Big Little Brother

17. Friends!!....

Akshat felt Aditya hugging him from behind, he stiff on his place... But after some seconds relaxed a bit ...
Akshat hold Aditya's arm and turn behind, now facing him , while Aditya was still leaning on him ...

Akshat could see youngers face and how he is trying to control his tears not letting it fall...
Akshat gently pulled him more , hiding his face in his chest.... A tear roll down from Aditya's eyes... Following another tear....
Both were silent , none of them spoke a single word.... The warm embrace of elders is really soothing Aditya's pain...
But the silence got disturbed by the phone call...

Aditya quickly wiped his tears not looking at elder and cursing himself mentally to cry in front of him....
Akshat didn't asked or said him anything knowing that , Aditya doesn't like showing his vulnerable side to anyone...

Aditya looked for his phone but couldn't see it ... So Akshat gave him from the bedside table as it was on charging... He scolded Aditya 100 times mentally for not charging his phone as it was dead....
Thinking all of them are just same ....

While passing the phone to him he saw his father is calling him but is surprised to see that it is saved as Mr bhardwaj...He sigh knowing there is something really wrong with the boy, but does he have right to pry in younger's personal life Akshat thought...

Aditya took his phone and sigh deeply before picking his dad's call....
He placed on his ear but as soon as he did he move the phone away from his ear hearing a roaring voice of his dad ...

Vishal - Aditya bhardwaj where the hell were you ???... Tumhe andaza bhi hai kal raat se kitne calls kiye hai Maine tumhe??... And how the hell you end up in the garden??...

Listening to it Aditya looked at Akshat with a betrayal look... He didn't wanted his father to find out about his whereabouts...

Vishal - why didn't you return home at night wait kr rha tha mai tumhara kabse ... I even called you hundred times but , no you never took the pain to pick up your damn phone!!.....

Vishal is talking nonstop or can say scolding Aditya for his reckless behavior...
While Aditya wanted to ask him " how does it feel when you wait for someone and the person doesn't return back to you ??... How does it feel when your call gets ignore??"...

Aditya wanted his father to have taste of his own medicine... In his childhood , he always used to wait for his  dear Father patiently just to tell him about his whole day, to tell him about his bullies in school , who had made his school life hell, he waited for him to just request him take somewhere out on vacations....most of the time while waiting for his dad , he used to sleep in the living room couch itself...
But still there used to be no trace of him.... He used to call him just to ask him about his whereabouts or when he will come home just to get ignore from him or to be scolded saying 'he is Busy'...

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when a tear roll down his cheek, but came back to his senses hearing his fathers loud voice calling him....

Vishal- Aditya are you even listening to me....

He flinched and took a deep breath...
He took deep breath before answering to him....

Aditya calmly - I'll come in a while...

Vishal bit furious- look at the time Aditya, today you will get your results, have you even checked the date and time ... I am getting call from your college that you have not collected your results and they are trying to reach to you but your call is not reachable....

Aditya's eyes widened and then he looked at the date in his phone and realization hit him hard , today his mid term results will be announced...
He cursed under his breath and gripped his hair out of frustration... its almost half hour late ...
