DUO's Home…
Lounge…
Soon Abhijeet, now dressed in his formals returned from his room to find Sunil returning from the kitchen grabbing the breakfast tray and…
Abhijeet appreciated him in friendly-teasing tone as: Kya baat hai bhae, lagta hai bohut jaldi hai tumhien mujhy ghar sy bhaejny ki…?
Sunil, now placing the tray on the center-table sidewise grabbing his seat on the couch, replied casually as: Bilkul, main chahta nahin hoon na k tum subah k argument ka bdla ACP sir ko mairi jhooti shikayet lgga k lo k mairi wajah sy late ho gaye tum…
Abhijeet chuckled lightly while grabbing his seat beside the latter with: Itny achhy bhaag kahan mairy k ACP sir, Sunil sahab k khilaf mairi shikayet suun lien…
Sunil suggested him teasingly as: Reputation bnna k rakhni thi na apni achhi si…
Abhijeet laughed wholeheartedly while sidewise grabbing his served plate from the latter and noticing the quantity of his breakfast in the plate…
Abhijeet pinched him lightly as: Wasey achha hua k tum doctor bn gaye Sunil, tumhara Mathematics sach mein bohut kharab hai…
Sunil getting his tease well, replied in relaxed tone as: Main ny socha k tumhary bhai ny tou tumhara nashta gool ker dia hai tabhi main hi thora taiyag ker dun aur aadha aadha ker dia Lasagna… (Sidewise switching on the TV, moved back on the couch with…) Aur yakhni ka cholha main ny pehly hi bnd ker dia tha, taiyar ho gae thi woh lekin palao tou ab raat mein hi bnny ga…
Abhijeet asked him confusingly as: Kyun, dopahar mein Daya…
Sunil cut him while giving a shook to his head with: Daya ko heavy dose di hai main ny, woh ab saat, aath bjjy tk hi uthy ga…
Abhijeet nodded understandably with: Hmm, sahi… (And turning his gaze back towards the TV screen, he asked him casually as…) Aur tum ny nahin jana kya hospital, taiyar nahin hoye ab tk…?
Sunil replied with: Main ny kal hi apni night duty kerwa li thi aaj k liye… (And inhaling deeply, he glanced over the latter while sounding serious now as…) Lekin Abhijeet filhal humien apna next step postpone kerna ho ga, at-least kal tk… Daya jaag jaye tou uss ki condition daikhny k baad hi decide krien gy aagy ka kuchh… (Abhijeet just gave him an understanding nod in silence as he already had no plan to give any further pressure on Daya's mind today when he came back from his thoughts, listening to Sunil now adding as…) Aur Abhijeet behter hai k tum bhi sir sy aaj apni chhution ki baat ker lo ab… (Abhijeet looked at him in hope-filled-silence where Sunil nodded to him assuredly with…) I am quite hopeful k aaj main ny last time Daya ko itni heavy dose di hai sedative ki, aagy humien bhi thora bahadur bn'nna ho ga aur ussy bhi… It will be risky but we have to take that risk…
Abhijeet just inhaled a long deep breath, like was preparing himself mentally and nodded to the latter in silence-filled-believe and then they both turned their gazes towards the TV screen and soon were randomly discussing on the animal documentary that was running on the TV…
When after some minutes…
Abhijeet taking the last sip of the tea, placed the teacup on the tray with: Main bhi nikalta hoon ab Bureau k liye… (And he looked towards the latter while adding in hope-filled-hidden-excitement as…) Sir sy chhution ki baat kerny k sath sath yeh bhi btta dun ga sir ko k bohut jald Daya sir sy milny ka kehny wala hai tou sir taiyar rahien bs… (Sunil nodded assuredly in small smile while giving a soft-assuring pressure on his shoulder where Abhijeet nodding back to him, inhaled deeply while completing in light tone as…) Main jaldi sy sahab ko bhi btta aaon k ab sy sahab ny bilkul line py rehna hai…
Sunil's smile deepened and he just nodded to him encouragingly where nodding him back, Abhijeet left towards Daya's room while Sunil got busy with his breakfast and documentary…
Soon Abhijeet returned in the lounge again and moving in the view of the latter…
Abhijeet asked Sunil in worried-confused tone as: Tum ny Daya ka sling kyun uttar dia Sunil…?
Sunil replied him assuredly as: Uss ki ab zarorat nahin hai Abhijeet… Hum ny pehly bhi woh sirf aik precautionary measure k liye hi lgaya tha aur ab tou Daya ka hath theek hai bilkul, ussy koe pain nahin hai, I checked… Aur phir aaj woh taqriben pura din hi sedatives k asr mein rahy ga tou ghabrany ki baat nahin hai bilkul, uss k hath ko pura rest milly ga…
Abhijeet nodded while getting relaxed when noticing Abhijeet moving forward was now going to grab the breakfast tray…
Sunil hurriedly protested in shock as: Tumhien ptta hai k yeh kitni rude baat hoti hai k insan khana kha raha ho aur koe uss k samny sy tray utha ly…
Abhijeet giving him a shocked-startled look, replied as: Arry lekin iss mein tou mairy brrtn hain na, main ny socha k…
Sunil cut him in straight tone as: Brrtn chahy js k bhi hoon aur tum ny chahy jo bhi socha ho, tray yahan sy nahin hily gi bilkul… (And glancing over the wall-clock, turned towards the latter annoyingly as…) Aur Daya tou hamesha brr-brr kerta rehta hai k tum tou Bureau ki jaan hi nahin chhorty kabhi lekin tum tou ja hi nahin rahy Bureau, jao na bhae ab tum, bye aur dair sy aana please…
Abhijeet giving him a frustrated-heated look, replied as: Ja raha hoon, bdtameez na ho tou, rude…
And jerking his head and still grumbling, he left towards the main door while…
Sunil exclaimed from behind as: Drive safe, see you not so soon…
Abhijeet chuckled disappointedly while replying from the main-door as: Roger that sir, bye and take care you both…
And Abhijeet completely left the home towards the Bureau while Sunil remained busy in munching on his breakfast while fully enjoying his documentary now…
Daya's Room…
After finishing his breakfast and getting freed from the kitchen Sunil returned in Daya's room and now taking out the medical equipment from his medical bag, which he had intentionally left in Daya's room earlier, he got busy in checking Daya's vitals to find both his heartrate and BP quite stable now…
Sunil while putting back the stethoscope in his bag now, said to himself as: Thankfully iss ka BP tou stable hua, mujhy tou kitni tension k kahin… (And he stopped midway recalling that there was a camera present in the room, meant Abhijeet could also come to know about whatever he was going to say and Sunil did not want to worry him about his doubts so dropping the topic, he changed the direction of his talks towards his friend and turning towards Daya, Sunil said in light smile as…) Wasey tension mairi jagah tumhien laini chahiye ab Daya sir kyun k Abhijeet full mood mein hai tumhari aik aik haddi toorny k… Seriously yar, mujhy khud vishvas nahin hota k tum mein itni himmet aai kahan sy k tum ny Abhijeet ko sedative hi dy dia, ptta nahin tha kya tumhien k tumhien dhondy bina tou woh chaen sy nahin baithy ga aur js din uss ny tumhien dhond nikala uss din woh chhory ga nahin tumhien… (And slowly his smile started getting replaced with pain with…) Wasey chhoron ga tou main bhi nahin tumhien Daya, samjhaya tha na main ny tumhien uss rooz, kaha tha na koe ulti seedhi herket mtt kerna tum lekin apny mnn ki hi ki na tum ny… (Complained to him in anger-filled-pain as…) Ptta tha mujhy hamesha sy hi k tum mairi carefree nature sy jealous hoty ho, jealous insan, aur tum ny apny mnn ki ker k dikha bhi dia yeh, tumhien ptta hai main khud ko guilty feel kerta hoon, na woh sb hua hota aur na hi tum ny itna extreme step lia hota… (And dusting off the salty pearl from his cheek, inhaling deeply while composing himself, he warned the latter in worry-filled-care as…) Khair tum ny jitni apni mnn-marzi kerni thi, ker li tum ny, ab aur nahin, achha…? (Started telling the latter in hidden-fear-filled-hope as…) Aik doo din mein main tumhary dopahar k sedative bnd kerny wala hoon Daya aur Abhijeet bhi iss lrrai ko next phase mein daalny wala hai, shaid kal hi… (Chuckled with moist-hope-filled eyes with…) Aur woh purey vishvas sy sir ko aaj bttany wala hai k tum bohut jald sir sy milny ka kehny waly ho iss liye ab tumhien bilkul insan bn k treatment mein humara sath daina ho ga, koe grrbrr nahin Daya bilkul… (And he softly squeezed Daya's hand in fear-filled-worried whisper as…) Please… (And for few moments he kept looking at the latter's face, with many thoughts running wild in his head, when inhaling deeply while composing himself, Sunil uttered in fresh tone as…) Okay, good talk…
And giving an encouraging-supportive pat on Daya's shoulder, Sunil stood up and soon left the room towards the guest room to place his medical bag there now…
Guest Room…
Coming in the guest room, Sunil placing the medical bag in the almirah, returned in the room and lie down on his bed in half-lying posture with his head attached with the headrest, and was relaxed from Daya's side that he won't be waking up anytime soon…
Sunil was sitting there on the bed in silence, feeling mixed feelings of pain, hurt, anger, guilt, excitement, hope, complaint, with many thoughts of past, present and future running in his mind and all that restlessness, slowly took him to the time where…
DUO's Home…
After ringing the doorbell, Sunil was now waiting for the door to get open sidewise composing himself, not to show any excitement of what Abhijeet had told him on the call when the main door opened and seeing Abhijeet there, a broad smile followed by a beautiful shine appeared in Sunil's eyes and moving forward, he gave Abhijeet a tight warmth-filled hug, who too had hugged him really tightly, understanding well the reason of happiness of his friend as he too was feeling quite happy and relieve when…
Sunil whispered in joyous tone as: Congratulations dost, I am really happy, really…
Abhijeet smiled warmly while giving a pat on his back with: Tumhien bhi congratulations, tumhary sessions ka hi tou kamal hai…
Sunil while moving back, replied in soft smile as: Aur tumhary sath aur vishvas ka bhi…
Abhijeet smiled at him sweetly and then seeing the two still standing on the main door…
Abhijeet moving aside, added as: Achha ander tou aao tum… (And seeing Sunil moving inside now, Abhijeet completed sidewise closing the main door now as…) Apny kamry mein hai Daya…
Sunil nodded and inhaling a long deep breath, exhaled it slowly from his mouth and giving a light jerk to his body to relax his muscles…
Sunil turned towards confused Abhijeet with: Looking composed now…?
Abhijeet getting him now, nodded slightly with: Yup… (Completed in sad smile as…) Baqi ka serious tumhien Daya khud hi ker dy ga…
Sunil pressed his upper-arm consolingly with: Abhijeet…!
Abhijeet just smiled at him silently and then stepped forward with: Aao, chalien… (And changing the topic, asked him casually as…) Wasey tumhari job kaisi ja rahi hai…?
Sunil replied quietly as: Jaisi tumhari ja rahi hai…
Abhijeet glanced at him in silence and none of the two spoke anymore when reaching in front of Daya's room door now…
Abhijeet giving a soft knock on the already half-opened room door, opened the door completely and entered in the room followed by Sunil, for whose surprise, Daya seeing them coming was now placing the now closed novel on the bedside table, which he was busy reading earlier and it seemed a really positive sign to Sunil because it meant that Daya was trying to divert his mind from thinking the same thing again and again and then again…
Where…
Sunil said in fresh tone as: Arry wah bhae, koun sa novel perha ja raha hai…?
Daya glancing over Abhijeet, replied silently as: Alex Michaelides ka The Silent Patient…
Sunil nodded and before he could comment further…
Abhijeet, seeing Sunil was grabbing his usual sitting place now, said while trying to sound casual as: Chalo ab tum dono baatien kro, mujhy yeh peichhy C-block waly Mr. Saxena ny Chess ki game ki offer ki hue hai kuchh dino sy… (Looked at Daya in soft smile as…) Main aata hoon ghanty doo mein…
Daya knowing well why he was leaving now, just nodded in silence but before Abhijeet could turn to leave…
Sunil stopped him with: Oye Mr. Busy-bee, apni Chess ki game baad mein khailty rehna tum, pehly chai tou pila doo… (Abhijeet looked at him with raised eyebrow while Sunil shrugged with…) Tumhari kaali zaban k saaye ki wajah sy traffic jam mein phas gaya main yahan aaty samey, hospital sy jo chai pei k nikla tha woh bhi guul ho gae sb uss gaarion ki paa'n paa'n mein… (Jerked his head annoyingly with…) Ptta nahin logon ki daikhny ki shakti kmm hoti ja rahi hai ya dimagh istemal kerny ki jo ptta nahin chalta unhien k samny khari cheez bhi gaari hai, helicopter nahin jo aagy lggi lambi line k oper sy urra k ly jaye, aiwien fazool mein dimagh aur kaan, dono hi bnd ker diye mairy aaj…
Abhijeet chuckled while shaking his head in extreme disappointment with: Sach mein Sunil, jitni tum chai peity ho na, bhagwan na kry kisi din tumhien koe brri chot lg gae na tou mujhy tou pura vishvas hai k tumhary shareer sy khoon ki jagah chai nikly gi…
Sunil shrugged happily as: Tou achha hai na, maira naam Guinness Book of World Record mein aa jaye ga, mairy interviews hoon gy, main celebrity bn jaon ga, paisa hi paisa ho ga… (Completed teasing-heated tone as…) Tb mairi chai ko baatien lggany walon ko aik dhaila bhi nahin dun ga, bl k tumhien tou main pehchano ga hi nahin…
Abhijeet nodded in irritation-filled-tease as: Haan aur phir tumhien aik zoor ka dard ho ga tumhary iss khisky hoye srr mein aur tumhien ptta chaly ga k tum suhany sapny daikhty hoye, neend mein bed sy girr gaye ho…
Sunil shot him a grumpy glare when listening to a very faint voice of muffled chuckle, they both turned their gazes towards the third person present there, to find a very small smile still playing on Daya's face though he was looking away, sitting there just enjoying their talks… Both Sunil and Abhijeet looked towards each other in soothing smiles and…
Abhijeet feeling little overwhelmed, tried to leave the room with: Main chai ly k aata hoon…
Sunil stopped him from behind as: Abhijeet…! (Abhijeet stopping in his way, looked at him in question and Sunil winked at him in light smile as…) Cheeni rook k, ptti thook k…
Abhijeet chuckled disappointedly with: Ptta hai mujhy kaisi chai pasand hai iss truck driver ko… (Sunil just chuckled softly where Abhijeet quite composed now, turned towards his younger one with…) Daya tum pio gy chai…?
Daya slightly shook his head with: Nahin, thank you…
Abhijeet nodding to him, exchanged an understanding nod with Sunil and then left the room towards the kitchen…
When turning towards Daya now…
Sunil thinking to initiate the conversation from a light note, asked him casually as: Aur tum btao bhae, tumhien kb sy medical science ki books mein interest ho gaya jo yeh patients wali book perh rahy ho tum…?
Daya slightly shook his head while replying as: Suspense novel hai, murder mystery, Abhi ny dia hai… Uss ny perha tou ussy bohut achha lgga tou uss ny kaha k perhon phir hum baad mein discuss krien gy…
Sunil nodded appreciatively with: Hmm sahi, that's good… Tou kaisa hai…?
Daya nodded slightly with: Abhi ki choice hai, achha hai bohut… Tumhien bhi shaid achha lggy, tumhari field sy related hai, mental health hospital k environment mein likha hai novel, main perh lun tou ly jana beshak tum…
Sunil moved his hands in air with: Na bhae, thank you… Aur jaisy tumhien ptta nahin hai k main ny jitni books perni thien iss doctori k chakker mein perh lien sb, ab nahin perhny ka main bilkul… (Thinking for a moment, completed in same casual tone as…) Daikhna, audio file hue iss ki tou bttana, link hi share ker daina bl k…
Daya replied quietly as: Mairy mobile mein net nahin hai, main Abhi ko bol dun ga…
Sunil replied in calm-composed tone as: Abhijeet sy main khud bhi keh sakta hoon Daya… (Daya glancing over him, just turned his gaze away in silence where inhaling deeply and now turning completely serious, Sunil added in composed tone as…) Tumhien yunhi dheery dheery easey chhoty chhoty steps ly k zindagi ki ourh wapis aana ho ga Daya… (And all he received from the other side was silence again, so pretending like he didn't know anything, Sunil continued softly as…) Aur easey chhoty chhoty steps k sath mein, tumhien woh brra step bhi laina ho ga Daya ager tumhien apni olad chahiye tou… (Daya instantly looked at him in hurt-filled-silence where Sunil nodded to him assuredly as…) Main jaanta hoon k tumhien apna baby chahiye lekin sirf tumhary yun chahny sy kuchh nahin ho ga Daya, tumhien koe faisla laina ho ga aur woh bhi jaldi, kyun k jitni dair ho gi otna hi…
Daya cut him in composed quiet tone as: Main ny btta dia hai unn ko…
Sunil pretending like he came to know about it just now, hurriedly sat straight on the chair while asking him again as: Ks ko kya btta dia hai tum ny Daya…?
Daya gulping down a silent breath, looked towards the latter with: Sb ko sb…
Sunil kept looking at him for few moments in silence and then nodding to him encouragingly, asked him in hope as: Aur…?
Daya, getting his meaning, nodded slightly with: Anirudh mairi olad ki custody ka case lrrny k liye taiyar hai… (And seeing a broad-moist smile appearing on Sunil's face, Daya gave him a very small smile in silence and then turning his face away, continued quietly as…) Ptta nahin Sunil kaisy himmet aa gae mujh mein itni… Main tou bhaag aaya tha kamry mein chhupny k liye lekin phir sir aa gaye, unhon ny pyar sy samjhany ki koshish ki mujhy, daanta mujhy, mujhy kaha k ager main ussi tarhan chup raha tou sir mujhy thapper maar dien gy, mujh sy shikayet ki aur phir mairy karen sir rooye… (And Daya turned his pain-filled-moist gaze towards the latter with…) Abhi bhi roota hai mairi wajah sy, sir bhi rooye, tum bhi rooty ho… (Sunil just inhaled deeply to keep his composure where Daya slowly moved his gaze away with anger and hate started appearing in his voice as…) Aur woh log, woh janwar, woh sb khush hoty hoon gy, hssty hoon gy… (Looked towards his friend in pain-filled-anger as…) Mujhy unhien rulana hai Sunil, tum logon ko nahin, mujhy maira bchcha chahiye, main ussy janwar nahin bn'nny dy sakta… (Roughly dusting off the drop slipped from his eye, he started looking away with his gaze fixed at some unseen point while adding in same pain-filled-anger as…) Mairy kaano mein tumhari baatien gounjny lggien, Abhi ki, sir ki, aur ptta nahin kaisy aik dmm sy itni himmet aa gae mujh mein k main kamry mein chhupy rehny ki jagah bahir nikla aur main ny btta dia unhien, sb btta dia main ny, sb…
Sunil nodded to him softly as: Tum ny bohut achha kia yar… (Daya looked at him in silence-filled-pain where Sunil nodded to him in moist smile as…) Thank you…
Daya kept looking at him in silence for few moments and then turned his face away while roughly dusting off the drop slipped on his cheek and inhaling deeply…
Daya told him quietly as: Main ny kuchh aur bhi kia hai Sunil…
Sunil asked him in composed tone as: Kya…?
Daya opening his bedside-table's drawer, took out an envelope and for few moments he remained in the same posture while looking at that envelope in silence when, sighing deeply…
Daya turned to sat straight while saying quietly as: Maira resignation letter…
And feeling something, Daya lifted his gaze up from the envelope to find Abhijeet standing there on the door step…
For few moments, both brothers kept looking towards each other with mixed emotions of pain, hurt, ache and then both averted their injured gazes in silence and…
Abhijeet inhaling a deep breath, left towards Sunil while telling in composed tone as: Tumhari chai…
Sunil grabbed the tray the small smile with: Thank you…
Abhijeet nodding to him in silent smile turned towards his brother to find him already placing the envelope from where he took it out minute earlier hence…
Abhijeet stopped him with: Daya rukko… (Daya turning towards him, gave him a hesitant-questioning look where Abhijeet approaching him now, added in composed tone as…) Mujhy dy doo yeh letter, main dy dun ga sir ko khud hi… (Daya looked towards him with in silence-filled-pain while Abhijeet nodded him assuredly with…) Doo mujhy…
Daya nodding to him while turning his gaze away, quietly grabbed the letter in Abhijeet's already forwarded hand while Abhijeet giving a soft-assuring pressure on Daya's shoulder, left the room the same minute…
When Sunil moving his gaze away from the room's door, looked towards Daya to find him sitting there with down head while quietly wiping off the moisture from his face and…
Sunil called him with pain-filled-care as: Daya…!
Daya without looking at him, shook his head with: Kuchh mtt kehna Sunil, please, kuchh bhi nahin… (And inhaling deeply while gulping down a moist breath, looked at the latter with…) Uss ko ja k daikho please, roo raha ho ga woh apny kamry mein chhup k…
Sunil asked him quietly as: Tum kyun nahin chup kerwaty ussy ja k…?
Daya looked at him with helplessness-filled-injured gaze with: Main hi tou rula raha hoon ussy…
And he turned his face away while few drops slipped down from his both eyes where Sunil looked at him hurtfully in silence, knowing well that nothing he could say would console him hence deciding to console the half-soul of that person, he was going to stand to leave towards Abhijeet's room when stopped seeing Abhijeet appearing in the room again, looking quite composed though his red-puffed-up eyes clearly told the other two what he had been doing while…
Abhijeet trying to sound composed and avoiding looking to either one of the two, told them as: Main aata hoon thori dair mein…
But before he could turn…
Sunil stopped him with: Abhijeet rukko… (Abhijeet while stopping, looked at him with pain in his eyes while Sunil added in same composed tone as…) Baitho tum, mujhy tum sy baat kerni hai…
Abhijeet asked him in confused-questioning way as: Mujh sy…?!
Sunil nodded with: Hmm, baitho please…
Abhijeet nodded looking quite composed now, though equally confused while Sunil eyed him towards Daya and he looked towards the younger one to find him still busy in memorizing the bedsheet design hence giving an understanding nod to Sunil, Abhijeet left towards the side Daya was sitting and standing beside him…
Abhijeet gave a soft pat on Daya's back with: Daya aagy ho shabash, jagah dy mujhy…
Daya nodding to him, quietly moved a little away from the edge of the bed where he was earlier sitting as his unconscious effort to maximize his distance from Sunil, when seeing Abhijeet sitting beside him now, Daya quietly grabbed his hand in his both hands and giving an assuring pressure on his younger one's hand…
Abhijeet turned towards Sunil with: Btao Sunil, kya baat kerni hai tumhien mujh sy…?
Sunil initiated while pretending like the two were talking about it for the first time as: Mujhy thori daer pehly hi Daya ny big news di hai k iss ny Amavasya k khilaf case file kerny ka btta dia hai ACP sahab ko…
Abhijeet looked towards Daya after feeling his grip getting tightened on his hand and then turning towards Sunil again…
Abhijeet nodded slightly while telling in affectionate-overwhelming tone as: Hmm, aaj btta dia mairy Daya ny, dhond li iss ny apny ander itni himmet… Freddy aur Anirudh bhi thy aur Anirudh hi case lrry ga dosra bhi…
Sunil nodded while adding in light-friendly tone as: Itni brri news ager khud nahin bhi suunani thi tou kmm-ez-kmm iss ki khushi mein coconut waly biscuit hi khud sy khila daity…
Abhijeet chuckled disappointedly and knowing well that Sunil was indirectly trying to lighten-up the tensed body-language of Daya, hence playing along with him…
Abhijeet replied in same disappointed smile as: Tumhary coconut waly biscuit khatam hoye hoye hain… (Signaled him towards the plate present in the tray with…) Aaj inhien, peanut walon sy kaam chila lo tum…
Sunil nodded while picking another biscuit from the plate with: Hmm, yeh bhi mzzy k hain wasey… (Abhijeet just shook his head in disappointed smile sidewise giving an affectionate pat on Daya's hands, feeling his grip on his hands little loosened now when taking a momentary pause, Sunil added in balanced tone as…) Achha Abhijeet, Shastri wala case tou CID ki taraf sy hai tou uss case ko tou defend bhi CID khud hi ker rahi hai lekin yeh dosra case jo Amavasya k khilaf hai, yeh tou Daya ki taraf sy file ho ga tou iss mein Daya ko bhi court mein present hona ho ga kya…?
Abhijeet easily feeling Daya's grip tightening on his hands, gave an encouraging pressure on his hands sidewise turning towards Sunil and…
Abhijeet nodded to him while replying in composed tone as: Hmm, Daya ko apni statement record kerwani ho gi judge k samny… (Taking a momentary pause, completed as…) Dono cases mein…
Sunil nodded thoughtfully with: Hmm… (And then inhaling a long deep breath, he turned towards Daya with…) Daya…!
But instead of him, Abhijeet got the response of that call, feeling Daya's grip getting really tightened on his hand and his palms getting sweaty while now Abhijeet was feeling light pain in his hand because of Daya's tight grip and…
Abhijeet with his free hand, pressed Daya's shoulder softly with: Daya relax bchcha, relax…
And turning his gaze towards Sunil, he nodded to him as a silent signal to continue, sidewise placing his free hand on Daya's hands while…
Sunil added in same balanced tone as: Daya jaisy tum ny iss saffar ka sb sy brra aur sb sy mushkil prrao paar ker lia hai yunhi aagy aany waly sb prrao bhi itni hi himmet aur bahaduri sy paar ker lo gy tum, bs vishvas kro khud py, hmm…? (Daya didn't say anything and as Sunil was not expecting any reply from the other side hence continued in same soft-balanced tone as…) Daya ab jaisy hum bohut achhy sy jaanty hain k Shastri ko szza dilwany aur uss janwar sy apni olad lainy k liye tumhien apni statement record kerwani ho gi, iss ko avoid nahin kia ja sakta tou ab uss k liye tumhien aur humien kuchh taiyari bhi kerni ho gi na…?
And this time, finally…
Daya still without looking at anyone, asked him hesitantly as: Kk-kaisi taiyari…?
Sunil replied in strong tone as: Easi taiyari k jb tum apni statement record kerwa rahy ho tou samny wala lawyer chahy jo bhi ker ly woh unn darindo ko bacha na skky… (Daya finally lifting his moist gaze up, looked towards his friend in fire-filled-pain while Sunil nodding to him, added softly as…) Aur uss k liye tumhien bolna ho ga Daya… (Daya giving him a wounded look, turned his gaze away sidewise listening to Sunil's soft-encouraging voice as…) Tum thori daer k liye iss room ko court room imagine ker lo Daya aur Abhijeet aur mujhy audience ya lawyer ya jo tumhara mnn kry woh aur… (Added in meaningful-strong tone as…) Ab adalat k kamry mein apni statement record kerwana shuru kro Daya… (Daya looked at him with moist-injured gaze while Sunil nodded to him in same firm-composed way with…) Chaho tou wahan sy jb Abhijeet ki dantt sy tumhari subah hue, ya wahan sy jb tum ghar sy nikly, hmm…?
Daya turning his face, looked towards his brother with same scare-filled-injured-moist gaze to receive an encouraging-understanding nod from his side, followed by an assuring pressure on his hands… Daya nodding to him while gulping down a moist breath had turned his face away again sidewise pulling Abhijeet's hand bit more close to himself like was trying to get strength from that encouraging grip to speak… And both Abhijeet and Sunil knew how much difficult it would be for him to speak all that hence was giving him his due time while sitting and praying there in silence now…
And the two knew it too that Sunil had deliberately asked Daya to tell them all that from such initial point, knowing from there Daya's anger towards Ranga would indirectly help him to speak and once he would start speaking then chances were that he himself would gradually and unknowingly start speaking about all that too about which he was reluctant and to an extent, ashamed and guilty to talk about at the moment…
