11. Chapter 11
Happy Birthday My dear LUVCIDDUODOSTI ...wish you many many happy returns of the day...here ia your gift dear...
The milkman who was standing outside the door, looked at him and jumped backwards in fear with a panicked...
The milkman: baap re!...kitna darawana shaqal hain!...kaun hain aap?...
Abhijeet immediately closed the door on his face and hid his face in his palms with...
Abhijeet(in teary tone): t...tum?...tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?...tum to packets rakhke chale jate ho na?...ruke kyun aaj?...
The milkman: mujhe to bas Abhijeet sahab ko ek chitthi dena hain...isliye ruk gaya...par mujhe kya pata tha ki is ghar mein ek bhoot bhi rehne laga hain aaj kal...
Abhijeet grabbed the handle of the door tightly and bit his lips to control his tears which did not seem to listen to his objection and rolled down his cheeks rapidly...he said in moist tone...
Abhijeet: t...tum chitthi bhi ba...bahar hi chod do...
The milkman: nahin...nahin...mujhe saaf saaf kaha gaya hain ki yeh chitthi main Abhijeet sahab ke haath mein hi doon...aur kisi ke nahin...
Abhijeet now felt troubled...how would he face the milkman again who was scared of his burnt face?...would not he spread the news of being the first person to see Senior Inspector Abhijeet's burnt face to media?...oh god!...what should he do now?...
After some moments, he opened the door, immediately covered his face with his palms with a moist...
Abhijeet: do...do kaunsa chitthi dena hain...do...
The Milkman: nahin nahin...aap Abhijeet sahab ko bulaiye...main unhi ko dunga...
Abhijeet: ma...main hi Abhijeet hoon...do kya dena hain?...
The milkman(in shock): Abhijeet sahab...aapka yeh halat kisne kiya?...
Abhijeet: kisi ne nahin...tumhe jo dena hain do...
The milkman handed him an envelope and then said...
The Milkman: waise sahab...ek baat batun?...bura mat maniyega...
Abhijeet: kya?...
The milkman: aapka shaqal ek dum darawana ho gaya hain...bilkul bhoot jaisa...aap na kisi ke saamne mat aana...bewajah dar jayega woh aapko dekhke...
Abhijeet only nodded and entered the house after collecting the milk packets and the letter...he put the packets in the kitchen and entered his own room...he closed the door, sat on the floor and opened the letter with a painful sigh...
He opened the letter and shivered from his core seeing the handwriting...he could easily identify it as he had seen it multiple times in the form of those horrible letters which he used to get from different sources in hospital...letters with scared Abhijeet from his core...it was Surya's handwriting!...he put his eyes in the letter which was unstable as his hands was trembling badly...
Pyare Abhijeet babu,
Tumhare munh dikhayi mubarak ho...rasm ek chota sa milkman ke haathon pura hua isliye bura manna...Kya kare?...ab majboori haina?...main to socha tha ki media persons ke haathon se yeh subh kaam pura karunga...par tumhara woh bhai...tumhara pyara Daya...media walon ko tumhare pass aane hi nahin diya...kitna Josh se jawab diya...aur kitna dum se jawab diya...mann bhar gaya bas...(Abhijeet smiled although tears were rolling down his cheeks)...woh tumse aach mein bohot pyar karta hain Abhijeet babu...sach!...mere nafrat ki kasam...
Par kya tum usse utna hi pyar karte ho?...NAHIN...tum Daya se utna pyar nahin karte Abhijeet babu...agar karte to uski zindagi aise barbaad nahin karte...Haan...Haan Abhijeet haan...tum Daya ki zindagi barbaad kar rahe ho...tum us par ek bojh ke siwa aur kuch bhi nahin ho...bojh samajhte ho na?...woh hi jise English mein BURDEN kehte hain...
Agar tum Daya ko sach mein pyar karte ho na to tum uske zindagi ka rukavat na bante...sacchi dosti ka matlab jante ho tum?...sachchi dosti ka matlab hota hain unconditional love, trust and sacrifice...kya Daya ke liye tumhare dil mein woh sab hain?...bolo Abhijeet jawab do...kya sach mein legendary Daya- Abhijeet ki dosti sachchi dosti hain?...NAHIN...tum apne khud ke swarth ke liye Daya ka istemal ksrte ho Abhijeet...pehle bhi kiye ho...aaj bhi kar rahe ho...aur janta hoon aage bhi karoge...
Agar tum Daya ke sach much bhalai chahte ho na Abhijeet...to nikal jaao uski zindagi se...tum jaise kamzor admiyon ki koi jagah nahin hain is duniya mein jo khudki atma raksha bhi na kar sake... waise Daya hain bohot accha...woh tumhe pni zindagi se nahin jane dega aise...to tumhare pass sirf ek hi rasta bacha hain...jante ho kya?...SUICIDE...
Haan Abhijeet suicide...khatam kar do khud ko...is mein do faida hain...Daya Abhijeet naam ke bojh se azaadi mil jayega...aur tumhe bhi apne dard aur takleef ae azaadi mil jayega...bas ek kadam Abhijeet...aur do logo ko azaadi mil jayega...mere baat mano to utho aur jake peelo jo maine tumhe bheja hain...
Jaao Abhijeet jaao...khatam kar do khud ko...ek kadam lo...aur khud azaad hone ke saath saath Daya ko bhi azaad kar do...tumhe koi haq nahin hain Daya ki zindagi ka rukavat banne ka...Jaao Abhijeet jaao...Go...go Abhijeet go...GO AND KILL YOURSELF...JAAO ABHIJEET JAAO...MAR JAAO...
With hate...
Tumhare
Surya...
Abhijeet folded the letter and remained sitting there silently, attaching his head with the bed behind...his eyes were not flooding today...they were dry...only the hardness of determination was present in them...
Yes he did not have the right to be a burden on his brother...but no doubt he was being so...due to him...yes only due to him Daya was not able to get forward in his life...twice...yes TWICE...he had snatched his love from his brother twice...at first Purbi then Shreya...
Two drops of tears rolled down from his eyes as he remembered some loving words spoken by his brother for him...
Dost nahi hoon, bhai hoon main tumhara...
Aur kisi ko na ho par mujhe Abhijeet pe pura bharosa hain...
Chalo aaj hum ek dusre se waada karte hain ki aage chahe jo bhi ho uska asar hum humare dosti par nahin padne denge...
Main tumhe marne nahin dunga Abhijeet...
Soothing words...loving touch...warm hug...unconditional support...unending love...what had not he got from his brother?...but what had he given him?...NOTHING...instead of giving, he had snatched his love from him...not once but twice...
He hid his face between his two knees and wept silently...the bottle which Surya had sent him was lying beside his hand...he was feeling helpless...his heart was not allowing him to go away from Daya, his brother but his brain was insisting him to run away from his brother's life...allowing him to live his life...but...
His helplessness was reminding him that morning when he had opened his eyes in Surya's imprisonment...the morning which arose after that horrible night...horrible night when those brutes had attacked his body, had attacked his mind, had attacked HIM...
Abhijeet opened his eyes as fresh sunlight fell on his eyes...he regained total consciousness after a while and tried to sit straight with straight face but next moment compelled to lower his face again feeling a sharp pain in all-over his face...a sharp scream came out from his mouth with panting as...
Abhijeet: aaaaahhhhh...Daya!...
He felt that a bandage was tied tightly around his face...but the burning sensation and extreme pain in his face was driving him mad...he jerked his body badly while grounding his teeth to tolerate that pain...
He tried to free himself as he wanted to touch his wounds as he himself wanted to see the damage done to him by them...but alas!...his all efforts went in vain as he still was tied to that chair with thick ropes...
Being unsuccessful repeatedly, anger filled his mind but pain and helplessness were more than it...he shouted in anger? or pain?...or FEAR?...
Abhijeet: stupid bu*****...himmat ho to haath khol do mera...phir dikhata hoon kayar kaun hain...kholo mera haath...
Two men who was standing outside the door acting as his guards were laughing at this...one said to the other...
First goon: dekh dekh aaj kitna hoshiyar ban raha hain...kal raat to ek dum dara hua chuha ban gaya tha...aaj dekh shan patti dikha raha hain kitna...
Second good: phad phadane de...jo karna tha hum to kar hi chuke hain...s***...bada aaya tha boss ko arrest karne...aisa tod diya na boss ne use...ki phir kabhi khada nahin ho payega...
First goon: boss ko to accha bolna hoga...use first aid bhi diya...pani se munh dhulake...dawai laga diya...doctor bulake ilaj bhi karwaya...
Second goon: phir doctor ko bhi upar...
Both burst out in loud laugh as they could hear Abhijeet's painful yet angry scream from inside...they were enjoying those screams as if anything very funny was happening inside...
Meanwhile Abhijeet tore open one his one hand and opened the another...he freed his feet quickly and rushed towards the door in full rage...he pushed open the door and rushed out from the small room where he had experienced the worst incident of his life...
Next moment he got spattered on the floor getting a sharp blow on his leg...even without noticing the wound, he could understand that it was a deep wound and was bleeding profusely...he looked up and shivered next moment seeing Surya kneeling in front of him...
He move backwards a bit seeing the demon's face once again as he was again feeling that some arms were grabbing him and Surya was pouring that burning liquid on his face repeatedly...
Surya touched his jaw and lifted his face a bit, he tightened his grip on Abhijeet's cheeks and pressed it so tightly that he screamed in pain...
Abhijeet: aaaaahhhhh...
Surya(with smirk): ahha!...dard!yeh hi to dekhna chahta tha main tumhare aankhon mein Abhijeet...dard aur DAR!...aur is waqt tumhare aankhon mein woh dono hi majood hain...Aur yeh hi meri jeet hain...
He took out an injection syringe from his pocket and next moment stabbed it in Abhijeet's shoulder...he felt that his head had become heavy and his eyes too wanted to shut...he was fell down near Surya's feet and he laughed with...
Surya: kya baat hain Abhijeet babu?...itne mein hi haar manke mera joota chatna chahte ho?...bhai maine to suna tha ki CID officers kutte ki dum ki tarah hote hain...haar mante hi nahin...aur tum itne mein hi ghutne tek diye...
Abhijeet could hear each and every word spoken by Surya but he had no power left to protest against it due to that injection...Surya ordered to the goons...
Surya: aye tumlog khade khade munh kya dekh rahe ho?...utha lo ise aur bandh do us chair se...aur haan is bar agar yeh use khol diya na to tum log nahin jante main kya kar sakta hoon...
Two men held Abhijeet's arms and dragged him towards that chair again...Abhijeet's body was getting injured due to it's friction with the floor but he could not protest...the men picked him up, made him sit in the chair again and again tied him with it but this time more tightly...
Surya entered the room after a while and knelt in front of him...Abhijeet could feel his presence around him and shivered in fear...but Surya did nothing...he only untied the bandage around Abhijeet's face and began to wash the wound with ice water...
Ice water...water...liquid...Abhijeet's body got a huge jerk feeling it and he began to try to free himself...but two men grabbed him tightly and Surya continued to do his work...a soft yet painful whisper came out from Abhijeet's mouth as...
Abhijeet: na...nahin chod do mujhe...please chod do...bhagwan ke liye kuch mat karo...da...dard ho raha hain...bohot dard...please chod do...please?...
Surya only smiled cruelly and continued what he was doing...he, with care, washed Abhijeet's wounds with ice water and applied ointments on them...then he gently bandaged his face again with a new set of bandage...
Darkness appeared in front of Abhijeet's eyes...and he did not remember anything after it...
After so many days after it Abhijeet was feeling that same pain...that same helplessness...Again.
Daya woke up and discovered Abhijeet standing near the window, staring outside...his red eyes were giving the witness of his lack of sleep...nowadays Abhijeet's sleeping hours had reduced much, he knew...though uninformed, Daya could easily understand that nightmares of that night always disturbed Abhijeet since they had rescued him and he could guess that the criminal was still disturbing Abhijeet...
He jerked away his thoughts, went to his brother and said in soft tone...
Daya:, good morning Abhi...
Abhijeet looked towards him silently and then said in silent low tone...
Abhijeet: good morning yaar...
He smiled at him...Daya could easily understand that the smile was fake but he did not say anything except...
Daya: chalo fresh ho jaao...main nashta lagata hoon...
He was about to turn when Abhijeet stopped him with...
Abhijeet: ACP sir ka phone aaya tha Daya...tumhe bureau bulaya hain unhone...emergency hain...
Daya(in shock): arey aise kaise bula kiya unhone?...main to chutti pe hoon...
Abhijeet: haan...woh...woh kuch confidential kaam hain to jana padega...
Daya: arey aise kaise tumhe ghar mein akela chodke chala jaun?...tum kaise ghar mein akela rahoge?...kahin woh media wale aake phir se pareshan karne lage to?...nahin nahin...main nahin jaunga bureau...
Abhijeet: Daya...main khud ka dhyan rakh sakta hoon...waisee bhi ab meri zindagi ab aise hi kategi...to tum kyun bekaar mein apni life barbaad kar rahe ho?...(Daya tried to say something)...jaao Daya...main theek hoon...
Daya: accha main ek baar ACP sir se baat kar leta hoon...mobile kahan hain mera?...
Abhijeet(in hurt): kyun?...tumhe mujh par bharosa nahin hain?...tumhe lagta hain main jhooth bol raha hoon?...
His own question brought tears in his eyes...Daya noticed it and immediately wiped it with...
Daya: nahin boss...aisa kuch bhi nahin hain yaar...main to bas jaldi lautne ki permission mangne ke liye hi call kar raha tha...mujhe tum par khud se bhi zyada bharosa hain...
Abhijeet: jaldi lautne ki zaroorat nahin hain yaar...I will manage...
Daya(in firm tone): nahin Abhi...main tumhe zyada der ke liye akela nahin chod sakta...aur yeh mera final decision hain...mera mobile leke aata hoon...ruko...
Abhijeet now felt troubled...how could he kill himself if Daya did not go out?...and his lie would get caught if Daya rang ACP sir...he could say...
Abhijeet: nahin Daya tum nashta banao...main mobile la deta hoon...
Daya nodded and went towards kitchen and Abhijeet went towards Daya's room while thinking how to stop Daya from ringing ACP sir...
Daya was thinking something while cutting vegetables in kitchen when he heard Abhijeet's voice as...
Abhijeet: yeh lo tumhara mobile Daya...
Daya smiled and went towards him to take the mobile...Abhijeet forwarded his hand to give the mobile and Daya forwarded his hand to take it...but instead of giving the mobile to Daya, Abhijeet deliberately dropped the mobile in the saucepan full of water which was on the gas oven between them and Daya had kept it there to boil something...
Daya looked at the mobile with wide eyes and said...
Daya: my god!...mera mobile...
He immediately tried to put his hand in the water but Abhijeet caught it immediately with...
Abhijeet(in anxious tone): Daya boiled water hain...kya kar rahe ho?...
He immediately turned off the oven and picked up the mobile from the water with a spatula...he forwarded it towards Daya who took it, checked it and said...
Daya: yeh to gaya kaam se...
Abhijeet took a breath of relief and said in guilty tone...
Abhijeet: I am sorry Daya...main jan bujhke nahin kiya aisa kuch...fisal gaya haath se achanak...please maaf kar do mujhe...
Daya(with smile): arey kya boss tum bhi...accident hain yaar...ho gaya galti se...maafi mangne jaise kuch bhi nahin hain...just relax...kuch nahin hua haan...
Abhijeet: tumhara mobile kharab kar diya na maine?...
Daya: kya Abhi...ek gaya to kya hua?...kharid lunga dusra...problem kya hain?...payment tum karna...(with naughty smile)...humesha ki tarah...
Abhijeet smiled to hear the naughty tone...he really did not want to go away leaving Daya but he must...remembering this, the smile vanished...Daya asked...
Daya: lo...ab tumhare phone do...main baat kar lu...ACP sir se...
Abhijeet again felt troubled but managed it well with...
Abhijeet: actually Daya...mere mobile ka battery down ho gaya hain...charge dena bhool gaya tha kal raat...to...
Daya(with sigh): lagta hain bureau jana hi padega...par main jaldi wapas aa jaunga...chinta mat karo...
Abhijeet nodded and left towards his own room...he closed the door and sat in front of it, supporting his back on it...finally the drop of tear came out from his eyes which he was stopping since long...he began to weep slowly...
Daya left the house after talking breakfast and Abhijeet bade him goodbye after a tight hug...he then closed the door and went to his room...he sat on the bed and took out the bottle which Surya had sent him...he opened it and looked at it's contents...some pills were there in it...he starred at them with teary eyes...some lines were flashing in his mind...
Mujhe is musibat se sirf tum nikal sakte ho Abhijeet...sirf tum...
Abhijeet kabhi jhooth nahin bolta sir...mujhe apne dost pe pura bharosa hain....
Ab thodi der aram kar lena...baad mein karna jo karna hain...
Lines...no not lines only...each and every word spoken by his brother was coming in his mind repeatedly...they were never mere lines or words for him...they were like medicines which had the power to destroy each and every wound of him, may physical may mental...each and every pain...they were like the touch of the first water drop on which fell in mouth of such a person who was thirsty since long...
Whenever he was blamed, he had never left him alone...
Whenever he was injured, he had suffered more pain...
Whenever someone tried to harm him, he was the first one to resist it...
Whenever he was alone, he was the first one to hold his hand...
Whenever he was sad, he was the first to share his grief and made him smile...
DAYA...
Abhijeet was about to throw away the pills when he remembered...
Tum Daya ki zindagi barbaad kar rahe ho...
Tum Daya par BOJH ho...
Tum Daya ke khushiyon ki rukavat ho...
Abhijeet stopped, looked at those pills and whispered...
Abhijeet: nahin yeh hi sahi hain...main chala jaunga to Daya azaad ho jayega...Daya mujhe maaf karna yaar...lekin aaj jo bhi hia uske baad main nahin jee sakta...SORRY...
He poured a glass of water in his mouth and took out the pills...he, at once, put all the pills in his mouth and closed his eyes...
