The next day, siddharth was unusually quiet, not taking part in any of the conversation, he was sitting idle, even avneet was talking and mingling with others but she was still weak due to excess stress and almost panic attack, siddharth was there with her taking care of her, reminding her medicines and looking after her needs,but the sidneet spark was missing......
Family thought that he was still tensed abt avneet's health but only Abhishek knew his state of mind, he understood what his chotu his Ashu is going through, somewhere he felt need to talk with both sidneet, but was waiting for the right moment
The pool's edge cradled as Siddharth dipped his legs into the water. Lost in thought, he was oblivious to Abhishek's beside him. The soft lapping of water against the pool's edge provided a gentle soundtrack as the Siddharth, lost in introspection, absentmindedly dipped his legs.
Abhi: Ashu..?
Sidd: Dada, Aap kab aaye
Abhi: When you're lost in your thoughts
Sidd: Srry, meine dhayan nhi diya
Abhi: kya hua hai Ashu, you're aloof since yesterday, something's bothering you?
Sidd: Aisi koi baat nahi hai dada, baas anshul ko leke thoda gussa hu
Abhi: ye gussa nahi hai Ashu agar gussa hota toh, kisi pe chilake ya boxing bag par utar deta, ye hurt hai, aur ye anshul ki wajah se nahi, its coz of someone close to your heart hurt you aur mujhe ye bhi malum hai ki wo kaun hai, par mein tere muh se suna chata hu....
laid down, placing his head on his elder brother's lap.
Sidd turned and hugged his dada tightly, with so much force that abhi stumbled back but hugged his Lil bro tightly, tears streamed down his face. The vulnerability in his tears spoke volumes.
Looking up with innocent curiosity, he questioned, "How do you read me like an open book? How do you know me so well....
Abhishek, with a gentle smile, replied, "Years of shared stories, laughter, and tears make us chapters of the same book, each page etched with the understanding only brothers can have."
Sidd: Thank you so much dada, tq for everything, for being my mentor, teacher,brother, bestfriend aur papa bane ke liye, jabki aap bhi chote jab papa Hume chod ke chalye Gaye te, you took care of me like a father, you bought up me like your own child, I won't lie, I did feel insecure when I got to know that you're going to be a father, I was insecure that now I have share your love with him/her, but that never happened, you balanced us, yu never ever made me feel left out, though I'm proud have you as papa in my life but I'm unable to overcome the guilt that in order provide me the love of papa, you lost you're childhood, you became mature and responsible unlike the children of your age, I'm sorry Dada, I'm sorry I was being selfish, I'm sorry that cuz of me you lost you're childhood....
