Yes, tell them sorry!
Mahi felt betrayed, he felt like he is in a parallel world , he didnt reply.
"Mahii, did you hear what i said?"
"Yes."
"Then what? Do it."
"Am sorry Dad, i cant do this."
Why?
"BECAUSE, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING" Mahi was unconscious by his mind, he felt everything is back again, he felt those bad dreams he had is again replaying infront of him.
"THEN WHO DID THIS?" Dad asked pointing fingers at Jake's fake though convincing injuries.
Its then only mahi came back to reality, he looked at jake who dad pointed at.. All he can see was his disgusting smirks.
" ARE YOU HEARING ME? WHO DID THIS?"
Mahi stood there not replying. He didnt want those fingers to point at his cheeku, he didnt want dad to be guilty for believing those fake accusations, he thought everything will end by yesterday.. But no, the game of life is at it again. He felt angry, not to anyone but to hinself, he felt himself a disgusting life.
"IF YOU DIDNT DO ANYTHING, THEN WHAT ALL THIS PHOTOGRAPHS MEANS? OR DO YOU HAVE EXCUSES FOR THIS TOO?"
In those photographs, Mahi was seen standing with jake who is having a bleeding nose, and is slapping someone outside the canera angle, ofcourse convincibg for anyone. Mahi smiled looking at those photographs that irked Dad more.
Only if Dad knew! Only if he believed! Only if he rewinded what all happened in his son's life few years back! Only if he thought about how miserable the people sitting infront of him made his son's life! Only if he knew how hard his son tried to smile through all these! But he didnt! He wnted to prove his authority.. In bw when saw mahi smiling it made him more angry.
Slapp!
Thats it, that was the ultimate mahi could take. He turned to Jake and said
"Am sorry."
He ran fron there, to his car.. He closed door and drove the car, he didnt knew to where, he badly wanted to end life in it itself. He drove it in the maximum speed he can, not aware of what he is doing, hahha, he didnt even know whats happening in his life,.... He felt all those days are coming back again! Its then he saw a small kid running to road from home. He searched for break in car, he couldn't find, na, he couldnt diffetentiate, his thoughts were dead.he felt his breathing is getting uneven, he felt everything is getting blurred. In a second, he was lying his chest in car gear, forehead bleeding..
Its then, he heard knocks in his car window, for a minute, he doubted where he is... When looked he saw a women with baby in her hand, he opened the window..
"Am sorry sir, i didnt see her running. Do anytging happened to you? Sir.. Your forehead is bleeding.."
"No.. No.. Its nothing, it was my mistake!. Is she alright ".he asked looking at the baby somiling knowing nothing.
"Yes sir, she is."
"Ok then."
He smiled and drove to home from there, Mam was not in home as she went to temple near uncle's home. So will only comeback tomorrow. He felt grateful for that and went to his room and closed the door locking from inside. He wanted some time in his own world, to end all frustrations, to do justice to his emotions,..
It was few minutes afrer sunset that cheeku reached home not knowing anything. Seeing bhai's car he went to mahi's room, but was locked from inside.
"Bhaiii.. Are you there?"
