But suddenly Arjun felt a strong power in him and with pain and difficulty he stood up....took his gun and fired the attacker....it was impossible to attack when there was smoke every where and the air was unclear but not to him...the best commander....he then checked for Danny and was relieved to see him unconscious...soon his team cleared the mess and apporached him...but Arjun ordered his team to escort Danny to the LPD and he would manage himself but at the same time he collapsed on ground scaring the daylight of his soldiers....
After a few hours Arjun got up and saw his surroundings...."great....again he ended up in hospital....sometimes he thinks that it's his sasural that he always lands up in hospital every second day "
Arjun"how are other soldiers...did anyone get hurt...and did you safely escorted Danny to the police department"
His junior nodded his head thinking how self less his boss is ...he himself is dieing in pain but he doesn't have any care about it
Arjun" ok then arrange for my discharge papers...i have to go HOME...i mean to Diya mansion"
Junior:but sir...u need to stay in hospital for your recovery....you got badly injured on your chest near your heart...it will be very difficult for you to do work on your own
Arjun: it's my order sahil...do as i say...I have come here as singer ...i cannot let my cover blow up...and about my wounds...then I'm habitual to it....have managed myself in more worse situation and will do so again.
Sahil nodded helplessly and went to arrange the discharge papers....
In mansion,
Diya had got a call from Arjun's driver stating his late arrival and apologized for the same and also told her how Arjun had tried to contact her but it was not connecting and told her that he might be late....so they should not bother about him but should keep the house keys for him...
Diya was anxious and sad...the more she wanted to see him...the more delays occurred...but somehow veer convinced Diya to have dinner and they will wait for their 'guest' after that....
So now Diya and veer were waiting for Arjun...unknown of the storm that would surface in the middle of the night....
Soon they heard the horn of a car and got up to greet their 'guest' when suddenly the lights went off and at the same time Arjun entered the mansion...
All of a sudden winds started blowing heavily...the windows started to bang loudly as if the winds were warning them for the storm ahead....
Both veer and Arjun rushed to close the windows and doors and veer rushed towards Diya knowing how much his wife is scared of darkness...
Veer:shhh....it's ok Diya ...you are not alone...I'm there with you always....
Arjun froze in his place....no no....this cannot be happening....maybe he might have mistaken the voice....but no....he would never forget this voice which was with him all through his dark times ...the voice which made his day ...the voice which made him sleep....the voice which called him lovingly....he can never forget this voice...
Just then the lights came and both Diya and veer saw a man standing in front of them but his back was facing him..
Diya: Excuse me....are you Mr Arjun?
This time it was veer who got frozen...was it him...no...no...how can his brother come here....he was very good in studies and always wanted to become a doctor....so how did he become something else...no...no... this can never be him ...his brother would never sacrifice his dreams and passion...and also there are soo many people with the same name...what were the chances of HIM being his kid brother....but then why the hell was his heart beating so fast....
Veer with a trembling voice "Arjun"
Arjun "No...no...he can't turn around...he can't face this...his heart will not be able to take another pain....should he run away without even showing his face....the innocent kid in him would have run into his brother's arms ...the adult him would have ran away like a coward...but the commander in him didn't allow him to run away like a coward....his principles...the soldier in him will never let him go away without facing his fears"
Arjun clenched his hands and slowly..,very slowly....with each passing second....he broke a bit more....but finally he turned himself and faced his brother...the same brother who had fathered him....the same brother who was a God for him....the same brother who left him to the devil...the same brother who had no idea about his pain ..his sufferings...the same brother who once meant the world to him....
While veer's heart clenched with emotions as tears rolled down his eyes....he looked at his wife who's expression mirrored his own....it was true....HE was really here....his brother...his kid....his first and only child was here in front of his eyes....how he wanted for this moment in his life.....to see HIM standing right in front of his eyes....
Both veer and Arjun were high on emotions....one was feeling pain and betrayal while the other was feeling restless and guilty....
Both wanted to hug each other and cry their hearts out...but both of them didn't know how to move forward in each other's direction.....
Tumko dekh ke yoon lagta hai
(Looking at you I feel)
Koi bichda khwab aaya hai
(As if some lost dream has come back)
Barson lambi raat se guzre
(As if we went through a long night of years)
Subah ka jhonka laut aaya hai
(And the morning gust has come back)
Bahut der jaagi
(I was awake for too long)
Bahut door aayi
(I came too far away)
Khwab ne chhodi na meri kalai
(But this dream didn't leave my wrist)
Kab se meri saans ruki thi
(My breath was stuck since so long)
Mujhe saans aayi
(Then I was able to breathe again)
Mujhe saans aayi
(Then I was able to breathe again)
Mujhe saans aayi
(Then I was able to breathe again)
