Aarav came out Vineet holds his hand and walks towards the entrance of rehab center even Vineet's steps were not so normal they were slow steps too neither is Vineet happy with his decision he was forcing himself to take this decision they entered inside when they heard few voices

The while asylum was seeming to be on some or the other kind of mission...

As if all were searching something.

When they heard. Compounder: mam.. pura center dekh liya par uss aadmi ka kahi pata nahi chala

Vineet who had heard this silently glanced at Aarav, Vneet looked at Aarav.

Aarav immediately lowered his head.

Lady: arey aise kaise koi jaa sakta hai yaha se... darwaja toh lock tha dubara dekho... (shouting angrily)

She seemed to be too very angry as it's her responsibility too.

Compounder said "mam wo khidki ka lock khula hua tha wo shayad wo waha se.."

Lady: ek kaam tek se nahi kartey ho tum log.. tumhari laparwahi ki wajah se bhaag gaya wo.. (shouting at the compounder)

When while feeling frustrated she glance at the front door and her eyes widened.

Then the compounder looked at the door he was surprised.. lady looked at his expressions..

Lady: aise.. kya dekh rahe ho..

She was facing the back to the door so she said with her angry gaze...

Compounder: maam.. wo.. (pointing towards the entrance)

The lady turns, Aarav's grips over Vineet was becoming tightening. He was again feeling that he was again getting trapped...

Vineet said.. Aarav.. mai hun na..

There was firmness in that glance that said a million words...

Aarav nods in yes...

While the lady looked at him unbelievably as she moved towards them.

Lady starts walking towards them.. yeh aapke saath hum inhe kaha kaha dhundh rahe hai.. aacha hua aap inhe yaha lee aaye..

Compounder says.. haan aab tum sab humpe chod doh aap jaao hum log dekh lenge isey

Her tone was enough to scare Aarav well he was someone from whom many scared but currently he was drug addict and the person in front was a rehabilitation center person.

Vineet looks at Aarav..

He instantly gets what's happening inside his head he was no was getting scared.. because the voices of those people were threatening and Aarav was feeling as they will do the same to him like what they had done to that person

Vineet trying to be calm but the scare just frightened him too, Vineet gets angry

He said in a firm tone "aap kya dekh lengey aap log haan? kya dekh lengey? Koi tarika baat karne ka patient se.. aap logo ki aise bartav ki wajah se.. patients.. yaha rehna nahi chahtey"

Then Vineet calms down and talks to Aarav "Aarav.. ab aap aisa kuch mat kijiyega mai aaunga aapse milne.. roj"

Aarav: "promise..?" (like a small kid)

Vineet: haan promise.. aur agar main ahi aa paya toh mai aapko phone karunga..

Aarav nods

Lady: sir.. hum dhyan rakhengey.. (softly and calmed) then she signals comp under to take Aarav in.

Aarav said "nahi.. mujhe nahi jaana inke saath Vineet.. tum chalo na please"

Vineet: Aarav.. mai..

Aarav (pleading him) please

Vineet: tek hai chaliye.. mai aapko chodke aata hun..

And they started walking towards the room both could hear few screams of people which was scaring Aarav more and more and steps of Aarav were very slow.

Vineet thinks "janta hun Aarav... samajh sakta hun aapke darr ko na chahtey hue bhi mujhe aapko yaha chodna padh raha hai". they reached at the door of the room Vineet opened the door and.. both moved inside the room. Vineet made Aarav sat on bed there was a stool present he pulled the stool and sat on it he took Aarav's hand on his hand securely.. to vanish his fear there was an unknown feeling to Aarav he could feel automatically.. his fear reducing he wanted forever Vineet to hold his hand and support him..

Vineet spoke.. "Aarav dekhiye.. aap darna nahi kuch nahi hoga bas kuch din ki toh baat hai jab aap tek ho jayengey to mai khud aapko yaha se leke jaunga ab mai chalu"

Aarav nods, Vineet smiles he gets up and starts to leave before leaving he turns back once again.. comes to Aarav and hugs him with love and concern Aarav too hugged him back somehow tears were present in both eyes, both were unknown.. why were there tears in their eyes?

Vineet separated himself from hug.. aacha ab mai chalta hun.. wiping his tears.

He was just feeling like staying in that hug...so that he stays in that protective shell which is always string no matter whatever happen which ever storms comes across.

When his train of thoughts was stopped by...

Aarav asked "Vineet.. shyam ko aaoge na?"

Vineet nods.. haan aaunga..Aarav just smiled and Vineet leaves.

Soon days passed like feathers, they just passed the same manner Vineet never missed a chance to miss Aarav as he was scared.Aarav might again repeat his run away task whenever Vineet used to come.

Vineet was sitting on the bed Aarav placed his head on his lap and started talking. "Vineet. tum.. aaj late kyu aaye?"

Vineet moving his fingers to his hairs.. "Aarav wo.. aaj na ek bahut hi bada case aaya tha aur bahut time laga case solve kartey kartey isliye late ho gaya... sorry"

His gaze always used to have love for him inspire of him hiding that part. That he used to face whenever he has to lie to acp sir.

"nahi.. koi baat nahi pata hai yaha kitna boring lagta hai mujhe.. ajeeb bhi lagta hai kabhi kabhi itna andhera hota hai na.. ki kuch nahi dikhta mujhe yaha tum kya mere saath yaha nahi reh sakte?" he asked

Vineet was feeling ruthless his eyes were becoming moist.

Vineet spoke.. "nahi Aarav.. mai yaha nahi reh sakta mai samaj sakta hun mai bol dunga inn logo ki yaha andhera na rakhey aap chinta mat kijiye.. jaldi hum jayengey yaha se.."

" tum.. kehtey ho ki jayengey kab jayengey yaha phirse wahi akelapan hai joh Rohan ke aane se pehle tha.. issey toh aacha mai" Aarav said

Vineet said "Aarav.. kya baat kar rahe ho tum.. aisa mat kaho samjhe"

Aarav got up.. sorry..

Vineet asked "Aarav.. aap himaat toh nahi hartey they na toh aab kyu? mai hun na aapke saath"

For the first time after Rohan there was someone who was behaving to be there with him.in all that storm which will leave him.

"haan.." Aarav said, Vineet cuffed his cheeks and said.. sab aacha hoga..

Vineet: aacha ab mai chalta hun kal phir aaunga..

Aarav nods and Vineet leaves.

Next day

It was just a common day but Vineet he wasn't seeming to be common he was feeling much more different he was working in bureau but he was feeling someone is in danger and thinks "yeh kya ho raha hai.. kyu aisa ajeeb sa ehsaas ho raha hai Aarav.. kahi unhe toh koi problem nahi hai mujhe abhi jaana hoga rehab.. haan abhi jaana hoga..."

It was a just a intuition... that's it want at all ..

He informed Purvi.. "Purvi.. mujhe ek jaruri kaam hai mai thodi der mei aata hun.. tum sir ko bata dena.."

Purvi says.. tek hai mai bata dungi sir ko..

She glanced at him and sees him leaving feeling many things inside...

And several unanswered questions...

And Vineet moves... taking his bike.. he reached rehab as soon as possible...

he entered inside and went towards Aarav's room he could hear some noises from inside. Vineet was tensed he entered inside Aarav's room and was shocked.. to see the scenario.

As it hadn't been Aarav room ever from where they would hear this all.

Voice: sunna nahi tumne maine kya kaha.. (shouting).. mujhe drugs doh..

Compounder: nahi.. aapko hum nahi dengey..

Aarav who was sweating badly he was in full anger he was holding something sharp in his hand.

It was the same situation the same scenario but this time he wasn't at his home.

Vineet moved forwards when Aarav said.. pass.. mat aana mere warna mai marr dunga khudko placing the sharp object only few centimeter away from his wrist Vineet stopped immediately.

Vineet: tek hai.. aap ussey hatayie...

Aarav: nahi.. (shouting) mujhe drugs doh pehle

The situation was seeming to go out of controlled.

Vineet moved forward.. Aarav.. meri baat suniye.. lag jayega aapko..

Today he was regretting that why he had giving it back to him that day.

Aarav: tumhe sunayi nahi deta ek baar... (shouted at him)

But Vineet slowly moving and managed to hold Aarav's hand and was trying to drop the sharp object form his hand.

Aarav: chodo mera haath...Aarav was just being very harsh in his movement and making his possible efforts to get free.

Vineet: Aarav.. tum chodo issey...

But Aarav was not ready to leave it Aarav with his effort freed his hand and he attacked Vineet "ahh" came from his mouth.

Listening to this "ahh" Aarav gains back his senses he looks at injured Vineet, he tried to touch him but his eyes were closing losing his senses Vineet holds him.

In care and concern tone.. Aarav.. aakhein kholo.. but went in vain he made him lay down on bed doctor gave Aarav some injection.

Doctor: ghabrayie mat kuch der mei hosh aa jayega inhe..

Vineet nods he was feeling pain in his hand.

"arrey aapko toh chot lagi hai.. layie mei aapki dressing kar deta hun" Doctor does the dressing of Vineet and leaves.

Vineet thinks "4 din se.. bilkul tek they aur aaj aachank itna gussa itni demand ki khudko nuksan pahuchane chale they"

He was just getting that why?

Why is he doing all this?

Vineet was waiting Aarav to gain his senses Vineet was holding Aarav's hand and sitting staring at Aarav's face after an hour Aarav opened his eyes he tried to recall what happened few hours ago and all was in front of his eyes.

Vineet called.. Aarav..

The voice was familiar Aarav turned to him looked at Vineet's hand and immediately left it. Vineet was stunned at this Aarav tried to get up Vineet forwarded his hands to give him support but Aarav did not let Vineet touch him.

Vineet was bewildered with Aarav's behavior...

Vineet: Aarav..

Aarav: Vineet.. tum.. please.. jao yaha se.. Aarav was avoiding his gaze as well all tears that had swelled up

Vineet was shocked the person who was asking him to stay here is asking now to leave

Vineet composing himself spoke with... "Aarav aap.. yeh"

Aarav: please Vineet.. jao tum.. (his tone was loud... but Vineet could hear that what was in that heart.

"kyu? jau mai.." he asked

" please hai! bass... leave!" Aarav shouted.

To be continued.
