Flashback…
DUO's Home…
Lounge…
Coming out from Daya's room, Abhijeet was headed towards the kitchen to place that empty milk glass there when stopped in his track seeing Sunil was sitting there on the couch while throwing his head on the headrest and looking at the ceiling in silence hence placing the empty glass on the dining table…
Abhijeet, changing his track, left towards him with: Tum kb aaye aur gaye kahan thy tum…? (And seeing the latter's attention was already turned towards him now, Abhijeet grabbing the seat beside him, completed as…) Mujhy lgga shaid guest room mein ho gy lekin jb main Daya k liye dodh lainy aaya tha, main ny daikha tha wahan lekin tum wahan nahin thy, kahin bahir gaye thy kya tum…?
Sunil nodded in composed way with: Hmm… (And he silently signaled him towards the plastic-bag placed on the centre-table with…) Iss mein kuchh medicines hain, yeh Daya ko shuru kerwani hain aaj sy, yehi lainy gaya tha…
Abhijeet throwing a confused glance on the plastic-bag, turned his attention towards the latter again, asking him in confused tone as: Kaisi medicines hain yeh…?
Sunil replied in composed tone as: Anti-depressants hain kuchh aur kuchh dosri medicines… (Abhijeet looked at him in silence while Sunil glancing over him, continued quietly as…) Woh self-harm ki taraf ja raha hai Abhijeet aur yeh depression ki aik bohut khatarnak form hai… (Inhaling deeply while spreading hands on his face, he added as…) Mujhy yeh medicines tabhi shuru kerwa daini chahiye thien jb uss ny khud ko jllaya tha lekin tb mujhy lgga shaid therapies sy baat bn jaye lekin nahin, Daya ki jo mental condition hai uss mein sirf therapies kafi nahin hain… (Added in pain-filled-anger as…) Shastri ny jb kaha tha k woh Daya ki himmet toory ga, he actually meant it… (Abhijeet in silence supportively pressed his shoulder encouragingly when Sunil composing himself, nodded to him with…) Main theek hoon Abhijeet, don't worry… (And changing the topic, he grabbed the plastic-bag from the centre-table with…) Aur yeh medicines aaj sy hi shuru kerni hain iss liye main tumhien btta daita hoon k kb koun si daini hai, wasey for the save side main ny inn medicines py timing aur dosage likh bhi di hai…
Abhijeet nodded understandably when minutes' later, seeing Sunil completing his briefing about the schedule of the medicines…
Abhijeet nodded understandably with: Hmm, theek hai, abhi tou uss ko sula dia hai main ny kuchh daer k liye, dinner k baad sy start ker daity hain yeh course… (Sunil just nodded in silence when taking a momentary pause, Abhijeet asked him in a little confused tone as…) Wasey tumhien ptta kaisy chala k Daya ny khud ko kuchh kia hai, jb main wapis aaya tha kamry mein tou tum nahin thy wahan…?
Sunil replied him in silence as: Js tarhan sy bathroom mein jaty hi tum ny uss ka naam pukara tha, tumhari aawaz mein jo khof, jo panic tha, wohi kafi tha yeh bttany k liye k uss ny phir sy khud ko kuchh ker lia hai…
Abhijeet getting quiet had already turned his gaze away while the two kept sitting there in silence, because of no-one wanting to talk about anything at the moment, having different things running in their minds…
When after around a minute's complete silence…
Abhijeet's silent toned voice rose as: Sunil main soch raha tha k sir logon ko mnna ker dun kya kal aany sy…?
Sunil shook his head with: Nahin Abhijeet, easa nahin kerna please… (And receiving a slight nod in reply, Sunil suggested him in composed tone as…) Bl k maira khayal hai k tum Anirudh ko bhi invite ker lo kal dinner py…
Abhijeet not convinced, tried again as: Lekin Sunil, Daya ki jo condition hai…
Sunil, completely turning towards him, cut him softly as: Abhijeet, Daya needs to interact with other people, ager hum issi tarhan sy taalty rahy tou woh kaisy nikl paye ga apny uss khoul sy js mein uss ny khud ko qaid kia hua hai iss samey, haan…?
Abhijeet nodded half-heartedly with: Haan, theek hai tumhari baat bilkul lekin Anirudh ko kal bulany ki kya zarorat hai, I mean, pehly hi mujhy ajeeb si tension hai k Daya ptta nahin kaisy react kry ga sb ko daikh ker, aur ab Anirudh ko daikh ker tou zaror panic ker jaye ga woh…
Sunil replied him in composed tone as: Abhijeet ager Daya ny yeh lrrai lrrny ka faisla ker lia hai tou ab ussy puri tarhan sy iss lrrai mein aana ho ga… (Glancing over the silent soul, he continued in same composed tone as…) Tum sy baat hony k baad main ny baat ki hai Anirudh sy… (Abhijeet looked at him in shock-filled-silence while listening to Sunil adding as…) Woh bohut zada concerned hai Daya ko ly ker Abhijeet, uss ki kuchh reservations hain aur uss ki woh sb reservations theek hain bilkul…
Abhijeet sighed deeply while nodding as: Mujh sy bhi baat ki thi Anirudh ny apni reservations ko ly ker lekin…
Sunil cut him softly as: Koe lekin nahin Abhijeet, ab time nahin hai humary paas kisi bhi lekin ka, humien mil ker Daya ko prepare kerna ho ga warna Daman Kaale sach mein iss case ko aik ouchha publicity stunt sabit ker dy ga… (Abhijeet instantly looked at him holding pain-and-anger in his eyes while Sunil nodded to him understandingly as…) Jaanta hoon k ghussa aaya hai tumhien mairi baat py lekin tum khud socho k jb aaj Daya apny priwar ko, apny lawyer ko milny sy itna ghabra raha hai tou kal ko woh defense lawyer ko, court ko, media ko, sb ko kaisy face ker paye ga…? (Abhijeet spreading hand on his face, turned his face away while nodding to him in reply while Sunil suggested in composed tone as…) Iss liye maira khayal hai k kal Anirudh k sath Daya ka aik session ho jaye tou achha rahy ga… (Abhijeet looked at the latter worriedly while Sunil nodded to him assuredly with…) Baat ko samjho please, Daya jitni baar woh sb boly ga, utni hi aasani ho gi ussy court mein woh sb bolny mein…
Abhijeet cut him in hurt-filled-anger as: Aur utni hi baar ussy ussi takleef sy guzarna bhi ho ga na Sunil…?
Sunil inhaled deeply while asking him calmly as: Tou ager woh chup rahy ga tou kya tb ussy kisi takleef sy nahin guzarna ho ga…? (Abhijeet kept silence still looking away while Sunil shaking his head to himself, added in composed tone as…) Abhijeet iss samey hum mein sy koe bhi, khas-krr Daya, apni takleef k barey mein nahin soch sakty… (Abhijeet looked at him in pain while Sunil nodded to him with…) Ager humien Shastri ko takleef pohanchani hai tou humien apni takleef bhoolni ho gi… (Abhijeet just tear his gaze away in pain-filled-silence while Sunil completed in composed tone as…) Iss liye main tumhien phir sy kahon ga k chahy privately sahi, lekin Anirudh ka Daya k sath aik session hona bohut zarori hai, jaisy woh sb kuchh main ny aik psychiatrist k point-of-view sy sunna hai, Anirudh aik lawyer k point-of-view sy suney ga aur iss sy hopefully unn dono k dermian aik comfort level, aik trust bhi develop ho jaye ga, aur phir Anirudh ko case prepare kerny mein kafi help bhi mily gi…
Abhijeet nodded in composed way with: Main baat kron ga Daya sy aur Anirudh ko bhi invite ker lun ga kal dinner py…
Sunil patted the latter's shoulder encouragingly with: Good… (To receive a silent nod in return hence Sunil added in soft tone as: Wasey mujhy tumhien thanks bhi kehna tha… (Abhijeet looked at him in silence-filled-question while Sunil added in same soft tone as…) K tum ny Daya ko interrupt nahin kia, I know kuchh points py bohut mushkil raha ho ga tumhary liye sb suun'nana… (Abhijeet had already turned his completely silent face away while Sunil completed as…) Lekin aaj k session mein Daya ko js moral support ki zarorat thi, uss k liye tumhara uss k sath rehna bohut zarori tha warna Daya itna sb shaid kabhi na keh pata, uss ny tou knowingly ya unknowingly apni baat shuru hi easey ki thi jaisy woh tum sy baat ker raha hai aur sach kahon tou aik point k baad mujhy easey lggny lgga tha jaisy ussy ehsas bhi nahin raha k wahan koe aur bhi hai, woh sirf tum sy baat ker raha tha, sirf tumhien suuna raha tha woh sb and I must appreciate k tum ny bohut himmet sy suuna sb…
Abhijeet replied in quiet tone as: Himmet tou kerni thi na Sunil, ager hum hi himmet na ker paye tou woh kaisy himmet ker paye ga js ki himmet hi hum hain… (Sunil in silent smile pressed his shoulder supportively while Abhijeet glanced over him, nodding assuredly as…) Aur phir tum ny bhi tou samjhaya tha k Daya sy baat kerty samey ehiyat kerni hai, main ager ussy tookk daita ya rook daita tou bhagwan jany woh iss baat ka kya matlab nikal laita… (Completed while saying more to himself as…) Pehly hi woh aaj kal jany kya kuchh sochny aur samajhny lgga hai…
Sunil, unintentionally turned his face away, unknown to Abhijeet who kept sitting there looking little zoned out now and for around a minute there was no exchange of any word between both friends, who kept sitting there in pain-filled-silence fightinh with their own thoughts when thinking to change the topic…
Sunil suggested the latter quietly as: Ja k change ker lo Abhijeet, tumhary bhi kapry geely ho gaye hain…
Abhijeet shook his head tiredly with: Nahin yar, maira kuchh kerny ka mnn nahin ker raha, main dimaghi toor py bohut ajeeb si thakknn mehsoos ker raha hoon iss samey… (Sunil kept looking away in silence when Abhijeet turned towards the latter, suddenly asking him restlessly in pain as…) Sunil, yar hum surrogacy ka option use nahin ker sakty kya, haan…? (And receiving a shocked-questioning look in return, Abhijeet tried to convince the latter little agitatedly now as…) Mujh sy brdasht nahin ho raha yar k mairy Daya ki inn sb takleefon, uss k inn sb dukhon ki jo asal karen, jo asal wajah hai, ussi janwar k paas uss ki olad hai, aur phir ager hum yeh option use kerty hain tou yeh khatra bhi khatam ho jaye ga na k woh uss bchchy ko koe nuqsan pohancha dy gi, haan…?
Sunil softly pressed Abhijeet's hand caringly with: Abhijeet sb sy pehly tou tum shant ho jao… (And receiving a helpless-agitated look in return, Sunil nodded to him softly as…) Relax… (Abhijeet nodded while trying to obey the latter while Sunil added in composed tone as…) Abhijeet uss bchchy ko jo khatra hai Amavasya ki taraf sy woh aik limited time k liye hai bs, aik time k baad abortion ka option nahin rahy ga… (Abhijeet looked at him in pain while Sunil nodding to him, continued as…) Kyun k tb tk baby itna develop ho chukka ho ga k abortion possible nahin ho ga aur phir easey samey mein baby-carrier ki apni life ko bhi khatra ho…
Abhijeet cut him in strange sooth as: Baby-carrier…?!
Sunil nodded to him in composed way with: Hr aurat maa nahin hoti na, kuchh sirf baby-carriers hoti hain aur Amavasya bhi unhi mein sy aik hai, aik time k baad uss bchchy ko janam daina uss ki marzi na sahi lekin uss ki majbori zaror bn jaye ga, aur abhi woh samey aany mein kitna samey hai, yeh sirf Daya btta sakta hai, lekin itna vishvas rakho tum k ager uss baby ko iss duniya mein aana hai tou ussy koe nahin rook skky ga… (Abhijeet nodded while looking away, listening to Sunil adding as…) Aur raha surrogacy ka option tou yeh aik bohut complicated procedure hai aur yeh procedure baby conceive kerny sy bhi pehly start ho jata hai… (Abhijeet looked towards the dejectedly while Sunil continued in same composed tone as…) Aur phir yeh procedure first week of pregnancy mein hi pura kerna hota hai jb k aik hafta tou tum logon ko Daya ko rescue kiye hoye ho gaya hai… (Abhijeet just turned his face away, looking really helpless and equally in pain while Sunil added in matter-of-the-fact tone as…) Iss liye surrogacy option nahin hai Abhijeet, uss bchchy ko Amavasya k zariye hi iss duniya mein aana ho ga…
Abhijeet looked at him injured-ly with: Aur humien bardasht bhi kerna ho ga k humary Daya ki olad aik easi kokh sy janam ly gi jissy maa kehna iss pavitr rishty, iss shabd ka appman kerna ho ga kyun k woh girri hue haiwan tou, aurat tou kya, insan kehlany k bhi laiq nahin hai…
Sunil replied him softly as: Abhijeet tumhary iss tarhan ghussa kerny sy yeh sach bddal tou nahin jaye ga, iss tarhan sy tum sirf khud ki hi takleef berha rahy ho aur kuchh nahin… (Suggested him caringly as…) Tumhien ager sochna hi hai tou uss baby k barey mein socho jo bhagwan ki taraf sy humary inn sb sangharshon ka inaam ho ga, zariya bhagwan chahy js ko bhi bnaye, yeh tou bhagwan ka faisla hai na, hmm…?
Abhijeet nodded while inhaling deeply with: Hmm, yeh tou bhagwan ka hi faisla hai… (And sighing heavily while spreading hands on his face, Abhijeet turned towards the latter in light smile with…) Tum bohut achhy doctor ho Sunil… (Sunil smiled softly while giving an assuring pressure on the latter's shoulder while Abhijeet asked him in fresh tone as…) Achha tum btao, kb wapis aaye yeh medicines ly k…?
Sunil, seemingly caught off-guarded, unintentionally turned his face away with: Bs thori dair hue…
Abhijeet kept looking at him for few moments in silence and then replied him in composed tone as: Taqriben aadha ghanta pehly na…? (Sunil kept silence still looking away while Abhijeet added in sure tone as…) Tum ny mujhy aur Daya ko baatien kerta suun lia tha na, issi liye kamry mein nahin aaye aur yahin baith gaye tum…? (Again silence in reply and Abhijeet inhaling deeply, softly pressed the latter's hand with…) Sunil…
But…
Sunil cut him while turning towards him in composed way with: Don't worry dost, I have made peace with my past aur phir ussi sb past ny tou aaj mujhy iss present ko jeeny k qabil bnaya hai, yun bhi humara childhood dosry bohut sy bchchon k childhood sy bohut behter tha… (And taking a momentary pause, he added in pain-filled-anger as…) Shastri ki sb bkwas ny Daya k sb zakham phir sy taaza ker diye hain… (Abhijeet just closed his eyes in pain-filled-silence while Sunil completed assuredly with…) Warna tumhara laadla bhi yeh baat bohut achhy sy jaanta aur maanta hai, iss liye samey lggy ga thora lekin theek ho jaye ga woh bhi, chinta mtt kro tum…
Abhijeet inhaled deeply and smiled at the latter softly with: Js ki zindagi mein tum jaisa sincere dost ho, ussy chinta kerny ki kya zarorat hai…?
Sunil smiled humbly with: Thank you… (And added little mischievously as…) Wasey tum bhi thory theek hi detective ho…
Abhijeet chuckled lightly with: Thank you…
Sunil giving an encouraging pat on his shoulder, stood up with: Chalo main chai ly k aata hoon, tum bhi change ker lo, phir Daya uthta hai tou sath mein dinner krien gy…
Abhijeet nodded while standing and soon both friends left towards their respective sides…
DUO's Home…
Guest Room…
And feeling someone grabbing his shoulder was softly shaking him sidewise calling his name caringly, Sunil slowly opened his eyes recognizing that voice to find Abhijeet standing there and seeing him with his eyes opened now…
Abhijeet asked him in worry-filled-care as: Kya hua hai tumhien, easey baithy baithy kyun soo rahy ho, tabiyt tou theek hai tumhari…?
Sunil nodded while sitting sidewise trying to wake up completely with: Haan yar, ptta nahin, yunhi baitha tha, ptta nahin kb aankh lg gae… (And while yawning with his hand placed on his mouth, he added as…) Khair tum jaldi kaisy aa gaye, kaha bhi tha na daer sy aana…
Abhijeet giving him a highly disappointed look, showed him his mobile screen with: Sir raat k svva-saat ho rahy hain… (Sunil getting shocked looked towards the mobile screen to find it already striking 07:17 pm, sidewise listening to Abhijeet, who was now sitting beside him, completing as…) Bandy ny aap ki aagya ka pura pallan kia hai…
Sunil gaining back his senses, hurriedly stood up worriedly with: Svva-saat ho gaye, Daya k room ka drwaza…
Abhijeet cut him calmly with: Ker dia hai main ny bnd, relax…
Sunil looked at him gratefully while sitting again with: Thanks yar, ptta nahin kaisy itni daer tk soota raha main, yeh tou achha ho gaya k Daya jaaga nahin ab tk, warna kitna problem ho jata…
Abhijeet replied softly as: Jo hua nahin hai uss k barey mein soch k kyun preshan ho rahy ho tum…?
Sunil nodded little absent-mindedly with: Haan, yeh bhi hai… (And he murmured more to himself as…) Itna sb jo ho gaya woh kmm hai kya k jo nahin hua, ab uss k barey mein bhi preshan hoty rahien…
Abhijeet kept looking at him for few moments to find him looking away in silence, seeming little zoned out and…
Abhijeet softly pressed his shoulder with: Sunil…! (Making latter come back from his thoughts while Abhijeet completed caringly as…) Tum theek ho na Sunil…?
Sunil spreading hands on his face, exhaled heavily while nodding to the latter as: Haan, theek hoon bilkul, don't worry… (And he turned towards the latter while completing in composed smile as…) Achha tum mairi chinta chhoro aur yeh btao k yeh aik aankh py neela-peila design bnwany ka naya fashion aaya hai kya, ager bnwana hi tha tou dono py bnwa laity…
Abhijeet giving him a heated look, replied disappointedly with: Bkko mtt, aik kidney racket k peichhy thy hum log kuchh samey sy, aaj finally hath aa gaya pura gang tou ussi mein lg gae yeh…
Sunil nodded while examining the bruise now as: First-aid li…?
Abhijeet nodded with: Sir yunhi nikalny daity kya Bureau sy…?
Sunil chuckled with: Point… (And asked while smoothly freeing the latter's face with…) Lgga kya tha, punch…?
Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Gun ka barrel…
Sunil unintentionally exclaimed little loudly as: What…!
Abhijeet gave him a disappointed look with: Goli nahin lggi, wohi chalny wali thi js ki hatha-pai mein yeh chhoti si chot lg gae, iss liye itna preshan hony ki zarorat nahin hai, rooz ka kaam hai yeh tou humara…
Sunil replied in disappointed anger with: Tumhara rooz ka kaam hai, maira tou nahin hai na, aur chhoti chot nahin hai, achhi khasi swelling hai aur cut bhi hai… (And he uttered more to himself as…) Iss ko cover ker daita hoon bandage…
Abhijeet cut him hurriedly as: Koe zarorat nahin hai bandage vandage ki, theek hai bilkul, fazool mein itni chhoti sic hot ko itna brra bnna rahy ho tum…
Sunil gave him a stiff look with: Tum sy tumhara mashwara manga hai kisi ny…? (Abhijeet gave him grumpy glare to receive equally hard look in return with…) Baitho yahan, aa raha hoon main…
Abhijeet tried to protest as: Arry lekin…
Sunil, who was already standing now, cut him with: Apny sy kisi samajhdar ki suun bhi laity hain kabhi Senior Inspectoe Abhijeet sir… (And seeing Abhijeet looking around now, Sunil asked him confusingly with…) Yahan wahan kya daikh rahy ho tum, kya dhond rahy ho…?
Abhijeet gave him a sweet smile with: Apny sy koe samajhdar…
Sunil chuckled disappointedly sidewise giving a light punch on his upper-arm with: Hilna nahin yahan sy warna dosri aankh py bhi yehi design bnna dun ga…
Abhijeet chuckled softly with: Roger that sir…
And shaking head in disappointed smile Sunil left towards the bathroom to soon return after washing his hands to find Abhijeet hadn't moved from his place hence taking out the medical kit…
Sunil grabbed his previous seat while appreciating the latter as: Good… (To receive only a disappointed look in return when soon Abhijeet flinched with Sunil placing the spirit swab on his wound, hence Sunil softly blew air on his wound with…) Cut kchcha hai kafi iss liye spirit lg raha hai aur iss liye iss ko cover kerna zarori hai ta k infection na ho… (Abhijeet just nodded without saying anything while Sunil diverted the topic with…) Achha, baat ki tum ny sir sy chhution ki…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Hmm, mil jaien gi jb tum btao gy… (And taking a momentary pause, he completed little worriedly as…) Lekin main ny Salunkhy sahab sy bhi baat ki hai aaj, abhi farmhouse k arrangements complete hony mein thora samey hai, sb kuchh bohut khamoshi aur ehtiyat sy kerna per raha hai, ager hum ny apni speed tezz ker di tou kisi ko shak ho sakta hai…
Sunil nodded understandably with: Don't worry yar, humien yun bhi, abhi near future mein Daya ko kahin aur shift kerna bhi nahin hai, at-least tb tk, jb tk ussy yun panic-room mein rakhny ki zarorat hai, woh yahin rahy ga aur hopefully tb tk farmhouse k bhi sb arrangements complete ho jaien gy… (Abhijeet nodded getting relaxed when Sunil, completing the dressing now, moved back with…) Lo ho bhi gae dressing, itni si baat thi fazool mein nakhry kiye ja rahy thy…
Abhijeet gave him a grumpy look with: Kerwa li hai na dressing, abhi tk brr-brr kiye ja rahy ho aur yun bhi itni chhoti chhoti choton py itni brri brri bandages nahin bandhvata main kabhi…
Sunil argued back with: Yehi chhoti chhoti unattended chotien hi na baad mein brri ho jati hain, suuna nahin hai kabhi, stich in time saves nine…
Abhijeet heaving an annoyed breath, stood up with: Arry bhae maaf kro mujhy tou tum, tum sy tou behes kerna hi fazool hai, sahi kehty hain log, doctor aur vakeel sy bhagwan bchchaye hr aik ko…
Sunil, who to was standing now, replied heatedly as: Haan aur police walon sy bhi bhagwan dushman ko bhi dour hi rakhy…
Abhijeet gave him a fiery look with: Baat hi nahin kerni mujhy tum jaisy fazool insan sy, ja raha hoon main change kerny, hunh…
Sunil exclaimed on his back as: Haan tou jao, main brra farigh baitha hoon na yahan tum sy gppain hankny k liye… (And seeing Abhijeet already left now, Sunil kept grumbling to himself now as…) Jaisy aur koe kaam hi nahin hai mujhy, aaya brra… (And still grumbling, he started packing his first-aid kit with…) Achha hota dosri aankh bhi phoor daita woh jahil criminal, Raccoon bnna phirta rehta na yeh surreal police wala, tb qadar aati issy hum doctoron ki, apni perwah kerni nahin hai, koe aur kry tou brr-brr-brr-brr, brr-brr-brr-brr, khiska hua na ho tou, pagal…
And with such frustration and grumblings, Sunil finally left inside the bathroom to get dressed for his hospital…
Soon Abhijeet, now dressed in casuals, returned in the guest room after finding the lounge empty to find Sunil busy preparing his office-bag hence…
Abhijeet stepping forward, asked the latter confusingly as: Tum abhi sy kyun ready ho gaye, abhi tou aath hony mein bhi kitna time hai, aur tumhara duty time tou noo bjjy start hota hai…?
Sunil still busy with his bag, replied casually as: Yar main soch raha hoon jaldi ja k Dr. Vijay sy mil lun aur main bhi apni chhution ki baat ker lun unn sy…
Abhijeet asked him, sounding more like he was reminding the latter as: Lekin tum hi ny tou btaya tha k Dr. Vijay subah k time hoty hain hospital, iss time nahin hoon gy woh…
Sunil looked at him like acknowledging that reminder as: Arry haan yar, mairy tou dimagh sy bilkul nikl hi gae yeh baat…
Abhijeet replied him in meaningfully as: Dimagh aur shareer aik hi jagah py na hoon tou easa ho jata hai…
Sunil gave him knitted-eyebrow with: Kya matlab hai iss baat ka…?
Abhijeet shrugged in complete seriousness with: Jb sy aaya hoon, daikh raha hoon k tumhara dimagh kahin aur hi hai, pouchho tou Sunil sahab baat bddal daity hain…
Sunil, already looking away now, glanced at the latter disappointedly with: Tum apna yeh detective dimagh na apny kaam tk hi rakha kro, hr jagah mtt chilaya kro issy… (And receiving a frustrated look in return, he suggested the latter as…) Ghorna bnd kro aur ja k apna woh pulao taiyar ker lo, ladla uthny wala hai tumhara…
Abhijeet replied him in complete calm as: Yakhni taiyar hai, pulao bn'nny mein koe time nahin lggy ga, dinner yun bhi main ussy late hi daita hoon ab tou hum aaram sy apni baat… (And his ringing mobile interrupted their conversation and Abhijeet, giving the latter a heated look, pulled out his mobile and looking at the caller ID, Abhijeet turned towards the latter with…) Aa raha hoon wapis call ly k, this discussion is not over…
Sunil gave him a cold look to receive a firm look in return and he turned his gaze away while Abhijeet left the room, talking with his informer now…
Soon ending the call Abhijeet returned in the guest room to be welcomed by an unpleasant pungent smell and he instantly looked in the direction of the window to find Sunil standing there while looking outside in silence… Inhaling deeply, Abhijeet left towards him and approaching him, Abhijeet smoothly pulled out the lighted cigarette from the latter's hand, bringing him back from his thoughts and…
Sunil without looking at him, said in light tone as: Worry not dost, bhara hua nahin hai…
Abhijeet while stubbing out the cigarette now, replied as: Fazool mtt bkko… (And turned towards the latter with…) Packet doo aur lighter bhi…
Sunil giving him a smiley glance, pulled out a cigarette box from his trousers pocket with: Issi mein hai lighter… (Abhijeet giving him a hard look, left towards the dustbin to dispose off the things in his hand, sidewise listening to Sunil's casual voice as…) Faida kya hai wasey, fazool mein ghareeb aadmi ka kharcha kerwa daity ho, pehly bhi tou kitny phaink chuky ho tum…?
Abhijeet now returning towards him, asked him heatedly as: Tou ghareeb aadmi kyun easey fazool k kharchy kerta hai, haan…?
Sunil chuckled in relax way with: Tum sy inspired hoon na, tum bhi tou fazool ka kharcha ker k rooz tension kharid k baith jaty ho…
Abhijeet returning towards him, replied stiffly as: Bkwas nahin kro, main aakhbar kharid k perhta hoon lapait k almari mein bnd nahin ker daita, jb k tum cigarette nahin peity, fazool mein jlla k hath mein pakkry rakhty ho, laity hi kyun ho tum yeh, haan…?
Sunil shrugged in relaxed way with: Khisky hoye dimagh ka doctor jo hoon… (And he winked at the latter in light smile as…) Sabit bhi tou kerna hai kisi tarhan…
Abhijeet looked at him disappointedly with: Sunil…!
Sunil cut him softly while giving a light pressure on his hand with: Abhijeet, please… (Abhijeet looked at him in helpless-pain, knowing something was bothering the latter which he was not willing to share while Sunil added in same soft tone as…) Tumhien bhi ptta hai k main smoking nahin kerta, phir tension ks baat ki hai tumhien…?
Abhijeet replied him meaningfully as: Tumhien ptta hai k mujhy ks baat ki tension hai…
Sunil inhaling deeply, assured him in composed tone as: Main theek hoon bilkul… (And moving again to his previous posture, he started looking outside the window again while saying silently now as…) Yunhi kabhi kabhi jb mairy ander kuchh jllny lggy, kuchh sulagny lggy tb cigarette sulga laita hoon, uss ka karwa bdd-boodar dhuwa'n mujhy aik ajeeb sa sakoon daita hai, jaisy uss dhuwan ki kerwahat mairy ander ki kerwahat ko bhi apny sath ly ja rahi hoti hai… (And sighing heavily, he added quietly as…) Main shaid tumhien nahin samjha paon ga k main kyun jlla laita hoon cigarette lekin mujhy aik ajeeb sy salvation ka ehsas daita hai uss ka jllna… (And he completed saying more to himself now as…) Easey jaisy woh jllta rahy ga tou main bch jaon ga, aur ager woh na jlla tou main jll jaon ga…
And he came back from his thoughts with an assuring pressure on his shoulder and glancing over his friend, Sunil turned his gaze away again, to hide the immense pain came in his eyes now, when thinking to give him some space…
Abhijeet encouragingly patted his shoulder with: Ja k mun dho lo, you will feel better, main chai ly k aata hoon, mil k chai peity hain…
And pressing his shoulder supportively, Abhijeet was about to leave the spot when…
Sunil stopped him in composed tone as: Abhijeet…! (Abhijeet turned towards him in question and Sunil already looking towards him now, completed in requesting tone as…) Chai nahin, coffee please, I need something strong…
Abhijeet nodded assuredly and left from there towards the kitchen while Sunil left towards the bathroom…
