I sniffed and started to speak after what seemed like forever.. "Thank you,Vidh"..
He was still soothing my back while staring somewhere distant "Thank you?" He laughed and I smiled at the sound of it just like old times
"Yah for putting up with all of my shit" He smiled
"You know I missed this part of you..Not the crying part.. The admitting part that I am sad that I feel low.. You don't have to hide anything from me...we are past that, don't you think? " He smiled a reassuring smile...i tried to do the same but I can't...he was serious and of course he saw how I treated him at times and that was the time I knew..i have been wrong all along.."I promise..i willn't again" I nodded more to myself than to him
At Verma's Residence
Vik-Sir, Abhi sir is calling
Sid looked up from his laptop and nodded
After sometime
Sid knocked on Abhi's Door and opened the door to see him playing with his fingers nervously
He looked up at the door's creak and grinned at Sid
Abhi-Chotte! (He exclaimed and went to hug him)
Sid smiled seeing him so excited
Sid-BHAI! (He hugged him back)
Abhi broke the hug and dragged Sid towards the bed and made him sit
Sid raised an eyebrow
Abhi-Chote! I have a good news!
Sid grinned
Sid-you're pregnant! Congra(Abhi placed a hand on his mouth and glared at him)
Sid mumbled "fine" With a tired expression
Abhi-Fine! so basically.. (He paused for the dramatic effect)
Sid said in a singsong voice-Dhum tana na na(and yawned for the effect)
Abhi glared at him again
Abhi-your brother is getting maaaarieeeddd!
Sid nodded without realising and then replayed what abhi said again in his mind and then turned and looked at Abhi with his eyes wide
Sid-No you aren't!!
Abhi-Yes yes I am, chote!!
Sid-I can't believe!
Abhi-Nor can I!
Sid-who the hell is that unlucky women who agreed to marry you, dude!
Abhi glared at him and pushed him off the bed
Sid-Ouch! What the helll,man!
Abhi-Well deserved.. It is!
Sid got up dramatically while rubbing his arm
Sid-Fine! Sorry bro
Abhi-it's not okay.. Continue
Sid glared at him
Sid-When is the wedding though?
Abhi-Day after tomorrow (he looked at him for his reaction)
Sid-what? Wh-what the hell? Where the hell did other functions go?
Abhi-We did engagement and ring finding ceremony back in Germany because we wanted to(he gave him a sorry look) and we don't want to do any other functions.. Direct marriage
Sid-Why didn't you invited me?(he looked at him with a confused expression)
Abhi-She wanted to invite only family and.. (Sid cuts him off)
Sid-What am I and dad,then?
Abhi sighed
Abhi-We video called him at that time because he was sick
Sid-What about me? Or Am I not a part of your family just because I am not a blood of his own?
Abhi looked at him shocked and shook his head
Abhi-No.. No.. No.Chote! Look at me
Sid looked at him
Sid-Yah if you're shocked I know(he nodded while swallowing back his tears)
Abhi sighed
Abhi held his shoulders
Abhi-We love you,chote.. Me and dad.. We love you..And never do we have ever thought you of anything other than our family.. You are our family and I didn't invited you because dad was sick.. He needed someone by his side.. Who was his family... Whom he believed and you were so busy with all the preparations of the upcoming thing..i felt like I would be disturbing you
"You would never disturb me" He whispered and looked down
Abhi continued anyway
Abhi-and we were about to call you.. Me and vaish but dad told us.. You were sleeping and you had a long day... Am sorry.. I just felt you should rest.. It's just You take care of us so much..(he sighed) am sorry, chote.. I really am
Sid looked at his disappointed face
Sid-it's okay
Abhi opened his arms and Sid hugged him
Abhinavi's Wedding night
Anu-Calm down, babe!.. You're nervous like anything! Even vaishnavi is normal, you dumbo!
Avu frowned
Avu-you know right.. How bad I am being in the middle of normal people.. What if my temper gets in between and I shoot one of them? And I don't even know that good who vaishnavi is and you dragged me here!
Anu-Shut up! You're gonna drink and forget everything.. Let's go!
Avu held onto her arm
Avu-yah then I am damn sure someone is going to get killed my friend (she smiled tightly)
Anu gave her a disgusted look and dragged her with her
Anu-It's beeeeen months since you saw me!
Avu-i was busy(she rolled her eyes) who's the groom anyway?the lucky guy taking sunshine away(she said sarcastically)
Anu rolled her eyes and ordered two scotchs
Anu-Abhishek verma
Avu-verma? (She sipped from her glass)
Anu-verma indeed.. Not the verma you're thinking though
They both looked at Vaishu who was sitting beside her mom
Avu-i hope so
They clinked their glasses
Sid's Side
Sid-i am still a hell of angry on you,Dada.. But atleast you invited me to your wedding what a pleasure (he rolled his eyes)
Abhi looked at him
Abhi-yah now is when I realize i shouldn't have(he smiled teasingly)
They both laughed
Sid placed his hands on his shoulders
Sid-we both look so good
Abhi-you were supposed to compliment me!
Sid-i did but I just cannot ignore I am handsome..
He looked in the mirror and winked
Abhi just huffed and stood up
Abhi-i am so nervous it isn't like I haven't been with her before.. It's just the gathering is hugeeee! And I don't know how to act
Sid pouted
Sid-you just have to act human(he shrugged) if anyone utters a word about you he's gonna get killed.. Would that be okay? (He said teasingly)
Abhi-Fine.. Tease me now(he rolled his eyes)
Sid opened the window shades
Sid-there she is! Your bride! (He said with a smile and looked at Abhi)
He nodded while smiling and moved towards the window
Abhi-She's beautiful
Sid looked at him and rolled his eyes
Sid-God! You're whipped(he laughed)
Aah gave you all three chaps in one..
