Azlan opened his eyes slowly... He was on his bed sleeping next to Ayan who was cuddling Arhaan...
A few hours ago after all that mess Zayd made them both sleep and went to Zain's room... Arhaan came home from his university an hour later, seeing Azlan and Ayan sleeping together he decided to join...
Azlan stood up and went straight to the bathroom, took a shower and came out after drying his hair...
He walked out of the room and went to Zain's room grabbing an ice pack on his way...
Zain was sleeping in Zayd's embrace who was laying with closed eyes... He opened his eyes when he felt a presence in the room
"Azlan" he said bringing Azlan out of his trance...
"ge baba" he whispered coming closer "Kya hua beta?" he questioned sitting up and making sure to not wake up Zain...
"Kuch nahi bs ice pack laya hun" he mumbled sitting beside Zayd, slowly placing the ice pack on Zain's back who hissed in pain...
Azlan closed his eyes trying to control the urge to cry his heart out knowing that his brother was in pain because of him
Zayd on the other side was feeling sad for three reasons, his son Zain was in pain, second that his older son Azlan was in pain and third, he was missing his wife a lot
She was very good at handling these situations... When she was alive and the kids would get sick she would handle them, and hold them while they got their shots whereas Zayd would sit and cry with the children...
Especially Azlan as he used to be terrified of medical things and would cry at just the mention of injections...
And seeing Azlan cry Zayd would cry with him cause his baby was in pain...
(do you want a flashback?)
But ever since his mama's death, he stopped throwing any tantrums for check-ups or treatment...
Both of them were busy in their thoughts so they did not notice Zain waking up...
He opened his eyes and saw his brother and father in deep thoughts... It took him a few seconds to remind the event of the day
He jerked Azlan's hand and threw the ice pack away, sat up straight bringing both Azlan and Zayd out of their thoughts...
"Zain" Zayd said and Zain looked at him with a small smile...
"ge baba!" he replied softly... "tabyeet thek ha?" he asked creasing his face
"Ge theek ha" he replied and Zayd smiled... "Za... Zain" Azlan called slowly and Zain did not even glance at him, completely ignoring his presence he stood up
"Baba mein apne doston ka sath ja raha hun thori der mein aa jaun ga... Jaun?" he said and waited for Zayd's reply "Theek ha jao but apna dehan rakhna" Zain nodded and left...
"Azlan don't be disheartened mere jaan woh abhi naraz ha usko time do he will be fine... You know he is a softie" he embraced Azlan who started sobbing in his embrace
"he hates me baba... Usko itni zor sa mara mein na" he cried and Zayd creased his hair
"he does not hate you beta he is just angry for the time being usko thora time do woh theek ho jai ga... Use aik bar sorry bol kar to dekho woh man jai ga... But Abhi nahi he is angry and he needs time to get his emotions in control" he comforted and Azlan nodded
In the other room, Arhaan stirred in sleep and woke up as he could not breathe
As he opened his eyes he glared at Ayan who had his arm wrapped around Arhaan's neck not allowing him to breathe
He removed his hand and shook him "Bhai utho" he shouted but Ayan was deep in sleep due to the injection he got...
"Bhaiiiiiii!" he screamed near his ear but frowned seeing him not move at all... He smirked and pinched Ayan's back hard who jumped and yelled in pain as Arhaan pinched him at the exact place where he got the shot...
"Ahhhh babaaaa!" he cried out rubbing his back... Arhaan was startled by his scream he was not expecting him to scream so loudly...
"Sorry! Sorry! Zor sa lagi kiya?" he said in a guilty tone and rubbed Ayan's back who glared at him
"nahi boht halke sa lagi mein to mazak mein cheekh raha hun" he grumbled making a face
"Kya ha gussa kyu ho rahe ho" Arhaan whined pouting
"To aur kya nazar utarun tumhari" he glared at him...
"Jao baat nahi karni mujhay apse" he pouted and Ayan sighed
"Aik to tum maro mujhay aur naraz bhi tum ho, wah gi kya baat ha," he said sarcastically and Arhaan huffed turning around and facing his back to Ayan
Who smiled and pulled him onto his lap kissing his cheek "Kya Hua mere baby ko" he asked and Arhaan snuggled closer
"apka baby sad ha" he said in a very sad voice looking at Ayan with his big doe eyes...
"Kyu kisi na kuch kaha ha kya? Bhai ko batao kis na tang kiya ha mere baby ko abhi uski tangein torta hun" he said in a playful tone but stopped as soon as he saw tears in Arhaan's eyes
"Mama ki yaad aa rahi ha bhai" he whispered and Ayan's heart broke...
Even though Arhaan has not spent time with his mother, but seeing her videos and listening to stories about her, he wishes to have a few memories with her...
"Oh mera bacha mama is right here" he placed his hand on Arhaan's heart...
"In my heart?" he asked like a kid and Ayan nodded with a smile...
"yes she is always here with you wherever you go She watches you but it's just that you cannot see her but woh hamesha apke sath ha mere jaan" he explained softly making Arhaan's eyes sparkle...
"Sachi!" he beamed with happiness... "muchi" Ayna pulled his nose making him frown
"Par bhai mama mujhay chor kar kyu chali gai? You all have memories of her pictures with her but I don't... Kya unko mein pasand nahi tha?" A few tears leaked from his eyes
"Nahi mere jaan she loved you! Bs unka pas koi option nahi tha beta warna woh kabhi hame chor kar na jati... Jab she got to know ka you were gonna be born she was very happy to a point where she fainted with happiness" he told and Arhaan looked at him with wide eyes
"She fainted with happiness?" he questioned with big eyes and Ayan nodded with the same expression
"Han unko khana khana hi bhul gaya tha kushi mein woh bs apne baby ki pic dekhti rahi Sara din" Arhaan giggled at his silly mother
"I love you bhai" he mumbled and Ayan smiled kissing his head
"I love you too bhai ki jaan... Agar Mujhe kabhi kuch ho gaya to don't forget ka bhai loved you more than his life," he said in an emotional voice but was startled when he heard a loud cry...
He looked down just to see Arhaan bawling his eyes out... Before he could process anything Zayd walked in...
"kya ho gaya mere bache" Zayd took Arhaan in his embrace and asked in a worried voice...
"Baba bhai keh rahe hein woh mujhay chor kar chale jein ga" Arhaan sobbed hiding his face in Zayd's neck who glared at Ayan while creasing his head
"nahi beta bhai kabhi kahi nahi jein ga ap ro nahi shh relax" he calmed him down and then took Ayan's ear in a tight grip...
"kya bakwas kar rahe ho?" he glared at him... "ouch baba mazak kar raha tha yaar" he whined
"Aise mazak mar kiya karo kitni bar samjahu" Zayd said in a soft tone as his anger melted when Ayan hugged him...
"Sorry" Ayan mumbled against his chest+
