He scoffed turning towards his twins again.

His son eyes was exactly like him—same deep brown,same flicker of mischief.that same frown mirrored in his daughter of hers.

He breathed out,choked on his tears"i missed all, their first,their first walk,their first word, everything".

The twins stared silently, confused, sensing something is wrong.

"Mumma"vidhi tugged her mother hands,her for eyes was scanning his face"why he is crying?"...

Her fingers tighten around their shoulders.

Mahir shook his head, trying hard to not show anything on face.his eyes hollow "don't worry,i won't touch them,i won't ruin what is pure"his voice barely above a whisper but able to her to hear.

He stood slowly like it took every piece of him to stand.hands still trembling by side,itching to cupping their cheeks badly.

And without any glance He walked away.

He didn't looked back because he knows if he did,he will surely fell to his knees and never get up again .

He reached to guest room and shut the door behind him—softly ,not because he cared who heard but because the last of his strength is left at the doorway.

He walked inside, smiling while running hands inside hairs... looking exactly like a physco.

Trying to stop himself from crying but it didn't helped.

He leaned back against the cold wall,chest heavy ,eyes stinging.

Then ..... silence.

Followed by a breath.

And then a sound —low and broken —as he sank to the floor.

A sob clawed his way out of throat before he could stop it.

He had seen them,his children, looking at him like he is stranger.

Just a stranger.

His chest tighten,grip clutched around bed like it is the only thing which was giving him strength .

"I didn't even know their name"

He shut his tightly as if that could hold back the memory of their faces—the way his son tilted his head like he used to.....the way he called
Him uncle, the way his daughter eyes twinkling in curiosity.

And the way —their mother stood in between them ,like protecting them from him.

Like a wall.

Tears streamed down his cheeks,uncherished now.

"Hello i know how to make up with a baby,you can't do anything except make them cry"mahir spoke proudly while smacking aksath head.

Aksath rolled his eyes"you hate girls and dieing for children's ".

"arey!i can play with adarsh bhai children's "

Adarsh choked on his water .

"I am not going to marry ".

Aksath laughed while looking at mahir"what you will do now?".

"Don't tease him,he is right.he is going to be best father in future unlike you too....humesha baccho ko rula dete ho".

Aksath and adarsh rolled their eyes while mahir smirk widen "my children will be proud of me"

Adasrh chuckled darkly while aksath throwed a pillow on his face"We will see ".
