Friends here is the next chapter, please enjoy… :))


DUO's Home…

Daya's Room…

Abhijeet's aching heart felt a little sooth after letting his pain and helplessness flow out from his eyes in the form of salty rain, on the shoulder of his brother… Awhile later, he slowly moved back, still sobbing and wiping off his completely washed face…

Abhijeet spreading hand on the younger one's head, whispered in moist tone as: Bchcha main yahin hoon tairy paas Daya, please… (Anger-filled-pain came in his voice with…) Shastri ny tairi aankhon sy mairi pehchan chheni hai baita, dil sy nahin… (Urged him in moist-love-filled tone as…) Ager aankhon sy nahin bhi daikh paa raha tu mujhy tou dil sy mehsos ker mairi jaan, main tairy paas hi hoon… (Softly placing hand on his cheek, added in loving tone as…) Aur phir tu tou maira emotional bchcha hai na Daya, hamesha dil sy hi tou sb mehsos kerta hai, ab bhi mehsos ker na tairy Abhi ko tairy paas, haan… (Busy in his talking with the younger one, unknowingly softly grabbed his right palm with…) Baita main… (But stopped the same moment seeing Daya moved his head in pain while letting out a light groan and Abhijeet's mind instantly sparked and he smoothly released the younger one's hand the same instant with…) Sorry bchcha, sorry… (And hurriedly wiping off the moisture from his own face, he, this time very carefully, examined the younger one's right hand without grabbing it and few words came out from his mouth without him even trying as…) Hye bhagwan, iss ka hath tou soujh raha hai… (Looked towards the younger one's face while snubbing him in worry-filled-love with…) Mnna kia tha na tujhy mtt maar yun hath, baat nahin sunta kabhi, lagwa li na ab chot… (Stood up with…) Ptta nahin kya kron main taira Daya, bewakoof larka…

And in same tension filled frustration he left inside the bathroom and soon returned after washing his face and then directly made his way outside the room towards the kitchen while sidewise grabbing his mobile on which he was dialing a number now…

Seeing the call got attended, without even giving anytime to the latter for greetings…

Abhijeet came on the point with: Haan Sunil woh Daya ko chot lg gae hai hath py, swelling bhi hai, kb tk aa rahy ho…?

Sunil, sensing the worry and stress from the latter's voice left all the queries for later while replying as: Panch minute mein hospital sy nikl raha hoon, aadhy ghanty mein wahan hoon ga…

Abhijeet nodded with: Hmm Okay, aur please yar tum drwaza khud khol laina, tumhary paas chabi hai na ghar ki, main Daya k paas hoon ga…

Sunil nodded understandingly with: Don't worry about it Abhijeet, main bs nikl raha hoon yahan sy…

Abhijeet nodded with: Chalo theek hai phir, bye…

Sunil replied as: Hmm bye…

And the call got ended from both sides where Abhijeet soon returned in the younger one's room, grabbing a bowl of chilled water and few cloth strips…

Entering in the room, Abhijeet reached near his brother and sitting beside him, he squeezed the dipped cloth strip while taking it out from the water bowl and caringly placed it on the younger one's hand's swollen part, making Daya flinch who moved his head restlessly in pain and…

Abhijeet hurriedly placing his free hand on his head tried to comfort him with: Shh bs Daya, abhi theek ho jaye ga bchcha, bs, shhh…

And bowing over his face he stamped a soft kiss on his forehead and for the next few minutes he kept sitting there, continuously placing the cold strips on the latter's hand's swollen part while sidewise comforting him by weaving in his head with his free hand, easing the younger one's both pains of body and soul…

After few minutes seeing the redness and swelling had decreased now and the latter was looking at a little ease now, Abhijeet left the room towards the kitchen grabbing the water bowl and cloth strips with himself and soon returned after getting freed from the kitchen…

Few minutes had passed since Abhijeet was sitting beside his brother while absent-mindedly weaving in the younger one's head and looking at his face in silence when came out from his thoughts with a little jerk after feeling a soft pressure on his shoulder and he looked in the direction to find Sunil present there and few words instantly escaped…

The elder one's mouth in worry as: Sunil, shuker hai tum aa gaye… (Signaling towards the latter's right hand, added as…) Daikho yeh iss ka hath…

Sunil caringly pressed his shoulder with: Abhijeet relax… (While moving to the other side of the lying figure added as…) Main aa gaya hoon na, daikh laity hain abhi…

And while sitting beside the latter, Sunil smoothly grabbed the younger one's hand, resulted he groaned and…

Abhijeet instantly uttered in real worry while placing his hand in the younger one's head with: Sunil yar aaram sy na, kya ker rahy ho, ussy dard ho raha hai… (Sunil, who had already stopped examining the younger one, gave the elder one a cold piercing look resulted Abhijeet cleared his throat while hiding his eyes now with…) Mm-Maira matlab hai k thora pyar sy kro na, aaram sy…

Sunil shaking his head disappointedly started opening his medical bag while asking casually as: Wasey yeh chot lggi kaisy issy…?

Abhijeet got silent for a moment and then replied in a composed tone as: Room sy bahir jana chah raha tha… (Sunil gave him a shock-filled-questioning look while he added as…) Hyper ho raha tha kafi tou main ny mild sedative dy k sula dia…

Sunil nodded while wearing the stethoscope and trying to sound casual, asked him as: Aaj iss tarhan achanak room sy bahir kyun jana chah raha tha yeh…? Any idea…?

Abhijeet replied quietly as: Recording daikho gy na, daikh laina tb…

Sunil looked towards him for a moment and then nodding to him, left all the queries for now, understanding well that it was getting difficult and to some extent hurting for the elder one to recall all that had happened…

In the meantime, after checking Daya's Blood Pressure too…

Sunil turned towards Abhijeet with: Iss ki heart beat ab bhi disturb hai aur Blood Pressure bhi high hai… Mujhy issy kuchh medicines daini hoon gi, iss ny lunch ker lia hai kya…?

Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Nahin woh breakfast late kia tha aaj tou lunch k time py soo raha tha yeh, thori daer pehly milkshake pia tha bs…

Sunil nodded while adding casually as: Chalo theek hai, no problem… (Looked towards him calmly with…) Ab tum easa kro k jaldi sy jao aur mairy liye aik achha sa cup chai ka bnna k ly aao…

Abhijeet who was too concerned towards his brother at the moment that wasn't expecting to hear something like that and hence asked as an instant reaction as: Kya…?

Sunil repeated himself in calm-casual smile as: Chai, jaldi sy, achhi si, aur garam garam, bilkul tumhary ghussy k jaisi…

Abhijeet gave him a burning look with: Bkwas nahin kro, aur kaam kro, kaam…

Sunil moving back replied smilingly as: Daikho bhai, jaisy aik gari petrol k baghair nahin chal sakti, wasey hi mairi zindagi ki gari chai k baghair nahin chal sakti… (Added like was adding in the latter's information as…) Tumhari call aany py, tumhari honor mein apny haththon ki bnae hue, bhaap nikalti hue grama garm chai ka woh barra wala white cup chhor k aaya hoon main, aur haan, sath mein mairy favorite Coconut waly biscuit bhi thy…

Abhijeet teased him instantly as: Tb tou tumhien maira shukriya kerna chahiye k tumhien tumhary haththon ka bnaya hua syrup peiny sy bcha lia main ny…

Sunil gave him a piercing look with: Tou ab jao zrra tum aur jaldi sy ly k lao apny haththon sy bnaya hua amrit… (While signaling him towards his medical-bag, declared in complete cold tone as…) Warna yeh prra hai sb kuchh, tum khud ker lo sb…

Abhijeet really suppressing his desire to kill the latter right then and there replied fumingly as: Mujhy sb samajh aa rahi hai, tum mujhy bahany sy kamry sy bhaijna chah rahy ho, hai na…?

Sunil replied in complete chill as: Bilkul sahi aur ab jb tum yeh baat samajh hi gaye ho tou bahir bhi chaly jao, jao shabash…

Abhijeet stood up while declaring burningly as: Dil tou ker raha hai k chai mein thora sa zeher bhi mila dun main…

Sunil gave him a teasingly-sweet smile with: Dhanny bhag mairy jo Abhijeet sir mairi yaad mein apni grrdn mein rssa daal k jhoola jhoolny ki khwahish rakhty hain…

Abhijeet, who was fuming in anger now, replied furiously as: Ptta nahin ks pagal ny tumhien dimagh ka doctor bnna dia hai, tum ko tou khud ko dimagh k elaj ki zarorat hai…

Sunil replied in complete relaxed way with: Bohut sy log keh chukky hain mujhy yeh, koe achha doctor ho nazar mein tou zaror bttana…

Abhijeet gave him a pinching look with: Aik hain tou bohut achhy doctor nazar mein, dimagh, dil sb k, aur postmortem k tou expert hain, kaho tou bhijwa dun unn k paas…?

Sunil gave him a burning look with: Chai sirf aik cup hi bnana, mujhy surreal logon ki company mein chai peina pasand nahin hai…

Abhijeet told him in straight tone as: Main order sirf sir k manta hoon…

Sunil instantly pinched him with: Woh bhi jb mnn ho… (Added mischievously as…) Warna most of the time tou…

And he intentionally left the sentence incomplete while winking at the latter and…

Abhijeet just jerked his head in frustration with: Hunh…

And he turned towards the room door when…

Sunil asked him from behind as: Baat suno, apna mobile yahin chhor k jao tum… (Abhijeet turned towards him with fiery look while Sunil completely unbothered about those heat waves, completed as…) Warna tum kitchen sy cheekhien maro gy k main ny tumhary bhai ka hath toor dia…

Abhijeet warned him as: Tum na mairy haththon aaj sach mein kharch ho jao gy Sunil… (And then furiously placing his mobile on the floor completed as…) Yeh lo pakro, thonso…

And he marched out from the room still grumbling about having such an annoying friend in his life while the latter shaking his head disappointedly stood up still smiling about the constant death threats he was getting, though was happy that he had successfully changed the mood of the latter which he had found much stressed and lost when reached there…

Earlier in the tension and hurry of attending Daya, Abhijeet had left the almirah opened after taking out the syringe and injection vial from there, and now Sunil was headed towards the opened almirah to take out the Glucose drip, cannula and a small remote from there…

Moving back in the room, Sunil looked towards the ceiling and stretching his arm towards there, pressed a button from the remote, resulting a plastic tube like steel wire slowly came down, at the end of which a small steel hook was fixed, on which Sunil had hung the Glucose drip bottle and then he left to place the remote back in the almirah

As considering Daya's health, the elder one always made it sure to have everything available at home which could be needed in case of any emergency and as there were chances of Daya, in his sleep due to restlessness, could fall the drip stand on himself, therefore to avoid that possibility, Abhijeet had used the idea of steel wire with the hook…

Returning towards Daya, who was already lying in the middle of the room hence there was no need to shift him so that the drip tube could reach him, Sunil sat beside him, getting busy in attending him…

Soon Abhijeet returned with a cup of hot tea and a plate of biscuits served in a tray to find the room empty, hence he looked around and then seeing Sunil's closed bag, he understood it that the latter must had gone to the guest room to wash his hands, as Daya's room's bathroom door could only get open with either one of the brothers' thumb-prints…

Seeing Sunil returning in the room now…

Abhijeet signaled him towards the served tray with: Tumhari chai…

Sunil after glancing at the single cup served there had appreciated the latter with: Wah bhae, kafi obedient ho gaye ho tum tou…

Abhijeet knowing well what he actually meant replied as: Maira mnn nahin tha chai peiny ka, Daya k sath milkshake pia tha main ny bhi…

Sunil, who was already sitting now, started opening his bag's pocket with: Good good, wasey tumhien daikh k tou lg raha tha k tumhara chai bnnany ka bhi koe mnn nahin tha…

Abhijeet gave him a burning look with: Ho gaya…? (Looked towards the younger one with…) Ab btao kaisa hai yeh…?

Sunil, who had already closed his bag after taking out a biscuit roll from there, started opening it with: X-Ray laina ho ga hath ka…

Abhijeet exclaimed in real shock as: Kya…? X-Ray…? (Coming in anger, added as…) Tumhari na zaban hi kali hai, manhos baat ki thi, wohi sach ho gae…

Sunil giving him a burning look replied as: Ab tk hue nahin hai, X-Ray lainy k baad hi ptta chaly ga k kitni kali hai mairi zaban… (Signaling towards his hand, added as…) Aur wasey na, iss ka hath daikhny sy hi ptta chal raha hai k kuchh grrbrr hai yahan… (Looked at him again with…) Lekin woh daikhny k liye khisky hoye dimagh k doctor ki zarorat hai, khisky hoye dimagh k CID officer ki nahin, hunh… (Seeing the worry had again taken its place on the elder one's face, Sunil casually forwarded the opened biscuit pack towards him with…) Biscuit khao gy, Coconut waly hain…

Abhijeet gave him a worry-filled-serious look with: Sunil…!

Sunil inhaling deeply moved back his hand and turning serious too, consoled him as: Abhijeet relax, iss mein itni tension wali koe baat nahin hai yar… (Abhijeet looked towards him in hope so he nodded to him with…) Doo din baad tou iss ko wasey bhi ly k jana hi tha tests k liye, ab doo din pehly sahi…

Abhijeet nodded while letting out a deep breath with: Hmm, main Salunkhy sir sy…

Sunil cut him with: Main ker lun ga sir sy baat, tum utho foren aur chalo…

Abhijeet asked him confusingly with: Kahan…?

Sunil signaled him towards a place near the wall with: Wahan…

And seeing Sunil preparing an injection now, understanding the whole…

Abhijeet tried as: Sunil mujhy bilkul neend nahin aa rahi yar…

Sunil stood up with: Iss liye sedative dainy lgga hoon tumhien, uth jao ab jaldi sy, mairi chai thandi ho rahi hai…

Abhijeet letting out a disappointed chuckle stood up with: Wasey yeh biscuit roll sath mein lany ki kya zarorat thi, yahan biscuit nahin milny thy kya tumhien…?

Sunil pinched him with: Chai ka kehny py itni dhamkian mili hain, biscuit ka kehny py tou jaan sy hi maar daity tum…

Abhijeet, who was lying now, replied in utter disappointment as: Haan aur tum tou bohut shareef ho jo aaram sy mrr bhi jaty, hai na…?

Sunil while rubbing spirit swab on the latter's arm, tried to assure him as: Arry bilkul, main tou bachpan sy hi bohut shareef raha hoon yeh tou tumhary bigry hoye bhai ny bigar dia mujhy bhi…

Abhijeet warned him with: Maira baiyan hath free hai Sunil, main tumhien ghooma k dun ga aik ager uss ko ly k kuchh faltu bkka tou… (Sunil just gave him a naughty smile while piercing the syringe needle in the latter's arm where Abhijeet added as…) Sunil but seriously, kya herket thi yeh…?

Sunil shrugging his shoulders replied casually as: Yar jaldi mein chai tou daal nahin sakta tha bag mein, biscuit roll hath mein tha, wohi rakh lia aur bhag aaya… (While taking out the syringe he pressed the cotton swab on the prick mark and looked towards him while adding as…) Aur tum achhy sy janty ho k formality wala bnda nahin hoon main, jahan formalities hoon main wahan jata hi nahin bilkul…

Abhijeet nodded smilingly with: Hmm yeh tou khair mujhy ptta hai achhy sy… Achha khair… (Taking out a memory chip from his trousers' pocket, forwarded it towards Sunil with…) Room ki recordings…

Sunil giving him an understanding nod, grabbed it from him and told him in soft friendly tone as: Ab tum relax ho k soo jao, Daya ki drip mein main ny pain-killer k sath, sedative ki bhi heavy dose add ker di hai ta k woh apna hath move na ker skky, so just relax, tum zada sy zada teen char ghanton mein uth jao gy, sleep well…

And giving a soft pat on the elder one's shoulder he stood up and soon left the room to dispose of the syringe and other things, seeing Abhijeet had slowly closed his eyes, feeling relaxed from the younger one's side…

Soon Sunil returned in the room after washing his hands to find both brothers were now sleeping peacefully there hence he silently made his way towards the served tray and bowing over it, he cautiously touched the tea cup, bringing an instant grumble from…

Sunil's mouth as: Daikha thandi kerwa di na mairi chai… Neeyat hi nahin thi iss surreal ki mujhy chai pilany ki, lekin main bhi chai pei k hi manon ga, hunh…

And in such grumbles he left towards the kitchen grabbing the tea tray and mobiles of both his' and Abhijeet's with himself…

Kitchen…

Coming in the kitchen, Sunil after pouring his tea in the saucepan, put it on the now turned on stove and himself got busy in searching for the biscuit jar in the cupboard, when soon spotting it, he grabbed it and taking it down, opened it and emptied the plate and then half Coconut biscuit roll in the jar, preventing them from getting soggy and then closing the jar, he placed it back… Till then the tea had almost reached to the boiling point, hence turning off the stove he poured the tea in the washed cup and then washing the utensils, he left towards the guest room grabbing the tea-tray with himself while on his way, from the lounge's couch, he had grabbed his laptop bag too…

Guest Room…

Reaching in the room, Sunil first made himself comfortable on the bed and while sidewise taking his tea, he switched on his laptop and soon got busy in studying the recent recordings saved in the memory chip, provided to him by Abhijeet…

Sunil very carefully and minutely studied all the recordings especially of today's one while taking notes too and then after nearly two long hours, he moved back on the bed, leaning on the bed crown while closing his eyes and the laptop screen…

Taking few moments for himself to relax his thoughts and emotions, he stood up and then placing the shutdown laptop back in its bag, he moved out from the room grabbing the tray too and placing the laptop bag on the couch, he left inside the kitchen… Soon he got free from there and coming in the lounge he switched on the TV and turning the volume on zero, he set a documentary channel and started watching it in the try to divert his mind, but his try did not prove successful as soon Sunil's mind diverted to the place where…

Peace Meadow's Asylum…

Sunil's Cabin…

After telling Abhijeet about Daya's initial blood test reports, Sunil was composedly busy in his work now when his mobile rang and he turned his gaze towards the ringing mobile when seeing the caller ID, he inhaled a deep breath and then grabbing the mobile…

Sunil, trying to sound fresh, attended the call with: Bilkul sahi timing hai bhae tumhari, maira bhi mnn ker raha tha tum sy baatien kerny ka… (Listening only silence in reply, Sunil getting alert, asked in concerned tone as…) Abhijeet, kya hua, tum theek ho…?

And in reply he got only one word slow-toned silent "Nahin" and…

Sunil understanding well that something serious must had happened, stood up with: Main aa raha hoon foren…

And the call got dropped from the other side while Sunil was already headed towards the cabin's door now…

DUO's Home…

Sunil's had reached at DUO's home as soon as he could and now was going to ring the doorbell when noticing something, he slightly pushed the main door, to see it getting opened, increasing his tension…

Lounge…

Entering inside the home, Sunil closing the main door first locked and bolted it and then left towards the lounge to find the helpless figure sitting in the lounge's couch, resting his head on the headrest and gazing blankly at the ceiling, looking lost in his pool of pain and hurt…

Sunil gulping down a deep breath, made his way towards the elder one and supportively pressed his shoulder, bringing Abhijeet back in present with a jerk who looked towards his side and seeing him present there…

Abhijeet said in hurt-filled tone as: Aik baar ja k uss ko daikh lo, shaid tumhary kuchh sawalon k jawab wahin mil jaien…

And he closed his eyes in silence while resting his head on the headrest again where Sunil had left towards Daya's room to find him now sleeping with bandage on his arm and neck… He looked around in the room, spotting the broken perfume bottle too and then without entering inside, he returned after closing the room door…

Sitting beside Abhijeet he silently wrapped his arm around his shoulders while smoothly pulling him towards himself and soon Abhijeet's low crying voice could be heard in the lounge where Sunil did not even once try to stop him, instead kept consoling him with his presence beside him, sidewise giving him time to speak by himself…

After few minutes, seeing him little calmed and had smoothly moved back, Sunil grabbing the tissue box from the center table caringly forwarded it towards him, who grabbed the box in silence while Sunil giving a silent-supportive pat on his shoulder, stood up and left towards the kitchen… Soon he returned while grabbing a water glass to find the lounge empty so he looked around in search when seeing Abhijeet returning from his room after washing his face, he gave him a silent smile and then both sat on the couch and…

Sunil forwarding the water-glass towards him, asked him softly as: Pani pei lo Abhijeet, you will feel better…

Abhijeet nodding to him in silence grabbed the glass from him and took a small sip when after few moments had passed in same silence…

Abhijeet said in silent-but-scared voice as: Aaj sy hi uss ki therapy shuru kro Sunil please, mujhy bohut drr lggny lgga hai ab, bohut zada drr…

Sunil looked towards him in concern with: Hua kya hai Abhijeet…? I can sense kuchh barri baat hue hai, lekin kya…? Mairy liye jan'nana zarori hai Abhijeet, please…

Abhijeet nodding to him started telling him all that had happened between him and Daya, adding as: First aid dainy k baad, sedative dy k bohut mushkil sy sulaya hai main ny ussy… (Looked towards Sunil with the element of horror in his eyes with…) Sunil tum ny uss samey uss ki aankhon mein janoon, woh pagalpan nahin daikha, ager main uss ki baat na manta, woh sach mein khud ko khatam ker laita… (Repeated unbelievably with…) Woh mairi aankhon k samny khud ko maar laita Sunil, woh…

Sunil, who was listening to him in complete silence and alert till then, consolingly grabbed his sweaty palm with: Abhijeet relax, woh theek hai, tum ny ussy kuchh nahin hony dia, just relax… (Abhijeet nodded still trying to compose himself drinking the remaining water left in the glass in one go while Sunil understanding the intensity of the situation quite well, smoothly freeing his hand, added as…) Tum theek keh rahy ho Abhijeet, Daya sy baat kerna zarori ho gaya hai ab… (Asked him as…) Tum ny koe baat ki kya uss sy therapy ko ly k…?

Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Nahin, aur mujh sy ho gi bhi nahin… (Looked towards him helplessly-in-pain with…) Woh-woh roony lg jata hai yar, bohut zada roony lggta hai, mujh sy nahin ho gi…

Sunil understanding his situation well, nodded with: It's Okay Abhijeet, relax, koe baat nahin… (Softly assured him as…) Main khud baat kron ga uss sy, apny tareqy sy, tum chinta nahin kro please, main aaj hi baat kerta hoon uss sy, hmm…?

Abhijeet nodded while asking in worry as: Tum kaisy baat kro gy uss sy Sunil…?

Sunil gave him a soft smile with: Kaha na, tum chinta nahin kro bilkul… (Told him in slow-silent tone as…) Easa yeh maira first case nahin hai… (Abhijeet looked at him in pain while Sunil caringly pressed his shoulder with…) Main sambhal lun ga, just trust me…

Abhijeet nodded while wiping off the moisture from his eyes with: Sunil ussy logon ka drr hai bohut zada lekin woh yeh samajh hi nahin paa raha k uss ki khud ki halat kafi hai sb ko sb kuchh bttany k liye… (Looked towards him with…) Tumhien bhi tou pehli baar mein hi andaza ho gaya tha na, sir bhi uss rooz k baad nahin aaye warna unhien bhi sach jan'nany mein zada samey nahin lggy ga bilkul… (Added in pain-filled-fiery tone as…) Aur phir achha hi hai na, main tou chahta hoon k puri duniya ko sach ptta chaly ta k Shastri ka ghinawna chehra sb k samny aaye…

Sunil getting alert now asked him as: Abhijeet tumhien andaza hai kya k tum kya keh rahy ho…?

Abhijeet looked in his eyes with moist eyes though firm body language and tone as: Achhy sy janta hoon main Sunil aur main chahta hoon k tum kisi bhi tarhan ussy convince kro k Daya apny oper hoye zulm k khilaf aawaz uthaye aur court mein case file kry…

Sunil, taking few moments to compose himself, replied as: Abhijeet main janta hoon k tumhary andr aag lggi hue hai iss samey lekin Daya k liye yeh itna aasan nahin ho ga…

Abhijeet nodded with: Samajhta hoon main yeh baat Sunil, uss k liye mushkil ho ga lekin na-mumkin tou nahin…

Sunil nodded while inhaling a deep breath with: Main apni puri koshish kron ga Abhijeet lekin mairi tum sy aik request hai please… (Seeing Abhijeet's questioning gaze on himself, he added as…) Tum uss k treatment k beech mein nahin aao gy please…?

Abhijeet nodded understandably with: Main samajhta hoon Sunil, tumhien jo sahi lggy woh kro, tumhien mairi puri permission hai lekin please bs mairy Daya ko theek ker doo, ussy wapis ly aao inn andheron sy, please…

Sunil while wiping off the fresh drops fell from the elder one's eyes, replied him in supportive-caring tone as: Abhijeet hum mil k laien gy ussy wapis, himmet rakho please, jald sb theek ho jaye ga… (Abhijeet nodded him in silence where Sunil thinking something, inhaling a deep breath, took out his flat's keys from his pocket and forwarded them towards Abhijeet with…) Abhijeet tum mairy ghar chaly jao please… (Abhijeet looked towards him in confusion-filled-question who added as…) Wahan ja k rest kro thora, main hoon yahan Daya k paas…

Abhijeet said as: Lekin main yahan mairy room mein…

Sunil softly pressed his palm while cutting him with: Abhijeet please, tumhien andaza hai na k mairy profession mein mairy patient ka mujh py trust hona sb sy zarori hai… Aur tumhien tou yun bhi already sb ptta hai, please, main chahta hoon k jb main Daya sy baat kron tou ghar py sirf hum dono hi hoon, please…

Abhijeet inhaled a deep breath and nodded to him with: I understand Sunil… (Looked towards him in silent smile with…) Tumhien lgta hai k shaid woh apny ander kuchh easi baatien bhi dbba k baitha hua hai jo mairy samny nahin ker paa raha kyun k ussy drr hai k main hurt hoon ga… (Sunil just kept silence while looking away while Abhijeet shook his head in injured smile with…) Tumhien js baat ka shak hai, mujhy uss baat ka yaqeen hai Sunil… (Sunil looked towards him who added as…) Woh sach mein apny ander bohut kuchh dbba k baitha hua hai… (Asked him in concern as…) Tum theek raho gy kya, sb suun k…?

Sunil gulping down a deep breath, nodded in composed smile with: Hmm, maira tou kaam hi yeh hai, don't worry… (And then avoiding the topic, he took out his mobile and pressed few buttons on it, resulted soon Abhijeet's mobile beeped and he told him as…) Abhijeet main ny tumhien aik medicine ka naam send kia hai, ghar ja k kitchen mein jo medicine cabinet hai, uss mein ho gi yeh medicine, dodh k sath aik goli ly laina please yaad sy aur phir soo jana, you really need rest, promise…?

Abhijeet nodded in soft smile with: Hmm promise, tum Daya k sath sath apna bhi khayal rakhna, promise…?

Sunil chuckled lightly with: Hmm promise, ab tum cab bula lo aur ja k rest kro…

Abhijeet nodded and booked a cab which soon arrived and he left from there towards Sunil's flat while Sunil kept sitting there in the lounge, figuring his first session with Daya…

Suddenly feeling a light pain in his foot, Sunil opened his eyes and looked towards the floor to find the remote slipped out from his hand and after hitting his foot was now present on the floor…
