                        AKASH'S POV

Rudra and I went to my chamber. Walking back to my chamber I felt my heart heavy ,crippled.

I sat on the couch  and rudra beside me.
Rudra said that he'll go to adarsh bhai and check once if everything was ok.!

Rudra said if my father knows that I went to see adarsh it won't be good.
So I remained calm lying on the couch..

He called adarsh bhai and asked about house address..then he left me .

Those dark clouds hovered over my brain.. I'm still lying on the couch not knowing what to do..
I slept .

A pause------

There's someone hand on my shoulder.
"Wake up akash"..it's avi's voice.

She kneeled beside sofa and trying to wake me up.

I sat on the couch..she came and stood in front of me .

She held her hand on my shoulder and said "don't worry akash.everything is gonna be okay..just give the  situation a little time to adjust ."

I didn't utter any word . I lifted my face up and I'm  Just watching  her face . I wrapped my arms around her torso and I hugged her placing my face on her torso.

                       AVANI'S POV

It's  8 pm in night. I entered the home and saw no one.

I went to kitchen. I didn't find vaani aunty. Then I asked helper where the aunt is?

"She's in her chamber" - helper said.

"Did they eat anything for lunch"- I asked and helper nodded "no"!

I took dinner for uncle and aunty .
I went to their chamber,Knocked door.
Vaani Aunty came out and asked me to come in.I saw uncle sitting on a king-size chair.

I placed the dinner tray on the table  beside couch .

I asked them to eat dinner and I went out of the room.while leaving the room I asked aunty whether akash ate or not.

"He's sleeping in his chamber avi"- she said.

"I'll wake him up aunty. The maid told me that he didn't eat his lunch either".- I said and I left to akash's chamber.

I opened the door and entered his chamber with a food tray .the door automatically closed itself.

I saw akash sleeping on the couch. I kept the food on table and went to akash .

I woke him up and he sat on couch.
I went infront of him and stood.

He sat on the couch with no movement. then he wrapped his hands around my torso and placed his head hugging my torso.

"It's gonna be okay akash.just give some time for situation to adjust"- I said brushing his hair with my fingers.

It's been 5 min .I'm still standing and he's been hugging me.He didn't even speak a word.

"Akash ! I brought you dinner. First eat"- I said.

I left from his hug and sat beside him holding plate.

"I'm not hungry avi"- he said.

I took rice and mixed it with matarpanner . I forwarded the plate to eat . But he refused.

I tried to convince him but he refused to eat.

I  stoodup and left the couch towards exit of his chamber. He's staring at me as if I'm leaving.
