Friends here is the next chapter, have a happy reading… :))


DUO's Home…

Kitchen…

Entering in the kitchen, Abhijeet placing the tray on the kitchen slab had tightly grabbed the slab's edge, trying to calm down the wave of emotions rose inside him when soon he let out a soft chuckle in surprise-filled-sooth, like was still struggling to believe what the younger one had just told him though two drops had simultaneously fallen from his eyes, reflecting clearly the pain-filled-joy of his heart…

Leaving towards the refrigerator, Abhijeet took out a bottle of cold water from there and while sitting on the kitchen chair, opening the water bottle he drank few sips from it directly, trying to compose his wild running emotions… After giving around a minute to himself, feeling much calmed and focused, he stood up and placing the water bottle back, he took out the milk pot from there and was soon leaving towards Daya's room, holding a small tray having a glass of warmed milk and a small pale-red colored tablet placed in a small bowl…

Daya's Room…

Entering inside Daya's room, Abhijeet stopped after closing the room door, seeing Daya was standing near one of the walls of the room, keenly looking at it and around… Abhijeet instantly understood that the latter was examining the room, trying to make sure that there were no ropes or limbs restricted belts present there with which he used to find himself tied with, nearly every time after gaining back his consciousness in that darkness filled room…

Inhaling deeply while composing himself…

Abhijeet called him in balanced tone as: Daya…!

Resulted Daya, who was deeply involved in his task, had turned towards him with a loud jerk, looking scared with that sudden call, when seeing him there he relaxed a little, spreading hand on his face to compose himself when the same moment, noticing the tray in his hands he instantly hid his eyes, looking visibly nervous now…

And very well observing all that change in the younger one's body language…

Abhijeet told him in soft-care-filled tone as: Daya tumhien yahan drrny ki zarorat nahin hai bilkul… (Daya still without looking at him had nervously wiped off the tiny sweat drops from his forehead while the latter added as…) Iss kamry mein easa kuchh nahin hai js sy tum preshan ho ya drro… (Daya reluctantly turned his fearful gaze towards him like was looking for some kind of assurance while Abhijeet nodded firmly, looking deep in his eyes with…) Tum maira vishvas ker sakty ho Daya, easa kuchh nahin hai yahan, kuchh bhi nahin… (Daya just nodded averting his gaze and wiping off his sweaty palms with his shirt's front while Abhijeet told him softly as…) Baith jao Daya aur khud ko shant rakhny ki koshish kro, hmm…?

Again a silent nod and then leaving towards the room's corner, Daya slowly sat there cuddling himself still able to listen to his own heartbeat…

Where moving forward, Abhijeet too got seated at a little distance from him and softly clearing his throat to grab the younger one's divided attention…

Abhijeet carefully slid the tray towards him with: Dodh aur medicine…

Daya turning his gaze towards the tray, had looked towards the milk glass and then the small pale-red colored tablet which was looking dangerously dangerous to him, making him sweat profusely even without him knowing… Gulping down saliva in his dry throat, he inhaled a deep breath and exhaling it from his mouth, he slowly forwarded his hand towards the small bowl and right then a face having lust in her eyes flashed in front of his eyes, resulting him instantly pulling back his hand, like had hit with some kind of electric current and he stood up with a loud jerk, hitting his back with the wall behind, still looking bewilderedly at the small bowl…

Abhijeet, who was quietly observing him till then and was giving him his due time understanding well that it won't be easy for him to take the sedative knowingly, stood up too, seeing his face turning pale and gaze still fixed at one point and…

Abhijeet called him softly-though-worriedly as: Daya…! (No response hence he tried a little louder again as…) Daya…!

Resulted Daya's trance finally broke with a jerk and moving his gaze from the bowl, to the elder one's face, he again looked at the point he was looking earlier, pointing his trembling finger towards the small bowl though completely unable to speak anything…

When Abhijeet, who had very well seen the extreme horror and pain in that momentary gaze, got well what must had happened hence deciding to take the matter in his own hands now…

Abhijeet making his voice firm told the latter as: Daya wahan koe nahin hai… (Daya looked at him still holding fear in his injured gaze when looking deep in his eyes Abhijeet nodded firmly repeating himself as…) Koe nahin hai wahan, koe bhi nahin… (Daya consciously avoiding looking at him or at the bowl had started doing breathing exercise in speed, trying his best to calm down… While Abhijeet added telling him in composed tone as…) Baith jao Daya, relax… (But Daya shook his head still standing in that corner, inhaling and exhaling rapidly… Abhijeet making his voice strong, called him as…) Daya yahan daikho mairi ourh, Daya… (Daya gulping down a scared breath had finally looked towards him though was looking like he could faint at any moment now while Abhijeet trying his best to prevent that from happening, asked him as…) Tum ny thori dair pehly kaha tha na k tumhien mujh py vishvas hai, haan…? (Seeing Daya's gaze did not move from his face though he had not responded anything, Abhijeet repeated softly as…) Ab bhi hai na vishvas mujh py…? (Finally Daya slowly nodded, unknowingly getting calm too after the elder one had successfully involved him in talks with himself and Abhijeet had noticed that well hence he continued his efforts of engaging him with himself, adding as…) Tou vishvas rakho, mairy rehty koe qareeb nahin aa sakta tumhary, koe tumhien preshan nahin ker sakta, vishvas rakho please… (Seeing Daya was much calmed now and was looking away, now wiping off his face completely covered with sweat, Abhijeet asked him in same soft tone as…) Daya baith jao bchcha, iss kamry mein mairy elawa aur koe nahin hai, just relax please, baith jao…

Daya still avoiding looking at the tray, slowly got seated while hugging his knees near his chest, continuously doing his breathing exercise though the speed had decreased much…

When Abhijeet, who too was sitting now and after seeing his condition though thought for a moment to not give him the sedative today but another part of his brain told him, if not today then maybe never again, because even if he would postpone giving him sedative for tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, chances were the same thing would happen again, hence deciding to help Daya in conquering his fear by taking small steps each day…

Abhijeet asked him in balanced tone as: Daya, medicine ly lien ab…? (Daya instantly looked towards him though unable to say anything but the sudden increase in scare in his eyes replied clearly to the elder one who added in same balanced tone as…) Ager tum ny aaj apny iss drr ko jeetny dia Daya tou yeh hamesha tum sy jeettata rahy ga… (And then leaving him to decide for himself, Abhijeet stood up while concluding as…) Ab faisla tumhien kerna hai bchcha k aaj jeet ks ki hoti hai, tumhary iss khof k andhery ki ya uss umeed ki roshni ki jo hum ny mil k daikhi hai…

And he quietly left the room, allowing Daya to decide for himself… As Abhijeet could only show him the path and encourage him to walk on it but either to walk on that path or not, that decision only Daya could take…

Lounge…

Coming in the lounge, Abhijeet sat on the couch with a thud and then inhaling deeply while spreading hands on his face, he took out his mobile and opened the room's footage in it, having hope and fear both at the same time…

Daya's Room…

Where inside the room, Daya was still sitting in the same posture and the speed of his breathing exercise had increased now, he could not even look towards the tray present there…

Lounge…

Seeing him like that, Abhijeet had started having the fear now that his hallucination could get trigger because of his frightened state of mind but even if he remained in that room, he could do nothing to prevent it from happening… When getting alert, Abhijeet instantly sat straight seeing Daya rocking himself to and fro in speed now while mumbling something continuously and when Abhijeet tried to focus to listen what the latter was saying, he finally listened…

Daya telling to himself as: Yahan koe nahin hai… Koe nahin aa sakta yahan… Koe preshan nahin ker sakta… Woh nahin aa sakti, mujhy nahin chhu sakta koe… Maira drr hai, yeh maira drr hai… Koe nahin hai yahan… Yeh maira drr hai… Ab-Abhi, Abhi… (And he kept on taking that name, gradually decreasing his anxiety and stopping his restless body movement… Where outside his Abhi was looking at him holding pure love in his eyes while silently shedding salty drops now, because of feeling helplessness-filled-pain in his heart and soul seeing his brother like that and he caringly spread his fingers on the screen, placing a soft kiss there… Where inside the room, after getting much calm now, Daya told to himself as…) Ab-Abhi k aany sy pehly theek hona hai… Yeh sirf dawai hai… Chhchh-Chhoti si dawai, kuchh nahin hai… Main ny nahin drrna, dawai hai, sirf dawai…

And filling his lungs with air, he exhaled it from his mouth and after repeating it for two three times more, he finally still without looking towards the tray and with tightly closed eyes, had reached his hand near the tray and within a second he gulped down that small tablet with now turned cold glass of milk, resulted him started coughing badly because of gulping down milk in such hurry though he soon calmed down…

Where outside…

Abhijeet with moist eyes smiled beautifully in sooth while whispering to the younger one as: Bs Daya, yunhi aik aik ker k tujhy apny hr drr sy jeetna ho ga bchcha aur mujhy puri umeed hai k hum mil ker yeh ker lien gy… (Smiled moistly in hope with…) Ab manzil nazar aany lggi hai, bs thora intezar aur…

And he peacefully closed his eyes, inhaling a soothing breath and softly exhaling it from his mouth, he opened his eyes and looked at the screen to find the younger one still cuddled in the corner and was trying his best not to look around in the room… Placing the mobile aside, Abhijeet spreading hands on his face to wipe off the moisture from there, stood up and left towards Daya's room, easily understanding that he was scared…

Daya's Room…

Entering in the younger one's room, after closing the room door behind and while trying his best to make his presence unknown, he quietly moved forward and voicelessly grabbed the tray from there and leaving towards the small dressing area, he for the time being placed the tray there and returned in the room to find Daya was still sitting there with tightly closed eyes and his face turned towards the wall while the empty milk glass was still tightly clutched in his left hand…

Abhijeet after getting seated at a little distance from him and now making his presence known to his brother, called him softly as: Daya…! (Daya with a jerk opening his eyes had instantly turned towards him while pulling his left arm towards himself like was going to throw the glass on the latter when Abhijeet tried to relax the latter with…) Daya relax, main hoon, relax… (Daya gulping down the saliva had slowly pulled down his hand while wiping off his face with his free hand while Abhijeet added in same soft tone as…) Daya glass mujhy dy doo please… (Daya looked at him blankly like was unable to make sense out of his words hence Abhijeet repeated himself while signaling him towards the glass with…) Glass… (Forwarded his hand towards him with…) Lao doo, mujhy dy doo, shabash…

Daya finally being able to make some sense of what the latter was asking him to do, unintentionally through corner of his eyes had looked towards the place where the tray was placed and seeing it no more present there he unknowingly let out a sigh of relief sidewise gulping down a scared breath when…

Abhijeet cleared his throat to grab the latter's attention with: Daya, bchchy glass dy doo please, lao doo…

Daya inhaling deeply, nodded to him and slowly moving forward to Abhijeet's extreme surprise, he grabbed the glass in the latter's still forwarded hand instead of placing it near him like he always used to do… Abhijeet was not sure if that happened because of latter's absent-mindedness or he had started trusting him more and more with every passing day or there was some other reason behind Daya's that act, and if he would being honest, he was not interested of going in the details of that and just wanted to cherish that moment, that soothing feeling he was feeling at the moment that had brought a serene smile on his face…

When…

Daya's hesitant voice reached his eardrums with: Woh…

Abhijeet coming back in senses sidewise composing himself, asked him softly as: Kya hua Daya, kuchh kehna chah rahy ho kya…?

Daya nodded slightly without looking at him with: Tt-tum bahir-bahir kyun chaly gaye thy…? (Abhijeet looked at him with eyes filled with love and peace where Daya moving his gaze towards him, asked him hesitantly as…) Nn-naraz – Naraz ho gaye thy kya…? Ya ghussa…?

Abhijeet, somehow keeping himself composed and suppressing his urge of hugging the younger one, shook his head while replying him politely as: Nahin bchcha easa kuchh nahin tha… Mujhy lgga mairy bahir jany sy tumhien khud sy khud k liye faisla lainy mein aasani ho gi, bs iss liye thori dair k liye chala gaya bahir aur kuchh nahin…

Daya nodded slightly with: Oh – Achha, sahi, achha…

Seeing him completely confused, lost and not being himself at the moment…

Abhijeet suggested him softly as: Daya tum soony ki koshish kro please… (Daya looked at him who added as…) Tum ny medicine li hai na, tumhari tabiyt bigar jaye gi warna, soony ki koshish kro ab… (On the reference of the medicine noticing Daya again getting tensed, thinking something, Abhijeet asked him while measuring every next word in his mind as…) Daya ager tum chaho tou main yahan tumhary sath ruuk sakta hoon… (Daya instantly looked at him in fear hence Abhijeet instantly repeated himself as…) Ager tum chaho sirf tb warna main bahir chala jaon ga rooz k jaisy, Okay, relax… (Seeing Daya unable to say anything though had nestled a little more in the corner, Abhijeet understanding well what he wanted from the latter, told him softly as…) Achha Okay relax, main bahir ja raha hoon, tum soony ki koshish kro, hmm…?

And getting no response from the latter, who was avoiding looking at him now Abhijeet very smoothly stood up and soon left the room…

Lounge…

Coming in the lounge, Abhijeet placing the empty milk glass on the table, grabbed his mobile from the couch where the room's footage was already running and he started observing Daya, making sure he was not panicking…

Daya's Room…

Where Daya still sitting in the same posture while hugging his knees near his chest, leaned towards his side and slowly lay down still cuddling himself and he closed his eyes, trying to sleep…

Just few minutes had passed when suddenly Daya jerked badly in his sleep and instantly stood up while looking around in horror and outside the room, Abhijeet too stood up in real tension, seeing Daya like that when…

Daya getting panic now, started calling him loudly as: Suno, suno tum kahan ho, suno…

Abhijeet had already rushed towards his room while tugging his mobile in his trousers' pocket where inside the room Daya was continuously calling for him…

Opening the room door…

Abhijeet entered inside in hurry while closing the room door behind with: Daya relax, kya ho gaya hai, relax…

Daya still looking extremely terrified tried in broken words as: Aawaz–Aawaz… (While looking around in horror, tried again as…) Aawaz hai, main ny sunni hai, aawaz…

Abhijeet trying to calm him down, asked him as: Daya relax, shant ho jao tum, ks ki aawaz sunni hai tum ny, koun hai yahan…?

Daya looking at him, whispered to him in real scare as: Woh-woh psy–psycho pagal… (Looked around again in fear as…) Yahin hai, yahin hai kahin woh, main ny sunni hai uss ki aawaz, yahin hai kahin…

Abhijeet who had now got all, tried to relax him with: Daya relax, koe nahin hai yahan, tum ny bura sapna daikha hai… (Daya turned his frightened gaze towards him hence the latter repeated himself as…) Bura sapna daikha hai tum ny…

Daya cut him in anger-filled-scare as: Sapna nahin hai, woh hai yahin… (Looking around in horror looked back at him with…) Tumhien nahin ptta kuchh, samjhy tum…? Yahin hai woh…

Abhijeet trying to make him understand tried again as: Daya nahin hai yahan kahin woh baita, yahan chhupny ki jagah kahan hai, ager kahin koe hota tou dikh jata na ab tk…

Daya still adamant shook his head with: Tumhien nahin ptta kuchh, tumhien kuchh nahin ptta… (Gulping down a scared breath, he looked around while sidewise looking at the latter with…) Woh-woh easey hi kerti hai, uss ko mzza aata hai… Pagal hai woh, chhup jati hai kahin bhi aur phir achanak samny aa jati hai… Khkh-khail hai uss k liye, sb khail hai aur main-main koe khilona, js k sath jaisy mnn chahy woh khailti hai…

Abhijeet trying his best not to reflect the pain of his heart from his tone, told him politely as: Achha Okay, main tumhary samny kamra check kerta hoon, theek hai…?

Daya nodded hurriedly in fear as: Haan-haan daikho-daikho kahan hai woh, yahin hai kahin…

Abhijeet just to relax the younger one, left towards the bathroom and opening the door, looked inside and then back towards his brother who was standing in the corner now, looking extremely scared, literally holding his breath while…

Abhijeet slightly shook his head, telling him politely as: Koe nahin hai yahan bchcha, aa k daikh lo tum bhi…

Daya instantly shook his head with: Nn-nahin, mm-main ny nahin aana… (And then pointing his trembling finger towards the small dressing area, asked him as…) Wahan ho gi zaror, wahan daikho please…

Abhijeet nodding to him while closing the bathroom door, left towards the dressing area though did not go in that small alley because of knowing well that Daya was so scared at the moment that anyone emerging from there could terrify him for the worst hence standing in front of the dressing area…

Abhijeet turned towards the younger one with: Koe nahin hai Daya, yahan bhi koe nahin hai bchcha, koe nahin hai iss kamry mein… (Seeing Daya was now looking confused though still much scared, Abhijeet while trying to make him understand what must have happened, added as…) Daya tum soo gaye thy na bchcha tou neend mein drr gaye ho tum, kamry mein koe nahin hai, just relax… (Daya gulping down saliva while gradually calming down and now feeling drained too slowly sat on his knees, wiping off the sweat from his completely wet face, breathing heavily… When seeing his condition, Abhijeet told him in care-filled-worry as…) Daya tum baitho aaram sy please, main tumhary liye pani ly k aata hoon, just try to relax, Okay…?

But before he could turn towards the door…

Daya hurriedly stopped him, getting panicked again with: Nahin rukko, please rukko, main ny nahin peina pani, tum yahin rukko please, bahir nahin jao…

Abhijeet cut him while trying to calm him down with: Daya relax, nahin ja raha main bahir, relax… (While getting seated near the opposite wall, told him as…) Daikho baith gaya main yahin, kahin nahin ja raha main, just relax…

Daya wiping off his sweaty face while taking deep breaths, replied him as: Thth-thank you – thank you…

Abhijeet understanding well that it would be much difficult now to make the latter fall asleep but as Daya had already taken the sedative so it was important now to somehow convince him to sleep otherwise his health could get affected hence…

Abhijeet told him in composed tone as: Daya tum ab soony ki…

Daya instantly looked at him in fear while cutting him as: Nn-nahin, main ny nahin soona… (Shook his head firmly with…) Nahin…

Abhijeet inhaling deeply, tried again as: Daya tum soony sy pehly uss sb k barey mein soch k drr rahy thy na, tabhi tumhien sapny mein wohi sb dikha… (Trying to give him some hope, suggested him as…) Tum ab apny aur Abhijeet k barey mein socho… (Daya turned his gaze towards him who nodded as…) Hmm, tum dono ki achhi achhi yaadien… (While indirectly making him to think for any soothing memory of the two, asked him as…) Hain na koe achhi yaadien tum dono ki…?

Daya instantly nodded firmly with: Haan, bohut sari hain…

Abhijeet smiled softly with: Yeh tou bohut achhi baat hai, ab tum uss k barey mein soch k daikho, shaid iss sy tumhien ab ki baar sapny mein uss k barey mein kuchh yaad aa jaye, hmm…?

And he went silent seeing Daya was looking in deep thoughts now… Abhijeet knew well what he was telling the latter was may not be possible but for now, he was not interested in knowing what was possible and what was not, he just wanted to divert his younger one's mind towards somewhere peaceful, trying to give some hope to his scared heart and it seemed like, his idea was working as…

Daya inhaling deeply looked at him reluctantly with: Tum yahin raho gy na please…?

Abhijeet nodded softly with: Hmm, main yahin hoon, tum bs relax raho aur soony ki koshish kro ab, theek hai…?

Daya nodding at him moved back and cuddling his knees near his chest, he leaned towards the sidewall and slowly closed his eyes…

Abhijeet too leaned on the wall behind and closed his eyes as he intentionally did not suggest the latter to lie down to sleep, knowing well that it could only make Daya uncomfortable… Though a small smile silently crept on his face now appreciating the fact that even knowing that he would be asleep under sedative's effect the younger one had requested him to stay with him in the room and that was a huge accomplishment for him… As there was a time when Daya was terrified even from his voice and today that was the only voice that could make him feel secured and protected, and the journey from there to here was really long and hard but finally now, it was looking like their destination was nearing…

Abhijeet kept sitting there like that, hoping that the younger one would find any soothing memory of the two while on the other side, Daya was silently thinking of the day when…

DUO's Home…

Abhijeet's Room…

It was an off day for the two and maybe the only off day which was making the younger one frustrated because he could not go out to spend the day well as it was raining heavily outside and even at 12 of the noon, it was looking like 08 of the night… Finally Daya barged in Abhijeet's room who was calmly busy in reading his suspense novel and seeing him coming he gave him a calm look and had again turned his attention towards his novel when…

Daya protested as: Abhi humien itni mushkil sy chhuti mili hai aur tum novel ly k baith gaye ho…?

Abhijeet without moving his gaze from his novel, asked him as: Tou aur kya kron…?

Daya sitting on his bed with thud, demanded from him as: Aao kuchh khailien…

Abhijeet busily: Hun-hmm…

Daya protested loudly as: Abhiii…!

Abhijeet gave him a frustrated glance with: Daya kya masla hai, perhny dy mujhy novel, itni mushkil sy kabhi moqqa milta hai… (Giving him an idea, told him as…) Ja, ja k apni game khail tu…

Daya trying to be a philosopher replied as: Boss, I don't play games…

It took Abhijeet a moment to realize what the latter meant and he gave him a burning look while…

Daya hurriedly coming in line, added as: Achha na, main ny nahin khailni game, main bore ho gaya hoon uss sy…

Abhijeet instantly pinched him as: Aur main tairi iss bk bk sy bore hony lgga hoon ab…

Daya instantly looked at him in fake hurt with: Haww Abhi sach mein… (And looking up towards the ceiling, asked loudly as…) Bhagwan jee, mujhy nahin ptta, mujhy aik achha sa naya bhai doo please, jo mujh sy bohut pyar kerta ho aur mujh sy kabhi bore na hota ho…

Abhijeet shaking head disappointedly asked him as: Bhai mang raha hai k bhaji, jo kisi bhi supermarket sy mil jaye ga tujhy…

Daya gave him a furious look with: Tumhien kya masla hai main jo bhi mangon, aik tou aaj movie ka sara plan cancel ker dia…

Abhijeet cut him instantly in shock with: Aby main ny kia hai kya cancel, itni tezz barish ho rahi hai, ab yeh bhi maira dosh ho gaya kya, haan…?

Daya instantly argued as: Tou tum koe namak k bnny hoye ho jo barish mein beh jao gy ya hum ny paidal jana tha, faltu mein plan cancel ker dia sara, hunh…

Abhijeet patted his forehead with: Hye bhagwan iss sy bs fazool bkwas kerwa lo jitni marzi… (Looked at him asking angrily as…) Itni toofani barish mein bahir nikal jaty aur gari ager kisi khaddy mein chali jati tou bahir nikl k gari ko dhakka tu lgata kya, haan…? (Daya preferred to keep on grumbling now because of not having any valid reply but he was too stubborn to admit it while Abhijeet told him as…) Ja, bahir ja aur ja k TV dai…

Daya cut him furiously as: TV kahan sy daikhon, cable bhi nahin aa rahi…

Abhijeet in frustration while joining hands in front of him with loud voice, told him as: Tou mairy baap, net py YouTube py kuchh daikh ly, koe book perh ly, kuchh cook ker ly, kuchh bhi ker ly bs mairi jaan chhor dy, mujhy novel perhny dy maira, nikl mairy kamry sy ab, uth…

Daya stood up wearing fake sad expressions while complaining him as: Boss main yaad rakhon ga tum ny maira kitna dil dukhaya hai, paap lggy ga tumhien, paap…

Abhijeet glared him with: Nikl foren nahin tou tujhy file complete kerny bitha…

And before his sentence could get complete, Daya was long gone, hence jerking his head still grumbling, Abhijeet opened his novel again and soon get involved in reading it…

Around an hour had passed when smelling some strange aroma around, Abhijeet for a moment got confused but then striking something…

Abhijeet's eyes widened in horror as: Oh-no…

And placing the novel on his bed, he rushed towards the kitchen…

Kitchen…

And his whole life flashed in front of his eyes the moment he saw the master-chef of the home present inside the kitchen, looking deeply involved in preparing his signature dish…

Out of horror, only one word came out from the elder one's mouth as: Daya…!

Resulted the master-chef turned towards him and Abhijeet scanned him from head to toe and he could bet that the spices he must, well not so must seeing who was cooking but let's just assume he must had added in the dish, were no match to the spices present on his body at the moment resulted Abhijeet had just pressed his palm against his mouth while trying his best to suppress his laughter blast when giving him a burning look, the master-chef had again turned, getting busy in giving final touch-ups to his would-be world famous dish…

Abhijeet still struggling not to laugh, asked him as: Daya tu kitchen mein kya ker raha hai…?

Daya replied casually as: Cook…

Abhijeet couldn't help but pinched him as: Khud ko…? (And in return he received a burning glare from the latter hence trying to sound really concerned, asked him as…) Nahin maira matlab tha k tujhy kya shoq charha achanak cooking kerny ka…?

Daya shrugged casually as: Tum ny hi tou dia tha idea…

Abhijeet looking horrified, asked him as: Mairy sy yeh paap kaisy ho gaya…?

Daya replied him coldly as: Jb main tumhary room mein aaya tha, tb…

Abhijeet protested as: Aby tou main ny sach mein thori kitchen mein ghuss k itna kabara kerny ko kaha tha…

Daya gave him a warned look with: Boss…!

Abhijeet sighed with: Achha theek hai, dikha kya bnaya hai… (And while looking at the dish now served in the bowl, he asked him casually as…) Daya kya hai yeh…?

Daya replied proudly as: Boss yeh aik bohut unique dish hai…

Abhijeet asked him as: Aby tou koe naam bhi tou ho ga na tairi iss unique dish ka…?

Daya repeated himself as: Arry Boss, btaya na bohut hi unique dish hai…

Abhijeet gave him a stern look with: Naam kya hai iss ka bhai sahab…?

Daya shrugged casually as: Woh tou abhi rakhna hai…

Abhijeet asked confusingly as: Kya…?

Daya looked at him innocently as: Naam… Dish main ny bnna li hai, naam tum rakh lo…

Abhijeet looked at him for a moment finally getting him and moment later both brothers had burst out in loud laugh…

And Abhijeet slowly opened his eyes listening to small giggling voice and he looked towards his brother to find him chuckling in his deep sleep, bringing a love-filled smile on the elder one's face too, who was wondering which memory the younger one must be cherishing at the moment…
