4. Chapter 4

Daya jumped up in fear with a panicked scream as...

Daya: Abhi...Abhijeet...boss kahan ho tum?...Abhi kahan gaye yaar?...

He wiped away his sweats and got frightened more remembering the nightmare he had had before some moments...he had dreamt about the worst which could happen with Abhijeet now,in this phase...

Abhijeet was sitting on the bed of his room with teary red eyes...he was holding a knife in his right hand...he himself was standing outside the open window of the room...

His feet had stuck with the floor and he was unable to move forward...Abhijeet was looking towards him with teary guilty eyes and forwarded his left hand...

He placed the knife on his left wrist and after whispering a soft 'sorry Daya' cut his vein with one blow...fresh blood flowed out from the wound and he shouted in fear...

Daya: ABHIIIIIIIII...NAHINNNNNNNNNN...

Daya shivered badly remembering the scene he had saw in his nightmare...those teary red eyes,which he had often seen in reality after they had rescued Abhijeet from that abandoned factory,was driving him mad...

He was hell scared so he rushed to Apurv's cabin as he knew that his friend was in night shift duty tonight...Apurv was checking a file attentively...he looked up with a jerk as soon as Daya rushed inside...he said in a surprised voice...

Apurv: arey Daya tum yahan?...tumhe to Abhijeet ke saath hona chahiye tha na?...(in tension)...Abhijeet theek to haina Daya?...

Daya(panting): Apurv...Apurv woh Abhijeet...yaar woh Abhijeet...room mein nahin hain...

Apurv(while standing up): kyaaaa?...room mein nahin hain matlab?...kahan gaya woh?...woh bhi is halat mein?...

Daya: pata nahin yaar...Abhi so gaya tha...main bhi pass hi so raha tha...phir main aadhi raat ko achanak utha to dekha Abhi bed pe nahin tha...

Apurv: to dekho na Daya ki woh kahin washroom wagera gaya hain...ya phir...

Daya(cut him with anger): Apurv tumhe kya lagta hain ki main washroom wagera bina check kiye hi tumhare pass aaya hoon?...agar tumhe nahin aana hain to mat aao...mujhe kisike bhi zaroorat nahin hain...main akele hi apne bhai ko dhoond nikalunga...

Apurv(with a smile): ho gaya tumhara?...ab chale Abhijeet ko dhundne?...philhaal main gate ke taraf chalke dekhte hain...wahan puch tach bhi karenge...

Daya nodded and could not manage to hide his smile but next moment the smile vanished remembering the Abhijeet's suicide scene he saw in the nightmare...he followed Apurv towards the main gate with a heavy heart...

Reaching near the main gate of the hospital,they discovered with surprise that tge watchman was having a sound sleep while being in sitting position...they stood their with wide open mouth...Daya rushed towards him,shook him vigourously with a loud shout...

Daya: R*****...duty pe so raha hain?...uth s***...pata hain tujhe ki tere laparwahi ke wajah se kya ho gya hain?...kitna bada nuksan ho gaya hain?...

The watchman sat up with a jerk and seeing Daya's angry red eyes in front of him,gulped in fear with...

Watchman: pata nahin sahab kaise aankh lag gaya tha?...maaf kar dena...

Daya(shouted): maaf kar dun...pata bhi hain tujhe ki tere wajah se mera kitna bada nuksaan ho gaya hain?...mera bhai sirf tere wajah se mujhe chodke chala gaya hain...sirf tere wajah se...aur tu keh raha ki tujhe maaf kar doon?...

He grabbed his collars and jerked him vigourously witha loud...

Daya: bol kahan hain mere bhai?...bol main kahan dhoondu use main ab?...bol...bol kya karu main ab?...bol main kahan jaun ab?...arey woh mere zindagi ka ek lauta rishta tha...ab bol kahan dhoodu main use?...

The watchman(with choked voice): sahab...hume maaf kar...dijiye...aainda...aisi galti nahin hoga...

Daya(shouted in pain): tere maafi mangne se mere bhai wapas aa jayega?...pata hain ek wardboy ne kaha tha woh is taraf hi aaya tha...phir...pata tha na tujhe ki main gate ki CCTV camera kharab hain?...phir bhi tu ne aise gairzimmedar wala harkat kiya?...ab main kahan dhoodu apne bhai ko?...ek tu aur ek tera hospital ke woh wardboy...dono hi ek hi type ka...sone ka pyasa...woh bhi Abhi ko jate dekha par woh laita hua tha isliye uthne ka takleef bardash nahin kar paya...

He left him and whispered in a painful tone while backing away...

Daya: tum sab laparwah aur gairzimmedar ho...ab main kahan dhoondu apne Abhi ko?...pata hain woh kitna takleef mein hain?...pata nahin ab kahan kis haal mein hoga mere bhai?...(in fear)...kahin...kahin woh gang use phir se uthake to nahin le gaya?...ab main kya karu?...(in teary tone)...kya karu main ab?...kahan jaun main?...kahan se le aaun Abhijeet ko?...

Apurv softly hugged Daya with a soft consoling...

Apurv: nahin Daya...aisa nahin karte mere yaar...Abhijeet mil jayega yaar...mil jayega woh...usne to tumhe ek din waada kiya tha na ki woh tumhe chodke kabhi nahin jayega...(Daya nodded)...to woh kabhi apna waada kabhi nahin todega...chalo utho...use dhoondna haina?...chalo...

Daya stood up with trembling steps by holding Apurv's arm...Apurv said in soft yet firm tone...

Apurv: ek baat bataun Daya?...(Daya looked up with question)...mana ki us hadse ke baat Abhijeet ab senior inspector Abhijeet nahin raha par woh ab bhi tumhara Abhi zaroor hain yaar...tum...sirf tum hi us zakhmee dil ko theek kar sakte ho...uspe marham laga sakte ho...be brave...

Daya nodded and stepped towards the hospital building with a heavy heart when suddenly a shadow attracted his gaze near the parking slot...he immediately went to him with rapid steps and what he saw made him spell bound...

Abhijeet was sitting there hiding his head in between his knees...he was not moving...even not sobbing too...his hand was around his knees...he was sitting like a stone statue...

Daya could not suppess his happy smile but he was feeling terribly angry too...he went to him and said in angry tone...

Daya: yeh kaisi pagalon jaisi harkat hain Abhijeet?...maloom hain ki hum kitna pareshan ho gaye the?...tum karna kya chahte ho?...

Abhijeet did not say anything or more accurately he did not move even...Daya now could not control his concerned tone...he said in pure love and concern...

Daya: kya baat hain boss?...tum yahan kyun baithe ho?...batao na yaar...achcha dekho main tumhe nahin daantunga yaar...batao na...koi sapna dekha?...

But no response came from Abhijeet...he remained sitting there like a statue...now Daya touched him lightly with...

Daya: boss...kya hua?

But with his horror,Abhijeet fell aside...Daya,though being shocked,grabbed him tightly...he shook him badly with a scared...

Daya: boss...kya hua yaar?...Abhi please...please Abhi aankhe kholo...please boss...

He could see dry tears were present on his cheeks...and his eyes were swollen as if he had cried for long...Daya turned to Apurv with a panicked...

Daya: Apurv dekh na yaar...kya hua ise?...yeh kuch bol kyun nahin raha hain?...dekh na mere Abhi ko kya ho gaya hain?...

Apurv: kuch nahin hua hain yaar...woh behosh ho gaya hain...philhaal tum ise cabin mein le chalo...exactly kya hua hain woh to check up ke baad hi pata chalega...

Daya nodded,picked up Abhijeet in his arms and walked away towards the ICU cabin alloted for him...Apurv was about to follow him when something attracted his gaze...he bent and picked it up...realising what it was,his face reddened in anger...after keeping it in his pocket,he too followed Daya...

Apurv came out from the ICU cabin after the primary check up of Abhijeet...Daya was pacing up and down outside the cabin in tension...seeing Apurv coming out from the cabin,he rushed to him with a tensed...

Daya: woh kaisa hain Apurv?...waise achanak behosh kyun ho gaya hain yaar?...bata na yaar...kaisa hain Abhijeet?...use kuch hua to nahin yaar?...yaar tu chup kyun hain?...bata na Apurv?...kaisa hain mera bhai?...theek to haina woh?...

Apurv(in calm yet silent tone): woh theek hain Daya...(Daya heaved a breathe of relax)...stress aur low blood pressure ke wajah se behosh ho gaya hain...weakness bhi hain bohot...

Daya: aur kuch?...tu kuch chupa to nahin raha haina?

Apurv remained silent for a while...Daya's doubt now got confirmed...now he said in a firm tone...

Daya: kya chupa raha rahe ho tum Apurv?...Abhi theek to haina?...kya hua hain use?...koi khatra to nahin haina?...Apurv tum mujhe sach sach batana kya hua hain?...sach ek dum sach...

Apurv silently took out the thing,which he had picked up from there,and forwarded it towards Daya with...

Apurv: yeh dekho Daya...khud hi samajh jaoge...

Daya,with a surprised look,took it and looked towards it...it was a piece of paper...he read it and his eyes reddened in anger in the very next moment...it was written...

AGAR EK KADAM BHI HOSPITAL KE BAHAR RAKHA NA,TO PHIR SE UTHA LE JAUNGA...PHIR KYA HOGA TUM ACHCHI TARAH JANTE HO...KHEL!...YAAD HAINA TUMHE WOH KHEL?...WOH HI...

Daya crimpled the paper in anger and hatred with a hateful...

Daya: b*******!...tujhe chodunga nahin main...tu ne mere Abhi ko tadpaya haina?...main tujhe bilkul usi tarah tadpaunga...r*****...

He threw the paper in the wastebin and turned to go to Abhijeet's cabin when Apurv said...

Apurv: bohot roya hain usne Daya...mind bhi aur stressed ho gaya hain...heartbeat bhi lagatar high raha hain...use sakoon ki bohot zaroorat hain Daya jo ki sirf tum de rakte ho...

Daya: sirf main?...

Apurv(in calm yet firm tone): haan sirf tum...woh tumhare saath hi sabse zyada comfortable hain...kyun ki tum hi uske sabse kareebi ho...to woh tum hi ho jo use sabse zyada sakoon de sakte ho...

Daya silently nodded and turned to go to Abhijeet's room but next moment stopped and asked...

Daya: Abhijeet ko hosh kab tak aayega?...

Apurv: hosh to use tab hi aa gaya tha jab main uska check up kar raha tha...par weakness ke wajah se aankh nahin khol paya...maine use sedatives de diya hain...ab to weh subah hi uthega...tum jaao so jaao...

Daya: nahin yaar...aaj raat aur neend nahin aayega...aur phir mujhe dar lag raha hain ki...(in guilty tone)...agar main na sota to woh shayad mujhe mujhe chodke jaa bhi na pata...(in moist tone)...agar woh mujhe chodke chala jaata na yaar to main kabhi apne aapko maaf nahin kar pata...

Apurv gave a warm friendly pat on his shoulder with a firm...

Apurv: tum usse yeh poochna mat bhoolna ki woh jaa kyun raha tha tumhe chodke?...aur...

Daya: nahin yaar...main yeh nahin kar sakta...Abhi ko bohot takleef hoga yaar jab main use yeh nahin pooch sakta yaar...woh bohot dard mein hain yaar...main use aur dard nahin de sakta yaar...

Apurv: tumhe yeh karna hi hoga yaar...Abhijeet ko yeh ehsas dilana bohot zaroori hain ki yeh sab hone ki bawajood bhi koi use utna hi pyar karta hain jitna pehle kiya karta tha...aur use yeh bhi pata hain ki uska bhai Daya ko yeh kabhi manzoor nahin hoga ki uska Abhijeet use chodke kabhi chala jaaye...agar jata bg hain to woh zaroor usse naraz hoge,sawal karega aur zaroorat pada to...(in naughty tone)...haath bhi uthayega us par...

Daya did not smile despite hearing the naughty tone but said in anxious tone...

Daya: tum kehna kya chahte ho Apurv?...saaf saaf bolo...

Apurv: main yeh kehna chahta hun Daya ki usse ek dum normally behave karo...jaisa tum pehle kiya karte the...ho sakta hain woh normally react na kare par tum karoge...dekho Daya uske saath jo bhi hua woh sabko pata hain...isliye woh bhi duniya se thoda sharmaya hua hain...par woh ab bhi khudko tumhara Abhi hi samajhta hain...woh bhi yeh hi chahta hain ki yeh sab hone ke baad bhi sab usse utna hi pyar kare,usse utna hi respect kare aur izzat de...to woh bhi kahin na kahin yeh hi chahega...

Abhijeet opened his eyes as fresh sunlight fell on his eyes...he felt a bit fresh today as he had enjoyed deep nightmareless sleep last night due to heavy dose of sedatives...he turned away his eyes from the window and discovered Daya sitting beside the bed with a hard angry face...

Both pairs of eyes met each other but Abhijeet averted his eyes seeing the extreme anger and pain in his buddy's red eyes...he could see tinges of tears present in his eyes...Abhijeet felt the need to go to washroom as his wounds were paining...so he tried to sit up with the desire that Daya would support him as his leg wound was quite deep...

But he was surprised or more accurately shocked to see Daya did not come to support him...so he again looked towards Daya but averted his gaze again seeing he was looking at him with a sharp gaze...seeing him looking at him,Daya said...

Daya: jab mujhe chodke jaa rahe the tab to khud hi kadam badhaye the!...ab kyun mere madad ke umeed kar rahe ho?...

Abhijeet did not say anything but got down from the bed but due to a sudden pain in his leg wound,he was about to fall...Daya immediately grabbed him a tensed...

Daya: bohot dard ho raha hain Abhi?...yaar khud kyun uthe tum?...thoda naraz tha to kya madad nahin karta main?...

Abhijeet did not say anything but hugged him tightly with teary eyes...Daya too hugged him back...both of them were silent but still speaking and hearing each words of each other...

All of a sudden,a voice came from the threshold as...

Voice: wah!...kya dosti hain aaplogo ke!...

Duo separated and looked at the source of the voice and startled...Daya said...

Daya: aap?...aap yahan kya kar rahe hain?
