Its midnight already , mahi is driving car alone through a road in the middle of a deep forest, not caring about the darkness around him, his headlights goes off, he dont care. He increases car speed to maximum not knowing where he is,what's in middle... He is sweating badly, his headache pain exceeded the tolerance level, he took his hands from the gear, pressing both his hands in head badly, but the pain is still not reducing.. Its then he see a tree in the middle of road fell down, but before he could turn the stear....
"Bhaiiiiiii".... Virat woke up from sleep screaming bhai. Thank god that maa and daad slept already. Its been around 1.00 at night and mahi havent reached yet! Maa and dad asked mny times before going to sleep and vii told that bhai informed him that he will be late because friends are leaving at night to their cities . But vi know, mahi dont have friend's. He had friends, friends who were his family, but they all betrayed him, broke him...., but not anymore. That made viii scary. Then where? and why? He was happy till they reach drink plazza, but from there!! He couldnt connect the knots.. As each minute ticked in the clock, viis heartbeat too went high thinking what all doctor said last day. He tried his best to be with him always, but in a secong mahi went away! It was too much for him to wait anymore.. He walked to the garden chair near gate as his eyes are still looking for mahi's car... That's when his phone rang, an unknown number! His heart skipped a beat thinking about the probability of situation mahi can be in... With half heart, he answered it
But went off!! He sighed and called back but the number was not reachable which scared him more. He layed there in the support garden bench.
When vii was about to close his eyes relaxing, a car entered through the gate which is ought to be mahi's.. He ran to the car and opened the driver seat, wgat he saw was mahi laying with his gead on stears. He patted on his shoulder..
"Bhaii.."
"Haaa.. Mahi woke up. Chh.. eek.. u?? Wherrrre aaam ii??" He slurred when spoke, he was drunken!!!
Vii stood their still not understanding what's happening, this was a never seen mahi for him. Mahi got out from th car trying hisbest to stand still, but failing miserably. Cheeku supported him but mahi pushed awayy.
"Stay away, i dont want anyone's support"
"Bhaii..Did you drink?"
"What iffff i??? Anndd Am not an..yone's bha..bhai", He slurred when spoke.
"Dont scare me now. Where were you all this time? Come lets go inside home"
"Haha.. Hooommme?? Whhose?"
"Better you dont speak ," come now he moved towords mahi to support him, but again was pushed back.
"Whoooo arre youu to take carree off mee? Haaa?" He asked while finding it difficult carryhimself when walk
"Me?? This is not joke bhai, you dont know how scared i was"
"Aaaahhahah" mahi fell down on his kneels supporting the walll laughing sliding to the world of alcohol!!
Enough bhaii, come.. Mahi kept murmuring , but was not clear.. With a lot of difficulty, vii took him to room, he made him lay in the bed removing his shoes....and sat near him in bed.
"Chheekk..u iii caanntt.." Mahi kept saying in the sleep. Vii had a lone tear on his eyes, a drunk bhai is morethan he could see. He sat near mahi putting his hands in mahi's hair caressing him.. Deciding to speak with mahi tomorrow.
-----------------------------------------------
Its been morning, mahi's room in kailashpati.. A certain cheeku is laying cuddling to Pillow, ofcourse thinking its mahi...
"Cheeku.. Wake up now"
"No reply ftom vii"
"Cheekkuuuu.. Wake up, i dont hve tym."
"Plss mahi bhai, let me sleep somemoree." He turned to other side and went to sleep again.
"Ouchhhh.. Bhaiii, kya kar.. Maa??" (Cheeku asked waking up from sleep whining getting beated up on his hand but surprisingjy it was maa)
"Kya?? Do you know whats the time now? Haa??"
"Ouchh, ahha.. Maa stop na."
"Get fresh up fastly its already 9.30, prakash will take you to college today"
"Mahi bhai?? Where is him?"
"Stop talking cheeku, fresh up.."
"Maa tell na, where is bhai??"
"He went to office, else what?"
"I will only go with him to college, call him and tell to drop me."
"Not happening cheeku, either me or you is not calling him now.. You will go with prakash, understood? Come down stairs fast, its been 9.30 already.."
Maa went out and cheeku with a pouted face went to fresh up... Still couldn't able to figure what happened!!!
In office:
Mahi is in his cabin, with crew
"So, i have forwarded their request to rakesh, once get the review, the project should be ready within 2 days as per i said . Okay?"
"Okay sir"
"You guys can go now".
They all left the cabin and mahi moved to window looking at infinite totally out of zone.
Its then, he heard the knock in door
"Come in!"
"Sir, pan ji is calling you."
"Tell him am coming."
Wiping his tears and after composing himself he went to Dad's cabin.
"May i come in dad?"
"Yes bacha"
Their manager too was their in his cabin..
"Sit mahi"
"No Dad ,. Why you called me?"
"Mahii.. Did you ask rakesh to change the project plan i gave?"
"Yes, i asked him to. I felt that plan awkward."
"But.. But.. Mahi, the current plan is very costly."
"Still, it have high quality though.... The company that have me in the helm shouldnot do any compromise in quality"
"Ohh.. Okk Bacha. You can go now."Dad couldnt believe its coming from mahi, he knew the plan he gave was not bad. Whatever he decided to be it in mahiway.
"Iam sorry, but wanna suggest something too.."
"Ofcourse anytime , you proceed."
"Our company should focus more on the quality of projects we take than the money it costs, to balance that i think we can reduce the salary of workers"
"What you mean mahi?? Most of them and their family are depending on the salary we give.also reducing salary? It will have many conseqyences, our comapny was always workers friendly"
"But, buissness is buissness Dad. I don't mean to reduce everyone's salary, but equality in work and salary is imp!."
"But mahi.." Its then mahi's phone rang.
"Excuse me Dad, wanna attend a call. Do forward me the decision. I hope it will be in favor."
He came out Dad's room sighing, and took the call. But it went off. He thanked whoever in the other end for saving him, if not he could have failed here tooo.
Mahi is in a mission, and its lead is taken by his stupid brain. Not heart! ,...he reached his cabin and sat in his chair clossing his eyes with his hands in forehead which is paining like hell.. Its then his phone rang again..He touched on the receiver..
"Hello",
"Hellloo! " it was a female sound, but whenver from wherever he can identify that sound.. His throat went dry, he gripped his hands in the phone.
