PRAHAR

"It hurts so much Bhai sa. Am on the verge of giving up on the facade of being strong, enduring everything come what may........help me bhai sa"

"Hey little one ....... stop crying......jab hume pata hota hai ki cheezen tut chuki hai toh unhe jodne ka kosish kar ke samay barbaad nhi karna chahiye.........rather we should invest our time in creating new things which will be worth having in this lifetime"

"You were always the wise one" Abhidnya said while wiping her tears

"And you are like always the shrewdest one" Abhimaan taunted without giving a second glance to Abhidnya he dragged Kartavya inside along with him and Abhidnya silently followed both of them.

INSIDE THE CAR

"Bhabi ma ne apna baccha kho diya Siya......esi bhi kya dusmani? ........ kis baat ka jealousy, greed, envy......ki aap ek bache ko mar dalo without any fucking regret" Yuvraj banged the steering wheel .

"Yuvi calm down please" Siya tried to calm Yuvraj. She never in her life has seen Yuvraj this angry.

"Calm down keh rahi ho tum Siya?.......the way bhai described the scenes that bhabi ma went through is heinous. Only by hearing I got so much agitated think about bhabi ma who actually suffered and think about the stoned humans who didn't even flinch before committing this........arey ek baar ko toh mein maaf kar bhi deta yeh soch kar ki unhe pata nhi tha par they did it even after getting confirmation that she is pregnant" Yuvraj said in full rage

"Sara gussa inn logon pe kyu uttar rahe ho?..........galti Jin Jin logon ne Kari hai unn sabko saza milna chahiye na toh phir yeh partiality kyu?" Siya said

"Kya matlab hai tumhara?" Yuvraj asked

"Mera matlab saaf hai Yuvi......even your mom is a culprit. Agar woh chahti toh tumhe bhabi ma ke saath bhej sakti thi par unhone waisa nhi kiya........kis baat ki dushmani? Kis baat ka itna jealousy ki unhone tumhe Jane nhi diya, kis baat ka itna greed ki Kartavya Bhai sa se company ka position chhin ne ke baad bhi unki laalsa kam nhi ho rahi, kis baat ki itni envy ki Kartavya Bhai sa aur Geetanjali bhabi ma ko ek aankh se bhi nhi dekhti...........saza pura bara bari ki hona chahiye Yuvi...." Siya voiced out her reasons

Yuvraj took a deep breath, understanding her words deeply and pondering over his next step.

IN THE BASEMENT

Geetanjali was sitting between Abhimaan and Adhavan while Abhidnya was sitting beside Adhavan.

In front of them was a boxing ring and a lot of crowd was surrounding the ring from other three sides.

Geetanjali was a little bit uncomfortable looking at the crowd while at the same time she was searching for Kartavya.

There was only one seat left beside Abhidnya which is now occupied by Abhimanyu.

"Hi pretty little bird" Abhimanyu lovingly pinched Abhidnya's nose, in return she giggled and greeted back "hi Bhai sa........it's been long time"

"Hmmm seconded.........I have asked your grumpy husband a lot of time to bring you with him but you know he is......uhm uhm" he faked cough towards the end

Abhidnya grinned but as soon as her eyes landed on Adhavan, her grin turned into a subtle smile. When Abhidnya wasn't noticing Abhimanyu winked at Adhavan who gave him a smirked in return.

"Abhimaan Bhai sa, Kartavya ji kahan gaye?.......aur unke liye toh jagah bhi nhi hai phir kahan baithenge woh?" Geetanjali asked being confused with the seating arrangement
