Sid shook him carefully:"Speak na Dada, nahi hun kya main itna strong, don't you trust me to handle it..kyon nahi bataya..don't you consider me your loved one.."
Abhi yanked his hands away and scolded:"Pagal hai kya, you're my first and only loved one Sid..kyon nahi samajta tu?"
Sid spoke angrily:"Toh kyon nahi bataya is job ke baare mein..kitne saalon se jhuth bol rahe ho? I don't even know anything..."
He looked down to calm himself..
Abhi made him look up:"Calm down pls, main tujhe sab bataunga..there are so many reasons I've kept this hidden...Ghar jaake sab bataunga tujhe, I promise Aashu"
Sid shook his head:"You won't, firse chupaoge aap"
Abhi sighed:"You know the truth now Sid, yahi toh main tha, ab Jo bataunga vo shuru se hoga, kyon kiya ye sab Maine..kyon jhuth bola tujhse.. everything Aashu..pls trust kar na apne Dada pe.."
Sid:"Puri zindagi blind trust kiya tha aap pe..Aaj pata chal gya ki kitna jhuth bola aapne mujhse, I never expected this Dada.."
He turned to go, Abhi held his hand:"Aashu, I can't lose you baccha, pls samaj, I'll tell you everything, maine bahot badi galti ki jhuth bolke, but I had reasons Sid, pls give me a chance to tell you..tere Dada trustworthy hain Sid, main nahi jee payunga Aashu, pls sun meri baat.."
Sid looked at him, Abhi was unknowingly crying.. silently..
Sid wiped his tears, but freed his own arm from Abhi..
He walked away..
Abhi felt incomplete...it hit him hard..
Sid diverted himself in taking the patients' care...he had to calm himself...he knew the art of not letting his personal problems affect his work...
Abhi squeezed his eyes shut..he wanted to set everything right, but it was all slipping out of his hands..
Abhi took a deep breath and thought with determination:"I need to tell Aashu everything...now that he knows it almost, and then I'll make sure Sid never comes in harm's way.."
With this thought he thought of all things he had to tell him..he wasn't going to go in details of his missions..just how it all began actually..
A nurse came to tell him that there was some injection he had to take....
Abhi checked the name and nodded....by now he had come to know what things medical people used..it helped to avoid any deceptive people..
Sid, who had come to check on that, saw him nodding at the injection and understood...his Dada had done this many times..
Sid's eyes misted, his Dada had got injured like this so many times, and he didn't even know..
Sid went back to work, he couldn't meet Abhi now..
..
2 days later, Abhi was set to get discharged..
In this time, Sid never talked to Abhi, even when Abhi asked him to sit with him, Sid would sit there quietly and not speak a word..
He was too hurt to speak to Abhi..
Abhi knew it was his fault..he just hoped after knowing the reasons, Sid wouldn't stay so upset..he just wanted his brother to be happy..
Sid helped him take his things..
Abhi let him do that, he had been acquainted to do these things alone, but now that Sid knew, he couldn't snatch his rights of taking care of Abhi..anything to sooth the hurt he had caused to his kid..
