Rakshak

7. A New Bond

Arjun did not know when he again dozzed off and Ary too slept again due to effect of medicines though he had a good sleep but his medicines were of high power as his condition was not that much good when Aditi checked him and she has also informed the same to Arjun and others. Ary really need support from his family right now as he is still coping up with the fact that he has to live without his parents and that is the main reason which gave Arjun motivation to talk to Ary much openly than he could. Though he was anyways going to talk but he was taking his time which unknowingly was taking toll on both brothers.

Arjun's sleep broke as he got a call from Sakshi. He received it and was talking to her in low voice as Ary was still sleeping.

Phone Conversation

Arjun: Haan Sakshi bolo..

Sakshi: Arjun.. woh tumne call nahi kiya ghar pahunchane ke baad bhi. Sab theek hai na? Aryan theek hai?

Arjun: Nahi Sakshi. He was down with fever. Dar ki wajah se.

Sakshi (tensed): What? Ab kaisa hai woh? Abhi bhi dara hua hai?

Arjun: Relax Sakshi. He is better now. Aditi aur Adi dono aye the to sab handle ho gaya. Abhi fever bhi nahi hai.

Sakshi (relieved): Thank God. Tumhe pata hai main to dar hi gayi thi.

Arjun: Thanks for asking Sakshi.

Sakshi: Arjun.. Tum dhyan rakho Aryan ka. Main rakhti hoon aur yaha ki fikr mat karna we will manage.

Arjun: Hmm.. Thanks again. Bye

Sakshi: Bye

Phone Conversation over

Arjun looked at Ary and caressed his hair once and got freshen up. He asked the staff except Tai to complete their work and go. Tai used to stay there only.

Ary too have woken up and was not much fresher but he was not at all eating anything. Aditi has allowed to have him anything as it was required that he eat properly else he will get weaker. Arjun has tried to coax him but Ary was not eating.

Tai: Aryan baba dekho maine apke liye Daliya banaya hai. Kha lo thoda sa.

Ary: Nahi Tai. Mujhe bhukh nahi hai.

Tai again tried but no luck. Arjun tried to crack a deal with him by allowing him more screen time but his brother was just not ready to eat.

Arjun: Ary.. Thoda to khalo.

Ary: Nahi na Dada mujhe bhukh nahi hai.

Arjun (sternly): Ary..

Sakshi: Bachche ko kyu daant rahe ho?

Arjun and Ary both looked at the door and found Sakshi along with entire ETF team has come there. Both brothers were surprised.

Arjun: Aap sab yaha..

Ayesha: Woh sir Sakshi ne bataya ki Aryan ki tabiyat theek nahi hai to hum log aa gaye milne.

Aryan hold Arjun's hand not because he was scared but he was feeling quite shy in meeting all at once though he has seen them all with Arjun but he really did not know anyone much except Shree who is a techie just like him.

Arjun: Ary.. Sharmao mat.

Sakshi: Ary.. nice nickname.

Ary: Sirf mere apne hi mujhe Ary bulate hai.

Arjun (angrily): Ary.. Yeh kya tarika hai baat karne ka?

Ary flinched.

Sakshi: Arjun.. Tum Aryan ko kyu daant rahe ho? Woh bachcha hai aur usne sirf mujhe bataya ki main uski itni apni nahi hoon ki use Ary bula saku lekin itni apni to hoon na ki uske liye khana la saku.
