AllTimeReader, Hey love, much love… :-* Hahaha c'mon Boss no worries about it and it was not-at-all late, khush raho hamesha aap, hugs… :-* Oppsie, hope you have recovered till now deary, many get well soon wishes for you, hugs… :-* Umm Boss, I am not sure if I am still understanding your query or not, mujhy lg raha hai k main aap ki baat samajh nahin paa rahi, are you trying to say that in the present Daya sir should remember about his child…? Because he remembers about being raped…? If that is your query, then in chapter no. 41 where the FB within the FB of Daya sir and Shastri is shown after Daya sir was kidnapped for the second time, there Shastri had very clearly told Daya sir that he would not be able to remember the very reason of his all that fight, his child… As you see, what Shastri did to Daya sir is conditioned and programed his mind to believe and think on certain things and locked the other things happened, away… Daya sir in the present knows about being raped, about that man dying, about Shastri and other such things that only cause him pain because those very the things he was repeatedly told during his eight days' span of second-time kidnapping/torture… I am not sure if I am answering your confusion or making you more confuse, hehe, but this all is a mind game Shastri played on Daya sir, Daya sir does not actually remember his first time's kidnapping details, if he does, then he should remember also about how that room looks and how this rooms looks, or his feet being nearly always tied with a chain, or that there was bed and some furniture in that room, such minute details, but Daya sir does not remember those things, he only remembers the things Govind had instilled in his mind… And if you were trying to say something else, then please elaborate one more time if possible as I am not sure if I am getting your query right or not… :-* Hahahahahahhaha I have really enjoyed your explanation of that Baby mystery, hahahaha, well all I can tell is that only time can tell, hehehehehehe… :P :P And yups, feeling quite flattered with your mentioning of Shakespeare's drama, hehehehe, once tried to read Hamlet that Thy, Thou, made me ran away instantly, haha, brri mushkil English hai bhae uss ki… :P :P Thank you Boss for liking the way Sunil consoled Abhijeet sir, truly means a lot, much humbled, hugs… :-* Hahahahahahaha kya kron Boss, Abhijeet sir ko Bureau sy late ho raha tha na and Sunil was having nothing better to-do, hahahahahaha… :D :P Wow Boss, that's a really cool idea, will keep it in mind deary as the FB is continued in this chapter too… :P Hahahahahaha, much love… :-* And now a deep deep heart-felt thank you to you Boss for sharing the idea for the birthday OS plot in so detail, I am really humbled and equally thankful for all your efforts and time you put into it, and even though I couldn't write on it, the plot was really nice and light-tone, the reason for not writing on the plot was the OS I already wrote on Abhijeet sir's birthday, where DUO spent their time alone in some peaceful environment in the forest away from all those crimes and blood, but thank you once again for sharing your idea deary, I was smiling even reading your idea, would love to read such light-tone belated birthday OS on your wall though, hehe… ;) :-* Khush raho hamesha yar, much love to you… :-* And a deeeppp heartfelt thank you for your lovely feedbacks on th birthday Oss, truly humbled I am, much love… :-* :-* Thanks a lot dear, keep smiling and stay safe, god bless you… :))
Sowmya, Pleasure is all mine love, much love… :-* Hahahahahaha thank you sooooo very much Boss for your sweet appreciation about my field, truly humbled I am, hugs… :-* Thank you sooo very much sweetheart for all your sweet wishes, much much humbled, hugs… :-* Khush raho hamesha Boss aap, hugs… :-* Thank you yar for your sweet effort for making me laugh, loads of love to you… :-* Hahaha hugs… :-* Hahahaha thank you yar for finding Sunil wizard of psychology, hehehe, truly means a lot to me, tightttttt squeezing warmth filled hug for you… :-* Thank you yar for liking the way Sunil changed Abhijeet sir's mind and also for finding his name, given by Abhijeet sir, cute, much love… :-* Hahahahahahaha bilkul sahi Boss, completely agreed, hahaha… :D :D True, Daya sir is really possessive for his brother, achha hai Sunil ny khud hi apni offer wapis ly li time sy, hehehe… :P ;) Hahahahaha well some mysteries only time can solve, hehe… ;) Tighttttt squeezing comforting hug for you deary, much love, and yups, the phone call part is included in this chapter, happy reading… :-* Okays, so now about the questions, so Boss about your first question so there were basically two cases in the court, one was CID vs Minister Shastri and the second one was Daya sir vs Amavasya… As shown till now, the case Daya sir contesting against Amavasya was already dismissed by the court before Daya sir left the home… And in the other case, he was only a victim or eyewitness who had already recorded his statement in the court, as the case was filed by the CID department and they continued contesting the case, with Daya sir disappearing from the scene, maybe this point will get more clear once the court scene will start diclosing… And about the second question, so let's just say that Sunil was attacked on Monday's early evening, then Daya sir after sedating Abhijeet sir left home on Wednesday's early morning, team rescued Daya sir on the eighth day's night meaning next Wednesday's late night as it was night-rescue-operation and then they directly took him from Thane to Mumbai and when Daya sir reached at the hospital, it was already Thursday's morning which was shown by all that breakfast scene in the 34th chapter, so in totality, the days from Sunil being stabbed to him meeting Daya sir again in the hospital are nearly ten days, plus the conference was also in Mumbai that's why both doctors managed to return quickly, so as per my research (Because of my limited knowledge of medicine I mostly rely on my research on medical issues), for stab wounds in stomach/abdomen a patient needs to stay in the hospital from 12 hours to 07 days, so in this case, it is safe to assume that even if Sunil was not completely recovered, he was recovered enough to already discharged from the hospital and join back his duty, plus as a doctor he was regularly visiting the hospital anyway… So these are the answers Boss, thank you for keeping an eye on such details for me, it helps me to remain more vigilant towards any and every detail, hehe, tightttt squeezing warmth filled hug for you love, much love… :-* :-* Hahahahahaha thank you Boss for your sweet wishes and praise, truly means a lot to me, and I am deeply humbled, much love to you, hugs… :-* :-* And now, a deeppp heart-felt thank you to you yar for sharing your beautiful story idea, that too in such detail, I am much humbled seriously as even though I couldn't write on it, I absolutely enjoyed reading it, it was lovely, and the only reason I couldn't write on it was because I was looking for some light-toned hssny-khailny wala plot, that plot was quite emotional, but thank you sooo very much for all your efforts and time you put in to share your beautiful story plot, soft kiss on your forehead… :-* :-* And as I too love the emotional side of my gentle gaint, hehe, so your OS idea is in my mind now Boss and I will surely try to-do some justice with it soon… ;) :-* And a deeeppp heartfelt thank you for your lovely feedbacks on th birthday Oss, truly humbled I am, much love… :-* :-* Thanks a lot dear, keep smiling and stay safe, god bless you… :))
Vaishnavi, Thank you sooo very much deary for liking the roller-coaster ride of emotions in chapter 82, hehe, hugs… :-* Thank you yar for liking Daya sr started recognizing his surroundings, much love… :-* Indeed Boss, very true, dantt tou hamesha apny Kharos aur Pyary Boss sy hi perti hai Daya sir ko, hehe… :P Hahahaha thank you sweetheart for liking and mentioning those moments, means a lot to me yar seriously, truly humbled I am, much love to you, hugs… :-* :-* Thank you deary for liking the moments between them in the past and Anirudh making Daya sir understand those things, truly means a lot to me, khush raho hamesha aap… :-* Bilkul bhae, after-all they all are support of each-other… :))) Thank you yar for liking Daya slowly returning in chapter 83, means a lot, hugs… :-* Bilkul bhae, completely agreed… :-* Thank you Boss for finding Sunil mending what Daya sir's sath ho k bhi sath na hona is breaking inside Abhijeet sir, much love… :-* Indeed, Sunil and Abhijeet shares their own unique friendship bond… :))) True, some times to shed some tears is important to start the healing procedure… :-* Yeah yar Boss, that's a very difficult situation for any rape-survivor… :))) Hahahahaha glad knowing Boss you smiled seeing Daya sir made Abhijeet sir late for Bureau, haha, khush raho hamesha yar, tighttt squeezing warth filld hug for you… :-* Yups Boss, that's the time… :)) Thank you sooo very much deary for all your kind appreciating words, truly humbled I am, khush raho hamesha aap, much love to you, hugs… :-* :-* Thanks a lot dear, keep smiling and stay safe, god bless you… :))

Present…
DUO's Home…
Abhijeet's Room…
Flashback…
Peace Meadow Asylum…
OT Area…
At one side, Sunil was rushed inside the OT and on the other side…
Within half an hour, CID team could be seen rushing towards the OT area of the hospital and reaching there, they found another doctor pacing there, looking quite worried hence they directly approached him with…
Abhijeet introduced himself as: Doctor main Abhijeet hoon, Dr. Sunil ka dost, mairi yahan kisi Dr. Samrat sy baat hue thi kuchh daer pehly…?!
Dr. Karan nodded in composed way with: Main Dr. Karan hoon, Dr. Samrat ander OT mein Dr. Sunil ko operate ker rahy hain, unn ka ghaow kafi gehra hai iss liye khoon bohut beh gaya hai, aap log dua krien… (Abhijeet looking hell tensed, looked towards ACP sir, feeling his supportive grip on his shoulder when Dr. Karan glancing over them, asked them in reluctance-filled-confusion as…) Woh Mr. Daya nahin aaye aap logon k sath…?
Vivek glancing over the seniors, slightly shook his head with: Nahin woh hum log Bureau mein thy jb Abhijeet sir ko call aai, Daya sir ghar py hain, unhien nahin ptta kuchh…
Dr. Karan nodded understandingly and deciding to leave the topic, taking out a plastic bag from his lab-coat's pocket, forwarded that towards Abhijeet with: Yeh Dr. Sunil ki cheezien hain, unn ka mobile, wallet, car ki chaabi waghaira…
Abhijeet nodding to him in worry-filled-silence grabbed the bag from the latter, securing it with himself when…
ACP sir asked him in composed tone as: Aap logon ko chakku nahin mila ghaow sy…?
Dr. Karan shook his head with: Nahin sir, shaid hamla kerny wala chakku sath ly gaya lekin Dr. Sunil ny behosh hony sy pehly btaya tha k woh ks taraf bhaaga hai…
ACP sir nodded while making a mind-note of it for the time-being when…
Freddy asked in confused-worry as: Aap logon ko ptta kaisy chala Dr. Sunil py hamly ka…?
Dr. Karan replied as: Humari bhi morning shift thi iss liye aik sath hi off hua humara tou hum log bhi parking ki taraf hi ja rahy thy, Dr. Sunil aagy chaly gaye aur main aur Dr. Samrat aik case discuss ker rahy thy sath mein iss liye hum log thora peichhy thy aur tabhi parking sy humien kisi k cheekh suunai prri aur jb hum bhaag k wahan pohanchy tou hum ny Dr. Sunil ko unn ki car k paas ghayal halaat mein zameen py girry daikha, main turant ward-boys ko lainy chala gaya aur Dr. Samrat unn k paas rukky rahy…
Freddy nodded understandably where ACP sir giving a gratified pat on Dr. Karan's upper-arm, turned his worried gaze towards still switched on OT's bulb while they all kept standing there in scare-filled-hope while praying a lot for Sunil's health and life when finally, around an hour later the OT's bulb finally turned off and soon Dr. Samrat emerged from inside and…
Abhijeet instantly approached him in real worry as: Main Abhijeet hoon Dr. Samrat, mairi baat hue thi aap sy, kaisa hai Sunil ab…?
Dr. Samrat gulping down a silent breath, replied in balanced tone as: Dr. Sunil ki jaan bch gae hai mager abhi woh puri tarhan sy khatry sy bahir nahin hain, iss liye hum unhien ICU room mein shift ker rahy hain…
ACP sir asked him as: Kya hum Sunil ko mil sakty hain…?
Dr. Samrat replied as: Sir woh iss samey baehosh hain, aap log chahien tou bahir sy unhien daikh sakty hain…
Tasha asked him worriedly as: Dr. Sunil theek tou ho jaien gy na doctor…?
Dr. Samrat gulped down a silent breath with: Iss samey kuchh bhi kehna mushkil hai, ghaow bohut gehra hai, js ny kuchh internal organs ko bhi damage kia hai, aur shaid chakku maarny waly ny chakku maar k ghaow mein hi ghooma dia chakku ko js sy blood loss bohut zada hua hai, aap log bs dua krien k kaisy bhi unhien subah tk hosh aa jaye…
And throwing a supportive-encouraging glance at those worried-scared faces, Dr. Samrat left from there with Dr. Karan where ACP sir supportively pressed the still shocked and in-pain Abhijeet's shoulder where…
Abhijeet uttered in pain-filled-rage as: Ager Sunil ko kuchh hua na sir, main Shastri ka bohut bura anjaam kron ga, bohut bura…
ACP sir patted his shoulder consolingly with: Himmet rakho tum Abhijeet aur chinta nahin kro, kuchh nahin ho ga Sunil ko, bahadur bchcha hai woh… (Abhijeet just nodded while roughly wiping off the drops slipped from his eyes in pain where ACP sir added in same soft tone as…) Chalo, Sunil ko daikh laity hain aik baar, phir uss py hamla kerny walon ko bhi tou daikhna hai, hmm…?
Abhijeet nodded, holding both fire and water in his eyes…
ICU Area…
And they left towards the ICU area and from the glass window, looked inside the room Sunil was in, to find him lying there unconscious, with various machines attached with him and he was breathing with the help of Oxygen mask while a nurse was also present there with him…
When…
Freddy asked in anger-filled-pain as: Yeh Shastri aakhir chahta kya hai, pehly society k chhoty masoom bchchon ko nishana bnaya uss rakshas ny, ab Dr. Sunil py jaan-laeva hamla kerwaya, kerna kya chahta hai aakhir woh…?!
ACP sir replied in rage-filled-hurting tone as: Humien kamzor kerna, himmet toorna chahta hai humari, kayar mein samny sy waar kerny ki himmet nahin hai iss liye peith py waar ker raha hai…
And gulping down a moist breath, he turned his face away to hide his moist eyes and for around a minute there remained complete silence there, where they all in their worried-scared hearts, kept praying for Sunil's recovery and healthy-long life…
When feeling quite composed now, ACP sir turned his gaze towards silently standing Abhijeet, whose gaze was fixed at Sunil's face deep silence spread on his own face, and moving forward ACP sir softly pressed his shoulder, bringing him back from his thoughts and…
ACP sir asked him in polite-balanced tone as: Abhijeet, ja k Daya ko ly aao…
Abhijeet cut him instantly while shaking his head in denial with: Nahin sir, pehly aik baar Sunil ko hosh aa jany dien please…?!
ACP sir shook his head with: Abhijeet main keh raha hoon na baita, Daya ko ly aao, jao shabash… (Uttered more to himself as…) Pehly hi ussy iss samey yahan hona chahiye tha lekin khair easey samey mein tumhara yahan rehna bhi zarori tha…
Abhijeet tried to resist as: Lekin sir, woh Sunil ko iss tarhan sy nahin daikh skky ga please…
ACP sir replied him in care-filled tone as: Abhijeet main samajhta hoon baita k inn halaat k chalty Daya already bohut disturbed hai lekin tum bhi samjho k hum uss sy yeh baat chhupa nahin skkien gy…
Abhijeet cut him in urging tone as: Lekin sir main kahan chhupa raha hoon, subah btta dun ga na ussy…
ACP sir gave him a disappointed look with: Tou jb subah bttana hi hai tou ab bttany mein kya problem hai…?
Abhijeet replied while trying to convince him as: Sir aap daikhiye ga, subah tk Sunil ko zaror hosh aa jaye ga, tou Daya ko hum easily sambhal skkien gy…
ACP sir shook his head with: Nahin Abhijeet, subah ussy sambhalna aur zada mushkil ho jaye ga kyun k jb ussy ptta chaly ga k yeh sb aaj shaam mein hua aur humien sb aaj hi ptta lg gaya tha lekin ussy kisi ny kuchh nahin btaya tou woh kitni buri tarhan sy hurt ho ga, andaza hai na tumhien iss baat ka…? (Abhijeet getting quiet turned his gaze away, looking quite helpless where ACP sir's worried voice kept on falling on his ears as…) Aaj-kal already woh itna sensitive ho gaya hai hr baat ko ly ker tou yeh itni brri baat ussy na bttany py tou bhagwan jaany kaisy react kry ga woh, aur yun bhi, Sunil aur Daya, dono k k liye zarori hai k Daya iss samey yahan ho Sunil k paas, iss liye ab tum bhi khud ko dhoka daina bnd kro aur ussy ly ker aao, jao shabash…
Abhijeet nodded understandably now as: Jee sir…
And before he could leave…
ACP sir stopped him in composed way with: Aur Abhijeet…! (Abhijeet stopping in his way, looked at him in question while ACP sir continued in care-filled tone as…) Ussy kuchh bhi bttany sy pehly dinner ker laina tum log, aur Daya ko medicines bhi dy daina, baad mein bohut mushkil ho jaye ga ussy convince kerna… (And receiving an assuring nod in silence from the other side, ACP sir completed in soft tone as…) Aur tum, mairi gaari ly k chaly jao driver k sath, khud drive mtt kerna iss mental condition mein, jao shabash, stay safe…
Abhijeet in silent smile, nodded to him with: Thank you sir…
And throwing a silent glace inside the ICU room, he left from there where…
ACP sir turning into his ACP's avatar, turned towards the juniors with: Vivek, Tasha, tum dono jao aur ja k daikho k Mannu ab bhi apni (In sarcastic tone…) Duty (Angrily…) py hai kya, ager hai tou uthao ussy aur ager ghayeb hai tou dhondo ussy, mujhy kisi bhi haal mein subah ka suraj uggny sy pehly woh CID lock-up mein chahiye, is it clear…?
The two nodded confidently in chorus with: Sir…!
And nodding them back…
ACP sir turned towards Freddy with: Aur Freddy tum Dr. Samrat aur Dr. Karan sy milo, ager woh hospital sy ja chuky hain tou unn sy phone py contact kro aur pouchho unn sy k Sunil ny kya btaya tha k ks taraf bhaaga hai woh chakku maarny wala, aur parking area bhi check kro, ager wahan py koe CCTV camera hai tou uss ki footage bhi check kro… Bahir bhi pouchho logon sy sarak py… (Uttered more to himself as…) Chakku maar k bhaaga hai hrr-brri mein kayar tou hao-bhao normal tou nahin hoon gy uss k, shaid kisi ny kuchh daikha ho… (Turning towards Freddy, completed in meaningful way as…) Koshish kerna k iss sy pehly k Shastri k aadmi pohanchien uss tk, tum pohanch jao, samjhy…?
Freddy nodded confidently and the three left from there the same second in their respective directions where ACP sir left towards the ICU room's door…
ICU Room…
When seeing someone entering in the room the nurse present there tried to stop him but stopped seeing the CID badge flashed at him by the latter, followed by…
ACP sir's calm voice as: Aap doo minute k liye bahir baithien please, main aap ko bula lun ga…
The nurse nodding to him, left the ICU room the same second where ACP sir with slow-silent steps, left towards Sunil and reaching near him, caringly spread hand on his head, with the latter still lying there, unconscious… Glancing over the monitor that was monitoring the latter's heart-rate and other vitals, and was showing them stable though not normal, ACP sir grabbed a seat on the stool placed there beside the bed and turning towards Sunil…
ACP sir smoothly securing his hand in his own, whispered to him softly as: Sunil, bahadur bchchy ho na tum bohut, uss kayar ko jeetny nahin daina tum ny baita, hmm…? (Fighting back the moisture that was threatening to appear both in his eyes and tone, ACP sir tightening his grip on the latter's hand, added in urging tone as…) Hum aik zindagi kho chuky hain Sunil, aik aur khony ki himmet nahin hai hum mein baita, iss liye tum ny apni willpower kamzor nahin perny daini, haan…? (And wiping off the moisture from his eyes that had betrayed him, ACP sir added in composed tone as…) Main ny Abhijeet ko bhaeja hai ghar, Daya ko lany k liye, Abhijeet preshan ho raha tha k Daya tumhien easey daikh k bohut disturb ho jaye ga aur tum jaanty ho na k woh sahi preshan ho raha hai, hmm…? (And he softly placed his hand lovingly on the latter's cheek with…) Aur main jaanta hoon achhy sy k maira yeh bahadur bchcha na khud preshan hota hai aur na hi kisi aur ko zada daer tk preshan rehny daita hai, hai na…?! (And he softly squeezed his hand in soft-encouraging way as…) Iss liye jaldi sy theek ho jao bs tum, main bhi tumhary doctor sy mil ker aata hoon jaldi…
And while standing, ACP sir gave a soft encouraging pat on Sunil's shoulder, and throwing a silent glance at the monitor's readings, he left towards the room's door…
ICU Area…
Seeing ACP sir coming out from the ICU room, the nurse sitting outside on the bench waiting for him, stood up while…
ACP sir turning his attention towards him, asked him in calm-composed tone as: Dr. Samrat ki duty tou off ho gae hue hai tou ab ager Dr. Sunil k barey mein kuchh pouchhna ho tou kn doctor sy milien…?
The nurse replied as: Sir aap Dr. Mayang sy mil lien please, night-shift mein wohi daikh rahy hain Dr. Sunil ko…
ACP sir nodded with: Cabin ks taraf hai unn ka…? (And listening to the directions the latter guided, ACP sir nodded to him with…) Theek hai, thank you, aap ander Dr. Sunil k paas rukien please…
The nurse nodded and left in the ICU room where ACP sir was going to pull out his mobile phone when stopped seeing Freddy returning towards him now and as he approached him…
ACP sir uttered in calm-serious tone as: Main abhi tumhien hi call kerny lgga tha, kuchh ptta chala…?
Freddy nodded with: Jee sir, Dr. Samrat aur Dr. Karan sy baat ho gae hai mairi phone py aur parking area mein CCTV cameras lggy hoye thy jn ki footage mein woh aadmi saaf dikh raha hai js ny Dr. Sunil py hamla kia tha, main ny uss ki tasveer Vivek aur Tasha ko bhaej di hai aur sath mein apny informers ko bhi… Main bs aap ko update kerny aaya tha, phir main bhi nikl raha tha hospital k ird-gird pouchhny…
ACP sir nodded appreciatively as: Hmm, good work… (A small smile appeared on Freddy's face where ACP sir continued thoughtfully as…) Freddy tum aas-paas pouchhny kuchh daer tk jana, filhal tum yahin rukko, mujhy drr hai Sunil py dobara hamla bhi ho sakta hai… (Freddy looked at him in shock-filled-seriousness listening to ACP sir completing as…) Main iss k doctor sy mil k aata hoon, phir tum nikl jana further investigation k liye aur aik baar Abhijeet aur Daya aa jaien, tou phir main bhi tum logon ko join ker lun ga, theek hai…?
Freddy nodded assuredly with: Jee sir, theek hai bilkul, main tb tk yahin sy apny informers sy updates ly laita hoon…
ACP sir nodded in agreement and left from there towards Dr. Mayang's cabin while Freddy grabbed a seat on the bench sidewise pulling out his mobile to dial to his informers…
DUO's Home…
In the hospital, that all was happening and on the other side, a car halt brought Abhijeet out from his disturbed thoughts to find DUO's home in-front of his eyes…
Inhaling a long deep breath to compose himself Abhijeet finally opened the passenger side door, moving out from the car he was going to close the car-door when stopped in his way, seeing ACP sir's driver still present on the driving-seat though the car's engine was turned off, so…
Abhijeet asked him in calm-composed tone as: Tum bhi ander aa jao Haimant, hum thori daer mein jaien gy wapis hospital…
Haimant tried to deny as: Nahin sir, main yahin intezar ker laita hoon, aap…
Abhijeet cut him in soft-composed tone as: Haimant ander aa jao, yehi intezar tum ander ghar mein baith ker ker laina, aa jao…
Haimant nodded reluctantly and then moved out from the car, seeing Abhijeet closing the passenger side door and they both left towards the home's main-door…
Lounge…
Entering inside the home and as usual finding the home dip in complete dark, Abhijeet switching on the lounge's lights turned towards the reluctant figure and…
Abhijeet casually pointed towards the couches with: Tum baitho please, main Daya ko daikh lun…
Haimant nodded slightly and left towards the couches where Abhijeet left towards Daya's room…
Daya's Room…
Giving a soft knock on the closed room-door, Abhijeet opening the door, entered in the room while closing the door on his back sidewise switching on the room's light to find Daya was lying there on the bed on his stomach, with his head buried under the pillow, though Abhijeet knew it well that he was not sleeping but was just trying to escape the cruel world that had snatched away so much from him…
When leaving near him, Abhijeet sat beside him and…
Abhijeet softly placed his hand on the latter's shoulder with: Daya…! (And receiving only silence from the other end, Abhijeet added in same composed tone as…) Main jaanta hoon Daya k tum jaag rahy ho… (Again no response from the other end so Abhijeet trying his best to keep his voice calm and balanced, added as…) Achha utho aur change ker lo tum phir humien Sunil k hospital jana hai…
And this time finally he received some reply from the other end though there was no change in the latter's posture with…
Daya asked him in dry-vacant tone as: Kyun…?
Abhijeet after a momentary pause, replied in composed tone as: Woh aaj session k liye nahin aa skky ga tou…
Daya cut him uninterestedly as: Mujhy nahin jana, aik din session nahin ho ga tou kuchh ho nahin jaye ga mujhy…
Abhijeet replied him in strict tone now as: Daya main keh raha hoon na k humein jana hai tou matlab jana hai… (And while trying to remove his arms from the pillow placed on his head, he added as…) Uth jao foren ab tum, bahir Haimant bhi wait ker raha hai, dinner ker k nikalna hai humien foren, utho…
Daya, who, as a result of Abhijeet's efforts was sitting there now, asked him confusingly as: Tum Haimant k sath aaye ho ghar…?
Abhijeet nodded while struggling to make-up the reply as: Haan woh khud drive kerny ka mnn nahin ho raha tha tou sir ny kaha Haimant k sath aa jaon ghar…
Daya feeling something fishy in his tone, looked towards the wall-clock to find it striking 07:39 pm so he turned his gaze towards the latter again with: Aur tum itni jaldi kaisy aa gaye aaj, usually tou dus gyaran bjjy tk aaty ho…?
Abhijeet spreading hand on his face, replied as: Woh Sunil ki call aa gae thi Bureau mein tou jaldi nikl aaya aaj… (And he stood up to avoid any further queries of the latter with…) Aur ab tum apny yeh baqi k sawal baad mein kerna, filhal uth jao aur jaldi sy change ker k bahir aao, main tb tk dinner ki taiyari daikhta hoon, jaldi kro shabash…
And he left from there where Daya kept sitting there for few moments, seeing him leaving the room and then he too stood up to change his clothes without any further argument because of feeling something fishy from Abhijeet's behavior…
Dining Area…
Soon the three could be seen present on the dining table, taking dinner quietly and then after Daya took his medicines, they all left the home towards the hospital…
Peace Meadow Asylum…
Within half an hour, their journey to the hospital ended in the same deep silence in which it had started and after thanking Haimant, Abhijeet left towards the hospital, taking Daya along…
Where coming in the hospital, Daya, who was going to hurry towards Sunil's cabin to avoid those people roaming there and the gazes that were randomly falling over him, stopped feeling a soft grip on his elbow, making him turn his restless-confused gaze towards the latter where…
Abhijeet said in composed tone as: Sunil apny cabin mein nahin hai Daya… (Pointing towards the other side, added as…) Iss taraf jana hai hum ny…
Daya, who had already started feeling anxious and worried now with the continuous strange behavior of the latter, asked him in fear-filled-worry as: Abhi, Sunil theek tou hai na…?
Abhijeet gulping down a silent breath, nodded in composed way with: Haan, theek hai woh, aao chalien…
And he left from there towards the ICU section, followed be a really restless-nervous Daya…
ICU Area…
When as soon as they reached the ICU section, Daya halted in his path in shock-filled-fear and feeling him stopping in his way, Abhijeet too stopped and turned towards him and gulped down a silent breath seeing Daya's scared gaze was fixed at the name of the section and moving forward…
Abhijeet softly grabbed his upper-arm with: Daya…!
Jerking the latter out from his fear-filled thoughts and…
Daya turned his scared gaze towards the latter with: Hum ICU section mein kyun aaye hain Abhi, hum tou Sunil sy milny aaye hain na tou yahan kyun laye ho tum mujhy…?
Abhijeet tried softly with: Daya tum chalo, main sb bttata hoon tumhien…
And grabbing his arm, he was going to turn to step ahead when…
Daya with jerk freed his arm with: Nahin, jo tum ny baad mein bttana hai woh yahin btta doo… (Abhijeet looked at him in pain as fear was clearly reflecting through his eyes and body-language where he asked him as…) Tum ny kaha tha k Sunil theek hai tou yahan kyun laye ho tum mujhy…?
Abhijeet tried again as: Daya tum chalo tou, main…
Daya shook his head while cutting him in anger-filled-pain-and-fear with his teeth tightly pressed against each other with: Main ny kaha na main aagy nahin jaon ga… (Forwarded his hand towards the latter with…) Mo-mobile doo apna… (Seeing Abhijeet standing there looking at the latter helplessly, Daya urged again as…) Abhijeet please, mobile doo mujhy…
Abhijeet gulping down a silent breath, grabbed him the mobile and as he had expected, soon the mobile, placed inside the plastic bag and still present in his coat's pocket started ringing, making Daya's nervous-scared gaze instantly shifted towards him, then at his coat-pocket and then again at him, with only fear increasing in his eyes where…
Abhijeet grabbing back his mobile from the latter's sweaty palm, cut the call and turning towards the latter, told him in composed tone as: Sunil ka mobile mairy paas hai… (Daya kept looking at him with fixed scared gaze, not uttering a single word now where easily understanding his fear, Abhijeet deliberately did not pull out Sunil's mobile, knowing there was blood on his mobile that could make Daya more anxious, hence instead he intentionally lied to him, sincerely hoping and praying for his lie to soon turn into a truth with…) Daya relax, Sunil stable hai aur doctors subha tk ussy regular room mein bhi shift ker dien gy, relax…
Daya's barely audible-little shaking voice escaped his mouth as: Kahan hai Sunil…?
Abhijeet replied him in soft-comforting tone as: Wahin ja rahy hain hum Daya, aao…
And giving a supportive pat on his upper-arm, he started leaving towards Sunil's room and this time, without any delay, Daya followed him…
When stopping in-front of Sunil's room, Abhijeet turned his gaze to meet the latter's fear-filled gaze and giving a supportive-assuring pressure on his upper-arm, Abhijeet grabbing the door-handle, opened the room-door and entered in the room to find ACP sir already present there while the nurse was missing now…
When noticing Daya hadn't followed him inside the room, Abhijeet turned towards the opened room-door to find Daya nervously standing there, looking scared to step forward, Abhijeet called him softly, gaining his attention, who looked at him like was looking for some sort of assurance and…
Abhijeet nodded to him in soft-assuring way as: Ander aa jao Daya, aao shabash…
Daya gulping down a nervous-scared breath, stepped forward and as soon as had taken just a step or two inside the room, he stopped right there in shock-filled-fear, with his gaze fixed at Sunil's face, noticing his closed eyes and Oxygen mask present on his face, while drip-bottles were attached with his both arms, sending a transparent and a red fluid in his body respectively…
Sunil's Room…
Daya was too shocked to react anything when a supportive-encouraging pressure on his shoulder brought him back from his frozen phase and without looking in that direction, Daya gulping down a scared-pain-filled breath, just nodded to the latter and with slow steps started leaving towards Sunil's bed, still not completely composed and mentally present to acknowledge ACP sir's presence in the room, who could very well understand his mental condition…
When reaching near Sunil's bed, Daya sat in-front of him on the bed while carefully securing his hand in his care-filled-soft grip and placing his other hand on the latter's cheek…
Daya tried to utter as: Ss… (And not listening to his own voice, he tried again while fighting back the moisture with…) Ss-Sunil…! (And not receiving any response from the other side, he tried more hardly this time, urging more desperately now as…) Sunil…!
And a soft touch on his head made Daya jump back on his place and he looked in the direction with red-aching-blurry gaze to find his fatherly figure standing there where…
ACP sir said in consoling-soft tone as: Baita, doctors ny Sunil ko sedatives diye hain, woh medicines k asar sy soo raha hai, subah tk uth jaye ga, chinta mtt kro, hmm…?!
Daya wiping off the evidence of his aching heart from his face, though still sitting there securing Sunil's hand in his own, asked in barely audible tone as: Kya-kya hua hai iss ko…? (And seeing ACP sir unintentionally instantly hid his eyes as a reply of that query, Daya's gaze automatically moved towards his brother, who too was looking equally restless and in trouble of how to tell him the answer when understanding something, Daya turning his gaze away, nodded to himself while looking at his deary friend's face in real pain-filled-agony as…) Shastri…!
Both Abhijeet and ACP sir exchanged a glance in pain-filled-silence and then thinking to give Daya some time to let him completely absorb the news, ACP sir giving a supportive pressure on his shoulder, left from there, signaling Abhijeet to follow, who obeyed…
Where Daya kept sitting there in deep hurting silence with a scene replaying on the screen of his brain as…
Flashback within a Flashback…
DUO's Home…
Daya's Room…
It was around 10:30 of the night and both brothers were present in their respective rooms with Daya sitting there on his bed in half-lying posture while looking far in space and having deep silence on his face, when some strange sound stirred his thoughts' process, bringing him back in the present world and looking around in confusion, he turned his gaze to his side, to find Abhijeet's mobile, that was on vibration mode, was the source of that strange voice… Without bothering to check the callee, Daya turned his gaze towards the room-door to find no trace of his brother around as from last two, three nights, Abhijeet was sleeping in Daya's room because of Daya's really disturbed mental state who sometimes used to cry even in his sleep too…
Daya, who was sincerely hoping that strange noise to stop soon because of it making him frustrated and annoyed, or might-be it was not the mobile's vibration but something else, finally gave up when the mobile kept on vibrating from last around three-to-four minutes, hence leaning to his side, Daya grabbed the mobile placed screen down on Abhijeet's pillow, and as soon as the mobile screen became visible to him, Daya paused at his place with mixed emption of anger, pain, hate, shock, pretty much having the idea about who could be the callee, seeing the Private Number flashing on the mobile screen…
Inhaling deeply while trying to compose his emotions, Daya pressed few buttons on the screen, hence at the same time attending the call on speaker and recording it, as was instructed by Anirudh to everyone to record every call, if or when, anyone from the other party ever try to contact to anyone of them…
And as soon as Daya attended the call…
The well-recognized voice of evil named Shastri fell on his eardrums as: Tum mein tou abhi sy bohut gharoor aa gaya hai Abhijeet, call tk attend kerny mein itny nakhry, abhi tou addalat ka faisla aana baqi hai bchchy… (And Shastri chuckled arrogantly with Daya's hands already closed in tight fists when Shastri's voice filled with anger now, rose again as…) Kisi qisem ki khush-fehmi mein mtt rehna tum Abhijeet, kyun k main tumhari inn mamoli adalaton k faislon ko nahin maanta… (Continued in chewing hate-filled tone as…) Uss paap ki nishani ki zindagi ka faisla tou main khud kron ga, apni adalat mein, jahan ka judge bhi main khud hoon ga, wakeel bhi main aur gawah aur perith [victim] bhi main khud hi, chhoron ga nahin main ussy, aur main, Shastri Raizada tum sy wada kerta hoon Abhijeet k tb main uss ehsan-framosh py koe daya nahin kron ga, wada raha yeh tum sy… (Daya's face was suddenly completely blank now when after few moments' pause, Shastri's little amused voice rose as…) Itna snnata kyun hai rey…?! (Daya's facial expressions turned hardened where Shastri's smirk voice rose again as…) Lgta hai call tou main ny Abhijeet ko milai thi lekin bhagwan ki daya sy attend mairy pyary jamai babu ny ker li… (A shadow of pain-filled-hate passed Daya's face while anger started coming in Shastri's voice now as…) Nahin tou woh mun-phatt itni daer tk tou apna mun bnd nahin rakh sakta tha… (Daya just gulped down an enraged breath where Shastri's hate-filled voice rose again as…) Shaid bhagwan bhi maira yeh paigham khud tum tk pohanchana chahta tha iss liye call tum ny attend ki, tou ab mairi baat kaan khol k suuno tum Daya… Mairi tumhary iss mun-boley priwar sy koe dushmani nahin hai, mairi dushmani tum sy hai kyun k tum sy dosti ki mairi sb koshishien tum ny mitti mein mila dien iss liye main ny bhi ab Amavasya k naam ki qasam khai hai k jb tk main tumhien puri tarhan sy brrbaad nahin ker dun ga, main chaen sy nahin baitho'n ga… (An agony-filled-stern smile came on Daya's face with a salty pearl slipping down from the corner of his eye while Shastri's poisonous voice kept on falling on his eardrums as…) Tumhary paas ab sirf doo hi options hain Daya, ya tou khud ko apny iss mun-boley priwar sy allag ker lo aur ya phir apny kandhy itny mazboot ker lo k unn per inn ki arththio'n ka boujh utha skko… (Daya's heart skipped a beat in extreme fear-filled-shock where Shastri's voice kept on falling on his ears as…) Kyun k ager tum yunhi dheett bnny rahy tou bohut jald aik kaehar bn k tooto'n ga main tumhary iss mun-boley priwar py, achhy sy jaanta jo hoon main k inn ki kitni perwah hai tumhien… (Added while giving stress on his words as…) Sach kahon tou tum jaisa mahaan insan main ny apni puri zindagi mein nahin daikha Daya, js ny apny mun-boley priwar k peichhy, apny khud k priwar ki blli dy di, tumhien mairi baiti ki dard-bhari cheekhien suunai nahin daitien kya, haan…? Apny hathon py apni olad k khoon k chhentty nazar nahin aaty tumhien Daya…? (Daya tightly bit on his own hand to choke his loud sobs and screams with two steams of salty water rapidly washing his face where Shastri hate-filled voice continued reaching to him as…) Mairi baiti sy olad nahin chahiye thi na tumhien Daya, apni baiti ko tou main tumhien itni aasani sy bhoolany nahin dun ga lekin uss ki olad ka nishan tk tumhari yaado'n sy mitta dun ga main kyun k tum jaisa apni khud ki olad ka qatil, phir uss olad ki yaad tk deserve nahin kerta… Bohut bura anjaam kron ga main tumhara, tum ny abhi Shastri Raizada ki dushmani daikhi nahin hai Daya, main…
And Daya jumped back on his place in agony-filled-fear and turned his completely washed face to his side to find his brother standing there, with water still dripping from his hair, where Abhijeet snatching away the mobile from his hand, cut the line and sitting in-front of the latter, without a word, smoothly secured him in a tight-assuring embrace, with Daya bursting out loudly in tears, mumbling things Abhijeet and all who care for him, had for thousands times told him were not true, but Daya's guilt was just too big and his wound was still so fresh for him to believe on their truth, instead of what his conscious kept on telling him…
Flashback within a Flashback Ended…
And the salty watered rain pouring down from Daya's eyes broke his trail of thoughts and wiping off the moisture from his face…
Daya looking at the blurred face of his lifelong friend, whispered to him in extreme pain as: I am sorry Sunil, I am sorry, mairy karen tumhary sath yeh, I am sor…
And suddenly standing, with his hand tightly pressed on his mouth, Daya rushed inside the attached bathroom, while locking himself inside with the two pairs of aching gaze, quietly followed him in silence-filled-hurt…
