" I said don't come near me !!" Veer pushed Mahir as he was about to fall but fortunately Ritik hold him before he can fall on the ground.

" Veer veer bachha open the door please don't scare Bhai please." Ritik pleaded.
" Veer please open the door." Mahir cried. " Bhaiya he is not opening the door please do something."
Ritik cares Mahir's cheeks and again called for Veer.
" Veer please at least listen to us....Veer....." Ritik stoped as he hear something brock in side it sounds like broken glasses.
" Bha__bhai " Mahir looked at Ritik with horror.
Ritik's eyes widen as he again started to bang the door. " Veer Veer open the door ! open the door! "
He had enough now so he tried to break open the door and it successfully opened revealing Veer who was looking miserable eyes puffy with crying and cheeks were red.
He his right hand was bleeding as he was holding a piece of glass and the bathroom mirror was broken as some blood were there.
He was looking at his brothers inocently as nothing had happened.

Veer started at cry again as his legs gave up and he was about to fall but Ritik and Mahir hold him.
" Veer give it to me bachha hmm" Ritik said as he slowly took the glass piece from him.
Veer didn't protest he just cried, cried his heart out.
" Hey hey Veer we are with you we are with you . Don't think you are alone . Please." Mahir said as he tried to clam him down but Veer was crying so hard that he can't hear anything.
Suddenly his crying stoped .
Ritik and Mahir looked at him only to found his eyes closed as he had fainted.
" Veer Veer ?? What happen open your eyes please Veer ??" Ritik called him as he patted his cheeks but didn't get any response.
" Mahir call the doctor now ." Ritik said as he carry Veer to the bed and Mahir called their family doctor.
