MUNTAZIR (A TALE OF AWAITING LOVE) ☑️

Chapter 22

"Bhai, what's up you look disturbed ?" adil strolls in regardless of their unsteady relationship.

"You didn't even join us for dinner !" he specified with a genuine care and affection "I didn't wanna be there but what's up with you, huh ?" raised his eyebrow at him "nothing, I was just concerned ur acting as if I committed some sort of a crime." he chuckles, sidharth laughs "tujhe khud ke liye itna concerned dekh kar I am truly touched man." felt like a taunt, making adil immediately regret.

"Okay, my fault I shouldn't have come here." adil is going to leave when sidharth quickly stops him "I was kidding, bada bhai hone ke naate, itna haq toh banta haina mera waise sach kahun mujhe na  khushi mehsoos huwe tujhe yahan dekh kar apne liye itna concerned dekh kar I almost forgot what it means to have a brother !" sidharth admitted.

"Same here, it's good to have you back." adil told, sidharth smiled "lag toh nahin raha mere aane se ghar ke aadhe log na khush hain." adil shakes his head in denial "bhai they don't hate you it's just a lot is going through their heads right now they've had their own share of hurt and disappointment" sidharth lowers down head in resentment.

"Mujhe idea nahin tha bachpane mein kiye huwe waade is qadr aapke aane wale kal pe haave hone lagte hain. I really wish mujhe idea hota is sab ka kasam se kabhi shehnaaz se waade karke ne jaata mere andar na khudke liye bohut saara gussa aur nafrat hai especially after witnessing out come of my stupid promise, I never meant it maybe it did hold a value at that particular time cuz we were a lot more closer than friends.
We were like inseparable, but after me taking off
from pakistan things changed.
We grew up, made friends and grew distant from her little did I know that she was still standing in that time zone where I was leaving .. she was you know crying and digesting the fact we were going away drifting from each-other." he shared, thank goodness someone is here to listen him out.

"I guess, it's nobodies fault other than destiny !" little bro pin-pointed realizing how miserably it was affecting the two of them, including family.

"What should I do to secure our friendship ?" he asks, unable to sort out the mess "look, I am now aware that she didn't make any friend other than me .. this .. sameer is nothing but a way to get on my nerves .. not to forget .. she's brilliantly going with this so called friendship !" adil chuckled.

"What's so funny yaar hasna bandh kar I want us to be friends aisa bhi kya hogaya joh hum dost he nahi bann kar reh sakte ?" sidharth asks, adil just gave a slight nod, once again ended-up laughing.

"Tu na maar khayega mujhse ye daant phaar kar hasna bandh kar help nahi karsakta kum se kum jale par namak chidakna band kar !" warned due to which adil zipped his mouth.

He raises eyebrow, making him speak "bhai, why are you getting pissed ? If you have moved on, let her to do the same give her some time na she will eventually walk ahead surpass these emotions. It might help her in becoming your friend again ?!" suggests his elder brother "hmm, ok just help me in keeping sameer away from her." shocking adil, his eyes widen "what, why ? don't tell me are you getting jealous bhai ?" earns a smack.

"Shut up, nothing is there to be jealous, you guys have no idea what a jerk sameer is don't take him so lightly he's not what he seems to be I know the actual him, trust me adil you would never wish to see the real him." sidharth knew certain things of his which were kept hidden from the family.

"What do you mean ?" adil asked to earn a better clarification "let it be just do as I say do you trust me ?" sidharth questions, adil nods getting a hug "I am sorry, I couldn't be there when you needed me the most growing up seeing some-one else of your age having a support system is terrible, tera gussa aur naraz hona mujh par jayaz hai as I just haven't failed to be a good son but a brother too ! Since the day I have returned na I have started to realize how carelessly I was living in my world us duniya mein jahan sab temporary tha .. mere asli log yahan thai jinhe meri parwah thi magar main beparwah apne he duniya mein mast tha." regret, clearly visible, their eyes brim with tears.
