DUO's Home…
Terrace…
Abhijeet turning his neck, looked over his shoulder to find Sunil standing there who had very well noticed his disturbed body language and hence had thought it better to bring him back in the present world…
When moving in front of him now…
Sunil greeted him in fresh tone as: Good morning friend… (And continued in same tone while grabbing a seat across the cane-table as…) Wasey tum sach mein ho kafi intelligent… (Abhijeet who was composed now had looked at him with raised eyebrow clearing sensing the flare of mischief in the latter's tone who completed while trying to sound innocent though was miserably failing there as…) Jaldi uth k early-riser bhi bn jaaty ho aur baad mein soo k neend bhi puri ker laity ho…
Abhijeet gave him a highly disappointed look with: Soo nahin raha tha, akela baitha bore ho raha tha iss liye yunhi aankhien bnd ker k baitha mosam enjoy ker raha tha ab…
Sunil couldn't help but pinched him as: A-haan tou tum yahan easey baithy mosam enjoy ker rahy thy…? (Abhijeet getting his meaning well had just averted his gaze getting silent when Sunil leaving the topic there, added as…) Aur wasey tum ny jaldi uth k chai bnna k akely akely pei bhi li…?
Abhijeet trying to get back to his usual self replied teasingly as: Kyun tumhien bed-tea chahiye thi kya aaj ta k wohi chai ka cup utha k mairy srr py ulta daity tum…?
Sunil nodded in relaxed way with: Very valid point…
Abhijeet glared him with: Kya…? Kya kaha tum ny, chai daal daity mairy srr py tum…?
Sunil winked at him naughtily with: Btaya na, intelligent ho tum… (Abhijeet just gave him a burning look getting his meaning well while Sunil continued as…) Wasey chai tou akely pei li tum ny, kmm-sy-kmm ab nashta hi bnna doo…
Abhijeet asked him burningly as: Ks khushi mein…? Kitchen ka raasta bhool gaya hai kya tumhien…?
Sunil instantly sitting straight replied in shocked-anger as: Myyy Goddd…
Abhijeet cut him right there with: Don't copy me, doctor…
Sunil looked at him heatedly with: Tum koe celebrity ho kya jissy main copy kron ga ya…
Abhijeet cut him in fake innocence with: Matlab tum celebrities ko copy kerty ho kya Sunil…?
Sunil stood up furiously while leaving towards the terrace door with: Khaddy mein jao tum, main khud bnna lun ga apny liye nashta…
Abhijeet replied in relaxed tone as: Mairy liye doo French-toast bhi bnnana…
Sunil turning towards him, asked him burningly as: Zehar na bnna dun tumhary liye main…?
Abhijeet shook his head in complete relaxed way as: Nahin, French-toast hi bnna daina, tumhary haththon sy bn k khud-ba-khud zehar ho jaye ga…
Sunil giving a little hard punch on the latter's upper-arm, declared loudly as: Bdtameez, itna hi zeharila lagta hai maira bnaya hua khana tou banwa kyun rahy ho mujh sy…?
Abhijeet still rubbing his upper-arm replied in teasingly sweet tone as: Aaj maira nashty mein zehar khany ka dil chah raha hai…
Sunil looking like standing on a burning stove, pointed finger towards him with: Abhijeet main sach mein tumhara glla dbba dun ga ab…
Abhijeet warned him in fake worried tone as: Pagal ho kya, finger-prints aa jaien gy tumhary aur seedha phansi py lattak…
Sunil looking at him furiously cut him with: Mairi zada chinta kerny ki zarorat nahin hai tumhien… (Nodded at him challengingly with…) Zehar khany ka mnn ho raha hai na brra tumhara, main kerta hoon tumhara yeh shoq pura… (Told him angrily as…) Namak waly jlly hoye French-toast bnata hoon tumhary liye, khana phir tum aaj nashty mein woh kerway-zehrily toast, hunh…
Abhijeet replied him in straight tone as: Dr. Sunil, bandy ny zeharila nashty kerny ki khawahish ki hai, Daya k haththon k baney nashty ki nahin…
Sunil stopping there abruptly looked at the latter and soon both friends burst out in sweet laughs and…
Sunil still smiling, told him as: That was a good one, you got me there…
Abhijeet while standing replied as: Because you were right… (Sunil looked at him in question so he completed while winking at him sweetly as…) I am intelligent…
Sunil chuckled lightly and soon both friends left towards the kitchen where on his way Abhijeet had placed the newspaper in its destined cupboard, in the bookshelf…
Kitchen…
Coming in the kitchen, after washing the teacup Abhijeet got busy in preparing porridge for Daya seeing him already returned in the room after taking shower and now was busy in his usual morning exercises and Sunil remained busy in preparing breakfast for the two of them and both friends remained busy in the kitchen sidewise enjoying light casual talks and leg-pulling of each other…
Lounge…
Soon they returned in the lounge with their breakfast and grabbing seats on the couch…
Sunil while switching on the TV asked the latter little teasingly as: Wasey aaj breakfast mein mujhy company dainy ki koe khas wajah…?
Abhijeet shrugged casually as: Yunhi, mujhy French-toast garam garam achhy lagty hain aur Daya k breakfast mein abhi time hai…
Sunil nodded slightly with: Agreed, thandy ho k ajeeb soggy ho jaty hain yeh… Achha khair, woh jo tumhari team mein naye member ny aana tha, aa gaya woh…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Hmm, Sachin naam hai uss ka…
Sunil nodded with: Sahi, kaisa hai…?
Abhijeet smiled silently with: Achha hai, zada interaction nahin hua uss ka mairy sath lekin jitna hua hai woh achha raha hai…
Sunil smiled lightly with: Good, that's really good… Aur baqi team ka experience kaisa raha Sachin k sath…?
Abhijeet inhaled deeply with: Freddy thora time ly raha hai lekin theek ho jaye ga woh bhi…
Sunil glanced over Abhijeet with: Freddy's response is understandable Abhijeet, woh tou Daya k resignation k bhi khilaf tha aur shaid ab tk hai, aur uss ny iss baat ko chhupany ki bhi koe koshish nahin ki…
Abhijeet nodded him in silent smile with: I know, tabhi koe ussy force nahin ker raha, aur phir woh rude nahin ho raha, bs reserved hai filhal bohut Sachin k sath…
Sunil just gave a supportive pat on the latter's shoulder, receiving an assuring smile in return and soon both were completely involved in enjoying and commenting on the animal documentary running on the TV while sidewise having their breakfast…
After finishing their breakfast, Sunil left towards the guestroom to get ready for his hospital and Abhijeet left towards the kitchen with the utensils…
Soon after getting ready for the hospital, Sunil returned in the lounge to find Abhijeet sitting in the lounge and enjoying a political talk-show and shaking head disappointedly though deciding to leave the latter alone with his show…
Sunil while making his bag asked the latter casually as: Tum ny aaj Bureau jana hai kya…?
Abhijeet glanced over the latter confusingly as: Haan, kyun…?
Sunil shrugged casually as: Yunhi, bhai kya ker raha hai tumhara wasey…?
Abhijeet glancing over the mobile screen replied in light smile as: Meditate… Issi k free hony ka wait ker raha hoon, phir nashta ker k aik baar yeh soo jaye tou main bhi niklun Bureau k liye, mujhy raasty mein apny aik informer sy bhi milna hai…
Sunil getting freed from his work completely turned towards the latter with: Yar Abhijeet, main yunhi soch raha tha k humien Daya ko koe notebook, writing-pad ya sketch-book waghaira aur aik pen ya pencil dy daini chahiye, iss…
Abhijeet who was already standing now after switching off the TV, cut him in worried tone as: Lekin kyun…? Tumhien ptta nahin hai kya k pencil sy khoon ho sakta hai…? Humien training mili hue hai kisi bhi cheez ko hathiyar ki tarhan istemal kerny ki, woh khud ko nuqsan pohancha sakta hai easi kisi cheez sy…
Sunil tried to relax the latter while replying in calm tone as: Abhijeet relax yar, stop over-thinking please, tum ptta nahin kya kya sochty rehty ho baithy… (Tried to assure him with…) Nahin kerta woh easa kuchh bhi, ab woh na hi pehly jaisa violent hai aur na hi ab uss ki mental condition utni unstable hai, calm hai bohut Daya pehly sy… Aur phir jitni dair woh jaag raha hota hai, humari nazar rehti hai na uss py hr samey, tou phir…? (Seeing Abhijeet still looking unconvinced, he added in soft tone as…) Abhijeet ager Daya apni sochon ko kaghaz py uttarny lggy ga tou iss sy humien aur ussy, dono ko hi ussy samajhny mein mddad mily gi… (Told him in soft smile as…) Aur main tumhien sirf easa suggest ker raha hoon, aik khayal aaya mairy dimagh mein tou socha tum sy share ker lun, faisla tum hi ny laina hai, aaram sy soch lo tum, koe jaldi nahin hai… (And grabbing his bag, he concluded the conversation with…) Aur ab main nikalta hoon, tum bhi apna show enjoy kro, khayal rakhna apna, see you…
Abhijeet trying to sound composed left with him towards the main door with: Main bhi aa raha hoon tumhary sath drwazy tk…
Sunil pinched him with: Aur woh kyun, mujhy main door ka raasta yaad hai…
Abhijeet replied in straight tone as: Main door lock kerny ta k tum wapis na aa jao…
Sunil laughed lightly with: Chabi hai mairy paas main door ki…
And as they already had reached on the main door so…
Abhijeet said in light smile as: Have a safe ride…
Sunil nodded him in soft smile and bidding him bye he left towards his hospital and closing and locking the main door, Abhijeet left towards the kitchen to serve the younger one his breakfast as his try to divert his mind from thinking anything else at the moment…
Daya's Room…
Soon grabbing the tray with himself, Abhijeet entered in the younger one's room to find him now sitting at his usual sitting place while randomly flipping magazine's pages where feeling someone coming, Daya too had turned his gaze towards the now closed door and seeing him there he flashed him a small smile, receiving a warm smile in return and…
Abhijeet moving forward greeted the latter in fresh tone as: Good morning Daya, hath kaisa hai ab tumhara…?
Daya nodded him slightly with: Good morning… Hath theek hai maira ab…
Abhijeet nodded him softly and knowing Daya would not be able to balance the tray with one hand, grabbing his own juice glass from the tray…
Abhijeet while sitting near the younger one had placed the tray near the latter with: Tumhara breakfast…
Daya nodding him slightly pulled the tray towards him with: Thank you… (Abhijeet gave him a soft smile when noticing the breakfast for one person was served in the tray Daya looked towards the latter little reluctantly with…) Woh tum… Tumhara breakfast…?
A beautiful smile appeared on the elder one's face with that two-word query which was the heaps of sooth and happiness for him and…
Abhijeet told him in polite smile as: Main aaj jaldi uth gaya tha tou nashta pehly ker lia main ny… (Daya nodded like "Oh" when showing him his juice glass, Abhijeet completed as…) Tumhary sath juice pion ga main…
Daya looked at him for few moments in silence and then nodded him in silent smile while turning towards his breakfast and Abhijeet smiled sadly in silence knowing the reason of that sudden silence of the latter, as it was Abhijeet's habit to give company to the younger one on the meal like that, if he ever took his meal earlier and today this known-stranger's act must had reminded him his Abhi…
When trying to change the latter's silent mood…
Abhijeet asked him in fresh tone as: Wasey Daya mujhy tou lgga tha k hum ab dost bn gaye hain…? (Daya looked at him in silence so the latter nodded while elaborating as…) Achha chalo, pakky waly na sahi, kachchy-pakky hi sahi, thori bohut dosti tou ho gae hai na humari…? (And seeing the latter again turning his attention towards his breakfast, Abhijeet hiding his disappointed smile as he could very well read his brother's silence but he really wanted to listen from him hence completed in fake sad tone as…) Theek hai bhae, kal mujhy kamry sy nikaal dia tha aur aaj doston ki list sy, sahi hai…
Daya looking towards him, asked him in a little irritated tone as: Main ny kb kaha hai easa kuchh tumhien…?
Abhijeet hiding his sweet smile, asked him in fake innocence as: Tou matlab hum dost hain phir…?
Daya avoiding looking at him and concentrating back on his breakfast, nodded slightly with: Thory thory…
Abhijeet looked at his brother with pure love and really wanted to stretch his cheek at the moment because of Daya looking like an innocent kid to him who got so easily tricked by the elder one and he did not even realize it when composing himself…
Abhijeet, who was curious since yesterday but was waiting for the right time, asked him in light-friendly tone as: Tou phir tum apny iss thory thory dost sy share nahin kro gy kya tumhari aur Abhijeet ki woh memory js ko sochty hoye kal tum sakoon sy soo gaye, hmm…? (Daya looked at him in silence-filled-reluctance while Abhijeet completed softly as…) Please, kisi sy nahin kahon ga main, promise…
Daya inhaling quietly turned his gaze away where Abhijeet kept sitting there in silence not sure if he was successful in convincing the latter or not as to that "Suno", Daya had appeared quite possessive about his brother, be it his name or memories, hence there were fifty-fifty chances now of Daya sharing the memory with him or not… And Abhijeet was now sitting there with fingers-crossed as being the part of each such memory he too knew all but he really wanted to hear Daya's version of such memories when…
Daya's slow-toned voice softly rose in the room as: Ab-Abhi duniya mein bs sirf aik cheez sy drrta hai bohut zada… (Abhijeet looked at him in silence as the only thing that scared him more than anything was losing his brother but the small smile playing on Daya's face was confusing him who added dreamily with his gaze fixed at some unseen point as…) Mairi cooking sy… (Abhijeet who was expecting something serious couldn't help and a light chuckle escaped his mouth breaking Daya's trance who looked towards him and nodded to him while repeating himself as…) Nahin sach, woh sach mein mairi cooking sy bohut drrta hai… (Abhijeet looked at his brother lovingly who had already turned his gaze away while adding in slow-shy tone as…) Mujhy cooking nahin aati na bilkul, tou iss liye… (Glanced over him while telling him as…) Tou aik rooz humara bahir lunch kerny ka program tha lekin barish ho rahi thi bohut zada tou hum nahin ja skky aur woh baith gaya phir sy apni koe book ly k, main ny bola bhi koe game khailty hain tou mujhy kamry sy hi bahir nikal dia dantt k, kharos ny… (Abhijeet getting completely silent at his place looked at him with so many mixed emotions as he had heard Daya calling him like that after so very long where Daya was looking like present in that dreamy world now, far from every pain, hurt and scare, continued in his own trance as…) Kehta hai file work kerny bitha dy ga mujhy… (Jerked his head while grumbling as…) Kerta hoon main file work, hunh… (Added in proud tone still looking somewhere far away as…) Main ny bhi phir bddla lainy ka socha Boss sy… (A salty drop slipped from the elder one's eye in complete silence, who was looking at the smiley face of his brother with so much love and pain, who was completely looking like old Daya, like his real brother but he knew that, that sooth and smile were temporary, the moment the trance of that beautiful happy past would break, his brother's façade of happiness would also break and he would again go in his deep dark world of silence and agony but unknowingly an injured smile appeared on his face too, listening to his brother's giggle who was going on and on with the details and soon chuckled sweetly again with…) Phir woh Mexican vegetable soup jo mairi expertise sy ptta nahin kya bn gaya tha, Abhi ny theek ker dia uss mein chawal daal k… (And suddenly turned his excited-twinkling gaze towards the latter with…) Ptta hai kitna mzzy ka lunch bn gaya tha aur…
And finally he stopped with the present time slowly started coming back to him and still looking in some sort of disbelief he looked around in the room to know where he was, then towards that person sitting there in complete silence, the tray having his medicines and glass of milk placed there waiting for him to have them and he looked towards that person whose heart was breaking in so many pieces seeing cracks in his younger one's eyes and how desperately he wanted to embrace him in a tight comforting hug, to tell him that everything would be fine soon, to tell him that his Kharos Boss was right there with him but not a single word came out from his mouth while a drop having the depths of pain and anguish came out from the younger one's eye who just turned his face away while roughly rusting off that drop and Abhijeet had already turned his face away to hide his moist eyes…
When fighting back his tears, Daya turning towards the tray grabbed the small bowl and soon gulped down those medicines with the glass of milk and…
Daya without looking towards the elder one slid the tray towards the latter with: Mujhy soona hai please, neend aa rahi hai mujhy…
Abhijeet knowing his own moisture-filled-voice would betray him if he tried to speak a word, quietly grabbed the tray and left the room the same second…
Lounge…
But as soon as Abhijeet came out from the younger one's room, feeling his whole strength completely drained out and he slowly sat there on the floor with his back and head attached with the younger one's room door and tears of hurt and wait started raining down from his eyes in silence while he could clearly listen to his brother's sobbing voices from inside…
Both brothers were sitting at two sides of the same place, crying to be with each other, knowing their hearts were longing for each other and they could get consoled only by each other but still it looked like there was a deep dark tunnel of misery and ache present between them, which no one of the two knew how to cross and when would the light of happiness would lit in their lives again, though one could only hope…
Feeling emotionally exhausted and mentally drained, Abhijeet wiping off the moisture from his face rested his forehead on his knees while wrapping his arms around his legs and slowly closed his eyes… And the pain of his aching heart slowly took him to the time when…
CITY Hospital…
Lobby…
Outside Daya's room, Abhijeet and Tasha were sitting on the bench now in silence, trying to recollect themselves, not knowing what to-do next when feeling someone coming towards them, Abhijeet lifted his gaze up to find Freddy coming there with Sunil… The two had already increased their speed towards them seeing their red swollen faces and reaching near them, glancing over still sobbing Tasha…
Freddy pressed Abhijeet's shoulder with: Sir…?
Knowing the meaning of that call quite well…
Abhijeet still fixing his gaze on the floor, replied in injured tone as: Shastri ny sirf apna chehra nahin bithaya uss k dimagh mein… (Two fresh drops slipped down in Tasha's lap while Freddy and Sunil went silent understanding well what Abhijeet was telling them when Abhijeet while standing turned towards Sunil with…) Tum ny kaha tha Daya shaam sy pehly nahin uthy ga, woh abhi sy uth gaya hai…
Sunil trying to remain collected nodded slightly with: Abhijeet pehly bhi uss py sedatives ka zada asar nahin rehta tha, uss k dimagh mein jitna khof baith chukka hai woh ussy zada dair tk soony nahin daita… (Abhijeet looked at him in real hurt when giving a supportive pat on his shoulder in silence, he asked him quietly as…) Hua kya tha Abhijeet, tum itny vishvas sy kaisy keh rahy ho k Daya k dimagh mein Amavasya ka chehra bhi hai…?
Abhijeet replied in somewhat helpless tone as: Ptta nahin, Freddy gaari tk gaya tha aur main bathroom… Daya k sath Tasha thi kamry mein jb woh utha aur…
And Abhijeet stopped there looking hurtfully at sobbing Tasha when giving him an understanding-encouraging nod…
Sunil turned towards Tasha and tried in composed tone as: Tasha I know aap iss samey takleef mein hain bohut lekin please, mairy liye jan'nana zarori hai k hua kya tha…?
Tasha wiping off the moisture from her face, trying to make her voice audible, tried as: Daya sir, sir neend mein drr rahy thy, disturb ho rahy thy tou main ny woh, jaisy Abhijeet sir ko kerty daikha unhien, wasey unn k srr sehla rahi thi, unhien relax hony ka keh rahi thi tabhi sir aik dmm sy uth gaye aur woh…
And her voice chocked when…
Abhijeet said in composed tone as: Freddy, tum Tasha ko ly k jao ab, ager koe kaam hua tou main call ker lun ga…
Freddy nodded and soon the two left from there and…
Abhijeet turned towards Sunil with: Sunil…?
Sunil told him in composed tone as: Abhijeet, Daya ko jaisy humari aawaz mein Shastri sunai dy raha hai, Tasha ki aawaz mein ussy Amavasya sunai dy rahi thi… (Abhijeet just sighed internally while Sunil continued in same silent tone as…) Tasha jb ussy console kerny ki koshish ker rahi thi tou unknowingly woh ussy aur zada drra rahi thi aur issi liye Daya calm hony ki jagah aur zada disturb ho gaya aur eventually jaag gaya… (Taking a momentary pause, he looked at the latter in silence with…) Shastri ko Daya challenge kerta hai, uss sy sawal-jawab kerta hai, yahan tk k ussy maarny ki koshish tk kerta hai lekin Amavasya k sath woh easa kuchh nahin ker paa raha kyun k Daya uss sy drrta hai, woh puri tarhan sy khofzada hai uss sy bilkul jaisy…
And seeing Sunil unable to complete…
Abhijeet completed in bleeding-whispered tone as: Jaisy aik rape victim apny rapist sy hota hai, khas-kr tb jb ussy aik lamby samey tk lggatar rape kia jata raha ho… (Sunil looking at him in extreme pain and knowing his no words could pacify him, just pressed his shoulder in silence, assuring him about his presence with him when Abhijeet dusting off the drop of woe from his face, looked towards the latter with…) Uss ka koe treatment socho Sunil, please lekin…
Sunil cut him while assuring him as: Abhijeet relax, mairi baat ho gae hai ACP sir sy, aur main abhi hospital bhi iss liye aaya tha ta k main Dr. Tervadi sy mil k Daya ki initial reports ly sakon aur hum uss k liye koe safe treatment define ker skien… (Abhijeet nodded slightly while Sunil concluded as…) Tum bhi Daya k paas hi rukna ab, iss samey jb woh jaag raha ho uss per kisi na kisi ki nazar rehna bohut zarori hai…
Abhijeet nodded silently with: Hmm main daikhta hoon ussy aur apny sath uljhany ki koshish kerta hoon, warna chhup ker nazar rakhni prry gi uss per… Wasey main ny room sy already sari easi cheezien htta k cupboard mein bnd ker di hain jn sy woh khud ko koe nuqsan pohancha sakta ho…
Sunil nodded in soft smile with: Yeh tum ny bohut achha kia… (And completed as…) Main bhi aik baar Daya ko daikh lun, phir Dr. Tervadi sy milta hoon…
Abhijeet nodded in silent smile and the two left towards Daya's room in silence…
Daya's Room…
Abhijeet was ahead and coming inside the room he looked towards the spot where he had left Daya to find the spot empty hence he hurriedly looked around in the room to find it empty and…
Abhijeet hurriedly leaving towards the room's window still looking around whispering to himself in panic as: Daya kahan gaya, bahir hi baitha tha main, bahir nahin aaya woh room sy aur yeh khirki py tou grill hai, phir kahan…
And stopping there he turned around listening to…
Sunil's worried call as: Abhijeet…! (And seeing Abhijeet already leaving towards him, Sunil signaled him towards the spot on the floor with…) Khoon…
Abhijeet followed the latter's signal to see few blood drops were present on the floor with a bandage lying there, the blood was not much but still was enough to scare his already racing heart and…
Abhijeet moving his gaze up, looked in front of him with: Bathroom… (Glanced over Sunil, telling in sure tone as…) Bathroom mein hai woh… (And he left towards the bathroom door with fast steps and was going to bang on the door but stopped right there and thinking for a moment, said in composed tone as…) Daya tum ander ho na…? Daya…? Daya jawab doo nahin tou main ander aa raha hoon, Daya…? (Receiving only silence in reply, Abhijeet exchanging a scared glance with Sunil, slightly pushed the door to find it opening but still not opening, understanding the reason soon enough, Abhijeet turned towards Sunil telling him in pain-filled-whispered tone as…) Drwazy k sath lg k baitha hua hai woh ta k koe drwaza na khol skky…
Sunil looked at the door hurtfully when the same moment his eyes caught something and pointing finger towards the spot, he whispered in pain as: Abhijeet, aur khoon…
Abhijeet, whose mind was too busy to find some way to make the latter open the door, got shocked-and-scared seeing the blood present on the floor of the bathroom too which was visible from that small opening and fearing that Daya had somehow found something to hurt himself…
Abhijeet deciding something in his mind made his voice firm while uttering as: Daya tumhary paas aik minute hai, ager tum drwazy k samny sy na htty tou "Hum" yeh drwaza tou khol hi lien gy, sath mein main Amavasya ko bhi bula lun ga…
Sunil looked at him in extreme pain knowing how much his heart would be breaking at the moment saying all that to his little brother but he also knew that Abhijeet did not want to forcefully open the door, even though he could but it could physically hurt Daya who was sitting right next to the door… And seeing that blood on the floor it was clear to the two now that Daya had hurt himself in some way hence Abhijeet had decided to play as Shastri to somehow make him open the door, knowing really well that they could not convince Daya otherwise, who was the biggest threat for himself at the moment, Abhijeet decided to use the smaller threat in comparison…
And signaling Sunil to prepare an injection of sedative because of clearly analyzing the situation and sensing the chances that they would be needing it to control Daya, Abhijeet remained standing there and within a minute got joined by Sunil again who forwarded the syringe towards him and turning towards Daya again…
Abhijeet keeping his voice firm, uttered as: Daya main sirf teen tk ginon ga ab… Aik, Doo…
And feeling a little movement from the other side, Abhijeet slightly pushed the door again to find it opening now, hence he hurriedly completely opened the door and entered inside to find the scene that had really made him skip a beat as Daya was standing right in front of him near the opposite wall while tightly clutching the piece of broken bathroom mirror in his hand and there were few fresh cut marks present on his face and arms, while his feet were bleeding too and the shirt near his shoulder wound had turned completely red…
Seeing Abhijeet standing there frozen like that…
Sunil who too was equally shocked but was somewhere prepared for it, pressed Abhijeet's shoulder sidewise turning towards Daya with: Daya yeh kya kia hai tum ny, dimagh bilkul hi kharab ho gaya hai kya tumhara…?
Daya showed him the piece of mirror with: Shsh-shareer-shareer kharab ker dia hai main ny maira… (Shook his head while smirking as…) Dimagh-dimagh kharab nahin hai maira… (Anger-and-hate started coming in his voice while adding in heated tone as…) Woh-woh janwar aai thi phph-phir sy mujhy nochny-nochny aai thi phir sy mujhy woh… (And he chuckled in winning way as…) Kharab ker dia, shar-shareer hi kharab ker dia sb main ny, issi ki bhook hai na ussy, issi k peichhy aati hai woh, kharab ker dia main ny… (And he laughed aloud as…) Kharab ker dia…
And suddenly he made another rash cut on his arm, bringing a loud scream of his name from Abhijeet's mouth and before anyone of the two could understand anything, Abhijeet was standing right in front of Daya and gave a hard slap on his face while rashly throwing away the mirror piece from his hand, resulted Daya misbalanced with that jerk and was about to fall but Abhijeet securing him tightly in his embrace, precisely pushed the syringe needle in his neck, injecting him with sedative…
Soon Daya fell unconscious with his head still rested on his brother's shoulder who was securely holding him in his both arms, now sitting on his knees and he looked at the red fluid on his hand in extreme pain not even realizing that it was not all his brother's, as while pulling out the mirror piece from Daya's grip, Abhijeet's own palm got slightly cut but the pain of his heart was so intense that it over-powered the pain of his hand…
Sunil wiping off the moisture from his own face, tried as: Abhijeet, Daya ko…
And he stopped there receiving a nod in return and soon the two had shifted unconscious Daya on his bed and Sunil after completing the dressing of Daya's all wounds, turned towards the elder one and smoothly stretched Abhijeet's hand in front of himself, breaking his thought-process and…
Abhijeet moving his gaze from Daya'a face and confusingly glancing over Sunil's face looked at his hand with: Yeh maira nahin…
And he stopped right there uttering a low-toned groan with Sunil placing the spirit swab on his cut, finally making him realize about that cut on his palm and without saying anything further Abhijeet turned his gaze away again while Sunil too remained busy in dressing his wound in silence…
When getting freed from the dressing, Sunil left towards the bathroom and soon returned after washing his hands and quietly sat beside that hurting soul who was silently weaving in his younger one's head now…
Thinking to give him some time alone…
Sunil said in composed tone as: Main Dr. Tervadi sy mil k aata hoon…
But before he could stand…
Abhijeet said in silent tone as: Tum sahi thy Sunil… (Sunil went quiet knowing in that situation towards where Abhijeet must be referring while Abhijeet continued in same silent tone as…) Ager main ny tumhari baat maan li hoti tou ab yeh sb nahin hua hota… (Sunil looked at him in pain while Abhijeet turning towards him, told him in assuring tone as…) Tum ly aao woh straps ya ropes jo bhi lana hai aur iss ko bandh doo… (Looked towards his brother in extreme pain with…) Easey bhi tou mrr hi jaye ga na yeh, aik bhi cut ager iss ki wrist ya Jugular vein py lg jata tou… (And turning towards Sunil again, nodded to him earnestly with…) Iss ko bandh doo Sunil, tight, tight bandh doo k khul na skky bilkul… (Turning towards his brother again, looked at his arms with…) Lekin bandho gy kahan iss ny tou apny dono bazu zakhmi ker liye hain… (Turning towards Sunil, showed him his palm with…) Yahan, yahan hath sy bandh daina, ya idher oper upper-arm…
Sunil feeling unable to take that anymore, grabbing Abhijeet from his upper-arm, jerked him with: Abhijeet hosh mein aao, kya ho gaya hai tumhien, hosh mein aao tum…?
Abhijeet tried again as: Iss ko bandh…
Sunil cut him again while looking deep in his eyes with: Koe nahin bandh raha tumhary Daya ko… Tum sambhalo khud ko please, tum iss tarhan sy toot jao gy tou uss ko koun sambhaly ga haan, koun sambhaly ga Daya ko phir…?
And seeing moisture started forming in the latter's eyes, Sunil without saying a word had just pulled him in a tight embrace and Abhijeet burst out loudly in tears while hugging him real tightly and…
Abhijeet uttered between sobs as: Mujhy ptta tha k iss jung ki koe qeemat tou chukani ho gi humien lekin ager yeh ptta hota k iss ki qeemat maira Daya hi ho ga tou main kabhi yeh jung shuru kerny ki zid na kerta, kabhi nahin…
Sunil replied in consoling tone as: Easa kuchh nahin ho ga Abhijeet, hum ny jitni qeemat chukani thi chukka di sb, ab qeemat chukany ki baari Shastri ki hai, samjhy…? (And receiving only silent sobs in return he caringly separated the latter from the hug and cupping his face, looked in his eyes with…) Tum iss tarhan sy toot nahin sakty Abhijeet, roo lo, chilla lo, bhagwan sy lrro, lekin annt mein utni hi mazboti sy wapis khary milo mujhy tum jitny iss jung ki shuruvat mein thy, samjhy…?
Abhijeet nodded while dropping few fresh drops in silence-filled-despair and Sunil smoothly hid him in an encouraging embrace, knowing all he wanted at the moment was an assurance that all their sufferings were worth it in the end and Sunil with his silent support was always there to give him that assurance…
And finally Abhijeet's ringing mobile slowly pulled him back in the present, stopping him from reliving those past pain and hurts any longer…
