8 months later

With a wide smile AB welcomed his friend outside the jail. After the completion of imprisonment, Vishal looked all over the yard for someone, but there was none but AB, who came to pick him. With a warm hug he welcomed Vishal and took him to the car.

"Is Cheeku OK ?" Vishal asked eagerly tieing the seatbelt. AB answered with enough positivity to reduce a brother's tension - "Yeah, both he and Akki are fine buddy. Your nephew has learnt to sit and crawl"

"Park the car near market, I'll buy so many toys for him. Can I ask something AB ? Cheeku never came to meet, neither today, is he still angry with me ?"

"Oh come on Vishal, he's cooking all of your favourite dishes that's why didn't come. And you know how much he worried about you ? Every single time he thinks about your health, pushes me to meet you, everyday cleans your room, allows nobody even including Akki to touch your things, scares him - mamu bohoth pitaii kharengey!"

With AB's mimicking Virat or the image of his household, Vishal smiled whole heartedly, after long. Single second seemed like long days in eagerness to see his little brother and nephew.

"Maa...muh" A cute, undressed baby crawled on Vishal's feet as soon as he step down into his house. Tears of happiness blessed the little boy as Vishal picked him up quickly. "Mamu ? How did he recognise me AB ?"

"How he couldn't ? His papa always reminds him mamu aayengey mamu aayengey... So he knows, one day a new person will come who is his mamu"

Vishal filled the soft body with a lot of kisses till then. The sweet giggling echoed in his ears like heaven's tune.

"But what is this Akki ? Where is your dress ? Is it a way of welcoming mamu ?" The foreigner softly wiped the droplets of water from his golumolu hips, "oh! You just bathed and directly crawled here without sponging ? So noughty you are!"

"Akaay! Nahaye ki nahi ?" Virat came outside of kitchen, whole house is filled with the aroma of delicious food. No doubt Virat arranged a splendid lunch today. But Vishal's stomach filled with his Cheeku's wide smile on his appearance.

"Bhaiya..."

The gap ended between two brothers. A lot of complaints fell from Virat's mouth as his brother became skinny, weak... And a pile of promises too to make him stronger again by serving all nutrients in meal. AB got emotional along with the brothers seeing their reunion. They didn't break the hug until a question occurred in Vishal's mind.

"Cheeku, you were in kitchen, then who was washing Akki ? Mamu akela nahana seekh gaya kya ?"

At that time someone came running from the washroom's direction with towels and little garments in hands, calling Akaay's name. Vishal's expression changed instantly as he knows the voice. Rohit!! He stopped in front of Vishal, pierced by the firing eyes.

"What's he doing here Cheeku ?"

Virat's face also darkened to face the upcoming terror. "I...I will tell you bhaiya..."

"Get lost Rohit Sharma!" Vishal shouted during Virat's blabbering. The emotional atmosphere of the house quickly turned into chaotic as Akaay started crying with the shout and Rohit tried to console him who had lowered his head just a few seconds ago. But Vishal angrily shouted again ordering him to staw away from the boy.

"What's going on Cheeku ? You promised me..."

"Vishal..." AB finally took the responsibility of being middle man though he also got intarrogated for Rohit's presence there. First he took Akaay from him and gave to Virat, then dragged his friend inside a room.
