Next update will be on Friday, by Lord's will… :))

Here is the next update, please have fun… :))


DUO's Home…

Sunil was going to wear the headphones now when turned his neck listening some voice to find Abhijeet coming out from his room resulting…

Sunil stopped him as: Tum sooye nahin ab tk…?

Abhijeet argued as: Aik minute pehly hi tou medicine li hai, thori daer tou lggy gi na neend aany mein…

Sunil looking highly disappointed at him snubbed him lightly with: Laeto gy tou aaye gi na neend, easey ghoomty phirty raho gy tou kaisy aaye gi neend…?

Abhijeet making face replied as: Laetta hoon thori daer mein…

When seeing him moving towards Daya's room…

Sunil asked him confusingly with: Wahan kahan ja rahy ho tum ab…?

Abhijeet replied hesitantly with: Woh mujhy yaad aaya main Shampoo ki bottle cabinet mein rakhna bhool gaya tha, wohi rakhny ja raha hoon…

Sunil looked at him sternly with: Abhijeet…?!

Abhijeet surrendered with: Yar mujhy nahin neend aaye gi mairy room mein, main yahin so'on ga, yun bhi Daya k uthny sy pehly tou uth hi jaon ga main, warna tum utha daina mujhy…

Sunil nodded in disappointed smile with: Theek hai jao aur jaldi soo jao, sedative lia hua hai tum ny, iss tarhan ghoomty raho gy tou tabiyt kharab ho jaye gi tumhari…

Abhijeet giving him a node, left inside the younger one's room without having further discussion while Sunil shaking his head in disappointed smile, got busy in studying the recording, wearing the headphones now while sidewise making notes with himself on the paper-pad…

Where on the other side, Abhijeet entered inside the younger one's room, keeping the room door opened while placing a chair there and throwing a soft smiley glance on the latter, he made his way towards the bathroom and after placing the shampoo bottle back in the bathroom cabinet, he moved out, closing the door behind and directly made his way towards the younger one…

O RY ZINNNNDAGIII, TUJHY KYA KAHOOON,

JEEVAN MAIIIRAAA, KYUN HAI RAAAAKH HUAAAA…?

Sitting near him on his knees, he caringly checked his heartbeat and sinus to find both calm and regular, hence getting satisfied, softly spreading hand on his head, he left towards the other side of the room and lie down there closing his eyes too, resulted soon engulfed by an alert sleep…

While outside, Sunil remained deeply involved in his work, studying every movement, action and reaction of his patient very minutely… After nearly two long hours, placing the now closed paper-pad and pen on the center-table, he finally moved back exhaling a heavy breath and smoothly rested his head on the headrest while softly pressing his eyes with his fingertips… After around a minute of remaining in the same posture, he stretched his body and closing the laptop screen, made his way inside the kitchen…

Soon he returned from the kitchen with a cup of hot tea and directly made his way towards the balcony, taking Abhijeet's mobile with himself… Sitting on the cane chair present there in a relaxed way, he started sipping his tea while sidewise looking at the sky which was now illuminated by the shining stars…

Sunil was quietly taking tea when his memories took him on a journey where…

Peace Meadows Asylum…

Sunil's Cabin…

Sunil was silently busy in his regular work inside his cabin when his mobile rang and seeing Abhijeet's name on the mobile screen…

Sunil quietly attended the call with: Abhijeet…

Abhijeet's plain silent voice cut him as: Daya ko hum ny aaj rescue ker lia hai…

Sunil nearly shouted in joy over the call as: What…! Daya mil gaya…?! Tum logon ny dhond lia ussy…?! That's so…

Abhijeet silently cut him again as: Sunil tum aa sakty ho kya iss waqt, foren…?

Sunil though had sensed something wrong from such silent tone but jerked off that feeling while nodding as: Of course Abhijeet, tum na bhi kehty tou bhi main foren aany wala tha…

Abhijeet requested quietly as: Apna medical bag aur aik Glucose ki drip ly aana sath please, Daya needs medical attention…

Sunil asked him confusingly as: Tum ussy hospital ly k nahin gaye kya…? Tum log CITY Hospital nahin ho…?

Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Nahin, main ussy ghar ly aaya hoon seedha… Tum jaldi aao please, I am waiting…

And he cut the line without having any further discussion while till then Sunil's nearly all excitement had vanished and grabbing the things Abhijeet had requested him, he left towards DUO's home as soon as he could…

DUO's Home…

Reaching at DUO's home, Sunil pressed the door bell and started waiting outside anxiously when soon Abhijeet opened the door and Sunil's remaining excitement vanished too, seeing his red swollen eyes and messy look and…

Sunil asked him in worried-shocked tone as: Abhijeet, tum roo rahy thy kya…?

Abhijeet avoiding the query, said quietly as: Ander aa jao, Daya apny room mein hai…

Sunil visibly looking worried now, entered inside and directly made his way towards Daya's room followed by Abhijeet who remained back to lock the main door…

Where Sunil had just taken few steps after entering in Daya's room when stopped in his way seeing Daya was lying there on the bed with closed eyes, having deep dark circles around his eyes, his color had turned pale and had lost much weight…

KAISA SILLLSILAAA, MAIRY SAAATH HUAAA,

KABHI HAIII KHUSHI, KABHI HAIIII GHAM BHARAAAA…

When Abhijeet entering inside and seeing him standing there like that, sighed and moving forward…

Abhijeet softly pressed his upper-arm with: Sunil…!

Sunil turning his attention towards him, asked him in disbelief as: Abhijeet yeh…

Abhijeet cut him while moving forward with: Teen mahiny kidnapped raha hai yeh Sunil, recreational trip sy nahin aaya wapis… (Softly spreading hand on the younger one's head, turned towards the latter with…) Examine kro issy please, bukhar bhi ho gaya hai issy kafi tezz…

Sunil composing his emotions, nodded and stepping forward soon got busy in his work while Abhijeet remained there in silence, looking at the younger one's face in complete silence who was now dressed in dry clothes…

Where being the frequent visitors of the hospital and for once not liking to stay there and to avoid any unforeseen situation where they could not go to any hospital and had to treat their injuries themselves, DUO had bought the drip-stand themselves which Abhijeet had now placed in Daya's room after taking it out from the store room…

Soon getting freed from Daya's side after dressing his wounds and attaching the Glucose drip with his arm…

Sunil turned his attention towards Abhijeet, telling him as: Drip mein sedative bhi inject ker dia hai, direct nahin dy sakta injection kyun k humien idea nahin hai k iss ny last time khana kb khaya ho ga jb k neend iss k liye bohut zarori hai iss samey…

Abhijeet nodded quietly with: Aur bukhar…?

Sunil, glancing over the water bowl and handkerchiefs present on the bed side table now, turned back towards Abhijeet with: Tumhari inn thandy pani ki pattion ny kaam ker dia hai, bukhar hai lekin itna tezz nahin hai ab… Injection dy dia hai uss k liye bhi, theek ho jaye ga subah tk… (And receiving a quiet node in return, he added as…) Aur Abhijeet mujhy Daya ka blood bhi laina ho ga, blood test k liye…

Abhijeet looked at him questionably as: Blood test…?

Sunil nodded while signaling towards the piercing marks on his arms with: I think iss ko drugs diye jaty rahy hain… (Abhijeet inhaled a sharp breath while Sunil looked at him again with…) Iss qisem k marks iss ki grrdn py bhi hain…

Abhijeet nodded in composed way with: Subah ly laina blood, aaj tum yahin ruuk jao please, humary sath…

Sunil nodded in assurance with: Main yahin hoon aaj Abhijeet, don't worry…

Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Thank you… Kb tk uthy ga yeh…?

Sunil inhaled deeply with: Teen char ghanton tk… (Abhijeet nodded silently while sitting beside the younger one and smoothly started rubbing the point with his thumb from where the cannula needle was pierced in the latter's arm while Sunil, just to have some conversation while sidewise closing his medical bag asked him casually as…) ACP sir nahin aaye kya…?

Abhijeet, still looking at the younger one's face, slightly shook his head with: Nahin, main ny mnna ker dia unhien, kal aaien gy shaid…

And bowing over the younger one's face, he lovingly stamped a soft kiss on his forehead while a drop silently slipped from his eye, falling on the latter's forehead and very well observed by Sunil, resulting…

Sunil asked him in care-filled-worried tone as: Abhijeet…?!

Abhijeet, moving back, slightly shook his head with: Iss waqt kuchh nahin pouchho Sunil, please, main jawab nahin dy sakon ga…

Sunil just nodded silently and thinking to give him some time alone with the latter, told him as: Main bahir hoon, lounge mein…

Abhijeet nodded quietly and he left outside towards the lounge when sitting on the couch there, he started wondering what could be the reason of that deep silence which was spread in the air of DUO's home…

TUJHY DHOOONDTY HOYE DILLL, AB HOOO GAYA HAI BAEDILLL,

AUR DHARKAAANOOO MEIN GHAM KIII, KAANCH HAIIIIIII…

And the same time Sunil snapped out from his thoughts with a soft pressure he felt on his shoulder and hence turned his gaze in the direction to find Abhijeet standing there, wearing a composed smile on his face…

Sunil inhaling deeply to compose himself, said in light smile as: Tum ny tou drra dia mujhy…

Abhijeet while sitting on the other chair present there replied smilingly as: Tum khoye hi kafi zada hoye thy, main ny tou aawaz bhi di thi tumhien, tum ny suni nahin…

Sunil looked at him in confused-shock with: Tum ny aawaz di thi mujhy…?

Abhijeet nodded slightly and nodding him back, Sunil turned his gaze away without saying anything while…

Abhijeet asked him smoothly as: Kahan khoye hoye thy tum wasey…?

Sunil slightly shook his head while spreading hand on his face with: Kahin nahin, yunhi…

Abhijeet smiled sadly with: Hmm, kahin nahin aur phir bhi chae thandi baraf ker li tum ny…?

Sunil looked towards the tea cup present in his hand which was still half-filled with tea as he did not realize when dipping in his thoughts, he had stopped sipping it… When trying to change the direction of the conversation…

Sunil trying to make his voice smiley, asked him as: Tum kafi jaldi nahin uth gaye…?

Abhijeet replied him calmly as: Takriben dhae ghanty soo lia hai, fresh ho gaya hoon ab bilkul… (Sunil nodded him in light smile while he asked him in straight tone as…) Ab tum btao gy k tum itny dull kyun lg rahy ho…?

Sunil slightly shook his head in disappointed smile with: Tum nahin mano gy… (Abhijeet shook his head in light smile resulted, sighing heavily, Sunil replied as…) Kuchh khas nahin, bs uss waqt k barey mein soch raha tha jb tumhari call aai thi hospital mein k tum logon ny Daya ko rescue ker lia hai… (Chuckled dreamily as…) Kitna khush ho gaya tha main, dil kia tha k bs urr k pohanch jaon ussy milny aur jb mila tou… (And he stopped there, when sighing heavily and shaking head in disappointed smile, he had turned his gaze towards Abhijeet who too looked at him in sad smile while he added as…) Bs wahin tk socha tha jahan tum ny koe sawal kerny sy rook dia tha… (Abhijeet moved his gaze away the same moment where Sunil stood up in silent smile as…) Tum baitho, dinner aaj main bnata hoon…

Abhijeet tried to stop him with: Arrey nahin Sunil, main bnata hoon na…

Sunil while placing hand on his shoulder, softly pushed him back on the chair with: Relax yar, achha khana bnna laita hoon main bhi… (Winked at him in soft mischievous smile with…) Bl k bohut bright chances hain k mairy hath ka khana kha ker tumhara sach mein irada bn jaye mujhy adopt kerny ka…

Abhijeet chuckled softly with: Aaj tk tou nahin bnna easa koe irada…?

Sunil shrugged casually as: Aaj tk main ny yeh offer jo nahin di thi tumhien…

Abhijeet let out a soft disappointed laugh where smilingly giving a friendly pat on his shoulder, Sunil left inside towards the kitchen, grabbing the tea cup with himself while in his way, glanced in sad smile over Daya's room, whose door was closed now…

While outside, having the same disappointed smile on his face, Abhijeet smoothly rested his head on the headrest, closing his eyes when the same chapter, whose second page Sunil had just opened in front of him, flashed on the screen of his memories too where…

DUO's Home…

Daya's Room…

Abhijeet was sitting beside Daya while silently weaving in his head when got worried seeing Daya getting restless in his sleep, moving his head agitatedly and suddenly had started sweating profusely while he was saying something in that unconscious state which Abhijeet could not figure out though he was continuously trying to calm him down…

When the voices coming from the room had grabbed Sunil's attention too, who was sitting in the lounge dipped in his thoughts, and the excitement of meeting Daya had returned… Resulting, Sunil hurriedly stood up, making his way towards Daya's room when stopped just at the doorstep seeing Daya moving his head anxiously in his sleep, mumbling something continuously where Abhijeet was trying to pacify him while patting his head, sidewise talking to him…

Sunil was too confused and shocked to take a step forward while he asked in tensed audible whispered tone as: Abhijeet…?!

Abhijeet glanced over him worriedly while sidewise wiping off the sweat drops from the latter's face with: Neend mein drr raha hai, koe bura sapna daikh raha hai yeh…

Sunil hurriedly stepping forward replied as: Ab tk kidnapping k trauma mein hai, main…

And he stopped right there in extreme shock where Abhijeet had also moved back the same moment letting out a low pitched groan with his palm placed on his forehead now while Daya was now sitting there with opened eyes, grabbing the alarm-clock tightly in his hand and looking around bewilderedly, trying to catch his breath and senses and in that he had turned his gaze towards Abhijeet and seeing the blood on Abhijeet's hand…

Daya's eyes had turned widened in shock with: Khkh-khoon… (Getting panicked hurriedly grabbed Abhijeet's wrist with…) Abhi, tumhary yeh khoon kaisy… (And the same moment, noticing the alarm-clock still present in his own hand, uttered in extreme shock as…) Mm-main ny…?! (Turned towards Abhijeet in panicked-shock as…) Abhi main ny kia kya yeh…?! Main ny yeh…

Abhijeet shook his head while cutting him softly as: Nahin, tu ny kuchh nahin kia, kuchh…

Daya while throwing the alarm-clock away now, shook his head with: Nahin tum jhoot bol rahy ho, main ny yeh kaisy, main… (Looking completely hesitant now to touch the latter, said in moist-pained tone as…) I am so sorry Abhi, I am so sorry… (While moving back on the bed, asked him as…) Tum mairy paas aaye kyun thy, tumhien nahin aana chahiye tha… (And in that he moved his gaze around in worry when moved back with a jerk with…) Sunil…?! (And glancing over Abhijeet who was not finding any time to speak, turned back towards Sunil while asking him pleadingly as…) Yeh, iss ko daikho please, main ny alarm-clock maar di issy…

Abhijeet tried again as: Daya tu ny…

Daya turned towards him with: Abhi tum nahin bolo please… (Turned back towards Sunil with…) Daikho na iss ko please jaldi, khoon nikl raha hai kitna…

Sunil, who was just standing there quietly while observing the two, nodded in composed way with: Main baraf ly k aata hoon, bleeding rokny k liye chahiye ho gi…

And he left from there while…

Daya looked back towards Abhijeet with: Abhi, I am so sorry yar, please mujhy maaf ker doo, mujhy…

Abhijeet pressed his palm softly with his free hand with: Daya please bchcha, kuchh nahin hua, aur ghalati mairi bhi tou hai na, mujhy yun tairy sooty mein tairy chehry ko nahin chhona chahiye tha, drr gaya tu…

Daya replied absent-mindedly as: Haan woh mujhy ptta nahin chala k mairy hath bandhy hoye nahin hain, tou woh…

A pain-filled shadow passed the elder one's face and…

Abhijeet said in consoling-moist tone as: Daya…!

And with that he softly pressed his palm, bringing the latter back where looking once in his eyes, Daya moved his gaze away and smoothly pulled out his hand from the elder one's soft grip…

DHUWAAAN DHUWAN HAI AANHIENNN, KYUN JLLLL RAHIII NIGAHIENNNN,

INN AAAANKHOOON K TLLY KAISI AAAANCH HAIIIII…?

Daya still looking away, told him in silent tone as: Abhi main jb soo raha hoon, mairy paas nahin aaya kro please, it is dangerous for you, tumhari aankh mein bhi lg sakta tha, please…

And taking out the drip needle from his own arm, he stood up and soon left inside the bathroom when the same time Sunil entered inside grabbing a bowl having ice cubes in it and approaching the injured soul, supportively pressed his shoulder… Abhijeet coming out from his pain-filled thoughts glanced over him once and had turned his gaze away again while…

Sunil sitting in front of him asked him softly as: Abhijeet iss taraf ho k baitho please, mujhy dressing kerni hai…

Abhijeet without saying anything obeyed the latter while throwing the tissues in the dustbin he was keeping on his wound till then… After caringly doing the dressing of his wound…

Sunil told him softly as: Shuker hai zada deep cut nahin hai, stitches ki zarorat nahin hai… (Taking a momentarily pause, asked him softly as…) Abhijeet ager dard zada hai tou painkiller dy dun koe…?

Abhijeet slightly shook his head absentmindedly with: Nahin, dard tou hai hi nahin…

Sunil said in deep tone as: Dard tou bohut hai Abhijeet… (Abhijeet looked towards him in silence while he added in meaningful tone as…) Aur shaid ussi shadeed dard k ehsas ny, iss dard k ehsas ko khatam ker dia hai… (Abhijeet just turned his gaze away to hide the moisture that was forming in his eyes now while Sunil stood up with…) Main hath dho k aata hoon…

Abhijeet said in quiet tone as: Uss k samny easi koe baat nahin kerna Sunil…

Sunil looked at him in sad smile with: Andaza ho chuka hai iss baat ka mujhy… (Seeing Abhijeet's questioning gaze shifted towards him, he added in straight tone as…) I am a psychiatrist Abhijeet, I can tell if a person is in some kind of psychological trauma, besides, none of you two are stranger to me… (Abhijeet moved his gaze away in silence with tightly pressed lips and closed eyes to fight back his sob and tears where Sunil glanced over the room clock with…) Jo injection uss ki drip mein add kia tha, ussy kmm-sy-kmm bhi teen ghanty baad uthna chahiye tha, aur woh derh ghanty mein uth gaya hai… (Turning towards the room door, said more to himself as…) Shaid kuchh zada hi bhayank sapna daikh lia uss ny…

And a single disobedient drop fell down in silence from the elder one's eye while Sunil had already left the room towards the guest room… Abhijeet wiping off the reminisces of that disobedience had inhaled a deep breath to compose his emotions… And less than a minute had passed when Daya hurriedly emerged from the bathroom, grabbing Abhijeet's attention and before he could ask him something about his bewildered look…

O RY ZINNNNDAGIII, TUJHY KYA KAHOOON,

JEEVAN MAIIIRAAA, KYUN HAI RAAAAKH HUAAAA…?

Daya's a little loud panicked voice rose as: Ab-Abhi, mairy kapry ks ny change kiye…?

Abhijeet, understood whole through that single query, replied calmly as: Main ny… (Explained softly as…) Woh geely ho gaye thy na, aur tumhien already bukhar hai iss liye change ker diye main ny…

Daya nodded reluctantly without looking at him with: Akely…?

Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Hmm, Sunil baad mein aaya hai…

Daya getting a little relaxed asked hesitantly as: Tum akely ly aaye kya mujhy bahir…?

Abhijeet exhaling heavily asked him softly as: Pehli baar mairy haththon mein behosh hoye ho kya tum jo easa bchchon wala sawal ker rahy ho tum…? (Daya nodded with a silent "Hmm" still looking away when seeing Daya was struggling now to keep standing, feeling dizzy, Abhijeet hurriedly jumping down from the bed, rushed towards him with a loud call of…) Daya…!

And Sunil, who had just returned from the guest room and already coming towards Daya's room, listening to the panic in Abhijeet's voice, entered inside in hurry to find Abhijeet grabbing the younger one's arm while supporting him, who was grabbing the wall with his free hand, trying to remain standing…

And seeing the situation, Sunil hurriedly stepped forward to help Abhijeet in supporting Daya when Abhijeet just looked at him while shaking his head in "No", requesting through eyes, making the latter stop in his way, who gave him an understanding-tensed node while shifting his worried gaze towards Daya…

YAHINNN KAHIN, MAIN HOOOON WAHIN,

JAHAAAN DUKHOOON KI RAAAAT HAI…

Where…

Abhijeet said softly as: Daya chalo bchchy, bed py ja k aaram sy baitho, aao shabash…

And he took him towards the bed while supporting him and in the meantime Sunil had adjusted the pillows there for him to sit comfortably… Seeing Daya, with his eyes closed, was sitting there comfortably in half lying posture now, Abhijeet had turned his worried-question-filled gaze towards Sunil and understanding well what must be the query…

Sunil while trying to make his voice normal replied as: Sedative ka assar hai abhi bhi aur bukhar bhi hai, oper sy weakness kafi hai, inhien sb karen sy dizzy hai abhi yeh, kuchh din rahy gi weakness…

Abhijeet nodded with: Tum yahan rukko iss k paas please, main kuchh light sa bnna k lata hoon iss k liye… (And receiving an assuring node in return, Abhijeet turned towards Daya while telling him softly as…) Daya main thori daer mein aata hoon, Sunil hai yahan tumhary paas…

Daya had neither opened his eyes nor said anything, just gave him a silent node and Abhijeet signaling Sunil towards Daya and receiving an understanding node in return, left from there towards the kitchen but had stopped just outside the room's door to make sure that Daya was alright in Sunil's company…

TU RAAAAH DY, PANAAAH DY,

K HRRR QADAM GHAAAAAT HAIIII…

Where Sunil after placing a chair near his bed, sat on it with: Achha Daya tum pehly mujhy yeh btao k tum ny drip kyun nikal di…?

Daya replied quietly with closed eyes as: Yunhi, mujhy nahin chahiye thi… (Opening his eyes had glanced over him for a moment and then moved his gaze away avoiding making any eye-contact with him while asking him slowly as…) Abhi ka ghaow zada gehra hai kya…?

Sunil slightly shook his head with: Nahin, bilkul bhi nahin, tension nahin lo, aik doo baar dressing change kerni ho gi bs, he is fine…

Daya nodded while saying to himself as: Uss ko mairy paas nahin aana chahiye tha iss tarhan… (Getting scared while asking to himself as…) Ager yahan py koe chakku waghaira rakha hota tou…

And he shivered badly on his own thought while outside Abhijeet had just closed his eyes in silence feeling the fear in the younger one's voice really well where…

Sunil, who was observing him minutely, tried softly as: Daya jo hua hi nahin hai uss barey mein soch k kyun preshan ho rahy ho tum…? (Trying to make the situation light, added in a smiley tone as…) Aur phir tumhary paas chakku waghaira kyun rakhny lgga woh, jb k sb janty hain k tum ny fruit basket tou ussi k samny ker daini hoti hai k wohi kaat k dy tumhien…

A pain-filled-sad smile approached the elder one's face but not even a slightest smile appeared on the younger one's face who moving back, silently rested his head on the headrest while closing his eyes again and…

Daya asked him silently as: Sir aaye…?

Sunil replied quietly as: Nahin… (While avoiding telling the actual reason, added himself as…) Aaj woh ghundy waghaira bhi tou pakry hoon gy na kuchh, unhien k sath busy hoon gy Bureau mein, kal aaien shaid…

Daya just nodded without saying anything this time while Sunil also sat there quietly and Abhijeet left towards the kitchen, getting satisfied that Sunil was handling the situation and Daya quite well…

Soon, after making vegetable soup, Abhijeet returned in Daya's room with a soup bowl and exchanging a silent glance with him…

Sunil stood up with: Abhijeet main ny yeh medicines nikal k rakhi hain, soup peila k yeh issy dy daina yaad sy please… (And receiving an assuring node from the latter, he turned towards Daya with…) Aur Daya medicines chup chap ly laina, bina koe nakhry kiye warna hospital shift hona prry ga, samjh gaye…?

Daya nodded quietly still without any slightest change in his posture and sighing heavily, Sunil again looked towards the elder one and…

Abhijeet while sitting beside Daya nodded Sunil in assurance with: Main dy dun ga medicines, don't worry…

Sunil nodded in silent smile with: Main guest room mein hoon, thori daer soo'on ga…

And receiving an understanding node from Abhijeet, he completely left the room while Abhijeet turned his complete attention towards the younger one, to find him now absentmindedly looking at the bandage on his forehead…

Abhijeet sighing heavily, called him softly as: Daya…! (And receiving no response, softly grabbed his upper arm with…) Daya…!

Resulting Daya came back from his thoughts with a loud jerk and instantly moved back, though Abhijeet had already removed his grip from his arm, when seeing Daya spreading hand on his face, trying to compose himself…

MAIRI ZAAAAT MEIN HAIII, YEH KOE HAI SEYAAAAHIIII,

K JO CHAAAHA MAINNNN NY WOOOH MIL K NA MILLAAAAA…

Abhijeet told him softly as: Daya, bchchy soup pei lo ab jaldi sy, iss k thanda hony sy pehly ta k phir medicines ly sako tum…

Daya nodded quietly while forwarding his hands with: Main khud pei lun ga Abhi, mujhy dy doo tray please… (Abhijeet without arguing on the matter, smoothly grabbed him the tray while Daya stirring spoon in the soup bowl, asked him in slow tone as…) Tum ny koe painkiller li…?

Abhijeet told him softly as: Main theek hoon Daya, aur tujhy Sunil ny bhi confirm ker dia na yeh…? (Daya turned his gaze towards him in question, Abhijeet nodded gently as…) Main bahir hi tha…

Daya nodded while turning his gaze back towards the soup bowl with: Abhi sir ko rokko please, mujhy sir sy nahin milna, mujhy kisi sy nahin milna…

NA HAI RAASTAAA, TOOTA WAAASTAAAA,

ARMAAANO KAAA, LUTTA HAIII QAAAFLAAAAA…

Abhijeet inhaling deeply to make his voice firm, replied as: Kyun nahin milna tumhien kisi sy Daya…? (Daya turned his pain-filled gaze towards him while Abhijeet nodded firmly looking deep in his eyes with…) Sb sy milo gy tum, samjhy… (Moved his hand to pat the latter's cheek but seeing him flinched with his eyes closed now and hand tightly clutching the spoon in it, with his free hand tightly closed in a fist, Abhijeet stopped and pulled back his hand while adding in soft tone as…) Bchcha jo bhi hua hai ussy aik bura sapna…

Daya, opening his eyes with a jerk, cut him in disbelief as: Bura sapna…?! (Repeated a little loudly and harshly this time as…) Bura sapna…?! (And suddenly started laughing loudly as…) Bura sapna…!

O RY ZINNNNDAGIII, TUJHY KYA KAHOOON,

JEEVAN MAIIIRAAA, KYUN HAI RAAAAKH HUAAAA…?

Abhijeet could not bear that laugh, feeling it some kind of dagger piercing in his heart, tried to stop him by grabbing his upper arm with: Daya, chup kro, bnd kro yeh hassi, chup ker jao…

Daya, who had already stopped laughing, turned his red pain filled eyes towards him while stressing on every next word coming from his mouth as: Doo maah, aik hafta, aur teen din, purey ekkatrr [71] rooz guzra hoon main uss azziyat sy jisy tum aik burey sapny ka naam dy rahy ho Abhijeet, purey ekkatrr rooz… (Shook his head in agony with…) Ekkatrr baar nahin, ekkatrr rooz… (Turned his face away with a broken-toned whisper as…) Baar ki tou ab mujhy ginti bhi yaad nahin…

And he harshly wiped off the drop that had slipped from his eye where…

Abhijeet's moist voice, completely dipped in pain, rose as: Daya, I am sorry bchcha, ager hum tujhy jaldi dhond laity tou…

Daya cut him plainly with: Tou bhi kuchh nahin hota Abhi… (Told him in injured tone as…) Kidnapping k pehly hafty sy hi shuru ho gaya tha woh sb… (Abhijeet had just closed his eyes tightly while tightly pressed lips to chock his sob or any hurt-filled scream while Daya turned his gaze towards him with…) Khud ko dosh mtt doo tum, tumhary karen hi main aaj ghar py hoon… (And while placing the tray on the bed, concluded tiredly as…) Abhi yeh ly jao please, mujhy nahin peina…

Abhijeet tried as: Daya please thora sa…

Daya getting hyper now, cut him as: Kaha na nahin peina mujhy… (While harshly wiping off the moisture from his face, turned his face away with…) Yeh medicine, soup, care, kuchh nahin chahiye mujhy… (Whispered in completely moist tone as…) Mrr nahin jaon ga main inn k baghair, nahin mrron ga…

JUDAAAA JUDA, KHAFAAAA KHAFA, KYUN KHUD SY HOOO GAYEEE HAIN HUM,

KYUN BAEEE-SABAB, AAE MAIIIRY RAB, HAIN BERH RAHY MAIIIRY GHAM…?

Abhijeet replied in wet-tough-firm tone as: Main tujhy mrrny dun ga bhi nahin Daya… (Daya looked towards him with cracks in his eyes while Abhijeet repeated himself with…) Main nahin mrrny dun ga tujhy, kabhi nahin…

Daya moving his gaze away and resting his head on the headrest closed his eyes with: Abhi mujhy akela chhor doo please, main thori daer akela rehna chahta hoon…

Abhijeet tried again as: Daya please thora sa soup pei lo ta k main tumhien medicine dy sakon, tum bohut weak ho gaye ho bchcha…

Daya, who was listening to him quietly now, turned his wrecked gaze towards him with: Mujhy force nahin kro please… (Requested in cracked tone as…) Tum tou nahin kro please…

And two drops slipped from his both eyes at the same time while Abhijeet had just turned his face away to hide his tears and Daya had moved back to his previous posture again, without caring to wipe off the moisture still present on his face…

YEH JO HAIII ANDHERAAA, HAI KYA QASOOOOR MAIIIIRAAA,

ISS BHEER MEIN BHI TANHA, HAIN KYUN HUM KHARYYYYY…?

After few moments' complete silence in the room…

Abhijeet asked in slow-composed tone as: Daya tumhien regularly drugs diye gaye hain kya, addict kerny k liye…?

Daya replied emotionlessly: Nahin…

Abhijeet exhaled a relax sigh but then getting confused too, asked him as: Tou phir yeh marks tumhary bazu aur…

And he had stopped right there sitting there like a statue and for a moment he had wished desperately that Daya would had replied in affirmative in response of the earlier query, because of the two words answer Daya had given blankly as "Rape drugs" and now those two words were feeling like a mountain of anguish harshly fallen on the elder one… When after around a minute of composing himself and finding his voice back…

Abhijeet while fighting back his tears, asked him in rage-filled-moist tone as: Daya koun thy woh…?

Daya still without opening his eyes, asked emptily as: Koun…?

Abhijeet repeated himself with struggling to make his voice firm as: Ks ny chhua tujhy…?

Daya slowly opening his eyes looked towards him and for a moment their gazes met and then he closed his eyes again, moving back to his previous posture with: Jb shirt change ki thi… (Still with closed eyes, tapped his forefinger near his left shoulder with…) Jawab dikha nahin tumhien…? (Smiled sarcastically as…) Naam tou dil py likha hai mairy…

Abhijeet, who was too angry and shocked to reply anything, came in rage with that last comment with: Shut up Daya…

Daya said him in exhausted tone as: Jaty hoye drwaza aur light off ker daina please, mujhy ab roshni achhi nahin lgti, vehshat hoti hai bohut…

Abhijeet feeling, he could not take that anymore, stood up grabbing the tray and standing near him and fighting back his own tears, he softly spread hand on the younger one's head who had just inhaled a deep breath in response…

AB ROONY SYYY, MAIRY HOOOONY SYYY,

KUCHH HOOONA HAI, TOU HONAAA HAI BURAAAA…

While…

Abhijeet told him in fiery-wet tone as: Tujhy tou iss ghaow sy nahin bcha skka main Daya lekin js js ny tujhy yeh ghaow dia hai ya dainy waly ka sath dia hai, kisi ko nahin chhoron ga main, pataal sy bhi kheench nikalon ga, wada hai yeh maira tujh sy, wada hai maira…

And stamping a soft kiss on the latter's head he had left the room with fast steps while fulfilling the younger one's both requests… When he stopped on his room's door for a moment, hearing the muffled crying voices coming out from the room now though he easily understood that Daya must had buried his face in a pillow or had placed his palm on his mouth while trying his best not to let his agony-filled screams or harsh sobs cross the boundary of his room…

Resulting Abhijeet rushed away from there towards the kitchen and placing the tray on the kitchen counter, he himself sat on the floor there, burying his face in his knees and letting the pain of seeing his brother broken like that, fell down from his eyes, to make room for the energy and strength he would be needing before facing the latter again…

O RY ZINNNNDAGIII, TUJHY KYA KAHOOON,

JEEVAN MAIIIRAAA, KYUN HAI RAAAAKH HUAAAA…?

Abhijeet was so deeply involved in his thoughts when a soft care-filled tap on his shoulder, brought him back from that pain-filled journey…
