It was almost 2:00 AM when Akshat finally entered the house, utterly exhausted... His tie hung loosely around his neck, and he held his blazer in one hand while clutching his office bag in the other.... He was dead on his feet, dragging himself toward his room.... But just as he was about to climb the stairs, a voice stopped him in his tracks....
Vishal - Akshat...
Akshat turned around, surprised to see his new father still awake at this hour... He glanced at his watch, frowning in confusion... Vishal was supposed to be asleep, not wandering around the house at this hour...
Akshat - Aap iss waqt yahan??... You should be sleeping, not roaming around....
Akshat’s voice was stern, devoid of any softness... But Vishal noticed the underlying concern in his tone, and it was enough to give him hope a small but significant hope that maybe, just maybe, things could change between them...
Vishal - Even you should be sleeping, Akshat... But here you are, just coming back now...
Vishal countered, surprising Akshat... He sighed, his exhaustion evident...
Akshat - Do you need anything, Mr Bhardwaj??... If not, please excuse me...
He turned to head upstairs, but Vishal’s next words froze him in place....
Vishal - Aditya ka kuch pata chala??...
Akshat- Nahi, but I’m trying to find him...
Vishal’s face fell, his worry could be seen on his face...
Vishal - Pata nahi kahan hai... kaise hoga, kuch news hi nhi hai uski doo din se....
Akshat felt his frustration rise but bit back the urge to lash out... Instead, he kept his tone controlled...
He would probably be better off far away...His tongue itched to say it aloud, but he held back, not wanting to continue the conversation...
Vishal- Please find him Akshat ....Main tumhare aage haath jodta hoon... please beta... Tum hi ho jiss pr mai bharosa kr skta hu ... please kesse bhi karke usse wapas le aao...
Akshat looked at the man before him, so desperate and pleading....He lowered his gaze for a moment, then sighed....
Akshat - I will find him Mr bhardwaj but not for you... But because he is my brother...
Vishal looked down, a sense of defeat washing over him... But before Akshat could move, Vishal’s phone rang.... The name flashing on the screen made his eyes widen, and he quickly showed it to Akshat, who gestured for him to answer....
Vishal- Aditya! Kahan ho tum??...Kidhar chale gaye??...
But the voice on the other end wasn’t Aditya’s....Both men squinted in confusion....
Police - Hello, main Bandra police station se Inspector Shinde bol raha hoon... Aapka beta yahan police station mein hai...
Vishal’s heart sank. His voice trembled as he asked- P.. police station, K... kya hua usse??... Woh thik toh haina??....
Vishal looked at Akshat, who gently placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder...
Police- Aap yahan aa jaiye... Apke bete ke karname phone par sunke aapko kya maza aayega... police station mein aaiye....
The call disconnected, leaving both men in a tense silence...
Akshat- Aap yahi rukiye... Main usse lekr ata hu...
Vishal- Nahi, main bhi aata hoon.... Pata nahi kya baat hogi...
Akshat- Don’t worry.... I’ll sort it out...
