5. Chapter 5
Daya immediately pulled Abhijeet in tight hug as he could see painful tears were rolling down by his cheeks...he patted his back and said...
Daya: kuch nahin hua hain Abhi...kuch nahin...main hoon na tumhare saath...woh kuch nahin karega...
Abhijeet(in scared tone): tum yahin rehna yaar...mere saath...kahin mat jana haan?...(in low tone)...yahin raho...
Daya(in soothing tone): haan Abhi...main kahin nahin janewala hoon...tumhe washroom jana haina?...chalo main le chalta hoon...
They gently turned towards the washroom...DCP Chitrolle i.e. The visitor said in teasing tone from behind...
DCP Chitrolle: jaao jaao washroom mein hi jaao...duniya ke saamne to munh dijhane ke layak rahe nahin hain tumhara ladla bhai...wahan hi munh chupake rehne do...waise bhi rone dhone ke alawa to ab kuch kar nahin sakte tumlog...
Daya's grip tightened on Abhijeet due to anger but he did not say anything...he just only led his buddy into the washroom and then came face to face with DCP Chitrolle...he said in hissy tone...
Daya: agar aap ne phir se mere bhai ko chot pahuchane ke koshish kiya na to mujhse bura koi nahin hoga...samjhe aap?...
DCP Chitrolle(with a smirk): achcha!...kya karoge tum?...
Daya(in firm tone): Abhijeet ko chot pahuchane wale ke saath Daya kya kar sakta hain yeh aap achchi tarah se jante hain sir...yaad haina aapko ki maine Abhijeet ke gunehgaaro ke saath kya kya kiya hain?...
Some lines appeared in both's memorylane as they were starring towards each other with fiery eyes...
Agar Abhijeet ko kuch hua na to tere zindagi ko main ek bhayanak sapna bana dunga...
Abhijeet ka kamkaal banayega tu?...
Yeh kya kiya tumlogo ne haan?...
DCP Chitrolle managed his fear with gulp and then said in firm tone...
DCP Chitrolle: ab Abhijeet pehle jaisa nahin raha hain Daya...yeh mat bhoolo...uske saath jo bhi hua hain uske baad uska normal hona impossible hain...(with a teasing laugh)...Abhijeet ab kabhi wapas nahin aayega Daya...you have lost your buddy...
Daya(in calm yet firm tone): ek saal...mujhe ek saal ka waqt dijiye DCP Chitrolle...main aaj aapko challenge karta hoon ki main mere bhai ko ek saal ke beech phirse senior inspector Abhijeet bana dunga...main use zaroor wapas launga...yeh mera waada hain...aur CHALLENGE bhi...
DCP Chitrolle: dekhenge Daya...aur ek baat yaad rakhna...agar tum yeh challenge haar gaye na...to main tum dono ko hi CID se nikal dunga...sorry sorry dono ko nahin...tumhe...kyun ki Abhijeet to ab kabhi CID join nahin karnewala...haina?...
Daya(in chewing tone): Abhijeet ek din phir se Mumbai CID ka senior inspector Abhijeet banega...dekh lijiyega...aur kisi ko na ho,mujhe apne bhai par pura yakeen hain...woh zaroor wapas aayega ek din...
DCP Chitrnlle turned towards the door,as he had no answer for Daya's confident gesture,with...
DCP Chitrolle: dekhenge Daya...aur yeh challenge main accept karunga...kyun ki main hi jeetnewala hoon...good bye Daya...
Both of them thought that Abhijeet could not hear all these...but Abhijeet was hearing all these from the washroom and was crying silently...he was happy that his buddy trusted him so much and was not ready to leave him in the most crucial moment of his life but he was feeling that he was becoming the obstracle of Daya's life...and he was becoming the burden on Daya...he whispered in pain...
Abhijeet: mujhe maaf kar dena Daya...main tujh par bojh banke zindagi nahin beeta sakta...aur tujhe mere wajah se CID chodne ke koi zaroorat nahin hain...mujhe pata hain CID tere liye sirf ek naukri nahin hain balki tere zindagi hain...main tujhse tere zindagi nahin cheen sakta mere bhai...tu khush rehna mere bhai...
He came out after a while...Daya was sitting on his bed holding his head in his hands...hearing his footsteps,Daya looked up and saw Abhijeet was trying to come towards his bed...he immediately went to him and grabbed him with...
Daya: awaaz de sakte the...
Abhijeet did not say anything and duo came near Abhijeet's bed...Daya made him sit on the bed and he himself sat beside the bed while reading the newspaper...he was feeling Abhijeet's continous stare on him but he did not utter even a word...just pretending to be busy to read the newspaper...waiting for Abhijeet to start the conversation...finally Abhijeet said...
Abhijeet: Daya...I am sorry yaar...
Daya looked up towards his painful face and said in rude and rough tone...
Daya: is meherbani ke wajah?...
Abhijeet(in shocked tone): meherbani?...nahin Daya main...
Daya(cut him with harshness): jab mujhe chodke jaa rahe the tab to mera yaad nahin aaya tumhe?...(Abhijeet lowered his face)...to ab kyun?...ab kyun aaye ho sorry kehne?...
Abhijeet(in painful tone): yaar...main...main bohot dar gaya tha yaar...woh sab nazare...
He closed his eyes tightly and pressed his lips against each other...some tears rolled by his cheeks...Daya now felt sorry for his behaviour but he did not wipe away his tears but he asked in cold tone...
Daya: to?...to kya Abhijeet?...kuch nazare ke wajah se tum mujhe chodke jane wale the?...(Abhijeet lowered his face)...kya humare rishta itna sasta hain yaar ki tumhare zindagi mein hua ek bhayanak hadse ke wajah se use thukdaya jaa sake?...kya itni kamzor hain uski buniyad ki tum mujhe chodke jane se pehle ek baar bhi peeche mudke na dekho?...(in hurt)...tum mujhe chodke jaa rahe the yaar...kya itna asaan hain tumhare liye mujhe chodke jana?...kya itna paraya ho gaya hoon main aaj tumhare liye ki tum bas kuch karwi yaadon ke wajah se mujhe chodke chala jaao?...(in pain)...jaane se pehle ek baar bhi yeh nahin socha ki tumhare bina tumhare Daya ka kya haal hoga?...ya tumne mere parwa karna chod diya hain?...(Abhijeet looked up with a jerk,Daya in painful tone)...sahi hain yaar...kyun karoge tum mere parwa?...jab tumhare saath woh sab ho raha tha tab main thodi bacha paya tha tumhe?...(looking at Abhijeet's eyes)...tumhare gunehgaar hoon na main Abhi?...
In response Abhijeet pulled him in a tight hug with teary eyes and said in a moist tone...
Abhijeet: nahin mere bhai...bilkul nahin...kabhi nahin...kabhi bhi nahin...Daya I am...I sorry bhai...please maaf kar de apne is bewakoof bhai ko...maine tujhe bohot takleef diya haina?...(Daya nodded positively while wettening Abhijeet's shoulder with tears)...maine waada karta hoon tujhse Daya ki aainda aisi galti kabhi nahin karunga...(in pain)...yaar bas tu mujhse khafa mat rehna...(with tears)...mera aur hain hi kaun?...is halat mein to koi mujhe accept bhi nahin karega...
Daya did not protest as he knew it useless because the doctors had warned him already that Abhijeet's mind was now in very sensitive condition and he always accept only those matters and ideas which he considered right...Apurv had forbidden anyone else of CID team to meet Abhijeet now as Abhijeet thought that everyone was laughing at him and gossiping about him...only Daya was allowed to meet him as they had observed that Abhijeet never felt uncomfortable with his presence...rather than he remained more relaxed with Daya around him as he had found a tight grip of trust within him and he knew his buddy would protect him at any cost if the brutes attack him again...
Abhijeet was sitting on the bed in a half lying position with closed eyes and Daya was silently feeding him...all of a sudden Abhijeet sat up straight and said...
Abhijeet: bas Daya...mujhe aur nahin khana...
Daya looked at the soup bowl in his hand...more than half of the content had remained still...so he tried once...
Daya: boss please yaar...aur thoda kha lo...
Abhijeet opened his eyes and looked towards his eyes...seeing his painful eyes,Daya sighed and put down the bowl as nowadays it was impossible to make Abhijeet do something without his will...he knew if he had pressurized him,Abhijeet would have surely drunk the whole soup resulting in vomiting out the total after some moments...He just smiled and said...
Daya: theek hain phir...main ise rakhke aata...
His words stopped in the middle as Abhijeet grabbed his hand tightly with a panicked...
Abhijeet: tum jaa rahe ho mujhe chodke?...(Daya jerked in shock)...jaa rahe ho na?...mujhe pata tha tum chale jaaoge...par tumne to waada kiya tha na ki kabhi bhi mujhe chodke nahin jaaoge?...to ab kyun?...samajh gaya...tum mujhse naraz ho na ki main tumhe chodke jaa raha tha...(grabbed his hands in his)...yaar please mujhe maaf kar do...please mujhe chodke mat jaao...(in painful low whsper)...mat jaao mujhe chodke...mat jao...aainda aisa nahin...
Abhijeet stopped suddenly and began to pant heavily...Daya immediately began to rub his cold hands to provide the warmth of relaxment to him and said...
Daya: Abhi...Abhi...shant ho jaao...shant ho jaao...dekho main yahin hoon...kahin nahin janewala main...yahin hoon main...kahin bhi nahin jaunga main...
Abhijeet(not understanding): nahin...tum...tum chale jaaoge...mat jaao na...mujhe akela...akela...akela...dar lagta hain...
He was sweating profusely...taking deep breathes...Daya looked at him and then gently made him lay back on his bed...Abhijeet was silently looking at him with pleading eyes...
Daya felt a pinch in his heart seeing that painful pleading gaze but he smiled looking at him as he knew sometimes small act like a smile or any small steps like giving a warm hug could help a lot in fast healing of deep mental wounds which big steps or long consoling speeches could not do...
He took Abhijeet's cold hands in his hands and planted a soft kiss on them...Abhijeet felt that his heartbeat,which was super high till some moments ago,now was lowering down slowly...Daya now looked at the door as he had noticed a nurse was waiting with Abhijeet's morning doses...now he signalled her to enter...
She entered and handed the medicines to Daya...Daya waited until she left after taking the soup bowl...Daya now helped Abhijeet to pick up his head a bit and made him eat and drink all the medicines...Abhijeet laid back silently after all these and closed his eyes...
Daya now starred at his tired face for sometimes and then closed his own eyes for a while to gain strength...then he looked towards his buddy's face and said...
Daya: Abhi...
Abhijeet(still in closed eyes and in low tone): hmmmm...
Daya: tum jaa kyun nahin paye yaar?...
Abhijeet opened his eyes in jerk and looked towards him with strange expression...Daya internally felt scared but maintained his confused expression remembering his last night conversation with their friend Apurv...
Daya and Apurv was standing in front of Abhijeet's cabin looking at him through the glass door...suddenly Apurv said...
Apurv: Daya tum usse yeh puchna mat bhoolna ki woh hospital se nikla to tha par jaa kyun nahin paya?...
Daya(astronished): kyun yaar?...hume to pata haina ki woh us letter ke wajah se yahan se jaa nahin paya hain...(in anger)...pata nahin kaun diya woh letter use?...ek baar haath aaye na to gardan moror dunga...
Apurv: tumhe yeh baat isliye puchna hoga kyun ki Abhijeet ko yeh nahin pata ke hume us letter ke bare mein pata chale...usne us letter ko moror ke phenk diyatha...woh us letter ko humse chupana chahta tha...aur tumhe to pata haina ki Abhijeet kitna sharp hain...agar hum mein se kisi ne usse uske na jane ke wajah nahin pucha to use shaq ho jayega ki hume us letter ke bare mein pata hain...
Daya: par yaar woh us letter ke bare mein chupana kyun chahta hain?...I mean he should share it with us to help us to find his criminal...
Apurv(in painful tone): Daya Abhijeet ke saath jo kuch bhi hua hain us wajah se woh bohot sharminda hain...
Daya(cut him in anger): woh kyun sharminda hain?...uska thodi na koi galti hain...sharminda to use hona chahiye jisne yeh ghilona zulm kiya hain...
Apurv(with painful smile): kash yeh baat woh samajhta yaar...
Daya's trance broke with a low call from Abhijeet as...
Abhijeet: Daya!...
Daya(maintaining the same confused expression): batao na Abhi...tum jaa kyun nahin paye?...zara mujhe bhi to pata chale ki woh kaunse wajah se jisne mere bhai ko rok kiya mujhse dur jane se...
Abhijeet: woh actually...mera dil nahin kar raha tha jaane ka...phir mujhe chakkar aa gaya aur uske baad mujhe yaad nahin hain kya hua?...
He knew though he did not say the total truth...but the part 'mera dil nahin kar raha tha jaane ka' was cent percent true...yes he did not want to leave Daya...but he did not even resist himself too from going away from his brother...
During lunch,Daya said to Abhijeet in an excited tone...
Daya: pata hain boss ek khush khabri hain...
Abhijeet(in silent tone): khush khabri?...kya hain?...
Daya(in happy tone): aaj na Apurv tumhe hospital se discharge kar dega...Raat ko...tum aaj ghar jaoge boss...
Abhijeet shivered hearing the term 'discharge'...some printed words flashed in front of his eyes as...
AGAR EK KADAM BHI HOSPITAL SE BAHAR RAKHA NA TO PHIR SE UTHA LE JAUNGA...PHIR HUM PHIR SE WOH KHEL KHELENGE...
KHEL!...
KHEL!...
KHEL!...
KHEL!...
KHEL!...
Abhijeet jerked his head badly as he was feeling a stabbing pain in head...Daya touched his arm and said in panicked tone...
Daya: boss kya hua haan?...sar...sar mein dard ho raha hain kya?...
Abhijeet jerked away Daya's hand in irritation and shouted in scare...
Abhijeet: nahin jaana mujhe ghar...kahin nahin jaana hain...yahin rahunga main...
Daya grabbed him tightly with a consoling...
Daya: Abhi...Abhi...Abhi shant ho jao...boss kuch nahin hoga...kyun aise dar rahe ho?...main hoon na...
Abhijeet(still in panic): nahin...tum chale jao...chale jao tum...mujhe nahin chahiye kuch bhi...kuch bhi nahin...mujhe nahin chahiye discharge...
Daya remained silently starring at him...two drops of tears fell down from his eyes as some words were ringing in his ears...
Hospital bhi koi rehne ka jagah hain kya?...
Yaar Daya please mera discharge karwa de...
Mujhe hospital mein rehna achcha nahin lagta hain...
Main kuch nahin janta...tum mera discharge karwa do...
Daya's trance broke as Abhijeet's crying sound entered his ears...he looked at him and discovered that Abhijeet was crying with sound while burying his face in his palms...he wiped his tears and touched his arm with a soft and cute...
Daya: Abhi!...
The dike of tolerance of Abhijeet broke within a moment with the ever soothing loving call of his buddy and he hugged him tightly with...
Abhijeet: yaar Daya woh na mujhe ab bhi dara raha hain...
Daya pretended to be shocked as Apurv had instructed him to do so already so he acted well with a shocked...
Daya: kya?...kaise?...aur tumne mujhe bataya kyun nahin?...
Abhijeet(with sob): us din mujhe wardboy ke haathon message bheja tha...(Daya shocked as he knew nothing about it)...aur kal mujhe us security guard ke hathon chitthi bhejke dhamkaya ki agar main hospital se bahar gaya to woh mujhe phirse utha le jayega...isliye hi main jaa nahin paya...
Daya(really shocked): kya?...security guard ke haathon?...
Abhijeet(nodded): haan...jab main kal jaa raha tha na tab...
Abhijeet was leaving the hospital in slow steps...his eyes were full of tears as he was feeling extreme pain...not in his physical wounds but in his heart...he took a glance of the sleeping security guard and was about to leave when he heard...
Voice: ruk jaaiye...
Abhijeet shivered,stopped and turned with the fear to be caught...he discovered the security guard was looking towards him with fiery eyes...he asked...
Security guard: kahan jaa rahe hain aap?...
Abhijeet(in fear): woh main...actually...
Security guard(with smirk): aapke liye ek chitthi hain mere pass...
Abhijeet: chit...chitthi?...
He handed him the letter and went back in his chair to sleep...Abhijeet read the letter and bursted out in tears...
Daya's grip on Abhijeet tightened due to anger...his grip was so tight that Abhijeet screamed in pain as...
Abhijeet: aahh!...Daya you are hurting me...
Daya immediately realised him with a soft and soothing...
Daya: sorry yaar...I am sorry...lekin bas Abhi...main tumhe aur dard sehne nahin dunga...kabhi bhi nahin...
Abhijeet(in scary tone): to hum ghar to nahin jaa rahe haina?...yahin rahenge na?...
Daya(in firm tone): nahin boss...hum ghar zaroor jaayenge...aur aaj raat hi jaayenge...
Abhijeet(in scary helpless tone): Daya tum...
Daya(in firm,strong and confident tone): nahin Abhi maine ek baar bola haina ki aaj hi jaayenge...
Abhijeet nodded as he could not deny such voice containing so much confidence,strength and firmness...he only starred at the fiery eyes of his friend...
Daya too starred at the painful teary silent eyes of his friend and thought...
Daya: tum sahi keh rahe the Apurv...Abhi hospital mein safe nahin hain...
Daya helped Abhijeet to sit in the passenger seat of the qualis and he himself got into the driving seat...Apurv bent in front of the passenger seat's window and said in a loving tone...
Apurv: achcha Abhijeet ghar jao tum...apna khayal rakhna aur koi laparwahi mat karna theek hain?...dawai lena waqt par...
Abhijeet grabbed his hand after putting out his hand from window...Apurv gently touched his cheek and next moment two drops of warm tears fell on his hand...he wiped away the tears and said...
Apurv: kuch nahin hua Abhijeet...sab kuch theek ho jayega...
Abhijeet,with teary eyes,looked towards Daya who too nodded in assurance...Abhijeet now closed his eyes and attached his head with the head rest...
Apurv entered the hospital and Daya started his darling after closing the door properly...these sounds of door closing and car igniting made Abhijeet's heartbeat high...
He bit his lips and tried to control his fear by reminding himself continously that he was sitting in the same quallis in which he used to enjoy to travel with his best buddy...but his brain was not ready to listen to him and was getting panicked...
Daya sped up the car as they needed to reach home quickly...and with it Abhijeet's heartbeat too got speeden up...he was again feeling that...
Two pairs of strong hands grabbed from behind...pulled him inside a car...the door closed...the car ignited...he gave a strong blow on one's neck...in response someone stabbed an injection into his shoulder...
His head was becoming light...his eyes were becoming heavy...his limbs were not co operating...in between that he heard a loud door breaking crash from outside...
The car increased it's speed and from outside some gunshot could be heard...in response,somebody from the car fired twice...he himself whispered...
Abhijeet: Daya!...
After it darkness covered his gaze and he fell down on the seat,unconscious...
Abhijeet opened his eyes with a loud jerk and shouted in panic...
Abhijeet: gadi roko...main kehta hoon gadi roko...aaah!...chod do mujhe...mujhe mere Daya ke pass jana hain...(Daya was shocked to hear this)...main kehta hoon roko gadi...STOP the car...
He tried to apply the brakes,still in his trance but Daya stopped him easily as he was more powerful than him and Abhijeet was weak too...he knew he could not stop the car in the middle of the street which would result in arising of curiosity of people...and if they saw Abhijeet in this condition it would surely be a topic of hot gossip and the matter would reach to media...Daya did not want to inform media about Abhijeet's incident as this might create wrong impression in people's mind about Abhijeet's character...and Daya,surely,could not tolerate anyone blaming Abhijeet for that incident and rising questions about his character...
Daya increased the speed more despite knowing Abhijeet's condition as he had no other option left...Abhijeet was continously screaming and begging him to stop the car all these time...but now he became desparate and did something which Daya had never dreamt off...
Abhijeet,with a sudden kick,broke down the passenger side's door with the intention to jump out from the running car...the broken door got flew away in the air and Daya immediately parked the car at one side of the road as they had already entered a lonely street which the people avoided for rumours of presence of ghosts...
Next moment Abhijeet jumped out from the car and ran away in fear ignoring the pain of his leg wound...Daya too rushed out from the car and followed his way...
He did not need to go much far as he discovered his buddy was sitting under a tree,hiding his head in between his knees...
He did not get angry with his buddy as he knew it useless and would cause more harm of Abhijeet rather than any benifit...he gently touched him with a soft...
Daya: Abhi...
Abhijeet looked up towards him with teary and painful eyes...he was expecting some anger or harshness from Daya but he was just shocked to see love...just pure love in Daya's eyes...
Daya sat down beside him while grabbing his hands...Abhijeet silently put his head on his shoulder and after some moments bursted out into tears...Daya did not say anything...just silently gave time to cry out his heart...expelling pain and agony he was storing in his heart for long...
Duo entered their sweet home together...Daya was feeling extremely happy today as he was feeling himself complete after getting back his buddy after two long months...he could not resist his happy smile...
Abhijeet,on the other hand,was silent and expressionless...his eyes were blank and he was looking pale and drained...Daya gently touched his arm with a soft...
Daya: Abhi!...
Abhijeet looked up towards him in pain and then all of a sudden ran away towards his own room after giving a hard push to Daya...Daya did not try to stop him but whispered in pain...
Daya: bhagwaan please use aaj sachchai bardash karne ki takat dena...please god...
He sat on the sofa silently...waiting for any type of outburst of Abhijeet which soon came with a loud crash sound of glass breaking and a painful scream as...
Abhijeet: NAHINNNNNNNNNNN...
Daya could not wait anymore and rushed towards his buddy's room...but what he saw in the room made him spell bound...
