"Sure." Was his only answer. Abhishek looked at Vaishnavi before going to him and holding him from his shoulders. He walked and made Siddharth sit on the couch which was in upper living room. This made Siddharth a little afraid and confused. He was looking at Avneet and Vaishnavi all the time. His gaze fell on Abhishek who sat on his knees in front of him while Avneet on the arm of couch and Vaishnavi on the other arm. The way they surrounded him gave him some strange bad vibes.
"Why have you all surrounded me like this?" He asked looking at his sides and then at his brother. Abhishek held his hands in his tightly.
"Siddharth, you will have to build a lot of courage to hear it. Promise you won't become weak." Assured Abhishek making Siddharth more worried. He just nodded understanding him.
"Ashu, you remember you got shot 3 months ago by Ramesh?" Asked Abhishek speaking with lot of difficulty. Siddharth just nodded asking him to continue.
"Ashu, during surgery you lost your one kidney." Informed Abhishek and took a long pause. Siddharth was now impressed and that didn't hide it anymore but told. He was not sad on what he lost but he was happy, atleast after overhearing them, they finally opened the truth infront of him. He didn't know another bad news is waiting for him. Abhishek took a deep breath before speaking again.
"Doctors have also said that you might can't become father throughout your life." He froze as soon as this sentence hit his mind. He looked at Abhishek in shock while Abhishek gripped on his hands tightly.
"W-What are you saying dada?" He confirmed of what he heard. He wasn't able to progress this news.
"T-This. How?" He just mumbled when Abhishek cut him off by placing his one hand on Siddharth's cheek caressing it.
"See, Ashu doctors said you might recover by some therapies and treatments. Trust me, we all are with you. Y-You don't need to feel stressed. We all are here and we will do one thing or the other. Am I right na?" Mumbled Abhishek in a rush understanding Siddharth's situation. Avneet kept her hand on his shoulder pressing her lips in order to control her sobs. She was also broken knowing her love is suffering just because she was somewhere the reason. She could feel his pain but not more than him.
"Oh, you were hiding this from me. Maybe it's also for my betterment." Said Siddharth calmly accepting the truth. Avneet pressed his shoulder consoling him. Telling him, no matter how the situation is she is still there for him. No matter how big the truth it, it should be accepted which he did. Few tears fell from his eyes.
"I think, I-I deserve it." Exclaimed Siddharth in a cracky voice, hopeless. He wiped his tears quickly. Avneet closed her eyes allowing tears to fall like a waterfall.
"I think I should leave now." Excused Siddharth getting up and pacing towards his room. Avneet wanted to go behind him but Vaishnavi stopped her. Abhishek was still on his knees seeing his hands in which he was holding his brother's soft hands. He was blank, he didn't knew from where did he got this courage to tell him but as soon as he left, Abhishek's courage also left his hand. Vaishnavi and Avneet looked at Abhishek. They went to him and made him sit on the couch. He was still glaring his hands helplessly.
"I never knew, I never knew one day instead of giving him happiness, I would give him such a painful news. Why didn't I die before giving him pain?" Cursed Abhishek holding his head in his hands crying violently.
"Abhi, please compose yourself." Consoled Vaishnavi who herself was crying mess. She kept her head on his back shoulder becoming herself weak. Avneet was also sitting beside Abhishek, totally blank. Abhishek looked at her and patted her hands.
"Now, you can only heal my brother. Please!" He pleaded joining his hands which she held shaking her head.
"Will you take care of him?please!" Whispered Abhishek to which Avneet shook her head. The trio who were so strong half an hour age were now so hopeless and sad. Siddharth's reaction making them more worried but they didn't left each other's shoulder.
