Sorry for the delay friends...wo theek se rest naa kar ne ke waja se...tabiyat kharab hogayi hai meri...wo pichale kuch hafto se rest kar ne ke mauka hi nahi mil rahi thi tho hogayi kharab...

Waise...iss issue se tho kaise bhi khud ko samal ke chapter likh ne lagi thi lethe lethe hi...magar par jab yeh last Saturday aur Sunday ke CID ke episode dekh ne ke baad jo emotional damage hua usske baad tho I was totally drained off...

Mujhe yakeen hi nahi horahi thi ki TRP ke liye itna bada kadam utha liya markers ne...seriously dimaag kharab hogayi meri jisske baad tho mai likh hi nahi paayi...mujhe distraction ke jaruraat padh gayi...issliye I was thinking to keep myself away from these things for few days...

But jab aap log ke messages dekha tho mujhe laga ki I can't do that...so I started to write again aur kaise bhi again raat baar baith likh di...aur abhi update kar rahi hu...

Aur rahi baat itne reviewers gayab hone ke hai tho...mai kuch bhi nahi bol ne wali...I have decided jab mujhe lagegi ki aap logo ka interest kam horaha hai story mai tab mai likh na stop kar dugi...

CHAPTER 34: THE HEART WRENCHING SHOWDOWN

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...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 antics...

Daya who just entered the home in complete hurry even without waiting for Abhir 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...

On the other side...

On the terrace...

Dev left Abhijeet's hand in a jerk after reaching the terrace and while looking at Abhijeet in a rage was about to say something but Abhijeet stopped him with...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): Dev...hold on...tume jo bol na hai baad mai bol na...pehale yeh baatao ki Daya...Daya aaya tha kya tum se mil ne?

Dev who was on the blast mode turned rage filled seeing Abhijeet stopping him from talking...by the time Daya too reached the place but he stopped at the entrance itself...

He felt it was better to watch what was going to happen as he knew this was the only way to know about the mysterious secret...

Yes...seeing Dev's antics he understood very well that the secret was something big and it would be really tough to know the truth from his brother who didn't give any hint even unintentionally if he decides to hide something...

Daya stood up near the entrance itself in such a manner that Dev and Abhijeet couldn't see him while seeing Dev silent Abhijeet asked out as...

Abhijeet (in anger): mai tum se kyu puch raha hu Dev...jawab do...

Dev (in a stern tone): haan...aaya tha...

Abhijeet (in tension): aaya tha...kyu...kyu mil ne aaya tha wo tum se...haan...ussne...mere hallucinations ke baare mai puch ne tho...

Dev (in a stern tone): haan...wo wahi puch ne aaya tha...wo puch raha tha ki jab tum anti depressants ko chod chuke ho tho tume hallucinations kyu horaha tha...

Abhijeet (in fear): my god...yeh...sab kya...tum ne...tum ne ussko kuch baataya tho nahi na...haan...

Dev (in rage): wahi tho...nahi baataya maine...humesha ki tara tere waja se chup reha gaya...magar khash...khash mai usse sab kuch baata diya hotha Abhijeet...khash...

Abhijeet (in anger): Dev...yeh kya bakwas kar rahe ho tum...haan...aur tum ne mujh se itne badi baat chupaya kaise...in fact jhooth bola...tum ne kyu nahi baataya ki mujhe hallucinations hua tha uss din...haan...areee...Daya ne chupa ne ko kaha tho kya hua...tum baata de the na mujhe...agar tum ne baata diya hotha tho yeh problem hi nahi hua hotha na...kyu jhooth bola tum ne mujh se...haan...

Dev who couldn't hold up his frustration and hurt more than that while making a frustrated expression exclaimed as...

Dev (in rage): jab tum jhooth bol sakthe ho...baatein chupa sakte ho...tho mai kyu nahi...haan...agar mai tere keha ne paye...(correcting himself as)...sorry sorry...tere dhamki waja se itne badi baat chupa ke baita hu...tho Daya ke baat mann ke chup kyu nahi reha saktha...haan...bol...

Abhijeet (in anger): Dev...tum aise...

Dev (in rage): Mihir ka sach kyu chupaya mujh se...haan...mujhe kyu nahi baataya ki ussne tumare saath itna sab kiya hai...haan...kyu nahi baataya mujhe...

Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock hearing that query and he while trying to maintain his breath asked out as...

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

Dev (in rage): kaise bhi patha chala ho...tum bas pehale yeh baata ki tum ne mujh se itni badi baat chupaya kyu...

Abhijeet who didn't get what to say just averted his gaze and while turning towards the other side exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): wo...wo...wo tho maine socha tha ki...(giving up as)...yaar...yeh chodo...yeh itni badi baat bhi nahi hai...tum...

Dev whose anger bar raised hearing that pulled Abhijeet harshly and made him look at him with...

Dev (in rage): what...badi baat nahi hai...areee...usske waja se tumare yeh halat hogaya...tume wo literally maut ke muh mai chod diya...phir bhi tum keha rahe ho ki badi baat nahi hai...seriously Abhijeet...

Abhijeet made a defending expression while Daya's eyes widened harder in tension and confusion hearing Dev's words...his heart beat started to race sensing the upcoming storm...

He gripped the wall tightly as much as he could so that he couldn't lose the patience and interrupt their conversation in a wrong timing...

Abhijeet (in a tired tone): tho kya mai bhi usske saath wahi karu...usske jindagi khatam kar du...come on Dev...mujhe bhi usske saath same to same kar ne ki kya jaruraat hai...aur waise bhi uss ne ek mauka manga tha bas...ussne bahot gir giraya bhi tha...kaha ki usske career...family sab khatre mai aajaega...issliye...

Dev (in a stern yet taunting tone): ohhhhh...ussne gir giraya...aur aap mahan ji ne ussko maaf kar diya...hai na...wah...wah kya baat hai...tum kya bhagawan ho...jo sab ko maaf kar ke ghum rahe ho...

Abhijeet (in an irritated tone): mai usse maaf nahi kiya...maine bas mauka diya hai usse...mai bas usse accha insaan bann ne ko kaha...sab ko izzat de ne ko kaha...aur wo ab kar bhi raha hai na...

Dev (in a stern tone): haan tho...usske gunah...gunah nahi raha hai...usske galati...galati nahi raha...haan...yeh kaise insaaf hai...haan...isska matlab jo bhi tumare saath galati karege unnke saath hi accha karoge tum...hai na...aur...mai aur tumare parivaar wale...jo tum se itna pyaar kar the hai...tumare baare mai soch ke...fikar kar ke ghum the hai humara koi value hi nahi hai...humare saath humesha na insaafi hi karoge...hai na...

Abhijeet (in a defending tone): Dev...tum yeh kya...(while giving up as)...okay fine...iss baare mai hum baad mai discuss kar the hai...pehale tum mujhe yeh baatao ki...Rock star se tum ne sach nahi bola tho kya bola...matlab...kaise mannaya usse...ek minute...wo manna ki nahi manna...

Dev (in a stern yet frustrated tone): itni badi baat patha chal ne ke baad wo maan kaise jayega...haan...wo nahi manna...wo sawal paye sawal kiya...magar tere waja se mai naa kuch bol paya...aur naa hi samal bhi nahi paya...issliye...

Abhijeet (in fear): issliye kya?

Dev (in a managed tone): maine usse tumare paas bhej diya...yeh keha ke ki wo jo bhi puch na hai wo tum se hi puche...tum hi jawab de sakthe ho...

Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock and disbelief hearing that...out of shock and restlessness he held Dev firmly by shoulders with...

Abhijeet (in shock): kya...yeh kya kar diya Dev tum ne...kyu kiya aise...ab mai kya...aree...kuch keha ke samal le the na...aise kyu...

Dev (in rage): kyu...kyu samalu mai...haan...aur kaise samalu...haan...yeh chupa ne jaise koi baat hai kya...nahi na...phir...(after a pause)...dekho Abhijeet...isski upar yeh baat chupaya nahi jaa saktha...aur issliye mai tere koi madat bhi nahi kar saktha tha...aur naa hi mai kar na chatha hu...samjhe...aur...waise bhi ek naa ek din iss sach ko samne aana hi tha na...tho aaj kyu nahi...aane do sach sab ke samne...

Abhijeet who turned highly restless hearing Dev's words...felt his breath got clogged...he started to breathe heavily while his sinuses turned irregular...

He held his chest for a second as if trying to grip his breath and while nodding his head in a negative manner held Dev harshly with...

Abhijeet (in restlessness): nahi...nahi...Dev...yeh kya bakwas kar rahe ho tum...aisa nahi hosaktha...aisa nahi hosaktha...yeh sach kabhi bhi kissike bhi samne nahi aasaktha hai...kabhi nahi aasakta...mai kabhi nahi aane duga...

Daya's heart started to bounce more and more harder seeing Abhijeet's restless antics and words...he gripped the wall more and more stronger to control his fear and tension...as the tension regarding the secret which their conversation carrying was getting heavier with time...

Dev who became perplexed for a second seeing Abhijeet's restlessness while making a helpless expression started to exclaim as...

Dev (in frustration): Abhijeet...yeh kya bol rahe ho tum...aise kaise hosakta hai...haan...tum khud jaan the ho ki yeh sach jyada din nahi chupaya jaatha...ek naa ek din bahar aayi jaatha...aur shayad wo din aaj hai...issliye...khud ko tayaar kar lo...aur sach ka samna karo...Daya ko sach...

Abhijeet (in frustrated yet restless tone): stop it Dev...just stop it...maine kaha na...kissiko koi sach nahi pata chal ne duga...aur Rock star ko tho bikul bhi nahi...samjhe...itne dino se mai itna mehnat issliye tho nahi kar raha tha na ki yeh sach sab ke samne aajaaye...aur sab ka dil tut jaye...haan...nahi...nahi...mai aisa nahi hone duga...aise bikul nahi hone duga...mai...kuch...

Dev made a highly frustrated yet helpless face and was about to say something but Abhijeet who reached the top of restlessness continued to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in restlessness): maine...maine socha ki jab sab aur bigad ne lagega tab kahi chala jauga...magar lag tha hai abhi jaana padega...abhi jaana padhega...right...I have to go...I have to go somewhere immediately...

Dev's eyes widened in shock and he was taken aback hearing Abhijeet's words which obviously means that he was already in plan to leave everyone even if he remained silent...

Daya felt a hard blow in his mind and heart hearing Abhijeet's words which was enough to bring more crack in his fragile patience...

His brother was planning to leave them...but why...for what...his mind got blocked with the clot of confusion and rising tension...

Dev who felt like being betrayed by his friend looked at Abhijeet in complete disbelief...he couldn't tolerate Abhijeet's antics anymore...

He held Abhijeet in a complete rage and disbelief and then started to jerk him harshly while exclaiming as...

Dev (in rage): kya kaha tum ne...haan...kya kaha...kahi chale jaoge...haan...matlab yeh sab chal raha tha tumare dimaag mai itne dino se...haan...mujhe laga tha ki tum khush reha ne ke khoshsis kar rahe ho...magar tum...tum already hum sab ko chod ke jane ke planning mai hi ho...hai na...haan...how could you Abhijeet...how could you do this to us...itna bada dhoka Abhijeet...how dare you...how dare you...

Abhijeet who was at the peak of restlessness and tension jerked Dev's hand in frustration while exclaiming as...

Abhijeet (in frustration): haan...haan...mai sab ko chod ke jaane ke planning mai hi hu...dhoka hi de raha hu...patha hai mujhe...par aur kya karu mai...bolo...kya karu mai...haan...aur koi raasta tho nahi hai na mere paas...

Tears started to flow from Abhijeet's eyes in a speed while saying this...but he without caring about them started to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a broken tone): mai sab ko sach kaise bolu Dev...kaise...aur kya bolu...mai...mai...sab ko...kaise baatao ki mujhe brain tumor hua hai jo mujhe aur mere jindagi ko khaye jaa raha hai...aur kaise bolu ki mere paas jyada wakt nahi baccha hai ab...aur mai mar ne wala hu...haan...kaise baatao...

Daya's eyes widened in shock and disbelief...he was literally taken aback and turned numb to the core hearing the ultimate revelation done by his brother...

His brain couldn't digest such a big fat truth in one go...his heart couldn't handle such a great storm at that moment...

The revelation was beyond the limit of his bearing capacity...even though he was expecting something big from Dev and Abhijeet's antics and their conversation...he didn't think to this extent...

This extent was something he would never ever think...his brother was saying those things which he couldn't even dream of in his wildest dream...

He couldn't gasp anything...he couldn't even breathe...he felt like being trapped in a place without oxygen...his sinuses got blocked and his breath ragged...

Only Abhijeet's last few words regarding the brain tumor and his life expectancy were roaming and echoing in his ears...

While Daya was totally dumped by the shock Abhijeet who was dumped by emotional rush continued to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a broken tone): mujh se nahi hoga Dev...I can't handle such a situation...mujh mai itne himmat nahi hai...sab ko sach bol ne ke aur...unnko takleef mai dekh ne ki tho bikul bhi nahi hai...issliye hi maine socha ki jab mai khud ko handle kar ne ke halat khone lauga tab mai koi baghana banna ke yahan se kahi dur chala jauga...aur wahan jaake...apne bhai ke saath...apne parivaar ke saath...tum sab ke saath bithaye huye meethe palo ko yaad kar ke mar jauga...

Dev looked at Abhijeet with lots of cracks in his eyes which indicates how much his heart was broken by hearing his friend's words...

Daya who was already stunned to the core turned more numb hearing this...everything was getting more and more heavy to handle by his heart...

He couldn't gasp...handle or tolerate anything...everything was beyond his imagination level...his mind was totally blocked with the words of his brother...

Unable to bear the heaviness in heart and raising storm in his blocked mind...his already numb body started to lose the control over itself...

He started to mis-balance and unknowingly entered the terrace region with a highly shuffling steps and fell on his knees on the next second with a thud losing all the energy...

Abhijeet looked at Dev who was looking at him with a broken eyes...he felt bad for his friend who was bearing everything along with him without any reason...

Unable to see his friend in the broken state anymore Abhijeet while gulping down his tears and emotions was about to say something...

But he was forced to stop...upon hearing a thud sound followed by a shocking painful mumble from behind him as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): nahi...nahi...yeh nahi...hosaktha...yeh nahi...

Abhijeet's eyes widened in shock recognizing the voice and he turned around in a jerk and restlessness as a reflex in a full force...

Dev too looked behind and became shocked seeing Daya sitting on the floor in a devastated condition...

On the other side...

In the hall...

The whole Khurana family except Naina who were coming towards the hall became surprised to see ACP standing there...

They all exchanged a glance and moved towards ACP while Atharv welcomed ACP inside the house with a warm smile as...

Atharv (in a polite tone): aree...sir...aap...Namaste sir...aap wahan kyu khade hai...andar aayiye na...

ACP who was not even able to smile back just entered the house while letting his eyes wander in search of Abhijeet...

Seeing ACP's gesture of looking for some one...Bhoomika who guessed it to be Daya exclaimed out as...

Bhoomika (in a soft tone): Daya...ghar paye nahi hai...bahar gaya hua tha...abhi tak tho aajana chahiye tha...pata nahi kaha reha gaya...

Abhir who just entered the home after parking the car along with his wife Sneha hearing Bhoomika's words exclaimed out of confusion as...

Abhir (in confusion): Maa...Daya tho kab ka aagaya hai...matlab wo mere saath hi aaya tha...aur pehale hi andar aagaya tha...

Bhoomika (in a managed tone): accha...tho shayad kamre mai hoga...mai jaake...

ACP (interrupted in a stammering tone as): nahi...matlab...mai Daya se nahi...Abhijeet se mil ne aaya tha...kuch...baat kar na tha uss se...aap bula sakthe hai Abhijeet ko...

Everyone exchanged a glance in confusion hearing that for a second thinking why ACP might want to meet Abhijeet while Atharv who started to sense the tension in ACP's face asked out as...

Atharv (in worry): kya baat hai sir...Abu se kya baat kar na hai aap ko...matlab...aap kaafi pareshan lag rahe hai...sab theek hai...

ACP who didn't get how to say the matter looked at Freddy in distress for a second and then turned towards Atharv with...

ACP (in a stammering tone): Atharv ji...wo...

ACP was forced to stop as Naina entered the scene literally running while calling her parents in a loud yet terrified tone...

Everyone looked at her in a jerk hearing her loud voice while she reached near them and started to exclaim in a tense manner as...

Naina (in a stammering tone): Mumma...Papa...wo Bhai...Bhai ke baare mai...TV mai...kuch...

ACP and Freddy frowned in a confusion while others exchanged a glance in tension...unable to handle the tension Gayatri asked out as...

Gayatri (in worry): kya bol rahe ho Naina...kya aaya hai TV mai Abu ke baare mai...usska koi interview aaya kya?

Naina (in a complete restlessness): nahi...matlab patha nahi...wo...meri friend ke phone aayi thi...wo keha rahi thi...Bhai ke photo dikha rahe hai news channel paye...kissi aur doctor ke photo ke saath...aur...wo kuch...kuch bhi bol rahi thi...mujhe...mujhe...kuch samjh nahi aaraha hai...

ACP and Freddy got tensed assuming something with her words while everyone else looked at her in confusion and distress while Atharv moved towards the TV in a hurry with...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): rukho Sweety...mai TV on kar tha hu...

Saying this Atharv switched on the TV and kept a news channel...but the news on the TV made them numb to the core...

The news channel was showing a breaking news with Abhijeet's photo along with a video of Mihir going with ACP along the corridor of the hospital...along with these a voice over of the news reader could be heard as...

" Taasha khabar...famous hospital...Healthy life hospital ke Dr Mihir ne kiya bada apraadh...Apne hi hospital ke CEO Dr Abhijeet Khurana...jo ki ek jaane manne neurosurgeon hai...unnke reports badalwa ke kiya hai unnke jaan ke saath kilwadh...Sach jaan ke hospital ke medical director Dr Satya ne karwaya Dr Mihir ko CID walo ke madat se giraftaar...

Dharsal...Dr Abhijeet Khurana ko brain tumor hua hai...jisske baare mai wo khud bekhabar the kuch din pehale tak...kyuki jab bhi wo koi test le the Dr Mihir ne unnke medical reports badi chalaki se chedchad kar ke...ussko normal dikhaya the aaye hai kahi saalo se...taki wo Dr Abhijeet ko jaan se maar sake...

Sunn ne mai aaraha hai ki yeh sab Dr Mihir ne Dr Abhijeet ke upar ke jealousy ke chal the...unnke growth se jhel ke kiya hai...taki Dr Abhijeet ko wo humesha ke liye apne raaste se hatt sake...

Sunn ne mai yeh bhi aaraha hai ki ab abhi haali mai hi Dr Abhijeet ko apne beemari ka patha chala hai...jo ki apne aakiri stage tak pauch chuka hai...aur patha chala ki unnke bacch ne ke umeed surgery ke baad bhi bahot jyada kam hai...

Aise mai kya kar ne wale hai Dr Abhijeet...kaise bacchaye khud ko dushman ke chal se...wo bacch bhi paayege ya nahi...ab kya hoga Dr Mihir ka?...kya CID dega Dr Mihir ko sahi saza?...

Saare sawalo ke jawab jaan ne ke liye judhe rahi hai humare channel ke saath..."

The news went as a thunder into everyone's head and body which thrashed their ability to gasp or understand anything completely...

ACP and Freddy exchanged a glance in high shock and confusion thinking how and when this mishap reached the news channel...

Because ACP and Satya did Mihir's arrest silently for the sake of Abhijeet as they didn't want his disease to go public...that too when his own family was unaware of the matter...

That was why ACP didn't even put handcuffs on Mihir's hand and took him out of the hospital through the back door so that too avoid suspicion of hospital staff and the public over there in the hospital...

But the media was showing the news that too along with the video proof of the CID team taking Mihir along with them...

How?...how the media got this video clipping...how they got to know about Mihir's deeds and Abhijeet's condition...that too in such a detailed manner...how...

While ACP and Freddy were highly confused and tensed seeing the news...family were too numb to react...they were standing like a statue while looking at the TV without any blink...

The total place was engulfed with a cold silence...only the news reader's voice was echoing all over the hall...

The cold silence was broken first by Abhir who while reviving himself from the shock exclaimed as...

Abhir (in disbelief): my god...yeh...yeh sab kya dikha rahe hai yeh log...Abhijeet ko brain tumor kaise...

Kavya (in disbelief): wahi tho...aise kaise hosaktha hai...humare Abu ko...yeh kaise...

Bhoomika (in a stammering tone): nahi...nahi...yeh sab...sab bakwas hai...jhooth hai yeh sab...yeh...yeh news channel wale kuch bhi dikha rahe hai...

Gayatri (in a stammering yet angry tone): haan...aise ghatiya masak kaise kar sakthe yeh log...inn logo ko chod na nahi chahiye...Atharv...kuch karo...inn logo ko accha sabak sikhao...aur...

She stopped abruptly seeing Atharv's face who was still standing like a statue with a bewildered expression...

Atharv reached another world of shock and disbelief seeing the news as his mind got blocked with the word brain tumor itself...

His heart struck in the past suffering and pain with the encounter of the same disease because of which he lost his wife...love...Abhijeet's biological mom...

Now...again...again the encounter with the same dreadful disease...which already took away his wife...and now behind his son...

No...no...this couldn't be true...this news should be fake...or this should be a bad dream...a night mare for sure...

Seeing Atharv blocked in trance Gayatri jerked him hard while shouting as...

Gayatri (in a loud tone): Atharv...kuch bolo...

Atharv who jerked out of the painful dilemma looked at Gayatri in a haphazard way...seeing which Gayatri was about to exclaim but Atharv himself started to exclaim out of fear...restlessness and tension as...

Atharv (in shock): Abu...ko...bhi...brain tumor...(in fear)...nahi...nahi...aisa nahi hosaktha...aisa kabhi nahi hosaktha...mere Abu ko kuch nahi hosaktha...yeh log jhooth bol rahe hai...sab bakwas hai...sab...mai...mai inn logo ko choduga nahi...

Saying this he took out his phone and was about to call someone but stopped when his eyes fell on ACP who was standing with a highly distressed face...

Then only he realised ACP's presence in the news and obviously in front of his eyes till then...

He moved towards ACP in a haphazard way and then while trying to handle his emotions exclaimed as...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): sir...yeh...news mai...yeh sab kya...kya dikha rahe hai sir...yeh...yeh...doctor ko aap ne arrest kiya hai kya...matlab yeh sab...yeh sab...sach...

Atharv who couldn't even dare to say those words closed his eyes for a second to control his fear exclaimed as...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): sir...keha dijiye na ki yeh sab...jhooth hai...yeh video fake hai...sab kuch jhooth hai...please sir...keha dijiye na...please...

ACP who was already standing with a cracked yet broken heart knowing Abhijeet's condition looked at Atharv in complete helplessness hearing his words...

Abhir (in tension): haan sir...aap hi boliye na...aap aise kissiko arrest kiya hai kya...haan...ya phir yeh log aise hi dikha rahe hai...boliye na sir...

Bhoomika (in fear): please sir...boliye na...

Atharv who couldn't handle his fear and tension anymore joined his hands in front of ACP with...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): sir...mai aap ke aage haath jodh tha hu...please sir...keha dijiye na ki yeh sab jhooth hai...please sir...

ACP looked at Freddy in helplessness and then at everyone in pain thinking how to disclose...most probably make them accept the devastating truth...

Yes...accept...because the truth was already obvious in front of everyone...but these innocent hearts were not ready to accept it...

Obviously how could he expect them to accept or digest the truth...when he himself couldn't...

He just knew Abhijeet for only 3 months...he himself couldn't take this painful truth...then how could he expect these souls...Abhijeet's family to take it one go...

But whatever may be the situation till then he knew that he has to answer these people now...he has to open up the truth he knew...

He thought he would talk with Abhijeet first but it was already too late...the truth was already out...and most importantly it was too late for the disclosure which was buried for so many years...

It was important to bring the obvious facts as soon as possible...solely for the sake of Abhijeet's life who was going very close to the dead...that too without giving any hint to his family...

While thinking all these and while filling up some air inside his lungs to gain some strength ACP moved towards Atharv and held his hand firmly with...

ACP (in a stammering tone): I am sorry Atharv ji...magar...yehi sach hai...news mai jo bhi dikha rahe hai...wo sab...wo sab sach hai...Abhijeet ko brain tumor hua hai...aur wo ab...shayad...

ACP stopped abruptly feeling zero words and courage to complete his sentence...and looked at Atharv who was already turned more numb...

Not only Atharv the whole people standing over there went into a numb state as the revelation hit hard over them again...that was too strong than before...

Everyone were just standing and looking at ACP in complete shock and disbelief while trying to process and gasp the truth...

On the other side...

On the terrace...

Abhijeet felt a hard harsh blow in his heart and brain seeing his brother...especially the devastated condition in which he was sitting on the floor which obviously means that his brother has heard everything...

Ohhh noo...he heard everything...it means he got to know about everything...his biggest secret...his disease...his death...and even his plan...

What the hell has happened...this was what he never ever wanted to happen even in his wildest dream...but...

It has happened...that too in such a way...he felt speechless...he turned too numb and started to drown in high shock and restlessness seeing his brother's condition...

The shock...tension...and restlessness...brought a high pressure to his brain which triggered the tumor to maximize the symptoms...

The headache raised...the dizziness made its way and darkness started to cover his eyes which made him mis-balance...

But before he could lose himself completely Dev who revived himself from the shock started to rush towards Daya while exclaiming as...

Dev (in tension): my god...Daya...

Abhijeet who was drowning in darkness came out of that in a jerk hearing Dev's words...and looked at his brother in worry with the blurry vision...

Even though his vision was blurry...it was enough to bring him to reality...and show him off his brother's devastated state knowing the truth...

Ignoring his deteriorating health he rushed towards his brother in a haphazard way while jerking his head to gain a better vision...

Dev who already reached near Daya kneeled beside in a worry and tension...then while gripping his heart he pressed Daya's shoulder softly with...

Dev (in a stammering tone): Daya...

Daya who was completely tangled in the unbelievable revelation that happened...didn't react...or else he couldn't react...

His mind was not in the condition to process anything...it was just clumsy...occupied by the indigestible words of his brother...

Seeing Daya's devastated facial expression Dev understood that he was still in the trance of the revelation that happened...so he slightly jerked Daya with...

Dev (in tension): Daya...

Daya who merely came out of shock and disbelief looked at Dev in a highly haphazard way...while Abhijeet who came near them and kneeled beside them with...

Abhijeet (in fear): Rock star...

Daya who was looking at Dev haphazardly shifted his gaze towards Abhijeet hearing his voice...his mind again reeled the words of Abhijeet in repetition while his eyes were looking at him in a perplexed manner...

His mind was trying to process his brother's words...started to analyze everything in a better way...still in the bubble of shock and disbelief...

Even though his brain started to understand the painful truth...his heart couldn't accept it...or to say in a better way...he didn't want to accept...

Seeing Daya completely engulfed in shock Abhijeet turned more restless and tense...he while glancing at Dev once... looked at Daya and was about to say something...

But Daya who wanted to prove his brother's words false to his own brain...turned towards Dev in a hurry and held his hand with...

Daya (in a stammering tone): Dev...yeh...yeh...abhi...jo bhi bakwas...kar raha tha...wo sab...sab jhooth hai na...haan...yeh...yeh...aise...aise hi masak...(while trying to control his irregular sinuses)...masak kar raha tha...haan...bolo...

Dev looked at Daya with a cracked eyes and helpless expression hearing that and then looked at Abhijeet who closed his eyes in pain...

His brother's innocent words were enough to kill his dying heart...it was more than enough to shatter him more...

While Dev was looking at Abhijeet in the peak of anger and pain Daya who was desperate to get the answer held Dev firmly with...

Daya (in a loud tone): mai...tum se kuch puch raha hu Dev...jawab do...yeh bakwas hi kar raha tha na...haan...

Dev looked at Daya in pain...he knew that one day he would be in this particular state for sure...but he was not prepared...

He knew he couldn't be too...as it was such a helpless...painful situation for which he couldn't be prepared at any time...

Dev looked at Daya for a second in pain and then at Abhijeet who nodded his head in negative as if asking not to say anything...

But Dev was determined to open up the truth which was already in the air...nodded his head in negative as if saying that not now...not more than this...

If it was another day then he would be finding ways to wrap up the situation but today he didn't want to...

He was numb all these days just thinking that his expelling of truth might force Abhijeet to move in a drastic path and he might die alone...

But after coming to know from Abhijeet himself that he was planning to go away from everyone however...he lost all his coolness...

He turned highly disheartened...He was literally fed up with his friend's antics of hiding and planning silly yet drastic things...

Seeing Dev not convinced Abhijeet turned more restless...he while trying to manage his irregular sinuses turned towards Daya with...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): haan...haan Rock star...sab bakwas hi...

Daya who was at the top of disbelief looked at Abhijeet in a stern manner and exclaimed in rage as...

Daya (in a stern yet loud tone): maine tum se kuch pucha...(after a pause)...nahi na...(in a chewing tone)...then you just...(stressing)...shut up...shut up...

Abhijeet who got literally shivered to the core hearing his brother's tone stopped abruptly while Daya turned towards Dev and jerked him badly with...

Daya (in a firm tone): aur Dev...tum chup kyu ho...jawab do mujhe...(in a loud tone)...bolo...yeh sab bakwas...

Dev (interrupted in a broken tone as): yeh sab bakwas nahi hai Daya...bakwas nahi hai...(in a teary tone)...khash Daya...khash yeh sab bakwas hotha...khash yeh sach nahi hotha...magar yehi sach hai Daya...yehi...(after a pause)...isse brain tumor hua hai Daya...aur wo stage 3 mai...pauch chuka hai...aur...usske waja se...(after a pause)...yeh...mar raha hai Daya...yeh mar raha hai...aur mai kuch bhi nahi...

Dev stopped abruptly feeling a blockage in his throat while closing his eyes in pain and tears feeling a great burden in heart...

Abhijeet who was looking at Dev in horror hearing his outburst looked at Daya in great fear who was totally taken aback hearing Dev's confession...

Dev's words turned to be a reality check to Daya's heart which was not ready to accept the truth till then...struggling hard with his own brain to prove it wrong...

But now hearing Dev's confession...the reality hit his heart badly...now his heart started to gasp the truth which was hitting him like a storm...

The realization blocked his brain...his senses completely...his total body went numb...he couldn't even take a breath...he felt like being pulled into a bubble of trance...shock and disbelief...

His grip over Dev got loosened and he slumped back out of the shock and sat on the floor losing himself while looking at Dev in complete disbelief...

He could feel a void getting created in his heart as his lungs started to starve for oxygen...which rushed up a tightness in his chest...

He held his chest tightly feeling the high rushing pain and started trying to gasp for air unintentionally out of starvation while exclaiming as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): brain tumor...mar ne...mar ne wala hai...aise...kaise...nahi...nahi...aisa nahi...aisa nahi...

He stopped abruptly feeling the rising tightness because of which he held his more tightly while trying to struggle for air...

Abhijeet who turned more restless in no time seeing his brother's condition held his brother immediately with...

Abhijeet (in fear): Rock star...Rock star...yeh kya...please saas lo mere bhai...please breathe...come on breathe yaar...

Daya who was struggling to breathe till then looked at Abhijeet in a haphazard way hearing his tensed voice...

He could feel the high emotional rush rising in his heart beyond the void seeing his brother as everything he heard from him and Dev started to echo in his ears which was enough to break the bubble of trance...

He while coming to the reality and while trying to breathe looked at his brother in a highly distressed yet fear filled manner...

Yes...fear filled...the fear of losing his brother raised in his heart beyond the shock and disbelief as soon as his mind and heart realized and gasped everything in a proper manner...

That fear made him take rapid breaths as the tension has risen in every nerve of his body within seconds of the complete realization...

He retrieved himself to the kneeled position again in the next second and held his brother from shoulders in a haphazard way with his trembling hands and started to exclaim as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): tum...tum...tume...yeh sab...yeh sab...aise...nahi...tume...kuch nahi hosaktha...tum...tum mujhe chod ke nahi...jaa sakthe...aise nahi...

He stopped abruptly realizing something else...which came as a blow and hit his brain with a force...

His brother was suffering from such a big issue...and he was unaware of anything...in fact he didn't even have a clue regarding this mess...

Wait...he was unaware...no...obviously not...his brother has intentionally hidden this bitter drastic truth from him...and family...with his best ever hiding skils with which he could hide anything...

Obviously His brother was himself a doctor...and he might be definitely aware of this mess for a long time...but he has chosen to be quiet and keep his family in darkness...

Even now...he was planning to leave them all alone for hiding this truth...and was planning to suffer and die all alone somewhere else...

Why...why did he do this to them...he don't know...for how long he was hiding all these...he don't know...how long his brother was suffering all alone...he don't know...When he was planning to leave them...he don't know...

He doesn't know anything...nothing...his brother kept him in a deep darkness all these days by pretending to be happy...and making them happy...

This means...he was not happy...he didn't realize anything...he was just acting to be happy so that he could hide this truth...and leave them without any clue of anything one day...

So He fooled him...he betrayed him...and everyone with the fake happy and energetic antics all these days...

This realization brought a sharp hurt in his heart...in fact set fire in his heart in no time...which started to spread enormously..

All other emotions except the hurt started to burn in the fire...only the anger... disappointment and obviously hurt was emitting in his eyes...and all over the body...

Here...Abhijeet who turned highly emotional and helpless...hearing his brother's words and seeing his devastated condition...looked at him with a cracked eyes...

He while trying to manage his emotions and irregular sinuses gripped Daya's hand with his trembling hands and was about to say something...

But Daya who already started to burn in the fire set in his heart gripped Abhijeet harshly and firmly from the shoulders and asked out as...

Daya (in rage): tumare himmat kaise huyi Abhijeet hum sab se itne badi baat chupa de ne ki...haan...himmat kaise hua tumara...

Abhijeet who was tangled in the emotional rush looked at his brother in a haphazard way seeing his brother's sudden change in emotions...

He couldn't react...he couldn't say anything instantly as he was utterly confused seeing his brother's change in gesture...

Daya (in rage): hum sab se itne jhooth bola hai...itne dino se khush hone ke natak kiya hai...upar se hume chod ke jaane ke bhi plan bannaya hai tum ne...how dare you Abhijeet...how dare you...

Abhijeet who shivered with Daya's tone looked at him in a jerk...but he couldn't maintain the gaze seeing the amount of pain and hurt in his brother's eyes...so he lowered his gaze immediately unable to say anything...

Daya who couldn't handle his anger and hurt tightened his grip over Abhijeet's shoulder and exclaimed as...

Daya (in rage): kab se chupa rahe ho yeh sab...haan...

Abhijeet didn't even dare to look up at his brother...he just closed his eyes in pain and remained silent...

But Daya who was at the top of anger and hurt couldn't bear his brother's silence any more...out of anger Daya jerked Abhijeet badly with...

Daya (in rage): maine pucha kab se chupa rahe ho yeh sab...jawab do damn it...

Abhijeet who again shivered with that tone looked up at Daya who was looking at him with the same gaze...but understanding the bar level of his brother's anger...he while trying to manage his irregular sinuses exclaimed as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): wo...wo...3...3 mahino se...

Daya got triggered hearing that as he assumed that Abhijeet was saying lies again...obviously after hearing and seeing his brother's antics of hiding such things...how could anyone expect him to believe...

Moreover it would be tough for anyone to believe that Abhijeet...who himself a neurosurgeon was unaware of his own disease until it turned fatal...how was it possible?...

Like Dev and Siddharth...Daya too couldn't believe that...his disbelief and anger raised more which triggered badly...so he jerked Abhijeet with...

Daya (in rage): tum ab bhi jhooth bol rahe ho Abhijeet...seriously...haan...areee...tera pura jhooth pakada gaya hai...saara sach bahar aagaya hai...aur tum ab bhi jhooth bol ne ke khoshsis kar rahe ho...haan...wo bhi itna ghatiya jhooth...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): nahi Rock star...mai jhooth nahi bol raha hu...mere vishwas...

Daya (in hurt filled tone): tere vishwas karu...tere...haan...tumare itna saare karaname kar ne ke baad bhi tum mujh se expect bhi kaise kar the ho ki mai tum paye bharosa karu...haan...aur baat rahi iss baat ke tho...agar tum mere tara ek aam insaan hothe na...tho bhi mai maan le tha magar...tum khud ke doctor ho...in fact neurosurgeon ho...aur tume 3 mahine pehale tak nahi patha apne beemari ke baare mai...haan...

Abhijeet made a helpless face and tried to speak up but Daya who was highly mad over his brother continued to talk as...

Daya (in rage): iss baat paye vishwas kar ne tak ki bewakoof nahi hu mai...samjhe...mujhe bhi patha hai ki yeh ek din mai chapad paad ke aane jaise beemari nahi hai...bahot wakt le tha hai iss stage tak pauch ne mai...aur bahot symptoms bhi dikha raha hoga...jo aam insaan nahi pechaan saha tho theek hai...magar tum jaise kaabil neurosurgeon ko kaise patha nahi hoga...haan...tum itne bhi...

Dev who was silent till then thinking this to be the much needed and much expected confrontation for Abhijeet...couldn't keep numb over this topic...as he too suspected the same 3 months ago while Abhijeet was literally unaware of anything...so he came forward in defense for Abhijeet with...

Dev (in a managed tone): Daya...Abhijeet jhooth nahi bol raha hai...isse sach mai 3 mahine pehale hi patha chala iss brain tumor ke baare mai...jab issko seizures hua tha tabhi...(after a pause)...in fact jab hum ne test kiya tha isske seizures hone ka karan patha kar ne ke liye...tabhi yeh baat hume patha chala aur hum ne hi...

He stopped abruptly seeing Daya looking at him in disbelief and shock hearing another shocker...regarding the seizures...

Daya became numb for a second again...his grip over Abhijeet got loosened while looked at Dev and Abhijeet in complete disbelief and shock...

Wait...what...They found the disease when the seizures happened...then it means...it means that like the hallucinations...the seizures too didn't happen because of the anti depressants...

So...everything was a lie...every time they lied...His brother and his friend has fooled them in all the possible aspects all these days...

Daya (in disbelief): matlab...wo seizures...yeh hallucinations...sab...anti depressants ke waja se nahi...yeh iss brain tumor ke waja se hua hai...hai na...

Dev looked at Daya in a guilt for a second and then unable to maintain the gaze he lowered his eyes while nodding slightly in positive...

Daya made a highly disbelief yet hurt filled expression seeing that and looked at Abhijeet who too lowered his gaze out of pain and guilt...

That was enough...that was the limit for Daya's patience...he couldn't handle or tolerate these back to back shockers...lies...betrayal any more...

He while determining something in his mind gripped Abhijeet's hand tightly and stood up pulling him upward in a force while exclaiming as...

Daya (in a firm tone): chalo...

Abhijeet who stood up as a reflex with Daya's sudden pull made a perplexed expression and asked out in a flow as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): kahan...

Daya (in a stern tone): tum ne dhoka sirf mujhe nahi diya hai na...nainsaafi sirf mere saath nahi kiya hai...niche aur bhi log hai jinnko tum ne dhoka diya hai...jisske saath nainsaafi kiya hai...issliye insaaf bhi unnke samne hi hoga...chalo niche...

Saying this he started to walk while dragging Abhijeet who became shocked to the core hearing Daya's words...he turned restless in seconds...

No...never...he didn't let anyone know this truth more than this...already it was going beyond his tolerance and handling level...if his family too got to know the truth...he couldn't handle himself or anything...he didn't have a single drop of courage left inside him to face anything now...

He turned more and more restless thinking all these...He stopped his tracks abruptly as if restricting which automatically made Daya to stop who while making a rage filled expression turned towards Abhijeet and was about to say something but Abhijeet who was engulfed by tension and restlessness started to exclaim as...

Abhijeet (in a restless tone): nahi...nahi...nahi Rock star...aise mat karo...please...aise mat karo...kissiko kuch mat baatana mere bhai...please...yaar...please abhi nahi Rock star...abhi...

Daya (interrupted in a rage as): abhi nahi tho kab...haan...kab...tere mar ne ke baad...haan...chathe kya ho tum...haan...mai bhi tere iss dost ke tara chup chap baith ke tere maut ke tamasa dekhu...haan...

Dev looked at Daya in complete pain and guilt hearing that while Abhijeet continued to look at Daya with the same restless yet distressed gaze...

His mind was completely blocked with the fear which was not even letting him to understand his brother's hurt and pain now...it just wanted to stop the truth from spreading...tangled in fear he again tried as...

Abhijeet (in a stammering tone): tum samjh nahi rahe ho Rock star...aise mat karo...mai nahi...

Daya (in rage): mujhe kuch nahi samjh na hai Abhijeet...pichale baar jab tum ne uss Amar ke baatein chupaya tab maine tume samjha...in fact support bhi kiya...kyuki mujhe patha hai ki tum ne wo baatein sab ke balai ke liye chupaya tha...magar yeh baat...iss mai naa tumare balai naa kissi aur ki...iss mai sirf aur sirf barbadi hai...barbadi...issliye don't even dare Abhijeet...

Abhijeet made a helpless face and tried to speak up but Daya interrupted him in anger as...

Daya (in a stern tone): abhi mai tere koi baat nahi sunnuga Abhijeet...mai tere koi bhi baatao mai nahi aane wala hu...samjhe...chup chap chalo...aur abhi tume jo bhi bol na sab ke samne bol...chal...

Saying this he started to storm towards the downstairs while dragging Abhijeet in a full force...Abhijeet who didn't get how to prevent the mess just continued to struggle hard to free himself from Daya's grip while asking Daya to stop and leave him...

But Daya who reached the beyond the limit of tolerance didn't even pay a single heed to his brother...he just walking a ahead towards the hall while dragging him in a full force...

Dev who understood the heaviness of the upcoming storms took a deep breath as if preparing himself for them and moved behind Duo...

On the other side...

In the hall...

The whole place turned numb hearing ACP's words...the truth was too heavy for them to digest...

Atharv...Bhoomika and Gayatri didn't even gasp after the revelation...while Naina...Kavya and her children were looking traumatized...

Abhir who was taken aback held his head in shock and tension while Sneha looked at him in tension...

ACP closed his eyes in pain seeing the condition of the family...being a CID officer...the toughest part of his job was the responsibility of informing the death of people to their family...

Every time it has been tough...harder...today the situation was even more harder as he was informing the family regarding the news of their lovable going to die...which was a highly distress filled situation...

Atharv who was standing still like a statue hearing ACP's words mis-balanced out of shock and took back steps while dangling badly and exclaiming as...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): aisa nahi hosaktha...mere bacche ko...kuch nahi hosaktha...kuch nahi...hosaktha...aap jhooth...jhooth bol rahe hai...aap...

While saying this itself he completely mis-balanced and was about to fall but Abhir recovered himself from the shock...held him timely and supported him with...

Abhir (in worry): Papa...samal ke...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): kaise samalu Abhir...dekh na yeh kya...kya bol rahe hai...mere bacche ke baare mai...mere bacche ko wo...

Atharv who didn't have a courage to complete the words took some restless breaths while Abhir looked at him in pain and worry...

ACP who felt it was necessary to confide Atharv seeing his condition was about to say something but was forced to stop when he heard Abhijeet's voice as...

Abhijeet (in distress): Rock star...please...mere baat suno...aise mat kar...Daya...please...

Daya didn't budge...he just made more fuming expressions and somehow came downstairs dragging Abhijeet in a highly rage filled manner...

Seeing his family already present there...he was about to exclaim but stopped noticing something wrong in the aroma of the place...

Then only he noticed the devastated facial expressions of his family members and ACP's presence there along with Freddy who also seems to be distressed...

He while frowning in confusion and worry was about to ask out his concern but stopped abruptly hearing something from the TV side...

He turned towards the TV in confusion and became shocked to the core seeing the news displaying over there...

Another shocker...hit his brain and heart even more harder...his grip over Abhijeet's hand loosened automatically...

So this was the reason why his brother was unaware of his condition...so his brother's condition was not fate...or his negligence...it was a conspiracy...

Wait...so this was the topic over which Abhijeet and Dev were arguing for a long time initially...which means Dev was also unaware of this truth...

The shockers back to back were getting indigestible with the passing time...they were pulling him beyond the level of tolerance...

Abhijeet who was at the top of the restless turned more restless seeing their whole family members already standing there...

But his restlessness turned more dreadful and got mixed with shock and disbelief when he noticed the news on the TV...

His eyes widened...his breath got stuck and he couldn't even gasp for a second seeing the news until the realization of his whole family's presence hit his brain...

He while looking at the news in horror turned towards his family members who were standing in a highly devastated state which was enough to tell him that they too got to know regarding the truth...

No...this couldn't happen...this never ever couldn't happen...his brother...his whole family got to know the truth...

What will he do now...how would he face...how would afford to see them in pain...how...no...he couldn't...he couldn't afford to handle such a situation...

His breath turned more and more irregular...because of which he held his chest tightly as if trying to breathe...but nothing happened...

Instead the stress...distress...restlessness...tension started to clutter his brain hard...which pulled down his already deteriorated health more...

The headache and other symptoms started to rise as usual...in fact more than usual...an unknown odd feeling which he couldn't define started to raise along with them...

Unable to handle the rising symptoms and odd feeling he held his chest more and more tightly with his trembling hand which started to tremble more...

Dev who came behind Duo too became utterly shocked seeing the news and confused thinking how this reached the news channel...

While these trio were engulfed by shock...Everyone including Atharv came to reality hearing Abhijeet's voice and turned towards them in a haphazard way...

Seeing Abhijeet along with Dev and Daya...Atharv released himself from Abhir's grip and moved towards Abhijeet in complete restlessness...

Atharv held him with his trembling hands and while caressing Abhijeet's face in a restless manner asked out as...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): Abu...baccha...yeh...yeh sab kya hai baccha...yeh kya bol rahe hai...yeh ACP sir bhi kuch bhi...(while trying to manage his emotions)...tume...tume kuch nahi hua hai na baccha...haan...

Abhijeet who was struggling with the irregular sinuses...raising symptoms and especially the rising odd feeling inside him...looked at his father feeling his grip and hearing his voice...

But he couldn't react...he just could feel the headache...blurring vision everything getting more intense along with the unknown odd feeling...

Atharv who was completely drowned in fear couldn't realize Abhijeet's state...he just continued his trials to get the answer as...

Atharv (in fear): tum...tum...chup kyu ho Abu...kuch...kuch bolo na...yeh sab

Bhoomika and Gayatri too moved towards Abhijeet in a restless manner reviving themselves from the shock and while griping his shoulder asked out as with...

Bhoomika (in fear): haan baccha...yeh sab kya hai...tume...yeh sab...yeh jhooth hai na baccha...bolo...

Gayatri (in a stammering tone): haan Abu...bolo na...yeh...yeh sab jhoot hai na baccha...haan...

Abhijeet didn't reply...probably couldn't reply...he was just getting to see their faces in a blurry manner and hearing their voices and words in the distance...

The symptoms and odd feeling started to overpower him vigorously...his grip over his chest started to loosen...

Bhoomika and Gayatri too failed to notice Abhijeet's deteriorating condition because of their own perplexed state...they too just turned more restless seeing Abhijeet silent...

Daya who was looking at the TV without any blink came out of trance hearing their parents' and grandmother's query to Abhijeet...

Seeing the back to back shockers coming in front of him...which his brother was purposely hiding all these days...Daya while turning towards them started to burst out of frustration...disbelief...pain and hurt as...

Daya (in a loud yet hurt filled tone): yeh sab jhooth nahi hai...sab sach hai...sab sach...yeh brain tumor...aur shayad yeh news...sab sach hai...jo Abhijeet ne itne dino se hum se chupa ke rakha hai...

Atharv...Bhoomika and Gayatri jerked hearing Daya's sudden outburst while their grip over Abhijeet got loosened...

While Abhir...Naina and others exchanged a glance in a perplexed manner...Atharv... Bhoomika and Gayatri moved towards Daya while exchanging a disbelief filled gaze with...

Bhoomika (in a stammering tone): Guddu...tum bhi...tum bhi yehi bol rahe ho baccha...please baccha tum tho...

Atharv (in fear): haan...Champ...please tum bhi aise mat bol baccha...

Daya (in pain): mere kuch naa bol ne se sach nahi badal jaatha Mumma...Papa...yehi sach hai...aur hum iss sach se nahi bhaag sakthe...aur...

Daya's words stopped abruptly in the middle in shock seeing Abhijeet getting mis-balancing and dangling here and there...

Before he could react Abhijeet fell down on the floor harshly with a thud and his total body started to jerk and twitch badly in no time...

Daya who became terrified seeing his brother undergoing seizure rushed towards Abhijeet in a highly haphazard way while shouting out of heart as...

Daya (in a loud tone): Macron...

Dev who was standing just at a few feet away from Abhijeet became shocked to the core seeing him undergoing seizures...

His heart was engulfed by the fear rapidly remembering Siddharth's words regarding the seizures that Abhijeet won't survive if the seizure occurs even once again...

The fear made his heart pound badly...No...never...he couldn't let anything happen to his friend...he couldn't afford to lose him...

Getting highly restless and engulfed completely by fear Dev too rushed towards Abhijeet while shouting his name in a complete hurry...

Daya and Dev's loud tone made others look at Abhijeet...they became shocked...in fact turned numb seeing him jerking and twitching badly...

Atharv literally traumatized seeing that as his mind got blocked in the past remembering his wife...Abhijeet's mother undergoing the same...

While Atharv turned numb...ACP...Bhoomika and others recovering themselves from the shock rushed towards Abhijeet while shouting his name in complete fear...

Daya who reached his brother first tends to do the first aid but Dev who came near them in a hurry took the charge with...

Dev (in tension): Daya...mai...mai dekh tha hu...tum please jald se jald ambulance bulao...aur...aur Siddharth ko call kar ke inform karo...

Daya nodded haphazardly and took out his phone to dial...Abhir who came near them earlier while trying to gasp the situation as...

Abhir (in a stammering tone): Daya tum Siddharth ko call karo...mai ambulance bula tha hu...

Daya nodded again and dialed Siddharth's number while Abhir called ambulance...Dev who started doing the first aid exclaimed as...

Dev (in distress): make it fast Daya...hume jaldi se Abhijeet ko hospital le jaana padhega...warna yeh bach nahi paayega...

Daya looked at Dev in a jerk hearing that who was trying his best to revive Abhijeet totally unaware of what he said in the flow...

His heart started to bounce badly in fear hearing that but while gripping his heart...he initiated the conversation with Siddharth hearing his hello...

Bhoomika...Gayatri and others too became shocked to the core hearing Dev's words eyes...they all started to tremble in fear in no time...

Bhoomika (in fear): yeh tum kya bol rahe ho Dev...tum...tum kuch karo na...mere bacche ko bacchao...

Dev who was totally engulfed by the fear and determination to not to lose his friend without understanding the inner depth her words exclaimed as...

Dev (in tension): mai khoshsis kar raha hu Maa...aap log please...himmat rakhiye...aur please thoda hattiye...hawa aane dijiye...please...Abhijeet ko aur takleef hoga aise...

Bhoomika and others moved aside while exchanging a fear filled gaze while Atharv was standing like a statue looking at his son in a completely traumatized manner...

He wanted to react...wanted to go near his son...but the fear...the trauma has pulled him down which snatched the capability to react...

While everyone were expressing their fear in the form of tears and tension the ambulance arrived as a savior...

Dev with the help of Daya...Abhir and ward boys shifted Abhijeet to the ambulance and rushed him to the hospital...

After sometimes...

In the Healthy life hospital...

It has been a hour since Dev and Siddharth took Abhijeet into the ICCU in that dreadful state...

The total Khurana family were waiting outside the ICCU in a highly impatient yet fear filled manner while still in the trauma of seeing Abhijeet in such a state...

No one could rest themselves...their restlessness was peaking with every passing minute...everyone seems to be in a high emotional turmoil...fear...tension and what not...

Bhoomika was standing near the ICCU door while hugging Naina from the sides who was in trauma seeing her brother in such a state...

They both were shedding silent tears while breathing in a irregular manner indicating how much restless they were...

Gayatri was sitting on the chair...praying god heavily while looking at the door in a highly emotional yet impatient manner...

Kavya and her children were also sitting beside Gayatri while shedding fear filled tears in the worry for Abhijeet...

Abhir and Sneha went to take some water for everyone seeing their restless state while ACP was talking to someone over the phone with a serious yet angry expression while Freddy was looking at him in distress...

Atharv was sitting on the chair in the same traumatized state reeling the condition in which he saw his son some time ago...

That sight has been a reality check to his heart which was not believing in anyone regarding his son's health condition...

Now...seeing his son undergoing seizures only his heart realized...gasp the truth...the bitter devastating truth...

But still...still he didn't want this to be true...because he has already been a victim of the same situation which snatched his love from him...

He has no strength or courage...or tolerance left inside him to lose his son in the same thing...same way...

No...he couldn't...he couldn't afford to lose his son at least...he couldn't even afford to see him in the same pain as his own mother...

But his brain understood that it was too late...too late to be dealt with...as the news he saw...ACP's words...his son's current condition everything was emphasizing the same...

The reality hit his brain hard which made his total body tremble in fear while sinuses turned irregular...

Abhir who came back with the water became worried seeing Atharv's state...he while giving the water bottles to Sneha moved towards Atharv...

He while griping his heart sat beside Atharv and held his trembling hands softly who looked at him in a haphazard way and exclaimed as...

Atharv (in a stammering tone): mera...mera baccha...bhi...mujhe...apne Maa ke tara...chod ke...chod ke...chala tho nahi jayega na...haan...

Bhoomika...Gayatri and Kavya looked at Atharv in a high pain hearing his words while Abhir looked at him in a emotional yet helpless manner...

He didn't get what to say...how to console this broken yet traumatized soul who still didn't come out of the trauma of his wife's death...

He himself in a great tension and fear regarding Abhijeet as that sight was literally horrible...

But he knew that he couldn't break at least for these people who couldn't afford a break at this moment...so while gripping his own emotions Abhir exclaimed as...

Abhir (in a stammering tone): nahi Papa...aap please aise mat sochiye...Abhijeet ko kuch nahi hoga...wo ziddi hai...fighter hai...wo haar mann ne walo mai se nahi hai...issliye aap bhi himmat mat haariye...please...uss paye...bharosa rakhiye...wo theek hojayega...theek hojayega wo...

Atharv looked at Abhir in a highly emotional way hearing his words...he hugged Abhir while tears started to slip from his eyes in a great speed as if expelling the fear in his heart...

Abhir hugged back Atharv without saying a single word as he knew that nothing could console a broken father in this situation other than his son's well being...

While trying to support Atharv emotionally Abhir wandered his eyes around in search of Daya who seems to be absent from the scene...

Frown lines appeared on his forehead seeing Daya nowhere...which raised the tension in no time...thinking some dreadful possibility...

In the fear over the possibilities he was about to react but stopped abruptly noticing Daya standing some distance away from the ICCU in a completely devastated state...

Daya was standing with a devastated facial expression...shivering body...traumatized and distressed to the hell...while thinking about his brother...and the condition in which he saw him...

His brain was totally occupied by the thoughts of his brother and his current condition...his disease and his lies all these days...

He was thinking about his brother's weird behavior all these days which he do suspected...but couldn't suspect in such a way...

His whole suspicions was always taken in the wrong direction by his brother and his friend's proper lie...and their silence...

But now after all these messes...his mind could realize everything...every antics of his brother and the reason behind it in a different way...

For the first time when he guessed that something was terribly wrong with his brother after their heated argument over his transfer which could be the day when his brother might got to know about his disease...Dev smoothly diverted his suspicion by saying that Abhijeet was attending a patient..

After that his brother himself called him on the same day and masked the whole truth by pretending to be anger with him...which cleared his suspicion...

His brother's anger diverted him to the opposite extent in the following days...which made him think that the pain...especially the helplessness and frustration in his brother's eyes to be because of his decision of transfer and adamant behavior of hiding the truth...

Yes...his brother was obviously hurt from that too...but the reason behind the pain...the helplessness...frustration was solely this drastic truth unfolded...which he was realizing now...

He couldn't even imagine how his brother managed himself in front of him even in all the heated situation happened after that...

Then the truth revelation from his side...then the drastic twist and turns...then the actual revelation that happened...in every moment his brother maintained the composure and hide the truth regarding his health smartly...

Even upon seeing him in dead bed...his brother didn't lose that composure...he maintained it...he afforded to maintain it even when he was accused by Atharv who thrashed him badly and even break the relationship with him...

He was pushed badly into the ocean of guilt by Atharv which broke him badly...but didn't let this truth out...instead he punished himself for that guilt and drowned himself more and more in pain...he broke himself more and more by keeping himself all alone...

He heard from Abhir and ACP that his brother's health was very poor in all those days when he was in coma...he heard from them that his brother lost himself twice on the same day when he got shot...but it didn't stir anyone's suspicion because of Siddharth's lie...

Yes...now he understood that Siddharth was also the part of hiding this dreadful truth from everyone...obviously he must be the one who found about Abhijeet's brain tumor because he was the one treated Abhijeet when he undergone seizure...

He deliberately lied to family regarding the seizures along with Dev...then on the day he got shot...he lied to ACP and Abhir at first...and then to the whole family when Abhijeet turned unconscious twice on the same day by tagging it as a tension induced one...

Daya felt a fire raising in his heart thinking regarding Dev and Siddharth's lie...he knew that Abhijeet might have asked them to be quiet...

But how they could...How they chosen to be silent accepting Abhijeet's words...How they were able to see him dying out of his disease day by day without doing anything...how...

He didn't get anything...he didn't get why they remained silent all these days...more than angry over them...he was angry over fate which also supported his brother in hiding his deteriorating health by giving parallel issues which overshadowed his disease perfectly...

When ACP said that Abhijeet's health was totally a mess until the day he came out of the coma...he couldn't suspect anything as it was overshadowed by the guilt of his brother...and sorrow of seeing him in the coma...

He couldn't think more than the guilt...that was why he talked with him in a attempt to take his brother out of guilt...and he succeed to a extent too...

But failed badly on other side as he didn't realize the reason for his brother getting emotional over his future plans...which he understand now...

He can understand now why his brother hesitated to accept the CEO post...but that time he failed as his brother deliberately lied by saying as he was nervous...

Even when Abhijeet was roaming like a ghost in a highly devastated state after he came out of the coma...he couldn't suspect anything as that phase was overshadowed by the Atharv's cold behavior towards Abhijeet...

He even got the hallucinations that time...He could feel a sharp pain in his heart remembering his brother's pain filled words when he was lying unconscious after getting injured by falling off the stairs in the effect of hallucination...

Now he could get the actual meaning behind that pain filled words...which made his eyes teary and heart more heavier in seconds feeling the pain of his brother...

But at the same time...the disappointment and hurt was also rising thinking how Dev and his brother managed that situation too...

Dev lied deliberately even after seeing his friend on such a state and totally diverted the matter by tagging the anti depressants as the reason as usual...

And his brother...too played well...even though he was unaware of the hallucinations that time...he definitely knew that whatever might happened with him must be because of his deteriorating health...

But instead of informing them...he decided to shift himself to the ground floor so that he could avoid such situations...and any suspicions...

Even after that too Abhijeet remained distressed...frustrated and worried...he avoided being at home...he even burst over Naina...which definitely stir his suspicion a lot...

But his brother crushed his suspicion by saying the stress of handling the CEO post as a reason...when he confronted him regarding everything...

But now he could realize the reason behind his brother's those weird behaviors...he could understand why his brother was distressed to hell...

His brother didn't want the truth came out at any cost...that was why he didn't come home properly and he avoided everyone to the maximum extent especially him...

He might got distressed and frustrated to the hell as it was hard for him to handle the pain and deteriorating health escaping from everyone's eyes...

That distress and frustration he was suppressing for a long time might burst over Naina on that day...but even in that situation his brother not failed to divert him perfectly...

That time too he believed his brother and advised him to live the life which his brother accepted readily and started to be happy too...

He was thinking that his brother has changed understanding his words...but no...he was just pretended to be...he was just faking the happiness just for the sake of him and the family...

Worst of all he was cautiously preparing to leave all of them behind without giving any clue of his condition...and die somewhere else all alone...

But Why...how could his brother do this to him...how could he take such drastic decisions without even thinking about anyone...especially himself...

Why his brother preferred such a drastic extent...Why the hell his brother didn't want anyone aware of his state...why he didn't let the truth come out...why he remained silent all these days bearing all the pain...suffering with his disease all alone...

Why...why and why...he didn't know the answer...he didn't get the reason...only these questions are left with him as the person who want to answer was now literally fighting between life and death...

Dev's words regarding Abhijeet's condition when he was getting seizure was still causing shivering in his heart and body without any gap...while they were hammering his mind like anything...

The fear of losing his brother was rising with every passing minute...he has no patience and courage to remain near the ICCU as the closed door seems to be suffocating and bringing more and more negative thoughts...that was why he came away from that place and standing here...

But still no use...his fear didn't even reduce a bit...it seems to be rising...rising and rising to hell without any halt...while the negative thoughts were spreading all over his body like some disease...

Unable to handle the restlessness...fear and negative thoughts he started to roam here and there in a complete distress while the question cluttering his mind still cluttering his brain and heart...

Abhir felt a sharp stabbing pain in his heart seeing his friend's restless state as he could easily get the emotional turmoil he might going through...

He wanted to go near his friend who was in need of him but he have to comfort Atharv too who was also broken too much...

While Abhir was worrying for his friend ACP who came after completing his conversation in the phone moved towards Daya seeing his restless state...

ACP while masking his anger and tension from what he heard from the phone call with a managed gesture pressed Daya's shoulder with...

ACP (in a soft tone): Daya...himmat rakho beta...Abhijeet ko kuch nahi hoga...

Daya who was in the deep emotional turmoil and fear looked up at ACP with a tear tingling eyes...he while trying to cope up with his emotions exclaimed as...

Daya (in a stammering tone): mere himmat rakh ne ya naa rakh ne se kya farak padh tha sir...Macron ne tho himmat haar hi gaya na...issliye tho ussne yeh sab...itne hatt tak jaane diya...aur ab aise halat mai...

Daya closed his eyes in pain and tears while ACP pressed Daya's shoulder more firmly as if giving support while Daya continued to exclaim as...

Daya (in a helpless tone): patha nahi ussne aise kyu kiya hai sir...kyu itne dino se sab akele sehen raha tha...kyu aise khud ko takleef mai rakha...patha nahi kyu...mujhe kuch samjh nhi aaraha hai sir...samjh nahi aaraha hai ki aakhir wo yeh chupa ne kadam uthaya hi kyu...

ACP looked at Daya in a jerk hearing Daya's words as Satya already told him the reason why Abhijeet was hiding the truth from everyone...

He didn't get whether to say it to Daya or not...he didn't get how to say that Abhijeet hide the truth to reunite Daya with his family in a proper way...

If he reveal the truth it would break Daya more and maybe push him into the guilt who was already immersed in enormous pain thinking of his brother...

But he also felt that it was not good to hide this from Daya that too in such a situation where his brother had hidden lots of things already...

Daya was still unaware of may things including Amar and Kishore's involvement in this conspiracy of pushing Abhijeet towards death...

He also have to tell Daya regarding the important information he got through the phone call...for which he has to say the whole truth...

He felt like it was important to clear all the mist in the air so that Daya and his family could decide the crucial things properly to save Abhijeet...

Thinking all these ACP while trying to holding up his heart was about to exclaim the truth but was forced to stop seeing Dev and Siddharth coming out of the ICCU...

Seeing them both ACP and Daya's heart started to race...they started to rush towards them in a highly distressed manner while gripping their heart...

Bhoomika...Atharv and others too jerked seeing Dev and Siddharth and they all gathered around them and started to shoot questions as...

Atharv (in fear): Abu...Abu...kaisa hai...wo...wo theek hai na...haan...

Bhoomika (in fear): bolo baccho...Abu theek tho hai na...usse kuch nahi hua hai na...

Gayatri (in fear): chup kyu ho bolo na...kaisa hai humare baccha...

Siddharth and Dev exchanged a worried yet tensed eyes hearing their queries...Dev continued to look at Siddharth in tension who while trying to cope up with his emotions exclaimed as...

Siddharth (in a managed tone): wakt paye medicine mil gaya issliye jaan bacch gaya usska...agar thodi der aur hojaatha tho kuch bhi hosaktha tha...aur...

Seeing everyone's facial expression turning more fear filled Dev while gripping his heart interrupted Siddharth with...

Dev (in a stammering tone): magar...wo stable hai abhi...

Siddharth looked at Dev with a disappointed gaze while everyone heave a sigh of relief hearing that...but Daya couldn't...he has totally lost his faith over Dev and Siddharth after seeing their antics all these days...So Unable to believe their words Daya asked out as...

Daya (in a managed tone): tum dono sach bol rahe ho...ya phir...yeh bhi uss bhaishab ka script hai humesha ki tara...

Siddharth and Dev looked at Daya in a jerk hearing that query...they became speechless for a second hearing that...seeing which Daya who assumed something dreadful asked out as...

Daya (in fear): tum dono aise kyu...wo theek hai na...(in extreme fear)...jinda tho hai na wo...ya phir kuch...

Dev (in disbelief): Daya...yeh tum kya...hum iss mai jhooth kyu bolege yaar...tum aise kyu...

Daya (in anger): accha...jhooth nahi bologe tum...pehale yeh baatao ki kab sach baataya tum dono ne...haan...humesha jhooth...har baat paye jhooth bola hai tum dono ne...tho phir mujh se expect bhi kaise kar the ho ki mai tum logo ke baatao paye yakeen karu...bolo...

Dev and Siddharth lowered their gaze hearing that while others except ACP and Freddy who were looking at him in shock and fear asked out as...

Bhoomika (in tension): tum kya bol rahe ho Guddu...inn dono ne kya jhooth bola haan...

Daya (in hurt): Mumma...yeh pucho ki kya jhooth nahi bola hai inn dono ne Macron ke saath mil ke...(in a teary tone)...yeh brain tumor ka sach...Macron 3 mahine se jaan tha hai...aur yeh dono bhi...in fact inn dono ne hi patha kiya hai iss baar jab Macron ko pehali baar seizures hua tha...

Everyone's eyes widened in shock hearing that Atharv and Bhoomika were literally taken aback hearing that shocking revelation...

Daya (in anger): magar inn dono hume yeh sab baatana jaruri nahi samjha...shayad Macron ke baatao mai aake chup hai abhi tak...aur yeh saare baatein hum se chupa ne ke liye usske mil ke haazar jhooth bole hai hum se...uss seizures se leke uss hallucinations tak sab mai jhooth bola hai inn dono ne...

Atharv...Bhoomika and others looked at Dev and Siddharth in a complete shock and disbelief hearing Daya's words while Dev and Siddharth continued to stay in the lowered gaze posture...

Daya (in hurt): seriously...bahot acche dost ho tum dono...kitne acchi se dosti nibha rahe ho...aap ke dost ne keha diya ki mere beemari chupa do aur jab tak mai mar nahi jaata tab tak mere saath mil ke jhooth bol the raho...tho turant maan gaye...aur baith ke aaram se apne dost ke maut ke tamasha dekh rahe hai...aur...

Siddharth (in a loud tone): stop it..Daya just stop it...please...

Daya (in anger): kyu...bura lag gaya...sach chub gaya hai...haan...yeh sab jhooth bol ne se pehale soch na chahiye tha Siddharth...ab baith ke...

Siddharth (in rage): accha...sach sunn na hai tume...haan...tho suno...tere bhai ke halat bahot nasuak hai abhi...usske liye yeh seizure attack jaan lewa tha...wo cope up nahi kar paa raha tha...ek baar tho usske saase rukh hi gaya tha...badi muskhil se jaan bacchaya hai usska...badi muskhil se revive kiya hai usse...

Everyone looked at Siddharth in shock and fear hearing that while Dev tried to interrupt but Siddharth continued to exclaim as...

Siddharth (in rage): lekin abhi bhi khatra taala nahi hai...usske vitals abhi bhi unstable hai...usse kabhi bhi wapas seizures aasaktha hai...aur agar aisa hua na...ek aur baar usse seizures aaya na...tho usse bacchana namumkin hai...wo bikul cope up nahi kar paayega...usse internal hemorrhage hojayega aur...

Dev who couldn't tolerate Siddharth's raw confessions...and Daya and others highly shocked expressions stopped Siddharth with...

Dev (in a stammering tone): bas...Siddharth...bas...yeh kya kar rahe ho tum...kya bole jaa rahe ho...

Siddharth (in rage): sach baata raha hu Dev...yehi tho sunn na chatha hai Daya...hai na Daya...kaisa laga...(stressing)...sach sunn ke...accha hai na...

Daya who was literally taken aback hearing Siddharth's words regarding Abhijeet's condition couldn't react back...he continued to look at Siddharth with a bewildered expression...

Siddharth (in a firm tone): aisa hotha hai Daya sach...aisa hi mehsoos hotha hai jab hum sach bol the hai...issliye shayad hum pura transparency nahi rakh pathe hai...lekin isska yeh matlab nahi hai ki hume apne patient ke parwa nahi hai...hume parwa hai...samjhe...parwa hai...

Daya looked at Siddharth with an unsaid expression hearing his words as his former words were too heavy to digest..in which these couldn't affect him...

In fact everyone were in the same state...their mind got blocked in the phase of hearing Abhijeet's condition itself...they couldn't process anything more than that...

Seeing which Siddharth realized his mistake...he realized what he done out of rage and hurt over Abhijeet...

He just expelled his frustration over Abhijeet's family just by getting triggered by hearing Daya's words...which was actually the fact...the truth...

He while totally drowning in the guilt looked at Dev for second who was looking at him in disappointment and then at Daya and others with...

Siddharth (in guilt): I am sorry Daya...I am sorry everyone...patha nahi mujhe kya hogaya Daya ke baatein sunn ke...gusse mai bina soche samjhe...I am sorry...khud paye itne galati rakh ke mujhe aise...aise baat nahi kar na chahiye tha...

Seeing Siddharth getting into a guilt phase Daya while griping his fear and trying to manage his emotions was about to exclaim while Siddharth continued as...

Siddharth (in a guilty tone): mai maan tha hu ki aap sab se sach chupa ke...sab se jhooth bol ke...hum ne bahot badi galati kiya hai...lekin humara yakeen manniye hum ne bahot khoshsis kiya Abhijeet ko samjhe ne ke...(in a flow)...magar wo manna hi nahi...aur hume bhi blackmail kar ke chup kar raha diya...jisske waja se hum majbooran chup the...aur...

Naina (in a stammering tone): blackmail...kaisa...kaisa blackmail...

Siddharth looked at Dev in tension and helplessness realizing what he said in a flow...being a victim of guilt and hurt...

Dev made a pain filled face as already the air was thick while would get more intense if they revealed the whole truth...

But he knew that it was already too late for these thoughts as everything has already beyond the state of rectification...so while trying to manage his emotions he himself exclaimed as...

Dev (in a stammering tone): ussne kaha tha ki agar hum dono yeh sach aap logo ko baatana ne ke khoshsis kiya...ya phir usse surgery kar ne paye majboor Kiya tho wo bina baataye kahi chala jaayega...aur kahi akele jaake...

Dev stopped abruptly feeling a lump in his throat while Daya and others looked at him in complete shock and disbelief...while Sidharth continued as...

Siddharth (in tension): hum bahot dar gaye the...agar wo sach much kahi chala gaya to hum kya kare...issliye hum bhi dil mai pathar rakh ke chup the yeh soch ke ki at least wo humare aanko ke samne tho hoga...

Atharv (in hurt): lekin kyu...kyu ussne yeh kadam uthaya...hum se itne badi baat chupa ne ke kya jaruraat hai...

Daya (in a stammering tone): wahi tho...Macron aise kiya hi kyu...wo hume yeh baat baatana kyu nahi chaha raha tha...aur surgery bhi nahi kar na chatha hai...kyu...

Dev and Siddharth exchanged a glance hearing their query in helplessness while ACP looked at them in worry understanding their emotional turmoil...so while sighing deeply ACP exclaimed as...

ACP (in a soft tone): baata do Dev...chupao mat kuch bhi...baata do sab kuch...

Bhoomika (in a stammering tone): haan Dev...please at least ab tho kuch mat chupao...baatao do ki aakhir Abu aise kyu kiya...kyu wo sab hum se chupa ke rakha...

Dev (in a stammering tone): aap sab ke liye...Daya ke liye...wo Daya ko aap log ke saath milna chatha tha proper tareeke se...matlab...sach jaan ke sab sahi kar ke ghar mai...parivaar mai leke aana chatha...aur issliye usse laga ki...

Daya (in pain): ussne soch liya ki wo sach baatayega tho mai usske liye majboori mai ghar aajauga...jo wo nahi chatha tha hai na...

Dev (in a low tone): haan...

Daya (in pain): matlab wo yeh sab mere liye chupaya tha...mujhe sahi se ghar mai wapas le ke jaane ke liye chup tha...

Dev looked at Daya for a second in a pain and then nodded in a positive while Daya closed his eyes in extreme pain...

This information was more than enough to break his broken heart more and more...How could be his brother this much stupid...how he could think of such things...how...

Atharv... Bhoomika and Naina too broken hearing that thinking about Abhijeet's level of doing things while Gayatri asked out as...

Gayatri (in pain): lekin Dev...saara sach samne aane ke baad bhi tho Abu chup hi hai na itne dino se...

Bhoomika (in pain): wahi tho...Guddu ke ghar aake bhi 1 mahine ke upar hogaya hai...lekin Abu tho abhi yak chup hi tha na...at least ab tho baata de the hume sab kuch...kyu wo abhi tak...

Dev (in frustration): yehi sawal maine bhi kiya tha Maa...lekin wo kehane laga ki Daya ko aur aap sab ko ek dusre ke sath settle hone mai wakt lagega aur wo bhaishab yeh sab baata ke wo wakt barbad nahi kar na chahta tha...

Daya and others looked at Dev in pain...frustration and helplessness hearing that while Dev continued to exclaim as...

Dev (in frustration): upar se usse surgery bhi nahi kar na tha...in fact usska bikul bhi bharosa nahi tha surgery ke upar...

Daya (in distress): kyu Dev...kyu...

Siddharth (in a managed tone): Daya...wo...actually...wo...kyuki...surgery kar ke bhi Abhijeet bach ne ka chance...(after a pause)...kaafi...kaafi kam hai...

Atharv...Bhoomika and others were taken aback hearing that while Daya who couldn't accept that exclaimed as...

Daya (in fear): kaafi kam hai matlab...kitna...kitna kam...

Dev (in pain): 5 percent se bhi kam hai Daya...aur issliye Abhijeet wo chance le na nahi chatha...usse lag tha hai ki surgery kar ke wakt barbad kar ne se accha hai ki wo uss wakt ko aap log ke saath khushi khushi bitha the...mar ne tak...issliye wo aise...

Daya (in restlessness): nahi...yeh kya pagal pan hai...aise tho nahi hosaktha...aise kaise wo bina khoshsis kiye haar maan saktha hai...aise kaise wo mar...(while trying to cope up with his emotions)...nahi...nahi aisa nahi...usse surgery kar na hi padhega...kar na padhega usse...

Dev (in pain): yehi to hum bhi usse samjha ne ke khoshsis kar rahe hai Daya...magar wo humare ek nahi sun raha hai...hum...dono samjha samjha ke tak chuke the...lekin tabhi Satya sir ko Abhijeet ke tumor ka sach pata chala aur wo...

He narrated from how Satya confronted him for hiding and not doing any treatment till then...to how he made Abhijeet CEO and preparing for the surgery secretly...

Dev (in a managed tone): sir ne tho surgery ke liye sab kuch tayyar kar chuke the...in fact wo kal Abhijeet se surgery ke baare mai baat bhi kar ne wale the...magar uss se pehale yeh Mihir ka conspiracy ka sach...aur Abhijeet ke uss baat ko chupane ke baare mai patha chala...

Daya closed his eyes in frustration while others looked at Dev in shock hearing the confession...Atharv while trying to gasp the truth exclaimed as...

Atharv (in shock): kya...chupaya...matlab Abu uss aadmi ka sach pehale se hi jaan tha hai...

Dev (in hurt): haan Papa...wo sab jaan tha hai...shayad bahot dino se jaan tha hai...lekin ussne uss Mihir ko acche insaan bann ke reha ne ke shart rakh ke chod diya...aur sab apne andar dhaba diya...

Daya (in anger): lekin uss aadmi ne Macron ke saath yeh sab kiya hi kyu...(realising something)...ek minute...usse Macron ke bemari ke baare mai kaise patha chala...aur wo yeh sab akele kiya kaise...matlab Macron saare test iss hospital mai tho nahi kiya hoga...pakka bahar hi kiya hoga...tho yeh aadmi usske saath chedchad kaise kiya tha...

ACP looked at Daya in surprise seeing his detection skills and understanding of his brother even in such a condition while feeling proud internally exclaimed as...

ACP (in a managed tone): haan Daya...tumara shaq sahi hai...yeh sab Mihir ne akele nahi kiya...wo bas teer tha...aur uss teer ko chala ne wala...Amar aur Kishore the...unn dono ne hi Mihir ke Abhijeet ke upar ke nafrat ko istemal kar ke uss se yeh sab karwaya hai...

Daya and others were again taken aback hearing the next shocker...which was enough to break their mental balance rapidly...

This was too done by those demons...they didn't even leave a single chance to destroy their happiness and life...

Daya and Bhoomika felt a void in their heart while others especially Gayatri and Kavya too felt the same for being these demons relation somewhere...

Kavya (in disbelief): Abu ke saath yeh sab bhi Amar ne hi kiya...

ACP (in a low tone): haan...

Bhoomika (in a stammering tone): aur Abu yeh sab bhi jaan tha hai...

Daya (in pain): wo kya nahi jaan tha hoga Mumma...usse sab patha hotha hai...magar wo baatayega nahi...jab beemari ke baare mai hi nahi baataya tho yeh baat kaise baata dega...

ACP (in a low tone): haan...shayad kafi dino se jaan tha hai yeh sab...jiss din Amar aur Kishore expose huye the shayad ussi din se...kyuki Satya ne jo Abhijeet aur Mihir wale CCTV footage dikhaya wo ussi din ka tha...Abhijeet ko ussi din yeh sab patha chala hai Mihir se...uss Mihir ne bataya tha ki...

ACP narrated how Kishore and Mihir forged Abhijeet's report and kept Abhijeet in darkness regarding his health...and then how Abhijeet confronted Mihir and at last forgiven him with the condition to be changed person when he begged him...

He also narrated how Amar sarcastically commented on Abhijeet's condition indirectly when Abhijeet expelled his rage over him in the bureau after seeing Daya in coma...(Referred to chapter 28)...

Daya felt great rage rising in his heart hearing Amar...Kishore and Mihir's deeds...he felt like his heart started to burn in rage...anger...agony...pain and what not...

His brother has suffered a lot...even now he was sufferings...in fact dying...just because of these demons dirty games...their conspiracy...

He couldn't control his overflowing rage...he wanted to smash the demons for their deeds...He finished the story of one demon...but still...other two are there...whom he wanted to punish at any cost for whatever they done with his brother...

While Daya was burning in anger and rage ACP who was also in the same state continued to exclaim as...

ACP (in frustration): uss din mujhe kuch samjh nahi aaya...lekin aaj samjh aaraha hai ki wo aadmi waise kyu keha raha tha...jab usse jail leke gaye the tab bhi wo issliye itne shant tha...upar se ab bhi jail mai baith ke sadish hi kar raha hai...yeh jo news aaya tha Abhijeet aur Mihir ke baare mai...video proof ke saath...usske piche bhi iss Amar ka hi haath hai...ussne hi apne sources ke through yeh sab news mai leak kiya hai...

Everyone looked at ACP in shock and disbelief hearing that while Daya turned more rage filled in seconds hearing that...and started to burn more...

That was enough to completely break Daya's tolerance...fragile control over his anger...which was already at the verge of breakdown...

Daya tightened his fist harder while fire in his heart started to emit in his eyes...unable to handle the anger he stormed out of the place with the fire and rage in his eyes and rage filled determination in his heart and walk...

Everyone turned confused and tensed seeing him going...while ACP who understood where Daya was going seeing his rage filled antics and anger made a distressed face and rushed behind him along with Freddy in a hurry...

After sometimes...

Inside the ICCU...

Abhijeet was lying on the bed with a closed eyes and an oxygen mask on his face with lots of monitoring equipment attached to his body...

His sinuses were highly irregular...his breaths were heavier and painful...indicating how much restless he was even though being unconscious...

Within a few minutes...frown lines started to get intense while he started to tilt his head badly out of restlessness while mumbling something...

Ultimately he opened his eyes in a jerk while sweating badly and breathing heavily and rapidly...He while trying to manage his sinuses started to look here and there in a rapid manner as if trying to gasp the surroundings...

Understanding he was in the hospital...his tension raised...following which what ever happened before get unconscious started to reel in his mind...

That realization regarding the exposure of the truth in front of his brother and family made Abhijeet sat up in a haphazard way as a reflex...

But he couldn't hold himself in the sitting posture as usual because of which he slumped back but he prevented himself from that fall by gripping the edge of the bed tightly for support...

But still he couldn't maintain a proper posture because of his highly deteriorated health and exhausted body...

Even though he was feeling highly weak...feeling severe headache...dizziness and every other symptoms as usual...he couldn't think about them...

His mind was totally occupied by the thoughts of the truth exposed in front of his family and their devastated reaction over it...

He couldn't...in fact doesn't have the courage to accept the fact that now his secret was not a secret anymore...his wildest fear came true...which he didn't want to face at any cost...

Now...he has left with no other option other than facing the truth...facing his family's question...hurt...pain and everything...

Wait...no...he couldn't...he couldn't face this highly difficult situation...he couldn't face his brother and family...he couldn't afford to see them in pain...

Most importantly he couldn't let them suffer along with him as he knew very well that this journey towards his death would be more painful after this...

He knew that his brother and family couldn't be able to see him in pain...they will broke more than him and shatter to the core...

He couldn't let that happened at any cost...he couldn't afford to see his family suffering and getting punished just for being his family...he wanted to do something to avoid that...

He should do something quickly so that he could escape at least this guilt of letting his family suffer along with him...

And the only way to avoid his family getting suffered...and prevent them drowning in the death along with him...he has to go away somewhere far away...from where no one could find him...

Yes...he has to go away as soon as possible...he has to go...this was the only way to avoid the disaster...this was the only way to escape his family from being punished along with him...

Determining these silly things in his mind he removed the oxygen mask...drip needle and other monitoring equipment connected to him in a complete hurry and restlessness...

He felt a high difficulty and rising pain while breathing and removing everything but ignoring them he started his trials to get up from the bed in a hurry...

After struggling a lot he got up from the bed and tried to move forward but couldn't...his total body...especially his legs were trembling badly...

He felt highly frustrated...but he didn't give up...he gripped the edge of the bed tightly and started his trials to stabilize himself in a hurry...

After trying a lot he somehow managed the shivering and trembling his body...he then started to move towards the entrance in a complete restlessness...

His footsteps stopped abruptly seeing his whole family except Daya sitting outside the ICCU with a devastated yet broken face...

Abhijeet tightened his fist harder...Tears started to flow from Abhijeet's eyes in a speed...his heart started to ache badly seeing his family condition...

This was what he didn't want to happen...but it happened...but didn't let this continue to happen...he didn't let his family suffer more than this...

He knew that his decision was not going to bring any happiness to his family...he knew that it was highly harsh...it would hurt his family more...but at least it will reduce the burden and sufferings...

Thinking all these he started to look at his family for some more time in nostalgia and pain...then only he noticed the absence of his brother over there...

While frowning in tension he wandered his eyes in search of his brother to get the sight of him for one last time before he left them forever...but he couldn't find him...

He felt a high pang in his heart thinking that he couldn't see his brother for a last time...but a sarcastic smile erupted in his heart the next second thinking that how his fate could let him in peace...even in death...

He while sighing deeply started to look at his whole family...after capturing his family in his eyes for a solid period of time he took a deep breath to manage his emotions and started to move towards the side door while mumbling a heart felt sorry to his family...

His steps stopped again thinking something...he moved towards the side table and took the extra sheet in the doctor's note and pen...he started to write something on the paper in a hurry while shedding pain filled tears...

He felt a high difficulty in writing because of his highly trembling hands and high emotional turmoil as his own decision was breaking him more and more...

Seeing his inability to even write because of his disease Abhijeet felt highly frustrated...he made a frustrated yet pain filled face...but he didn't want to give up...he has to leave as soon as possible...

So he held his one trembling hand with another and while taking deep breaths continued to write forcefully and somehow complete writing whatever he wanted to write...probably whatever he wanted to say to his family...

He looked at the letter he wrote for a few seconds in complete pain and tears...he then while trying to manage his emotions kept the letter over the bed with the trembling hands...

Then while clearing his eyes harshly he started to move out of the ICCU with much difficulties and shuffling steps through the side door cautiously...

He then somehow left the hospital completely leaving his family who were waiting outside the ICCU unaware of the fact that Abhijeet had eloped leaving them all alone in the darkness...

Here the chapter ends...

What will happen now? What was going to be the outcome of Abhijeet's drastic decision? What was going to be Daya and family's reaction to his decision? Will they be able to stop him from going? Or else he would succeed in going far away from everyone? Or else something will happen with him because of his illness? Where was Daya going in anger? What was going on his mind? Was he going to smash the demons who were responsible for his brother's condition? Will Amar get the right punishment for his deeds?
