Chapter 21

Naira: Veer, ab tum kaise ho? Papa ne bataya mujhe. Unhone jaise bataya waise hi mai yaha aayi hu. You ok na? Kuch ho raha ho to batana. Please apne andar mat chupana. Ok?

Veer smiled and nodded. Naira ruffled his hairs and broke the hug.

Naira: Good boy! Ok ab ja, tu rest kar. You need rest.

Veer nodded and went in his room. Naira turned serious and looked at Sehegal brothers.

Naira (glaring them): Only Truth.

They sighed and told Naira everything, including his past. Naira gasped hearing it. Kartik comforted her while Mahir went to check on Veer. He smiled when he saw Veer was asleep.

Somewhere else....

A boy came running in the house and directly ran into his room not even bothering to greet back the another boy who just greeted him. The other boy frowned and followed the boy and was shocked seeing him crying. He went near him and hugged the boy tightly, rubbing his back to comfort him. The boy too cried in other boy's arms.

Other boy: Baccha, kya hua, why are you crying? Dada ko nahi batayega?

Boy (in between sobs): Dada, I messed up a lot. Maine bohot badi galti ki. I'm sorry.

The elder brother was shocked hearing his younger brother. He cupped younger brother's face and made him look up.

Dada: Baccha, kya hua hai? Agar tu batayega nahi to kaise chalega? Dada ko batana Si-

Boy (cut him off): Raghav, Dada. Raghav!

Dada: Sorry my fault. Galtise nikal jata.

Boy: Sumi Dada agar kisine ye sun liya hota to bohot gadbad ho jati. Don't forget, my name is Raghav. Raghav Sharma aur aap Sumedh Sharma. Naki... anyways. I'm so sorry, Dada. Maine bohot badi galti ki hai.

He again started crying. Sumi hugged him and rubbed his back.

Sumi: Baccha, mujhe bata to sahi.

Raghav slowly told all the matter to Sumi. Sumi was beyond shock.

Sumi: WHAT!? Ye kya kiya tumne, Ashu? Tumne bina kuch soche us bacche ko bully kiya? Kya is liye mai tumhe college bhejta hu? Vo baccha lagbhag humare chote ki age ka hi hoga. Agar humara chote aaj hota to tu uske saath bhi aisa hi karta? Bol.

Sumi said angrily. Raghav looked down and shook his head in no. Suddenely he remembered something and looked up, eyes flickering with hope.

Raghav: Dada, vo Veer jiske bhaiko maine koi aur samjha tha, Sehegal Company ka owner , vo aur koi nahi balki Kartik Bhai hai. Aur Veer Kartik aur Mahir Sehegal ka chota bhai aur Manish and Swarna Sehegal ka chota beta hai. Aap samajh rahe ho?

Sumi gasped on the sudden information.

Sumi (shocked): Are you sure, Ashu?

Raghav: Ha. Naitik Uncle ne hi bataya and above all hospital me Kartik Bhai aur Mahir aaye the. So I'm sure ki information 100% true hai par banda vahi hai ki nahi pata nahi. Maine Reyansh Bhai ko bola hai vo uski saari information nikalne wale hai. Parso pata chal jayega ki ye Veer Sehegal asal me hai kon. Par ha Dada, aap Papako abhi mat batana. Agar hum jaisa soch rahe hai waisa nahi nikla to Papa tut jayege. He can't handle that pain again.

Sumi (nodding): Yes Baccha. I'll take care. Par kya sachme tumhe lagta hai ki vo...

Raghav: Ha bhai. I'm sure. Par agar vo sach nikla, to he will never accept me. After all maine jo kuch bhi kiya hai uske saath, he would be hating me. Pyaar to chodo, vo mera muh tak dekhna nahi chahega. Ye maine kya kardiya. How could I do this?
