In just a moment many things came back to the square one. Sai felt the same she felt on the day she first came to Nagpur. Even though the disconnectedly collected souls Sai and Virat were at the two different corners of the city, in their respective home, but the feelings; agitation, melancholy, anxiousness were all mutual. Both of them kept turning the sides on the bed till the bright rays of Sun dazzled their eyes.

With their loaded hearts; the same they once felt, they got ready to get busy with their daily lives. The stress burster stairs were making her stressful today. Her subconscious self was still wanting to see that smile while her wounded angry self was wishing not to see his face. On the other side he too was feeling uneasy to face her. Though his mind was shouting at him to avoid meeting her but he surrendered to his restless heart.

Sai was slower on stairs than usual days he was in front of him. They were trying to avoid an eye contact but they couldn't resist to get a glimpse of each other. "Hi" Virat said with a smile. His smile wasn't bright like other days. Sai could sense that too.

"Bye" Sai formally replied and walked to his home. Virat felt shattered in a moment

"Though I can still use my lifeline and make you listen to me but I won't do that. I will wait for you to understand my intentions. I only wished to bring smile on your face" he said. Sai kept walking without giving any reply.

A week passed; it was getting hard for Virat to handle her silence much harder than handling her anger. He was finding her anger way more beautiful than dread silence. People around him can feel the sadness he was carrying behind his unnecessary smiles. He might have left everything on time. But Mohit could no longer let his brother dive into the same gloomy sea. He decided to take matter in his hands though Virat has strictly warned him not to.

Without telling Virat and Sunny he decided to meet Sai.

It was Sunday morning; Sai was watering her plants while thinking to hunt for new places. She heard footsteps approaching to her she lighted up hoping to someone's face, whom she didn't want to meet.

"Hello" Mohit greeted

"Are you searching for anyone? It's the last floor" Sai replied

"You are Sai Joshi, right? I am here to meet you. We have met before" Mohit said

"Oh yes, you are that theatre guy? But how did you come here?" she shockingly said

"Just relax. I am not here to cause any problem." He assured

"How did you know I live here? Who gave you, my address? I will have to call for the security" she warned

"You can call the police as well provided you call the best cop of the city; My brother" he joked

"What nonsense? What do you want?" she irked

"Please relax I am here to tell you something about Virat Chavan"

"Virat sir? How do you know him?" she asked, shockingly

"I am his younger brother" he disclosed

"Why did he send you here? What else is he hiding?" she frustratingly said

"He hasn't. I came here by myself. If he comes to know about it I am surely going to be beaten" he said

"Why are you here then?" she confusingly asked

"To ask for forgiveness for my brother. He only wanted to give comfort to you. I have seen his efforts. I have seen his sleepless nights he used to walk all night just to think of a way to do something for you. On one side he used to blame himself for your father's death while on the other the helplessness that he couldn't help you was killing him. He used to spend hours walking in front of your old house. It was only when you started talking to him, he started living again. I know it was very wrong of him to hide the truth from you. It's justified for you to get angry but don't neglect the efforts he has taken. It was all his genuine care for you. Each and every furniture, kitchen utensils even the lamps he picked everything personally according to your taste. The plants that you were watering, he woke me up at 5 just to find the similar pots you used to have in your house in Gadchiroli." He shared
