Friends here is the next chapter, have a happy reading, love you all and take care please… :))
DUO's Home…
Around eight at night, Abhijeet returned home and seeing Daya was still asleep, he directly left towards his own room while on his way, aimlessly throwing his coat on the couch in the lounge…
Abhijeet's Room…
Soon Abhijeet returned in the room after taking a much desired warm shower and leaving towards his dressing-table, he grabbed his mobile from there and opened Daya's room's feed on it to find Daya was missing from the room now…
Nodding to himself in a relaxed way, Abhijeet grabbing his mobile with Daya's room feed still running on it, sat in front of the desktop which was the main server in which Daya's room's recordings got saved directly and opened the recording of today's noon because of feeling the childish urge since noon, of seeing his younger one getting snubbed by their father and now finally getting the time, wearing his headphones, Abhijeet played the recording, looking little excited too…
And after seeing and hearing all those talks that at times had brought smile on his face and other times brought deep seriousness there, Abhijeet, seeing ACP sir was now leaving the room for the Bureau, had closed the recording and leaving the chair himself, he left towards his bed and lie down there in half-lying posture… Using his arm as a pillow behind his head, Abhijeet grabbing his mobile, glanced over the mobile screen to find Daya had returned in the room now and was sitting on his usual sitting place in the corner of the room while silently cuddling himself and burying his face in his knees…
Hoping that giving him some alone time would help him to rethink his decision of giving up every hope, Abhijeet placing the mobile aside, silently closed his eyes and minutes' later, a very faint silent smile stealthily crept on his face while still being able to hear that love-filled-anger of their father towards his brother… And those bitter-sweet feelings he was feeling at the moment slowly took him to the time where he was both happy-and-sad at the same time, the time where…
DUO's Home…
Lounge…
It was around seven of the late Sunday evening and nearly ten-to-fifteen minutes ago ACP sir and Freddy had left DUO's home towards their own, when seeing Freddy was still struggling to compose himself, ACP sir, ignoring his all protests, had decided to drive the car himself instead of Freddy and had also called his driver telling him to be at Freddy's place…
And after seeing them off Abhijeet could now be seen lying there on the couch with his arm arched on his eyes… With so many thoughts and things running in his mind at the moment, he couldn't notice Daya's room door opened and hence kept lying there with closed eyes…
When slowly moving from the lounge towards the kitchen, Daya soon noticed Abhijeet lying there like that and stopping in his track, for few seconds he kept standing there looking at his brother in silence and then he quietly left towards his room again… Returning in the lounge the same minute, Daya moving around the couch, unfolded the sheet he was grabbing in his hands now and caringly spread that on his elder one which stirred Abhijeet's thought process and still confused, Abhijeet slowly removed the arm from his eyes to find the sheet on himself and he lifted his confused gaze up to find Daya already turned to leave the scene when…
Abhijeet called him in confusion-filled-soft voice as: Daya…! (Daya stopping in his track had turned towards him when Abhijeet while getting up and sitting now, asked him as…) Kb uthy tum…?
Daya shrugged quietly with: Ptta nahin, bahir abhi aaya hoon… (Abhijeet went silent listening to that reply where Daya now sitting beside him, added as…) Sorry tumhien jgga dia, woh main…
Abhijeet cut him softly with: Main soo nahin raha tha Daya, yunhi laita hua tha aankhien bnd ker k… (And even though he knew that Daya already knew that and that's why he came out from his room now, still Abhijeet completed in the same flow while confirming it indirectly as…) Sir log bhi chaly gaye sb tou bore ho raha tha main ab akela iss liye lait gaya yunhi…
Daya nodded quietly still fidgeting with his fingers, looking like struggling to voice his thoughts where Abhijeet was giving him due time understanding his fears and mental condition quite well when…
Daya finally tried to ask in slow tone as: Freddy woh, matlab…
And he stopped there, leaving the sentence incomplete where getting what he was afraid to ask…
Abhijeet replied him in composed-yet-firm tone as: Keh k gaya hai k uss k Daya sir ko btta dun k jb hum uss chhoti si zindagi ko ghar ly aaien gy tou woh uss k liye jitny chahy khilony aur cheezien ly aaye, kisi ko ussy kuchh bhi kehny ka koe haq nahin ho ga…
Daya chuckled quietly while roughly dusting off the drop from his cheek, receiving a silent-assuring grip on his shoulder when nodding to his brother…
Daya looking towards him, asked him silently as: Salunkhy sir, Vivek, Tasha…?
Abhijeet nodded to him assuredly as: Sir unhien aaj ghar bulaien gy apny… (Taking a momentary pause, added as…) Freddy aur humien bhi…
Daya suddenly getting really nervous hurriedly clutched his hand while cutting him anxiously as: Abhi main…
Abhijeet cut him assuredly while tightening his grip on his hand with: Relax Daya, main ny sir sy excuse ker lia hai already… (Daya gulped down a nervous breath while nodding to him, trying to relax his tensed nerves now sidewise listening to Abhijeet completing as…) Yun bhi sir ny humien bulaya nahin hai sirf kaha hai k ager hum uss samey wahan rehna chahien tou reh sakty hain…
Daya nodded silently now and kept sitting there quietly for few more moments, looking like he was now thinking about something else but after not finding enough courage in himself at the moment…
Daya while standing asked the latter silently as: Pani lainy k liye aaya tha bahir, tum pio gy…?
Abhijeet easily understanding the war going on in his brother's head and could see that something was still bothering him and even though he had some idea what that something could be, he really wanted him to ask that himself to help increase his confidence which his younger one had nearly completely lost… And thinking to give him some time alone in order to help him to clear his head…
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Hmm… (Added in light smile as…) Lekin maira special wala…
Daya in a very light smile nodded to him and left towards the kitchen completely where Abhijeet in silence kept looking at the way the younger one went for few more moments and then he too stood up, leaving towards Daya's room now, grabbing the now folded sheet in his hand…
Around half an hour later Daya returned from the kitchen to find Abhijeet sitting on the couch listening to the news on TV and joining him there…
Daya grabbing the glass from the tray forwarded it towards the elder one with: Tumhara Ginger-Honey water…
Abhijeet grabbed that smilingly with: Thank you… (And seeing Daya grabbing his cup from the tray now, Abhijeet asked him confusingly with…) Tum iss time chai pei rahy ho Daya…?
Daya shook his head plainly with: Green tea hai…
Abhijeet nodded slightly in reply and they both kept sitting there pretending to watch TV now, when after around a minute of placing back the still half-full teacup on the tray…
Daya uttered quite hesitantly as: Abhi…! (Abhijeet, who was waiting for that call since Daya had returned from the kitchen, had successfully refrained himself from giving any extra attention to the younger one and trying to sound casual replied as "Hmm…?", where Daya gulping down a nervous breath, looked towards his brother reluctantly with…) Anirudh lrry ga kya ab bhi maira case…?
Abhijeet, turning off the TV's volume and placing his empty water-glass on the tray now, completely turned towards the latter and looked towards him in a firm way with: Ab bhi sy kya matlab hai tumhara Daya, kya ho gaya hai ab…? (Daya had just clutched his hand in a tight fist looking in real pain now though he kept looking away where Abhijeet told him in same strong tone as…) Sirf pehla hi nahin, dosra case bhi wohi lrry ga… (Daya looked towards him unbelievably though relieved, listening to his brother telling him now as…) Aur iss samey shaid woh ussi dosry case py kaam ker raha ho ga… (Daya nodded slightly while hanging his head down when Abhijeet asked him firmly as…) Daya yahan daikho mairi ourh… (Daya hesitantly looked towards him quietly and Abhijeet told him in same strong tone while looking straight in his eyes with…) Baat kerty samey samny waly ki ourh daikh k baat kia kro… (Daya gulping down a nervous breath unintentionally lowered his gaze again where Abhijeet lifting his face up, looked deep in his eyes with…) Tum ager aaj mairi ourh daikh ker bhi baat nahin ker paa rahy Daya tou kal ko puri duniya ki aankhon mein aankhien daal ker baat kaisy ker pao gy tum, haan…? (Intentionally ignoring those slowly turned moist eyes, trying to remain composed, Abhijeet told him in care-filled-firm tone as…) Tumhien bahadur bn'nana ho ga Daya, anniyaye k khilaf shuru hony wali iss jung mein hum sb tumhary sath hain bchcha lekin yeh jo jung tumhary ander chal rahi hai, yeh tumhien khud hi lrrni ho gi aur jeetni bhi ho gi, samjhy tum…?
Daya nodded him slightly while gulping down a moist breath and silently grabbed Abhijeet's hand in his both hands now like was trying to get some strength from that assuring grip on his hand when after few moments of hesitation and struggle…
Daya slowly looked towards Abhijeet reluctantly with: Mujhy baat kerni hai tum sy Abhi, zarori baat hai bohut…
Abhijeet switching off the already muted TV, turned his complete attention towards him with: Tou kro bchcha, main suun raha hoon…?!
Daya licked his dry lips nervously while trying to figure out some starting point of the thoughts running wild in his mind at the moment and then softly clearing his throat…
Daya looked towards the elder one hesitantly while trying in careful tone as: Abh-Abhi main woh… (And exhaling a long deep breath to calm down himself, he tried again little calmly this time now as…) Abhi main apni olad ki custody ka case as a civilian file kerna chahta hoon please…?! (And seeing only silence spreading on the elder one's face getting his meaning well, Daya hurriedly tightening his grip on the Abhijeet's hand tried to convince him little restlessly as…) Abhi samjho na please, yeh, yeh koe aam case nahin hai Abhi, ptta nahin ks ks tarhan ki baatien hoon gi, ptta nahin kya kuchh suun'nana prry ga mairy karen tum sb ko bhi, main…
Abhijeet tried to cut him there with: Daya tum…
But…
Daya cut him in injured tone with: Main jaanta hoon Abhi k tum yehi kaho gy k main fazool bol raha hoon ya main easa kuchh na sochon… (Looked at his brother in immense pain with…) Lekin iss sy sach bddal nahin jaye ga na Abhi… (Abhijeet kept looking at his brother with aching heart in silence knowing he won't listen to him at the moment where Daya nodded to him assuredly while roughly dusting off the drop from his cheek with…) Main yeh bhi jaanta hoon k hum sb aik priwar hain aur tum sb bina kisi baat ki perwah kiye maira sath bhi doo gy aur mairy sath iss lrrai mein lrro gy bhi aur maira vishvas kro Abhi please, main pury mnn sy iss baat ko own bhi kerta hoon, sach… (Abhijeet in silence just placed his free hand on the younger one's hands as his silent effort to assure his brother that he believes him where Daya looked at his brother with loads of pain in his voice with…) Abhi main nahin chahta k apni olad ko uss ki pehchan dainy ki iss lrrai mein main uss iddary, uss profession ka naam kharab hony dun js ny mujhy mairi pehchan di, main CID ka naam iss sb mein nahin lana chahta yar, please… (Abhijeet just gulped down a moist breath, trying to keep sitting there wearing a brave face from his brother who started looking down now adding in hurt-filled-pain as…) Aur phir main ny baad mein bhi tou resign hi kerna hai na, tou jo kaam kal kerna hai woh aaj hi ker daita hoon… (And suddenly looking again towards Abhijeet, told him in fear-filled-injured tone as…) Please Abhi, Monday ko mairi medical leave khatam ho jaye ga aur mujhy Tuesday ko join nahin kerna yar, mujhy resign kerna hai uss sy pehly… (While looking down and unknowingly tightening his grip on his brother's hand, added in scare-filled-pain as…) Mm, mujhy drr lagta hai ab bohut Abhi… (And he slowly started zoning out now with his gaze fixed at one point, adding in slow-scared tone as…) Mujhy CID mein wapis aany sy drr lgta hai, mujhy cheekhon sy, andhery kamron sy, golion sy, khoon sy, sb sy drr lgta hai… (Started mumbling in real scare now as…) Ghgh-ghundy, ghundy sb paker-paker lien gy mujhy, nahin chhura paon ga main khud ko, woh-woh-woh mm-mujhy injection dien gy, injection dien gy woh mujhy… (And he started yelling quite loudly now as…) Abhi mujhy nahin laina injection, Abhi rr-rokko, mujhy nahin…
And Abhijeet, who was hoping that talking about all that would help Daya in some way and was continuously trying to assure him through his tight grip on the latter's hand, got worried seeing him panicking like that now and…
Abhijeet finally cut him a little aloud as: Daya, Daya…! (Finally breaking Daya's trance who jerked badly on that loud voice while hurriedly moving back in fear where Abhijeet had hurriedly firmed his grip on Daya's hand while caringly placing his free hand on Daya's face with…) It's Okay Daya, it's Okay, relax, main hoon tairy sath bchcha, sb theek hai, relax…
Daya gulping down a nervous breath, roughly wiped off the sweat from his face and still breathing heavily he looked around to make sure where he was currently present and then again looked towards his brother to receive an assuring nod in return that helped him to slowly calm down and licking his dry lips, Daya hurriedly grabbing Abhijeet's other hand too, gave him a weak assuring nod, now looking down to hide those salty drops that silently fell in his lap, evident of his helplessness and pain while he kept sitting there tightly holding Abhijeet's both hands in his both hands now as his unintentional effort to relax his emotions and to control over his racing heart…
And though Abhijeet had very well noticed those salty drops that fell directly on his heart, he kept his composure for his brother and kept sitting there in silence while assuring that scared-broken soul through his care-filled grip on his hands…
When after some time, seeing Daya had quite calmed down now…
Abhijeet asked him caringly as: Theek hai tu bchcha, pani pieye ga…?
Daya slightly shook his head with: Nahin, tum bs yahin baitho mairy paas please…
Abhijeet tightened his grip on the latter's hand caringly with: Main yahin hoon tairy paas bchcha, yahin hoon main…
Daya just nodded in reply still looking down when knowing what must be going on in the younger one's mind, Abhijeet thinking to divert his mind from there smoothly freed his one hand from the latter's now loosened grip and lifting Daya's face up…
Abhijeet looking directly in his eyes, told him in complete seriousness with: Ager tum ab theek ho tou mujhy tumhien aaj hi aik zarori baat bhi samjhani hai Daya… (Daya kept looking towards him in silence so he continued quite strictly now as…) Aur main chahta hoon k yeh baat tum aaj hi bohut achhy sy samajh lo, mujhy aagy chal k kabhi dohrani na prry apni baat bilkul… (Daya kept looking at him in silence-filled-question while the latter told him firmly as…) Yeh sirf tumhari jung, tumhari lrrai nahin hai Daya, aur iss liye hum tumhary karen logon ki baatien nahin suunien gy… (Daya unintentionally quietly lowered his gaze now where deciding to ignore it for now, Abhijeet told him in disgust-filled-anger as…) Yeh jo hum insanon k beech mein vehshi darindy ghoom rahy hain na sharafat ka naqab pehny, unn k ghinowny chehron sy yeh sharafat ka naqab noch k phainkny ki lrrai hai yeh Daya, unn k asal chehry logon k samny lany ki lrrai hai, logon mein jagrukta paida kerny ki lrrai hai yeh… (Daya slowly turned his gaze towards the elder one again where Abhijeet nodded to him in same heated way with…) Aur humary easa kerny sy sirf taqat k nashy mein dooby, ghamandi, neechh cheezon ko hi takleef ho gi aur shor bhi sirf wohi mchchaien gy lekin unn k shor ki perwah kisy hai yahan, haan…? Tumhien hai koe perwah unn ki…? (Daya's head automatically moved in negative where Abhijeet nodded him firmly with…) Good, honi bhi nahin chahiye kyun k humien unn ki koe perwah nahin hai iss liye dobara kabhi mtt sochna k yeh sb tumhary karen ho raha hai, samajh gaye tum achhy sy…?
Daya nodded to him quietly in assurance feeling a strange kind of strength in himself when nodding him back, Abhijeet gave a soft pat on his upper-arm where leaning forward, Daya had quietly rested his forehead on the elder one's chest, feeling mentally exhausted and tired where Abhijeet had smoothly rested his free hand on his back now while stamping a soft kiss on his head…
There remained complete silence for some time now with both brothers sitting there silently now with the younger one's mind too drained to think anything while the elder one's mind, too active with loads of things going on in there… And even though Abhijeet could see that Daya was in no condition to resume his job in such mental state as he had witnessed just few minutes ago how quickly Daya sank back in those darkness filled haunting memories and how much only the thought of him joining back had scared him, but still wanting to take one last chance with his younger one…
Abhijeet softly weaved his free hand in the latter's head, asking him really softly as: Mujhy aik aur baat ka jawab dy ga tu please…? (Daya still sitting in the same posture just nodded in reply while Abhijeet asked him in hurt-filled-caring tone as…) Tu ny achhy sy soch lia hai kya Daya wapis join na kerny k barey mein…? (Daya slowly moving back, looked towards his brother with cracks in his eyes where Abhijeet gulping down a moist breath, softly placed his free hand on Daya's cheek, asking him in pain-filled-silence as…) Taiyar ker lun main khud ko iss baat k liye…? (Daya kept looking at him with loads of mixed emotions and gulping down a moist breath while fighting back his tears, he finally nodded to him in reply holding loads of pain in his eyes while the lump stuck in his throat didn't allow him to speak at the moment, where Abhijeet could clearly see how much heart-breaking that decision was for Daya himself hence trying to remain strong for his brother and without trying to convince him otherwise, knowing it would only increase the pain of his brother, Abhijeet smiled at him through immense pain with…) Ker lia taiyar…
And Daya just closed his eyes tightly, letting out an audible sob while dropping few salty pearls in silence and leaning forward, he quietly rested his forehead on his brother's shoulder, as listening to those three words had caused him both immense pain and much relief at the same time… Where understanding his condition really well, Abhijeet had smoothly pulled out his other hand from Daya's hands and protectively secured his brother in a tight-assuring embrace, who was now sobbing in his arms, hugging him tightly while salty pearls of pain and hurt were rolling down from the elder one's eyes too, clearly showing the pain and hurt that that decision had caused them both…
After few minutes, feeling Daya was little calm now…
Abhijeet, wiping off the moisture from his own face first, gulped down a moist breath and told the latter in a composed tone as: Daya tu apna resignation letter mujhy dy daina bchcha, main sir ko dy dun ga khud hi…
Daya still unable to speak just nodded in reply while tightening his grip around his brother where Abhijeet placing a soft kiss on Daya's head, kept rubbing his fingers in his younger one's head, assuring him about his presence with him, no matter what…
When after remaining in that supportive embrace for some more time and feeling much better now Daya slowly moved back and…
Abhijeet caringly removing the salty drop from the latter's cheek, asked him caringly as: Tu theek hai na Daya…?
Daya while wiping off his moist face, nodded slightly with: Ab theek hoon… (Asked him silently as…) Tum…?
Abhijeet smiled assuredly with: Main bhi… (Daya nodded him silently in answer and started looking away now when after thinking for few moments and hoping it would help in diverting the latter's mind from the pain that decision must had caused him, Abhijeet, trying to sound fresh, said softly as…) Daya main aik baat soch raha tha yar… (Daya looked at him silently in question so Abhijeet continued in balanced tone as…) Bohut samey ho gaya hai tujhy sb sy mily hoye… (Daya unintentionally instantly hid his eyes understanding well where it was going while Abhijeet completed in same balanced tone as…) Iss liye main soch raha tha k kal sb ko dinner py bula laity hain, taira kya khayal hai iss barey mein…?
Daya nodded him in composed way with: Bula lo Abhi… (Looked towards him in injured smile with…) Ghairon ki aankhon mein aankhien daal ker baat kerny ki himmet tou apnon ki ourh daikhny sy hi milly gi na mujhy…
Abhijeet smiled at him through immense pain and cupping his face, placed a soft kiss on his forehead while a drop silently slipped from his own eye when gulping down the moisture in his throat…
Abhijeet while dusting off the drop from his cheek, moved back, telling the latter in composed tone as: Main kal Bureau mein btta dun ga phir sb ko, theek hai…? (Daya nodded him silently while Abhijeet told him caringly as…) Achha ab tum bhi jao, mun dho ja k aur… (While softly combing his hair with his hand, continued as…) Apna yeh huliya bhi thora theek kro… (Glanced over the wall-clock with…) Sunil aany wala hai sessions waghaira k liye… (Completed in light smile with…) Tumhary sath sath mujhy bhi dantt per jaye gi uss sy, utho chalo, shabash…
Daya nodding to him stood up and soon left towards his room where Abhijeet grabbing the tray now left towards the kitchen sidewise dialing Sunil's number…
Soon listening to the call getting attended from the other end…
Abhijeet without wasting a single moment, asked him in straight tone as: Kitni dair mein aa rahy ho…?
Sunil asked him worriedly as: Raasty mein hoon, kya hua, sb theek hai wahan…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Haan, don't worry… (And peeking out from the kitchen to make sure that Daya was nowhere around, he continued as…) Mujhy tumhien kuchh btana hai, aur kuchh important baat bhi kerni hai jo Daya k samny nahin ker sakta…
Sunil nodded attentively with: Haan tou btao yar, main suun raha hoon…?
Abhijeet was still standing on the kitchen's door-step now, in a way that he could keep an eye on the lounge and Daya's room but Daya couldn't see him standing there unless he was particularly looking in that direction where…
Abhijeet asked Sunil with mixed emotions of happiness, sadness, pain, anger and relief with: Pehly good news sunno gy ya bad…?
Sunil replied in straight tone as: Bad…
Abhijeet replied quietly as: Daya aaj kal mein CID sy resign ker dy ga, main ny uss ka faisla maan lia hai…
After few moments of complete silence from the other end…
Sunil's composed voice rose from the other end as: Sahi kia tum ny bilkul… (Abhijeet remained silent where Sunil continued trying to sound fresh as…) Achha ab good news bhi btta doo yar, aaj kal tou yun bhi achhi khaber kmm hi suunai per rahi hai kahin sy…
Abhijeet, leaving his few moments' back pain aside, told him quite overwhelmingly as: Daya ny aaj sir aur Freddy k samny Anirudh ko Amavasya k khilaf apni olad ki custody ka case file kerny ka keh dia hai…
Sunil exclaimed in pure joy as: What…! It is such a break-through with Daya, Abhijeet, tumhien andaza hai na k yeh kitni brri achievement hai yar, finally humari mehnat rang ly aai… Hua kaisy yeh sb…?
Abhijeet while glancing over Daya's room door replied him as: Sunil details bttany ka time nahin hai yar, woh sb main tumhien raat ko btaon ga aaram sy, abhi Daya k aany sy pehly mujhy tum sy aik bohut imporatant baat kerni hai issi barey mein…
Sunil nodded while getting alert with: Haan kaho Abhijeet, kya zarori baat hai…?
Abhijeet told him little quietly as: Anirudh keh raha tha k Daya mein confidence ki bohut kmmi hai aur uss ny kaha hai k Daya ko kisi bhi tarhan convince krien unn teen mahino k barey mein openly baat kerny k liye ta k woh court hearing k liye kisi hdd tk prepare ho skky, criminal defense lawyer uss ko toorny ki hr mumkin koshish kry ga court mein aur ager Daya iss samey uss sb k barey mein baat kerny sy yunhi hesitate kerta raha tou Daman Kaale ko case jeetny k liye zada mehnat nahin kerni prry gi…
Sunil understanding well what he was trying to say replied understandably with: Don't worry Abhijeet, main Daya sy baat kerta hoon aaj k session mein iss sb k barey mein mager tum dihan rakhna please k ussy ptta na chally k humari aaj kisi barey mein bhi koe bhi baat hue hai…
And the same moment noticing Daya emerging from his room now…
Abhijeet hurried inside the kitchen while replying to Sunil in hurried tone as: Haan theek hai aur Daya aa raha hai issi taraf, bye…
And cutting the line the same moment, Abhijeet placing his mobile on the kitchen counter, left towards the kitchen sink the same second on his way grabbing the tray from the kitchen counter too and when Daya entered in the kitchen, he found Abhijeet casually busy washing those utensils they had used few minutes back…
And the ringing doorbell interrupted Abhijeet's thoughts when slowly opening his eyes, Abhijeet took few moments to grasp the scenario and then unintentionally looked towards his mobile screen to go completely silent now, seeing Daya was still sitting there in his room in the same posture as before…
