Sid: Mom please. Aese matt bolo

Vibha: Jaoo sab apne apne kaam par. Meri kisko padi hai. Jab marr jaoongi na tab kadar pata chalegi ma ki

She said picking up the dirty utensils and leaving towards the kitchen.

Sid: Dad

He whined.

Ram: Mera ho gya. Mein nikalta hu

Sid: Papa aap aese nhi jaa sakte. Baat karo mom se

Ram sighed.

Ram: Mein na tere saath hu

He said pressing his shoulder.

Ram: Lekin dekh beta mein iss baare mein kuch nhi kar sakta. Tu jaakar uss ladki sa mil aa. Agar achhi lage to theek hai nhi to na to teri taraf se hai hi. Faaltu mein kyu apni maa se panga le raha hai

He left the breakfast table. Sid turned towards Zalak like an innocent child.

Sid: Didi

Zalak: Aha didi? Wo kya hota hai? Jo itni pehle izzat de raha tha abhi uska kya hua?

Sid: Didi please. I am sorry. Mujhe aese baat nhi karni chahie thi aapse. Mujhse galti ho gayi

Zalak: Oops I didn't listen to what you just said. Can you repeat please? Wait mein record bhi kar leti hu. Let me get my phone from charging

She was about to get up but Sid held her wrist and made her sit back.

Sid: Di please band karo apna natak and be serious

Zalak: Aesi bhi konsi tragedy ho gayi jo mein serious ho jaoo?

Sid: Aapne dekha nhi abhi mom ne kya kia?

Zalak: Matt jaa agar tera mann nhi hai. Tu mana kyu nhi kar deta mom ko?

Sid: Maine mana kia tha. But aapne dekha how she reacted

Zalak: Agar tujhe mom ke uss fake emotional drama se itna farak pad raha hai to mil aa na uss ladki se. Teri konsa koi girlfriend hai jo tu kisi aur ladki ke saath date par jaayega to wo tujhse naraaz ho jaayegi. Ya hai koi secret girlfriend jiske baare mein tune mujhe bhi nhi bataya

Sid rolled his eyes.

Sid: Mein jaa raha hu office. Iss ghar mein koi baat hi nhi sunta meri. Kadar hi nhi hai kisiko

He was cursing everyone while taking his bag and bike keys.

Zalak: Mujhe bhi drop karde

She said drinking the last sip of her coffee quickly.

Sid: Mein nhi ja raha aapke saath

But Zalak ignored him and took her helmet and ran outside. Despite Sid's continuous refusal, she sat on the bike behind him. Sid sighed and drove to her school. They didn't talk anything the whole way as Zalak knew Sid was angry. Instead, she back hugged him and rested her head on his back which eventually brought a smile to his face. No matter how much they denied it, they were always each other's comfort person. Whenever they had any problem, the first person that came to their mind to run to was each other.

Sid stopped the bike in front of Sid's school. Zalak got down took off her helmet and hung it behind his bike.

Sid: I dropped you iska matlab ye nhi hai ki I forgave you

Zalak: Maine tujhse maafi maangi?

Sid: Chalo jaoo apne bacho ko padao. Waise I feel bad for kids. Pata nhi aap kya sikha rahe ho inko

Zalak: Hnn aur mujhe teri company par taras aata hai. Pata nhi kya soch kar tujhe job dedi. Ek din dooba dega tu usko

Sid: Whatever. I am getting late. Bye

Zalak kept a hand on his.

Zalak: Sid tu agar mom ki khushi ke lie ek baar uss ladki se mil bhi aayega na to koi badi baat nhi hai. Just think about it. I am not forcing you or something. It's just ki agar unhe itni si baat se khushi milti hai then why not

Sid looked at her keenly. She blinked her eyes in assurance. Sid just left without any reply. Nor was she expecting any. She trusted her brother and knew he wouldn't make any wrong or hasty decisions. She quietly went inside.
