DUO's Home…
Morning was spreading around, when Daya woke up slowly and looked towards the wall clock to find it striking only 06:03 am… Rubbing his eyes and still yawning, he carefully sat on the bed and looked towards his brother to find him still enjoying his peaceful sleep… Smiling softly, Daya got down from the bed and after folding his quilt, in silence left the room towards his own…
After getting fresh, he directly made his way towards the kitchen and cooking himself a cup of tea, he returned in the terrace and started enjoying the steaming cup of tea while reading newspaper…
He was very much involved in enjoying his own company when feeling a well-recognized soft pressure on his shoulder…
Daya smilingly turned towards the person with: Good morning Boss…
Abhijeet replied smilingly with: Good morning… (While sitting on the next chair, asked casually as…) Akely akely chae enjoy ki ja rahi hai, hmm…?
Daya chuckled softly with: Tum soo rahy thy na, mairi jaldi aankh khul gae tou socha chae pei li jaye… (Offering his cup to him, asked him as…) Pio gy…?
Abhijeet raised his eye-brow with: Tairi joothi…? Ager yeh pei k main bhi sahab ki tarhan bk bk kerny lg gaya tou…?
Daya laughed sweetly with: Tou main tumhien kisi Kharos Boss ki tarhan chup hony ka nahin kahon ga… (Winked at him while stressing as…) Mairy Kharos Boss… (Abhijeet just gave him a disappointed glare while he added as…) Achha khair, tum baitho, main tumhary liye chae ly k aata hoon…
Abhijeet stopped him with: Arrey nahin, main yehi… (And with that he turned his confused gaze towards the cup, which Daya had just placed on the table, in shock with…) Hain, yeh tou khali hai…?!
And seeing the gaze had shifted towards him…
Daya shrugged in relaxed way with: Pichhly teen minute sy khali hai cup…
Abhijeet asked him burningly as: Tou tu mujhy khali cup offer ker raha tha…?
Daya winked at him with: Courtesy gesture Boss, courtesy gesture…
Abhijeet glared him with: Tairi tou… (Added angrily as…) Qasam sy dil ker raha hai Daya k issi khali cup sy taira yeh khali srr torr dun main…
Daya making face, grumbled as: Hunh, jealous…
When seeing him still sitting there…
Abhijeet frustratingly placing the empty cup on the table, asked him teasingly as: Sahab shaid mairy liye chae bnnany ja rahy thy…
Daya looked at him coldly with: Woh bhi courtesy gesture tha…
Abhijeet gave him a deadly glare with: Tu ny subha subha mujh sy maar kha laini hai Daya, btta raha hoon main tujhy…
Daya knowing well that, that warning should not be ignored by him, stood up while replying grumpily as: Aagy sy kabhi tumhien kuchh nahin offer kerny wala main, hunh…
And he left inside, leaving his frustrated brother outside while both brothers remained busy in their grumblings and then jerking their heads, one got busy in reading the newspaper while the other, in making tea…
Soon Daya returned with a cup of hot tea and served it to the elder one with: Boss…!
Abhijeet smilingly grabbed it when seeing the younger one headed towards his chair, stopped him with: Daya rukk, baithny kyun lgga hai tu…?
Daya asked him teasingly as: Tou kya barey sahab ki honour mein rassoya k jaisy hath bandh k khara rahon k sir kb cup khali krien gy aur main ly k jaon ga…?
Abhijeet hiding his laugh replied coolly as: Hmm, wasey idea tou kafi achha hai…
Daya mimicked him burningly as: Hunh, idea tou kafi achha hai…
And jerking his head, he was again headed towards his chair when…
Abhijeet again stopped him with: Daya rukk ja aik minute…
Daya looked at him furiously with: Abhi kya masla hai bhae tumhien, kyun tang ker rahy ho subah subah…? (Showing finger towards him, told him hurriedly as…) Main breakfast bilkul nahin bnnaon ga Boss, iss liye sochna bhi mtt tum…
Abhijeet replied him in teasingly sweet tone as: Sahab ka bnaya hua breakfast main kron ga bhi nahin, mairi szza k din purey ho gaye hain…
Daya declared loudly as: Now it is official Boss that I hate you so much…
Abhijeet chuckled enjoyably with: Yeah, I love you too, aur ab jao tum aur ja k taiyar ho Bureau…
Daya hurriedly cut him with: Kya, itni jaldi…? (Glanced over his mobile screen to find it showing 06:27 am hence tried to remind the elder one as…) Sir ny dus bjjy…
Abhijeet cut him with: Sb relaxations khatam sir…
Daya replied him burningly as: Yeh relaxation na sir ny khud di hai iss liye tumhary paas koe right nahin hai iss ko khatam kerny ka, hunh…
Abhijeet shrugged casually with: Theek hai phir main sir ko hi call ker k kehta hoon k sahab ko hamesha k liye Bureau sy relax ker dien…
Daya looked at him in shock with: Boss tum…
Abhijeet cut him coldly with: Aap ja rahy hain ya…
And he pretended like going to grab his mobile resulting…
Daya grumbled loudly as: Ravan na, sir ki jagah tumhara naam hona chahiye tha, hunh…
Abhijeet giving him a cold smile replied as: Thank you… (Added in sweetly-warned tone as…) Aur sahab ki ittelah k liye arz hai k aaj sy main iss baat ko make sure kerny wala hoon k aap bilkul time py Bureau pohanchien, samjh gaye…?
Daya looked at him irritatingly as: Yeh tum aaj itni subah subah uth kaisy gaye ho…? Medicines nahin li thien kya raat mein…?
Abhijeet glared him in utter disappointment with: Jitni tezzi sy sahab ki zaban kaam kerti hai na, uss sy aadhi tezzi sy bhi sahab ka dimagh kaam kerta hota tou sahab ko yaad hota, mairy sb medicine courses kal subah purey ho chuky hain…
Daya grumbled under his breath as: Hunh, medicines courses iss k purey hoye hain, problem mairy liye ho gaya hai…
Abhijeet though heard him but still asked as: Kuchh kaha kya tum ny…?
Daya looked at him burningly with: Mairi itni himmet…
Abhijeet nodded while sipping tea with: Good… (And turning his gaze back towards the newspaper, concluded as…) Jao ab, you have only twenty minutes…
Daya just looked at him in frustration and then left from there grumbling loudly, though for obvious reasons, it went completely unnoticed…
Soon Abhijeet too left towards the kitchen, grabbing the empty cup with him to find an arranged kitchen welcomed him which was surprising for him, especially seeing the washed saucepan in the utensils' stand…
Abhijeet while washing his tea cup, murmured smilingly as: Chalo sahab mein yeh change tou achha aaya hai, I can work with it…
And he chuckled on his own and shaking head, getting disappointed on his own self he got busy in preparing breakfast for the two, still having a sweet-disappointed smile on his face…
Soon after serving the breakfast on the dining table…
Abhijeet while placing a jug of fresh juice, called loudly as: Daya aa jao jaldi sy, tumhary bess minute khatam hoye bhi, bess minute ho gaye hain…
Daya hurriedly emerging from the room, replied as: Jhooty, sirf saat minute oper hoye hain…
Abhijeet looked at him disappointedly with: Ftta-ftt kro ab, aa jao…
Daya without arguing further, joined the elder one on the breakfast and after having it in casual talks, Abhijeet left to get ready while Daya got busy in cleaning the table and then the kitchen and soon, both brothers left towards the Bureau…
CID Bureau…
Busy in their casual talks, DUO entered inside the Bureau hall to find it empty hence Daya looked towards his wrist-watch in confusion to find it striking 07:53 am, hence…
Daya instantly turned towards Abhijeet in frustration with: Daikha, itna shor ker rahy thy jaldi kro, jaldi kro, koe bhi nahin aaya ab tk…
Abhijeet, who was already busy in cursing his luck in his mind knowing well that Daya won't let him go easily, made his voice casual while replying as: Haan tou jb aadha aadha ghanta late aata hai tu, tb koe shor machata hai kya k late aaye hain sahab, aaj…
Daya instantly cut him with: Woh tumhary pyary ACP sir sy class bhi lagti hai na tb faltu ki… (While stretching his both arms to show the elder one, the length, added furiously as…) Itniiiii lambi speech sun'nny ko milti hai subah subah… (Abhijeet just turned his face away to hide his laugh while Daya still continued as…) Aur tumhara lecture alag…
Abhijeet finally cut him with: Tou sahab py koe assar hota hai kya iss sb ka…?
Daya making face replied as: Boss daikho tum na baat nahin bddlo… (Asked him sternly as…) Aur saaf saaf btao k yeh itni subah subah kisi shareef insan ko Bureau la k patakh daina kahan ki insaniyat hai, haan…?
Abhijeet trying really hard to maintain a serious face replied as: Daya tu sirf saat minute pehly aaya hai aur shor easey macha raha hai jaisy saat ghanty pehly aa gaya ho…
Daya argued as: Achha bchchu, yehi saat minute ager hum late aa jaty na tou saat ghanty ka lecture sun'nny ko milta mujhy, lekin nahin, barey sahab k apny liye aur rules hain, mairy liye aur, hunh…
Abhijeet glared him with: Mun bnd ker apna aur apny desk py ja, abhi aa jaye gi team bhi…
And with that Abhijeet also left towards his desk…
Hurriedly followed by Daya, who suggested him burningly as: Tb tk hum easa kerty hain k aik jharoo tum utha lo, aik main utha laita hoon aur mil k Bureau ki safai hi ker laity hain, aur tou kuchh hai nahin itni subah kerny ko…
Abhijeet who was present on his desk now, managing seriousness on his face, replied in complete calm as: Mairy paas iss sy better idea hai…
Daya asked with raised eyebrow as: Kya…?
Abhijeet gave him a sweet smile with: Main sahab k desk ka aik chakker lgga aata hoon…?
Daya, instantly getting what the elder one was saying, hurriedly asked as: Kyun, mairy desk ka chakker kyun, tum koe ACP sir ho ya kisi inspection team sy aaye ho, brrey aaye chakker lgany waly…
And he hurried away, without testing the latter's patience anymore because of very well knowing the exact consequences of doing that blunder…
When seeing Daya had finally stopped fussing about coming early and had gotten busy in completing his as usual pending file work, Abhijeet exhaling a relaxed sigh, too grabbed his seat, still shaking his head in utter disappointment…
Soon the team members also arrived and after wishing them morning while sidewise welcoming Abhijeet warmly, who had come for the first time in Bureau after recovering, they too left towards their respective desks and got busy in their usual works…
Around nine ACP sir also arrived and the team wished him morning and after replying them, ACP sir looked towards his elder son's desk and a deep smile formed on his face seeing the rightful honour of the place had returned there, resulting him directly made his way in that direction and…
ACP sir smilingly patted Abhijeet's shoulder with: So my boy, back in the battlefield…?
Abhijeet nodded sweetly in confident smile as: Yes sir, completely…
ACP sir nodded affectionately with: Good… (Forwarded his hand with…) Welcome back Senior Inspector Abhijeet…
Abhijeet in cute-shy smile grabbed his father's hand firmly with: Thank you sir… (Freeing the hand, completed as…) It's good to be back…
ACP sir smilingly replied as: It's good to have you back son… (And inhaled a deep breath as the "Stone-hearted" ACP Pradyuman could not get emotional and hence he directly left towards his cabin with…) Back to work, everyone…
The officers present there were not just cops but his family who knew him well and hence, exchanging disappointed smiley glances, they got busy in their works while the elder son left towards his father's cabin…
ACP Sir's Cabin…
Abhijeet giving a soft knock on the cabin's door, asked as: Sir…?!
ACP sir hurriedly rubbing his thumb near his eye-corner, sat with a composed-straight face with: Abhijeet, aao, ander aao…
Abhijeet entered inside with: Thank you sir…
And closing the cabin's door on his back, he moved forward and sat on the chair following ACP sir's signal while…
ACP sir asked him as: Hmm, btao kya baat hai…?
Abhijeet replied a little hesitantly as: Woh sir, kuchh pouchhna tha…?
ACP sir nodded confusingly as: Pouchho…?
Abhijeet asked him in care-filled tone as: Bahir aansu kyun aaye aap ki aankhon mein sir…?
ACP sir looked at him for few moments in silence and then shook his head in disappointed smile with as: Bs tumhien wapis yahan, iss tarhan sy daikh k mujhy itni khushi mili k bs ussi khushi sy aankhien bhar aaien… (Looked at him loving-moist smile as…) Bohut intezar kia hai iss pal ka Abhijeet, unn desks py tum dono ko yunhi wapis ekatha daikhny ka, bohut intezar…
Abhijeet replied in soft smile as: Sir ab tou aap ka intezar khatam ho gaya na, please ab bhool jaien aap woh sb kuchh, ab sb theek hai…
ACP sir nodded lightly with: Hmm, shuker hai bhagwan ka k ab sb theek hai… (And then inhaling a deep breath to change the topic, asked in fresh tone as…) Achha khair yeh btao k tumhara ladla kaisa hai…? Bohut shor machaya ho ga kal tou uss ny…? Ker lia tha ussy qabbu…?
Abhijeet, who was smiling during the whole, argued weakly as: Sir sirf maira ladla tou nahin hai woh…
And in mind completed the sentence as "Main tou yunhi bdnaam hoon, asal mein tou aap ny bigara hai ussy…"
And seemed like his father had read his thoughts hence,
ACP sir asked him stiffly as: Kya soch rahy ho tum Abhijeet…?
Abhijeet hurriedly coming back on scene shook his head while clearing his throat with: Nahin sir, kuchh khas nahin… (And then diverting the topic while replying the answers, added as…) Aur jee sir, ker lia tha qabbu ussy kal, aur mnna bhi lia tha baad mein…
ACP sir nodded with: Hmm, uss ko sambhalny k tou hazar tariqy aaty hain tumhien… (Added teasingly as…) Wasey ager Daya naam ka koe subject hota na Abhijeet tou tum hoty uss mein… (Abhijeet just moved his head down in an embarrassed smile where ACP sir asked him meaningfully as…) Achha khair, yeh btao woh hai kaisa…? (Abhijeet looked at him in confusion so he elaborated as…) Brrtao uss ka tumhari ourh…?
Abhijeet nodded while inhaling a deep breath with: Drra hua hai sir woh, ab bhi bohut zada drra hua hai… (Told him in silent tone as…) Kal bohut burri tarhan sy dantta ussy main ny aur ghussy mein kuchh zada bol gaya main, uss sy uss k behaviour mein kuchh positive changes tou aaien hain, woh koshish ker raha hai, lekin shaid yehi problem hai k woh bohut zada koshish ker raha hai… (Looked at him hurtfully with…) Woh mujh sy khud ko chhupa raha hai sir… Aap ko ptta hai, persoon raat main ny ussy dantt ker uss k kamry mein bhaij dia tou kal pehly sy hi bahana bnna k mairy sath mairy kamry mein sooya hai woh, aik pal k liye bhi mujhy akela nahin chhorna chahta, jaisy woh sb drr uss k dil mein ghar ker gaya hai…
ACP sir, who was silently listening to his elder son, nodded with: Hmm, andaza tha mujhy iss baat ka… (Added in regret-filled tone as…) Uss ny yeh lrrai lrri bhi tou akely hai, main ny ussy khud hi khud sy dour ker dia, ptta nahin…
Abhijeet cut him softly with: Sir please, main ny abhi aap sy request ki na k aap woh sb bhool jaien, humein koe shikayet nahin hai aap sy, promise… (ACP sir gave him an affectionate smile while he added as…) Mujhy bs chinta iss baat ki hai k woh sb kuchh apny ander rakhta ja raha hai, woh bahir nahin aany dy raha apny khof aur apny aansu, kuchh bhi…
ACP sir asked him in soft smile as: Tou tumhary k thesis mein iss angle py koe sujhao nahin tha kya…?
Abhijeet looked at him in sweet smile with: Tha sir, aaj apply kerna hai woh…
ACP sir chuckled softly with: All the best…
Abhijeet smiled lightly with: Thank you sir… (And then asked him casually as…) Sir main bs aap k barey mein hi pouchhny aaya tha, ab main jaon…?
ACP sir nodded with: Hmm jao…
Abhijeet giving him a node left the cabin…
Bureau Hall…
When seeing him returning and grabbing his seat again, getting busy in his work…
Daya came towards his desk and asked him in soft whispered tone as: Boss, kaisy hain sir…?
Abhijeet replied him in soft smile as: Bilkul theek aur bohut khush bhi… (And then the same moment getting an idea, added in flow as…) Bl k sir ny tou mairy wapis aany ki khushi mein mujhy aik mission bhi assign ker dia hai…
Daya hurriedly standing straight, asked in real shocked tone as: Kya…?!
Abhijeet looked at him in fake confusion with: Tumhien kya ho gaya achanak…? Iss mein iss tarhan sy react kerny wali kya baat hai…? (While getting busy with his work, added casually as…) Ab job wapis join ki hai tou yeh sb tou ho ga na, hissa hai yeh humary kaam ka…
Daya losing his patience grabbed his wrist with: Utho…
Abhijeet looked at him in real confusion now with: Daya kya…
Daya, though still his pitch of voice was low, cut him getting hyper now: Utho, mujhy baat kerni hai, utho…
Abhijeet standing from his seat, turned towards him but before he could ask something, Daya pulled him out the Bureau hall, still tightly clutching his wrist, ignoring all the glances that had shifted towards them…
Bureau's Lawn…
Reaching at the Bureau's backside lawn, Daya finally freed the elder one's wrist and…
Abhijeet asked him sternly as: Daya yeh kya tariqa hai…? Kya hua hai tumhien achanak sy…?
Daya told him in straight tone as: Tum nahin ja rahy kisi mission py, samjhy tum…?
Abhijeet, who was referring towards the mission of talking to Daya and had thought to do that at night on the beach, felt that the current time was the best time to do that mission and hence…
Abhijeet replied calmly while moving with the flow as: Kyun…? Kyun nahin ja sakta main kisi mission py…?
Daya replied in anger as: Kyun k main keh raha hoon… Tumhary liye mairi baat ki koe ehmiyat nahin hai kya Abhijeet…?
Abhijeet inhaled deeply knowing well that Daya used to call him with his full name only when he was actually serious about something and really meant what he was saying hence…
Abhijeet replied him softly as: Tumhari aur tumhari baat ki bohut ehmiyat hai mairi zindagi mein Daya lekin…
Daya cut him with: Nahin, koe lekin nahin sun'nana mujhy Abhijeet, bs tum nahin ja rahy kisi mission py, keh dia hai main ny bs… (Told him in straight tone as…) Ager bohut zarori hai jana tou main chala jaon ga tumhari jagah lekin tum nahin jao gy Abhijeet, bilkul nahin…
Abhijeet asked him in straight tone as: Kb tk…?
Daya looked at him in confusion with: Kya…?!
Abhijeet repeated himself calmly with: Kitny time tk mission py nahin ja sakta main…? Saal, doo saal, panch saal ya sari zindagi…? Kb tk…?
Daya did not know what to reply now as he had not thought that far, his fear of losing his only relation was too great to think anything else when seeing him getting quiet…
Abhijeet called him out softly as: Daya…?!
Daya burst out in frustrated-anger as: Mujhy nahin ptta, suun lia tum ny…? Nahin ptta mujhy kb tk, bs jb tk main nahin kahon ga, tb tk, tum nahin jao gy bs…
Abhijeet inhaled deeply with: Theek hai… (Daya looked at him in shock seeing him agreeing so easily while he added as…) Aur ager tum chaho gy tou main CID sy bhi resign kerny ko taiyar hoon… (Daya looked at him with widening eyes while Abhijeet, who knew very well when to be extra strict and when to be extra soft with the younger one to handle him positively, moving forward caringly cupped his face with…) Mairy liye tujh sy ehem kuchh nahin hai Daya, kuchh bhi nahin…
And it seemed like he did hit the bull's eye, as the younger one could no longer hold back his emotions, resulting him instantly hugged the elder one really tightly and in the warmth of that undying trust and love, when did he burst out in tears, he himself did not know…
On the other side, Abhijeet was having a soft smile on his face now and was caringly rubbing his hand in the younger one's head though did not stop him from crying, even once…
After few minutes of seeing him calming down…
Abhijeet smoothly separated him and wiping off his teary face, told him softly as: Baitho…
Daya nodded while following his brother and both sat on the bench present right behind them and Daya was sitting there silently with closed eyes while resting his head on the elder one's shoulder, who was now grabbing his hand in his firm-assuring grip…
After waiting for few moments for the younger one to say something…
Abhijeet himself initiated as: Drr gaye ho tum Daya, ehsas hai mujhy iss baat ka… (And receiving only silence instead of denial from the other side, Abhijeet added in real soft tone as…) Lekin bchcha, zindagi sy jitna drro gy, yeh tumhien utna hi drraye gi… (Moving back and making Daya looked at him, asked politely as…) Ager main mission py nahin jaon ga, chalo CID bhi chhor dun ga aur tum hr samey mairy sath raho gy, tou kya tum pury vishvas sy keh sakty ho k mujhy kuchh nahin ho ga, hmm…?
Daya getting restless tightened his grip on the latter's hand with: Abhi please, nahin kro na easi baatien, please…
Abhijeet replied him softly as: I'm sorry bchcha, tujhy preshan kerna ya drrana maqsad nahin hai maira, lekin tujhy samjhana maqsad zaror hai… (Inhaling a deep breath, completely turning towards him, added as…) Daya woh sb cheezien jo tujhy uss andhery ki yaad dila sakti thien, woh tou main ny dy dien, lekin yeh dard, yeh khof jo yahan hai… (Softly patted on Daya's chest with…) Yahan… Yeh main kisi ko nahin dy sakta bchcha kyun iss py sirf maira haq hai… (Daya looked at him with tears filled eyes while Abhijeet whispered in soft-moist tone as…) Taira haq bhi nahin hai iss py Daya, taira haq nahin hai iss py…
Daya just hid his face in his palms while crying with voice again while Abhijeet smoothly wrapped him in his comforting assuring embrace and placed a soft kiss on his head while…
Daya whispered between sobs as: Mujhy tumhien khony sy bohut drr lagta hai Abhi, bohut zada drr… (While tightening his grip around the elder one, added as…) Ager kabhi tum mairy sath nahin raho gy na Abhi tou main phir sy annat ho jaon ga yar… (Abhijeet just tightened his assuring security around him though did not interrupt him while Daya added between tears as…) Aur mujhy phir sy annat nahin hona Boss, mujhy nahin hona phir sy annat… (Abhijeet tried to assure him by calling lovingly as "Daya…!" but the younger one continued in his own flow as…) Tum mairy sath nahin rehty ho na Abhi tou mujhy samjh nahin aati main kya kron, kahan jaon, ks sy baatien kron… Mujhy kuchh bhi achha nahin lgta, kuchh bhi kerny ka dil nahin kerta, itni ajeeb ho jati hai zindagi, baemani [Meaningless…] si… (And moving back from the hug, Daya tightly secured the elder one's both hands in his own with…) Aur Boss main kabhi bhi tumhien sir sy, inn sb sy dour nahin ly jana chahta tha, sach, lekin main bohut drr gaya tha yar, mujhy…
Abhijeet cupping his face finally cut him with: Shh, Daya bs bchcha, main ny pouchha kya kabhi tujh sy iss barey mein kuchh, hmm…? Tairi jagah main hota tou main bhi wohi kerta jo tu ny kia, samjha…? (Daya just nodded quietly with down head, falling some fresh drops while Abhijeet added softly as…) Lekin woh sb waqt guzar chukka hai Daya, tu bhi ussy guzar jany dy yar… (Smoothly lifting his face up looked in his moisture filled eyes affectionately with…) Waqt ki yehi tou khasiyat hai na bchcha k achha ho ya bura, guzar jata hai aur peichhy sirf yaadien chhor jata hai… (Added in soft smile as…) Achhi yaadien sambhal k rakhny k liye aur… (While wiping off the younger one's moist face concluded as…) Aur buri yaadien achhi yaadon sy replace kerny k liye, samjha…?
Daya just nodded silently with: Hmm, main koshish kron ga Boss…
Abhijeet nodded in soft smile with: Hmm, zaror kerna koshish lekin ager mujh sy khud ho chhupany ki dobara koshish ki tou sahab janty hain mujhy achhy sy, hai na…? (Daya softly chuckled between tears while wiping off his wet face, still grabbing the elder one's hand tightly in his other hand, giving him a slow node where Abhijeet asked him softly as…) Tou ab btao, resign kron ya jaon mission py…?
And he looked down feeling Daya's grip had tightened on his hand where…
Daya moved restlessly with: Abhi tumhien kya jaldi hai mission py jany ki, main keh tou raha hoon main chala jaon ga tumhari jagah… (While signalling him towards his walking-stick added as…) Aur yun bhi iss k sath tum mission py nahin ja pao gy, HQ nahin bhaiji gi tumhien…
Abhijeet replied calmly as: HQ ko rehny doo Daya, aur iss stick ko bhi, sirf apni baat kro tum iss waqt…?
Daya shook his head with: Nahin, tum nahin jao… (Looked at him in agitated manner with…) Main ny kaha hai na k main koshish kron ga lekin mujhy time tou doo thora… (And added in the same breath as…) Aur ab yeh mtt pouchhna kitna time… (Inhaled deeply while turning his face away with…) Kyun k mujhy nahin ptta iss ka jawab…
Abhijeet exhaled a heavy breath with: Theek hai, jb jawab mil jaye tou mujhy btta daina… Tb tk… (Gave a soft pat on his hand's upper side with…) Take your time…
Daya looked towards him who gave him an assuring smile with a soft pat on his cheek and moving forward, Daya hugged him with his full strength who smilingly patted his back…
Separating from the assuring embrace…
Abhijeet asked him softly as: Ab chalien Bureau…?
Daya asked hesitantly as: Abhi, mission hai kya…? Kya briefing di hai sir ny…?
Abhijeet looked at him for few moments to find him continuously looking away so inhaling a deep breath…
Abhijeet replied in soft tone as: Mission tou bohut mushkil hai Daya… (And a soft smile formed on his face seeing the younger one had silently closed his eyes where Abhijeet placing his free hand on Daya's hand, added as…) Mission ka naam hi itna khatarnak hai… (Smoothly turning Daya's face towards himself, added lovingly as…) Aur mission ka naam hai "Make Daya Understand"…
Daya looked at him in utter confusion with: Kya…?! Kya matlab…?
Abhijeet shrugged casually with: Yehi mission tou assign kia tha sir ny office mein, tujhy samjhana…
It took few moments for the younger one to grasp the actual meaning of what the elder one was saying and as soon as he did…
Daya instantly stood up in frustrated-anger with: Abhi kya kerty ho tum Boss…? Yeh koe mazaq hai kerny wala…? Tumhien andaza bhi hai kitna drr gaya tha main… Tum…
And he just stopped while jerking his head and turned away still looking really distressed and angry too where the elder one who was calmly sitting there, stood up and reaching near him…
Abhijeet grabbing his arm smoothly turned him towards himself with: Issi liye tou kaha na k khatarnak mission…
Daya cut him in frustration as: Abhi stop it yar, please, just stop… (While spreading his palm on his forehead which he used to do in tension and nervousness, told him as…) Dobara nahin kerna mujh sy easa mazaq Abhijeet, please…
And turning, he was about to leave the place when…
Abhijeet grabbed his arm with: Daya rukko…
Daya looked at him tiredly with: Abhi iss waqt nahin please, baad mein, please…
Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Nahin, issi waqt, jo baat ho di yahin ho gi aur abhi ho gi, tumhien apna yeh sb khof yahin chhorna ho ga Daya… (Daya just turned his face away where Abhijeet told him in firm tone as…) Khof ko jitna sambhal k rakho gy na Daya, woh khud tou utna hi berhy ga lekin tumhien aagy nahin berhny dy ga… (Seeing Daya still looking away, asked him softly as…) Daya yahan daikho… (Seeing the latter still looking away, Abhijeet asked strictly this time as…) Daya yahan daikho… (Daya turned his gaze towards him and looking once in his those scanning eyes, the younger one had moved his gaze away again hence Abhijeet cupping his face and making him look at himself, added softly as…) Zindagi mein humary hath mein sirf koshish kerna hota hai Daya natija kabhi humary hath mein nahin hota… (Removing his hands, told him politely as…) Main ny koshish ki aur apni sans tootny nahin di, tum ny koshish ki aur mujhy aandheron mein bhatakny nahin dia, sir ny koshish ki aur team ko humari absence mein bhi kamzor perny nahin dia, hum sb ny apni apni jagah koshish ki Daya aur aakhri sans tk sirf koshish ker sakty hain… (Softly patted on Daya's chest with…) Lekin yeh jo khof hai na yahan, yeh tumhien hrra dy ga Daya, koshish sy pehly hrra dy ga… (Lovingly cupped his face again with…) Aur tu haar gaya tou main bhi haar jaon ga bchcha, iss liye tujhy ab mairy liye apny iss drr sy lrrna ho ga, bilkul wasey jaisy tu mairy liye qismet sy lrr gaya, lrry ga na…?
Daya nodded while placing hands on the elder one's hands with: Hmm, lrron ga aur jeeton ga bhi, promise…
Abhijeet gave him an affectionate smile where moving forward, Daya smoothly hugged him tightly while dropping a silent drop of contentment while Abhijeet had smilingly patted his back, encouragingly…
Soon calming each other's restless emotions and thoughts, DUO in calm smile and casual talks, moved back towards the Bureau hall…
Bureau Hall…
All the cops present there saw them returning but no one gave them any extra attention, remaining busy in their own works, knowing well that, that was the right decision for the time… Where DUO to left towards their respective desks and soon got busy in their works…
Time passed like that, no new case reported so team remained busy in doing their regular file work when around 09 of the night, coming out from his cabin and standing in the Bureau's hall…
ACP sir announced in audible-to-all tone as: Chalo sb log apna kaam samaito, aur bina koe sawal kiye mairy ghar chalo…
Abhijeet asked him in confusion as: Sir, aap k ghar kyun…?
ACP sir turned towards him and looking serious asked him as: Abhijeet, kya age hai tumhari…?
Abhijeet looking in shocked-confusion, asked as: Jee sir…?!
ACP sir repeated in calm tone as: Age tumhari…?
Abhijeet looking awkwardly to the other smiley gazes, turned back towards his fatherly figure with: Sir, 41…
ACP sir asked him in straight tone as: Aur abhi sy tumhien kmm suun'nany ki beemari ho gae hai…? (Daya had just turned his face away with tightly pressed palm against his mouth to chock his laughter blast while others were also in difficult situation while Abhijeet had turned red in embarrassment, standing there with down head, receiving that calm snubbing while ACP sir added as…) Suna nahin tum ny k bina koe sawal kiye jana hai, hmm…?
Abhijeet cursing his luck and curiosity in his mind, trying to find his voice back, replied as: Ss-sorry sir…
ACP sir just shook his head and left from there towards the Bureau hall's door with: Jaldi pohancho sb gahr py, main wait ker raha hoon…
And seeing him leaving, Daya had finally gave way to his laugh, receiving an angriest glare from the elder one, though it went completely unnoticed by the latter while…
Abhijeet grumpily got busy in showing his all frustration on those poor things present on his desk with: Ks ny kaha tha zada hoshiyar bn'nany ko, gahr ja k bhi ptta chal sakta tha na… (Angrily placing the pen, pencils in the pen-holder…) Lekin nahin, sakoon tou hai hi nahin na… (Rashly placing the file in the drawer and locking it with…) Ab mil gaya sakoon dantt kha k fazool mein…
When turned feeling a pat on his shoulder where while hiding his mischievous smile…
Daya asked in fake innocence as: Chalien kya, budhdhy Boss…?
Abhijeet giving a frustrated punch on his upper arm, replied angrily as: Subah uth k sb sy pehly sahab ka chehra daikha tha shaid main ny, tabhi itna bura din gaya hai maira…
Daya argued angrily as: Haan jaisy rooz tou tum Brad Pitt ya Tom Cruise ka chehra daikhty ho na, aaj maira daikh lia, hunh…
Abhijeet while pushing him aside, replied as: Chal htt, peichhy htt… (Added turning towards the team, asked them as…) Aur chalo tum sb bhi, warna tum logon ki bhi parade ho jaye gi…
They all just hid their chuckles and smilingly followed him who was now busy in snubbing the chatter box for continuously eating his helpless ears while the latter remained adamant in making sure that the elder one's hearing ability was absolutely fine…
ACP Sir's Home…
Finally the cops reached at ACP sir's home and…
Abhijeet while coming out from the car, snubbed the latter with: Daikha, Freddy log pehly pohanch gaye hain hum sy, ab ager Ravan sy prade hue na tou tujhy aagy kron ga main bhi…
Daya argued back with: Tou maira kya dosh hai iss mein, Freddy ko petrol chahiye tha shaam mein tou dy dia main ny ussy, gari mein sirf itna hi petrol tha k petrol pump tk pohanch sakey, bs… (Grumbled in frustration as…) Tumhary ghussy py thori chalti hai gari jo hr samey tank full hi rahy, hunh…
Abhijeet, who had very well heard him, gave a hard smack on his shoulder with: Hr samey bs fazool bkwas kerna tum Daya… (And receiving an angry-grumpy look in return, glared him with…) Bell bjjany ka kasht ker lien ab aap sir, nahin tou peichhy htt jaien aur mujhy punney kamany ka moqqa dien…
Daya grumbling under his breath pressed the bell button hardly when waiting for few moments, seeing no one coming, he pressed a little more hardly this time and then the third time when…
Abhijeet pulling back his hand, snubbed him with: Aby kya ker raha hai, hath tou htta bell sy…
Daya presented his point irritatingly as: Yar koe aa hi nahin raha hai tou socha easey hi sahi… (Slipping towards the elder one, added thoughtfully as…) Mujhy lgta hai na Boss k sir ki thori umr ho gae hai aur jb log borhy ho jaty hain na tou unhien baatien bhi bhool jati hain aur woh kahin py bhi soo jaty hain… (Abhijeet continued looking at the latter in shocked-amusement while he nodded to him in complete seriousness with…) Mujhy lg raha hai k sir bhi humien bula k khud soo gaye hain…
Finally Abhijeet let out a loud laugh, seeing Daya was absolutely serious on his theory where shaking his head in extreme disappointment…
Abhijeet uttered as: Kya Daya tu bhi na, kuchh bhi…
Daya argued as: Tou phir koe drwaza kyun nahin khol raha, kb sy bell bjja rahy hain yahan khary…
Abhijeet shrugged causally with: Ho sakta hai bell kharab ho gae ho… (While signalling towards Freddy's car in which the other TRIO came there, added as…) Sahab ki assumption sahi hoti tou yeh sb bhi iss samey bahir hoty… (Daya not having any answer jerked his head with "Hunh" where Abhijeet taking out his mobile, concluded as…) Main Freddy ko call…
But before he could complete, the main door got opened and…
Tasha hurriedly said apologetically as: So sorry sir, late ho gaye drwazy khony mein…
Daya entering inside asked grumpily as: Sirf late…
Abhijeet snubbed him with: Daya…! (Receiving only a grumpy look in return, he shaking head disappointedly turned towards Tasha with…) It's Okay Tasha, koe baat nahin, yeh tumhary Daya sir ka tou tumhien ptta hi hai, bhagwan moqqa dy issy bs mun phulany ka…
Tasha chuckled softly where after locking the main door…
Daya turned towards her while moving forward with the two with: Wasey tum sb log busy kahan thy, jo itna…
And a loud cheer of "SURPRISEEE…!" stopped him from completing and he too looked in front of him to find an elegantly decorated lounge, occupied with the whole CID team, alongwith Dr. Rishab, Lallan and Ballu, who were present there wearing broad smiles and shining eyes… DUO looked towards each other in surprised-shock and then towards them again when…
Dr. Salunkhy said smilingly as: Arrey easey kya daikh rahy ho tum dono…? Koe sapna nahin hai yeh sb… (Completed naughtily as…) Tumhary iss kanjoos baap ny sach mein kharcha ker dia hai iss baar…
DUO let out a moist chuckle where…
ACP sir said disappointedly as: Salunkhy…! (And then turning towards his sons, said in effectionate smile with…) Aur tum dono ab tk wahin kyun khary ho, aagy aao, yeh sb arrangments tum logon k liye hi tou hain…
DUO nodded him moistly and seeing the elder one was moving ahead, younger one also followed him smilingly, when…
Abhijeet moving back from the hug, asked in overwhelming voice as: Sir yeh iss sb ki kya zarort thi…? Aap…
ACP sir cut him with: Abhijeet, khushi zarort daikh ker nahin, khushi sy manae jati hai… (Making his voice tough, told him as…) Aur ab no more formalities, jao aur ja k baqi sb sy mil lo… (Softly patted his cheek with…) Jao…
Abhijeet nodded and left to meet others while ACP sir smilingly looked towards his younger kid, who giving him a moist smile moved forward and hugged him tightly with "Thank you, sir…"…
ACP sir smilingly patted his back with: Thank to you too Daya… (And completed in slow-whispered tone as…) And sorry too…
Daya uttered restlessly as: Sir please…
ACP sir chuckled softly with: Bs aaj last time kaha hai, promise…
Daya had just tightened his grip around him as a response and after taking few moments to heal each other's old wounds, they moved back and exchanging assuring smiles, Daya moved his gaze around to find Abhijeet present with Lallan and laughing on something so he too left towards them, seeing Rishab and others were also present there…
Soon after meeting with all and then taking those, who could not come there, on video calls, they all enjoyed their dinner there relishing each other's company and finally around 12 of the night, they started leaving one after the other, after thank ACP sir for such care-filled, beautifull time they had spent there…
Finally DUO too stood up, following the other TRIO when…
Abhijeet asked as: Salunkhy sir, aap sir k sath aaye thy yahan tou aap ko hum log drop ker dien gy ab…
Dr. Salunkhy slightly shook his head smilingly with: Thank you bchchy lekin main aaj yahin rukkon ga, tum log jao… (And then looking towards other four too, completed as…) Aur ghar pohanch k bttana, hmm…?
The CID cops, who were nothing more than kids for the elder DUO, chuckled softly while giving him assuring nodes and then bidding bye and wishing them good night, they too left from there, locking the main door behind them…
When seeing the TRIO moving towards their car…
Daya asked in loud casual tone as: Wasey Freddy yeh petrol ka idea ks ka tha…?
Freddy replied in his flow as: Vivek ka… (And the same moment he had realized what the other person had asked and what he replied, resulting he instantly looked towards Daya to find him looking at him wearing stern smile on his face, resulting him turned his gaze towards Vivek who was too shocked to say anything… Gulping down saliva, Freddy again looked towards Daya and then to Abhijeet to find him disconnected, though he could easily tell that he was enjoying all that, when finding his voice back, Freddy said in hurried tone as…) Bb-bohut raat ho gae hai sir, good night…
And he hurried inside his car, followed by the other too, without even waiting for any reply and soon their car vanished from the whole scene, giving DUO chance to let out their held laughs and shaking their heads in disappointment, they too grabbed their seats and drove away from there…
Beach…
Abhijeet did not protest when Daya had turned the driving wheel towards the beach, instead he just enjoyed that journey in which they both remained mostly quiet, listening to each other's silence…
When seeing Daya had parked the vehicle, Abhijeet too moved out from Qualis and DUO in same silence left towards their favourite spot, bare feet and folded jeans, leaving their shoes and socks in the car…
Sitting on the sand and letting the calm waves take away their all worries and give them sooth, DUO closed their eyes inhaling a deep breath… Opening their eyes they kept sitting there like that in silence when…
Daya asked in quiet tone as: Kitna achha lg raha hai na yahan aa k Abhi…?
Abhijeet nodded softly with: Hmm, achha tou lg raha hai bohut, ajeeb sa sakoon milta hai yahan aa k…
Daya said in rather lost tone as: Tumhary sath sath iss sakoon ko bhi bohut miss kia main ny Boss…
Abhijeet looked at him for few moments in silence and then inhaling deeply, asked in fresh tone as: Haan tou aur kya kuchh miss kia sahab ny, list btai jaye mujhy puri…
Daya chuckled softly and then jerking his head to wade off all painfilled memories, he lied down, placing his head on the elder one's folded leg, who smilingly weaved in his head while…
Daya said smilingly as: Yeh miss kia main ny, tumhary sath shopping aur bahir khana miss kia, aur tumhien bohut zada tang kerna miss kia…
Abhijeet chuckled with: Hmm Rishab btta raha tha, hisab ulta ho gaya tha… (Asked him caringly as…) Bohut zada preshan kia na main ny tujhy…?
Daya looked at him disappointedly with: Kya Boss, Rishab ko thori ptta hai kuchh, tum tou kitny cute ho gaye thy… (Chuckled excitedly as…) Sach, main ny kabhi socha bhi nahin tha k mujhy kabhi mairy Boss ka bachpan bhi daikhny ko miley ga, itna adventurous experience tha…
Abhijeet looked at him in anger-filled-shock with: Aby, adventurous experience…?! (Gave a light smack on his head with…) Adventurous experience, haan…?
Daya hiding his smile, tried to change the topic with: Achha chhoro na… (Told him happily as…) Boss ab jb bhi humien zada chhuti mili na, main tumhien Mussoorie ly k jaon ga, wahan aik Pandit jee hain unn sy milwany… (Added in dreamy-smiley tone as…) Uss sb time mein jitni bae-sakooni thi, bhagwan py jitna ghussa tha, sir sy jitni narazgi thi, sb unn sy baat ker k khatam ho gae, jaisy ander aatma tk mein sakoon uttar aaya… (Looked at him with…) Chalo gy na sath…?
Abhijeet bowing over him, placed a soft kiss on his forehead with: Mnna ker sakta hoon kya main wahan jany k liye, hmm…? (Daya just flashed him a sweet smile while Abhijeet added as…) Wasey iss sb ka yeh faida tou bohut achha ho gaya k sahab ki bhagwan jee sy wapis dosti ho gae…
Daya looked at him grumpily with: Mairi hamesha sy hi bhagwan jee sy dosti thi bs itna regular nahin tha mandir jany mein jitna ab ho gaya hoon… (And placing a soft kiss on Abhijeet's hand's backside, concluded smilingly as…) Aur iss ka sb credit mairy Boss ko jata hai…
Abhijeet chuckled disappointedly with: Pagal… (And then while making Daya sit, added as…) Achha chal uth ab, ghar chalien, warna subah late ho jaien gy…
Daya nodded burningly while replying as: Haan, bilkul jaisy aaj ho gaye thy, hai na…?
Abhijeet, who was standing now, glared him with: Ab tu phir sy na shuru ho jaien Daya, subah bohut kaan kha liye tu ny mairy…
Daya while standing, argued as: Haan tou tum apna yeh famous dialogue change kyun nahin ker laity…?
Abhijeet while moving towards the car, followed by the younger one, asked teasingly as: Aur change ker k kya rakhon…? K "Daya sir aap aaram sy, soo soo k hr kaam krien, zada sy zada Bureau sy late hi ho jaien gy na, koe baat nahin, banda hazir hai sahab ki khatir Ravan sy dantt khany k liye"…
Daya while hiding his laugh and trying to sound thoughtful, replied as: Boss, dantt khana bohut old fashioned hai, prade kerwana achha hai, nahin…?
And he looked at him in fake innocence receiving a fuming glare from the other side where…
Abhijeet warned him with: Sudher ja tu Daya, tu subah sy mairi patience check ker raha hai… (Completed in warning-filled-tease as…) Bohut mehnga perny wala hai tujhy yeh adventure…
Daya just made a face with: Filhal tou tumhien mehnga perny wala hai woh contract of revenge kharab kerna…
It took Abhijeet few moments to remember the silly contract, the silly one had made and as DUO had reached near their car, hence…
Abhijeet while opening the passenger side's door, asked casually as: Kya matlab…?
Daya while grabbing his seat, replied as: Matlab yeh k main ny naya contract bnaya hai, aur iss ko tum kharab bhi nahin ker sakty, hunh…
Abhijeet shrugged casually with: Woh tou contract daikh k hi ptta chaly ga…
Daya while reversing the Qualis replied as: Lekin tum iss contract ko sirf suun sakty ho, daikh nahin sakty…
Abhijeet looked at him confusingly with: Matlab…?
Daya glanced over him while telling in proud tone as: Kyun k yeh contract main ny mairy dimagh mein bnaya hai…
Abhijeet while suppressing his laugh, asked in fake innocence as: Matlab k koe contract nahin hai…?
Daya gave him a knitted eyebrows look with: Btaya tou hai, mairy dimagh mein hai contract…
Abhijeet instantly asked innocently as: Lekin tairy paas dimagh hi kahan hai Daya…?
Daya nodded in flow as: Haan woh… (And the same moment realizing what the latter had said, looked at him burningly to find him laughing madly now while he declared loudly as…) Aik number k jealous aur duniya k sb sy kharos insan ho tum… (And seeing him continuously laughing, Daya told him furiously as…) Bilkul na pagal lg rahy ho easey hssty hoye, hunh…
Abhijeet to tease him more, asked him as: Tou tujhy kya takleef hai…? Main lg raha hoon na pagal, lggny dy…
Daya jerked his head frustratedly with: Haan haan, hss lo, hss lo, ab jb rooz mujhy shopping aur bahir khana khilana prry ga na tb pouchhon ga tum sy…
Abhijeet gave him a calm-teasing smile with: Lagta hai sahab aankhien khuli rakh k soo rahy hain tabhi itny suhany sapny daikh rahy hain…
Daya gave him burning look and the story goes on…
