THE GOLDEN DAYS

They were sleeping, very comfortable in the lap of the dark night when they heard the familiar sweet cry of their son, Tarika opened her eyes in a jiffy and got up to see her husband already to the door, he looked back and smiled in a way she was now very accustomed to, the "mein dekhta hu" smile and emotion!

Tarika hit the bed back and Abhijeet went into his most precious little son's nursery,, and then to the crib where the 9 month old son of "senior inspector Abhijeet" and "dr Tarika" slept and was now crying.

And sooner than later the little prince was in his father's arms, and as soon as he was he stopped crying, Abhijeet knew why he was crying, he was just as good as Tarika in understanding his son's needs.

He took luv to the kitchen and started preparing some hot milk for him. As he did so he did not put down luv even for a moment.

He pored the milk into the bottle, checked if the milk was not too hot and then tried feeding him, but he would just keep moving his head the other way refusing to drink the milk, this was enough for Abhijeet to know that it was NOT hunger that made his best friend's champ cry in the middle of the night.

He took luv back to his room, he tried his best to put luv to bed but he just did not want to sleep, the secnd Abhijeet would put him into bed, luv would start crying, after a lotta thought, abhijeet put him on the chair that Shreya had bought for luv, a very cute little support chair for him. Abhijeet sat across him and said, " okay champ what is up?" like luv would start telling Abhijeet "what was up". Ofcourse luv did not say anything, he just kept looking at his father.

Abhijeet sighed" I am fine….."

He said as luv just kept staring at him. Luv knitted his eyebrows.

Abhijeet sighed again, it was funny how Abhijeet talked to luv about his day, every day, he listened, just listened, like he understood, like he cared, many did, but the connecttuion Abhijeet had felt, he never knew being a father was this ….. beautiful?perfect?satisfying?

He went closer to the chair and sat right under luv's nose," I freaked out", he started," aaj jab mujhe almost goli lagi,I freaked out, mein ….mein…mein..mein daar gaya" he said closing his eyes.

" mujhe kuch ho gaya toh tumhara kya hoga? Tarika ka kya hoga, agar mein na rahu toh tumhe cricket kon sikhayega, cycle chala na kon sikheyga, tumhe kon guide karega?" "I am mad right? I mean yeh saab toh tarika bhi…."

He got up and picked up luv, " you know luv, mere jindagi mein tumhari mom n tumhare pehele sirf ek hi jine ka reason tha, cid…jeena aur marna uske liye. Par aab tum ho, tumhari mom hai, n suddenly I m scared of death….." he smiled.

Luv clunked on to abhijeet's finger and Abhijeet looked at him and found him smiling.

"I have the best son huh?" he said smiling genuinely.

Abhijeet smiled and said: luv, agar mujhe kuch ho jaye na? toh please mujhe yaad rakhna, please meri majboori ko samajh na, mujhse bhi ache citizen banana, chahe kuch bhi profession lo, bas ek sahi insaan banana mat bhulna.

He waited for luv's reply, but he just stared back.

abhijeet cont:Yeh duniya bohot buri hai, bohot kali hai, lekin yaad rakhna ki yeh ristey, pyaar, yeh saab jidagi mein raan gholte hai. Toh kabhi inn ristoko paiso mein maat tolna, apni jindagi ka achha use karna, kabhi kuch esa maat karna kit um apne aap ko hi mirror mein na dekh pao, aur hain kabhi kisi ko dard mat dena, anjan mein bhi kisika esa maajak maat karna ki use jindagi bhar yeh majak chubhe, yaa fir….

Abhijeet looked at luv who was about to sleep: luv bas mujhe bhulna nahi, apne iss papa ko humesha pyaar karna, chahe kuch bhi ho, kuch bhi…..

He said as a tear slipped from his eyes, and landed on luv's palm that was clutched to abhijeet's t-shirt.

Abhijeet knew that luv had fallen asleep so he took luv to his crib and lowered him in but he would not let go of abhijeet's shirt…..

Tarika opened her eyes to the cutest sight-

Luv sleeping between her and Abhijeet, closer to Abhijeet, and abhijeet's hand rest protectively over his son, and luv had his father's pinky finger clenched in his whole hand, like Abhijeet being there was sooooooooooooo important to him….., both had the cutest smile on their faces, the dreamy smile.

Tarika did not waste a second and took a picture of them and sent it to the whole team. And then kept staring at the amazing little father-son duo!
