It has been not more than a few weeks when the person standing in front of him had been asking to him to BE THERE for him. When he with no thought in mind stood up with matter what the consequences may come.

Vineet was just silently staring at that face, with the same words still echoing his mind. He was asked to leave. Was it that easy?

You just say get lost and that is it? no! it can't it never can be the case, but in here he was just freezer at the place.

When after a silent gap of two minutes he spoke.

"Aarav aap.. yeh.. "(when Aarav... a person who was constantly hiding his gaze from the person in front looked up at him and continued the same thing.)

Aarav: please Vineet.. jao tum..

Vineet who was feeling dejected shook his head in disapproval and continued with a much better confident tone.

Vineet: kyu? jau mai.. han? (he was having a very fix stare on Aarav)

Aarav: Vineet.. dekho.. (his eyes were not meeting Vineet's eyes, as he was extreme guilty for hurting Vineet) mai nahi chahta mere karan tumhe koi chot pahuchey.. joh pahuch chuki hai

Vineet was just like what?

Vineet (in a shocked tone) aap... aapko lagta hai me.. ye... ye sab.. mai... (then got the point that where is this soul wandering yet till now) seriously aap ye sab soch rahe the"

Aarav just moved his face to the other side.

"Khamoshi thi har kahin"

Vineet: aap... aap uss waqt hosh mai nahi they... (he was saying from the bottom of his heart)

Aarav who was still busy looking to the other side.

"Na lafz the na alfaz"

Aarav still in the same mode answered "janta hun.. par maine bahut galat kiya tum mujhse door raho.. yaha mat aao mere pass... plz chale jaao"

Vineet who was still stating at him was very much moved by the way Aarav was BLAMING his own self .

Vineet: (scolds him) itni...choti baat... (Aarav looks down) aap... itni si baat ke liye aap chahtey hai ki mai nahi aau aapke pass agar main nahi aata na toh aap khudko...aap..

Aarav: aacha hota kam se kam tumhe toh chot nahi lagti... (he gave an instantaneous answer) mere hote... tumhe kuch na kuch toh hona hi hai...

"Har pal tha tumhari uss awazz ka intezaar..."

"Had pal sochta that...dosti mai kaisi jeet or haar"

Vineet: Aarav.. yeh kya bekar ki baatein kar rahe ho tum.. aapne aap ko dosh dena band karo.. samjhe.. uss waqt tum aapne hosh mei nahi they.. wo tum nahi they wo uss drugs..

Aarav who was now pacing down the place came and stopped in front of days

Aarav cut him..: Vineet.. maine tumse ek baar kaha na.. ki tum mere pass mat aao.. toh mat aao.. aajke baad yaha mat aana.. (with a firm stare)

Vineet who was also feeling like shaking this person replied with a same stubborn time

Vineet: aur aapko lagta hai mai aapki baat manunga.. (there was a unknown smirk inside)mai aaunga.. milne zaroor aaunga.

Aarav turned.. Vineet tum.. please.. please... (he was trying to convince this man the way he can)

Vineet: bass (showing hand) aapko jo kehna tha... aapne keh diya aur maine sunliya ab bass main kahunga

Aarav: par..

Vineet: aur tum bass sunoge! (concentration on the last word)

Aarav silent and thinks "mujhse chota hoke mujhe hokum de raha hai aur mai pata nahi kyu baat maan raha hun iski ek baar tek ho jaau.. phir dekhta hun issey

Vineet thinks "yeh toh kamaal ho gaya.. Aarav meri baat maan rahe hai mai unhe inta daant raha hun.. par beta Vineet jab Aarav tek hongey.. toh teri kher nahi"

When his simple smile soon disappears as he gazes at him.

"Waqt kahin bhi badh jaaye..."

"Uska pahiya kahin ruk jaaye..."

"MAin rahunga tumhare saath chahe sara jaahan badal jaaye"

Vineet firstly became total silent and could easily feel the gaze of Aarav soo soon receives the call.

Vineet receives a call.. yes sir.. haan tek hai sir mai aata hun then cuts the call. says to Aarav.. kaam aa gaya mai isliye jaa raha hun mai.. khayal rakhiyega apna

Aarav who realized the situation and smiled at himself. but still nodded with a small smile.

Aarav nods and Vineet leaves Aarav thinks "kaam ke bahane hi sahi.. mujhse door toh rahega... he lied down closing his eyes and drifted into sleep.

A week passed

As this had always been a daily ritual by now when Vineet has to play a key role balancing both the sides at his best and trying not to lose his own balance.

But what was supposed to happen wasn't at all happening. while the rest was happening religiously.

In solute of being and following the instructing Aarav's health was heavily detoriating with his tension and scare increasing with every moment.

When a day. Vineet entered inside the room he found Aarav lying there Vineet looked at Aarav who was much more weak then before his face was so pastel Aarav sensed Vineet's presence he opens his eyes and said "Vineet"

Vineet who was trying not to wake him up shocked.

" aapko kaise pata chala mai aaya hun.. "

Aarav smile a but while trying to get up.

Aarav looked at him.. "tum yaha itne time aatey jaatey ho tumhari halki si aahat se pehchan jaata hun mai tumhe.. aur tumhare aur yaha ke logo ke ilawa aur kaun aa sakta hai..." (his voice was low and weak)

Vineet smiled.. Aarav tried to get up but he failed instead he fall back again.

When Vineet instantly moved towards him.

Vineet scolding him.. "Aarav.. kya jarurat hai uthne ki tumhe kitni baar kahan hai you need rest... kyu karte ho tum ye sab samaz nahi aata mujhe"

While Aarav holding Vineet's hand said in low tone "Vineet please.. baithne.. doh na"

Vineet looked at him helplessly and started to help him with his mind totally concentrating on him.

Vineet helped in sitting.. placing the pillow behind his back there was silence there was nothing left to say.

When Aarav who was feeling a little bit better looked at Vineet and then finally broke that silence with."aaj.. k..uch kahogey nahi.." (having difficulty in speaking)

Vineet who was now staring out of the window said.. "mai kya kahu bureau mei miss karta hun aapko"

Aarav who was indeed expecting something else was now feeling a lot bit easy. then he immediately told Vineet "Vineet"

It was the time.. when Aarav holded Vineet's hand.

"Tum hote ho toh zindagi jhum uthti hai...

"Tumhari kami har pal chubti hai..."

"Laut aao mere dost.."

"Kyuke tuzme...meri puri duniya basti hai"

When Aarav touched Vineet he felt Aarav's hand hot.. Vineet looked at him and tensed.. "kya hua? Aarav.."

Aarav said "mujhe.. please bathroom tak le chalo"

Vineet: haan.. utho.. (Vineet was again feeling scar..it was now a common thing that been a small mishap used to make him feel bad)

Aarav tried to get up.. he was difficult for him but Vineet gave his full support to him he took him inside the washroom.

Aarav entered inside and in a fraction of seconds closing the door he vomited.

Vineet could feel his coughing front the inside.

Vineet thinks "oh god! Bhukar.. ultiya inki haalat toh bhigarti jaa rahi hai..."

Vineet: tek hai aap.. (looking at him and forwarding a napkin as his face was wet as he had washed one)

Aarav nods then he takes him back and make him lay down Aarav denies..

Vineet: aap laith jayie.. mai aapse.. aise bhi baat kar sakta hun..

Aarav who was current not getting what to do just followed as Vineet said. Aarav just layer himself back and had closed his eyes.

Vineet too stood there in silence. he felt now he may doze off.

When he saw something unusual and glanced at something which was oozing down from Aarav's nose.

It was none other than red fluid blood.

Vineet in panic "kkhoon... aapke... naak se khoon..."

"Aarav... nak se khoon abhi staff ko bulata hun" Vineet turned to leave, Aarav holds his hand.

Aarav: nahi.. (nervous and scared) mat bulao unhe...

Scare was all it can be seen in his eyes as he wiped that blood off.

Vineet explained "Aarav.. unhe bulana jaruri hai tumhari nak se khoon nikal raha hai.. tabiyat aur bigad jaayegi"

Aarav: nahi Vineet please mat bulao wo log firse injection dengey mujhe wo itni saari dawai.. aur phir mujhe neend aati hai nahi mujhe nahi sona hai please Vineet mat bulao unhe.. please tum.. aaye toh mujhe tumhare saath rehna hai baat karni hai sona nahi hai koi injection nahi lagwana mujhe please

Vineet eyes were becoming moist the person who was brave enough to take any medicine, injection is now nervous and some kind of fear was there.

To be continued.
