Hey lovelies!

Thanks a lot for the lovely response. I was so touched by each and every comment. I made sure that I responded to all of them. If I missed any, I am genuinely sorry.

I hope the love keeps pouring in. I will try my best to do justice to the story I have in mind. I will definitely write the bonus chapter encompassing all the requests in one because they are majorly about Neil's younger days.

If I manage to finish it up before I finish the book, I will update it right away.

The target for this stays the same but the whole idea behind it is seeking some genuine response. Please don't misunderstand it.

P.S. Prem_Khushi is back. Thanks for inspiring me.

Have a happy read!!

Lots of love

Manisha Krishna





At Birla House:

Abhir tried to explain but Abhimanyu pointed at an older bruise. 

"Main iski baat kar raha tha" he said in a dangerously low voice. Abhir paled. 

"Aaj jo hua usmein mujhe aapki koi galti nahi dikhi. But I do want to know ki aap apni health aur safety ko leke itne careless kaise ho sakte ho..... especially when you hate medication?" 

Abhimanyu asked sincerely. He wasn't scolding. He was just expressing his concern. Abhir looked down. 

"Yeh chot kaise lagi Abhir? Aur kab?" He probed again. 

"Jab main khel raha tha na...mujhe basket karna tha aur karne gaya aur kisine mujhe takkar maar diya. I didn't see him coming. 

So, I fell down and there was some sharp metal thing there. Usise thoda kata tha. But the game went on and maine zyada socha nahi uske bare mein" Abhir came clean. 

"Kab hua?" Abhimanyu asked again, this time in a no-nonsense tone. 

"3 din pehle" Abhir answered and his head hung low in the blink of an eye. Abhimanyu looked at both his children who refused to meet his eye. 

"You know what both of you, I have nothing to say. Main aapko aapki galti realize karwane ki koshish kar sakta hoon. I can't force you to feel sorry. 

Like you rightly said Ru, bache nahi ho abhi. Mature hogaye ho toh maturely behave karo. Aise mere samne khade hone ka kya matlab hain? 

Jab jaante ho ki galat hai toh karna hi kyun hai? Aaj jab aapki Principal ne yeh bola ki you both are well brought up, I felt proud ki aisi situation mein bhi she is only praising you. 

That's proof enough for me..... ki mere bache bahut ache se pesh aate hain. Yes, I was worried about you both getting hurt. I am protective of you and I can't help it. 

Sabse, duniya se protect kar sakta hoon. Aapko aapse kaise protect karun? Main har cheez per nazar thodi rakh sakta hoon? 

Aaj main nahi dekhta toh shayad us bruise ke bare mein mujhe tab pata chalta jab kuch bada hojata. Septic hojata toh kya karleta main? There is only so much in my hands, jo main kar sakta hoon even as a Doctor. 

Fight itna escalate nahi hota toh mujhe kabhi pata nahi chalta ki aap College mein kya face kar rahe ho. Agar aapko action nahi bhi leni thi, kyunki woh childish hota according to you, aap humse share kar sakti thi.
