AN: This story is set back during the epi "Abhijeet ki maa"

Mumbai; CID Bureau

The room was painted with bright shades of colors & was decorated with some posters of eateries & beverages, the window slits were decorated & full with hoards of picture frames of every event celebrated that was celebrated with great enthusiasm by the officers, towards the opposite side lied the food counter where daya was spotted numerous times waiting for his extra big happy meal or treats; on such a lively place one man was sitting idly at the corner most table of the room which was next to the window panel. He was looking completely exhausted, sad, shocked with some amount of sadness.. his state of mind can be just read out from his overall gestures, from the last few mins he was staring blankly at the cup & just stirring the spoon in it, unaware of the fact that the content in the cup had already turned cold just like an ice, but it seemed that the person really don't care about it, he was just lost in his own thoughts atleast his blank stare was told so also the slumped shoulders indicated that he was very much depressed or heart broken..

When the other person was just wandered off in his thoughts, a heft looking man entered the room, he moved his gaze throughout the room & broke in a smile when he noticed him, he quickly headed towards him, without asking the other's permission he got seated to the opposite chair waiting for the person to notice him, finally after some mins the other one moved his eyes to the person seated in front of him & smiling, though he had realized much more earlier his presence but it took him some time to compose his emotions before facing the another one, though he knew that there was no point in hiding his emotions from him, coz its practically impossible to hide anything from him. Knowing him from the last 17 years , he was confident on the fact that he can even deduce from his breathing that something is wrong or something is bothering him..

Finally unable to hold his silent stare on him,he dropped the spoon on the saucer harshly & cried out, " daya ..For god sake..stop staring at me !"

Daya smiled at him & replied him back with a sarcastic tone, "ohh thank god, you are alive..I thought I was staring at a dead body.."

Abhijeet knew that daya just cared about him & hence he is there, but at this moment he just want to live alone, so he begged daya to live him alone, but even daya was adamant he didn't even moved an inch..

Abhijeet knew daya & he was sure that he is not going to leave him alone..actually even Abhijeet wanted daya to be with him, to comfort him, but he was too much to accept this..

Daya looked at Abhijeet who was still stirring the content in the cup, daya nodded & pulled the cup & started walking towards the counter to get new hot coffee for both of them,after some secs he arrived to see Abhjeet sitting the same like some secs before, he placed his cup in front of him & signaled him to drink before it gets once again cold & he sat once again his own chair, sipping the coffee, Abhijeet who was still not recovered gulped down the coffee just to realize that it was too hot, instantly he kept the cup aside & started waving his hand in front of his mouth & blowing air from his mouth to sooth him from the burning sensation, daya slapped his forehead at Abhijeet's act.

Daya: ek hi sip main khatam karne keliye nhi bola tha..aram se..

Abhijeet just nodded..after some soothing he carefully finished the coffee. Daya watched him,actually waiting for him to initiate the talk, but seeing Abhijeet taking too much off time, daya himself decided to kick off with the topic..

Daya : so Abhijeet, kab tak uss bare main soch the rahoge? (he asked him straight looking in his eyes, without wasting any time; Although Abhijeet knew what daya was talking, but still he managed to maintain a poker face behaving as if he don't know what daya was talking )

Abhijeet: Daya kiss baremain baat kar rahe ho tum?mujh samjh nhi aaraha..

Daya: com'on Abhijeet, tum mujhse kab se jhoot bolne lage?

Abhijeet protested: dekho daya tum—(but he was cut off by daya in middle)

Daya:Don't act smart Abhijeet( daya warned him) atleast not with me..(he placed his one hand on Abhijeet's hand which was fidgeting with the mobile unnecessarily) Abhijeet (his tone was much more soft now) Abhijeet, I know tum uss baat keliye khud ko jimmedar manto ho..but trust me, tumhari koi galati nhi hain..

( Abhijeet moved daya's hand roughly & got up from his chair with a force, the intensity of his action was quite high, to such that the chair almost tripped & fell back)

Abhijeet (shouted in anger) nhi daya..iss sab main meri hi galti hain..iss sab keliye agar koi jimmedar hain toh who main huin..mere jaisa insaan ko aapne iss gunah keliye kabhi maafi nhi milegi..kabhi nhi..(daya tried to calm him down by placing his hand on his shoulder ..)

Daya: dekho Abhijeet, uss baat ko ab kaafi saal beat chuke hain..16 years..long time..uss baat ko bhulane main hi bhalai hain..aur waise bhi Abhijeet baar baar bête huwe jakhmon ko kuredhne ka kya faida?

Abhijeet: main janta huin daya ki uss baat ko 16 saal bête chuke hain..par main kya karu daya? Yeh baat mere dimag se chakar bhi nhi hat sakti hain..main janta huin ki poorane jhakmon ko kuredhne se koi fayda nhi hota..par daya sach baat tho yeh hain ki yeh jhakam hi hain joh itne saal betkar bhi bharne ka naam nhi lete..(while saying this a tear escaped from Abhijeet's eye..) pata nhi daya..par lagta hain ki yeh jhakam zindagi bhar mujhe tadpate rahenge..har min..har sec..uss darnak sachai ki yaad dilayenge, jisse saalon pehle main thukraya tha..kash daya..kash..ki main uss ghatna ko badal pata..kash main who baat maan leta, tho aaj mujhe iss bojh ko lekar jena na padta..kash Daya ki main aapni maa ko pehchan ..

(& Abhijeet crashed on the floors..daya also sat next to him, though daya was the one who was quiet emotional & sentimental..but at this moment he decided to be strong, restricting his emotions..he looked at Abhijeet, whose eyes were swelled up & filled with tears,guilt, anger..daya was quite shocked to see him like this..After all he was abhijeet, the one who never vent out his feelings..but at the same time daya was also happy that Abhijeet is expressing himself..venting out all the anger,guilt, he was carrying from so many years..which he never expressed..but today he was just venting out..what kept Abhijeet silent so years & venting this all of sudden? The answer was simple..yesterday morning, a case was reported in bureau, CID got a call from City Hospital informing them that they had found one elderly woman, which was injured & was discovered on an abandoned road, when CID team reached hospital the woman recognized Abhijeet & called him "beta" & started addressing him as her son..Abhijeet was quiet shocked about the whole incident & emotional too when he remembered about his mother..to worsen the condition Acp asked Abhijeet to stay with the lady & even asked him to take care of her by taking her to his home..it took only some secs for Abhijeet to get attached to her, her love & her care made him remember the old woman who was claiming to be his own mother, but sadly he failed to recognize her, & she died due to shock..Abhijeet indeed felt sad after that, he used to curse him & held him responsible for death of his own mother..& this used to haunt him like a nightmare every now & then..

The unexpected arrival of this lady made him realize all these things once again & he started feeling guilty..once again he realized that he was the cause of his mother's death..these realization made him angry & depressed..he started to be in his own thoughts, daya realized this & he decided that he would comfort him about this..now daya was just trying his best to comfort his buddy..)

Daya got hold of Abhijeet by holding him firmly by his shoulders & made him look straight in his eyes..

Daya: Abhijeet dekho mere pass (but Abhijeet was still looking at the ground, trying to have an eye contact with him, daya once again called out his name in concern) Abhijeet..(this time Abhijeet looked at him..) dekho Abhijeet joh lamha bit gaye who bit gaye, use na tum badal sakte ho na main..in fact koi nhi badal sakta..jiss lamhe ko hum badal hi nhi sakte, uss par aanssu bahake kya faida? Joh hona hota hain use koi tal nhi sakta..tho behetar yahi hain na ki hum uss badal ko aapna le,use ke saath kanhde se kandha milakar jnidagi bitaye..naa ki uss par socke aur aapne aapko galat theraiye..agar beeti huwi baton ke baremain hi sochte rahoge toh aapne aanewale kal aur aaj ke palon ko kho dego..inn palon ko jiyon Abhijeet..warna baad main inn palon par bhi pachatana padega tumhe..

(Abhijeet understood, & he just hugged daya tightly at that instant without letting out any word..)

Abhijeet: theek kaha daya tumne..I'm sorry daya..mujhe maaf kar do..sorry..

Daya (patted his shoulders..) wasie boss..gala dabake marne ka irada hain? (he asked teasingly to lighten the situation..)

Abhijeet separated from the hug & smacked his shoulders..

Abhijeet: daya ke bache sudhar jaa..warna bohaut pachtayega..

(daya was quiet relieved to get his buddy back..)

Abhijeet quickly rubbed his face & cleared the tears & got up, daya also got up..

Daya: (handed him the napkin) Boss, theek se chehra pochn do..warna sab ko lagega ki tum mere saath rehke sentimental fool hogaye..aur

Abhijeet: aur kya?

Daya: aur ACP sir bureau main 2 sentimental fool afford nhi kar payenge..(& he started smiling..daya's smiling was so infectious that Abhijeet also started smiling..)

Finally after composing Abhijeet & daya moved out from the CID cafeteria & started moving towards the parking lot to heads towards their home…

Daya: jaldi chalo Abhijeet, ghar pain maa intejar kar rahi hogi..

When daya remembered something, he stopped in tracks & turned to face Abhijeet,

Daya: wasie Abhijeet..

Abhijeet: kya?

Daya: agar maa ne pooch liya ki tum itne udass kyu lag rahe the..tho batana ki..

Abhijeet: ki?

Daya: (teasingly) ki Aaj lab main unnki bahu se mulakat nhi huin na, issliye unnke bête udass hain..(& he started smiling..)

Abhijeet: daya ke bache ruk tu..

(& they started heading towards there quails launghing..heading finally towards there home..)
