Daya sit beside him staring his face. He kept staring the sleeping beauty lovingly. He fully lost and hypnotised gluing his gaze at Abhijeet's face wondering how someone could be this handsome and adorable while sleeping, who was actually rude and arrogant. His heart beat pounded rapidly and he gasped feeling some unique feeling that stormed into his heart. He kept staring Abhijeet adoringly and lovingly when automatically his hand touched Abhijeet's face and like a magnetic attraction he leaned closer to him seemed to be hypnotised by Abhijeet's magnificent beauty and lost control over his senses and feelings. He leaned enough close to Abhijeet's face that their nose rubbed each other's and being in that trance, he about to kiss Abhijeet's lips when something stroked his mind snapping him pulling him back into the reality. He bounced back immediately jerking himself while breathing heavily. His heart was pounding as if about to tear the chest. He stepped behind in complete shock unable to analyse anything and just ran away from there from this blinking and uncontrollable feelings stormed just now.
He dropped himself on the garden bench in complete confusion and shock. He pressed his chest which was still beating unusually. He squeezed the eyes tightly to get rid of this strange and wobble feeling which has shaken him slightly.
"What was that! Yeh kya ho gya tha mujhe? Yeh kaisi feeling hai" Daya mumbled in shock and confusion. "no….no I hate him, I'll always hate him. usne mujhe slave banaya hai, it's a sin, I'll hate him. I'll keep hating him. yeh jo kuch bhi hai, galat hai, just forget about it" and he jerked his head to shove away this unwanted spark of feeling and drew a deep breath determinedly.
The next day, Abhijeet got conscious when Rey carefully adjusted him, asking worriedly and in painc as, "Abhi! Tum… tum theek ho haan, ab kaisa feel ho rha hai, lo yeh shikanji, kyun hua aisa, main kitna darr gya tha, agar kuch ho jaata tumhe toh… kaise jeeta main… tum…."
"Shshsh…. Calm down bhai main theek hoon haan" Abhijeet calmly pressed Rey's wrist to calm his panic and fear. "Dekho kuch nhi hua mujhe I'm alright now"
"Please take care of yourself my jaan, tumhe agar kuch ho jaata toh…" Rey's voice chocked in moist biting his lips to control tears. "Anyways kuch yaad hai, peanut tumhare khaane mein kaise aaya"
Abhijeet silently stared Daya for quite a time when Rey too followed his gaze fixed on Daya. Realising the reply, Rey stood in anger when Abhijeet held back his hand, "Wo shaayad maine galti se kha liya, kisi ne kuch nhi kiya" he again glared Daya meaningfully who was in shock and surprise by Abhijeet saving him.
Rey while waking through hall ordered Anuj strictly as, "Anuj, cook ko release kar do and apologise to her and come at study area mujhe kuch important discuss karna hai" he stopped and turned to mention "aur haan Miss Aina ke house arrest ki baat Abhijeet ko pata nhi chalni chaiye got it" Anuj orderly nodded "God why he is too sensitive over these things"
In study room, Rey settled on chair resting head on head rest closing his eyes. When Anuj entered and formally bowed, "What's the important matter Sir?"
Anuj's voice get him back when sighed tiredly, "Aao Anuj, betho kuch baat karni hai" he asked Anuj to settle in weak tiring voice.
"Sir aap itne pareshaan kyun hai sab theek hai na, main kya help kar sakta hoon" Anuj concerned for Rey already sensed something bothering his mind.
"Daya ne Abhijeet ka khana spied kiya hai, Anuj" Rey revealed that shocked Anuj.
"What! Then we should punish him, he tried to…." Anuj shockingly exclaimed.
"Abhijeet will handle it I know, wo apne level pe Daya se deal kar lega kyunki aaj usne usko save kara, means he don't want me to involve between them" Rey replied.
Anuj nodded then asked Rey keenly, "kitni ki investment thi iss deal mein?"
Rey surprised and smiled slightly on his concerned, "ten crore! Please Abhijeet ko.."
"Don't worry about it, main other investments ki research karta hoon" Anuj assured him. Rey smiled a little as a thanking gesture. "aur haan the main thing which bothering you this much, jab man kare dil halka kar lena, I know yeh tiredness exhaustion ki nhi hai" saying this he left after wishing good night.
Rey didn't react just remain silent; he knew his personal secretary very well that got expertise in understood him to depth over five years of bonding of togetherness. He rested his face over the palm circling over eyebrows when threw the head over head rest and remain in same posture. he closed his eyes while Danil's those words still hunting his mind, 'Tum wo sab bhool nhi sakte kya, uss incident ko 6 saal ho gye tum…' a shade of hurt and pain reflected on his face while tears rolled from eyes. He stood in same trance and over a particular drawer of a particular cabinet, he took out a diary and flipped its pages. When with hesitation and sigh, he took a photo from it. Tears began rolling in speed seeing the photograph of teenager himself with Danil of the same age, standing having crossing arms on each other wearing a rough street style dress. He felt like losing balance having such heavy heart and storm of emotions that couldn't stand anymore and fell on knees. He couldn't control over his emotions anymore and burst out in tears, attaching photo from his chest.
"Kyun! Kyun Danil, kyun kiya tumne aisa, sab khatm kar diya tumne Danil, humaare beech jo kuch bhi tha, uss din sab khat mho gya, I couldn't forgive you; I'll not forgive you, tum mere dushman ho that's it, tum mere…. Tum mere dushman ho" and he couldn't take any further and just crying his heart out in pain and hurt.
Next morning, Rey was reading novel in room when Abhijeet sneaked silently and cuddled him. Rey smiled and caressing his hair. "Ab bilkul theek ho? Please aainda se khud ka dhyaan Rakha karo Abhi, don't be careless, agar tumhe kuch ho jaata toh, mar jaata main"
"Kya main itna bura hoon bhaiya?" Abhijeet stated silently hiding his hurt.
Rey silently stared him and cupped his face, "Tum toh bahut innocent soul ho bas Daya se apna badla le rhe ho, jab tumhari nafrat khatm ho jaayegi, you'll be normal to him" he asked meaningfully, "Abhi khaane ko Daya ne hi spy kiya tha na?
Abhijeet surprised on this. He hid his face hiding his hurt then sighed deeply, "I deserved this na bhai, someone has poised me, I think I deserve it, but please aap meri wajah se pareshaan mat hua karo, I can't see you in tension I love you so much bhai. So stop worrying about me"
He about to left the room when Rey asked concernedly, "Abhi, medicines timely le rhe ho na? Doctor warned ki agar numb pills or anxiety pills ki overdose ho gyi toh it will damage your brain and risk your life"
Abhijeet hurriedly backed his arms crossing the finger behind to avoid swear, "Haan…Haan Bhaiya main medicines time… timely le rha hoon" he fumbled a little while lying but maintained straight face. "And ya, don't wait for me tonight, I'll be in the club" he rushed from while Rey just sighed.
In the club, Abhijeet tightened the grip over glass being hurt by Daya's deed that drank whole glass in single shot. Though he owned Daya's life and could have done whatever with him but never thought in the wrong way and Daya tried to kill him. he even himself couldn't figure out why it was hurting him to the core. He kept emptying the glass of neat alcohol which slowly numbing his sense and intensified the dense of his magnificent eyes. He slowly turned towards the girl sitting beside him and hissed in extreme depth husky voice which fainted her as couldn't take his hotness and charm and sensuality. He blinked his addictive eyes while passing smooth and seductive smile. After half an hour, Raj went inside to check upon him when shocked having him missing from spot. He alertly and worriedly checked whole area in search of him but couldn't find any trace.
