CHAPTER 33: THE FORGED CHANGES

---

ACP's eyes widened a bit hearing that while his mind started to correlate the fact with the known fact to him as Daya's reaction...his words and Naveen's words cluttered his mind a bit...

His mind started to think regarding the possibility of something which was obvious in front of his eyes...

Naveen's face too tightened a bit hearing Freddy's query and Daya answers but he managed his expression and exclaimed as...

Naveen (in a soft tone): haan Freddy sir...actually mai tho bahot bigada hua baccha tha school mai...Daya sir ne hi mujhe suthara...warna mai tho...

Daya who could feel some tingling sensation...uneasiness in his heart interrupted Naveen's words with...

Daya (in a stammering tone): areee...yaar...yeh kya...purane baatein leke kyu baith gaye sab log...haan...chodo na yeh baatein...

ACP who could easily sense the uneasiness in Daya's gesture came forward with...

ACP (in agreement): haan...haan...sab jao...aur kaam karo...jao...

Everyone nodded and moved towards their desk while Naveen too moved from the place while glancing at Daya...

Daya was also about to move from the place but ACP stopped him from behind as...

ACP (in a soft tone): Daya...ek minute...zara cabin mai aao mere saath...

Daya nodded and moved behind ACP inside the cabin who without any delay asked out as...

ACP (in a firm tone): Daya...kya Naveen ko tum ne hi jail bheja tha...

Daya was taken aback hearing ACP's straight shot question and he looked at him in a bewildered expression...

Yes...Daya had sent him to the jail years ago by placing a complaint against him when they were in school as students...

Actually Naveen was Daya's school junior who was a spoiled rugged brat of a wealthy family with no bad habits left to be done...

He teases everyone...especially girls...do ragging...get involved in the fights...had lots and lots of bad habits and what not...

He was always being a big headache...problem to everyone even their teachers...who were also highly irritated and frustrated because of him...

Many of the students have even gone into depression...many change the school because of him as no one dares to make him leave the school because of his wealthy background...

He was roaming and doing whatever he want until he did something drastic and dreadful with Rudra...

Rudra was from the same orphanage of Daya's...who was like a little brother to Daya became prey to Naveen's ragging...

The ragging turned to be worst and dreadful which ultimately cause the death of Rudra who committed suicide...

Rudra's death cause shock wave along the whole school and was blown off as a storm in Daya's life...

It literally took a few months for Daya to recover even from the shock completely...he couldn't digest the bitter truth that Rudra has left them forever...

Before Daya could even recover himself from the shock another shocker attacked him when the police was about to close the case by framing it as suicide happened because of inability to handle study pressure...

But Daya didn't let it happen...he brought the whole truth in front of everyone beyond which Naveen's family couldn't do anything...

Naveen got arrested...Daya could still remember how vengeance filled Naveen's eyes were...when he was taken to the jail...

But when the case came to the court Naveen's family played well...his family background helped to manage the case and they totally hide Naveen's involvement in the ragging and Rudra's suicide...

The school who was worried only about their fame didn't care about Rudra who just an orphan...obviously there was no one for him...which makes them easily to remove Naveen's name from his suicide...

The others students involved with Naveen in that case where obviously punished but Naveen escaped the case...they proved him innocent and released him from the jail and case...

Daya tried a lot to punish Naveen with the help of orphanage in charge but they couldn't stand in front of Naveen's wealth...

After that Naveen's father send him to abroad immediately...Naveen threat to destroy Daya's life for going against him before going abroad...

That was the last day...he met him...after that day he was meeting Naveen today only...who seems to be a completely different person...

Today...He looks decent...professional...most importantly he looks like a police officer...

Surprisingly he was talking with him in a good manner and most importantly his eyes were not seems to be vengeance filled...they were mysteriously calm and composed...

Daya didn't even recover from this shock while ACP gave another shock by raising this straight shot query...but Daya while trying to recover himself from the shock...

Daya (in a low tone): haan sir...actually Rudra...mera bhai jaisa tha...jisska issne...(after a pause)...socha nahi tha ki isske saath phir se mulakat hoga...wo bhi aise...

ACP (in guilt): I am sorry Daya...mujhe maloom nahi tha...matlab...jab isske proposal aaya tho maine isske baare mai sab check kiya...isske track record bhi accha tha training ke wakt tho...maine le liya...magar aise kuch hoga yeh maine socha nahi tha...(after a pause)...mai kaam kar tha hu...HQ mai baat kar ke isske transfer...

Daya (interrupted in a defending tone as): nahi sir...please...aap aise kyu...please aise safai de ke mujhe sharmida mat kijiye...mai jaan tha hu ki aap jo bhi karege wo bikul sahi hoga...aur agar aap ne Naveen ko validate kiya hai...tho wo sach mai accha bann gaya hoga...aur sir...aap hi keha the ho na ki har koi ek dusra mauka deserve kar tha hai...tho yeh kyu nahi...

ACP looked at Daya with an unsaid expression and was about to say something but Daya continued as...

Daya (in a soft tone): sir...mai sach keha raha hu...mujhe koi problem nahi hai...matlab ab wo yahan kaam kar ne aaya hai...wo aap na kaam karega aur mai aap na...that's it...mai mann tha hu ki usse dekh ke wo saare cheezein yaad aayega jarur...par I'll manage...kyuki ab mai kissi bhi mai past mai bikul nahi reha na chatha...issliye aap mere baare mai soch ke pareshan mat huyiye...please...aur Naveen ko kaam kar ne dijiye yahan...

ACP looked at Daya for a second in an emotional manner seeing his maturity and then while nodding in positive patted his shoulder in proudness without saying anything...

Daya smiled broadly and then came out of the cabin and moved straight towards his desk when Naveen came near him with...

Naveen (in a low tone): sir...I know aap ko mujhe dekh ke kaisa lag raha hoga...past mai maine jo bhi kiya usske liya sorry bahot chota sabth hai...issliye wo nahi boluga...magar yeh jarur keha na chahuga ki maine jo bhi kiya usske liye bahot bahot sharmida hu...bahot guilty bhi hu...aur mai apne galati ke prayashit bhi kar na chatha hu sir...aur issliye hi mai police mai join kar ne ka socha...phir aap ko dekh ke CID mai aagaya...

Daya who could feel a painful arousal in his throat didn't say anything while Naveen continued as...

Naveen (in a firm tone): I know aap ko mujh paye bharosa kar na asaan nahi hoga...kaam hi kuch aisa kar rakha hai maine...magar ab se aap ek naye Naveen ko dikhoge...ab mai ek acche insaan...sache CID officer bann ke dikhauga...jo galati maine kiya tha usse kissi aur ke saath nahi hone duga...I promise sir...I promise...

Saying this Naveen left the place leaving Daya spell bound...who got drowned in deep thoughts regarding his words...and his behavior...

On the other side...

In the healthy life hospital...

Abhijeet was moving along the corridor of the hospital doing his routine checking for everything all over the hospital...

On the way he noticed Mihir teaching some topic to the junior doctors and clearing their doubts in a polite manner...

A smile automatically erupted on Abhijeet's face seeing the visible yet highly positive changes in Mihir after his confrontation with him...(Refer chapter 24)...

Everyone recognized the change in him...at first everyone were bewildered and shock...but gradually they started to accept it...appreciate it...

Mihir who started to behave according to Abhijeet's words just because of his threat to reveal the truth...gradually started to do everything from his heart seeing everyone's positive yet respectful approach with him which he never got before...

Even though everyone appreciates his change in behavior...Dev and Satya couldn't help getting suspicious over him...especially on his calm acceptance of Abhijeet as CEO without any hurdle and even giving the proper respect for him and his post...

They tried to find the reason but couldn't find anything useful...they even asked Abhijeet who started to appreciate Mihir instead leaving them in frustration...

Abhijeet while plastering the same smile started to move towards his cabin...upon entering the cabin he could see Dev already standing there who started to exclaim as...

Dev (in a firm tone): tum yahan kya kar rahe ho...ek din aaram nahi kar sakthe the ghar paye...

Abhijeet who was already expecting Dev and his this particular question smiled broadly exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a soft tone): meeting tha na yaar...

Dev (in a firm tone): par wo sir handle kar le the na...

Abhijeet (in a soft tone): haan kar le the...magar yeh meeting CEO ke liye tha na...uss mai naa aana...accha nahi lagega...issliye...

Dev made a frustrated yet disappointed expression hearing that while Abhijeet making a hesitant face asked out as...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): Dev...wo...sach mai kal...mai behosh hoke hi gira tha kya?...haan...kuch aur...

Dev who felt a rising restlessness in his heart masked it immediately with an highly annoyed expression and exclaimed as...

Dev (in an annoyed tone): Abhijeet...kya yaar...kal se hazar baar puch chuke ho yeh sawal...aur mai bhi yeh keha keha ke thak gaya hu ki tum sach much weakness ke waja se hi behosh hoke gire the stairs se...magar tum maan hi nahi rahe ho...iss mai jhooth bol ke kya karuga mai bolo...aur waise bhi agar maine sach bol diya hotha sab se tho kya wo log aise normal reha pathe...nahi na...phir...

Abhijeet (in a defending tone): haan yaar...I know...wo bas mai...wo mujhe kuch yaad nahi aaraha tha tho...issliye mai bas confirm kar raha hu tum se...

Dev (in a low tone): waise tho tume uss halat mai dekh ne ke baad sach mai laga tha ki sab ko sach baata du...(in frustration)...magar kya karu...baata nahi saktha na...dhamki tho jo de rakhe hai tum ne...

Abhijeet made a emotional expression seeing his friend's frustration...he while sighing deeply pressed his shoulder with...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): I am sorry yaar...tume...tume itna majboor kar ne ke liye...aur thanks...sab ko sach naa baata ne ke liye...aur mera saath de ne ke liye...

Dev looked at Abhijeet in pain hearing that for a second and then chuckled out sarcastically and started to exclaim as...

Dev (in a sarcastic yet painful tone): aise saath de ne se jyada badhkismat kissi bhi dost ke liye nahi hoga Abhijeet...tum ne...mujh se aur Siddharth se dost hone ka bahot accha keemat maanga hai...ek aisa keemat jo hum jindagi baar chukege...guilt mai dhub ke...

Abhijeet made a painful expression hearing that and was about to say something but Dev continued as...

Dev (in pain): aur apne parivaar walo se yeh sach chupa ke...unnse bhi tum se pyaar kar ne keemat maang rahe ho...bahot accha hai...matlab...tume kya lag tha hai...tum aise hi iss beemari ke chale ek din chale jaoge duniya chod ke chup chap...haan...tume lag tha hai ki achanaak se...asaani se sab hojayega...tume kissko bhi face nahi kar na padhega...haan...

Abhijeet who was looking at Dev with a cracked eyes lowered his gaze with that while Dev continued as...

Dev (in a stern tone): lekin aisa nahi ho paayega Abhijeet...aise bikul nahi ho paayega...and you idiot...you know this very well...jaise jaise tumor badhega...tere symptoms bhi badega...tum jaise ab khud ko manage kar rahe ho...waise handle nahi kar paoge...tab tume kuch baata ne ke jaruraat nahi padhega...kyuki...sab khud samne aajayega...aur tab...tab naa tum bol ne ke layak rahoge...aur naa hi hum...aur tab tum kya karoge...bolo...haan...

Abhijeet who didn't get what to say just looked at Dev in complete helplessness and speechlessness while Dev continued to exclaim as...

Dev (in pain): aur tab sab ko aur dard bhi hoga...tut jaayege sab log...aur yaad rakh na wo din jyada dur nahi hai...kyuki mai dekh raha hu ki tumare saath kya kya horaha hai...aur tum kya kya kar rahe ho...dekh raha hu sab...(in pain)...sirf dekh raha hu...ek jinda laash ke tara...

Abhijeet looked at Dev in a jerk hearing that and his heart broken into pieces seeing the amount of pain in Dev's eyes...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): Dev...mai...

Dev who knew that Abhijeet has nothing to say except some silly useless consolations stopped him by rising his hand with...

Dev (in a firm tone): no thanks Abhijeet...it's okay...I know what will you say...sorry...I am not interested in hurting myself more...so...leave it...

Abhijeet made a painful expression while Dev remembering something cleared his eyes asked out as...

Dev (in a managed tone): Daya se baat huyi tumara...theek chal raha hai usska pehale din...

Abhijeet who was drowning in pain became confused hearing Dev's query...so he asked out as...

Abhijeet (in confusion): pehale din...kya...wo tho...

Abhijeet stopped abruptly in the middle of his words remembering the important thing he forgot completely...

He while frowning in tension remembering that took his phone in restlessness to check the remainder as he didn't hear any remainder tone from the morning...

His eyes widened in shock and frustration seeing the phone in silent mode which might had happened accidentally...because of which he didn't get any remainder regarding that day...

He remember the meeting somehow that was why he didn't check the phone from morning...but he forgot the most important thing...

But How...how the hell he forgot this...how...

He turned highly frustrated and out of the frustration was about to threw the phone in a force but stopped abruptly seeing and remembering Dev's presence who was looking at him with a disappointed yet pain filled gaze...

Abhijeet's frustration got over shadowed by restlessness and embarrassment in seconds seeing that gaze as it was clearly emitting the pain...

He while trying to control his frustration by increasing his grip over the phone and lowered his raised hand and was about say something in defense...

But Dev who was already at the top of frustration and disappointment over his friend moved out of the cabin without giving any chance for him to speak...

Abhijeet who turned more frustrated seeing that just closed his eyes in frustration and pain...as he could get from his friend's silent departure that how much his friend was hurt because of all his antics...

To add ghee to his anger over himself he has forgotten his brother's special day and thereby obviously he hurt his brother's feelings too...

He banged his hand over the table in frustration over himself for hurting everyone...because of his antics and disease...

He was feeling more and more frustrating thinking that how he could forget such a important thing...how...

He knew that he couldn't repair anything now...he couldn't rectify his absence in the morning with his brother on his rejoining day to at least wish him...

Unable to handle his guilt and frustration he just dialed his brother's number in a hurry to seek an apology with a highly distressed face...

On the other side...

In the CID bureau...

Daya was sitting on his desk holding a file in his hand but deeply engulfed by the thoughts of the scratch that happened from the past...

The encounter with Naveen after these many years has revived the wound in heart by making him remember Rudra and his drastic death...

He never forgot Rudra ever...That innocent soul who has always been a reason for his smile as same as Abhir after all those mess happened in his life...

The thoughts of Rudra and all the sweet memory with him never fail to bring smile on his face...

But today he was only getting the memory of his sufferings and death...He couldn't help getting engulfed by the thoughts of his death which got solely triggered with Naveen's presence...

While Daya drowning deep in these thoughts his phone started to ring which he took and attended absent mindedly with...

Daya (in a lost tone): Senior Inspec...

His words struck in his throat itself when he heard his brother's voice from other side as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): sorry...sorry...so sorry Rock star....mai...mai patha nahi kaise...kaise bhool gaya...tumare rejoining day...mujhe patha hi nahi chala...abhi yaad aaya...sorry yaar...so sorry...mai...

Daya who was totally pulled out of the engulfed pain hearing brother's guilty words interrupted his brother's train of blabber with...

Daya (in a pacifying tone): Macron...Macron...relax yaar...relax...it's okay mere bhai...it's totally fine...calm down yaar...

Abhijeet (in frustration): kaise calm down...how could I forget...mai...itne badi baat kaise bhool saktha hu...kaise...mai kaisa bhai hu Rock star...I am totally insane...I am just...

Daya (in a pacifying tone): areee...yaar...Macron...shant hojao...yeh kya...kuch bhi bole jaa rahe ho tum tho...haan...ek choti si baat hi tho bhoole ho...isske liye itne bade bade baatein kyu...

Abhijeet (in frustration): yeh choti baat nahi hai...mai itne important day paye tume wish tak nahi kiya...bhool ke yahan aagaya...tume kitna bura laga hoga...

Daya (in defending tone): areee...maine kab kaha ki mujhe bura laga hai...haan...areee...mai kya pehali baar bureau aaraha hu...nahi na...aur tab bhi...tujhe koi important kaam aajaye...tho tum kya kar sakthe ho...haan...issliye breathe...

Getting no answer from Abhijeet's side Daya nodded his head in disappointment and exclaimed as...

Daya (in a soft tone): dekho...manna ki...tume ghar mai naa paake pareshan jarur hogaya tha...magar mai tere bhool jaane ke liye bikul bhi naraz nahi hu...sach mai...mai naraz tho tum se kissi aur waja se hu...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): kya...magar kyu...aur kya kiya maine...

Daya (in an annoyed tone): yeh kiya...aur kya kar na tha bhai...kisse puch ke gaadi ko haath lagaya tum ne...haan...kaha tha na maine tum se saath mai chalege...phir kyu tum khud gaadi chala ke gaye...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): wo...ek jaruri...meeting tha...tho...

Daya (in a sten tone): haan tho driver bhaiya ko leke chal the...tume khud chala ne ke kya jaruraat hai...haan...at least mujh se tho bol de the...mai aajaatha na...magar tum tho...

Abhijeet (in a defending tone): tume kaise le chal tha...kaha tha na maine...tum kuch dino ke liye gaadi nahi chala sakthe...aur...

Daya (in an annoyed tone): yeh accha hai...matlab tum duffer kal stairs se gir ke aaj gaadi chala ke akele jaa sakthe ho...mai 2 mahine purane chot...jo theek ho bhi gaya hai usske waja se nahi chala saktha...escort ke saath jau...hai na...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): haan wo yeh sab tho chote mote...

Daya (in anger): khabarthar Macron...wo tere trade mark words ko bol na bhi mat...samjhe...aur yeh bhi samjh lo ki mai tere koi baat nahi mann ne wala hu...aur...

Abhijeet (in tension): matlab...tum khud gaadi chala ke gaya...kya hai Rock star...kaha tho tha ki...

Daya (in anger): ohhhh...tum yeh sapna bhi dekh rahe ho ki tumare chamche sab mujhe gaadi chala ne dege...come on bro...Mumma Papa pure script ke saath tayyar the...dono tere naam bol bol ke bureau chod ke gaye jaise aaj mere LKG ke first day ho...aur kaha hai ki shaam ko...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): shaam ko mai aauga tume le ne...theek hai...

Daya (in a defending tone): Macron...dekh yeh...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): mai puch nahi raha hu...sirf baata raha hu...shaam ko mil the hai...bye...

Saying this Abhijeet disconnected the call without waiting for Daya's answer who started to smile in disappointment while looking at the phone...

In the evening...

At the CID bureau...

Daya was coming out of the bureau while biding bye to everyone when Naveen himself moved towards Daya and wished him good bye...

Daya somehow managed the emotional rush and just nodded slightly with low bye and then moved towards the parking area...

There he was welcomed by Abhir who was standing with a shocked expression seeing and recognizing Naveen...

Daya who understood Abhir's gaze move towards him in a hurry and was about to say something but Abhir exclaimed as...

Abhir (in a stammering tone): Daya...yeh tho wo...bakmas Naveen...yeh...yahan...

Daya while glancing at Naveen who was igniting his car...nodded in positive and exclaimed as...

Daya (in a low tone): haan...wo ab yehi kaam kar raha hai...CID officer hai wo...

Abhir (in shock): kya...matlab...CID mai...ab khooni ko bhi lene lag gaye hai...yaar...aise kaise...haan...aur tum itne shant kaise ho...tume tho...

Daya who understood that Abhir would create hungama for sure if he let him here for some more time dragged him inside the car with...

Daya (in a low tone): Abhir...chalo...

Abhir (in anger): Daya...tum...

Daya (in a firm tone): chalo na Abhir...mai tume sab raaste mai samjha tha hu...chalo...

Saying this Daya somehow pulled Abhir into the car and they both started the journey towards the home...

On the way Daya narrated everything happened from the morning regarding Naveen hearing which Abhir exclaimed as...

Abhir (in anger): Kya Daya...ACP sir ne khud kaha hai...phir bhi tum...bhej the the na usse kahi aur...kyu tum...

Daya (in a soft tone): Abhir...calm down yaar...mai apne personal issues ke chal the ACP sir ko takleef nahi paucha saktha...upar se ACP sir ne isske saare records check kiya...hosaktha hai na ki...

Abhir (in anger): seriously Daya...yaar...mujhe uss ke baatao paye aur attitude paye zara sa bhi bharosa nahi hai...isske suthar ne ke ek percent bhi chance nahi hosaktha...yeh sab jarur natak hoga...aur please tum usske chal mai phas mat jaana...

Daya (in a soft tone): yaar...tum jyada soch rahe ho...wo mere liye sirf ek officer hai...bas...mai usse jyada kuch nahi soch ne wala hu...in fact mujhe usske yahan hone se koi farak nahi padh tha...

Abhir (in taunting tone): ohhh really...wo tho tere chehre paye saaf dikh raha hai ki tume kitna farak nahi padh raha hai...

Daya (in a low tone): yaar...mann tha hu ki abhi bahot farak padh raha hai...lekin adaat hojayega...tum tension mat lo...

Abhir (in tension): kaise tension naa lo...ussne jo kuch bhi kiya tha...wo sab...(after a pause)...upar se wo tume dhamki bhi diya tha...yaad hai na tujhe...dekh...jyada tho nahi bholuga...magar careful reha na...hmm...

Daya (in a managed tone): okay bhai...okay...ab yeh sab chodo bhi...hmmm...yeh baatao ki Macron ne tume kitne baar message kiya...

Abhir's tensed face turned into an annoyed one in seconds hearing that...following which he exclaimed as...

Abhir (in frustration): areee...yaar...pucho mat...wo 100 baar call...aur hazar baar message kar chuka hai...itne calls aur messages tho mujhe Sneha ne bhi nahi bheja hai kabhi...

Daya chuckled out hearing that while Abhir making more annoyed expression exclaimed as...

Abhir (in frustration): ho kya gaya tere bhai ko...haan...matlab...maine bol diya ki mai tume time paye pick kar luga...don't worry...magar wo shant hua hi nahi...OT jaane tak call aur messages kar tha raha...OT mai phone allowed nahi hai na...issliye patha hai kya kiya bhaishab ne...apne junior se keha ke inform kar raha tha mujhe abhi tak...seriously...

Daya (in a sad tone): yaar...wo kuch nahi...bas wo subha bhool gaya tha ki mai aaj rejoin kar raha hu...tabhi phone kar ke kar sorry paye..sorry bol raha tha...aur kaha ki shaam ko wahi aayega mujhe pick kar ne...magar...ab usse ek emergency case aagaya...ab bhi nahi aapaaya tho aur tension mai aagaya...maine keha diya ki mai manage kar luga...magar ussne tume call kar diya...

Abhir (in tension): lekin iss mai itna tensed and restless hone ke kya baat hai...matlab...(in worry)...yaar...wo theek tho hai na Daya...

Daya (in confusion): kyu...tum aise kyu puch rahe ho...haan...

Abhir (in a managed tone): nahi matlab...patha nahi aaj jaise ussne mujh se baat kiya...jaise baar baar remind kar raha tha...restless horaha tha...mujhe bahot ajeeb laga...matlab...itni si baat paye itna pareshan hona...

Daya (in a soft tone): yaar...tum bhi na...tum tho jaan the ho na usse...har baat ke liye khud ko pareshan nahi karega tho usske din nahi nikalega...wo bas subha ke baat se stressed hai...issliye aise...kar diya hoga...mai...mai...baat kar luga uss se...hmm...

Abhir (in a low tone): accha...tum keha rahe ho tho theek hai...

Daya smiled slightly but internally Abhir's words and his brother's behavior started to scratch his heart...

After few more days...

In the highway...

Daya was riding back to home in his bike from the bureau after a very very long time...

Yes...today only his brother and family grant him permission to ride in his bike to the bureau...

The road was empty and silent enough to make a bike ride to be soothing and beautiful...as the road was lined between the trees of the forest...

But Daya was not seems to be enjoying the ride...he seems to be worried and distressed as his mind was totally engulfed with the thoughts of his brother and some other things...

Yes...his brother...after that conversation with Abhir only Daya started to realize the unusual behavior of Abhijeet...

All these days he was thinking that his brother was in pain and hurt only because of their father's indifferent behavior towards him...

But now he could realize that it was not the sole reason for his brother's gloomy yet devastated state because now he could notice some other things which he couldn't or didn't notice before...

He could see that his brother was always in some kind of tension...irritation or restlessness...he was still in that phase...

He still avoid spending much time with him and family...mostly stay in the hospital rarely comes home early...

He knew and understand very well that doctor profession has no time limit...they should be available for 24/7...

But his brother's availability was abnormal...he feels like Abhijeet was purposely...most probably...sitting unnecessarily at hospital some times even without any work...

Even if he was at home...he preferred to be at their room...doing something on his laptop in a endless manner...

The thing made him worried to the core was the list of remainders he noticed in Abhijeet's phone today morning...

He was shocked and when he asked regarding this to Abhijeet he just replied as..."It's just a precautious...kuch chud gaya tho..."

He was least satisfied with his brother's answer...but when he tried to ask him more he excused and escaped the scene as usual...

But Daya decided not to let the matter go...he decided to dig the matter today...he decided to talk with his brother today at any cost...

While thinking all these he was driving the bike smoothly in a well cautious manner...when he noticed a car following him for a quiet long time...

Actually he was having a feeling like someone being following him for a past few days...when he was coming along with either Abhijeet...Abhir or his parents...

He tried to confirm it but couldn't get or he himself see anything useful...but today this car following seems to be obvious...

Daya frowned a bit but he maintained his drive straight while slightly glancing at the car in a suspicious way in between...

Suddenly a truck appeared from the front in a speed and headed towards him in a rash as if trying to thrash him with his bike...

Daya who already guessed something wrong around him...immediately acted and escaped the truck's aim by taking the bike into the side of the road...

But he couldn't control his bike more than that which ultimately ended up in hitting over a tree and he fall off the along with his bike...

Thank fully his bike and he escaped the major accident...both got the scratches only from falling...

Daya's forehead got injured with pebbles scattered on the tree side and he got lots of abrasions here and there all over his body because of the harsh landing...

He somehow trying to revive himself got up ignoring his pain and looked for the truck which was no where to be seen as he expected...

While nodding in frustration Daya took up his bike while mourning slightly in pain and checked for it's well being too...

After recovering himself and his bike...Daya sat on his bike and was about to start it...but got blocked by the car...which was following him till a few seconds ago...

Before he could react a few masked men came out of the car with sticks...rod and knife in their hand...

Daya who was already expecting such a scenario smiled sarcastically and got off his bike and asked the goons to come in action while giving them a sarcastic look...

The frustration of the goons could be seen beyond their mask seeing Daya's attitude...they run towards Daya in the attacking mode without knowing the fact that they were running towards their death...

Within a few minutes all the goons could be seen lying on the road while mourning badly in pain while Daya could be seen standing in between them with a casual face...

While taking a deep breathe Daya moved towards one of the goon and held him by collar and exclaimed as...

Daya (in a firm tone): mil gaya na prasand...ab baata...kaun ho tum log...haan...kissne bheja hai tum sab ko...baata jaldi...

Instead of answering the goon tried to free himself from Daya's grip while Daya chuckled out seeing his efforts and exclaimed as...

Daya (in a firm tone): chalo...mai khud hi dekh tha hu ki aakir tum log hai kaun...

Saying this Daya was about to remove the goon's mask who somehow released himself Daya's grip and started to run towards the car followed by the other goons...

Daya who got mis balanced with the jerk somehow revived himself and tried to move behind the goons but they already entered the car and ignited it...

Before Daya could reach the car the goons rushed out of the place as if saving their lives in total hurry...

Daya tried to see the number plate which was not even present as expected...seeing which he made a frustrated expression and stammered his leg hard on the road with...

Daya (in frustration): damn it...nikal gaye...ab patha kaise chalega ki yeh log kaun hai...aur kissike aadmi hai...

Daya's frustrated face turned into a painful one feeling the pain and burning sensation in all the wounds...

Feeling which he jerked his head and hands slightly and moved towards his bike and then drove towards the nearby hospital to treat himself...

After sometimes...

At the Khurana Mansion...

Daya could seen sitting in the couch of the hall with bandages all over the body with a tired face while looking at his family members who were in hungama mode from the moment he entered the house...

Their shock and worried reaction turned into an angry one once he exclaim what has happened with him...

Obviously he lied...he lied to them that his bike got skid on the road and he fall off...and that was enough for the family to get angry...

They...especially Bhoomika and Atharv who were already against his poor bike...now totally turned into anti bike ride mode...

Daya tried a lot to calm them down but no one was in the mood to listen to him...they all decided to put his bike in the garage forever...they decided to separate the lovebirds...

While Daya was apologizing to his lovable bike internally for putting the blame for the mistake it didn't even done...the family was in rush...

Bhoomika and Kavya were preparing turmeric milk for him while Gayatri was doing prayers and putting kaala tikka on him to clear off the bad eyes over him...

Atharv was speaking with some of showroom manager to order a brand new car for him while siblings were giving ideas for new car in between his call...

Daya who couldn't tolerate anything more than that...losing all his patience pulled out Atharv's phone and cut the call with...

Daya (in frustration): Papa...come on na...kya sab kya hai...ab nayi car ke kya jaruraat hai...aisa kya hogaya hai jo aap log aise...

Bhoomika (in frustration): aur kya hona hai...haan...yeh sab kaafi nahi hai...dekho...pehale hi mujhe tere bike mai jaana acchi nahi lag rahi thi...aur dekho...mera dar sahi bhi nikala...issliye ab se tera bike ride bandh...ab tum car mai hi jaoge...samjhe...

Daya made a frustrated face and was about to say something but Atharv interrupted him and exclaimed as...

Atharv (in agreement): haan Champ...yeh bike ride seems to be risky...dekho kitne chot lagege hai...so please...zid mat karo...let me book the car...

Saying this Atharv pulled the phone from Daya's hand and dialled to the number again while Bhoomika moved towards Daya with...

Bhoomika (in a firm tone): tum khade kyu ho...haan...baitho...aur yeh lo...isse piyo...

Daya sat on the couch with a grumpy face and started to drink the milk in extreme frustration and anger over the goons who had separated him from his lovable bike...

After some more sometimes...

At the Khurana Mansion...

After lots of hungama...Daya somehow calmed down his family and made them gather around him to play antakshari...just to have a chance in the mood...

Everyone gradually started to enjoy the game while Daya was looking at the door step constantly for the arrival of his brother...

By the time the desired person entered the house while talking to someone over the phone with a highly exhausted yet frustrated face...

He disconnected the call and was about to move towards the stairs in a tired manner without noticing his whole family sitting in the hall...

Daya made a disappointed face seeing that and was about to call him but Naina who also noticed Abijeet called him out as...

Naina (in a loud tone): ohhhh...hello...Bhaishab...kahan jaa rahe ho...dikh nahi raha hai ki hum log yahan baithe hai...

Abhijeet who stopped hearing Naina's voice turned towards her side in a tired manner and exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): sorry Sweety...wo thoda kaam ke baare mai soch ke jaa raha tha tho...

Naina (in tease): haan...haan...patha hai...aapke kaam ka...lekin ab ussko thoda break do...aur chalo...aajao...hum antakshari khel the hai thoda...

Abhijeet who was actually tired and frustrated to the core because of the high headache and extreme tiredness just denied as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): nahi Sweety...mera mann nahi hai...tum log...tum log...khelo...

Naina (in a snubbing tone): kya Bhai...jab dekho aise kar the rahe the ho...aap ke mann kya sirf kaam ke liye hotha hai...haan...chalo aao...

Abhijeet who was already much irritated because of the headache...started to feel more irritating hearing that...but he somehow controlling himself exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): dekho...Sweety...samjho baccha...mujhe abhi...

Naina (interrupted in an annoyed tone): mujhe kuch nahi sunn na...jab dekho kaam...kaam...bas bahot hogaya...aap chup chap aao yahan...aur...

Abhijeet who could feel a throbbing headache which was killing him like anything...couldn't hold up his irritation more than that which he just vent it out in a flow as...

Abhijeet (in frustration): kya hai Naina...keha raha hu na ki mann nahi hai...kyu mujhe aise pareshan kar rahe ho...haan...tume khel na hai tho khelo na...mai baccha nahi hu jo yeh sab khel the rahuga...

Saying this Abhijeet stormed towards his room with the same frustrated expression and hard steps leaving everyone shocked...

They couldn't even react for a second as the shock and disbelief were more than enough to handle by them...

For the first time...for the first time they were seeing Abhijeet speaking like this...that too with Naina with whom he didn't even speak in a high tone...in fact he didn't even let anyone speak in a high tone with her...

But today...he talked with her in such a manner...no one could digest the event happened a few seconds ago...

Naina got badly affected with his brother's harsh words...her eyes welled with tears in no time...unable to handle her emotions she rushed towards her room while crying bitterly...

Srishti and Krishna followed Naina to her room in worry while Daya looked at his brother's way in complete worry and tension...

He was also shocked seeing his brother's behavior...more than shocked he was worried as his brother's exhausted face hit him more than his irritation...

He felt it was a high time to talk with his brother and know what the hell was the thing bothering him...

While Daya was deciding this...the family finally react reviving themselves from the shock exclaimed as...

Atharv (in worry): ho kya gaya hai Abu ko...aise baat kar tha hai kya bacchi se...dekh wo kaise...

Bhoomika (in a defending tone): nahi Atharv...lag tha hai kaam ke waja se pareshan hai...issliye aise...mai baat kar tha hu usse...

Daya (in a firm tone): nahi Mumma...aap log Sweety ko dekho...mai...mai baat kar tha hu Macron se...

On the other side...

Inside Abhijeet's room...

Abhijeet gulped down a few more tablets to ease the headache while making a highly irritated yet frustrated face...

His own harsh words through which he expelled out of frustration on his innocent sister was haunting him like anything...

Feeling highly frustrated over himself he literally threw away the glass of water in his hand in a rage while exclaiming as...

Abhijeet (in anger): yeh kya kar diya maine...Sweety ke sath aise kaise...kaise baat kar saktha hu...aise...kaise...kaisa bhai hu mai...kaise...

Saying this he stammered his leg hard and then took the pillow and threw it away in the same force in extreme anger with...

Abhijeet (in anger): arghhhh...apne frustration ko handle kyu nahi kar paya mai...kyu...usse bichari bacchi paye nikal diya...usska dil dukha diya...how could I do this...how could I...

At the top of frustration he took a vase and was about to throw it too but stopped hearing Daya saying as...

Daya (in a firm tone): niche Sweety ke dil todh ke aaya hai...wo kaafi nahi tha jo ab yeh saare cheezein bhi todh rahe ho...haan...

Abhijeet felt a blow in his heart hearing that kept the vase on the table harder and then turned towards Daya with...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): Rock star...tum...

His words got struck in his throat seeing Daya's condition which he didn't notice till then...

His heart got spell bound seeing his brother having lots of bandages and bruises all over the body...

Abhijeet who became restless in seconds seeing that rushed towards Daya in a haphazard way with...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): yeh...yeh sab kya hai Rockstar...yeh chot sab kaise laga tum ko...haan...

Daya (in tease): areee wahhh...tume tho badi jaldi patha chal gaya ki mujhe chot laga hai...matlab...yeh frustration aur gusse ke partha uth gaya tere aankhon se...haan...

Abhijeet who was more worried regarding Daya's injuries ignoring his taunts asked out again in high tension as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): yeh itne chot laga...kaise...haan...hua kya hai...batana mujhe...

Daya (in frustration): areee...pehale tum baatana ki tume kya hua hai...haan...ho kya gaya hai tume...yeh aise dukhi aatma bann ke kyu ghum rahe ho tum...aur yeh itna tensed...frustrated...aur restless kyu reha the ho humesha...haan...bolo...

Abhijeet was taken aback for a second hearing the query while Daya continued to exclaim as...

Daya (in tension): pehale tho mujhe laga ki tum Papa ke waja se aise ho...magar mai galat tha... kyuki tum ab bhi tho aise hi ho na...ab bhi tum ghar mai reha the hi nahi ho...humesha wahan hospital mai hi padhe reha the ho...jab dekho pareshan raha the ho...restless reha the ho...aur aaj kal yeh frustration bhi...yeh sab kya hai Macron...haan...aisa kya hogaya hai jo tum...

Daya's words left in a air abruptly seeing Abhijeet burst into tears all of sudden...he sat on the bed with a thud and started to cry more and more bitterly...

Seeing him crying like this all of sudden Daya became perplexed...he turned tensed in seconds and in tension he sat beside Abhijeet with...

Daya (in tension): Macron...kya hua...kyu ro rahe ho itna...haan...baata na yaar...kuch hua hai kya...haan...kya hua...kyu tum aise...

Abhijeet (in teary yet frustrated tone): patha nahi Rock star...patha nahi ki...kya hogaya hai mujhe...kyu aise barthaf kar raha hu...mujhe kuch samjh nahi aaraha hai...mai tho...mai tho aap logo khush dekhna chatha hu...har wakt yehi khoshsis kar tha hu ki aap log hurt naa ho mere waja se...magar patha nahi mai...har baar...har baar sab ko hurt kaise kar de tha hu...

Daya made a tensed yet defending expression hearing that while Abhijeet who was under the emotional distress and disturbance which was also a symptom of the brain tumor continued to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): patha nahi mai kyu kuch bhi theek se nahi kar paaraha hu...mai sab perfectly kar na chatha hu...har pal yeh soch the reha tha hu ki kuch chut naa jaye mujh se...magar phir bhi sab kuch ulta hoyi jaatha hai...koi na koi hurt hoyi jaathe hai...aur mai chaha kar bhi kuch bhi nahi lar paa raha hu...I am totally helpless Rock star...patha nahi mai kaise...sab...manage...I don't know how to manage everything...I am just...just...

Abhijeet held in head out of frustration and distress while Daya who couldn't get the head and tail of Abhijeet's words looked at his brother in an utterly confused manner and worry...

For the first time in his life he couldn't understand his brother's problem from his words...he could feel the tension...helplessness from his brother's words but he couldn't understand anything more than that...

Daya while trying to manage his tension and worry pressed Abhijeet's shoulder softly and started to exclaim as...

Daya (in a low tone): Macron...yaar...I am sorry...lekin yaar mujhe kuch samjh nahi aaraha hai...matlab mujhe samjh nahi aaraha hai ki tum kiss baare mai baat kar rahe ho...matlab kya handle nahi horaha hai...kya manage nahi kar paa rahe ho tum...haan...

Abhijeet who was pulled out of the emotional dilemma in a seconds hearing that worried query realized what he was saying out of emotional disturbance...

He turned restless...he has to manage the situation at any cost otherwise he would definitely get caught...he while trying to manage his restlessness tried to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): Rock star...wo tho...mai...mai yeh CEO post ki baat...baat kar raha hu...matlab yeh mujh se theek se handle nahi horaha hai...mai...mai khoshsis tho kar tha hu sab theek se kar ne ki...magar kuch naa kuch chut jaa tha hai...aur mai aise frustrated hojaata hu...patha nahi mai kaise...

Daya (in shock): are you serious Macron...tum isske baat kar rahe the...matlab tum iske liye itna pareshan ho rahe the...frustrated horahe the...seriously yaar...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): haan...isske liye pareshan tha...aur pareshan kyu naa ho...sab theek se kar na chahiye na...agar kuch galat hogaya tho hospital ke future paye aasar padhega aur...

Daya (in a managed tone): yeh tum kya bol rahe ho Macron...tum kab se itna negatively soch ne lag gaye...haan...yaar manna ki yeh CEO koi chote mote post nahi hai...bahot responsible aur hard to handle type ka hi hai...mai samjh tha hu...lekin yaar...har kaam mai...har cheez ke starting mai galatiyon hona normal hai...matlab galati kar ke hi tho seekhege na hum sab...tum kya paida hi CEO ban ke huye the...nahi na...phir...

Abhijeet looked at Daya with an unsaid expression hearing that while Daya continued to exclaim as...

Daya (in a soft tone): yaar...khud ko thoda wakt do...sab samjh ne ke liye...sab plan kar ne ke liye...analyze kar ne ke liye...sab ke liye wakt do...dheere dheere sab theek hojayega...jaise tum surgeries confidently kar ne lage the gradually...waise hi iss posting ko bhi perfectly handle kar ne lagoge...

Abhijeet looked at Daya with a glittering eyes who pressed Abhijeet's hand softly with...

Daya (in a soft tone): aur yeh future ke baare mai soch soch ke aaj ko kyu barbad kar rahe ho tum...haan...yaar hum kya hazar saal jeene wale hai...nahi na...humare paas kitna wakt hai hume khud patha nahi hai...aise mai kal kya hoga yeh soch ke aaj pareshan rahoge tho aaj ko kab jeeyoge...kab iss mai khush reha paoge...haan...bolo...

Abhijeet started to feel a different aroma rising in his heart hearing his brother's words while Daya continued to exclaim as...

Daya (in a soft tone): jo hai humare paas...wo sirf aur sirf aaj yeh jo wakt hai...wahi hai...tho iss mai jee the hai na...iss ko enjoy kar the hai...iss mai khush reha the hai...tabhi tho agar kal hotha bhi tho uss mai bhi khush rehe paayege...hai na...issliye yeh kal ke problems ko kal ke liye chodo...aur sirf aaj mai focus karo...aaj mai jeeyo...aaj mai hi khush raho...samjhe...

Abhijeet looked at Daya in a perplexed way as Daya's words hit and opens a new path in his heart...especially in his silly brain...

His brother was absolutely right...why the hell was he stressing himself and worrying thinking about the future...that was obviously the death for him...

He was not afraid of death...he was just frustrated and disheartened because of his fate which was snatching the chance of living a happy life with his family...

He never been happy...in fact he never lived his life all these years because of the absence of his brother...and now he got back his brother but his life was going away...

He was always worried and tensed thinking how would his family accept his death and how they live without him...how they would move on in their life...

But by thinking...frustrating and worrying over these things he completely forgot to live the present which was in his hand...

In fact he was hurting his lovable family with his devastated and frustrated behavior...for whom he was always worrying the most...

He was just getting devastated and frustrated thinking his fate instead of spending the days in a peaceful yet happy manner with his family...

And because of all these only his symptoms were rising and disturbing him more...which ultimately affect his routine especially mental balance which affects his family and others around him...

Obviously the death would come for everyone one day that too unexpectedly...but for him...it was coming early...that too informing previously that how much time left with him approximately to live...

But He never ever respected the time left with him in his hands...Instead of making them memorable...he was wasting them in worrying and frustrating over the uncertain fate...and drowning himself in the ocean of pain...

Not only himself...he was drowning his family too who were not even aware of any of his issues...his problems...

How stupid he was...why didn't he realize these things before hand...he literally wasted these many days just in worry and tension...

Wait...Why the hell was he getting worried again...just threw away everything...just smile and move...until the death embrace him...

Abhijeet could feel the mist of worry...tension and restlessness in his heart till then going away from him hearing his brother's words...

His mind got some fresh air which was blocked all these days because of his devastated heart who didn't let him do anything except worrying...

Realizing and accepting the reality and feeling the refreshment automatically a smile of relaxation erupted in Abhijeet's face...

Abhijeet (in a relieved tone): you are right Rock star...matlab mai itne dino se itna stress out horaha tha...sirf tension paye tension le raha tha...kabhi iss angle mai socha hi nahi...matlab...mai stress le le ke hi sab gadbad kar rakha hai...agar shanthi se raha hotha tho yeh sab hotha hi nahi...damn it...how stupid I was...How dumb...shit...

Daya who couldn't help escaping out a laughter hearing his brother's realization speech yet self bashing exclaimed as...

Daya (in a managed tone): areee...yaar...der se hi sahi samjh mai tho aagaya na tume...ab chill...ab isske liye bhi pareshan hothe mat reha na...theek hai...

Abhijeet smiled in embarrassment while Daya making a naughty expression exclaimed as...

Daya (in a teasing tone): waise iss mai ek cheez accha bhi hua hai...matlab tume yeh sab mai yeh bhi samjh gaya ki tum stupid ho...aur buddhu bhi ho...haan...waise mann na padhega Macron tume...matlab sach mann ne ka bhi badi himmat chahiye...jo sirf aur sirf mere bhai mai hai...not bad...aur aise hi yeh sach bhi mann le ne ki mai kitna smart hu...hmm...matlab tume itna sab samjhaya hai...samala hai...aur obviously...

Abhijeet while making a stern face looked at Daya from top to bottom and then while hitting him by shoulder asked out as...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): ohhhh smartness ke dukhan...bas haan...bas...bahot hogaya bhaashan...ab chup chap yeh baatao ki yeh saare chot laga kaise...

Daya who already planned only to lie to everyone including Abhijeet to avoid making them tensed for him exclaimed as...

Daya (in a managed tone): kuch nahi yaar...wo bas ghar aate wakt bike skid hogaya aur mai niche gir gaya...that's it...

Abhijeet (in anger): ohhh that's it...seriously...kitne asaani se bol rahe ho ki that's it...matlab hatt hai...tume kitni baar kaha tha ki thodi din apne bike ko ghar mai reha ne do...aur humare saath chalo...magar nahi...tume tho apne pyaare bike ke bina kahi jaana hi nahi hai...aur dekho kya...

Daya (in an annoyed tone): areee...yaar ab tum bhi shurur mat hojao...pehale hi sab ke taane sunn sunn ke thak gaya hu mai...and for your kind information...saare ghar wale mil ke zabardasti mera...bike ke saath break up kar ke usse garage mai dal diya hai...aur ek nayi car bhi dekh ke pasand kar liya hai...

Abhijeet who couldn't hold up his laughter hearing his brother's explanation started to laugh loudly with...

Abhijeet (in naughty tone): ohhh my god...mere aane se pehale itna sab hogaya...matlab...tumara break up hogaya...ab itne jaldi dusre dulhan ko bhi ready kar ke shaadi bhi tay hogaya hai...my god...matlab...ab tume zabartasti shaadi kar na padhega uss nayi car se...so sad...waise...zara mere bhabhi ke naam tho baata na...haan...baata...

Saying this he started to laugh more and more...seeing which Daya couldn't help getting happy even being getting teased by his brother as he was seeing his brother laughing that too whole heartedly nearly after so many years...

While Daya was overwhelming in his heart Abhijeet's laughter stopped abruptly realizing something...he got up as a reflex with...

Abhijeet (in a hurry): ohhh no...yeh mai kya...mujhe jaana padhega...

Daya (in confusion): areee...ab kya hua...kahan jaa raha hai...

Abhijeet (in tension): Sweety ke paas...aur kahan...tere chakkar mai...mai Sweety ko bhool gaya...wo patha nahi kya kar rahi hogi...

Daya (in a fuming tone): areee...iss mai mere kya kasoor hai...maine kya kiya...tum ne hi tho...

Abhijeet (in tension): haan par...tum hi baith ke bhaashan...

He stopped abruptly seeing Daya's pointed gaze over him...after a pause he while giving up as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): accha...theek hai...mera hi galati hai...gussa mat ho...hmm...ab chalo...jaake Sweety ko dekh the hai...

Saying this he was about to move towards Naina's room but stopped abruptly seeing Naina and others already standing at the entrance of their room with a pointed gaze...

Duo exchanged a glance in a haphazard way seeing everyone while Naina entered inside with...

Naina (in taunting tone): kya baat hai Bhai...aap ko tho kaafi jaldi hi mere khayal aagayi hai...matlab jaise aap dono ke baatein chal rahi thi mujhe tho laga ki aap aagle hafte hi aayege mujhe manna ne...

Abhijeet who turned totally embarrassed hearing that just lowered his gaze while exclaiming as...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): sorry Sweety...wo tho mai...

Sweety (interrupted in a tease as): Sweety...magar meri naam tho Naina hai na...abhi thodi der pehale tho aap ne mujhe waise hi tho bulaya tha...wo bhi pehale baar...mujhe aaj hi patha chala ki aapko mere naam bhi patha hai...

Abhijeet who felt a sharp pain in his heart hearing that held Naina's hand immediately with...

Abhijeet (in guilt): I am sorry Sweety...so sorry...patha nahi kaise mai...apna frustration...tum par nikal diya...I am sorry baccha...apne bhai ko maaf kar de baccha...sorry...so...

Naina who was looking at her brother with a teary eyes till then intervened his words while pressing his palm softly with...

Naina (in a teary tone): Bhai...please...aapke koi galati nahi hai...I am sorry...mujhe aapko uss tara pareshan nahi kar na chahiye tha...aap kitne thake huye the...aur aap bol bhi rahe the ki aap ka mann nahi hai...kitna khoshsis bhi ki mujhe samjha ne ke...phir bhi mai...I am sorry Bhai...sorry...

Abhijeet made a defending expression and while nodding his head in negative exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a teary tone): areee...baccha yeh tum kya...tum tho mere liye mujhe bula rahi thi na...mujhe relax kar na chahe rahe the tum...magar mai hi pagal hu jo tum paye chila diya...tumari dil dukha diya...I am sorry baccha...so sorry...but I promise...yehi first and last hai...aaj ke baad kabhi aise baat nahi karuga tum se...kabhi nahi...

Naina (in a teary tone): phir kabhi Naina bhi mat bula na Bhai...bahot ajeeb lag thi hai...

Abhijeet chuckled in tears and then while nodding in positive hugged Naina tightly while shedding silent tears who too hugged him back while crying bitterly...

Daya looked at his siblings in a highly emotional way seeing their heart felt conversation while others too exchanged a teary yet proud gaze seeing their understanding level...

The Next morning...

At the Khurana's mansion...

Daya came down stairs in the night suits while yawning and stretching his hands with a drowsy face...

Bhoomika who was reading the newspaper while chatting with Kavya and Gayatri looked up with a broad smile seeing Daya coming and exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a soft tone): good morning Guddu...

Daya (in a soft tone): Good morning Mumma...good morning everyone...

Daya sat on the couch beside them and while looking here and there started to exclaim as...

Daya (in confusion): baki sab kahan hai...aur yeh Macron...(in a snubbing tone)...lag tha hai aaj aur jaldi chala gaya hai...

Bhoomika (in a soft tone): areee...nahi nahi Guddu...tere bhai hospital nahi gaya hai...bas jogging ke liye gaya hai...

Daya (in confusion): kya...jogging...

Gayatri (in a tired tone): haan...wo bhi tere Papa aur bacche sab ko leke...subha 6 baje hi nikal gaya...

Daya (in surprise): kya...6 baje...my god...(in realizing tone)...ek minute...sab ko le gaya...tho mujhe kaise chod diya...

Kavya (in a soft tone): correction Daya...sirf aaj ke liye choda hai...wo tum thoda tute pute ho na issliye...kal se tume bhi jaana padhega...so be ready...

Daya made a sad face while Bhoomika too made a extreme sad face and exclaimed as...

Bhoomika (in a sad tone): sirf tume hi nahi...hume bhi jaana padhega...wo aaj hume bhi bula hi raha tha...hum hi muskhil se manna kar ke baithe hai tere naam bol ke...ab kal se tum jaoge tho hume bhi jaana hi padhega na...

Daya chuckled out hearing that while Abhijeet entered the home along with siblings while laughing madly followed by Atharv who came inside with a grumpy face...

They all sat on the couch in a exhausted manner still laughing while Atharv made an annoyed face seeing which Daya and others exchanged a glance in surprise...

Daya (in surprise): areee...aap log jogging se aarahe ho...ya phir koi comedy show dekh ke itna kyu has rahe ho...aur Papa aap itne udaas kyu ho...

Abhijeet (in a naughty tone): kyuki wo sirf humare liye comedy show tha Rock star...Papa ke liye tho action film se kam nahi hai...

Saying this Abhijeet started to laugh more while Atharv made a extra fuming face seeing which Daya asked out as...

Daya (in confusion): matlab...

Naina (in a managed tone): Bhaiya...wo Papa ek aunty se almost peeth gaya the...

Daya and others eyes widened in shock hearing that while Bhoomika asked out of shock as...

Bhoomika (in shock): kya...peeth gaya tha...magar kyu...kya...kya kiya issne...

Srishti (in tease): Bade Papa ne kuch kiya nahi...issliye hi tho peeth jaane wale the...

Gayatri (in confusion): kya bol rahe tum log...Atharv yeh sab kya hai...haan...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): mai...baata tha hu Dadi...wo...Papa running race mai haar gaye the...aur shart bhi...aur issliye unnko humare liye aam (Mango)...chura na padha...

Gayatri (in shock): kya...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): agar pehale hi itna tez bhaag gaye hothe...tho at least running race mai jeeth jaathe...magar innone tho...hahahaha...

Saying this Abhijeet and Naina did a Hi-fi and continued to laugh madly while Atharv who couldn't hold up his annoyance ignoring their words exclaimed as...

Atharv (in an annoyed tone): Bhoomi...yaar...mujhe bahot bhook laga hai...please kuch banna ke do na...

Bhoomika (in a casual tone): kya Atharv...itna bhi mat khaao...abhi abhi...tho...itna bezaati khaa ke aaye ho...phir bhi tum...

Atharv looked at Bhoomika in shock hearing her words while Abhijeet and other siblings started to laugh more...

Daya and others who were trying hard to suppress their laughter couldn't hold up beyond that they also started to laugh madly...

Atharv (in fuming tone): haso...haso...sab haso...mai aaj ke baad kabhi tum log ke saath jogging mai hi nahi aauga...

Saying this Atharv was about to move but Abhijeet held his hand and made him sit on the couch with...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): areee...aap sab log kya kar rahe ho...has na bandh karo...dekho Papa naraz hogaye...

Everyone zipped up their mouth with that while Atharv glared at Abhijeet hard as he was the sole reason for the whole happenings...

Ignoring his glare Abhijeet turned towards Bhoomika in a casual way and exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a soft tone): aur Mumma...Papa keha rahe hai na ki bhook lag raha hai...kuch baana ke do na...

Bhoomika (in a managed tone): haan...haan...kyu nahi...bolo...Atharv...kya khaoge...

Atharv made a face seeing everyone's antics and was about to say something but Abhijeet intervened as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): mai baata tha hu na Mumma...aaj ka menu mai bol tha hu...aaj aap na...

Daya and other siblings (simultaneously): nahiiiiiiii...

Abhijeet (in confusion): areee...kyu nahi...mai kyu nahi baata saktha...

Daya (in a snubbing tone): kyuki tum khana ka menu nahi...sirf raw vegetables ki list doge...so please...

Naina (in agreement): haan Bhai...sorry hum se aapke wo salads tho bikul nahi khaya jaayega...Mumma aap na...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): ek minute...Mumma...aaj ka menu mai hi boluga...and that's final...aaj naa aap...apna special paratte baana do...with that creamy malai kofta...aur phir thoda paneer ke sabji bhi banna lo...aur haan...noodles bhi banna lo...schewaan wala...theek hai...

Daya...Bhoomika and others looked at Abhijeet in a complete shock and surprise while Abhijeet exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in confusion): kya hua...aise kya dekh rahe hai...khane ke menu accha nahi laga kya...

Naina (in shock): Bhai...aap yeh sab khaoge...matlab...my god...unbelievable...aaj tho pakka baarish hoga...

Abhijeet while making a face turned towards Bhoomika ignoring her comment and exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in an annoyed tone): Mumma...aap issko chodo...aur khaane paye focus karo...wo mujhe bhi thoda bhook laga hai...(thinking something)...ek minute...aap log akele kyu banaoge khana...mai bhi chal tha hu...chalo...mai bhi banna tha hu...

Atharv (in surprise): Abu...tume khana banna na bhi aata hai...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): nahi...lekin abhi sikh luga...Mumma aur Chachi sikha dege...kyu...

Daya (in tease): accha...phir hospital nahi jaana...

Abhijeet (in a casual tone): jauga na...pehale cooking tho sikh lu...chalo Mumma...Chachi chalo...Rock star se bhi bada superb chef bann na hai mujhe...chalo...

Saying this he moved towards the kitchen dragging Bhoomika and Kavya leaving others in complete shock and surprise while Daya smiled in satisfaction seeing his brother's positive change hearing his words...

A Few more days passed...

Abhijeet's positive change over spread the positive vibe and happiness around himself...his family and hospital...

He started to spend lots and lots of time with his brother...sister...cousins and the whole family...

In hospital too he started to do all work in a more lively manner than before as if enjoying every bit of his life...

He was maintaining the positive energy as much as possible in spite of feeling low because of his deteriorating health...

He decided that whatever happens he wouldn't let his disease affect him and his family's happiness...

He was finding the new...new ways to manage himself thereby keep himself and everything around him lively until he could manage...until he could handle his disease...

After that...that was when his disease would engulf him to the extent beyond which he couldn't handle he has planned to elope somewhere...

Yes...He was actually planning and making arrangements to go abroad in the name of some research work when things started to go off from his control...

And after reaching there he would go away somewhere else...from where no one could find him and die peacefully recalling the beautiful memories he was creating now with his family...

Unaware of his plan to betray them...the family members got relaxed and relieved seeing Abhijeet's positive change as they were longing for this only for a long time...Daya was the happiest among all...he felt like finally he got back his brother...

His personal life seems to be smoothened with Abhijeet's change but his professional life was going a little weird because of Naveen's presence...

Naveen's extra normal behavior was cluttering his mind hard and making him suspicious day by day...

And also He couldn't even find the person behind the attack happened over him...he didn't get any other attack after that...he thought that maybe he was never alone after that as he started to go bureau along with Abhijeet on his insistence...

But still he felt like being under someone's surveillance all the time...but couldn't find anything useful...

Dev and Satya also felt happy seeing Abhijeet's change which they found it to be a positive sigh in making him ready for the surgery unaware of his plan to elope...

Satya has planned and arranged everything for Abhijeet's surgery...now he had to just talk with Abhijeet and make him ready for the surgery...which was the toughest part of their plan...

But making up his mind Satya decided to talk with Abhijeet the next day but the shocking truth regarding Mihir and Abhijeet came to his knowledge when he accidentally saw the CCTV footage of Mihir begging in front of Abhijeet...

He suspected something wrong and when he started to dig the matter...when he got to know regarding the shocking truth regarding Mihir's deeds which shocked him to the core...

But Abhijeet who was unaware of this...took a week off on that day deciding to spend some quality time with his family...

At the Khurana Mansion...

Inside Duo's room...

Daya entered the room while talking to Abhir over the phone but his eyes widened in shock seeing the messy condition of the room and Naina...the reason for the mess...

He while looking at the whole mess moved towards Naina who was searching something with an annoyed face and exclaimed as...

Daya (in shock): Sweety...yeh sab kya hai...kya kar rahe ho tum...

Naina (in frustration): mai kya kar thi Bhaiya...kab se dhoodh rahi hu yeh stapler mil hi nahi raha hai...

Daya who already noticed where the stapler was moved towards the table and took the stapler with...

Daya (in tease): agar aise dhoodhoge tho kaise milega...haan...yeh dekho...stapler tho yahan hai...wo bhi bikul samne...

Naina who got relieved to the core seeing the stapler took it from Daya's hand in happiness while Daya exclaimed as...

Daya (in tease): ek samne rakhi cheez ko dhoodh ne ke chakkar mai pura room ko ulta pulta kar diya tum ne...accha hua ki Macron bahar gaya hua hai...agar wo yeh sab dekh liya na...tho tum gayi kaam se...

Naina (in a naughty tone): aap ho na mujhe baccha ne ke liye...phir mujhe kya dar...matlab aap Bhai ke aane se pehale sab kuch saaf jo kar dege...hai na...accha Bhaiya mujhe ek important kaam hai...mai chali...aap saaf kar le na...bye...

Saying this Naina rushed out of the room to escape from the cleaning process...seeing which Daya nodded his head in disappointment and started to clean the room...

Daya was arranging everything while remembering and smiling broadly thinking of the memory regarding everything...

Actually Daya has been shifted to the room only a few days before so he didn't get any proper chance to explore his childhood room...

Today only he was analyzing everything and mesmerizing because Abhijeet has kept everything the same from their childhood days even after these many years...

The big room...2 beds with a common side table in between...the big wardrobe to accommodate their things...separate study table...photographs of them and family over the wall and table...

Everything...everything was the same...as it was 18 years ago...only their bed has become big as they both were grown up now...

He could feel every bit of the room as his brother has preserved every memory as it was...

While mesmerizing and overwhelming a lot...he moved towards Abhijeet's table to arrange the things spread by Naina over there too...

Upon cleaning the table Daya's eyes fell on a diary present inside the drawer which snatched his attention for no reason...

He took the diary and while making a naughty face opened the diary thinking it to something useful to tease his brother...

But his eyes widened in shock by just reading the first few lines...by reading those words itself he understood that his brother has written it for him...

Yes...it was the diary in which Abhijeet was writing everything as if talking to him...his Rock star...(Refer chapter 4)...

Daya while understanding that the diary in his hand was just a continuation of his brother's conversation...started to search for other diaries...and found a ton of diaries neatly arranged in the lower part of the cup board...

The number of diaries were enough to make Daya's heart heavier as their number itself saying that how much his brother might missed him...

Daya while gulping down the pain took out all the diaries and started to read everything from the starting as if trying to feel his brother's unsaid pain through his words...

In the afternoon...

At the Khurana Mansion...

Abhijeet entered the home along with Atharv with lots of bags in his hand which were the things for their family time party at the night...

Seeing everyone except Daya sitting in the hall Abhijeet while keeping the bags on the table asked out as...

Abhijeet (in confusion): Mumma...Rock star kahan hai...

Bhoomika (in a tired tone): aap log ke kamre mai hi baitha hai subha se...kab se bula raha hu aayi nahi raha hai...

Abhijeet (in worry): kya...magar kyu...

Naina (in a tired tone): patha nahi Bhai...kamra bandh kar ke baithe hai...pucha tho bas bol rahe hai ki aaraha hu aaraha hu...magar aaya hi nahi abhi tak...

Abhijeet (in worry): accha...mai jaake dekh tha hu...ki kya kar raha hai...

Saying this Abhijeet moved towards their room in worry...thinking what might have happened with his brother...

He knocked on the door softly while calling Daya in a little worried tone...but didn't get any response...

While frowning in tension Abhijeet was about to knock the door again but Daya opened it before that...

Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock and worry seeing the puffy eyes of Daya indicating that he was crying for a long time...which made Abhijeet restless in seconds...

Before Abhijeet could react Daya who couldn't manage his emotions turned around and moved inside...while Abhijeet who was hell tensed followed him and pressed his shoulder with...

Abhijeet (in tension): Rock star...kya hua tum...tum ro kyu rahe ho...haan...kuch hua hai kya...baata na...

Instead of answering Daya turned towards Abhijeet and hugged him tightly while crying bitterly leaving Abhijeet more worried...

Abhijeet who turned more restless was about to ask the reason again but stopped abruptly noticing his diaries spread over the bed...

Seeing which Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock and turned restless within seconds thinking about the dreadful possibility...but eventually he remembered that he didn't write anything after he got to know about Daya being his rock star...

Which obviously means that his secret was safe and sound...but his worry didn't decrease because any way his diary has the painful things which could broke his brother...and yes...it has on broken him harder...

He started to feel frustrated for not hiding the diaries in a proper place so that to avoid this painful situation for his brother...

He never ever wanted his brother to read these diaries as he knew that they could give only pain to his brother...nothing more than that...

He couldn't even plan to hide them...in fact he totally forgot regarding the diaries in all the hungamas that happened back to back...

When Daya shifted to their room his focus was only on hiding the medicines and things related to his disease...in that caution and focus these diaries didn't come to his mind at all...which has now turned to be blow over his brother's innocent heart which was what he never wanted...

He closed his eyes in frustration and pain for a second thinking all these and hearing brother's painful sobs...and then taking deep breaths he patted his brother's shoulder softly and was about to say something but Daya exclaimed as...

Daya (in a broken tone): sorry Macron...maine tume bahot jyada dard de diya na...tume...tume todh diya na maine...so sorry yaar...mai kitna bura bhai hu na Macron...bahot bura...

Abhijeet who expected such a reaction from his brother separated himself from the hug and cupped his brother's face with...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): tum...tum pagal ho kya...yeh kya bole jaa raha hai...haan...yeh faltu ke diaries padh ke ek dam se decide kar liya ki tum bure bhai ho...kya Rock star tum...

Daya (in a teary yet firm tone): yeh faltu nahi hai...yeh tumare feelings hai...dard hai...jo maine khud diya tha tujhe...tume chod ke jaa ke...tum kitna dard mai hotha...kitna akela feel kiye hothe tho tum yeh sab likh the...I am sorry yaar...mujhe uss wakt kuch samjh nahi aaya issliye waise...

Abhijeet (in a pacifying tone): aree...yaar tum yeh kya purane baatein le ke baith gaye...apna baataya hua baatein tum khud hi bhool gaye...haan...tum ne hi tho kaha tha ki yeh saare past ko piche chod ke aage badh the hai...ab tum hi wo sab leke baith gaye...

Daya made a defending expression and was about to say something but Abhijeet stopped him and made him sit on the bed with...

Abhijeet (in a soft tone): tum...baitho pehale...haan...relax...breath...hmm...

He too settled himself beside Daya and held his hand softly and firmly and started to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a soft tone): yaar...ab wo din gaye...matlab uss wakt tum mere paas nahi the...issliye mai tum se isske zariye baat kar raha tha...lekin...ab...ab dekho...ab tho tum mere paas ho...hum saath hai...aur khub baatein bhi kar rahe hai...hai na...tho phir pareshani kiss baat ke haan...

Daya (in a stammering tone): haan manna ki ab sab theek hai...lekin uss wakt tho nahi tha na...mujhe itne dino se bas andaza tha tumare dard ka...lekin aaj jab mai yeh sab padha tho...mujh se nahi horaha hai yaar...aise har pal ko mehsoos kar ne baad mai kaise guilty feel Naa karu...haan...bolo...

Abhijeet (in frustration): what...guilty feeling horaha hai...matlab sirf guilty feeling hi horaha hai tume...my god...matlab mai itna feel kar ke tume miss kar ke itna saare diaries issliye likha taki tum baith ke guilt feel karu...seriously Rock star...matlab hatt hai...itne der baith ke yeh sab padh ke kya fyada hua...haan...itna time waste kyu kiya tum ne...isse accha tho tum yeh sab padh ke hi nahi...

Daya looked at Abhijeet with a bewildered yet shocked expression hearing his frustrated words and exclaimed as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): tum...aisa kyu...keha rahe ho Macron...matlab...mai aur kya karu...

Abhijeet (in a snubbing tone): areee...kya karu...ab yeh bhi mai hi baatao tume...haan...matlab yeh sab padh ke...tume...yeh khayal nahi aaraha hai ki bichare ne humare bina yeh...yeh miss kiya hai...feel kiya hai...chalo jithna hosake utna wo sab kar ke usse khush kar the hai...wo jo pal hum ne khoya usse jeethe hai...hai na...aise bhi tho khayal aasaktha hai na...magar nahi...tume tho...(stressing)...sirf guilty feel kar na hai...

Daya who understood Abhijeet's taunting advise looked at him in embarrassment while Abhijeet made a frustrated expression with...

Abhijeet (in frustration): dekh Rock star...already aise baatein kar kar ke...maine kitne din waste kiya yeh tum bhi jaan the ho...in fact wo sab tum ne jhela hai...iss mamle mai kaafi bashaan bhi diya hai mujhe...phir tum khud yeh sab karoge tho kaise chalega...haan...ab tere baatein mai tume hi repeat karu tho accha thodi na lagega...issliye please don't dare to do this...

Daya looked at Abhijeet in surprise for a second hearing words and then ultimately burst into laughter with...

Daya (in a stammering tone): you know what...you are absolutely right...matlab yeh guilty feel kar ne jaise mamle mai tum se advise le ne se jyada bure baat kuch hoyi nahi saktha...matlab tum khud hi humesha uss advise le ne list mai aajaathe ho...tho tum se le ne jaise naubaut bikul nahi aana chahiye...bikul bhi nahi...thanks yaad dila ne ke liye...mai aage se dhayan rakhuga...

Abhijeet made a whatever wala expression while Daya's smile vanished in seconds remembering and realizing something else which he asked out immediately in a serious manner as...

Daya (in worry): Macron...mai puch na bhool gaya...tere tabiyat tho theek hai na...

Abhijeet who got jerked hearing that query that too all of sudden exclaimed while recovering himself as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): haan...haan...theek hai bikul bhi...kyu...aise kyu puch raha hai...haan...

Daya (in worry): areee...wo tum yeh iss diaries mai bich bich mai bahot baar tere tabiyat kharab hone ke baare mai likha hai...matlab yeh sar dard hona...weakness...tiredness...chakkar aana sab...yeh sab...yeh sab...kyu horaha tha...haan...matlab sab theek hai...kuch hua hai kya...ya...abhi bhi kuch...

Abhijeet who turned restless in no time hearing those words...but remembering that he didn't mention anything more than that so he immediately took the charge in clearing the mist as...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): areee nahi...nahi...abhi...abhi kyu hoga...matlab actually uss wakt mai bahot stress mai hotha tha na tho kabhi kabhi kaafi sar dard hotha tha...chakkar wagera bhi aata tha...lekin ab kyu...(in a low tone)...upar se uss wakt yeh anti depressants bhi jyada khata reha tha tha tho kabhi kabhi aise...ho jaatha...

Daya's face tightened in no time hearing the name of anti depressants...as he could remember the dreadful seizures and hallucinations that happened with his brother because of it according to him...because of which he couldn't help getting frustrated hearing that...so out of frustration he exclaimed out as...

Daya (in frustration): areee...yaar...phir usse le na chod kyu nahi de the tum...haan...jab tume khud patha hai ki usse le ne itna sab hotha hai tho...tum kyu...

Abhijeet (in a defending tone): ohhh Rock star...hold on...tum se kissne kaha ki mai abhi bhi anti depressants kha tha hu...haan...bhai shab for your kind information maine anti depressants ko le na ussi din chod diya tha jiss din hum dono ke bich tere transfer le ne baat paye jhagada hua tha...(Refer chapter 20)...

Daya's eyes widened in shock hearing the revelation made by his brother which obviously hits on him like a blow...

Daya (in a shock): kya...tum tab se nahi le rahe ho wo pills...matlab...3 mahine pehale hi chod diya usse...

Abhijeet (in a low tone): haan...wo...actually maine usske baad bhi stress hothe wakt usse le ne ka socha magar...patha nahi kyu...le nahi paaya...baar baar tere tension...mere liye pareshani hi aaraha tha mere aanko ke samne...tho usse le na chod diya...

Daya felt perplexed hearing his brother's words which was forcing him to think regarding the recent hallucination that happened for which Dev tagged anti depressants responsible...and said that Abhijeet might have taken anti depressants in a large quantity...

But his brother was saying that he didn't even touch them for more than 3 months...then...how did his brother undergo hallucination...thinking of some other possibility...

Daya (in a stammering tone): Macron...kya anti depressants ko chod ne ke baad bhi usske waja se problem ho saktha hai kya...matlab usska effect ya side effect reha tha hai kya...

Abhijeet (in a polite tone): haan...reha tha tho hai...aur hum usse withdrawal symptoms keha the hai...yeh irritability...headache...dizziness...jaise symptoms hotha hai...

Daya (in a stammering tone): kuch bada side effects hosaktha hai kya?...matlab yeh hallucinations jaise kuch...

Abhijeet (in a soft tone): nahi yaar...wo sab nahi hotha...jyada se jyada...yeh vomiting...insomnia wagera hotha hai...lekin 2-3 hafte mai theek hojayega normally...haan rarely kabhi kabhi 3-4 mahine bhi reha tha hai...magar uss se jyada chance nahi hai...aur uss wakt tak tho kuch hi symptoms hothe hai...

Daya's face turned more worried and tensed as his brother's words obviously means that Dev has lied to them regarding Abhijeet's hallucination...

But why...why would Dev lie to them on their face...that too on this serious issue...Daya felt distressed thinking over it...

Abhijeet who realized that his brother was asking much regarding the anti depressants asked out as...

Abhijeet (in a casual tone): waise...tum yeh sab kuch puch rahe ho...haan...(noticing the tension in his face)...aur pareshan bhi lag rahe ho...sab theek hai na...

Daya who didn't want to put his load of suspicion over his brother who was not even aware of the hallucination covered up his tension with...

Daya (in a managed tone): haan...haan Bhai...sab theek hai...wo kuch nahi bas...mai...aise hi puch raha tha yeh sab...(after a pause)...accha Macron...mujhe kuch kaam hai...mai aata hu...

Abhijeet (in confusion): kaam...ab kahan jaa rahe ho...yaar...shaam ko humare family party hai na...bhool gaye...

Daya (in a managed tone): bhool kaise saktha hu Macron...yaad hai mujhe...bas ek chota sa kaam hai...jaldi aajauga...

Saying this Daya rushed out of the room leaving Abhijeet in a high confusion and worry...

After sometimes...

At the healthy life hospital...

In Dev's cabin...

Daya entered Dev's cabin like a storm and before Dev could even react for his arrival Daya asked out as...

Daya (in a stern tone): Macron ko hallucination kyu hua tha Dev...

Dev who was perplexed seeing Daya's attitude and his query while trying to revive himself from the shock exclaimed as...

Dev (in a stammering tone): maine kaha tho tha ki...anti depressants le ne ke waja se...

Daya (interrupted in a firm tone as): Abhijeet ne unn anti depressants le na 3 mahine pehale hi chod diya hai...

Dev's eyes widened in shock hearing that revelation...he stood up as a reflex while exclaiming as...

Dev (in shock): kya...

Daya (in a stern tone): haan...ab wo unn pills ko le hi nahi raha tha tho usske waja se Macron ko hallucinations kaise hosaktha hai...haan...bolo...

Dev felt like being caught...he didn't get what to say for a second but while trying to manage himself he tried to speak up as...

Dev (in a stammering tone): Daya...wo hosaktha hai ki yeh unn pills ka side effect...

Daya (in a stern tone): jhooth bol ne ke khoshsis bhi mat kar na Dev...kyuki mai jaan tha hu ki unn pills ke withdrawal ke waja se Macron ko hallucinations nahi hua hai...ussne khud kaha hai ki withdrawal mai aise symptoms nahi hote...3 mahine baad tho bikul bhi nahi...

Dev was left speechless after hearing because all the stock of lies he had was over now...understanding Dev's gaze Daya exclaimed as...

Daya (in a stern tone): hogaya na saare jhooth khatam ab sach baatao Dev...kya hua hai Abhijeet ko...kyu horaha tha usse hallucinations...bolo...

Dev looked at Daya in complete nervousness for a second and then lowered his gaze feeling helpless...

A tear drop slipped from his eyes while he closed his eyes in pain and to control his tears...

Daya who was already at the top of restlessness turned more restless seeing Dev's antics...he who couldn't handle his distress more than that asked out as...

Daya (in a loud tone): mai tum se kuch puch raha hu Dev...jawab do...kya chupa rahe ho tum hum sab se...bol...(in fear)...kuch problem hai...kuch..kuch...hua hai kya Macron ko...haan...bolo...

Dev looked at Daya who already started to shiver a bit in fear for his brother...he was getting a high urge to reveal the truth...

His heart was stopping him from doing so reminding Abhijeet's threat...but he knew that he couldn't hide anything beyond this...so he exclaimed as...

Dev (in a stammering tone): Daya...sorry lekin...mai tum kuch baata nahi saktha...tume...tume jo bhi puch na hai tum jaake Abhijeet se hi pucho...wahi tume jawab de saktha hai...

Daya (in confusion): Abhijeet se puchu..(in tension)...matlab jo bhi hai uss se bhi patha hai...haan...(in distress)...Dev yeh sab kya chal raha hai...tum saaf saaf bol kyu nahi de the ho ki kya hua hai...haan...aur aise kyu mere sawal ke jawab nahi de rahe ho...haan...

Dev (in a stammering tone): Daya...mai mann tha hu ki tere sawal ke jawab hai mere paas...magar mai tume kuch bhi nahi baata saktha...please...tum jaake Abhijeet se hi maang na iss sawal ke jawaab...

Daya (in a stammering tone): Dev...tum...(in fear)...Dev...kuch major issue hai kya...haan...Macron ko kuch...

Dev (interrupted in a stammering tone as): Daya please yaar...mujh se abhi...kuch mat puch na...mai...mai majboor hu yaar...please samjhao...tum jaake Abhijeet se hi puch na sab...usse tume sab baata diya na...tho usske baad mai bhi tume sab baatauga...tere saare sawalo ke jawab bhi duga...bas tum pehale Abhijeet se pucho...please...

Daya made a highly frustrated yet distressed expression hearing Dev's words...but he understood that he couldn't stress Dev beyond this...

He has to talk with his brother...confront him...that too as soon as possible...as he understood that the issue was going to be beyond his imagination level...

Decided to keep Dev in hold for now...he looked at Dev with a controlled gaze and exclaimed as...

Daya (in a firm tone): theek hai...Dr Dev...mai Macron se hi puch tha hu ki aakhir wo kya chupa raha hai...but you remember...usske baad tume bhi mere sawalo ke jawab de na hi padhega...tume baata na hi padhega ki aakhir tum ne hum se jhooth bola hi kyu...samjhe...so be ready with your answers...

Saying this Daya stormed out of Dev's cabin to his home to meet Abhijeet with a strong determination to gain the truth from him at any cost...leaving Dev in complete pain and helplessness...and obviously fear...

While Dev was dying out of all these emotions...his phone started to ring and seeing the caller ID as Deen sir Dev attended the call while trying to compose himself...

After sometimes...

Inside Satya's cabin...

Dev entered Satya's cabin while engulfing in his conversation occured with Daya but became shocked seeing the scenario unfolded...

ACP was standing at one side with a highly shocked yet devastated expression...along with Freddy and Rajat who were also standing with the same expression...

Satya was standing near the table while looking at Mihir with a highly fuming yet disgusting expression who was begging Satya in tears while holding his legs as...

Mihir (in tears): sir...please...mere saath aise mat kijiye...sab barbad hojayega sir...please...mujhe bas ek mauka dijiye...mai dubara aise galati...bikul bhi nahi karuga...please sir...

Satya (in rage): mauka...wo bhi tume...tum ne jo kuch bhi kiya hai usske baad tho tum jee ne ke bhi layak nahi rahe ho...mauka chahiye tume...haan...mai tume nahi choduga...samjhe...

ACP was at the top of shock and disbelief till then hearing the shocking truth regarding Abhijeet's health and mishaps happened because of Mihir...

Actually Satya called him to come and arrest Mihir immediately...and upon arriving to the hospital Satya revealed the whole shocking events to ACP in detail..

He couldn't even digest one percent of the truth revealed by Satya because of which he was numb till then...but now got triggered hearing Mihir's words...so he too moved towards Mihir with...

ACP (in rage): haan...tumare har gunah ka saza milega tume...samjhe tum...gin gin ke saza duga mai tujhe...ab tho tum bach nahi sakthe...Abhijeet ke saath jo bhi kiya usske liye...tho mai tujhe aise saza duga ki tum jindagi baar pactayega apne galati ke liye...

Dev who became perplexed seeing everything happening moved towards them with a utterly puzzled expression hearing Abhijeet's name as...

Dev (in confusion): sir...kya hua...aap log isse...aise...kya...kiya hai issne Abhijeet ke saath...

Satya (in rage): Dev...iss ghatiya aadmi ke waja se hi Abhijeet aaj aise halat mai hai...issne hi bheja hai Abhijeet ko maut ke muh mai...issne hi kiya hai sab kuch...

Dev (in shock): kya...yeh aap kya bol rahe hai sir...

Satya (in rage): Abhijeet ke reports 6 - 8 mahine pehale tak problem hone ke bewajood bhi aise hi normal nahi aaraha tha...isske waja se normal aaraha tha...issne hi badala hai saare reports...Abhijeet ke Chacha aur Daya ke biological father ke saath mil ke...

Dev's eyes widened in shock more than before...he has totally forgotten regarding the normal reports mystery because of the tension for Abhijeet...

He never ever thought in such a angle...that means this man...this demon was responsible for all his friend's suffering...

This man was the one who pushed his friend to the verge of death...he was the one responsible for his current helpless state...

Dev could feel a fire setting up in his heart thinking all these...he held Mihir by collar and started to jerk him badly with...

Dev (in rage): tumare himmat kaise huyi Abhijeet ke saath yeh sab kar ne ki...haan...kyu kiya aise...haan...kyu kiya...kyu mere dost ke jindagi barbad kiya hai tum ne...kyu...

Saying this Dev jerked him hard while choking him too much out of rage...seeing Mihir turning blue Satya and ACP stopped Dev with...

ACP (in a managed tone): Dev...samalo khud ko...shant hojao...

Satya (in agreement): haan Dev...please abhi tum...shant...

Dev (in rage): kaise shant hojao sir...iss aadmi ke waja se mere dost ab aise...mai isse choduga nahi sir...choduga nahi...(thinking something)...nahi...mai kuch nahi karuga...jo bhi kar na hai...Abhijeet khud karega isske saath...mai isse Abhijeet ke samne bhi leke jauga...aur wahi...

Satya (in a stern tone): Abhijeet ko sab patha hai Dev...usse 2 mahine pehale hi patha chal gaya hai ki issne hi usske saath yeh sab kiya hai...

Dev's eyes widened in shock and disbelief...his grip over Mihir's collar loosened automatically hearing the shocker while Satya exclaimed as...

Satya (in frustration): magar ussne issko chod diya...yeh bol ke ki yeh agar accha bann ke rahega tho wo isske gunah ko chupaa de ga...aur wo 2 mahino se chup bhi hai...

Dev was literally taken aback hearing everything...he became totally numb to the core...

Late in the evening...

The road side...

Daya was impatiently roaming here and there at the road side with a highly frustrated face while looking for Abhir...

Actually He was on the way to home when the car got stopped abruptly...he tried a lot to revive it...but it didn't budge...

He who was already at great tension and frustration turned more frustrated and rage filled seeing the car being a hurdle...

Dev's behavior has totally killed his patience and calmness...His deliberate refusal to answer his question...and his pain filled eyes...helpless expression...everything was cluttering his mind and heart like anything...

His heart was currently filled with an unknown fear and tension regarding Abhijeet as he understood that something was terribly wrong with his brother seeing Dev's antics and his response to his straight stern question...

He wanted to reach his brother as soon as possible and ask him what the hell was going on...but this car...it was delaying it...

He called the mechanic who came and said that he has to take the car to the work shop as it was having some major fault...

Daya who couldn't handle his tension and restlessness more than that called Abhir who was already on the way along with Sneha to their home for the party and asked him to pick him up as soon as possible...

While Daya was waiting for Abhir his phone started to ring and he attended the call without looking at the caller ID in a frustrated manner while the caller who was none other than Abhijeet started to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in tension): Rock star...kahan ho tum...raat hone ko hai...abhi tak aaya nahi tum...hum sab intezaar kar rahe hai tumare...kahan rahe gaye ho yaar...

Daya felt a storm rising in his heart hearing his brother's voice with whom he was desperate to talk till then...

His heart urged him to ask out the crushing question inside it...but his brain stopped him...it asked him to maintain patience until he reaches home as this was a very sensitive thing to be asked in phone...

So he while trying to control his irregular sinuses and restlessness tried to speak up as...

Daya (in a managed tone): mai...mai raaste mai hi hu Abhijeet...bas wo gaadi kharab hogaya hai...issliye...

Abhijeet (in tension): kya...gaadi kharab hogaya...kya Rock star...tum call kar ke baata de the...mai aajaatha dusre gaadi leke...theek hai...tum kahan ho ab...location send karo mai...

Daya (in a firm tone): nahi...koi jaruraat nahi...(realizing his tone)...mera matlab hai ki...wo Abhir se baat hogaya hai mera...wo wahi aaraha hai na tho...wo mujhe pick kar lega...mai gaadi ko work shop bhej diya hai...Abhir aata hi usske saath ghar aajauga...(seeing Abhir's car)...Abhir aagaya...mai aata hu...aake baat kar tha hu tum se...

Saying this Daya disconnected the call and moved towards Abhir's car in a complete hurry and desperation...

On the other side...

At the Khurana Mansion...

Abhijeet who was at a great distress till then became a little relaxed after having a conversation with his brother...

He while heaving a sigh in relief was about to move to the other side of the hall but got collide with the table because of which a show piece on it was about to fall but Naina caught it timely with...

Naina (in tease): kya Bhai...isske jodi dhar ko todh ke mann nahi baara jo isse bhi todh rahe hai...haan...isse tho chodiye...Papa ke favorite show piece hai na..

Abhijeet (in confusion): kya...maine kab...kab todha tha...

Naina (in a flow): areee Bhai...aap ne hi todha tha na uss din...upar se niche hallucination mai...aur...

Naina stopped abruptly realizing what she was saying out of flow while Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock...

Abhijeet while trying to gasp Naina's words and while trying to revive himself asked out as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): hallucinations...mujhe hallucination hua tha...lekin kab...kab hua tha...

Naina slapped herself internally in frustration for letting out the truth...but she tried to manage the situation as...

Naina (in a stammering tone): nahi Bhai...kuch nahi hua tha aisa...mai...wo...mai bas masak...

Abhijeet (in a firm tone): tume meri kasam hai Sweety...sach sach baata...mujhe hallucination kab hua tha...aur kya kya hua tha...sab baata mujhe...

Naina looked at Abhijeet in shock and helplessness for a second hearing his words...understanding that her brother was determined to know the truth she while lowering her gaze started to exclaim as...

Naina (in a low tone): Bhai...wo uss din aap behosh hoke nahi gire the stairs...actually hua yeh tha ki...

Naina narrated the whole incident from how Abhijeet stood over the railing to Daya's decision to keep the matter secret from Abhijeet...

Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock and disbelief hearing everything...this much of things happened but he was not aware of anything...

Suddenly the most important point of the happening...the contrary information given by him and Dev regarding the anti depressants hit his mind hard which was enough to make him more restless...

Now he understood why his brother was shocked and tensed hearing him saying that he left anti depressants 3 months ago...

He understood why his brother asked much things regarding anti depressants...and then...wait...where his brother might have gone...

Whether he went to meet Dev...Did Dev revealed everything...no...it not seems to be...because Daya's conversation with him a few seconds back was saying that he didn't get to know the truth...

But it carried something for sure...which he realized now...his words were controlled...which means something had happened...

Seeing Abhijeet puzzling to the core in tension and restlessness Naina exclaimed out of worry as...

Naina (in a low tone): Bhai...aap please...pareshan naa ho...yeh sab tho...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): nahi...nahi Sweety...I am fine...mai bas soch raha tha ki...

Abhijeet's words stopped abruptly seeing Dev coming inside the home with a mysteriously angry expression...

Abhijeet (in a managed tone): Sweety...tum iss baare mai kissiko kuch mat baaata na...haan...please...aur tum jao...taayari dekho...mai...mai abhi aata hu...

Naina nodded slightly and moved towards the kitchen while Abhijeet moved towards Dev who was already coming towards him in a rage...Before Dev could say anything Abhijeet exclaimed while looking here and there as...

Abhijeet (in tension): Dev...yeh tum ne kya...(he stopped for a second seeing his family members coming from the kitchen)...upar chalo...mujhe tum se kuch jaruri baat kar na hai...

Saying this Abhijeet was about to hold Dev's hand while Dev himself gripped Abhijeet's hand firmly with...

Dev (in a stern tone): mujhe bhi tum se baat kar na hai Abhijeet...chalo...

Saying this he started to drag Abhijeet upstairs in a hard manner with the same stern face while Abhijeet followed him in a utter confusion seeing his weird yet rage filled antics...

Daya who just entered the home in complete hurry even without waiting for Abhir and Sneha who was parking the car noticed Dev dragging Abhijeet upstairs...

He frowned in confusion for a second seeing Dev there but understanding something wrong he moved behind them without wasting more time unaware of the biggest shocker yet devastating revelation waiting for him over there...

A few minutes after...Daya went behind Abhijeet and Dev...ACP entered the home along with Freddy with a highly distressed face to meet and confront Abhijeet for hiding such a disaster...

Here the chapter ends...

Finally the truth was going to be out...

What will happen now? What was going to happen between Dev and Abhijeet? How was Dev going to confront Abhijeet for hiding Mihir's deeds? What about Daya? Will Daya get to know about the truth? What will be Daya's reaction upon hearing the truth? Will he be able to handle himself? What will happen between Duo after that? What about ACP? What was he going to do now? What storm will his arrival bring? Will he bring a blow from his side? What about the attacks happened over Daya? Who was behind them? Why did the person wanted to kill Daya? Was that Naveen or someone else?

Stay tuned to know the answers...
