At the hospital

Singto: "You guys go ahead. I will park the car and join you."

Neo: "Ok P"

Others, enquire about Off in reception and went to his room. When they went to the room, Off was laying on his bed and Podd was waiting for them. Everyone run to their brother ignoring Podd. They stood around his bandaged left leg.

Tay: "How are you P'Off?"

Earth: "What happened?"

Neo: "Are you hurting? What did doctor say?"

Off chuckled seeing his brothers worried for him. He was elder of all, but right now they were worried like a kid of the family got injured.

Off: "One question at a time guys."

Earth: "What happened P'Off?"

Off: "Nothing much. I just slipped when I was visiting the site."

Tay: "I should've come with you!"

Off: "If something is bound to happen, nothing can change that."

Neo: "What did doctor say?"

Off: "I got my ankle sprained. Should start physiotherapy within 3 days."

Podd: "Doctor here suggested a good physiotherapist. I will talk to them later."

Off: "C'mon Podd, its no big deal. It will heal automatically."

Neo: "P'Off! You should follow whatever doctor says. Then only you can walk around ordering us!"

Off: "Are you saying I am bossing around?"

Neo: "I meant that as compliment P."

Off: "You have a smart mouth kiddo."

Neo: "P... I am not kid!"

Off: "You are still kid for me. By the way, where is my favourite singer?"

Earth: "You don't even go to any of his concerts P'Off."

Off: "That doesn't mean he is not my favourite."

Neo: "P'Sing is parking his car. He will come now."

Off: "Okay."

Off noticed his brother Tay was unusually quiet.

Tay: "Nothing P. I want to talk to P'Podd about your physiotherapist."

Off: "I already said I will be fine."

Earth: "C'mon P, you are getting old. You should look after even smallest things regarding your health. P'Tay, you go and talk with him."

Earth winked to Tay, because he was the one who figured what Tay was planning. Off is in need of physiotherapist and Gun is one. This is a golden opportunity!

Off: "As if I have other choice. Do whatever you guys want."

Tay went outside with Podd.

Off: "Do you guys feel Tay is weird today?"

Neo: "When was he not!"

Off laughed wholeheartedly. They always tease each other. That's a form of their bonding.

At the corridor

Tay: "P'Podd, please do me a fovour. Don't call the physiotherapist doctor suggested."

Podd: "What? Why shouldn't I do that?"

Singto who came just now, joined his P'Tay.

Singto: "What happened?"
