CHAPTER 30: THE EFFECTS AND EFFORTS

Satya while nodding his head in disappointment took a deep breath and exclaimed as...

Satya (in a firm tone): ACP Pradyuman ne baataya...wo dost hai mera...5 din pehale mila tha yahan hospital mai...tab baatao baatao mai ussne hi baataya Abhijeet ke CID mai join kar ne ka reason...uss shock se hi mai bahar nahi aaya uss mai yeh jhadka mere samne aagaya 2 din pehale...tere file se...jiss mai dusri report ke saath yeh report bhi de diya tum ne...galati se...

Dev looked at Satya in a distressed mode hearing that as he could remember seeing Abhijeet's report in his cabin...

Satya (in a firm tone): thoda mehnat kar ne ke baad patha chala ki yeh 3-4 hafte se chal raha hai...mujhe tho laga tha ki wo chup ke treatment karwana chathe hai...issliye aise...magar nahi...tum log ne koi treatment bhi shurur nahi kiya hai...mera sar phata jaa raha tha...issliye socha ki tum se puch lu ki kya chal raha hai...magar yeh nahi socha tha ki Abhijeet aise ek decision...

Satya closed his eyes in pain and frustration while Dev exclaimed as...

Dev (in a teary tone): maine usse bahot samjha ne ke khoshsis kiya...magar wo nahi maan raha hai sir...keha raha hai ki 5 percent chance mai wo risk nahi le na chatha...uss samai mai wo apna parivaar ko settle karega...samjh mai nahi aaraha hai ki kya karu...kaise usse maut ke muh mai jaane se rokhu...

Satya (in frustration): agar wo seedhi tareeke se surgery ke liye nahi manega tho hume koi aur tareeka soch na padhega...samjhe...

Dev (in tension): matlab sir...kya aap sab ko sach tho nahi...

Satya (in a firm tone): agar wo kar na hotha tho 2 din pehale jab mujhe sach patha chala tab hi kar de tha...haan...wo usska personal hai...uss mai mai interfere nahi karuga...at the same time...mai apne sab se acche...aur talented doctor ko aise mar ne bhi nahi saktha...wo bhi aise...usse surgery ke liye maan na hi padhega...aur maine soch liya ki usse kaise maanana hai...

Dev (in tension): kaise sir...aap kya kar ne wale hai...

Satya (in a firm tone): mai nahi...hum kar ne wale hai...

Dev (in confusion): matlab sir?

After sometimes...

Inside the ICU...

ACP and other officers left for the bureau as a case reported while Bhoomika, Naina and Abhir entered the ICU silently without creating any sound while looking at Duo who seems to be in deep sleep...

Abhijeet was sleeping in the same sitting posture while keeping his head near Daya's shoulder while Daya have slept in the same posture while keeping his hand over his brother's head...

Bhoomika moved towards her sons while looking at their sleeping faces with a teary smile followed by Abhir and Naina...

She while continued to look at their faces in nostalgia ruffled Daya's hair and planted a soft kiss on his forehead gently without disturbing his sleep...

Daya smiled broadly in the sleep feeling his mother's love seeing which Bhoomika smiled in tears...

She while fondling her son's face gently moved towards Abhijeet and planted a soft kiss on his forehead gently in the same manner...

Abhijeet smiled slightly in the sleep at first which disappeared all of sudden while a tear drop slipped from his eyes following that...

Bhoomika felt a storm rising in her heart seeing the tears coming from her son's eyes that too in the sleep...

She while griping the pain raised in her heart cleared the tears in Abhijeet's eyes gently and fondled his face softly...

Naina and Abhir who were noticing everything exchanged a glance in tears while Daya started to frown and ultimately opened his eyes in a jerk and looked at his brother in a haphazard way with...

Daya (in tension): Mac...

He stopped abruptly seeing his mother who was fondling his sleeping brother's face with a teary eyes...

Daya who became worried seeing that while trying to gasp the situation exclaimed as...

Daya (in a low tone): Mumma...

Bhoomika who was fondling Abhijeet's face till then jerked a bit and looked at Daya who was looking at them in a worry with...

Bhoomika (in a stammering tone): Guddu...tum...uth gaye...

Saying this Bhoomika straightened herself while Naina and Abhir who were looking at Abhijeet till then turned towards Daya in a jerk...

Daya while looking at his brother who was frowning slightly in the sleep exclaimed as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): haan...wo...Macron...kuch...aur aap...bhi aise...

Bhoomika (in a teary tone): bura sapna dekha tha...

Daya looked at Bhoomika for a second in pain and nodded in positive while averting his gaze...

Bhoomika felt a pang in her heart hearing that as she could remember her conversation with Abhir regarding Daya's nightmares and insomnia...

She was already broken hearing those painful things regarding her son's struggle and now witnessing those in the present was giving her more pain...

Daya who didn't want to stir the matter more and also he was worried for his brother asked out as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): aap...aap aise ro kyu rahe ho...Macron ko dekh ke...

Bhoomika who didn't get what to say started to clear her eyes exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a managed tone): kuch nahi beta...bas wo...tho aise hi aanko mai aansu...

Daya (interrupted in a managed tone as): Macron ne kuch jyada pareshan hi kar diya hai kya inn 2 hafto mai...

Bhoomika looked at Daya in a jerk hearing that while Abhir made a frustrated expression with...

Abhir (in an annoyed tone): kuch nahi bhaishab...bahot jyada...dimaag kharab kar ke rakh diya tere bhai ne tho...

Naina (in an annoyed tone): pareshan kiya hoga aap ko...aap ke saath hi tho pure raat hothe the...hume tho apne shakal tak nahi dikhaya innone...

Daya (in confusion): shakal tak nahi dikhaya matlab...

Naina (in a tired yet sad tone): haan bhaiya...2 hafte se bhai ko ek baar nhi dekha hum log...wo ghar hi nahi aaye the bhaiya...naa ghar aaye...naa humara phone uthaye...bas CID bureau se yahan aapke paas hospital aate hai...aur phir yahan se wahan...wo bhi agar hospital mai hum hothe tho nahi dikha de the the...literally 2 hafte baad aaj hi dekh rahe hai hum log bhai ko...kyu Mumma...

Daya who became literally numb hearing everything looked at his mother with a same bewildered reaction who turned to the other side to hide her tears...

Seeing his mother's antics Daya felt a pang in his heart...he looked at his brother in pain who was still frowning in the sleep...

He while trying to gulp down his emotions started to ruffle his brother's hair softly with a welled up eyes...

A calmness raised in Abhijeet's face with that...following which the frowns disappeared and adjusted himself cozily in the deep sleep...

Bhoomika looked at Duo in tears seeing everything which scratched her old scar out of which she exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a teary tone): I am sorry Guddu...mai tumara bhai ko kabhi nahi samal payi baccha...sirf inn 2 hafto mai hi nahi...18 saalo se...18 saalo isse koi bhi dard ya takleef se nahi baccha paayi isse...yeh khud ko dard de tha raha...aur mai bas dekh the rahi baccha...kuch bhi nahi kar paayi...bahot khoshsis ki lekin...

Daya (interrupted in a pacifying tone as): Mumma...please...yeh aap kya...Mumma...aap tho jaan the hai apne iss pagal bete ko...har baat ke liye isse bas khud ko hi blame kar na hotha...guilty feel kar na hotha hai...bachpan se aise hi tho hai...

Daya while looking at his brother in complete helplessness continued to exclaim as...

Daya (in a sad tone): uss din bhi dekha tha na aap ne kaise wo khud ko blame kar raha tha...aur ab bhi wahi kar raha hai...samjh mai nahi aaraha hai ki yeh khud ko blame kar ne ka aur humesha guilty feel kar ne ka bhoot kahan se sawar hogaya hai isske dimaak mai...

Bhoomika...Abhir and Naina exchanged a glance in tears and sadness hearing that as they could remember Atharv's harsh words towards Abhijeet...

Daya who felt something odd seeing their expression asked out deliberately as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): kya hua...aap log aise...kuch...kuch hua tha hai kya?...haan...

They all again exchanged a glance but in tension as they didn't get whether to disclose the painful happening to Daya or not...

Because already there was a big gap prevailing between Daya and Atharv...if they disclose this matter then it might definitely cause a rift between them...

But was it good to hide the biggest rift within Atharv and Abhijeet's relation from Daya?...

No...it seems to be a bad idea because to bring Abhijeet out of the ocean of guilt...it was important to clear the mist between Atharv and Abhijeet...

And that could only happen...that was possible only with Daya's interference...as he was the only person who could handle Abhijeet...

Thinking all these things in their mind they three looked at each other and then Bhoomika was about to say something but was interrupted by Dev's voice who entered the ICU while exclaiming as...

Dev (in a polite tone): Daya...tum abhi tak jage ho...haan...mujhe tho laga ki tum so gaye hoge...

Daya who was looking at others expecting the answer turned towards Dev hearing his words with...

Daya (in a stammering tone): wo tho mai...

Dev (in a firm tone): nahi...nahi Daya...isske upar no baatein...itna exertion bikul bhi theek nahi hai tumare liye...mai sedation de raha hu...chup chap soo jao...theek hai...

Daya was about to protest but Dev without paying any heed to Daya started to inject the sedation leaving him annoyed...

Daya (in an annoyed tone): kya Dev...bol raha tha na ki...

Dev (in a firm tone): Daya...sunna nahi kya kaha maine...haan...aanke bandh karo...so jao...

Daya made a extra annoyed face and closed his eyes in the same anger...

Soon Daya drifted into the sleep still making the annoyed face seeing which Dev smiled in disappointment with...

Dev (in a soft tone): yeh Daya bhi na...dekhiye na kaise muh banna ke so raha hai...(while looking at sleeping Abhijeet)...bikul apne bhai ke tara...

Everyone exchanged a glance hearing that while Dev getting himself out of the emotional rush exclaimed as...

Dev (in a polite tone): Maa...ab tho Daya shaam ko hi hosh mai aayega...uth ne baad isse juice wagera kuch pila dijiye...aur 2 din tak liquid food hi de na padhega...usske baad thoda thoda solid food de sakthe hai...theek hai...

Bhoomika nodded slightly while Dev who noticed Abhijeet frowning a bit while moving slightly as if in some kind of discomfort exclaimed as...

Dev (in a managed tone): lag tha hai Abhijeet ka gardan dukh raha hai...isse wahan couch paye leta de hai kya...

Abhir (in a managed tone): haan...kyu nahi...magar yeh uth gaya tho...

Dev while glancing at the dull yet exhausted face exclaimed as...

Dev (in a managed tone): mujhe nahi lag tha ki yeh uthega...itne dino baad soya hai...tho...(after a pause)...chalo wahan leta hi de the hai...

Abhir nodded in positive and moved towards Abhijeet...then Dev and Abhir lifted Abhijeet gently and made him lie on the couch cautiously without disturbing his sleep...

Abhijeet frowned slightly and moved a bit but didn't wake up as Dev expected because of the extremely exhausted body and mind as well...

Dev then covered Abhijeet with a blanket and looked at his tired face for a second in pain...

He while trying to gulp down his emotions moved out of the ICU while glancing at his sleeping friends once...

In the evening...

Inside the ICU...

Bhoomika could be seen sitting beside Daya while ruffling his hair to comfort him with a worried face...

Yes...worried face...she was worried...seeing Daya continuously getting restless in the sleep in some short intervals...

If she ruffled his hair...he was getting calm for some time...but within a hour he was again getting restless as if getting trapped in something dreadful...

She got to know from Abhir and Dev that Daya usually gets trapped in the dreadful dream and gets restless like this if he sleeps under sedation...

She couldn't tolerate the pain of knowing new...new...painful things regarding her son...

How much her son was suffering...panic attacks...nightmares...insomnia...what not...that too all alone for these many years...

No...she wouldn't leave him alone anymore...she wouldn't let him suffer from these anymore...

While Bhoomika was thinking all these Daya's eyes flickered and he opened his eyes in a jerk as usual...

Seeing Daya waking up Bhoomika while hiding her emotion and continuing to ruffle his hair smiled softly with...

Bhoomika (in a soft tone): uth gaya mera baccha...

Daya smiled broadly for a second but his smile vanished upon feeling the absence of his brother near him...

He turned towards his side in a jerk and turned more tensed and restless confirming his absence beside him...

Bhoomika who understood the reason for Daya's restlessness was about to say something but Daya himself turned towards his mother with...

Daya (in tension): Mumma...Macron...Macron...kahan hai...yehi tho...

Bhoomika (interrupted in a pacifying tone as): tera bhai wahan hai Guddu...dekho...couch paye...

Daya turned towards the couch side...that is beside his bed where he could see his brother still sleeping while cuddling the blanket...

A deep sigh of relief came out of Daya's mouth seeing that as his mind wandered to some silly extents in seconds of not seeing his brother around who was actually there...just a few steps away from him...

Bhoomika looked at Daya in a emotional way seeing his tension while Daya trying to manage his emotions exclaimed as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): yeh...yeh abhi tak so raha hai...

Bhoomika (in a soft tone): haan baccha...bahot gehre needh mai...aise maine Abu ko kabhi sothe nahi dekha...pehale baar aise...aise...so raha hai...

Daya looked at his brother with a pang in a heart hearing that while Bhoomika cleared her eyes with...

Bhoomika (in a managed tone): accha...baccha tum aaram se baitho...mai tumare liye juice leke aati hu..

Saying this Bhoomika was about to move but Daya who remembered something else all of sudden stopped her with...

Daya (in tension): Mumma...wo Naina...usse sach...mera matlab hai ki...uss din tho ussne sab dekh liya...unn dono ke baatein bhi suna...tho kya ussne kuch pucha...ya aap logo ne kuch...

Bhoomika (in a low tone): wo itna sab horahi thi tho ussne kuch bhi nahi pucha...magar hum ne baataya usse...aadha sach...matlab jo ghar ke baki sab jaan the hai...utna baataya...tumare...Kishore aur mere bich jo ristha tha uss baare mai...aur Abu ke Mumma ka raaz...wo sab baataya...magar usske aur Atharv ke risthey ka sach waise hi reha ne de diya...socha ki kyu usse bhi takleef de...

Daya who was looking at Bhoomika in a emotional manner exclaimed after a pause as...

Daya (in a soft tone): accha kiya Mumma...accha hai ki usse kuch nahi baataya aap log ne...mai bhi yehi soch raha tha...(in pain)...uss gathiya aadmi ke bacche hone se jyada badh kismat kuch hoyi nhi saktha...aur wo dard Naina ko kabhi nahi mili chahiye Mumma...kabhi nahi...

Bhoomika who felt a sharp pain in her heart hearing those words nodded in tears while pressing Daya's shoulder with...

Bhoomika (in a teary tone): tum...tum bhi uss janwar ke baare mai mat soch Guddu...wo tere nafrat ka bhi layak nahi hai baccha...issliye usske khayl apne dimaag se haata de...bas apne baare mai...apne bhai behen ke baare mai...soch...hmm...

Daya nodded in positive while Bhoomika moved towards the side table to take the juice while clearing her eyes...

Here Daya too cleared his eyes and shifted his gaze towards his sleeping brother and started to look at him in pain remembering his brother's guilty outburst a few hours before...

Abhijeet who was under the sound sleep till then started to frown and move here and there slightly...

After flickering his eye lashes for a long time he opened his eyes and slightly looked around in confusion as if trying to gasp the surroundings...

But upon realizing the surrounding his eyes widened in tension and he got up in a force all of sudden as if remembering something...

The forceful action obviously caused a sharp raise in his headache which made him hold his head firmly while a mild mourn escaped his mouth...

Daya who was noticing everything became tensed in a second and out of worry he asked out as...

Daya (in tension): Macron...kya hua...

Bhoomika who was taking the juice jerked hearing that low mourn followed by Daya's tensed voice turned towards him...

Seeing him sitting while holding his head she rushed towards Abhijeet and held him by shoulder with...

Bhoomika (in tension): kya hua baccha...haan...aise kyu...

Abhijeet removed his hand from the forehead immediately hearing his mother and brother's tensed words...

He then while trying to gulp down the pain and mask his facial expression with a normal one tried to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): kuch nahi...kuch nahi...bas...achanak utha tho...aise...

Bhoomika (in tension): baccha tum...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): I am fine Mumma...relax...

Daya (in tension): kya fine...haan...aur aise achanak kyu uthe tum...yahan kya bomb phaat gaya tha...haan...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): yaar...wo...achanak realize hua ki mai...itne...itne der tak so gaya...tho ek tension jaisa...hogaya tha...issliye aise uth gaya...

Daya and Bhoomika made a disappointed face while Abhijeet who couldn't tolerate the intensity of the headache any more made a excuse to escape the scene as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): mai...mai...wash room hoke aata hu...

Saying this he got up slowly while tightening his fist as if trying not to mis balance for which his fate helped and body supported...

While thanking his mind internally for the little achievement he started to move towards the rest room in a unsteady yet slow steps while trying the best to not stir his brother and mother's suspicion...

After sometimes...

Abhijeet came out of the rest room while wiping his face with the towel and while composing himself much...

He could see his brother and sister were busy talking over some random things while their mother was doing something near the side table...

He felt like this was the best chance to escape the scene so that he could avoid any direct conversation with them especially with his mother and sister with whom he didn't even had a face to face talk for a past few weeks...

He was feeling a great hesitation in his heart to face them and built a conversation with them...but why?...he didn't know...

Maybe the guilt in his heart was still in the scratching mode even after hearing his brother's words...

Obviously his heart has a little change of feelings hearing his brother's heart felt words...but still...still his heart was not able to come out of the guilty phase...

Maybe it needs some more space and time to understand and realize the things his brother conveyed...

He while eyeing over his brother, sister and mother was about to move out silently but his eye caught something...

He stopped abruptly seeing Bhoomika filling a plate with Dal...sabji...roti and chawl...

Thinking it to be for Daya...Abhijeet moved towards Bhoomika in tension and exclaimed out as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): Rock star ko yeh khana nahi de sakte hai Mumma...

Bhoomika looked at Abhijeet in a jerk while Daya and Naina who were actually eyeing over Abhijeet by just pretending to be busy in talk exchanged a naughty glance...

Bhoomika who gasped Abhijeet's words was about to say something but Daya who planned to eat up his brother's mind asked out as...

Daya (in fake confusion): kyu...kyu nahi kha saktha mai...haan...

Abhijeet (in a soft tone): kyuki tumare gaav abhi bare nahi hai...upar se abhi abhi uthe ho coma se...tho tum ab yeh sab nahi kha sakthe...2 din baad...

Daya (interrupted in a stubborn tone as): nahi...mujhe yehi kha ne ka mann hai...mai jarur yehi khauga...

Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): areee...yeh kya zid hai...mai keha raha hu na...tum nahi kha sakthe...matlab nahi kha sakthe...

Daya (in a casual tone): sorry...mai yehi khauga...Mumma...de na wo saare khana...zor ke bhook laga hai...

Abhijeet who was utterly puzzled seeing his brother's antics turned towards Bhoomika with...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): nahi...Mumma...aap isske bakwas mat sunn na...agar issko bhook lagi hai tho aap issko juice jaise kuch...

Naina (interrupted in a teasing tone as): areee...Mumma...bhai ko tho aap yaad hai...mujhe tho laga ki...

Abhijeet (in a stern tone): Sweety...tum...

Naina (interrupted in a dramatic tone as): aapko mai bhi yaad hu...wah...wah...kya baat hai bhai...matlab aapke ardas wapas aagaya hai...

Abhijeet was about to glare at Naina but he couldn't...he made a tired face unintentionally understanding his sister's taunt...

He while sighing deeply and nodding his head in disappointment exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): mai...Dev ko hi bula tha hu...wahi samjha dega aap logo ko...

Saying this he was about to move out but stopped hearing Bhoomika saying as...

Bhoomika (in a soft tone): yeh Guddu ke liye nahi hai Abu...

Abhijeet frowned and looked at Bhoomika in a haphazard way while Daya exclaimed as...

Daya (in a casual tone): manwa tho maine hi tha...lekin mere liye nahi...tumare liye...

Abhijeet (in confusion): mere liye...magar kyu...

Naina (in tease): haan...wo kuch nahi bas...wo khane ko chot laga hai...surgery karwa do usska...

Daya and Bhoomika chuckled out hearing that while Abhijeet who literally couldn't digest the worst joke unintentionally uttered as...

Abhijeet (in an irritated tone): yeh joke tha...

Naina (in a casual tone): kyu...aapko accha nahi laga...

Abhijeet made an extra annoyed face and was about to say something but restricted himself with...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): kaam hai...nikal tha hu mai...

Saying this he was about to move again but Daya and Naina simultaneously exclaimed as...

Daya and Naina (simultaneously): khana khaye bina kahan jaa rahe ho...

Abhijeet made a frustrated expression and turned towards them and started to utter in a flow as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): mujhe khana nahi chahiye...kyuki maine tho already...

He stopped abruptly realizing that he couldn't give his usual silly excuse to them as he slept the whole day...

While Abhijeet was realizing this Daya...Bhoomika and Naina who already guessed his answer completed his words as...

Daya, Naina and Bhoomika (simultaneously): khana kha liya hai...hai na...

Abhijeet made a embarrassed expression hearing that while Daya asked out as...

Daya (in a teasing tone): kab khaye the...sapne mai...haan...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): wo...wo...tho mai...

Bhoomika while making a disappointed expression held Abhijeet's hand and pulled him with...

Bhoomika (in a firm tone): chalo...aao...khana khane...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): lekin Mumma...mujhe yeh...mai yeh nahi kha saktha...matlab yeh kitna heavy khana hai...aap tho jaan the ho na ki mai...mai yeh sab nahi kha tha...phir bhi aap...

Bhoomika made him sit on the couch forcefully and while taking the food exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a firm tone): haan...haan...nahi kha the...maloom hai mujhe...aur mai tume wo salads aur wo kya...haan...protein shakes hi khane bhi de thi...agar tum at least wahi kha rahe hothe tho...magar tum tho hawa kha ke jee rahe ho na 2 hafto se...

Abhijeet (in a defending tone): aise kuch nahi hai...maine khana...

Bhoomika (in a stern tone): jhooth bol ne ke khoshsis bhi mat kar na...samjhe...aur yeh halat banna ke rakha hai tum ne khud ka...haan...dekh kitne pathale hogaye ho tum...aise lag raha hai jaise Somalia mai reha hai aaye ho 2 hafte...lag bak 10 kg lose kar liya tum ne...

Abhijeet who couldn't get what to say just lowered his gaze and tried to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): aise nahi hai Mumma...

Bhoomika (in a stern tone): aisa hi hai...aur ab yeh 2 hafto mai tume jo 10 kg lose kiya hai...usse restore kar ne ke liye tho heavy khana hi de na padhega...wo bhi bahot jyada...

Abhijeet made a tired expression and was about to say something but Bhoomika continued as...

Bhoomika (in a firm tone): dekho...bahot hogaya tere wo salads...aur protein shakes ka...tum wo sab tho ab bhool hi jao...ab se tum wahi khaoge jo mai tume khilaugi...samjhe...

Abhijeet (in a defending tone): lekin Mumma...usski koi jaruraat nahi hai...mai...

Bhoomika who was in the stubborn mode didn't pay any heed to Abhijeet...she just forwarded the food near his mouth with...

Bhoomika (in a firm tone): chalo...muh kholo apna...

Abhijeet who understood that Bhoomika was in full on stubborn mode gave up as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): accha...theek hai...dijiye...mai...mai kha tha hu...

Bhoomika (in a firm tone): kyu...mai tume khana nahi kila sakthi...haan...

Abhijeet (immediately): aise...aise...nahi hai Mumma...aap Rock star ko bhi tho...

Daya (interrupted in a casual tone as): mujhe Mumma ne juice pila diya hai already...issliye tum khao...theek hai...

Abhijeet made a restless face hearing that seeing which Bhoomika asked out as...

Bhoomika (in a teary tone): apne Mumma ke haatho se khane ke liye itne kyu soch rahe ho tum...haan...ab Mumma se itne naraz ho ki ab Mumma ke haath se khana bhi nahi khaoge tum...haan...

Abhijeet (in pain): yeh aap kya bol rahe ho Mumma...mai aap se naraz kyu hojauga...(in a low tone)...naraz tho aap ko mujh se hona chahiye...magar aap tho...

Bhoomika (in a soft tone): bina baat ke naraz kyu hojau mai...haan...agar tum ne kuch galat kiya hotha tho mai naraz hothi na...magar mere bacche ne tho kuch galat kiya hi nahi...

Abhijeet (in a teary tone): galati nahi ki...seriously Mumma...

Bhoomika (in a soft tone): haan...seriously...mere baccha ne koi galati nahi kiya hai...ussne tho bas sab ke bhala chaha tha...aur usske liye khud ke saath jo galati huyi usse chupa diya tha...bas...manna ki aise baatein chupa na galat hai...magar...kissike bhala chaha na...wo kabhi galat nahi hosakthi hai na baccha...

Bhoomika fondled Abhijeet softly who was looking at her with a teary eyes and exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a teary tone): mujhe patha hai ki mere bache ke dil kitna saaf hai...usska dil itna saaf hai ki wo kissko bhi dard mai nahi dekh saktha...chahe wo insaan usske jaan hi le ne khoshsis kyu naa kiya ho...aur agar koi aise dil ko galat kaha na tho wo insaan ke hi galat hai...mere baccha nahi...mere baccha iss duniya ke sab se accha beta...bhai...potha...dost...sab kuch hai...sab mai best hai...sab se best hai...samjhe...issliye kabarthar jo mere bacche ko galat kaha tho...samjhe...

Abhijeet who was hearing everything with a teary eyes couldn't hold up his emotions beyond that as his mother's words pierced his wounded heart deep and deeper...

He hugged his mother tightly while shedding silent tears and started to cry bitterly...

Bhoomika hugged him tightly while shedding tears and planted a soft kiss over his forehead while Daya and Naina looked at Abhijeet in tears...

After a long gap Bhoomika separated Abhijeet from the hug while clearing her tears and started to clear his eyes with...

Bhoomika (in a stammering tone): bas...bas...mera baccha...bahot hogaya...ab se...no more rona dona...no more guilt...pareshani...samjhe...sab kuch yehi khatam...hmmm...

Abhijeet looked at her in a emotional way who took the plate again in her hand with...

Bhoomika (in a managed tone): aur ab no more baatein bhi...chalo muh kholo...khana khao...aao...

Abhijeet while scratching his head and while making a hesitant face exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in hesitation): Mumma...yehi khana hai kya...matlab itne heavy...

Bhoomika (in a firm tone): maine kaha muh kholo...

Abhijeet made a helpless face while Daya and Naina who were enjoying Bhoomika's wrath exclaimed as...

Daya and Naina (simultaneously): haan...haan...muh kholo...

Abhijeet while looking at his siblings with a pointed gaze accepted the food and started to chew it with a grumpy face...

Bhoomika (in a stern tone): muh mat banno...theek se khao...

Abhijeet nodded slightly and started to eat properly while Daya and Naina chuckled out...

After eating 3-4 bites Abhijeet held his stomach and raised his hand with...

Abhijeet (in a tired tone): bas...bas Mumma...pedh baar gaya mera...isske upar nahi hoga...

Bhoomika (in a stern tone): aise kaise baar jaayega pedh...haan...wo bhi itne jaldi...chup chap muh kholo...

Bhoomika fed him the next bite forcefully while Abhijeet started to eat it with...

Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): aise tho mai motta hojauga Mumma...

Bhoomika (in a casual tone): haan...tho hojao...mera baccha tho motta ho ke bhi accha hi lagega...bikul Raj kumar ke tara...

Daya (in tease): haan...haan...accha hai...accha hai...banna do isse...(stressing)...Motte Raja...

Daya chuckled out on his own comment while Naina who started to laugh hearing that while exclaiming as...

Naina (while laughing): motte Raja...my god...bahot badiya...matlab...soch ke bhi has aarahi hai...hahaha...

Saying this she started to laugh loud while holding her stomach while Abhijeet made a fuming face with...

Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): Mumma...dekho na yeh dono kya bol rahe hai...

Bhoomika who was literally trying hard to suppress her laughter...while trying to make a firm face exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a firm tone): Guddu...Sweety...bas...bahot hogaya...koi nahi chedega mere bacche ko...

Daya and Naina while trying hard to suppress their laughter nodded in positive...but they couldn't...

They both started to laugh louder while Bhoomika who couldn't hold up herself beyond that joined them in laughter leaving Abhijeet fuming...

After one week...

At the hospital...

Daya who was sitting in the half lying posture while making a tired yet annoyed expression exclaimed as...

Daya (in an annoyed tone): Mumma...aaj bhi khichadi...bas bhi karo na yeh...aur kitne din yehi khilaoge aap...

Naina chuckled out hearing that while Bhoomika who was taking the khichadi in the plate turned towards him with...

Bhoomika (in a teasing tone): kyu...uss din tho keha rahe the ki khichadi accha lag ne laga hai...

Daya (in an annoyed tone): wo tho maine ek emotion mai...peak of the moment paye bol diya...usske liye aap har roz subha...shaam yehi khiloge...hatt hai Mumma...

Bhoomika chuckled hearing his complaint while Naina trying to control her laughter exclaimed as...

Naina (in a managed tone): Mumma...khichadi tho meri favorite hai...phir bhi mujhe khud isse dekh dekh ke boring lag rahi hai...tho bhaiya ke liye kitna muskhil hoga yeh khana...chod do na...bhaiya ko kuch aur khila do na...

Daya (in agreement): wahi tho...please na Mumma...mujh se nahi hoga...

Bhoomika made a helpless face and was about to say something but Atharv entered the ICU in a hurry with...

Atharv (in a hurry): Bhoomi...yaar...yeh client tum se baat kar na chathe hai...please baat kar le na...line mai hai...

Saying this he forwarded the phone to her while Bhoomika tried to speak as...

Bhoomika (in a defending tone): areee...par mai tho khana khilane...

Atharv took the plate from hand and placed the phone in her hand with...

Atharv (in a hurry): Champ ko mai khila duga...tum jaa ke baat kar...warna deal miss bhi ho saktha...please baat kar le...

Bhoomika made a disappointed face and moved out to talk with the client while Atharv moved towards Daya with...

Atharv (in a happy tone): chalo Champ...hum khana khate hai...

Daya made a extra worried face seeing that as he didn't get how to deny the khichadi...

Because now if he says no then his father might misunderstand that he was getting uneasy in his presence as usual...

Even though Daya has become more comfortable with Atharv...talking with him...trying and even getting gel with him...sometimes unintentionally the uneasiness comes in between which he couldn't help...

Atharv was also trying his level best...but yes he has turned more cautious with his actions so that he couldn't make Daya feel uneasy or uncomfortable in any way...

Even though Daya was tired of having khichadi he didn't want to protest at least for the sake of his father who was stepping to feed him by himself without any hesitation...

He while deciding to have the khichadi smiled faintly seeing Atharv's smiling face while Atharv stopped in the middle all of sudden and looked at the way from which Bhoomika went out...

He while glancing at the closed door moved towards the side table in a hurry and kept the plate of khichadi over there...

He then took out a parcel kept hidden in a bag and while taking a box from it moved towards Daya with...

Atharv (in a hurry): chalo Champ...yeh lo...isse khao...

Daya who became puzzled seeing Atharv's actions and the box asked out as...

Daya (in confusion): yeh...yeh kya hai Papa...

Atharv while still glancing at the door opened the box and showed it to Daya with...

Atharv (in a managed tone): yeh...wahi...tumara favourite sandwich hai...paneer cheese melt wala...tere favourite dukan se laya hu...

Daya looked at Atharv in surprise hearing his words and seeing the sandwich thinking how he still remembered this thing...

Seeing Daya in the surprise mode Atharv while nodding his head in confusion asked out as...

Atharv (in confusion): areee...champ...aise kya dekh rahe ho...haan...(in a realizing tone)...ohhh yeh soch rahe ho ki tere favourite dukan abhi hai...hai na...haan obviously hai...wo tho saalo se chal rahi hai ...bas exterior badala hai...baki sab same to same...patha hai same chef hai abhi abhi...jissko tum ne ghar laa ne ke zid kiya tha...yaad hai tume...

Naina who was hearing everything keenly asked out of surprise as...

Naina (in surprise): kya...sach mai...

Atharv (in a excited tone): haan...Champ ko unn ke haath ka sandwich itna pasand aagaya ki yeh zid kar ke baith gaya tha ki uss chef ko ghar leke aayega aur roz wahi unnke haath ka sandwich khayega...mai tho mann gaya...in fact uss chef se dealing bhi kar ne laga...humare ghar ke personal cook bann ne ke liye...magar Bhoomi...nahi maani...wo hum dono ka band baja ke ghar leke aagayi thi...just miss...warna wo chef...chef se humara cook bann hi jaathe...

Naina laughed out of surprise and excitement hearing everything while Daya who turned more and more nostalgic and emotional hearing everything exclaimed as...

Daya (in a teary tone): aap ko...aap ko yeh sab...yeh sab abhi bhi yaad hai Papa...

Atharv who was saying everything with a glittering eyes looked at Daya in a jerk hearing his emotional words...

He fondled Daya's cheeks while looking at Daya with a lots of affection his eyes and exclaimed as...

Atharv (in a teary tone): of course Champ...mere pyaare bacche ke saath bithaye lamho ko kaise bhool saktha hu mai...haan...har ek pal yaad hai mujhe...

Daya looked at Atharv in a highly emotional manner while Atharv who got to remember the sandwich in his hand cleared his eyes with...

Atharv (in a hurry): Champ...baki baatein hum baad mai karege...pehale tum yeh sandwich khao...agar tere Mumma aagayi na tho mera sandwich baana degi...

Naina and Daya chuckled out hearing that while Atharv started to feed the sandwich to Daya while glancing at the door intermittently...

Daya made a mesmerized expression in a highly nostalgic manner feeling the same favor and taste eating the first bite of the sandwich...

He while chewing the bite slowly to take up the taste completely exclaimed as...

Daya (in a happy tone): yeh kitna tasty hai...matlab...wahi taste...wahi aroma...sab waisa hi hai jaise pehale tha...ditto...my god...it's yummy as always...

Atharv smiled broadly with a glittering eyes seeing Daya's cute antics while Naina exclaimed as...

Naina (in a excited tone): accha...Papa phir tho mujhe bhi ek do...mai bhi taste kar ke dekh thi hu...

Atharv (in a soft tone): of course Sweety...yeh lo...

Saying this Atharv gave Naina a sandwich who after taking a bite made a mesmerized expression as same as Daya and exclaimed as...

Naina (in surprise): yeh tho sach mai bahot yummy hai...wow...amazing...Papa...you are right...just miss...matlab...khash aap uss chef ko ghar le hi aate...kitna accha hotha...

Atharv smiled in disappointment while Daya started to laugh hearing her dramatic words...

Then Atharv continued to feed Daya with the same smile while Daya and Naina started to enjoy the sandwich...

But their enjoyment was shot lived...when they heard Bhoomika's voice as...

Bhoomika (in a stern tone): yeh kya chal rahi hai yahan...haan...

Atharv and Naina's hand stopped in the middle while Daya froze in the chewing state seeing Bhoomika standing there with a stern face...

She moved towards them with the same stern face and exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a stern tone): ohhh paneer cheese melt sandwich...tho aap yeh kandh kar ne ke liye mujhe client ke naam se bhej di...Atharv ji...

Atharv who didn't get what to say...how to manage kept the sandwich box on the bed and moved towards Bhoomika with...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): nahi...wo...mai...actually...mai aise hi uss taraf gusar raha tha tho...mujhe Champ ke yaad aaya...issliye leke...

Bhoomika (in anger): accha...dimaag kharab hai tumara...mai yahan dekh dekh ke khichadi banna ke kila rahi hu usse...aur tum kya kila rahe ho...sandwich...wo bhi yeh cheese melt wala...jaan the nahi ki Guddu yeh sab nahi kha saktha ab...

Atharv (in a defending tone): areee...yaar...tum ek hafte se bichara ko yeh khichadi hi tho khila rahe ho...maine sandwich hi tho dilaya hai...wo bhi ek...ek sandwich kha ne se kya hojayega...

Bhoomika (in anger): ek sandwich se kya hojayega...areeee...yeh jung food hai...ek do...ya 1000...jung food tho jung food hi hothi hai na...aur bimar bacche ko koi jung food khila...

Daya tried to intervene but his parents were not in the mood to listen to him...they were in a full on fight mode...

Naina too tried but there was no use they continued to fight in a full force...

Daya and Naina exchanged a tired yet helpless gaze for a second thinking how to stop their parents from fighting...

Suddenly their eyes fell over the sandwich box beside Daya...

The tasty sandwich started to attract them...it urged them to eat...

They looked at their parents...then at the sandwich simultaneously...they again exchanged a glance...

They both felt like it was impossible to stop their parents from fighting...but it was possible to finish the yummy sandwich which was just at one hand distance...

They while exchanging a glance once again and they smoothly took the sandwich box...

They started to eat the sandwich silently while making a mesmerizing expression and silent appreciation for the sandwich in action...

While the siblings were enjoying the sandwich silently Atharv and Bhoomika continued to fight hardly unaware of their children's silent deeds...

Atharv (in an annoyed tone): Bhoomi...yaar...ab yeh jhagada bas bhi tho karo...ek tho khichadi khila khila ke hi usska mood down kar diya hai tum ne...upar se ab jagada kar ke mood off kar rahe ho usske...dekho Champ ka muh kaise...

He stopped abruptly seeing Daya's face followed by Naina's...whose cheeks seems to be puffy and chubby than usual as their mouth was literally dumped with the sandwich which they were eating in a excited mode...

Bhoomika who was getting ready to smash Atharv got confused seeing Atharv's frozen state...she too turned towards Daya and Naina and became shocked seeing their state...

They both exchanged a glance in a shock and then started to stare at Daya and Naina with a stern gaze..

Daya and Naina who were busy on eating the sandwich didn't notice their parents' stern gaze over them...

But soon Daya realized the absence of the loud sound of their parents' fight which he was hearing till then...

He turned towards them in suspicion and became shocked seeing Atharv and Bhoomika's stern gaze over them...

He while trying to revive himself from the nervousness jerked Naina who looked at him in a question...

Seeing Daya's gaze over some other direction Naina followed it in confusion and she too became shocked seeing their parents' stern gaze...

They both exchanged a glance in nervousness while gulping down the saliva...

They then looked at Atharv and Bhoomika with a nervous smile who intensified their stern gaze...

Before Atharv and Bhoomika could say anything...Daya and Naina burped out simultaneously and unintentionally...

They closed their mouths in a hurry while looking at each other in nervousness again...

Before they could even react they could hear the laughing sound from their parents' side...

They looked at Atharv and Bhoomika in a jerk and became shocked seeing them laughing...

Seeing Daya and Naina's shocked face they started to laugh more while a smile of embarrassment appeared over Daya and Naina's face too realizing the reason for their parents' unstoppable laughter...

They too started to giggle in complete embarrassment while Atharv and Bhoomika laughed more...

Besides these four people another person was also very happy at that moment...

He was also smiling and overwhelming watching everything through the side peep window of the ward...

Seeing his parents and siblings laughing and spending a quality time together the person felt overwhelmed...

Yes...undoubtedly the person was none other than Abhijeet who was watching everything with a glittering eyes...

He felt like his dream was coming true...the dream of seeing his family like this was finally...finally happening...

While Abhijeet was overwhelming in happiness Dev who was also watching everything stepped forward with...

Dev (in a firm tone): tume nahi lag tha ki tume bhi uss frame mai...uss jage paye hona chahiye...

Abhijeet looked at Dev in a jerk for a second and then again he turned to look at his family and exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): nahi...mai yehi theek hu...

Dev (in a firm tone): haan...tum hoge theek...magar tume nahi lag tha ki yeh frame tumare bina adhura hai...

Abhijeet who could feel a storm rising in his heart hearing that clenched his fist tightly with...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): nahi...yeh frame mere bina bhi theek hai...in fact perfect hai...

Dev made a frustrated expression and was about to say something but stopped hearing Daya saying from inside as...

Daya (in a soft tone): khash yeh Macron bhi yehi hotha ab...kitna maza aajaatha...matlab usski bhi tho favourite hai yeh sandwich...(in a low tone)...aur mujhe acchi se patha hai hai ki usse bhi yeh khaye huye kahi saal hogaya hoga...

Naina and Bhoomika exchanged a pain filled gaze while Atharv clenched his fist to manage his emotions...

Daya (in a managed tone): koi baat nahi hai...aur 2 sandwich hai iss mai...isse samal ke rakh the hai...bhaishab tho waise bhi aayega thodi der mai...tho surprise de the hai isse de ke...khush hojayega wo...

Naina (in a confused tone): khush...aur bhai...wo bhi isse dekh ke...bhaiya...aap shayad bhool rahe hai ki bhai anti jung foods gang mai...wo kaise khayege isse...bas yeh bolege ki yeh kitne...(stressing)...heavy sandwich hai...matlab bachpan mai khaye hoge...ab tho...

Daya (in a teasing tone): nahi...nahi Sweety...tum nahi jaan the ki mai aur Macron bachpan mai yeh sandwich khane ke liye kya kya hungama kiya hai...issliye I know...wo pakka khayega...aaj yeh sandwich dekh ne ke baad na Macron wo anti jung food gang se permanently resign kar lega...dekh ne tum...

Naina (in a giggling tone): accha...yeh tho bahot acchi baat hai...matlab maza aayega...aap mujhe do...mai wahan rakh thi hu side mai...bhai jab aayege khila dege unnko bhi yeh tasty aur yummy sandwich...

Daya while smiling in disappointment gave the box to Naina seeing which Atharv tried to protest but Bhoomika stopped him timely with a firm negative nod...

Atharv made a disappointing expression while Daya started to look at the door with...

Daya (in a excited tone): jaldi aajaa Macron...tere liye humare favourite sandwich intezaar kar raha hai...

Naina (in a naughty tone): haan...haan...sandwich bhai ke liye...aur hum bhai ko jung foods ki samil kar ne ke liye excited hai...

Saying this Daya and Naina did a hi fi while Bhoomika nodded her head in disappointment...

Abhijeet tightened his fist more feeling a lump in his throat seeing everything...

His lips started to tremble out of emotional rush while he tightened his fist more and more to avoid getting his eyes welled up with tears...

Dev who was also witnessing Daya's words smiled sadly and asked out deliberately as...

Dev (in a firm tone): ab bhi yehi kahoge ki yeh frame tere bina hi perfect hai...

Abhijeet while trying to gulp down the tears and pain managed to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): haan...aur agar perfect nahi bhi hai...tho perfect hojayega...aur...aur mere bina adaat padh jaayega sab ko...

Dev (in pain): accha...jaise tume aadat padha tha jab Daya coma mai tha...

Abhijeet looked at Dev with a sharp pain understanding the meaning of his words and exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in pain): Dev...tum...

Dev (in frustration): Abhijeet yaar...please...ab tho yeh raaz khol de...ab sab sahi bhi horaha hai na...tum sab ko sach...

Abhijeet (interrupted in a firm tone as): mai nahi baata saktha Dev...nahi baata saktha mai...aur yeh baat mai hazar baar keha chuka hu tum se...(after a pause)...aur...tum ne sahi kaha ki ab sab sahi horaha hai...aur sab kuch pura sahi hona hai tho yeh raaz ko raaz hi reha ne padhega...warna sab galat hojayega...barbad hojayega...jo mai bikul bhi barthas nahi kar saktha...

Dev (in a helpless tone): Abhijeet...tum samjh kyu nahi rahe ho...yaar aise...

Abhijeet (interrupted in a firm tone as): Dev...please...maine kaha na...muhe iss baar mai koi baat nahi kar na hai Dev...so please...

Dev who made a highly helpless yet frustrated expression hearing that turned to the other side to manage his emotions...

After a solid pause he again turned towards Abhijeet who was looking at his family in nostalgia with...

Dev (in a managed tone): theek hai...yeh sab chodo...pehale yeh baatao ki Deen sir ke offer ke baare mai kya socha hai tum ne...

Abhijeet's eyes widened for a second and he turned towards Dev in a jerk as a reflex with...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): tume...kaise...

Dev (in a low tone): wo...wo maine galati se aap teeno ke baatein sunn liya...

Flashback...

Two days ago...

At Satya's cabin...

Abhijeet entered the cabin after taking the permission and moved towards Satya while exclaiming as...

Abhijeet (in a polite tone): Good morning sir...aap ne bulaya mujhe...

Satya looked up at Abhijeet hearing his wish and gave a warm smile with...

Satya (in a soft tone): aao...aao...Abhijeet...tumara hi intezaar kar raha tha...aao...baitho...

Abhijeet who was in a puzzled mode thinking why Satya might have called him smiled faintly hearing his words and sat on the chair slowly with...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): achanak bulaya hai...sab theek hai na sir?

Satya (in a soft tone): mera tho sab theek hai...tum apna baatao...matlab...tumara bhai kaisa hai...

Abhijeet (in a soft tone): he is better now...in fact ab 3 din mai discharge hai usska...

Satya (in a soft tone): that's great...that's great...

A silence prevailed for a while after that as Satya was finding it a little difficult to initiate the point on which he wanted to speak...

Seeing Satya in a thinking yet a hesitant mode Abhijeet tried to speak up as...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): sir...aap...

He was forced to stop when Satya forwarded a envelope to him all of sudden with...

Satya (in a firm tone): yeh lo Abhijeet...

Abhijeet (in confusion): yeh...yeh kya sir?

Satya (in a soft tone): tum khud hi dekh le na...

Abhijeet who got much more confused seeing Satya's changing antics accepted the envelope with a small nod...

He took the paper out of the envelope and opened it with the same puzzled yet tensed face...

But upon reading the content of the paper his eyes widened in shock...

He stood up as a reflex and looked at Satya in a haphazard way with...

Abhijeet (in shock): sir...yeh...yeh kya...sir...aap...aap mujhe humare hospital ke CEO banna na chathe hai...

Satya (in a soft tone): haan Abhijeet...mai chatha hu ki tum humare hospital yani healthy life hospital ke CEO banno...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): magar sir...mai kaise...mai kyu...itne saare senior doctors hai...experts hai...humare hospital mai...unnko chod ke aap mujhe kyu...

Satya while smiling softly got up from his seat and moved towards Abhijeet with...

Satya (in a soft tone): kyuki mujhe khud se bhi jyada bharosa hai tum paye Abhijeet...tum hi wo insaan ho jo mere baad humare hospital ko samal sakthe ho...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): mai...sir...mai kaise...mere experience hi kya hai jo aap...

Satya (in a firm tone): kabiliyat sirf experience se nahi aata hai Abhijeet...kabiliyat...mehnat se...passion se...dedication se...most importantly apne profession ke upar ke pyaar aur bhakti se aata hai...jo obviously hai tum mai...aur tho aur...ek doctor ke andar jo jazba...jo aag...jo patience...jo dedication hona chahiye...wo sab hai tum mai...wo bhi bahot jyada...

Abhijeet looked at Satya with an unsaid expression while Satya pressed Abhijeet's shoulder softly with...

Satya (in a soft tone): Abhijeet...manna ki yahan ke baki doctors mai bhi yeh qualities hai...magar tum mai wo sab kuch sab se jyada hai mere hisaab se...mai tume tumare internship ke time se dekh raha hu Abhijeet...aur tab se leke aaj tak har baar tum ne mujhe surprise kiya hai apne inn qualities se...aur har baar...har baar maine usse express bhi Kiya hai ki you are born to become a doctor...

Abhijeet felt a crack in his heart hearing that while Satya continued to exclaim as...

Satya (in a soft tone): aur aise ek doctor hi aise ek hospital ko samal saktha hai beta...aur mujhe pura yakeen hai ki tum humare hospital ko isse bhi jyada aage leke jaoge...bahot jyada aage...aur issliye hi mai tume CEO banna na chatha hu...samjhe...(after a pause)...saare doubts clear na...koi aur sawal tho nahi hai na...

Abhijeet who was facing a heavy emotional turmoil inside his heart exclaimed deliberately as...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): hai sir...hai...sab se important sawal hai wo...sir aap shayad bhool jaye hai ki mai ab humare hospital ke hissa nahi hu...mai yeh kaam nahi kar tha...infact mai yeh doctor profession hi chod chuka hu...ab mai sirf ek CID officer hu sir...aur...

Satya (in a firm tone): accha...yeh profession chod chuke ho tum...seriously...ek baat baatao tume CID mai join kiye huye lag bak 1-2 mahine hogaye hoge...hai na...isske andar kitne baar...kitne logo ke surgeries kiya hai tum ne...kitne baar treatment diya hai...kitne baar...yaad hai tume...areee...CID mai join kar ne baad wahan bhi itne cases tum ne handle nahi kiye hoge jitne yahan aake kiya hai...tum CID officer bann ke bhi doctor hi ho Abhijeet...samjhe...

Abhijeet just clenched his fist more tightly while Satya who was noticing Abhijeet's expression exclaimed as...

Satya (in a firm tone): aur waise bhi tum ne CID apne bhai ko dhoodh ne ke liye hi tho join kiya tha...ab tho tere bhai bhi mil gaya hai...phir kya problem hai...haan...

Abhijeet who became shocked hearing that looked at Satya in a jerk as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): yeh...yeh...aapko...kaise...

Before Satya could answer ACP entered the cabin and moved towards Abhijeet with...

ACP (in a soft tone): maine hi baataya tha Abhijeet...

Another shocker for Abhijeet...he didn't even get how to react now...he while trying to gasp everything uttered as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): aap ne...aap ne baataya sir?

ACP (in a soft tone): haan beta...actually tere yeh deen sir hai na...yeh mere bachpan ka dost hai...kuch din pehale jab isse mai yahan mila tho yeh mujh se jagad ne lag gaya ki mai tume uss se kyu cheen liya...kyu CID leke gaya tum ko...tabhi maine baataya issko yeh sach...

Abhijeet looked at ACP in helplessness while ACP glancing at Satya once pressed Abhijeet's shoulder with...

ACP (in a soft tone): beta...accept kar le yeh posting...

Abhijeet (in shock): sir...aap bhi...

ACP (in a soft tone): haan beta...mai bhi yehi chatha hu...kyuki mai jaan tha hu ki tere khushi yahan hai...iss hospital mai hai...inn patients ke bich hai...unnko theek kar ne mai hai...aur mai yehi chahuga ki tum apne aap ko chuno...apne khushiyon ko chuno...usske paas wapas jao...

Abhijeet (in a defending tone): lekin sir...mai...

ACP (in a soft tone): beta...jab tum yahan ke sab kar the ho na...tab tere chehre paye automatically ek chamak aajatha hai jo baki wakt bikul bhi nahi hotha...manna ki tum CID ke har kaam acche se kar le the ho...detection se leke sab kar the ho acchi se...magar wo chamak...wo humesha missing hai...aur mai chatha hu ki wo chamak humesha banne rahe hai...aur wo tabhi hoga jab tum wapas se full time doctor bannoge...

Abhijeet looked at ACP with an unsaid expression while ACP patted Abhijeet's cheek with...

ACP (in a soft tone): mere liye tumne CID se aise jaane de na asaan nahi hai beta...mai tho tume humesha CID mai chatha hu...mera bikul bhi mann nahi hai...magar mai apne swart ke liye tum se tumare khushi kaise cheen le tha...haan...jab ki mujhe acchi se patha hai ki tumare khushi yehi hai...iss hospital mai hai...aur tho aur tum jaise acche doctor ke bahot jaruraat hai beta...

Abhijeet made a helpless face and was about to speak up but ACP continued to say as...

ACP (in a soft tone): beta...tum ne aur Daya ne bachpan se ab tak kitna kuch sehen liya hai...haan...ab bas bahot hogaya...aage ke jindagi mai dukh ya pareshani ke chaya bhi nahi padh na chahiye...tum dono khush reha na deserve kar the ho beta...issliye khush reha ne ke liye jo kar na chahiye wo karo...tere khushi tere samne haath behala ke khada hai beta...usse gale laga lo na...

Abhijeet who felt like his heart crushing out of pain hearing everything just lowered his gaze while tightening his fist more and more to gain control over his emotions...

Satya who was looking at ACP and Abhijeet till then felt his eyes getting wet feeling Abhijeet's pain and emotional turmoil...

But ACP who was unaware of anything felt confused seeing Abhijeet silent like this...out of confusion and worry he asked as...

ACP (in worry): kya hua beta...itna kyu soch rahe ho tum...kuch...kuch aur problem bhi hai kya?...haan...

Abhijeet looked at ACP in a jerk for a second hearing his query but he didn't get what to say...how to manage...

But he knew he has to say something so that to avoid stirring his both mentor's suspicion...so he tried to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): nahi...nahi sir...aise koi...koi baat nahi hai...mai bas...bas soch rahi hu...(after a pause)...matlab...mujhe iss baare mai soch ne ke liye thoda...thoda wakt chahiye sir...

ACP felt odd hearing that as he couldn't get the reason why Abhijeet was thinking this much over this which was his everything...

He while puzzling in confusion was about to ask something but Satya intervened with...

Satya (in a soft tone): theek hai Abhijeet...tume jitna wakt le na utna le lo...mai tumare jawab ka intezaar karuga...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): thank you sir...(after a pause)...Daya...uth gaya hoga...mai jau...

Satya nodded in positive seeing which Abhijeet smiled slightly and then came out of the cabin after wishing Satya and ACP in a hurry...

ACP who was dangling confusion turned towards Satya and asked out in worry as...

ACP (in confusion): yaar...tum ne kuch kaha kyu nahi...matlab iss mai itna soch ne wali kya baat hai...matlab yeh tho usske sapna hoga na...phir bhi wo khush hone ke bajai...itne pareshan...

Satya (in a managed tone): areee bhai...shant hojao...wo humesha aise hi kar tha hai...matlab maine senior doctors ko chod ke usse choose kiya hai na...issliye itna pareshan horaha hai...kaam kaise bhi do kitna bhi do bina soche karega...agar koi prestigious kaam do...tho bhaishab pareshan hojaatha hai...aur keha ne lag tha hai ki seniors ko kar ne do...iss baar bhi wahi soch ke pareshan hai...theek hojayega...fikar mat karo tum...

ACP who got satisfied hearing Satya's explanation looked at him in understanding while the tension lines disappeared from his forehead...

ACP (in a soft tone): aisa hai tho theek hai...I hope ki wo bina jyada soche tere baat mann jaye...

Satya (in a jovial tone): haan...haan...bhai...don't worry...wo...pakka mann jayega...

ACP (in a firm tone): dekho...mai usske khushi ke liye usse bhej tho raha hu yahan...magar yaad rakh na...agar usse jyada pareshan kiya...ya phir jyada kaam diya na tho...mai usse wapas le jauga CID mai...samjhe...

Satya felt a emotional rush hearing ACP's words and seeing his love and concern for Abhijeet...

He started to feel bad for hiding the truth regarding Abhijeet to ACP...

But he didn't show up he managed a chuckle out of his mouth and exclaimed as...

Satya (in a teasing tone): accha...direct dhamki...wo bhi ACP se...kya baat hai...lekin bhaishab for your kind information...wo pehale mere doctor hai...usske baad hi aap ke officer banna tha...

ACP (in a firm tone): haan tho...kya hua...ab bhi wo mere hi officer hai...agar mai kahuga na tho wo CID mai reha jayega...tum dhoodh le na apne liye koi naya CEO...

Satya (in a fake shocked tone): areee...yeh kya...accha....theek hai...theek hai bhai...I am sorry...Abhijeet tumara hi hai pehala...ab khush...

ACP smiled broadly hearing that while Satya patted ACP's shoulder softly with...

Satya (in a soft tone): aur mai wada kar tha hu ki mai Abhijeet ka bahot accha khayal rakhuga...bahot jyada...hmmm...

ACP (in a defending tone): areee...yaar...tum tho serious hogaye...mujhe patha hai ki tum usska acche khayal rakhoge...mai tho aise hi bol raha tha...

Satya smiled slightly and pressed ACP's shoulder again while reassuring his heart with the promise he made to ACP...

Flashback ends...

Dev (in a soft tone): kya socha hai...haan...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): iss mai soch na kya hai...mai wo posting nahi luga...

Dev (in frustration): kyu yaar...accept kar na yeh posting...ab iss mai kya problem hai...

Abhijeet (in disbelief): seriously Dev...tum puch rahe ho ki problem kya hai...areee...ACP sir aur Deen sir tho kuch nahi jaan the issliye yeh sab bol rahe hai...magar tum...sab jaan the huye bhi puch rahe ho ki problem kya hai...

Dev (in a firm tone): haan...kyuki mujhe sach mai samjh nahi aaraha hai ki iss mai problem kya hai...matlab agar sir tumare purane posting diya hotha tho mai samjh saktha hu...magar CEO posting mai kya problem hai...uss mai tho tume sirf saare decision le na...sab organize kar na hai...over view hi kar na hai na...phir kyu tum aise...

Abhijeet (in frustration): accha...matlab CEO ka kaam bahot asaan hai...hai na...areee...patha hai na wo kitna bada posting hai...kitne responsibilities hothi hai...kitna kuch samal na hotha hai...agar mujh se kuch galat...

Dev (in a firm tone): kuch galat nahi hoga Abhijeet...kyu itne negative soch rahe ho...haan...yaar...mai jaan tha hu ki CEO ke posting bahot badi responsibility hai...bahot muskhil kaam hai...sab patha hai mujhe...magar yaar...jiss baat se tum dar rahe ho wo tho nahi hoga na...

Abhijeet looked at Dev in a surprise seeing which Dev smiled sadly and exclaimed as...

Dev (in a soft tone): yaar...mai tumara dost hu...tum nahi baataoge tho mujhe nahi patha chalega hai kya...haan...mai acchi se jaan tha hu ki tum...tum patients ke health ke saath risk nahi le na chathe...tume dar hai ki tumare bimari ke waja se kuch gadbad na hojaye...aur issliye tum wapas surgeon bhi nahi bann na chatha hai...sab jaan tha hu mai...

Abhijeet averted his gaze in pain while Dev pressed Abhijeet's shoulder softly with...

Dev (in a soft tone): mai yeh bhi jaan tha hu ki tum wapas yahan aana chathe ho...kyuki tumare jaan basthi hai yahan...lekin apne dar ke waja se tum abhi bhi CID mai kaam kar rahe ho...magar yaar...yeh CEO posting tere problem ka shayad best solution hai...matlab agar tum CEO bannoge tho tume surgery nahi kar na padhega...chathe tho kar sakthe ho...magar sirf tum chathe tho...lekin tum apne ashiyana mai kaam kar sakthe ho...wo bhi aaram se...bina kissi dar ke...

Abhijeet looked at Dev with an unsaid expression while Dev continued to exclaim as...

Dev (in a soft tone): yaar...please mann jaa na...apne liye naa sahi...at least mere liye...please...

Abhijeet looked at Dev in pain for a while and then patted Dev's shoulder with...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): I am sorry Dev...shayad mujh se nahi hoga...

Saying this Abhijeet moved from the place in a hurry leaving Dev in worry who went back to the memory lane of his conversation with Satya one week ago...

Flashback...(Continuation of chapter 29)

At Satya's cabin...

Dev (in confusion): matlab sir...

Satya (in a firm tone): matlab...jab tak Abhijeet CID mai rehega tab tak wo surgery ke baare mai sochega bhi nahi...kyuki wahan aise mohal hi nahi jo usse iss baare mai soch ne paye majboor kare...usse wapas yahan humare hospital mai laa na padhega Dev...yahan aake kaam karega tho shayad usske mann badal jaye...matlab yahan ke kaam...yeh mohal usske dil badal saktha hai...aur...

Dev (interrupted in frustration as): wo nahi mannega sir...wo bikul nahi mannega...usske mann mai yeh dar baith gaya ki usske bimari ke waja se gadbad hojayega...issliye wo wapas nahi aayega sir...nahi aayega wo...

Satya looked at him in pain for a second and then while smiling sadly exclaimed as...

Satya (in a low tone): jaan tha hu Dev...jaan tha hu...(after a pause)...tume yaad hai...ek saal pehale humare hospital ke anniversary paye tum logo ko ek surprise de ne wala tha...

Dev (in a realizing tone): haan sir...magar aap ne tho wo surprise diya hi nahi hai...aur tab hi tho Abhijeet bhi...

Satya (interrupted in a sad tone as): mai Abhijeet ko humare hospital ke CEO banna na chatha tha...mai chatha tha ki wo mere baad iss hospital ke jimmedhari le...

Dev (in happiness): kya sach mai sir...aap usse CEO banna na chathe the...

Satya (in a sad tone): haan...chatha tha...aur anniversary ke celebration ke wakt announce bhi kar ne wala tha...magar Abhijeet...wo tho resign kar ke chala gaya tha wo bhi doctor profession ko chod ke...mujhe bahot bura laga...bahot dukh hua mujhe...baar baar yehi sawal sata raha tha ki aakir kyu choda yeh profession jo usske liye sab kuch hai...kyu...

Dev looked at Satya in pain who while managing his emotions exclaimed as...

Satya (in a sad tone): ab jab patha chala ki wo apne bhai ke liye hi CID join kiya tho...mere dil mai wapas se umeed jagh gaya tha...lekin wo umeed tho ab...(while gulping down his tears)...nahi...nahi...ab bhi kuch nahi gaya hai Dev...kuch nhi gaya hai...ek saal pehale jo nahi kar paya wo ab karuga...mai Abhijeet ko ab CEO bannuga...

Dev (in hesitation): sir...agar Abhijeet CEO bannega tho mujh se jyada khushi kissiko bhi nahi hoga...magar sir...ab usske aise halat mai...itne badi jimmedhari...matlab usse abhi aaram ke jaruraat hai na...aise mai itne pressure...agar usse kuch...

Satya (in a soft tone): tume kya lag tha hai Dev...mai yeh sab nahi socha hoga kya...haan...wo sab mai samaluga...hmmm...yeh khoshsis kar ke dekh the hai na...kya patha usske mann badal jaye...hmm...agar usske mann nahi badala tho mai khud uss se baat karuga...theek hai...aur mai apne dosto se bhi baat karuga...aur bade se bade experts se surgery karwayege hum Abhijeet ke...usse theek karege hum...samjhe...

Dev looked at Satya in a worry who while looking at him in assurance exclaimed as..

Satya (in a firm tone): chahe jo hojaye mai usse kuch nahi hone duga Dev...kuch nahi hoga usse...usse nahi khoyege hum...Dev...nahi khoyege hum...samjhe...tum bas usse wapas laa ne ke baare mai soch baki sab mai dekh luga...theek hai...

Flashback ends...

Dev (in a firm tone): chahe jo hojaye Abhijeet...mai tume manna ke hi rahuga...tume yahan wapas leke aake hi rahuga...aur mai jaan tha hu wo kaise kar na hai...mujhe Daya se baat kar na padhega...wahi isse manna saktha hai...

Determining this in his mind Dev moved from the place while deciding to talk with Daya afterwards...

At night...

In Daya's room...

Daya was sitting in the half lying posture while looking at Abhijeet who was checking Daya's vitals in silence..

Abhijeet could feel Daya's constant gaze over him but he didn't react...he continued to check his wounds...

Daya too didn't speak he just continued to look at Abhijeet without taking his eyes...

The silence was pierced by Dev's voice who entered the room with...

Dev (in a soft tone): Good evening Daya...kaise ho...

Daya (in a soft tone): Good...

Dev (in a jovial tone): haan...haan...wo tho dikh raha hai...ki kitne good ho...khush ho...aur khush hoge bhi kyu nahi...kal discharge jo mil ne wala hai tume...

Daya while eyeing at Abhijeet smiled broadly and exclaimed as...

Daya (in a soft tone): haan...wo bhi hai...magar khush tho mai apne bhai Macron ke liye hu...wo iss hospital ke CEO jo bann ne wala hai...

Abhijeet who was checking the vitals jerked hearing that and looked at Dev with a fuming gaze...seeing which Daya exclaimed as...

Daya (in a firm tone): usse kyu ghur rahe ho...haan...ussne nahi baataya...ACP sir ne baataya...jaake unne ghur ke aao...jao...

Abhijeet made a disappointed face while Daya crossing his arms against his chest exclaimed as...

Daya (in a firm tone): itna bada offer mila hai tume...aur tum mujhe baata bhi jaruri nahi samjha...haan...mujhe iss baare mai kyu nahi baataya tum ne...

Abhijeet who didn't get what to say just tried to manage by saying as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): yaar...wo...actually patha nahi...kaise...mere...mere dimaag se nikal gaya tha...

Daya (in a firm tone): accha...itne badi baat bhool gaye tum...seriously...haan...itna stupid reason de ne se accha tho tum reason hi nahi diya hotha Macron...

Abhijeet started to scratch his head in embarrassment hearing that while Daya exclaimed as...

Daya (in a firm tone): kyu nahi bann na chathe tum CEO...haan...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): wo...kyuki...kyuki mujhe...

Daya (in a firm tone): dubara se koi stupid reason de ne ke khoshsis bhi mat kar na...sirf sach baatao...

Abhijeet looked at Dev in helplessness who started to look at the other side as if saying he wouldn't help him at all...

While nodding his head in frustration and helplessness Abhijeet was about to say something but was interrupted by Bhoomika as...

Bhoomika (in a polite tone): kya hua Guddu...kya sach jaan na hai Abu se...

Daya turned towards Bhoomika who and Naina entered with a smiling face...Daya while looking at Abhijeet with pointed gaze started to exclaim as...

Daya (in a casual tone): kuch nahi Mumma...wo aap ke ladle bete ko iss hospital...yani Healthy life hospital ke CEO bann ne ka offer mila hai...

Bhoomika and Naina's eyes widened in surprise hearing that...they exchanged a glance in happiness with...

Bhoomika and Naina (simultaneously): kya...sach...

Daya nodded in positive while Bhoomika and Naina looked at Abhijeet in happiness with...

Naina (in a happy tone): congratulations Bhai...I am so happy for you...

Daya (in a casual tone): hold on Sweety...congratulations tho tabhi bol sakthe hai...jab yeh bhaishab CEO bannege...yeh tho CEO bann na hi nahi chatha...

Bhoomika (in shock): kya...nahi bann na chatha...magar kyu...

Daya (in a casual tone): yeh tho aap apne ladle se hi puchiye na...

Bhoomika (in worry): kyu Abu...kya hua baccha...kyu nahi bann na chathe CEO...haan...kitna accha mauka hai baccha...phir kyu...(in tension)...koi pareshani hai kya baccha...

Abhijeet (immediately): nahi...nahi Mumma...aise koi baat nahi hai...wo bas...

Naina (in an annoyed tone): come on na Bhai...iss mai itna soch ne wali baat kya hai...kar lo na offer accept...

Abhijeet made a helpless face seeing which Daya felt odd who held Abhijeet's hand with...

Daya (in a firm tone): baat kya hai Macron...tum itne pareshan kyu horahe ho...haan...kuch hua hai kya...baatao...

Abhijeet (immediately): nahi Rock star...aise kuch...

Daya (in a firm tone): jhooth mat bolo Macron...baatao ki kya baat hai...kya pareshani hai...bolo...

Abhijeet didn't know how to manage the situation now which was turning highly complicated with each passing minute...

He started to feel highly helpless...as he didn't get how to escape this complicated situation...

If it was another day he might have accepted the offer at least for his mentor Satya but his twisted fate has turned everything upside down...

He was also feeling bad to say no to his mentor who has always been a great support and gave guidance to him in every step towards his dream of becoming a neurosurgeon...

But he was helpless...How could he even think of becoming a CEO...that too in this condition...how?

He didn't even know he was having a chance to see the next day...then how could he accept this big long term commitment...

Moreover he was obviously having a fear thinking how he could manage the whole hospital in spite of his raising health issues...

What if any problem or issue got raised because of his illness and lead to any risk...No...he couldn't...he couldn't take any risk...

But the biggest problem...how would he deny?...what reason would he give to his both mentors...brother and family for denying the offer...

How could he say to his brother that he also wanted to accept the offer...but he couldn't because of his illness...and he was not left with much time to live...

He felt like his head was blasting out of frustration and helplessness thinking what to do...how to manage...

If he denies...then it was definitely going to stir everyone's suspicion...especially his brother who wouldn't leave him without getting the actual reason...

Without being left with no other option Abhijeet decided to accept the offer in spite of all the issues...

Yes...He felt like it was better to accept the offer and join the work for the sake of mentor and family...and yes...for himself...

Yes...for himself...at least he could die with the satisfaction that he worked in his beloved hospital in his left over days to live...

Thinking all these he while clenching his fist tightly and taking a deep breath exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): theek hai Rock star...mai CEO bann ne ke liye tayyar hu...

Dev...Bhoomika and Naina exchanged a glance in happiness while Daya who was worried seeing his brother's changing antics asked out as...

Daya (in worry): are you sure?...matlab tum humare baatao se pressurize hoke tho nahi...

Abhijeet who internally fixed his mind with what to say to him brother in a few minutes smiled forcefully with...

Abhijeet (in a strong tone): nahi Rock star...bikul nahi...actually mai thoda confused tha...matlab...itne badi responsibility mai kaise...lekin ab aap logo ke baatein sunn ke mujh mai himmat aagaya hai...mai CEO bann ne ke liye bikul tayyar hu...

Daya who got satisfied hearing his brother's strong tone and words smiled broadly and hugged his brother in happiness with...

Daya (in a happy tone): yeh huyi na baat...that's my Macron...I am so so proud of you mere bhai...aur congratulations...Dr Abhijeet Khurana ji...

Abhijeet felt a lump in his throat hearing his brother's words...but he didn't even let a breathe out...

He just tightened his clenched fist more tightly while Bhoomika...Naina and Dev started to look at them in tears and happiness...

Naina too moved towards Abhijeet and hugged him tightly in happiness with a congratulations...

Bhoomika planted a soft kiss on his forehead and cupped his face with a proud eyes and exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a proud tone): mai bahot khush hu mere baccha...bahot khush...

Abhijeet smiled forcefully while tightening his fist more to mask his emotions...

Dev too moved towards Abhijeet and Abhijeet with a glittering eyes while muttered a low thank you...

Abhijeet just smiled faintly without saying anything and just patted his shoulder softly while the other three started to express their happiness with each other...

Abhijeet just started to look at his family in silence while thinking and fearing the consequence of his decision to accept the offer...

By the time Atharv and Abhir entered the room while talking with each other...they became surprised to see the happy aroma with lots of giggles...

They both exchanged a glance in surprise and confusion and entered the ICU with...

Atharv (in a loud tone): kya baat hai bhai...kiss baat ke khushiyon maanaya jaa raha hai...koi khas baat hai kya?

The smile on everyone's face faded seeing Atharv while Abhijeet who didn't expect his father at that time jerked hearing his voice and looked at him in a reflex...

He turned nervous in seconds and tried to move backward so that to hide himself from his father's gaze...

But before he could move Daya who noticed that gripped his hand and started to exclaim as...

Daya (in a happy tone): haan Papa...bahot hi khas hai news...Macron iss hospital ke CEO bann ne jaa raha hai...

Atharv whose face already tightened a bit seeing Abhijeet looked at Daya in surprise hearing the revelation while Abhir who became happy hearing that exclaimed as...

Abhir (in a happy tone): really...kya baat hai Abhijeet...CEO...my god...congratulations yaar...congratulations...

Saying this Abhir moved towards Abhijeet and hugged him in happiness who was glancing at his father in nervousness...

Atharv didn't get how to react...internally he was feeling happy and proud hearing his son's achievement in career...

But the hesitation and the silly anger in his mind was blocking his heart from expressing his happiness...

Seeing Atharv standing still with no expression Daya felt a irk and tension rising in his heart but he masked it and asked out deliberately as...

Daya (in a soft tone): Papa...aap aise kyu khade ho...haan...congratulate nahi karege Macron ko...

Atharv and Abhijeet looked at Daya in a jerk hearing his words and then at each other unintentionally and simultaneously...

A cold rush passed through their spine simultaneously with that eye lock which brought the whole painful conversation that happened between them 3 weeks ago...

They could feel a heaviness raising in their heart in that eye lock which created a heavy storm in their brain...

Unable to tolerate the heaviness in their heart they both broke the eye lock simultaneously by averting their gazes...

Daya who was noticing everything while holding up his mind again exclaimed in a bit loud tone as...

Daya (in a loud tone): Papa...kya hua...congratulate kijiye na...

Before Atharv could say or react to Daya's words Abhijeet who didn't want to stir his brother's suspicion exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a fake hurry): my god...bhool kaise gaya mai...

Daya who understood Abhijeet's attempt turned towards him and asked out as...

Daya (in worry): kya hua...kya bhool gaye...

Abhijeet (in a fake hurry): yaar...wo ek important kaam...aake baata tha hu...abhi aata hu...

Saying this Abhijeet rushed out of the room without giving any chance for Daya to talk...

Everyone looked at Abhijeet's way in pain while Atharv who felt an unknown sharp pain in his heart seeing Abhijeet going tightened his fist to gain control over his emotions...but he couldn't...

The dilemma again started to scratch his poor heart which was craving and drowning in guilt for hurting his son while his brain was still stubborn and was trying to pull back his heart...

Unable to handle his overflowing emotions and battle between heart and brain Atharv exclaimed as...

Atharv (in a managed tone): mai...mai...abhi aaya...

Saying this he too rushed out of the room leaving everyone in disappointment and pain...

Daya who was already worried seeing Abhijeet's departure...became more worried seeing everyone's changing emotions and Atharv's departure...

He already turned suspicious and could sense that something was wrong between his brother and father seeing their odd behavior from the time he came out of coma...

He never sees them coming together to meet him...

If any one was present other was missing...mostly if Atharv arrives Abhijeet left the place by making excuses...

He never sees them talking about each other voluntarily especially Atharv who doesn't even take Abhijeet's name...

If he asks them about each other unintentionally or even deliberately their facial expressions changes...

Even though Abhijeet tries to manage...Atharv deliberately shows his displeasure which forced Daya to suspect the tension between them...and yes...he was right...

His suspicion was confirmed today seeing their whole antics from the eye lock till the departure...

He also understood that others were aware of the tension seeing their pain filled face...

Daya who turned tense and restless in seconds seeing and realizing everything deliberately asked out as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): kya chal raha hai inn dono ke bich...haan...kuch hua hai kya?...haan...

Everyone who was looking at the door till then looked at Daya in a jerk hearing his question...

They all looked at each other in tension and then at Daya in restlessness and tension thinking what to say thinking about their promise to Abhijeet...

Yes...promise...Abhijeet has taken a promise from everyone to hide the whole accusation part from Daya...

They all didn't agree with him at first...they all especially Bhoomika remained stubborn to reveal everything to Daya...

But their stubbornness couldn't stand in front of Abhijeet's stubbornness and pleas...

They all ultimately agreed to keep the matter hidden from Daya with a condition that they will reveal the truth if Daya himself asked them regarding this...

Seeing everyone silent Daya's tension raised he again asked out as...

Daya (in a loud tone): mai kuch puch raha hu...jawab dijiye...kya hua hai inn dono ke bich...baatayiye...(looking at Abhir)...Abhir...tum baatao...kya hua...

Abhir who turned more nervous hearing that tried to exclaim something but Daya interrupted him as...

Daya (in a firm tone): sach Abhir...sach...mujhe sirf sach jaan na hai...

Abhir looked at Daya for a second and then at Bhoomika who assured him through eyes as if asking him to reveal the truth...

Abhir while nodding in positive and taking a deep breath and while trying to manage his emotions exclaimed as...

Abhir (in a low tone): yaar...wo...actually...hua yeh tha ki...

Abhir narrated the whole event happened from Atharv's accusation to Abhijeet's emotional breakdown...and the whole tension between Abhijeet and Atharv...

Daya's eyes widened in shock and disbelief...he became numb to the core hearing everything...

Here the chapter ends...

Will they ever reunite? Will Atharv realize his mistake before it was too late? What about Abhijeet? Will he become a successful CEO? Will he be able to balance between his work...health and family?
