Present…

DUO's Home…

Abhijeet's Room…

Entering in the room, Sunil directly made his way towards the study-table to find Daya was still asleep, deepening the worry lines on his forehead and…

Sunil worriedly spreading hand on his face, grabbed the seat in-front of the computer screen while talking to himself as: Iss ko tou ghanta derh pehly hi uth jana chahiye tha, yeh ab tk soo raha hai… (Added to himself looking quite worried as…) Iss ki tabiyt tou theek hai na…?! Paanch-dus minute aur daikhta…

And his sentence got cut with his now ringing mobile and…

Sunil without looking at the caller-ID, with his focus still being Daya, attended the call with: Hello…?!

To hear…

Abhijeet's little low-pitched voice, asking him, sounding little confused as: Sunil…? Kya hua, sb theek hai…?! Tensed sound ker rahy ho tum…

Sunil, completely ignoring the queries and while second-guessing himself now, asked the latter as: Abhijeet tumhien kuchh yaad hai k main ny subah Daya ko ghalati sy full dose tou nahin dy di medicines ki…?

Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Nahin, half hi thi, main ny bhi daikhi thi, kyun, kya hua…?

Sunil replied him in a little worried-helpless way as: Woh ab tk soo raha hai…

Abhijeet replied in a little-confused-little-disappointed way as: Haan tou main ny tumhien btaya tou tha subah k woh daer sy sooya hai, pehly hum baatie'n kerty rahy phir woh room ki deewar k peichhy pr gaya, kafi mushkil sy aur dantt khany k baad sooya hai woh subah…

Sunil, suddenly feeling really relieved now, exhaled a big relaxed breath with: Oh haan, mairy tou zehen sy hi nikl gaya tha yeh sb bilkul…

Resulting…

Abhijeet teased him softly as: Hmm samajh sakta hoon, dost sy milny ki excitement mein baqi sb kahan yaad rehna hai iss samey tumhien…

Sunil chuckled in little-sheepish-little-pleasant way with: Achha ab zada mairi taang khaenchany ki zarorat nahin hai tumhien bilkul, bl k yeh btao k call kyun ki thi tum ny aur yeh tum itna dheery dheery kyun bol rahy ho, sb theek hai…?

Abhijeet having a disappointed smile on his face now, replied as: Hmm, theek hai sb, aur koe aur na suun ly tabhi dheery bol raha hoon, Sachin bhi hai iss samey Bureau mein aur cameras bhi jagah jagah hain yahan iss liye record-room mein aa k baat ker raha hoon tum sy, yahan cameras nahin hain…

Sunil nodded understandably with: Ahaan, got it, aur call ki kyun hai…?

Abhijeet replied in small sweet smile as: Good luck wish kerny k liye, all the best mister doctor…

Bringing a deep smile on Sunil's face and…

Sunil replied him smilingly as: Thank you dost, gonna need it… (Abhijeet chuckled softly in reply while Sunil throwing another relieved look on the desktop, told the latter as…) Aur ab aik achhi khaber bhi suun lo tum k bhai uth gaya hai tumhara, fresh hony jany wala hai, iss liye ab main bhi ja raha hoon jaldi sy lunch ki taiyari daikhny, bye…

But before he could cut the line…

Abhijeet hurriedly stopped him with: Aaram sy kerna lunch ki taiyari, woh lamba jaye ga…

Sunil, with the mobile again attached with his ear, asked little confusingly as: Matlab…?

Abhijeet replied as: Subah jitna woh low feel ker raha tha, shower nahin lia uss ny, kapry uss k already hanged hain bathroom mein, iss liye I strongly think k shower ly k aaye ga woh ab…

Sunil nodded agreeably with: Hmm, chances tou hain iss baat k kafi…

Abhijeet hummed while adding as: Achha chalo, main ab bahir jata hoon, kafi daer ho gae hai mujhy record-room mein, do let me know how did it go, Okay…?

Sunil replied in a little mischievous way as: Ager koe case waghaira na aaya Bureau mein, tb bhi mairy free minutes waste kro'n kya…?

Abhijeet getting his leg-pulling really well, fumed grumpily with: Shut up…

And he ended the call with a Hunh, listening to Sunil's tease-filled-mischeivous laugh from the other side, while Sunil really enjoyed teasing Abhijeet like that, knowing really well that if Abhijeet would remain present in the Bureau during next two three hours, then there were high chances of him switching on Daya's room feed on his mobile and seeing all by himself…

When throwing another glance on the now empty room, Sunil stood up and taking his mobile with himself, he left towards the kitchen to prepare lunch…

Getting freed from the kitchen, Sunil returned in Abhijeet's room to find Daya's room still empty, so he soon got busy in removing the ash of the smoke from the floor near the chair, knowing well if Abhijeet would see that, then it would not end well for Sunil…

Soon getting freed from the cleaning, and washing his hands, Sunil returned in the room grabbing an ash-tray from the lounge and grabbed his seat in front of the computer screen sidewise lighting another smoke…

While in the meantime, Daya too had returned in the room and could now be seen sitting on his usual sitting place while wrapping his arms around his legs and his face buried in his knees…

When after finishing his smoke…

Sunil stubbing the smoke in the ash-tray, stood up while talking to himself as: Okay then, time to switch into doctor mode now…

And nodding to himself he soon left the room, making his way towards the kitchen and soon returned while grabbing a tray in his hands…

Daya's Room…

Reaching at Daya's room door, Sunil inhaled a deep breath to compose himself completely and then giving an approving nod to himself, he finally slowly opened the room door and looked inside to find Daya in the same place and posture he had seen him earlier…

Hence entering in the room but still standing near the now closed room door Sunil softly clearing his throat called the latter in balanced tone, making Daya slowly moved back in confusion and looked around in the search of the source of that unfamiliar voice and as soon as he spotted that calmly standing figure in the room, he instantly moved back with jerk in scare and before he could react in any way…

Sunil uttered in soft-balanced tone as: Relax Daya, relax, main doctor dost hoon, hum mil chukky hain aaj doo baar, relax… (And placing the tray down, Sunil stood back again and looked towards Daya who had shrank more in the corner, though was still looking at him with mixed emotions of scare, agitation and uneasiness while Sunil completed in same caring-balanced tone as…) Lunch laya hoon tumhary liye, ker laina, hmm…?!

And giving him a small-soft-comforting smile, Sunil left from there without any word, with the room door got closed on his back…

Abhijeet's Room…

Where coming out from Daya's room, Sunil directly made his way inside Abhijeet's room to find Daya wiping sweat from his face was busy doing his breathing exercise, still present in the same place he was sitting earlier…

Sunil too sat there on the chair, patiently waiting for Daya's response, giving him due time to process the new change, sidewise trying to device some new strategy in case Daya would deny to move, and hence leaving that lunch tray remain lying there to slowly turn cold…

Though thankfully Sunil didn't need any new strategy as in Daya's room, after few minutes of battle in his mind, Daya, once again glancing over the closed room door, slowly stood up sidewise spreading hand on his face and wiping his palms with his trousers, and once again looked at the room door, which remain closed, giving him some reassurance, hence slowly taking small steps forward, Daya reached near where the tray was placed and carefully grabbing it, he hurried back to his previous sitting place, because of feeling safe and comfortable there…

And Daya's that act brought a big soothing smile on Sunil's face, when soon a beep on his mobile grabbed his attention…

Somewhere already knowing whose message it could be, with deepening smile Sunil checked his mobile to find himself right as it was Abhijeet's message, to congratulate him on the successful execution of his first step in Sunil's direct interaction with Daya, considering Daya was now calmly busy in having his lunch, indicating that he was not worried or afraid for his meal being mixed with something questionable, indirectly showing that somewhere Sunil too had Daya's trust on him…

Where after replying to Abhijeet, Sunil in same small soothing smile throwing another glance at Daya, placed his mobile back on the table and inhaling a deep soothing breath, leaned back on the chair and remained busy in planning out his next step…

Sunil was busy with his thoughts when a little reluctant call of Suno grabbed his attention and he looked towards the computer screen to find Daya had taken his meal and now the tray was again placed where Sunil had placed it earlier, bringing a light-disappointed smile on Sunil's face and while standing, Sunil soon left towards Daya's room…

Daya's Room…

Carefully opening Daya's room door, Sunil entered in the room and looked towards Daya who too was very much vigilant about who was coming from the opened room door this time, and hence got disappointed seeing him there again instead of the person he was looking for, deepening Sunil's disappointed smile and stepping little away from the now closed room door, Sunil grabbed the tray and was going to leave when thinking something, he looked towards Daya again who was cuddled in the corner, though through his body-language Sunil got it well that Daya was quite alert from his side, hence…

Sunil softly cleared his throat while asking the latter in trying-to-sound-casual voice as: Daya tum bula rahy thy mujhy…?

Daya without looking at him, replied little heatedly as: Tumhien nahin bulaya tha main ny…

Sunil hiding his chuckle, asked again as: Tou kya apny thory thory dost ko bula…

Daya cut him while standing with jerk and looked at him in annoyance-filled-anger as: Main bchcha nahin hoon, samjhy tum…?!

Sunil asked him, pretending to be confused as: Kya matlab…? Main ny kb kaha k tum bchchy ho…?

Daya replied him in irritation-filled-tease-and-anger as: Tou phir yeh kya hai, thora thora dost, doctor dost, main koe bchcha hoon jo mujhy easey naam bt'taty ho tum log, apny asal naam kyun nahin bt'taty ho tum log mujhy, haan…?

Sunil replied him in complete calm way as: Tumhien pura vishvas hai kya k hum ny apny asal naam nahin btaye kabhi tumhien…? (Daya went quiet the same moment and just turned his face away where Sunil thinking something, inhaled deeply while adding as…) Woh ab tumhien apna asal naam kyun nahin btta raha yeh tou tumhien wohi btta sakta hai, main ny iss liye nahin btaya kyun k tum ny mujh sy pouchha hi nahin maira naam…

Daya gulping down a silent breath, looked at him firmly with: Tou ab pouchh laita hoon, kya naam hai tumhara…?

Sunil looking deep in his eyes, replied in a balanced way as: Anil…

Daya didn't know why but got a little taken aback listening to that name and couldn't help, uttering in little shock as: Kya…?!

Sunil repeated himself calmly, this time in a little loud pitch as: Anil, Dr. Anil…

Daya kept looking at him for few moments in silence and then asked him as: Tum sach mein doctor ho…? (And receiving a calm nod in return, he asked again as…) Ks cheez k doctor…?

Sunil kept looking at him in silence for few moments and then replied him in composed-balanced way as: Psychiatrist hoon main…

Daya's eyes widened a little in shocked-confusion while he whispered to himself as: Psychiatrist…?!

And he looked towards the latter again, who was looking at him calmly and then without saying him anything, moving back, he sat on the corner, cuddling himself, and getting the silent request, Sunil turned to leave when…

Daya's silent voice stopped him from behind as: Woh kahan hai…?

Sunil turned towards him again with: Job py… (Daya looked at him in silence while he elaborated his answer as…) Woh job kerta hai Daya, pehly tum iss samey dawai k asar sy soo rahy hoty thy, iss liye tumhien ptta nahin chalta tha k woh ghar py nahin hota dopahar k samey, ab kyun k tumhari condition mein bohut improvement hai aur iss liye main ny tumhari subah ki medicines ki dose half and dopahar ki medicine bnd ker di hai, iss liye tum iss samey jaag rahy ho aur tumhien ptta chl raha hai k woh ghar py nahin hai… (And seeing Daya had already turned his gaze away, thinking something, Sunil completed as…) Ab sy dopahar mein, main hi hua kro'n ga ghar py Daya…

Daya looked at him with jerk, though remained quiet where giving him a soft smile…

Sunil told him as: Kuchh bhi chahiye ho tou bula laina please… (And he completed in light-friendly tone as…) After-all now we are on first name basis…

And winking at him Sunil completely left the room, leaving Daya in complete silence behind…

Abhijeet's Room…

After getting freed from the kitchen, Sunil returned in Abhijeet's room and grabbing a seat in front of the computer screen, casually started playing with one of the paper-weights present on the table, sidewise observing Daya who was now pacing in the room, looking quite conflicted and restless…

Few minutes passed like that when Sunil's mobile ringtone grabbed his attention and seeing Abhijeet's name flashing on the screen…

Sunil attended the call with deepening smile as: Koe kaam shaam bhi ker rahy ho ya bs apny bhai py hi nazar rkh k baithy hoye ho aaj tum…?

Abhijeet replied in smiley-teasing way as: Kaam shaam tou sari zindagi chalty rehty hain… (Deliberately stressed with…) Dr. Anil… (Bringing a light chuckle from Sunil's side while he completed as…) Lekin socha k aap ny jo apna yeh naam-karan kia hai, iss py pehly aap ko bad'dhai tou dy dun…

Sunil replied smilingly as: Bah'dhai k liye dhanevad sir jee, lekin naam-karan main ny sirf apna hi nahin aap ka bhi ker dia hai…

Abhijeet asked little confusingly as: Maira…?

Sunil hummed with: Hmm, ager Daya pouchhta hai tou tumhara naam Abhir hai ab sy…

Abhijeet nodded with: Aur iss ki koe khaas wajah…?

Sunil nodded in reply with: Bilkul… (Added while sounding serious as…) Daya theek keh raha hai Abhijeet, woh bchcha nahin hai aur ab woh cheezo'n ko samajhny lgga hai, he needs answers, so it's better to give him some, leaving the rest for him to find out himself… (And he took a momentary pause, to allow Abhijeet to say something if he wanted to, but listening to only an alert and understanding silence from the other side, Sunil continued as…) Iss liye main ny naam bhi humary naamo'n sy milty juulty hi sochy hain…

Abhijeet cut him in light smile as: And it looks like k uss k dimagh mein thori hulchul hue hai Anil naam sy aur koe khaas pasand nahin aaya ussy yeh naam…

Sunil chuckled while throwing a smiley glance at his friend with: Hmm, tb sy bs room mein parade hi krry ja raha tha, ab finally thankfully meditation k liye baith gaya hai… (Abhijeet nodded in relaxed smile while Sunil completed as…) Wasey for the safe side humary aadhaar card bnwa laina inn naamo'n sy, koe ptta nahin tumhary bhai k dimagh ka, saboot hi na maang ly naam ka…

Abhijeet chuckled lightly with: Hmm theek hai, ho jaye ga yeh kaam aaj hi, idea achha hai wasey tumhara… (And with some background voices started reaching to Sunil's ears too now, Abhijeet concluded the call with…) Chalo yar, baad mein baad hoti hai, bye…

And the call got ended from both sides, where placing the mobile aside, Sunil throwing a silent-smiley glance at Daya, smoothly leaned back on the chair in relaxed posture and started looking far in space, still wearing a light smile on his face when the sooth of his heart slowly took him from the present to the time where…

Mamta Foundation Orphanage…

A Classroom…

It was around quarter past 01 of the noon and completing her Physics lecture early today, Ma'am Eva had just left the class few minutes early today, resulting Sunil instantly got busy in availing the golden opportunity, making…

Daya turned towards him in confusion as: Tum abhi sy bag kyun bnd ker rahy ho Sunil, abhi Music ka period rehta hai…

Sunil nodded still busy in collecting his things from the desk with: Issi liye tou bhaag raha hoon…

Daya uttered in confusion as: Kya…?!

Sunil closing the zip of his shoulder bag, grabbed it while turning towards the latter with: Bhaag raha hoon class sy, iss sy pehly k sir pakkao aa jaien humien pkkany… (Daya just gave him a highly disappointed look while Sunil lightly hit his leg with Daya's leg, because he was sitting on the isle side seat while Sunil was sitting towards the wall side, while asking him as…) Htto, raasta doo, jaldi kro, sir aa jaien gy…

Daya, in no mood of doing that favor, kept sitting there blocking his way with: Pagal ho gaye ho kya, aaj quiz bhi hai Music ka, baith jao chup ker k tum, bewakoof…

Sunil gave him a real Kha Jany Wali look while chewing out the words with: Oye duniya k sb sy aqalmnd insan, khud baith k doo tum primary standard waly MCQs wala quiz, mujhy maaf rakho… (And hitting his leg on the latter's leg little hardly this time, completed as…) Aur ab jagah doo jaldi, nahin tou main tumhary oppar sy ttaap k chala jaon ga ab…

Daya gave him a teasing smile with: Try ker k daikh lo, taang khinch k na, yahin py neechy phaink dun ga tumhien…

Sunil looked at him furiously with: Bhae masla kya… (And the same time listening to the next period's bell ringing, Sunil hurriedly turned towards the latter in tension with…) Daya, mairy sb sy achhy dost, mairy pyary dost, jany doo please mujhy, bell ho gae hai, sir aa jaien gy…

Daya shook his head stubbornly with: Koe nahin, main akela nahin ly raha Music ki boring class, mairy sath baith k lo tum bhi…

Sunil really feeling like killing him now, uttered in chewing angry tone as: Aby tou tum bhi apna bag bnd ker k nikl lo na mairy sath, mujhy…

Daya cut him teasingly with: Haan ta k agli class humari Raghuvendra sir khud lien, class bunk kerny ki wajah sy…

Sunil winked at him in careless way as: Jo drr gaya samjho mrr gaya… (Daya just shook his head disappointedly while Sunil added in grumpy-annoyed tone as…) Aur sir ko bhi tou sochna chahiye na, arrey bhae, subjects purry ho gaye hain tou last period free dy dien, lekin nahin, utha k Music ka subject introduce kerwa dia humary batch mein… (Looked at Daya like was giving him some new information with…) Board mein final paper bhi nahin hona iss ka koe, fazool mein masoom bchcho'n py extra burden daala hua hai, oppar sy sir bhi koe easey pkkao… (And his sentence remained incomplete with…) Styanas… (Daya too followed Sunil's gaze that was fixed towards the classroom's door to find their sir coming inside, where Sunil thumping back his bag hardly on the chair, looked towards Daya heatedly with…) Iss ka baadla lun ga main tum sy, chhoro'n ga nahin tumhien main, fazool bdtameez insan…

And Sunil sat there looking really off-mood while Daya was looking completely satisfied for having a company to bear the torture for next around forty-five minutes…

When soon their Class Representative (CR) started distributing the MCQs test sheets amoung the students and suddenly getting an idea…

Daya hurriedly turned towards his grumpy friend, while telling him excitedly though in audible whispered tone as: Aik idea aaya hai…

Sunil replied burningly in audible whisper as: Apny qatal hony ka…?

Daya gave him a disappointed look with: Woh bhi aa jaye ga, filhal iss test ko interesting bn'nany ka idea aaya hai…

Sunil made an annoyed face with: Ho hi na jaye yeh class ya iss ka kuchh bhi interesting, hunh…

Daya gave him a disappointed-heated look with: Aby suun tou lo tum idea aik baar, aiwien bolny lggy hoye ho…

Sunil gave him an annoyed-heated look with: Bkko…?!

Daya, ignoring his ill-mannered buddy, replied with twinkling eyes, excitedly as: Bet…! (Sunil couldn't help the confused-little-clueless look making Daya elaborate in same excited way as…) Bet lggaty hain k aaj k iss test mein hum dono mein sb sy kmm number mairy aaie'n gy…

Sunil replied him teasingly as: Soch lo perhaku mian, Raghuvendra sir k samny hazri bhi lg sakti hai tumhari iss bet k chakker mein…

Daya replied him in mischeivous way while qouting the latter as: Jo drr gaya, samjho mrr gaya…

Sunil chuckled in reply while nodding to him with thumbs-up sign, and soon after receiving their test-sheets, the two got busy in making sure that they would win the bet…

After fifteen minutes, the now answered tests got collected by their teacher and both Daya and Sunil were sitting there with their fingers-crossed while their teacher was now busy returning the tests after marking them…

When soon Daya's name got called by the teacher and he hurriedly left towards the desk and as soon as he received his now marked test paper, his face beamed and hurriedly heading back to his seat…

Daya proudly presented his marked test paper to Sunil with: Zeeero…!

Sunil nearly snatched his test from his hand and his face fell looking at that big fat zero as if it wasn't written there with red ball-point's ink but with the blood of poor Sunil's dreams where…

Sunil thumping the test on the desk, turned towards the latter who was still smiling ear-to-ear with: Zada khush hony ki zarorat nahin hai, abhi maira test paper wapis milna baqi hai…

Daya shurgged in careless relaxed way as: Zada sy zada tie hi ho jaye ga, ager tumhary bhi zero aa gaye tou… (Completed with shining eyes with…) Aur ager tumhary zero na aaye tou matlab main bet jeet gaya…

Sunil gave him a grumpy-teasing look with: Zada sapny daikhny ki bhi zarorat nahin hai, mairy test mein aik hidden weapon bhi…

And he stopped listening to his name got called by their teacher and nearly pushing Daya out of his way, Sunil darted towards the teacher's desk, and as soon as he received his marked test paper, he instantly wanted to dance or start jumping in joy, where Daya was standing there on their desk, confused and now little worried too…

When hurrying back towards him…

Sunil with loads of joy and pleasure, forwarded his marked test paper towards the confused-worried soul with: Minus two, ha ha…

And he chuckled majestically while…

Daya had already snatched the paper from his hand with: MCQs test mein minus two kaisy aa sakty hain kisi k…?!

And then his gaze fell on the "Hidden Weapon", Sunil had mentioned to find that Sunil had deliberately wrongly spelled his own name as So-kneel instead of Sunil, making Daya turned his shocked gaze towards the latter where…

Sunil winked at him proudly with: I take bets very seriously, my friend…

Bringing a chuckle from Daya's side which soon turned into a pleasant laugh, with Sunil's laugh also got merged with his' and…

Sunil said while closing his bag now with: Wasey aaj k test mein sach mein bohut mzza aaya hai, I wonder tumhien pehly yeh idea kyun nahin aaya…

And the same time, CR appoaching them, told them that the two were asked to meet their music teacher in his office as busy in their own talks and masti, they didn't realize when did the bell ring and the teacher leave…

When after the CR left after conveying them the teacher's message…

Daya turned towards Sunil little teasingly while replying his earlier query with: Iss wajah sy nahin aaya pehly easa idea…

Sunil chuckled with: Fiker not dost… (Added while stressing with widening smile as…) Kyun k jo drr gaya…

Daya completed it happily as: Woh mrr gaya…

And the two high-fived while letting out a lively carefree laugh and left towards their Music teacher's office in relax casual talks…

Music Teacher's Office…

Reaching in-front of their teacher's office, both buddies first tried to wear some serious or rather sad expressions on their faces for failing the class test that badly and then giving Okay nod to each other, they both reached at the office's door and after giving a light knock on the already opened room-door, asked for permission to enter and after getting it, they entered inside and standing in-front of their teacher's desk…

Sunil asked in trying to sound little sad voice as: Sir aap ny bulaya tha humien…?

M.T., whose complete attention was already shifted towards the two now, replied in calm tone as: Aap dono ko shaid yeh tou achhy sy ptta hai k Music ka paper board k exams mein nahin ho ga lekin shaid yeh nahin ptta k yahan sy board exams k liye addmissions sirf unn students k jaie'n gy jo yahan ka pre-board exam pass krie'n gy, aur pre-board exam mein Music ka paper bhi ho ga… (The two kept standing there while looking down though Sunil couldn't hide his little annoyed expressions after listening to that bad news but little did he know that the worst news was on its way with their teacher adding while stressing on his words as…) Aur aap dono ko shaid iss baat ka tou bilkul bhi idea nahin hai k Music ka paper baqi subjects ki tarhan nahin hai, kyun k iss mein students ko hr test, quiz aur paper mein individually 60 percent score kerna zarori hai, aik test fail, matlab pura subject fail, aur jn students ka subject fail ho ga, unhie'n next year yeh subject dobara laina ho ga… (They both looked at their teacher with jerk, looking really shocked and then looked towards each other like What The Hell, where ignoring their ready to cry faces, the teacher continued as…) Lekin mujhy iss baat ka andaza bohut achhy sy hai k aap dono ko aaj ka pura test aata tha, because in order to get every answer wrong, you need to know the right answer… (Which was correct obviously as they both could as usual ace their test but a bet was a bet while their teacher added as…) Iss liye main ny apny paas record mein aap dono ko aaj k test mein pass show kia hai… (The both looked at him in surprise while he added little teasingly as…) Aur aap dono aaj ka test wapis milny py jitny excited thy uss sy aap k fellows ko bhi koe shak nahin ho ga k aap ny test pass kia hai, fail nahin… (They both had already moved their heads down now while trying to hide their embarassed smiles now while the teacher concluded as…) Lekin easa adventure aaj first aur last time tolerate kia hai main ny, dobara easi herket hue tou aap dono sy Raghuvendra sir khud baat krie'n gy, is it clear now…?

They both nodded while mumbling an apology though in their hearts they were feeling really happy and soon they left the office with their teacher's permission…

Corridor…

And as soon as they came out from the office…

Sunil exhaled a big happy sigh while heading towards their dorm with: Bch gaye…

Daya seconded him with: Sahi baat hai warna iss bet k chakker mein dobara yeh subject perhna perta…

Sunil instantly protested as: Aiwien perhna perta, main tou Raghuvendra sir k office k bahir dharny py baith jata k… (And thinking for a moment, he shared his demand for his never happening protest as…) Bnd Kro, Bnd Kro, Masoom Bchcho'n Py Attiyachar Bnd Kro…

Daya laughed whole-heartedly with: Aur tum bhi ab apna yeh drama bnd kro… (Sunil just made a face while Daya completed as…) Aur bohut zada chances hain k sir ny bhi sirf humien drrany k liye easa kaha hai, warna sach mein easa kuchh nahin hai…

Sunil nodded in approval with: Hmm, but looks like we will never know, kyun k ab Raghuvendra sir sy tou iss baat ki confirmation lainy sy rahy hum… (And suddenly getting an idea, asked the latter excitedly as…) Next test mein dobara…

Daya cut him with: Subject repeat wali baat sir ny bhaly hi yunhi kahi ho shaid lekin Raghuvendra sir sy class lgny wali baat yunhi nahin kahi, iss liye insan bn jao bs ab tum…

Sunil protested with: Main khaali kyun insan bn jaon, tum bhi insan bn jao, aur yun bhi bhoolo mtt, tumhara idea tha yeh…

Daya looked at him teasingly with: Main bn gaya hoon insan…

Sunil instantly commented as: Lg tou nahin rahy… (Daya shot him an angry glare, which, for obvious reasons Sunil remained unbothered about while declaring quite sadly now as…) Wasey yeh samaaj bohut hi nirdaie ho gaya hai yar, bchcho'n ki chhotti chhotti masoom khushio'n ka dushman ho gaya hai yeh zalim sansaar, very sad and very bad…

Daya really shaking his head in highly disappointed way, gave a light smack on the latter's still sadly shaking head with: Tum na doctor bn'nny ki jagah actor bn'nny ka socho, woh bhi tragedy hero, tumhari persona…

But…

Sunil, sidewise stopping massaging his head, cut him burningly with: Bkwas bnd kro aur apny muft mashwary apny paas rakho, hunh… (And suddenly realizing, told the latter like was reminding him as…) Aur by the way, main aaj ki bet jeet gaya hoon…

Daya cut him in relaxed way while adding teasingly as: Hmm congratulations on that rare victory…

Sunil fumed in anger with: Shut up… (Making Daya chuckle pleasantly while Sunil continuing the topic, declared as…) Yeh bet main jeeta hoon issi liye as a consequency tumhien ab mairi aik baat maan'nani prry gi…

Daya nodded in agreement with: Yep, I know our betting rules… (And lifting his both eyeborws, asked the latter as…) Bolo, kya baat mnwani hai tumhien mujh sy…?

Sunil instantly told him in straight way as: Ab sy main isle seat py baitha kro'n ga aur tum window side py…

Daya, getting his intentions really well, hiding his chuckle, nodded with: Done… (Bringing a broad relaxed smile on Sunil's face while soon turned into shocked-anger, listening to Daya adding as…) Aur jb tumhara naam aaye ga attendance mein tou bol dun ga k Sunil bunk maar raha hai…

Sunil getting angry, gave a light punch on the latter's arm with: Tum mairy dost ho k dushman…?!

Daya winked at him mischeivously with: Dushman-numa-dost…

Making Sunil imitating him grumpily in his frustration, bringing disappointed-pleasant laugh from Daya's side where Sunil preferred to keep on grumbling, sidewise entering in their dorm now…

When a strange sound brought Sunil back from that soothing memory and he looked towards the computer screen to find Daya standing there near the wall and had just moments' ago, out of extreme frustration, had threw the notepad on the wall…

A silent smile formed on Sunil's face and still looking at his friend…

Sunil said in soft tone as: Uss rooz bet jeetny k liye apny naam k spelling change ker diye thy main ny aur aaj dosti wapis jeetny k liye apna naam change ker dia hai… (And completed with greath faith and determination as…) Aur jaisy uss rooz maira idea kaam ker gaya tha aur main jeet gaya tha, wasey hi mujhy pura vishvas hai k iss baar bhi maira idea kaam ker jaye ga, aur iss baar hum jeet jaie'n gy dost…

And he chuckled softly while lightly spreading his hand on the computer screen… And giving himself few minutes, he stood up and soon left the room, where Daya could be seen, already sitting near the wall now, looking both frustrated and helpless…
