3 years passed by, Sid got busy in his studies..

He had cleared NEXT (NEET PG), and got his dream college for further studies.

He was preparing for becoming a Cardiologist..

He misses Abhi really a lot...but resents his job..Abhi had even missed his NEET PG day, and the day he got his score..

It was like Abhi was there in his life, but still was mostly absent...

Abhi got another mission and he couldn't give time to his Aashu..

Amma was their supporter, she stood by Sid in everything..

Abhi had worked undercover for 2 years in China...he had taken 2 months training for the same, from learning Chinese, to working..he did it all.

He didn't get time to call Sid before leaving, he had dropped the message that he was going with Boss for a new branch set up..

When his mission ended, he had gained enough proof to present in UN, to even initiate cases against China, that they were giving refuge to terrorists who were against India..who had planted bombs in India..

Abhi wouldn't even have got caught..but he did, the other agent got caught and after intense torture, gave away Abhi's details...

For 3 months they broke him, tortured him, and threatened to kill..no information could be extracted from him..

He was going to get a death punishment, but luckily the proofs he had sent to the team were finally accepted in UN...

Chinese government had to agree with India's conditions, to save their global image..

Abhi was sent back to India..

They had sent him in the same condition, and everyone had lost hopes of seeing him alive..

After stitches in his body, Abhi took 6 months to recover completely...

He could walk around and was in his best shape..

Almost after 3 years Abhi returned home...

Sid happily greeted him, but Abhi could sense it, it was a facade...

Sid locked himself in his room and cried...

He had missed him very much no doubt, but he didn't want him to go again, he simply couldn't live like this, Abhi was giving small appearances in his life..Sid wanted his only parent to be with him through all his days...

Abhi was about to knock on his door, he had made Sid's favourite lunch...his heart broke as he heard the violent sobs..

Abhi closed his eyes, his head bowed...he was upset...

He couldn't do this anymore...it was sheer luck that UN took actions, and supported India...if the negotiations wouldn't have happened...he would have died, and Sid would have never known, Amma would have never known..

They would just be given the news, and nothing else..he couldn't even imagine how Aashu and Amma would have reacted to it...

His body shivered at the thought...no doubt he could still give his life away for his country...

But his family too deserved his support and his presence...

He didn't know what to do...he had missed so much in Sid's life...

His Aashu was now 25..he was doing so much in his life, and he felt guilty for not being there with him..

He sighed and knocked the door..

He heard quick footsteps, and sniffing..

Sid wiped off his tears and opened the door..

Abhi saw his red puffy eyes and tear-stained cheeks, and felt very guilty..
