyance: hunh, mai to bs is duniya ki sachai bata raha tha… khair choro wo sb baatain jis baat k liye phone kiya tha wo to sun lo…
Abhijeet getting straight: haan bolo?
Rahul started in calm tone: maine apny Sir sy baat ki hai lekin wo appointment nhi dy skty unhy kl out of country jana hai kisi conference or personal reasons ki wajah sy…
Abhijeet in tension cut him: phir ab kiya hoga?

Abhijeet took a deep breath: ohhh… theek hai phir hum aaty hain parso… thank you yaar… mai bht tension mai tha Daya ko ly k…

Rahul: haan yeh to hai… chalo baad mai baat hoti hai… milty hain phir Tuesday ko… bye… Good Night…
Abhijeet reciprocated the wish: Good Night…
Abhijeet saw the time, it was 11:45 pm… he decided to tell everyone about it in breakfast.

At breakfast table, Abhijeet casually stated: Daya kl saat bjy ki appointment hai… (to Disha) aap log tayar rahiye ga mai jaldi aa jaun ga…
Disha worriedly: lekin beta tum kesy aa pao gy, tumhy chute mil jaye gi…
Abhijeet: mai sir sy baat karun ga… wo wesy bhi keh rhy thy k meri che (6) chutiyan hain jo maine use nhi ki… to sir mana nahi karain gy, or wesy bhi mai leave nhi lunga… sir sy sirf jaldi aany ki baat karun ga…

Daya now decided to speak after hearing all: bhaiya meri waja sy itna pareshan hony ki zaroorat nahi hai… aap appointment cancel karwa dain,trust me I am absolutely fine… wesy bhi bilawaja kyun chute ly rhy hain aap meri waja sy…
Abhijeet sternly: Daya maine tumsy poocha nahi, tumhy bata raha hun k hum kl doctor k pass jaa rhy hain and that's final… mjhe koi behes nhi chahiye ab iss mamly mai… (Daya made a face listening to this; he knew that he can't say no to his brother as his brother is more stubborn than him… Abhijeet faced Disha while standing up) Maa mai chalta hun mjhe late ho raha hai…
Disha nodded: OK… khayal rakhna…
Abhijeet gave a small nod and left.
CID Bureau
Abhijeet was inside the ACP's cabin handing him a file: Sir yeh file ho gai hai complete…
ACP Pradyuman looked up and nodded: theek hai tum rakh do mai dekh lunga… tum baki ka kaam dekho jaa k…
Abhijeet gave a nod and tried to say something but hesitation overcame him. ACP Sir saw thi, so he initiated himself: kiya hua kuch kehna tha?
Abhijeet in a hesitant tone: errr… wwo … Sir kl mjhe jaldi ghar jana hai… (saying this he downed his head instantly)…
ACP Sir raised his one eyebrow: kyun?
Abhijeet looked at him: wo sir kl mjhe apny choty bhai ko doctor k pass ly k jana hai…
ACP Sir's features soften a bit: Is everything OK?
Abhijeet moved his head in yes: G sir… everything is fine… just routine check-up…
ACP sir saw his worried face: theek hai tum chaly jana paanch bjy tk…
Abhijeet looked at him and said in gratitude: Thank you Sir…
ACP Sir: No problem, now go back to work…
Abhijeet straightened and said: yes sir…
The day of appointment arrive. They went to the hospital by the car. Few days earlier they had bought the car on the installments.
Rahul met them on the reception waiting for them. He greeted Disha respectfully by touching her feet.
Disha stand him up by holding him from his shoulders: humesha khush raho beta… kahan ghayab ho itny din ho gaye hain tumhy dekhy huye…
Rahul scrunched his nose: maine kahan jana hai Auntie… yahi hospital mai paya jaata hun subh-o-shaam…
Disha patted his shoulder: Jeet ny bataya tha… (prayed for his success) bhagwaan tumhy humesha kamyaab kary…
Rahul nodded smilingly and turned his attention towards Daya: or bhaye choty nawab kya kiya hai aapny esa jo yahan k darshan ho gaye aapky…
Daya made an annoyed face: maine kahan kuch kiya hai… yeh sb kuch aapky in dost (signaled towards Abhijeet continued in his casual tone) ka weham hai… inhy lagta hai mjhe pata nhi konsi khatarnaak beemari lag gai… (everyone looked at him in shock)
Abhijeet angrily interrupted him: Daya… (Daya looked at him and realized his own words) yeh kiya fazool ki bakwaas kiye ja rhy ho… (Daya downed his head as knew he said the wrong words at the wrong time)
Rahul also sided with Abhijeet: Daya esy nhi bolty… jo munh mai aa raha hai wo boly jaa rhy ho…
Disha tried to save her son from the scolding, which was awaiting him in the shape of rage present in Abhijeet's eyes: chalain doctor k pass, saat baj gaye hain…
Rahul looked at the time: haan chalain…
Abhijeet with tight fists nodded and started to walk forward. Rahul put his hand on Abhijeet's shoulder and pressed it. Abhijeet took a deep breath and nodded to him. Rahul and Abhijeet were walking before and after them were Disha and Daya with a down head.
Rahul knocked the door of the cabin. Abhijeet lokked around and saw the slate hanging on the doctor's door saying "Dr. Ranjeet Singh – pediatrician". They entered inside, it was a quite big room having a small bed on the corner separating it with the curtain. The room was white and smelled like the disinfectants. The doctor was a middle aged man having grey hair with a glasses on his eyes.
He looked at them and smiled. He offered them the seats.
Dr. Ranjeet: Please have a seat…
Everyone settled down on the seats there were present.
Doctor looked at Daya: You must be my patient…
Daya nodded: Hello, Daya…
Dr. Ranjeet nodded and asked in a light manner: hmmm… to young boy aap yahan aye kis liye hain…
Daya started to tell his problems, he stated everything in detail as he knew if wouldn't then either his mother or brother will tell him.
Doctor patiently listened to all, he checked his vitals and all, after thorough examination: Headaches kb sy hain aap ko?
Daya told him after remembering for a while: severe headaches to kareeban paanch mahiny sy hain lekin us sy pehly bhi kabhi kabhi hoty thy…
Doctor gave a slight nod: hmmm… kabhi notice kiya hai k kab kab headaches hoty hain?
Daya shook his head in yes: G, kabbhi parhai k waqt start hota hai to kabhi dhoop mai jany sy bhi hota hai… sometimes bhooka rehny or shor sy bhi headache start ho jaata hai… lekin koi si bhi painkiller lun us sy theek ho jata hai…
Doctor said after listening to him, he turned his face to everyone and explained: Daya is completely fine… (Daya gave a look to Abhijeet "Look, That's what I was saying", Abhijeet ignored his look and concentrated on what doctor was saying. Disha also took a sigh of relief.) But he has migraine… (Everyone looked at the doctor with shock-worried gaze) ohh no, it is not that serious… initial stage hai, even regular medicine ki bhi zaroorat nhi hai…
Rahul interrupted: Lekin Sir Daya ki age to abhi kafi km hai ussy kesy migraine trigger kiya?
Doctor replied to him: Dr. Rahul Migraine is not rare in children… (to daya) or yeh to aap batayiye beta kiya aapko yaad hai sbsy pehly esa headache kb hua aapko k apko painkiller ki zaroorat pari?
Daya after remembering: G mera boxing ka match tha… uss din mere opponent ny mjhe sar pr hit kiy tha or uss k baad sy he mjhe yeh sar dard shuru hua… (Abhijeet agve him an angry glare, Daya looked at him and averted his gaze as now no one can save him from Abhijeet's wrath)
Disha asked in worry: Doctor ab aap kya suggetst krain gy?
Doctor in light tone: kuch nhi bs thora yoga shoga try karo… it helps… baki light si medicine mai suggest kr deta hun…
Abhijeet nodded: aur doctor baki sb theek hai? (told him in troubled voice) aur yeh jo Daya k hath kaampny lagy hai hr waqt?
Dr. Ranjeet smiled a little after listening to his fearful voice: beta aapka bhai bilkul fit and fine hai, aap kyun itna pareshaan ho rhy hain… yeh sb just weakness hai, rest kary ga or achi diet ly ga to school reopen hony tk bilkul fresh ho jaye ga… (he stood up after writing the prescription) yeh medicines hain, he is a young boy so maine bilkul light si medicines di hain… (he patted Abhijeet's shoulder after coming out of his seat; he handover the prescription to him) Don't worry at all… now please excuse me I have a round to made…
Saying so he left the room. Daya stood up and initiated: dekha maine to pehly he bola tha k hum bs bilawajah he doctor k pass aye hain…
Abhijeet in anger: tum to zara ghar chalo… phir batata hun tumhy…
Daya got frightened and clutched Disha's pallu. Seeing this Disha intervened: Jeet gussa krny ki koi zaroorat nahi hai… khabardar tumny mere guddy ko daanta to… (she ruffled his hair after saying this.)
Abhijeet just grumbled and left the room.
Rahul ran after him: Jeet, Jeet… ruk na yaar…
Abhijeet stopped and looked behind him: Bolo ab, tum bhi lo uski side… ghalti to maine ki hai na… maine chupaya hai na k kitny time sy sar dard bardasht kr raha hun mai…
Rahul tried to calm him down: bs kr yaar bacha hai… ussy abhi kahan kuch maloom hai… chor na yaar…
Abhijeet burst: haan wo bacha hai… or hum sb pagal hain…
Daya saw this and tears swelled up in his eyes. He came to Abhijeet and hugged him with a small sorry.
ABhijeet couldn't resist his tears so hugged him back: ainda kabhi kuch chupaya na mjh sy to khub marrun ga…
Daya nodded while sniffing: Promise…
