Abhijeet: kaisi khabar Daya?...kya baat hain?...sab kuch theek to haina?...tum itne pareshan kyun lag rahe ho?...koi tension hain kya tumhe?...please batao na…..hum milke sab theek kar lenge….(jerking Daya from his arms)…..batao na yaar…..

Daya grabbed Abhijeet by his arms and put his eyes in his with a soft yet firm...

Daya: mere baat dhyan se suno Abhi...aaj main Headquarters gaya tha...un logon ne tumhe bulaya hain...milna chahte hain woh log tumse...baat karna chahte hain...

Abhijeet frowned and grabbed Daya's hand with a tensed...

Abhijeet: baat karna chahte hain?...kyun?...kya poochenge?...kya baat karenge?...

Daya(in firm tone): woh log tumhara statement record karna chahte hain...(Abhijeet was shocked, Daya said after some moments' silence)...regarding this brutal acid attack suffered by you...

Abhijeet immediately released his arm and then stood up with...

Abhijeet: impossible...mujhe nahin dena kisi bhi tarah ki koi bhi statement...(shouted)...suna tumne?...NAHIN dena mujhe statement...samjhe tum?...aur kyun lena chahte hain woh log mere statement?...kya?...karna kya chahte hain woh log mere statement leke?...

Daya(in firm tone): tumhare CID rejoining ke bare mein faisla lena chahte hain...hum chahte hain ki tum phir se CID join karo...isliye Headquarters tumse baat karna chahte hain...aur saath saath woh tumse tumhare statement bhi lena chahte hain...tumhare kidnapping ke bare mein...

Abhijeet(in rage): kya?...chahte kya ho tum log?...kyun mazak banana chahte ho mera?...kyun tamasha dikhana chahte ho duniya ko mera mazak udake?...(joining his palms)...baksh do mujhe Daya...bhagwan ke liye chod do mujhe mere haal pe...aur mazak mat banao mera...mujhe nahin banna tamasha kisi ke liye...mujhe nahin dena koi statement...nahin batana hain kisi ko ki kya kya koya tha unlogo ne mere saath is raat...

Daya(in strong tone): to tumhe saza nahin dilwana hain Surya ko?...nahin dekhna unlogo ko salakhon ke peeche jin logo me tumhare zindagi ko barbaad karne ki koi kasar nahin choda?...

Abhijeet: nahin dilwana...kya unhe saza dilwane se meri dard, meri takleef khatam ho jayega?...(in broken tone)...kya milega mujhe unhe saza dilwake Daya?...kya milega?...kya saza milega unhe?...kuch saal ki jail?...kuch rupaiye zurmana?...jo ki mujhe muyabza ke taud pe milega?...kya isse meri takleef kam ho jayega?...kya mujhe woh sab sapne aana bandh ho jayega jo main har raat dekhta hoon?...nahin Daya...aisa kuch nahin hone wala hain...kuch bhi nahin...to phir main kyun banau sabke saamne khud ka mazak?...

Daya now decided to go forward softly as he had noticed that Abhijeet started to become hyper already...he gently grabbed his arm, pulled him near him and made him sit beside him as both of them was sitting on bed...Abhijeet looked towards him in silence...Daya grabbed his both palms and said in soft tone...

Daya: Abhi...tumhe yaad hain...aaj se bees saal pehle aise hi ek raat mein kya hua tha?...us raat bhi main yunh hi tumhare saath hi tha...mere saath ek aur insan the...yaad haina woh kaun the aur hum log yahan kyun aaye the?...

Abhijeet(in dreamy tone): haan yaad hain...ACP sir aaye the us raat...tum log mujhe manane aaye the...main bohot frustrated tha...aur gusse mein bhi...

Abhijeet threw away the flower vase, which broke into pieces, and shouted in pain...

Abhijeet: chale jaao...chale jaao sab yahan se...nahin aata mujhe kich yaad...nahin penchanta hoon main kisi ko bhi...chod do mujhe apne haal pe...mujhe nahin chahiye kisi ki bhi, koi bhi ehsaan...main jee raha hoon na?...itna sab kuch hone ke baad bhi mara kahan hoon?...(Daya was stunned)...is baat ki baar baar ehsaas mat dilao ki tum logo ke ehsaano pe jee raha hoon...warna majbooran...majbooran mujhe koi aur rasta apnana hoga...

He picked a idol in anger and raised it throw it down but stopped...Daya was about to jump to stop him but stopped... both stopped due to a firm and strong voice which came from threshold...

Voice: ruk kyun gaye...phenk do na use bhi...utha lo pure ghar apne sar pe...hume bhi pata lagne do ki woh kaunsa rasta apnane wale ho tum agar hum tumhare pass aana na chode aur...(stressed)...yeh ehsaas dilate rahe ki tum humare ehsaano ke sahare zinda ho...

Abhijeet put down the thing with an embarrassed yet angry face seeing ACP sir in front of the door...Daya tried to approach to ACP sir but he raised his hand, indicating him to stop and entered the room with a calm...

ACP sir: rakh kyun diye Abhijeet?...tod dete use bhi...ek murat tootne se kya aata jata hain jab char already tod chuke ho?...kis baat pe itna gussa kar rahe ho Abhijeet?...

Abhijeet lowered down his head as he did not have any courage to answer anything as he knew what ACP sir saying was nothing but pure truth...ACP sir came in front of him, grabbed him from his shoulders and said in firm tone...

ACP sir: meri taraf dekho Abhijeet...dekho...

Abhijeet slowly looked up towards him and ACP sir could clearly see two crystal drop of water was sparkling in those pair of brown eyes which was reflecting nothing but...PAIN!...the pearl drops rolled down from Abhijeet's eyes and he immediately looked down...ACP sir slowly pulled up his face and gently wiped away those tears which was now rolling down by his cheeks...Abhijeet closed his eyes while ACP sir said in firm tone...

ACP sir: kya baat hain haan?...kyun nahin jana chahte ho tum Headquarters mein?...(in soft tone)...tumhe wapas CID join nahin karni?...

Abhijeet(in helpless tone): pata nahin...bohot dar lagta hain mujhe...kahin kal phir se yaaddash chali gayi to?...yeh do saalon mein maine ek ek pal jutake jitni yaadein jama ki hain woh bhi kahin mujhse door na ho jaye...(in anger)...aur kya jawab dunga main Headquarters ke saamne...woh log to wahin sawal karenge na ki kya guaranty hain ki aap CID ke kabil hain...aapki dimagi halat ek CID officer ki dimagi halat jaisa hi swasth hain?...(in pain)...aur kya jawab dunga main?...kyun ki in sawalon ki jawab to mujhe bhi nahin maloom...nahin maloom mujhe...

He broke down in tears while Daya came behind him and put his hand over his senior's shoulder which he grabbed tightly immediately...ACP sir now held Abhijeet's palm softly yet firmly and took him near a framed photograph hanging on the wall...in the photo, Abhijeet, clad in police uniform, was starring towards the camera with a firm and strong gaze in his eyes...ACP sir pointed towards the photo and said...

ACP sir: woh dekho...kaun hain woh?...

Abhijeet(in moist tone): woh main hi hoon sir...(after a bit pause)...sorry woh main tha...(in pain mixed taunt)...senior inspector Abhijeet...

ACP sir(in firm tone): magar mere liye tum dono mein koi faraq nahin hain...(Abhijeet looked up with a jerk)...haan Abhijeet...maine tumhe train kiya tha...tumhe shayad yaad nahin hain par tumhare training mere under hua tha...(showing his hands to him)...apni in haathon se Investigation ki ABCD sikhaya hain maine tumhe...(in firm tone)...tumhe shayad na ho Abhijeet...magar mujhe mere kabiliyat pe aur mere diye gaye training pe pura bharosa hain...aur yahan aao...

He grabbed his hand and took him near another large photograph hanging on the wall with a fresh garland on it...it was the photograph of Abhijeet's mother...Abhijeet's eyes again filled with tears seeing the photograph...ACP sir pointed towards her and said in soft tone...

ACP sir: woh dekho...woh...

Abhijeet(cut him softly): meri maa hain...(in painful low tone)...meri pyari maa...

ACP sir: haan...tumhari maa...Avni Srivastav...tumhare papa ke jane ke baad inhone hi tumhe pal poske bada kiya...apne dum pe...inhone hi tumhare naam rakhi thi "Abhijeet"...kyunki woh janti thi ki unka beta zindagi ke har jung mein jeet haasil karne ki kabil hain...unhone hi tumhe police officer banaya tha...

Abhijeet closed his eyes and two drops of tears again rolled down from his eyes...ACP sir called him in a very soft tone...

ACP sir: Abhijeet!...

Abhijeet turned towards him in total silence...ACP sir pressed his palm gently with...

ACP sir: tum apne maa ki aur meri sari ladai ko mitti mein mila dena chahate ho kya?...(taking a glance of Daya)...Daya ki sari mehnat mitti mein mila doge?...

Abhijeet took a deep breath and looked towards ACP sir but now with a strength in his eyes, after taking a glance of Daya and said in strong yet low tone...

Abhijeet: kab jana hain Headquarters mein?...

He was answered by a tight grip around himself along with precipitation of some drops over his head...tear drops!...

Abhijeet was sitting there, on bed with his head lowered, while Daya was sitting beside him, starring towards the open window silently...after a while Daya broke the silence in a low voice as...

Daya: Abhi...tum maaji ki, ACP sir ki aur meri sari mehnat mitti mein milana chahte ho kya?...manzoor hain tumhe humare yeh haar?...

Abhijeet looked towards him, took a deep breath and then said in low tone while lowering his eyes as...

Abhijeet: kab...kab jana hoga Headquarters mein?...statement record karwane liye?...

Daya, in extreme happiness, hugged him tightly and shouted...

Daya: yuppie!...man gaya mera bhai!...

Abhijeet immediately separated and covered his ears with an irritated...

Abhijeet: uuuuhhhh!...pagal ho kya?...itna zor se kaan mein chillata hain koi?...ab bhi kaan baj raha hain!...kya karte ho tum yaar?...

Daya again hugged him tightly with...

Daya: aaj mujhe mat roko yaar...let me celebrate this happy news...aaj main bohot bohot bohot khush hoon...

Abhijeet sighed sadly and then said in low tone...

Abhijeet: abhi bhi celebration ki waqt nahin aaya hain Daya...pehle main Headquarters ke aage apna baayan to de doon...phir karna jo chahe celebration...

Daya tightened his grip around Abhijeet and said in cheerful voice...

Daya: tumhe shayad yeh khushi ka mauka na lage yaar...par mere liye yeh bohot khushi ka mauka hain...tumne aaj pehli baar kisi ke saamne jane se nahin hichkichaya...mere liye isse badi khushi ki baat kya ho sakti hain mere yaar?...

Abhijeet(in hesitating tone while moving away a bit from Daya): par agar main Headquarters ke test pass na kar paya to?...tumhe takleef hogi na?...ACP sir ko bhi sharminda hona padega na sab ke aage?...(in helpless tone)...par main kya karu yaar?...mujhse nahin hota yeh sabke saamne bilkul theek rehne ka natak...bohot takleef hota hain...

Daya separated himself from Abhijeet's grip snd made him sit in front of him while putting his eyes into his brother's eyes with a firm...

Daya: nahin...na hi mujhe takleef hoga na hi sir ko sharmindagi...

Abhijeet just looked towards him and Daya grabbed his palm tightly while giving a nod of assurance with a deep...

Daya: hmmmmmmm...sacchi...

Abhijeet took a deep breath and then whispered in a painful low tone...

Abhijeet: kab jana hoga Headquarters?...

Daya(while looking towards him with a firm gaze): kal...

Abhijeet(with hesitation): tum rahoge na mere saath?...

Daya pulled him near himself with a loving...

Daya: yeh kabhi ho sakta hain kya ki Abhi koi imtihaan dene jaye aur Daya uske saath na ho?...yaad rakhna boss...zindagi mein jahan bhi jaise bhi tumhe meri zaroorat padega na to bas ek baar apni dil se mujhe awaaz de dena...agle hi pal mujhe apne saath paoge tum...

Abhijeet only nodded with teary eyes but still with tensed face...Daya now said in soft tone as he felt that Abhijeet now needed rest as he was sitting since long...

Daya: accha chalo...ab so jaao boss...raat bohot ho gaya hain aur...(in meaningful tone)...kal ek naya din bhi to hain humare liye...(in mind)...ek naya imtihaan ke saath...

Abhijeet silently laid down on bed as nowadays he always tried to avoid any type of arguments with Daya...Daya began to ruffle his hairs softly and Abhijeet closed his eyes slowly, feeling his that ever loving, magical sooth...he felt that his eyelids were betraying him and were coming closer towards each other, bringing a deep sleep...he heard Daya's soft loving whisper just a moment before falling asleep as...

Daya: kuch bhi ho jaye boss...yaad rakhna I AM WITH YOU...

Which was followed by a warm soft kiss on his forehead...he breathed out deeply and surrendered himself in the embrace of the angel of sleep with extreme peace and relaxation as he now knew that he had gained enough strength and power to sit for the exam which was waiting for him, in the very next day...the exam which needed to pass for getting a better future for BOTH of them!...the exam in which he needed to be successful for gaining back his IDENTITY of being SENIOR INSPECTOR ABHIJEET!...

Daya looked down towards Abhijeet and found him in deep sleep with a peaceful expression stuck over his burnt face...he bent over him and slowly caressed his burnt cheek, which he slapped so harshly in this very evening, and whispered softly...

Daya: sorry Abhi!...I am really sorry yaar!...aainda kabhi tum pe haath nahin uthaunga...promise!...

He too laid beside his friend while arranging the blanket properly over Abhijeet's body and closed his eyes...he sighed as his mind travelled back to the incident taken place just before he came to Abhijeet's room...a phone call...from ACP sir...

Daya was taking out Abhijeet's medicines from the packets when his mobile rang...he looked towards the screen and discovered it was none other than ACP sir...he accepted the call and wished him as...

Daya: Hello ACP sir...

ACP sir(in concerned tone): Daya, Abhijeet kaisa hain?...

Hearing the name, the total evening conversation with his brother flashed on his mind...he JUST could not suppress his teasing tone as...

Daya: theek hi hain aapke sahabjade...aaj hi shaam ko mujhe manane ki koshish kar rahe the ki main uske liye apni zindagi...(in stress)...barbaad na karu...woh to bojh haina mujh par...to main kyun...

He could not complete the sentence hearing a heart breaking sigh from opposite side of the line...he was really feeling bad for their father figure, he now just wanted to go near him and hug him but...he just said in soft tone...

Daya: Sir!...

ACP sir bit his lips tightly in order to gain control over his emotions...he was feeling helpless!...after a long period of time, he was again feeling that same pain which he had felt while shooting Nakul, his own blood, with his own hand...he just...just emitted a painful sigh...Daya again said in soft yet PAINFUL tone...

Daya: bura lag raha haina sir?...

ACP sir only nodded as he knew Daya must have felt that nod despite not seeing it...Daya said in lost tone...

Daya: mujhe bhi lag raha hain sir...(in broken tone)...humare Abhijeet ko yeh kya ho gaya hain sir?...woh...woh itna kamzor, itna lachar kab...kab se ban gaya?...kyun kar raha ho aisa?...Kyun?...

ACP sir wiped away his tears and then spoke up, but now in calm and firm tone...

ACP sir: aaj bhi tumne Abhijeet pe haath uthaya haina Daya?...(Daya shocked)...zyada chaukne ki zaroorat nahin hain...maloom hain mujhe ki gusse mein aake aaj phir se thappad mara hain tumne use...haina?...

Daya just lowered his head as now he was feeling ashamed for his act...ACP sir continued in soft tone...

ACP sir: kyun karte ho itna gussa Daya?...Abhijeet thodi na yeh sab jaan bujhke kar raha hain?...samajhte kyun nahin ho tum?...sach kahu to Daya ki tum Abhijeet ki is halat ka najayaz faida utha rahe ho...(Daya looked up with a jerk)...haan Daya...ab tum jo bhi kar rahe ho na, use dekhke sab ko yeh hi lagega ki tum Abhijeet ko bewajah sata rahe ho...tum yeh bhali bhati jante ho ki Abhijeet ab is halat mein nahin hain ki woh akela nahin reh sakta hain, use mental support ki bohot zaroorat hain ab aur tum is baat ka faida uthake us pe charhai kar rahe ho...apna bada bhai bebas haal mein mil gaya hain dekhke tum apni manmani kiye jaa rahe ho baar baar...

Silent tears were rolling down by Daya's cheeks but he was not caring to wipe away them, he just managed to utter...

Daya: to aap hi bataiye sir ki kya karna chahiye mujhe?...main nahin dekh sakta mere Abhi ko aur is halat mein...woh din bhar ghar mein akela rehta hain...pata nahin kya kys face karna padta hain use...aur kuch face na karna bhi pada to bhi akele akele pata nahin kya kya sochta rehta hain?...(in moist tone)...pata hain sir, main jab har shaam ko duty ke baad ghar lautke aata hoon na, woh itna khush hota hain ki...ki poochiye mat...uski khushi dekhke lagta hain ki woh jahannam ki darwaze se jannat mein laut aaya hain...pata hain sir, zindagi mein pehli baar, pehli baar mujhe Abhijeet ki khushi dekhke rona aata hain...(in painful whisper)...kyun ki aur koi na jane, par mujhe to pata haina ki us khushi ke peeche kitna dard chupa hota hain...

ACP sir too closed his eyes tightly like Daya as both DELIBERATELY wanted to feel that pain which Abhijeet was suffering from...since one long month!...Daya again said in pain...

Daya: woh bohot dard mein hain sir...bohot zyada dard mein...aur hum uske liye kuch nahin kar pa rahe hain...ab woh na bohot zyada dara hua, bohot zyada sehma hua rehta hain...pata nahin kya hua hain use?...bohot chup sa ho gaya hain...pura din pata nahin kya kya sochta rehta hain...(in helpless tone)...main kya karu sir mujhe kuch samajh mein nahin aa raha hain...(in eager tone)...sir...kuch kijiye na sir?...sir please sir...kuch kijiye na sir...mujhe mera bhai...mera Abhi lauta dijiye sir...please sir...sir please...(broke down in tears)...please...

ACP sir wiped away his tears and then spoke up but now not as Assistant Commissioner of the Police but as a father, so in soft tone...

ACP sir: pyar se pesh aao uske saath Daya...use yeh kabhi bhi nahin lagna chahiye ki woh is waqt majboor hain isliye hum iski faida uthe rahe hain...yaad haina ki Dr. Anurag ne kya kaha tha?...ekdum usi tarah se pesh aao usse jaisa pehle aate hain...utne hi pyar se, utne hi care se...jaise hum usse zyada gussa nahin dikha sakte, waise hi over protective bartav bhi nahin kar sakte...sab kuch theek hain Daya...ekdum theek...bilkul theek...aur isi baat ki ehsaas dilwana hain hume Abhijeet ko...baar baar uspe haath mat uthana Daya...warna use kahin yeh na lagne lage ki woh sach mein hum sab par bijh hain...isi liye hum uske saath itna bura bartav kar rahe hain...

Daya: theek hain sir...main Abhijeet pe ab kabhi bhi haath nahin uthaunga...promise!...

ACP sir(with a sweet smile): that's like a good boy...

Both father and son wiped away their tears and ACP sir again spoke up, but now in formal tone, as the Assistant Commissioner Of Maharashtra Police...

ACP sir: accha Daya tumhe ek khabar deni thi...

Daya(in firm tone): kya sir?...koi mission aa gaya kya?...

ACP sir: nahin woh baat nahin hain...kal Headquarters ne Abhijeet ko bulaya hain...yeh jo bhi kuch hua hain uske saath uska statement lene aur uski test lene ke liye...

Daya(in astonishment): kaisa tests sir?...

ACP sir(with a sigh): woh log Abhijeet ki mental strength ko test karna chahte hain mainly...saath mein aur bhi kuch tests honge...detail mein to mujhe bhi nahin maloom...kal Abhijeet ko Headquarters jake test dena hoga...phir uski reports ko dekhke head officials decide karenge ki use wapas CID mein lena chahiye ya nahin?...

Daya(in protesting tone): magar yeh to galat haina sir...abhi Abhijeet puri tarah fit nahin hua hain...use ab bhi nervous breakdown hota hain kabhi kabhi...aur panic attack aane ki chances bhi bohot high hain...(firmly)...nahin sir...msin Headquarters walon ko mere Abhi ke saath aisa kuch bhi nahin karne dunga...doctors ne use abhi bhi bohot savdhani se rakhne ke liye kahe hain...uspe kisi bhi tarah ki stress dalne se mana kiye hain un logo ne...aur mujhe acche se maloom hain ki wahan Headquarters mein test aur statement lebe ke naam pe iske saath kya suluk kiya jayega...nahin sir main yeh hone nahin dunga...isse hum in ek mahine mein jitna bhi aage bade hain, woh sab ek jhatke se khatam ho jayega...please sir aap kuch kijiye na...

ACP sir: dekho Daya agar mere haath mein hota na beta to main kabhi bhi Abhijeet ko Headquarters nahin bhejta...magar DIG sahab ne use khud bulaya hain...jana to padega hi na beta...aur main janta hoon Abhijeet ke saath wahan kuch galat nahin hoga...kyun ki tum honge uske saath wahan...aur mujhe maloom hain ki tum apne bhai ke saath kabhi kuch galat hone hi nahin de sakte...aur yeh Abhijeet ki career ka sawal hain...aur kahin na kahin uske PEHCHAAN ka bhi!...to hum koi risk nahin le sakte...tum kal le jana Abhijeet ko Headquarters theek hain?...nau baje bulaya hain DIG sahab ne...

Daya just uttered only "hmmmmmmm" in reply then cut the call after exchanging a formal "good night" with each other, while thinking how to persuade Abhijeet to go to Headquarters the very next day as he knew very clearly that now his brother was not comfortable to meet any higher authority of them after that horrible experience in the hospital...

The sound of a loud hmmmmmmm brought him back from his thoughts and he was shocked, not exactly shocked but actually stunned, to discover that hmmmmmmm had come out from his own voice Itself...he immediately covered his mouth and looked towards Abhijeet and discovered him still in sleep but now a frown was present in his face...

Daya immediately sat up and lit the bedside lamp of his side as he understood that Abhijeet was again having a nightmare about that incident...he gently touched his brother's arm and shook him lightly with a soft call as...

Daya: boss...Abhi...

Abhijeet opened his eyes immediately and then looked up towards him with an irritated...

Abhijeet: ab kya hua?...light jalake kyun baithe ho?...ek to kab se hmmmmmmm hmmmmmmm karke neend khulwa diya aur ab pata nahin...(seeing his buddy's embarrassed face)...ab kuch bologe bhi?...

Daya immediately switched off the lamp and laid beside him with a low...

Daya: good night...

Abhijeet kept staring towards his side, where he knew Daya should be lying, and finally closed his eyes...but now with a BIG smile on his lips and in his heart both...he was REALLY feeling a great strength inside himself to fight against his demons as he could clearly understand about his brother's fear and tension regarding him, clearly reflecting his love for him, pure love...

On the other hand, after some minutes, Daya again turned towards Abhijeet and discovered, in the dim light of the night lamp, that he had again travelled to his dreamland...he sat up slowly and caressed his scarred cheek again as if he wanted to kill that pain which he had given to his brother in the very evening...finally he himself began to feel sleepy so he gently placed a soft kiss on Abhijeet's cheek and laid down beside him with a soft whisper as...

Daya: sorry Abhi!...ainda phir kabhi tumpe haath nahin uthaunga...promise!...

Abhijeet again turned towards him in irritation and said in sleepy tone...

Abhijeet: so jaa na yaar!...kya aadhi raat mein jagke khusur phusur kar raha hain...aaja...

He put his arm around Daya's body to prevent him from getting up and whispered in irritated yet sleepy tone...

Abhijeet: aur ek baar agar meri neend khulwayi na Daya, to sach sach bata raha hoon, tabhi ke tabhi dhakke dekar bed se neeche gira dunga...so jaa so jaa...

Daya smiled broadly and he too put his hand around Abhijeet's body...both the friends were feeling extreme safe and happy, being in each other's arms...they remained in that position until they shifted into a peaceful sound sleep...

Tut tut tut tut...

The loud sound of alarm entered the ears of the sleeping buddies which they, of course, did not like...Abhijeet and Daya, both, moved away their arms from each other's bodies and laid while closing their ears with their hands...

Daya led his hand on the alarm clock and after searching for some moments, turned off the alarm...Abhijeet said in sleepy tone...

Abhijeet: time kya hua hain Daya?...

Daya(in same sleepy tone): paanch baj raha hain...

Abhijeet(in irritated tone): itna jaldi alarm kyun lagwaya?...chalo thodi der aur sote hain...

He again pulled the blanket over his face which Daya immediately pulled down with a strict yet soft...

Daya: nahin...aur ek bhi minute nahin...DIG sir ne hume nau baje Headquarters mein bulaya hain...abhi se taiyar hona start kar do...

Abhijeet's face got pale within a moment and he slowly sat up on the bed...Daya could easily notice that his deep brown eyes had numerous cracks which Abhijeet was trying his best to hide...Daya did feel the need to ask him the reason as he felt that he knew it clearly...he just grabbed Abhijeet's palm and pressed it lightly with a soft...

Daya: main aaj tumhe kuch nahin kahunga Abhijeet...bas sirf itna yaad rakhna ki nafrat kabhi bhi pyar ya dosti ke aage nahin jeet sakta...jeet sirf acchai ki hoti hain...hume bas bina dare apni jagah se aureh rehna chahiye...manzeel ek na ek din khud mil jata hain...

Jo Ho Gaya

So Ho Gaya

Logon Se Tu Darna Nahin...

Abhijeet only looked up towards his younger brother, who was looking towards him with immense trust and belief, and sighed...he was feeling that those powers and strength, which je had collected last night, were again abandoning him...he was again feeling helpless, scared and humiliated...like that next morning he spent with that gang led by Surya immediately after the acid attack...

Daya slightly pressed his shoulder with a soft and caring...

Daya: jaao fresh hoke aao...phir saath mein nashta banwayenge aaj...

Abhijeet just nodded and then moved inside the washroom silently...Daya remained sitting there for some minutes and then moved to his own room for freshening session...he deliberately had spent last night in Abhijeet's room as he already knew, now, that these nights, whose mornings brought a new exams for him, was not a comfortable night for Abhijeet...

Two hours later, it was seen that DUO was having breakfast in the dining table...none of them had their concentration in the food items kept on their plate...they were just starring towards their respective plates and fidgeting with their own forks, knifes and spoons...Daya was in tension about the consequences Abhijeet might have to be felt after that Headquarters section and Abhijeet scared...not only due to the questions that he would have to face during the statement collection session but due to Surya's silence also...Surya had neither rang him nor had sent any messages to him since some days...naturally he was stressed thinking about the brute's next plan against him...

After a while, Daya decided to get up as he could understand that today they would never be able to take any type of food, until at least their return from the Headquarters, he looked towards Abhijeet silently who too was looking towards him in question...he did not say anything but just pulled Abhijeet's plate too with his plate and deposited the food items from it in the refrigerator...he cleaned the kitchen and then both the friends went to their respective rooms to get ready to visit the Headquarters...silently!...

They again met near their quallis and sat inside the car...before igniting the car, Daya just grabbed Abhijeet's palm and said in soft and caring tone...

Daya: bas itna yaad rakhna boss ki aaj chahe jo bhi ho...tumhara Daya kabhi bhi tumhare saath nahin chodega...I Am With You Boss...Forever!...

Saathi Tere Hain Aur Bhi

Duniya Mein Tu

Tanha Nahin...

Abhijeet just smiled and then rested his head on the head rest of the passenger seat and heaved a sigh with a smile appeared on his lips...Daya looked towards him and then drove towards the Headquarters...the rest of the journey was completed in total silent...

They entered the waiting room of the Headquarters building and a fourth class staff informed them that the Headquarters authorities were waiting for them...DUO stopped for a while, looked towards each other's face and then grabbed each other's hand to step forward to enter the conference room to face the higher authority officials, waiting for them to take a difficult test for them...

Saamna Karenge Milke

Chahe Dus Ho

Chahe Hazar...

Kya Kehna...

Daya and Abhijeet entered the conference room in FIRM steps and got just stunned, seeing the person sitting between the officials present there...
