Blood is thicker than water.

Chapter 5

Sid was curled up in the corner of the room. He was locked in that dark room for more than 3 days now without food or water. He was getting scared from the creepy sound of the insects. He hugged himself so tightly giving himself some strength and comfort. He was already slipping out of concious at times...

Sid didn't knew what happened.... all he could remember was he falling down to darkness when he saw his mom lying on the floor in her room. He was going towards her calling her softly but  fell into darkness suddenly. He didnt knew what happened suddenly. But when he woke up he was lying near his mom who was fully surrounded by her own blood. His eyes widened seeing the blood and sat up with a jerk..with that shock what he didn't realised was he was holding a knife and it was indeed drenched with blood.

He threw the knife away and ran to his mom. He cupped her face and tried to wake her up...

Sid: mumma...open ur eyes mumma...please...i am getting scared....get up mumma...he was getting scared as she was lying without any response. He was still shaking her when the door closed shut clicking locked.

Sid got scared more and as he was new to the place he didn't knew the native language fully...though they spoke hindi in their house he being born in New York and grew up fully there he found it difficult to learn the language like others...he tried to open the door and ask for help...but the door was locked.

He again went to mom and cried asking her to wake up. He sat beside her hugging his knees. He was so scared. He wanted his brothers now... He didnt knew why his mom was not waking up...he knew something bad had happened to her as there was blood but he couldn't conclude she was no more...

After sometime the door burst opened and in came the police and all the staffs inside. Sid got startled and scared on seeing them.

Lady: yah vahee hai...mainne use madamji ko chaakoo se vaar karate hue dekha...mainne use andar band kar diya aur police ko bula liya.....she said pointing to sid who was looking at her without understanding what she was telling as the language was difficult to him as she was a native speaker.
( its him...i saw him stabbing madam with knife...i locked him inside and called the police)

Police looked at him and saw him drenched with blood.

Police: get him out...get the forensic inside and close the body with the cloth.

Sid was still standing there with a gaze and when the forensic people came inside and marked the place where his mother was lying and closed her body with a white cloth.

Forensic: i think she is been dead for so long...all the blood has been drained out...

It was then sid understood that his mom was no more. He started crying and tried to go to her but they stopped him. He struggled in their grip and pleaded them to let him go to his mother. As it was the local police and he was speaking in English they got irritated and as they had eye witness the police dragged sid out of that room and that was the same time Avinash and Anirudh was standing there along with Manish...he didn't know when they came..but he wanted to go to his bhaiya and hug him tightly...he was so scared.

Manish: get him away from us inspector....who knows he will kill them to....he said blocking Sid's way to Avinash who was standing there numb looking at the scene infront of him. Sid got scared and stopped dead on his tracks and that's when the police dragged him away...he wanted his bhaiya to stop them but they were not even giving him a glance...
