Chapter 4:
Daya's eyes fluttered open, the world a blurry mess of colors and shapes. A familiar hand was gently tapping his cheek, a persistent rhythm that slowly brought the world into focus. Abhijeet's concerned face emerged, his eyes wide and filled with relief.
Abhijeet:(concerned): Daya.. Daya! Tu theek hain?
He wrapped Daya in a tight hug, his body shaking slightly. Daya, still dazed and confused, instinctively patted Abhijeet's back, trying to return the gesture.
There was a tightness in his chest, a feeling of disorientation, a nagging sense of something being... off. He felt something hard and rectangular in his hand, clutched tightly. As his fingers traced the smooth surface, recognition dawned. A Walkman,the familiar object rested in his hand. Panic began to claw at his throat. It couldn't be. Could it? He looked around the room, his eyes scanning the familiar yet strangely different setting. The sleek, minimalist furniture, the large flat-screen on the wall, the lack of bulky Bluetooth speaker... it all screamed 2020.
A wave of nausea washed over him. He was back. Back in 2020. He had thought he would be able to spend more time in 2013, spending some more time with Shreya, but yet he was back in few hours better than last time but he is still back this time.
Daya :(whispered with trembling hands): Boss, kaunsa saal hain ye?
Abhijeet still clinging to him, looked at him with concern as his mind wrapped around a thousand thoughts.
Abhi :(whispered with low voice)Ye 2020 hain, tujhe yaha se gaaye hue pure 5 din hogaya hain.
Daya :(clenched Abhi's coat sleeves): Shreya??
Abhijeet lowered his gaze nodding his head in no, indicating that nothing had changed, Shreya was still dead. Daya's heart sank hearing 5 days? He was for nearly 48 Hours in 2013 but the days count in 2020 was different from 2013.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm of emotions raging inside him. He was back and now he knew the way to go back. His gaze landed on the Walkman in his hand. He clutched it tighter, a newfound resolve hardening his gaze and was ready to click on play button when Abhijeet stopped him holding his hand.
Abhi : Waqt mein aage peeche karta rahega to kahi waqt ki paheliyo mein na phas jaaye.
Abhi cautioned while Daya looked at him with a confused expression, Abhi slowly held the walkman from Daya hand and looked at him with taking a sigh.
Abhi : Wapas jaane ka sochne se phele tujhe kuch batana hain,iss waqt chal yaha se.
Daya looked at him, they were the only ones at the bureau. Abhi glanced at the walkman and put it back in his pocket while daya confusingly looked at Abhi back then followed him with hurried expressions.

Daya and Abhijeet were sitting in hotel late at night 12 AM in the night, Daya was eating and Abhi sat across him looking at him with a file in his hand. Daya was lopping back and foth in time that he forgot to have food but he did not felt hungry. Abhi was worried for his friend, worried and concern with reference he found out.
