I rushed out of the conference room, hearing the loud commotion. I was shocked to see him lying unconscious on the floor. I rushed to him and kept his head in my lap. I patted his cheeks...

"Vineet open your eyes. " I said.

I looked around... "What happened here? " I asked.

Noone spoke and this raged me...

"Koi batayega yahan kya hua? "I shouted.

"Mam, Sir was roaming around. By mistake he touched the nude wires and he got unconscious. Maybe wo samajh nahi paaye. " One of the staff member said.

I was raged, more on myself, that I had to leave him alone.

The peon got water and I sprinkled some on his face. He opened his eyes, and closed them again.

"Mujhe yahan dard ho raha hai. " he said keeping his hand on his head.

I made him sit on the couch and made him drink some water. I turned around to my clients when he held my hand...

"Ghar chalo na. " he said kiddishly.

" Han Vineet, bas 10 minute. Fir hum ghar jayenge. " I said.

"Mr. Mehra, aaiye,final discussion karlein. " I said to my client.

"madam aapko lagta hai aap hamare sath kaam kar paayengi? I mean Vineetji ki haalat... unhi ke sath busy rahengi toh kaam kaise karengi? Unhe aapki har pal zarurat hogi. Aise mein loss hi hoga. " he said.

"Well, Mr. Mehra, ye meri problem hai ki main kaise manage karungi. Lekin aap ye bataiye aap deal karenge ya nahi?" I asked firmly.

"Hum deal karna chahte hain. Lekin jo Humne aaj dekha... " he said but I cut him...

"Thanks Mr. Mehra. Aap ja sakte hain. Jab Vineet thik ho jaye tab aaiyega deal karne. " I said angrily.

"I hope he gets fine soon. Kyunki mujhe lagta nahi yeh thik honge. " he said.

Today this guy was speaking against Vineet, forgetting the favors Vineet had done to him. He seemed to takeover the business, but I won't let it go. I will bring him back.

"Mr Mehra, agar aap kisi ke liye Acha nahi soch sakte toh please bura bhi mat sochiye. Infact hamare baare Mein sochiye hi mat. And please jaiye, nahi toh mujhe security ko bulana hoga. " I said firmly and he left.

I turned to my manager and asked him to get reports of all projects at my home. And then I left with Vineet.

I was driving, and I was worried about Vineet. He was again hit on his head. He had pain but he seemed okay. My thoughts were to were broken by him...

"Tum gussa ho? " he asked.

I smiled.. "Nahi toh! "I replied.

"Toh tum wahan gussa kyun kar rahi thi? Aur wo kaun tha.? "he asked.

I smiled as his observation was intact.

" Wo hamare purane dost hai. Wo mujhse kuch keh raha tha, mujhe Acha nahi laga. Isliye maine usey dant diya. " I said.

He nodded his head and was silent. We reached home. I parked the car and we went in. I asked him to change and went to make coffee.

A while later, I moved inside our room. He was sitting on the bed silently. I sat beside him and handed him a cup of coffee. He took the cup.

"Kya hua Vineet? " I asked,maybe he was in pain.

"Dard ho raha hai? " I asked softly.

He denied and stood up. I was surprised as he wasn't a silent person. I kept my hand on his shoulder..

"Kya hua? " I asked again.

"Tum mere liye sabse jhagda mat kiya karo. "he said.

I was surprised at his words...

"Maine kisi se jhagda nahi kiya Vineet. Tumse kisne kaha ye sab? " I asked.

"Tumne Bola tha na tumne dost ko danta. Mujhe toh yaad bhi nahi ki wo kaun hai. " He said.

I sighed...

"Koi baat nahi Vineet. Main hoon na. Main yaad dilaungi tumhe sab. " I said.

"Nahi! Itne din ho gaye. Kuch yaad nahi aata. Tum kehti ho tum meri dost ho bachpan ki. But mujhe yaad nahi. Aur tum sabpe gussa bhi karti ho. "he said, he was also frustrated.

I cupped his face...

" Aisa nahi hai Vineet. Sab thik ho jayega. " I said.

"Nahi, tum bhi chali jao. Sab chale gaye na mujhe chhodkar. Tum bhi chali jao. Koi pyar nahi karta mujhse. Ek din tum bhi chali jaogi. " he shouted.

I was bewildered. I held his hand and made him sit on the bed and cupped his face.

" Jaise tum soch rahe ho waisa nahi hai Vineet. Main hoon na tumhare sath aur hamesha rahungi. Main kahin nahi jaungi. Tumse bahut pyar karti hoon. Hum Milkar sab thik kar denge. " I tried to explain.

His eyes were teary.

" Lekin mujhe kuch yaad nahi rehta. Kyun kar rahi ho apni life barbaad? " he asked.

"Nahi kar rahi main kuch barbaad. Meri zindagi toh tumse hai na. Hum sab thik kar denge. " I said cupping his face.

He looked at me and then finally hugged me. I ruffled his hair and soonish, he was asleep in my arms. I laid him on the bed and covered him with blanket. I pecked his forehead...

"You will be fine Vineet. Tumhe thik hona hi hoga. " I thought and laid beside him.
