RISHABH'S POV

"Bhaisa see what I brought for you?" I asked entering his room with fake a smile

"What did you bring?" Bhaisa asked me smiling

"Your favourite breakfast aloo Puri and masala tea" I said making two plates for both of us

Bhaisa took the plate with raised brows at me "how did I earn the privileged of good food?" He asked me irritated with the hospital food he has to eat from the last six days .

"We are celebrating....I just had a talk with your doctor he said you are completely fine and we can take you home ....you just have to take some good rest and we have to come back after 15 days for a check up after which we can start with your physiotherapy"
I informed him happy that he will come back home

"Ansh is missing you and I am sure bhabhisa must be missing you too" I said feeling guilty that I am the reason why bhabhisa could not come here to meet bhaisa as I refused to come home she had to stay with Ashi

"So what have you thought? " He asked although I knew about what he was talking about. I don't want to talk about it so I acted as if I did not understand what he meant and gave him the stupidest reply I could ...acting confused I replied ," there are still two days left to join college "

"We both know I am not asking about that but since you are acting as Ansh, I will be direct ....where are you planning to hide now since these hospital excuses are over " bhaisa asked slowly but firmly.

His voice is so stern and for the first time I understood how it feels when your big brother scolds you . Never before I felt I am answerable to someone nor my father or brother and this feels so good that I have someone to watch on me , protect me, scold me , pamper me . I immediately sat near him and hugged him tight as tight as I could hug him without causing him pain or discomfort.

He placed his one hand in my scalp and wrapped the other hand around my torso and started caressing my head..... "Rishabh ....Rishu " the moment he called me Rishu my barriers broke down and I started crying ....I cried like a child would cry all my emotions from these many years all started flooding in form of tears which were escaping from my eyes.

"Cry as much as you want to bacha ....I am here bacha ....I am here for you " bhaisa said and that was all I needed to shed if any inhibitions were left there in me

After half an hour I calmed down bhaisa pointed me towards water when I filled the glass and forwarded it to him he said, "drink it first then we will talk "

"How long is Ashi?" Bhaisa asked me once I was sober

"Two months " I replied

"Did she knew?" Bhaisa asked me

"No...if she knew she would have told me " I said immediately

"Are you sure ? It may be possible she must be scared to tell you ?" Bhaisa asked

"No...my Ashi would never hide such thing from me ....I know that for sure ....she is way too good and innocent for that and I trust her completely" I said

"Then why are you upset? When you trust her ? Is it because the child is not yours ?" Bhaisa asked me softly

I nooded my head in no.

Bhaisa sighed and said , "Rishu bacha I have given you enough time to think and rethink now we need to talk....it is not only affecting you it is also affecting Ashi and the child "

"Rishu are you not able to accept the Baby because it is not yours?" Bhaisa asked me again

I started pacing in the room and bhaisa waited patiently for me to talk . After my 15th round I looked at bhaisa and when I saw him I realised he won't leave me without talking so I thought it is better to talk .
