The Royal Siblings

Chapter 55

"Toh tum log uska antim sanskar kar ke aaye?" Prashant asked.

"Haan. Bhai wanted to do everything for her. Uske antim sanskar thik se hue. He was adamant.. Technically she was a widow par bhai ne uske antim sanskar suhagan jaise kiye with red saree and jewellery and everything" Sumedh told.

"Understandable" Ritesh said.

"Ganpati utsav ka kya?" Nikita asked.

"Bhai kisi utsav ke mood me nahi hoga" Sumedh said "Par ghar me kya batayenge ki bhai is mourning toh utsav cancel kar do?"

"It's been a week Sumedh. Hum pune aa gaye wo Mumbai chale gaye iss baat ko ek hapta ho gaya hai. He's alone since a week. Din bhar unhe message karte rehte hai hum.. Reply nahi aata toh dimag me kaise kaise khayal aate hai" Nikita said.

"That's why.. Main nahi chahta hoo ki utsav cancel ho. Bhai ko cheer up karne ki jaroorat hai" Sumedh said.

"Yeh bhi sahi hai" Radha said "He needs to get out of it"

"Aur parth bhai ka kya? Wo aa rahe hai?" Nikita asked.

"Nahi. He says Nadia bhabhi doesn't want to" Sumedh told "Besides, he's scared of aajoba"

Nikita sighed "I thought sabse milna ho jayega unka. Ek baar wapis try karo na. Your mother will feel good. Dada ko bhi accha lagega"

Sumedh nodded "Fine"

Sumedh picked up his phone to call Parth when he saw Agastya entering in house.

"Bhai?" He was shocked.

Agastya was there with his luggage.

"It's.. I am so happy to see you" Nikita stood up.

Agastya smiled "I am moving back here. It's a gonna be a trouble in your little paradise but still"

Everyone was elated.

"It's no trouble" Nikita went ahead "I am so happy. You're back and you're smiling"

"Bhaii.." Sumedh didn't know what to say.

"It's okay. I am okay" Agastya said "I am happy because everything is okay"

Nikita and Sumedh both weren't sure but he was looking happy, like he used to be. Back then he seemed happy but he wasn't. What if he still isn't?

Agastya went in his room and everyone looked at each other.

"Is he fine?" Prashant asked.

"May be he is. He's a firm believer you know. Ho sakta hai ki uska bharosa ho gaya ho ki ab Neha khush hai aur isliye yeh bhi khush hona chahta ho" Sumedh said.

"Aisa ho sakta hai" Nikita said.

"Agar aisa hua hai toh bahot acchi baat hai. Isha ko phone karo aur yaha bulao" Sumedh excitedly said "Kal hi hum log nikalenge Wardhangarh ke liye"

Isha was studying when her phone beeped. It was a message from Agastya. Isha widened her eyes. He was texting her after a long time.

'Hi'

'Hey' She replied

'I am in Pune'

Isha was shocked. He was back? Or was he just here to visit everyone?

'I am back. I will be staying here' He texted as if he read her mind.

'That's great. What about the hospital?'

'I'll tell you when we meet. Can you meet me?'
