Main phir bhi tumko chahunga♥️

"Rohit!"

The soft but little loud call broke Rohit's nap on floor. The person standing another side of prison seems like a dream in half drowsiness. Rubbing eyes goodly he greeted him with smiley face. Though the dry face of another made him guilty again for his previous deed; not knowing the another got hurt for his eyebags and recent pathetic sleep on floor.

"Why were you sleeping till now ? It's late morning..."

"Woh actually... couldn't sleep early at night. Akki kahan hai ?"

The pure wish of seeing his son emerged in the face, making Virat's lips tremble. Hardly he controlled tears. "Aaj nhi laaya use. Whatever, you'll get bail soon. And... also have another good news for you"

"What is it ?"

"Bhaiya has confessed everything to police. They arrested him last night. But, bhaiya didn't kill Rusha di, she actually committed suicide. Though bhaiya is directly responsible for her depressed life so I hope he will get proper punishment"

Rohit never expected the gust. Virat send his brother into jail within one day ? Finally his sister's culprit went into police custody ? The stuff, they wished to see from years, tortured Virat to make it sooner... has finally successfull ?

"It really happened Rohit, be happy now..."

His hands became folded, for almighty or his late sister, eyes filled with tears when looked upwards and closed them. For a few minutes he stood like that, don't know for what he prayed for. Virat also stood silent to make his mind before informing Rohit the next matter.

"I'm sorry Virat" -- Rohit himself broke the silence followed by Virat's statement, "I have no regret for my brother. He deserved it! Main bhi Rusha di se utna hi pyaar karta tha jitna tum karte the. So don't think mean"

A thankful smile glittered on Rohit's face almost after three years. Virat never saw this pure smile after marriage. "Thanks Vi, mujhe samajhne ki liye, mere didi justice dilane ke liye... Ab dekhna, bail milne ke baad hum Akki ko lekar bohot Khushi se jeeyenge. Ab koi jhanjhat nhi aane dunga main tum dono pe, promise!"

The hearty words were coming out with pure faith, sanctified by teardrops. Virat's heart looned to hug the poor man breaking the iron-grids, but the boundary laughed on his warp and woof. The promise he made to Vishal hit his mind but he was unable to control emotions.

"It's.... It's not possible now"

Not going to the elaboration how Virat clarified the barrier made by Vishal and how many times his words chocked by tears. But he tried hard to hide them and stay strong. The few minutes of sultry also don't need detail when Rohit was fighting to digest the shock. Virat and his son will no longer be his! May be the word 'consequence' defines exactly his current situation, which seems not only difficult but almost impossible to accept.

"To.....tum AB se shaadi karoge ?"

"Still not decided. Just promised to bhaiya to make him confess..."

Before he could complete Rohit panicked calmly, "Akki ki custody bhi tumhe milega, hai naa ?"

"Whom else ? Rohit he's infant, how he can be separated from me ?"

Accepting all the juridical punishments, he dreamed for a happy life at last; of course with Virat and Akki. That also has been broken down. No way remained except accepting the harsh reality and move forward. Can he really do that ?

"It's fine. I'll give seventy percent of my personal property to his name, ache se paalna use"

"I won't take alimony. With God's mercy I have enough to raise him up." Slowly Virat held Rohit's hand which he was using to hold the grids of cell. The passionate touch from Virat make impossible to hold tears, on that Virat's soft voice, "bas tum jaldi yahan se bahar aake ek nayi zindagi shuru karo"

"It's completely fine Virat. I couldn't be a good husband or father. You and Akki indeed deserve better. Not only Vishal, I'm also requesting you, get married with AB, he's far better than me, he loves my son... he will treat you right way. Jaao, khush raho"

The struggle for a fake smile was clear on Rohit's face. Virat neither nodded nor denied to his words, slowly moved his hand from Rohit's and started going backward step by step. At a time he turned around, couldn't face Rohit's still eyes, almost ran out covering the teary eyes with palms.
