Ting Tong

The bell rang, Disha opened the door. She looked at the visitor and smiled.

Disha lovingly: Kesy ho Jay beta, kahan thy itny din...

Jay respectfully: Mai theek hun Auntie... bs hum Dehra-dun gaye huye thy, mery cousin ki Shaadi thi... phir wahin pe chutiyan guzari hain, kl hi wapis aya hun to aaj aap logo sy milny aa gaya... (Looking here and there) yeh Daya kahan hai? Mai pehly ground pr gaya tha socha tha Daya wahin milly ga football ki practice krty huye, jb Daya wahan nahi mila to mai yaha aa gaya...

Disha signalled towards the room: Daya apny room mai hai... aj kl bahir km jaata hai... tbiet theek nahi uski...

Jay in worry: kya hua?

Disha sighed: doctor keh rhy thy weakness hai zyada stress body pr dalny ki wajah sy...

Jay nodded his head in yes: theek hai... mai jaata hun usky pass... (Disha just gave a slight nod to him and closed the main door behind his back)

Jay entered inside Daya's room and saw him lying over his bed with a book in his hand: hey buddy... (Jay gave a high-five to him to which he reciprocated) Kesa hai?

Daya replied smilingly: Mai theek hun, mjhe kya hua hai? Tu kesa hai...

Jay: mai bhi theek hun... tu bata... Auntie keh rhi thi k aj kl kuch tbiet kharab hai teri? Tuny mjhe bataya bhi nahi?

Daya waived off his worry: Mai theek hun yaar, bs Mumma or Abhi zyada hi pareshan ho jaaty hain mjhe ly k... Even doctor bhi yahi keh raha tha... lekin tjhy to pata hai Bhai kitni care krta hai meri... wo to doctor sy lar kr bhi aaya hai abhi do din pehly...

Jay also said in worry: Haan to Abhijeet bhaiya ny theek kiya na... agar doctor keh raha hai k koi problem nahi to tu theek kyun nahi ho raha?

Daya irritatingly: ab tum mat shuru ho jana... (excitingly) chal wo sb chor, Abhi ny mjhe naya PlayStation dilaya hai... (leaving bed with) aa ja khelty hain...

Jay followed him: kon kon si games hain... FIFA khelunga mai...

Daya nodded and arranged the PlayStation. It took more than the required time. Disha saw them playing from the kitchen and prepared snacks for them. They were playing and laughing. Disha smiled looking at them as it felt like she saw her baby laughing after a long time.

Jay elbowing Daya: Daya theek sy goal krna warna haar jayein gy hum... (at the same time having snacks)

Daya nodded. But still, they lost the match. It was like Daya's hands were not as flexible as they were. His fingers showed signs of dexterity, his fingers were not able to handle the game console like he used to do.

Jay angrily : sb teri wajah sy hua hai... tu theek sy khail hi nahi raha tha...

Daya argued: mai bilkul theek sy khail raha tha... (resetting the game) chal phir sy khelty hain...

They again started the match but the results were the same. They lost again and again. In the end, Jay frustratingly threw the game console on the sofa.

Jay frustratingly: maine nahi khelna ab... esa lag raha hai tu khailna hi bhool gaya hai...

Daya rubbed his face: chor game hum Movie dekhty hain...

Jay sided with him: chal laga koi achi Movie...

Daya nodded. He prepared for Movie, it was taking him longer than required.
