The Pakistani And The Indians

2| Silent Treatment

The Agarwal brothers came home but all the brothers were ignoring him. The youngsters, except Arush, got to know about this mess and they were very, very angry with Aniket.

Here, Adarsh was reading a file when Aniket stepped inside. He rolled his eyes and concentrated on the file.

"Yaar bhaiyu, aap to samjho," Aniket whined.

"Bhaiyu," Aniket said sadly.

"Nahi, kar rahe na aap baat, sahi hai ab aap aayein baat krne, main bhi nahi krun ga," Aniket said angrily yet sadly, he was getting ignored by everyone. He left the room, not before giving Adarsh a last glance.

"Ye bhi sahi hai, galti bhi khud karta hai, gussa bhi khud karta hai," Adarsh said in disbelief.

He entered Aniket's room only to see him crying, he looked at Adarsh and hid himself in the blanket. Adarsh bit his lips to stop smiling.

"Bahir aao Aniket!" Adarsh ordered in a voice Aniket did not know how to ignore!

Aniket came out of the blanket and looked at Adarsh with teary, puppy eyes, making Adarsh sigh. This boy is special for him and will always be! Although everyone has their own places in Adarsh's life, Aniket is very, very special, and he can't be angry at Aniket for too long.

"Sahi se betho Aniket," Adarsh ordered, making Aniket pout; he didn't like his brothers calling him Aniket.

"Galat tha na wo, kisi or ne tujhe bola or tune believe kr liya, waise tou mujhe har baat btata hai, Anas ko har baat btata hai, ye kyu nhi btayi? Bata nhi sakta tha ke bhaiyu un logon ne ye bola hai?" Adarsh asked gently, making Aniket's eyes tear up.

"B..bhai...bhaiyu muj..mujhe pta tha ke a..ap lo..log j.ja k..kar b..bo..bolo g..ge un..unse, or mumma and dada waise bhi ha..hates m..me, I d..don't want h..her to h..hate m.me and A..Arush m...more, please b..bhaiyu a..ap tou s..samjho," Aniket stuttered and ended up crying so badly that his breath hitched. Adarsh drew soothing circles on his back.

"Shhh! Bus bacha, it's okay, agar Mrs. Agarwal hates you, it doesn't matter, we all love you more than our lives, you're very important for us, I love you the most," Adarsh said sincerely.

He heard soft snores, he looked down to see Aniket sleeping. He went out of the room and saw everyone sitting there.

"Kaisa hai ab?" Arnav asked worriedly.

"Sahi hai bus, he was crying a lot and I-" Adarsh said but was cut off by Arav. He was still angry with Aniket; he couldn’t believe that his brothers were this idiotic, first Arush, now Aniket. Their parents always targeted them as they are more sensitive.

"Ap melt hogaye or kya, bhaiyu humein unhein realise krana tha," Arav said, making Adarsh sigh.

"I know bacha, but usko koi tou support kre na warna tujhe pta hai wo ro ro ke bemaar pad jaega," Adarsh said, making Arav sigh.

Arush came there and sat on Arav's lap, snuggling into his chest.

"Kya hua bachay?" Arav asked gently.

"Big-b, ap sab bhai se naraaz kyu hain?" Arush asked innocently.

"Usi baat pe jis baat ki wajah se tujh se naraaz the." Arav said.

"Ohhh." Arush said cutely putting his tiny hands on his mouth.

"Big-b, ap ko pta hai, humare school mein kal koi event hai, usme chief guest aa rahe hain." Arush said.

"Big-b chocolate?" Arush asked while Arav looked at Arnav for permission who nodded his head.

"NO, P....PLEA..PLEASE P...PLE...PLEASE DO...DON'T." Someone begged followed by a scream.
