123, Hahahahahaha how ironic yar seriously, haha… Anyhow there was a time when such things used to bring some completely different kind of answer from me but after learning that anger brings wrinkles while laugh brings dimples, I improved myself and now I just laugh at people's intellect and audacity because will always prefer dimples over wrinkles, so thank you for giving me a good laugh, really needed that in such hectic schedule of my life… And yups, that was a nice try, I give you that and also congratulations for your brilliant analysis love, kudos on your findings… And lastly, usually when I don't know something, I don't pretend like knowing it because it makes me embarrassed when the thing turns out to-be something else, anyway, I write because ultimately I love to write… May you find happiness in your life dear, take care.
Guest, Thank you sooo very much deary, indeed means a lot to me, thank you… :-* And yups Boss, maira bhi yehi plan hai k jaisa likh rahi hoon waisa hi likhti rahon, main yun bhi apni stories mein major changes kabhi nahin kerti, and about what someone is saying so had read somewhere that "Try not to take things personally; What people say about you is reflection of them, not you" and I believe on this theory wholeheartedly… :))) So sweet of you yar, good to know that chapters re-read ker k aap ki confusions doour ho jati hain, much love… :-* Bilkul Boss, deal done… :-* Thank you love, much humbled, hugs… :-* Khush raho hamesha aap, much love… :-* Thanks a lot dear, keep smiling and stay safe, god bless you… :))
Nee, Umm Boss I am little confused about the starting of your review, quite not getting it what you were trying to say, sorry for that, but anyhow, the time where Shastri locked Daya sir, there Amavasya also supported his that decision because she knew that her father was doing so to make sure that Daya would never dare to leave again, if it wouldn't be the case then she could very easily save Daya from that torment simply by asking from Shastri little forcefully, being such a Laado-Rani she is of him… :P ;P But she knew that her father would never let Daya die and to make sure of it, she had declared to her father that if the torment exceeded a certain limit, causing her losing Daya, then her father too would lose his daughter for forever… While both the times, Amavasya actually got scared were the times when she felt that she was going to lose Daya to death, but the time where Daya was locked with the dead-body, at that time she was not scared for his life but was agreed with her father to teach Daya a lesson "the hard way", which in their eyes was much needed for Daya… :))) Hahaha pleasure is all mine love and thank you to you too, much humbled and that was really sweet, hugs… :-* Thanks a ton love for liking the flow of the story, it indeed means a lot to me yar, seriously, much much humbled, hugs… :-* Agreed Boss, DUO are indeed love, hehe, and thank you sooo very much yar for liking the addition of a twisted mind person in the story, I am absolutely deeply humbled and motivated by all your appreciation and love, much love to you… :-* :-* Yeah yar Boss, it's basically the character of an obsessive lover who wants to dominate and control every aspect of that person's life to whom she thinks, she loves, and she wants that person to response positively to that love and when he is unable to-do so because of not being able to find anything in their relation that could be seen as love, she gets mad and hostile towards him because of not getting what she wanted, true psycho, hehehe… :P :P Hahahaha thank you sweetheart for finding it lovely combination and enjoying it, haha, it was my first time on writing some character I myself dislike this much, hahaha, so thank you for liking and appreciating this experiment of mine, deeply humbled I am… :-* Thank you yar, seriously, I am really honoured and humbled by your this much appreciation yar, truly, thanks a lot, tighttttt squeezing warmth filled hug for you… :-* :-* Thank you deary for liking the inclusions of both DUO and Amavasya's part in the same chapter, loads of love to you… :-* Oh right right Boss, Okays, will try to work on this thing Boss, to make their scenes more natural and detailed though I am not sure how much will get successful in that, hehe, as I intentionally am avoiding going deep in their interaction because to be honest yar, I feel like going too deep in details has negative potential of glorifying or romanticizing such a heinous crime as rape, So I really really am trying my best to keep their scenes at its minimum and maybe that's what you have felt and you are completely right on your place because I indeed am avoiding their scenes and maybe that's what is making their scenes feel rushed or left in the mid but I really want to keep their every interact depicting only helplessness, pain, fear, lust, a clash of emotions, something that angers you, you know, that creeps you out even when you are only reading it, like someone had eaten a bitter almond and hence immediately spitted it out, something as disgusting as this… So if you have any idea in your mind that still will make rape looks like rape but will gives the scene complete details and a sense of completion, then please do share, I too will try to be more careful about writing their scenes, thank you for pointing this thing out Boss, much love to you, khush raho hamesha aap, hugs… :-* :-* Thanks a lot dear, keep smiling and stay safe, god bless you… :))
Guest, Hi, thank you for the appreciation, humbled… Bilkul sahi Boss, agreed… True… Bilkul sahi kaha aap ny yehi zindagi hai aur yehi zindagi ki talkh haqeeqatien hain, and no, I cannot tell you my any such experience but it does not mean that I have no experience to tell… ;) You see dear, we all have our own struggles in life, we all have our own battles to fight and our own demons to kill… I am not in your shoes; you are not in mine… We, humans in general, don't know the struggles of each other's lives and in my eyes, this sole reason is enough to-be more empathetic and more accommodating in our lives towards others; to live and allow others to live too… :)) Yar readers ager apni zindagi ki uljhano'n ko kuchh daer k liye bhoolany k liye stories perhty hain tou as a writer main ny writing start hi as my way of catharsis ki thi, kyun k zindagi ki doorian hum writers ki bhi uljhi uljhi hi hoti hain… Kahin perha tha main ny k ager zindagi itni hi koe zabardast cheez hoti tou hum rooty hoye paida na hoty, it's life and life is ruthless, so it's entirely on us either to get buried under the stones life throw in our way, or start throwing those stones in other people's way by thinking if I am hurt then why the other person isn't, or we can use those stones as a ladder and step-up in life, choice is ours only… Suggestion dainy ka bhi aik tareeqa hota hai dear, aap sy bilkul pehly Nee ny bhi aik suggestion dia hai mujhy, if you want, you can check how and what Nee said, and then can read your own suggestion aur AllTimeReader ny last chapter k review mein healthy criticism bhi kia hai, if you want you can go through that one too, aur rude koun hua koun nahin, I will like to leave that debate… Hahahahahahaha thank you for your unasked suggestion yet again, and I too am really sorry to say but at-least being a learned person mujhy yeh baat bohut achhy sy ptta hai k as an individual hum apni izzat kerwaty bhi khud hain aur ganvaty bhi khud hain, iss liye aap ko mairi izzat k barey mein fikermnd hony ki zarorat nahin hai, I can take care of that very well… Aur raha review k baghair story likhny wala aap ka suggestion tou main sirf raasty k aik-aadh kerwy experience ki wajah sy apny friends sy baat-cheet kerna kyun bnd kron… Jinhien mairi rudeness sy zada problem ho raha hai woh review kerna bnd ker dien, ya chahien tou story perhna bhi bnd ker dien, ya bhaly sy mairi wall py aana hi bnd ker dien, I don't care at-all… Well main ab bhi apny liye hi likhti hoon dear one, yahan share kerti hoon kyun k yeh maira aik medium hai apny friends sy regularly interact kerny ka, aur aap ko zada tension lainy ki zarorat nahin hai mairy liye kyun k mujhy puri umeed hai k easa kabhi nahin ho ga k mairy readers bilkul hi khatam ho jaien, yun bhi zindagi mein log milty aur bichharty rehty hain, it's part of life as Mohsin Naqvi sir said "Ab Koe Aaye Chala Jaye Main Khush Rehta Hoon; Ab Kisi Shakhs Ki Aadat Nahin Hoti Mujh Ko", sou main ny bhi apny aap ko improve ker lia hai and now I don't worry of people leaving me, jo jana chahty hain khushi sy jaien, jo rehna chahty hain khushi sy rahien, besides, I am all into quality, not quantity… That's good to know k aap logon k zehno'n py likhti ho, good for you aur main ny kahin nahin kaha tha k aap khud likh lo, I only shared my own experience k main ny kya kia tha, kyun k main aik reader bhi hoon aur as a reader I know k story perhty hoye humien bohut sy ideas aaty hain but writer apny mind k hisaab sy likh raha hota hai and I am mature enough to understand k doo logon ka dimagh na hi bilkul aik jaisa kaam ker sakta hai aur na hi mairi sochon ko koe mujh sy behter alfaz ki shakal dy sakta hai, so instead of suggesting the writers how they should write their own stories, I started writing my own, aap ny mairi baat ko jaisy bhi lia, yeh aap ki apni understanding hai, no need to give me the credit of that… Really good to know k aap ko mairi mentality aur personality ka ptta chl gaya hai, I am thrilled… Thank you for allowing me to keep it up as I wish, though between us, maira yun bhi koe irada nahin tha rukny ka… Aur jaisa aap ko maira reply perh ker feel hua, mujhy bhi aap ka review perh ker waesa hi feel hua tha so the feeling is mutual… Take care…

Present…
DUO's Home…
Daya's Room…
Flashback…
DUO's Home…
Abhijeet's Room…
Abhijeet glancing over the room door, turned his attention towards Daya again to find him sitting there quietly looking completely uninterested about maybe everything and…
Abhijeet told him softly as: Main aata hoon Daya…
And giving a soft pat on his shoulder, Abhijeet stood up while wiping hands on his face to look composed and leaving towards the room-door, opened it to find ACP sir present there where…
ACP sir giving him an encouraging smile, softly patted his cheek caringly while moving in the room and turned his gaze to the other side of the room, to find his younger son, looking unaware of his presence in the room, was absent-mindedly busy in tracing the design of the room's tiles with his forefinger…
ACP sir looked towards his elder son again to find there was deep silence spread in his ever-talking eyes and gulping down a silent breath to keep his composure in front of his sons, ACP sir giving an understanding-encouraging pressure on Abhijeet's shoulder, completely turned towards Daya and…
ACP sir without leaving towards him, called him with loads of love and care present in his voice as: Daya…!
Making Daya, with a little jerk, moved his gaze from the floor towards his fatherly figure and then towards his brother, to find him quietly standing there beside ACP sir and…
Daya again turned his gaze towards ACP sir apologetically while slowly standing now with: Sorry sir, woh…
But…
ACP sir cut him while trying to sound complete casual with: Bchchy tum yeh sb formalities chhoro aur jaldi sy fresh ho ker aao, tum dono ko bulany aaya hoon main…
Daya got completely quiet on ACP sir's that gesture though still not wanting to move outside, looked towards Abhijeet reluctantly where…
Abhijeet looking little-embarrassed-little-reluctant, asked him apologetically as: Sir aap kyun aa…
ACP sir cut him in light-friendly tone as: Kyun bhae, tumhary room mein maira aana mnna hai kya…?
Abhijeet hurriedly shook his head with: Nahin sir, maira…
ACP sir cut him casually with: Bs, nahin mnna na iss liye aa gaya main… (And he turned towards Daya again with…) Aur Daya, tum ab tk yahin kyun khary ho…? (Told him in polite-care-filled tone as…) Jao aur jaldi sy fresh ho ker aao, sb ny bohut pyar sy dinner bnaya hai sb k liye, jao jaldi sy shabash…
And unable to deny that love and care present in his fatherly figure anymore, Daya glancing over Abhijeet, to receive a very subtle encouraging nod from there, quietly left inside the bathroom where now completely turning towards his elder son…
ACP sir asked him softly as: Tum theek ho…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Jee sir… (And taking a momentary pause, he asked him in really silent tone as…) Sir hum yeh jan'nny k baad bhi k Amavasya ny khoon kia hai, kuchh nahin ker sakty na…?
ACP sir inhaled deeply while nodding to him quietly with: Hmm, jb tum dono room mein aa gaye thy tou bahir hum sb baithy yehi sb discuss kerty rahy hain aapas mein… (Looking towards Abhijeet, ACP sir added in composed though matter-of-the-fact way as…) Amavasya k khilaf humary paas koe saboot nahin hai Abhijeet, uss aadmi ki laash bhagwan jany kahan hai, uss farmhouse sy nikalny wali laasho'n mein easi koe laash nahin mili humien jaisi Daya ny bttai hai… Aur phir woh hathiyar js sy woh aadmi mrra, woh gun Raka ki thi aur jitna woh Shastri ka wafadar hai, bohut zada chances hain k ager hum kisi tarhan uss mrrny waly aadmi ka Shastri sy connection aur uss farmhouse mein uss ka murder sabit ker bhi dien tou Raka uss murder ka ilzam apny oper ly ly ga… (Completed quietly as…) Shastri ka koe bhi aadmi Amavasya k khilaf kabhi gawahi nahin dy ga aur farz kro ager kisi ny gawahi dy bhi di tou bhi uss gawahi ko sabit kerny k liye bhi humien saboot ki zarorat prry gi jo humary paas iss samey nahin hain…
Abhijeet replied in frustrated-anger with: Sir woh Raka bhi tou nikl gaya hath sy uss rescue waly rooz… (Getting angry on himself, added in same frustration as…) Uss rooz uss ki taang mein goli maarny ki jagah uss ki taang hi toor daini chahiye thi mujhy ya kmm-sy-kmm ussy kisi kamry mein bnd ker k jana chahiye tha mujhy lekin uss samey mairy dimagh mein Daya ko ly ker itna drr aur tension thi k ussy wahin baehosh chhor gaya main… (Shook his head, looking disappointed and angry on himself with…) Ghalati ho gae bohut mujh sy, easey nahin chhorna chahiye tha mujhy ussy… (Completed in frustrated-anger as…) Ptta nahin kb hosh mein aa gaya woh wapis sy aur uss sb hangamy ka faida utha ker, kb aur kaisy uss farmhouse sy nikl gaya, hum ny baad mein dhonda bhi ussy wahan jb Shastri k baqi aadmion ka intezam ker rahy thy lekin woh chooha tou jany koun si bil mein ja k chhup gaya k kahin mila hi nahin…
ACP sir, who was calmly waiting for him to vent out his frustration, softly pressed his shoulder supportively with: Shaant ho jao tum Abhijeet… (Abhijeet looked at him looking angry, frustrated, annoyed, helpless, all at the same time while ACP sir continued in same calm-composed way as…) Aur Raka tumhari kisi ghalati k karen wahan sy nikalny mein kamyab nahin hua bchchy… (Abhijeet just turned his gaze away, still looking angry on himself because since that day, he was feeling himself responsible for the slipping away of Raka while ACP sir added in same polite tone as…) Woh Shastri ka right-hand hai Abhijeet aur Shastri jaisy apradhi ka right-hand koe nou-seekhiya nahin ho sakta baita… (And softly grabbing Abhijeet's face, ACP sir making him look towards himself, added in confident smile as…) Aur vishvas kro tum maira k woh dobara bohut jald pakra jaye ga aur uss ko ACP Pradyuman ka right-hand hi pkkry ga, hmm…? (Fire of confidence again lit in ACP sir's right-hand's eyes and he nodded to his fatherly figure in complete confidence and assurance, giving him a non-verbal promise and ACP sir giving a soft pat on his cheek, now turning serious, asked him in composed tone as…) Achha ab yeh sb chhoro, aur yeh btao k tumhien koe chance lgta hai kya k Daya ko uss mrrny waly aadmi ki laash k barey mein kuchh ptta ho sakta hai…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly though little unsurely as: Ho sakta hai sir kyun k abhi bhi easa kafi kuchh hai jo shaid sirf uss ko ptta hai… (Completely in complete silent tone as…) Lekin sir woh sb kuchh bohut dheery dheery aur tukro'n mein btta paa raha hai…
ACP sir getting what he was trying to say, nodded to him assuredly in supportive way with: Main samajhta hoon Abhijeet k humien uss k sath bohot patience sy kaam laina hai, aur woh kuchh btta paa raha hai, yehi bohut hai bchchy… (Abhijeet nodded in agreement silently while ACP sir completed in pain-filled-composed tone as…) Aur phir uss k liye woh sb baar baar yaad kerna mushkil bhi tou bohut hai, mager zarori hai yeh, uss k liye bhi aur humary liye bhi…
Abhijeet nodded in supportive-assuring way as: Aap theek keh rahy hain sir, Sunil ka bhi yehi kehna hai k uss k liye bohut zarori hai sb bahir nikalna… (ACP sir nodded silently while Abhijeet asked him in composed tone as…) Sir main soch raha tha k hum Daya k through uss mrrny waly aadmi ka sketch bnwa laity hain kyun k uss aadmi ka naam waghaira tou kuchh ptta nahin hai humein tou sketch k through hi pohanch paien gy hum uss ki identity tk…?
ACP sir nodded thoughtfully with: Hmm, sahi keh rahy ho tum Abhijeet… (And then looked at Abhijeet calmly with…) Dinner k baad pouchhty hain uss sy, tareeqy sy… (Abhijeet nodded in composed way when ACP sir looking towards the bathroom door in confused way, asked more to himself as…) Yeh Daya itna time kyun lgga raha hai bathroom mein…?
Abhijeet, who had heard that, replied in really quiet tone as: Sir woh ab itna hi time lggata hai… (ACP sir looked at him in pain-filled-silence while Abhijeet continued in same silent-aching tone as…) Baar baar hath-mun dhota rehta hai, din mein aik sy zada baar shower lainy sy mnna kia hai issy tou yunhi teen teen char char baar hath, mun, paon, sb dhota rehta hai, kabhi kabhi tou kamry mein wapis aaty hi, phir dobara wapis chala jata hai aur…
And he stopped abruptly while composing himself where ACP sir too hurriedly changed his expressions from hurting to calm-casual, seeing Daya returning now and…
ACP sir said in complete casual way as: Chalo Daya, tumhara hi wait ker raha tha main, aao hum bahir chalty hain aur Abhijeet tum bhi jaldi sy fresh ho ker bahir aa jao, hmm…?
Abhijeet nodded in composed way while Daya, who had already stopped in his way and was looking both shocked-and-reluctant now, looked towards Abhijeet in denial who tried to assure him through eyes when noticing Daya still not moving from where he was standing…
ACP sir asked him politely as: Daya, baita main hoon na mairy chiranjeev k sath, hmm…? (Daya looked at him while gulping down a moist breath where ACP sir caringly forwarded his hand towards his younger son with…) Aao, hum log bahir chalien, Abhijeet aa jaye ga, aao shabash…
Daya looked towards Abhijeet again to find a supportive-soft smile there and inhaling deeply while gulping down a nervous breath, Daya hesitantly stepped forward and slowly grabbed his fatherly figure's hand, who held his hand protectively and…
ACP sir turned towards Abhijeet softly with: Jaldi aana tum bhi…
Abhijeet nodded assuredly with: Jee sir… (And feeling Daya's nervous gaze on himself, he completed while looking at Daya in soft smile with…) Doo minute mein aa raha hoon main bs…
Daya nodded weakly where giving a soft pat on his cheek, Abhijeet exchanging an understanding-comforting look with ACP sir, left from there towards the bathroom while ACP sir left towards the room's door, taking Daya with himself…
Lounge…
Seeing them returning, everyone intentionally did not give them any extra attention, those who were busy in talking, remained busy in their talks and those busy in setting the dinner-table, remained busy in their work…
Where moving forward, ACP sir grabbed a seat on the two-seater couch, with Daya sitting beside him while ACP sir kept holding his hand in his soft-protective grip and though got busy in talks with others but kept patting Daya's hand's upper side affectionately with his free hand as his indirect effort to keep him calm and reassured…
When minutes' later noticing Abhijeet returning from the room now…
ACP sir called him casually while standing with: Yahin aa jao Abhijeet tum…
Abhijeet feeling embarrassed, hurriedly tried to stop him with: Sir aap baithien please, main…
ACP sir cut him disappointedly as: Yeh tum aaj itna formal kyun ho rahy ho mairy sath, hmm…? (Completed in sweet-fatherly tone as…) Baith jao jaldi sy warna mujhy tou mairy chiranjeev k sath baithny mein koe masla nahin hai mager tumhien Salunkhy k sath baithna prry ga…
The threat with a hidden tease brought chuckles from Abhijeet's and Sunil's mouths, earning them burning look from Dr. Salunkhy while Abhijeet was already sitting beside his brother now when noticing ACP sir sitting beside him…
Dr. Salunkhy protested grumpily as: Tou mujhy kya kaanty lggy hoye hain jo tumhara yeh laadla mairy sath nahin baith sakta, haan…?
ACP sir winked at his Laadla mischievously with: Ab Cactus k poudy mein kaanty tou hoon gy na…
Both friends had bowed down their heads a little more to hide their laughs this time where…
Dr. Salunkhy looking like sitting on a burning stove, retorted as: ACP yeh tum ho jo mairi aur Abhijeet ki dosti nahin hony daity, bilkul hi na kisi shaitani dimagh wali chaalbaz aurat k jaisy fazool baithy teelian lggaty rehty ho tum… (Both Abhijeet and Sunil unintentionally though instantly looked towards each other in shock-filled-hidden laugh while Anirudh was also enjoying that cute fight happening there and no-one dared to interrupt the enraged oldies and kept listening to Dr. Salunkhy completing as…) Kisi kaam dhandy mein mnn lggao apna ta k tumhara yeh shaitani dimagh kisi achhy kaam lggy, hunh…
ACP sir, looking quite furious on his buddy's dare was going to reply something when thanks to Vivek, their argument got interrupted by him, who came there inviting them all for the dinner that was served on the dinning-table for self-service…
Soon after serving themselves the dinner, they all could be seen sitting in the lounge again, taking their dinner in light casual talks on topics like weather, sports, etc., with Daya remained completely quiet during the whole time and no-one forced him to take part in the conversation…
After having their dinner, they all could be seen sitting in the lounge having tea now when…
Dr. Salunkhy said appreciatively as: Bhae Freddy tumhara yeh Abhijeet-Daya k ghar py hi dinner prepare kerny ka idea tha aik dmm zabardast, sb kuchh hi bilkul fresh tha, bohut mazey ka dinner bnaya tum logon ny aaj, thank you…
Freddy smiled humbly with: Thank you sir aur yeh Manisha ka idea tha, jb main ny ussy kuchh recipes pouhhny k liye call ki, tabhi uss ny yeh idea dia k khana pura prepare kerny ki jagah sirf initial preparations ker lien, final cooking yahin aa k krien ta k khana fresh rahy bilkul…
Dr. Salunkhy nodded in small smile when…
Sunil asked in a little confused way with: Call ker k kyun, bhabhi ghar py nahin hain kya…?
Freddy, turning his attention towards him, slightly shook his head with: Nahin, woh kuchh dino'n k liye apny maaiyke gae hue hai, summer-vacations chl rahi hain na aaj-kal bchchon ki tou aik doo hafto'n k liye woh sb behen-bhai wahan ekaththy hoty hain chhution mein…
Sunil nodded understandably in light smile and they finished their tea in such light talks when…
ACP sir, trying to sound casual, turned towards Abhijeet with: Haan yaad aaya, Abhijeet, tum easa kerna k kal thora late Bureau aa jana…
Abhijeet, though knowing the reason already, still playing along, asked in pretend-confused way as: Kyun sir…?
ACP sir appreciating his response in his heart, replied in same calm-casual tone as: Kal main subah mein aik sketch artist bhaejo'n ga tum logon k ghar, Daya k sath baith k, uss mrrny waly ghundy ka sketch bnwa laina tum aur phir Bureau aaty samey sketch sath hi ly aana… (Abhijeet nodded understandably when ACP sir now turning his attention towards Daya who was quietly busy in memorizing the carpet's design, called him calmly as…) Achha Daya, baita tumhien koe idea hai uss ghundy ki laash kahan ho sakti hai…? (Daya in silence turned his gaze towards ACP sir who elaborated as…) Humein uss farm-house sy kuchh laashien tou mili hain lekin unn mein easi lash nahin mili koe jaisi tum ny bttai hai…?
Daya turning his gaze away, quietly shook his head with: Nahin sir, mujhy koe idea… (And getting stopped like something hit in his mind, he instantly looked towards ACP sir with…) Sir uss farmhouse sy thory fasly py koe bohut brra jungle hai kya js mein aik daldal [Bog] bhi hai…? (ACP sir looked at him getting shocked, understanding well why he was asking that where Daya uttered more to himself now as…) Aik laash chhupany k liye uss daldal sy achhi jagah koun si ho sakti hai, aur ager unhon ny uss laash k sath pathther bhi bandh diye hoon gy, tb tou uss laash ko daldal sy nikalna na-mumkin hai… (And silently turning his gaze towards Anirudh now, Daya asked him in sure tone as…) Na laash hai, na hathiyar, na gawah aur na koe saboot, Amavasya ko szza nahin ho sakti, hai na…? (And receiving only silence from the other end, Daya nodded in broken smile while turning his gaze down with…) Sahi kehti thi woh k woh bohut khush-qismet hai… (Dejectedly looking at his own palm, completed wounded-ly as…) Bhagwan ny uss k hath ki lakeero'n mein shikasst ki lakeer rakhi hi nahin hai…
And a salty pearl of anguish silently fell on his palm where gulping down a moist breath, Daya spread his hand on his face while trying to compose himself when…
Sunil's composed voice rose as: Aik tareeqa hai ab bhi… (Turning all attentions towards him while Sunil added in balanced tone as…) Jitna Amavasya ki personality ko main ab tk samajh paya hoon, woh aik entitled self-centered insan hai, js ko ager kuchh chahiye tou chahiye, irrespective of what means she had to use aur uss ko apny baap ki taqat aur doolat py bohut zada ghamand hai… (And taking a momentary pause, he threw a reluctant glance over Daya while adding as…) Woh Daya ko ly ker bohut zada aggressive aur possessive hai, like she owns his life and have every right to control his life, aur ab Daya uss k pagalpan sy doour jany mein kamyab ho gaya hai, she must be extremely mad right now, ager hum kisi tarhan sy uss ko court mein lany mein kamyab…
Daya, who was sitting there already feeling quite anxious, hurriedly cut him instantly with: Main uss k samny nahin jaon ga, main nahin…
Abhijeet hurriedly secured his hand in his protective grip with: Daya relax, tumhien uss k samny jany ka nahin keh raha Sunil, relax… (Daya looked at him with same fear-filled eyes with face already covered with sweat now where Abhijeet softly reassured him politely with…) Aur na hi kabhi koe kabhi tumhien easa kuchh kahey ga… (And he softly wiped off the sweat from his forehead caringly with…) Aur phir hum sb hain na tumhary sath Daya, shaant ho jao ab tum, relax…
Daya nodded while gulping down a nervous-scared breath though was still grabbing Abhijeet's hand tightly in his sweaty hands when giving a supportive-assuring pressure on his hand, Abhijeet turned his attention towards Sunil again, silently assuring him too and nodding him back…
Sunil continued from where he was interrupted with: Maira matlab tha k Amavasya ki personality jitni entitled hai k woh apny kisi jurm ko jurm hi nahin samajhti, shaid woh khud hi apny ghussy aur pagalpan mein court mein apna hr jurm confess ker ly…?
And feeling the questioning gazes turned towards him now…
Anirudh initiated in composed tone as: Usually court proceedings mein hota tou easa hi hai k dono sides ki parties sy dono sides k lawyers cross-questioning kerty hain, iss liye main Ms. Shastri ko cross-questioning k liye bula tou sakta hoon court mein… (Taking a momentary pause, he added as…) Lekin main ny yeh point ab tk iss liye nahin mention kia tha kyun k jasiy abhi Dr. Sunil ny bhi mention kia, Ms. Shastri ki personality bohut zada aggressive aur hostile hai, aur iss liye ho sakta hai k cross-question k doraan woh bohut zada hyper ho jaien, unn ka blood-pressure shoot ker jaye ya woh bohut zada stress mein chali jaien… (Completed really quietly as…) Aur bhagwan na kry lekin iss karen unn ka miscarriage ho sakta hai…
Real scare-filled-shock appeared in all eyes and all, expect one, exchanged helpless glances between them, looking like sitting there with blank minds now as the other day, ACP sir too had stopped Tasha from arresting Amavasya for any sort of interrogation because of the same reason of not want to put the child's life in danger and today again the same danger was stopping them from taking any serious step against Amavasya, making them feel really helpless, when…
A struggling-to-sound-composed voice reached all ears as: Ho jany dien miscarriage… (They all looked at him in extreme shock-filled-pain where gulping down a moist breath, Daya slowly lifting his gaze up from his lap, looked towards Anirudh with his eyes burning with ache and pain and nodded to him injured-ly with…) Ho jany dien miscarriage… (And roughly wiping off the salty pearls slipped on his face, he inhaled deeply to compose himself while adding as…) Aap risk ly lien Anirudh kyun k ager aap ny yeh risk na lia tou dosra risk iss sy bohut khatarnak hai… (Shook his head brokenly with…) Iss risk lainy k natijy mein mairi olad ya bhagwan mujhy sounmp dy ga aur ya apny paas surakshet ker ly ga… (Added while fear-filled-anguish slowly started appearing in his voice with his gaze fixed at one point with…) Lekin ager yeh risk na lia tou mairi olad bhi aik janwar bn jaye gi jo kal ko kisi bhi insan ki zindagi k sath easey khail jaye gi jaisy woh koe insan na ho bl k aik ktthputli ho js ka apna na koe wajood ho, na koe pasand aur na hi koe marzi ya ikchha…
And a hand caringly wiping off the moisture from his face, brought him back from his dark pain-filled memories and Daya looked towards his brother with red-aching eyes and Abhijeet giving a supportive pressure on his shoulder, nodded to him understandingly in hurting silence making Daya turned his gaze away while tightening his grip on his brother's hand where inhaling deeply…
Abhijeet turned towards Anirudh in composed way with: Humien yeh risk laina ho ga Anirudh, humary paas choice nahin hai koe… (Added in real pain-filled-hurt as…) Ager aaj hum khud mein yeh himmet na la paye tou kal ko humien khud mein ACP Pradyuman jitni himmet lani ho gi k hum bhi apny juniors k samny misaal bnna skien k… (Continued in immense pain with loads of pride present in his voice as…) Dil kaanmp jaye lekin hath na kaanmpy… (Many shocked gazes, holding real pain in their eyes turned towards Abhijeet, easily getting his meaning where Daya kept looking away with few more salty drops rained from his eyes again while ACP sir was looking at his sons with loads of love and pain present in his eyes while Dr. Salunkhy, though looking in pain, had encouragingly pressed his buddy's shoulder supportively where Abhijeet continued in same injured-wounded tone as…) Aur kal ko hum mein sy koe bhi shaid khud mein itni himmet na la paaye iss liye behter hai k aaj hi himmet ker li jaye, aur apni si koshish ker k faisla bhagwan ko sounmp dia jaye…
Anirudh nodded understandably in supportive-encouraging way when trying to change the distressed-hurting air…
Tasha said in composed way while trying to add some hope in the atmosphere with: Sir main soch rahi thi k humien aik baar uss aadmi ki laash jungle mein bhi dhondni chahiye, ho sakta hai k unn logon ny uss ki laash daldal mein phainkny ki jagah wahin aas-paas kahin garh di ho…?!
And before anyone else could respond…
Daya's quiet voice rose as: Nahin, easa nahin ho sakta… (And gulping down a moist breath, he inhaled deeply to compose himself while wiping off the moisture from his face, adding in same quiet tone as…) Uss sb samey mein uss k dimagh ko bohut hdd tk samajh chuka hoon main, ussy hr cheez py apna control chahiye, phir chahy woh kisi ki zindagi ho, koe faisla ho ya koe situation, woh hr cheez ko control kerna chahti hai… Uss aadmi ki laash farmhouse mein na rahy yeh uss ka faisla tha tou uss ki laash k sath kya kerna hai yeh faisla bhi uss ny hi lia ho ga, yun bhi ussy woh Daldal kuchh zada hi pasand tha…
Abhijeet getting alert, asked him in confused-though-alert tone as: Matlab…? (And elaborated his query as…) Uss ny kisi aur ko bhi phinkwaya hai kya uss Daldal mein…?
Daya slightly shook his head while replying in self-mocking tone with loads of pain and hurt present in his voice as: Ager kabhi mujhy daikh ker ussy yeh lgny lgta tha k main aik insan hoon, koe katthputli nahin tou mairi himmet wapis toorny k liye uss k paas jo bohut sy tareeqy thy, unn mein sy aik yeh bhi tha… (Added in real pain-filled-helplessness with…) Woh kehti thi k unn bchchon ki maa ko unn k samny, paon mein pathther bandh k uss daldal mein phinkwa dy gi woh… (Real pain-filled-disgust appeared in many eyes where few more pearls of anguish fell down from the wounded soul's eyes while adding as…) Iss liye jo woh keh rahi hai woh chup-chap maan loon… (Smiled brokenly as…) Warna ussy manwana tou aata hi tha… (Nodded to himself in sure tone as…) Iss liye woh daldal chahy uss farmhouse sy jitna bhi doour ho, woh laash ussi mein hai kyun k uss daldal ka istemal woh soch chuki thi, ussy bs uss istemal ka moqqa nahin mil raha tha, jo aakhirkar ussy mil gaya… (Added with his gaze fixed at some unseen point in extreme pain with…) Ager kisi ny ussy laash ko thikkany lggany ka koe aur idea daina bhi chaha ho ga tou bhi uss ny nahin suuna ho ga kyun k ussy Na suun'nna pasand nahin, aur na hi uss k nazdeek kisi k Na ki koe ehmiyet ya hasiyat hai… (Completed more to himself in agony as…) Koe chahy kitna hi Na Na cheekhta rahy, chillata rahy, chahy roo k kahey, chahy hath joor k, minnat ker k, ussy koe farq nahin perta, koe farq nahin perta ussy…
And seeing him slowly zoning out, Abhijeet caringly calling his name in composed way, tried to grab his upper-arm, resulted Daya jerked badly in extreme horror and roughly pushing his hand away, jumped away from the couch, stepping back in hurry… With Abhijeet immediately responded and standing too, had clutching his wrist had hurriedly pulled him towards himself while calling his name, preventing him from tripping and falling because of his clumsy steps and freeing his wrist…
Abhijeet hurriedly cupped his face softly, while looking deep in his eyes, telling him in care-filled-soft tone as: Daya breathe bchcha, breathe, shaant ho ja bilkul, breathe…
And slowly Daya started responding with blood started returning on his face and moving forward, he hugged his brother with his full force who could literally feel Daya's heart thumping against his chest at the moment and hence had tightened the grip of his protective embrace around his younger one…
