Old Scars

Viraj saw both ved and vedu peeking in room but he was in no mood to comfort them now. He wanted to talk with vihaan before saying anything to anyone. After half an hour viraj gently woke vihaan.

Viyaan got up and saw viraj.
Viraj: "Aaram se you have slight fever kuch khake sojha. Maine doctor ko bola hai." Vihu's eyes filled up as he remembered what happened downstairs. Viraj held him immediately.

Viraj: "shh...no you are already sick don't cry"

Vihaan: "maine sacchi nahi (hicupped)"

Viraj: "shh...I know baccha I know"

Vidaan still hiccuping "dad, bhaiyu..." cut off.

Viraj: "You don't need to give explainations to amybody, jinhe tujhpe bharosa karna wo kare or jinhe nahi karna wo na kare. Tu chup ho ja warna fever badh jaayega baccha" viraj get up from bed and pick up vihaan, who was so tired to argue or struggle and took him in washroom. "Wash your face" he obeyed viraj them came outside viraj made him drink few sips of water and hugged him but vihaan backed away.

Vihaan: "mujhe fever hai agar aap hug karoge to aap ko bhi ho sakta hai." Viraj eyes filled up even after being sick he was thinking about viraj first

Viraj: "wo virals mai hota hai baccha tu apne deemag pe jyada zor mat dal or baith." Staff comes with a bowl of soup and kept it on table and lefts. Viraj picked the bowl. "Chal abhi soup pi le you haven't ate anything" vihaan peeking in bowl and covered his mouth shaking his head. It was looking gross.

Vihaan: "Mai aisehi thik ho jayunga, mujhe iski zaroort nahi hai"

Viraj: "wo to dikh raha hai, chup chap muh khol." And then there was a knock and their family doctor came inside.

Vihaan: "Aapne inhe kyu bulaya? Aap jao  wapis mai thik hu mujhe koi injection nahi chahiye nahi medicine."

Viraj: "baccha wo nahi denge injection, or medicines"

Vihaan looked at viraj is he thjnking he is 2 who don't know what doctors do? "To kya ye mera haal chal lene or chocolate gift karne aaye hai, agar haa to mai bilkul thik hu or mujhe aap se chocolates nahi chahiye mere pass already hai mai aapke sath share karne ko bhi ready hu. Par aap jao abhi mai kal aapke ghar pe aa ke aunty ko de dunga aap unse le lena."

Viraj palms his face, doctor shook his head he already knew vihaan, won't let him check him.

Viraj: "baccha wo bas check karenge"

Vihaan shook his head, "maina aap ki saari baate manunga, soup bhi pi lunga, or to or haldi wala dudh bhi aap bs inhe bolo ke jaaye. Mai thik hu."

Doctor: "It's okay mr viraj, aap 1-2 ghante dekh lo agar fever nahi utra to mujhe call karna."

Viraj nodded his head and doctor lefts. Vihaan signed in relief.

Viraj: "chal ab ye pi nahi to sacchi mai doctor se bol ke injection dunga tujhe"
Vihaan ate the soup making faces and viraj was controlling him from laughing. "Chal ab so ja" vihaan nodded he was tired and slept.

Time skips to 9 pm.

Vihaan sleep broke up and he was all okay, he was more than surprise to see viraj sleeping besides him carressing his hairs. Vihu gave a quick kiss in viraj's cheek and went to washroom. He remembered how viraj trusted him when none of his family members. He frowned to see a cloth in his forehead bit the He went to washroom after that and came in his room took out his laptop and started watching web series. After hald an hour viraj's sleep broke he saw vihaan with headphones watching laptop. He frowned and takes out headphone and checked vihaan's forehead and signed in relief.

Viraj: "mujhe uthaya kyun nahi?"

Vihaan shrugged "Aisehi. Waise aapne mere forehead pe cloth kyu rkha tha"

Viraj: "Taki tera fever km ho"

Vihaan; "Usse kam ho jaata hai?"

Viraj: "hmm"

Vihaan pouts. And viraj gave him a questioning look.

Vihaan: "Ye baat mujhe kaustub bhaiyu ne kyun nahi batai, or wo khadoos doctor unhe na injection dene mai maza aata hai" viraj didn't said anything then kissed his forehead. Vihaan startled no one ever did this.

Viraj: "Chal, abhi dinner karne chalte hai. " vihaan nodded he was hungry but then he remembered something and looked at clock and his face fell."

Vihaan: "kaustub bhai nahi aaye, mujhe to unke sath jaana tha 4 bhje"

Viraj: "usne call kiya tha, but tujhe fever tha to unhone kaha kll chale jaana" they went downstairs ved and vedu also came. Vihaan was more then amused how his brothers are at home at this time but he shrugged the thoughts and sat to eat and started eating. He was his both bhaiyu's were nudding each other to say something to his bhaiya and his bhaiya was royally ignoring them. He was curious to know what happened.

Ved: "Comon bhaiya maine kya kiya ap vedu ko punish karo na aise baat na kar ke mujhe kyu kar rahe." While vedu looked down guiltily. That's when ved's phone ranged and both ved and vedu tensed up there was a race and promised his friends that they will join. Viraj didn't missed the look on their face.

Vedu: "Hume bahar jaana hai, byy"

Viraj eyes narrowed he called the security. "Make sure aage se ghar ka koi bhi baccha 8 bhje ke baad ghar se bahar na jaaye until and umless mai unke sath hu ya to mene permission di ho."

Ved and vedu eyes widened. And vihaan's face fell he likes to go near Hooghly River and likes to paint sitting there. Viraj saw ved and vedu jaw dropped as well as vihaan. What the hell these boys do late night outside the house.

Ved: "Bhaiya humne friends ko promise."

Viraj: "Enough ved, or kya kaam hai is time koi reasonable reason de mai jaane dunga. 2 din pehle kitni chot lagi thi tujhe." Ved and vedu looks down if they will say anything related to race in front of viraj they will be so dead so they decided to shut their mouth.

After dinner,
Viraj entered vihaan's room and heard him talking on video call.

Vihaan: "Mayara di aapna bhaiyu se baat mat karo, unhone mujhe aj promise kiya tha ke wo le ke jaayenge but unhone promise break kar diya.".

Kaustub: "Sorry bol raha hu na baccha tujhe fever tha to mai kaise le ke jaata."

Vihaan: "mujhe na aapse baat nahi karni last week mujhe fever tha to aapne hi doctor uncle se kaha hoga mujhe injection dene ko."

Kaustub: "tujhe 104 bukhar ho gya tha or bhul mat tune ki kisi ko nahi batayi thi ye baad 2 dino tak to fever to badhega hi"

Vihaan: "haan to aap mujhe punish kar rahe nahi batane k liye, kyu nahi bataya ke forehead pe bss cloth rakhne se fever chala jaata hai"

Kaustub: "Kya bol raha hai ye tu aisa thodi hota hai."

Kriti laughs "baccha forehead pe cloth rkhne se nahi, thande pani se patti karne se."

Vihaan: "haa to wohi kar dete kriti di aap to doctor hona aap ko to ye baat pata hai, wo dragon doctor ko na bss injection dena hota hai." Huffs.

Kaustub: "baccha mai out of station tha mai pattiya kaise karta, waise kisne ki"

Vihaan: "Viraj bhaiya me" kaustub was more than happy to listen this.

vihaan sadly "Vaishu di abhi mai aapke or kritu didu ke sath raat me river ke pass nahi jaa paayunga, bhaiya ne 8 bhje ke baad ghar se nikalne par curfew laga diya hai." Phone bymistakenly fall on bed.

Vaishu: "Tere bhaiya kya jail ke discipliner hai jo unhone keh diya to sabko maanna padega. Don't worry hum unhe bata kar jaayenge. Jab hum wapis aayenge kolkata." Vihaan nodded and they cutted the call he then saw viraj there who now comes inside and vihaan was looking confused seeing him again there.
