After 3 weeks

Night time

Vishnu rubbed his chest roughly, his lungs ....

Red liquid filled the floor, when he coughed, terrifying him. He bit his lip, to stop himself from crying badly but failed.

Tears flowed down his eyes uncontrollably and he started sobbing.

"Maa..."

Vishnu POV

I pressed my lips shut , to prevent blood. The door banged loudly " VISHNU! VISHNU" Abhimanyu bhaiya yelled from downstairs. My tears aren't stopping.

I looked beside me to see only deep red blood. "C.coming" I said with a hoarse voice.

I got up, and changed my shirt and cleaned up the floor.

"Vishnu come down" Abhimanyu bhaiya said again with a loud voice.

Quickly changing my tshirt into a blue hoodie I ran down.

"J.ji b.bhai"

Bhaiya looked at me furiously and twisted my ear hardly.
"Where the hell were you? I am calling you for the 2nd time. Dare you respond late"

"S.s...so.....sorry"

"Are you done with the house cleanin?" He asked dangerously.

"B..bhaiya....i.i..."i stuttered not knowing what to say.

"Ahhh.... p..please...." I said

I started crying badly as he put he lighter behind my ear and as well as twisting it

End of POV

Abhimanyu rolled up his sleeves furiously and punched Vishnu on his face. He took out a rod from under the sofa and hit Vishnu on his nape. "What the fuck is wrong with you" he
Heated up the rod. Vishnu was bewildered, he suddenly jointed his hands infront of Abhi and fell on his knees asking him not to beat him. Abhimanyu's eyes widened as he picked up Vishnu, whose cheek had a bruise and made him sit and the left.
Vishnu bewildered looked up at the rod. He touched the back skin of his ear and saw red drops of ear, his skin peeled when Abhimanyu hit him with the rod.

Vishnu cleaned up the living room, and the slightest dust despite his illness. He could not bare Abhimanyu's torture again.
The door crackled, opening, and Adarsh walked in. Adarsh saw vishnu doing chores, and guessed the maid took a holiday.

"Vishnu Pani leke aao" Adarsh said and sat on the sofa loosening his buttons of his shirt hu. Vishnu came down with a glass of water. Adarsh took the glass and drank, when his watch fell down from his hand.

Vishnu immediately bent down to pick it, Adarsh observing the dried blood behind his ear but cares nonetheless

Adarsh freshened and went to Abhimanyu's room finding his brother in the balcony.

"Adu theek hai ?" Abhimanyu questions on seeing Adarsh. Adarsh hung his hand around Abhimanyu's shoulder, "haa"

Abhimanyu's worry still did not cloud from his face.
"Bhaiya mai sach mai theek hu" Adarsh assured. Abhimanyu hugged him tightly, today Adarsh had an asthama attack in his car, when he met with a small accident. Abhimanyu cleared his throat and backed off after a while dusting himself, adu rolled his eyes at his anti social brother.

"Itna bhi frustrate mat hua karo"

They both to talked for a while and went downstairs where Vishnu was, he was doing the laundary, ironing clothes. His eyes were flowing tears, those fell on the ironed clothes. His skinwas extremely pale, not that of beauty but if stress. The last time he had even a bite of wheat was 3 weeks ago.

Adarsh cleared his throat to gain attention, Vishnu flinched hard and startled badly. They made him do all house works when their careless maids took a holiday.

"B.b.bhai" Vishnu said, there wasn't a word he uttered without stuttering infront of them.

"T.that" Vishnu wanted to tell them about his health, but he was sure they wouldn't care. There were times when he had been hospitalized and none of his brothers ever showed. There had been many instances when they would mercilessly beat him with a rod to remove their own frustrations.

He silenced not being what to say next. He waited untill they had their dinner, he never was allowed to have dinner beforehand, but now he did not even eat since 3 hard weeks.
He didn't know till when this torture will continue,
for all say -Desire is the cause of suffering. If desire is stopped. Suffering will also stop.

After hour

Vishnu came with a glass of sprinkled water, for what Adarsh had asked for he was shivering badly. He knocked on the bedroom door and came in. Adarsh was doing his work on his laptop. Vishnu forwarded his hand , his hand hit Adarsh resulting in the water to fall down. Adarsh got up and Vishnu went back scared to death, his breathing was unstable. He fell into a black hole, with him begging Adarsh to not beat him. Adarsh's anger was in another cloud, Vishnu's breathing became absent , a cloth formed up in his lung.

Adarsh haunted and pulled Vishnu and gave a tight slap, . "Fcking kill yourself. I'm tired of dealing with you, why can't you do anything properly. Why don't you die" Adarsh said angrily not knowing how badly these words affected the 15 year and old,

Adarsh failed to realise the gravity , when Vishnu made mistakes due to fear. The trembled heart tightens whenever he even saw them and is always in the fear of punishment. Adarsh immediately left Vishnu when he saw the breathing. Vishnu's crying hardened when he had a panick attack and eventually fainted on the cold floor.

After a while his eyes opened, recalling the incidents of his past, and walked there his room. He walked to his room emotionlessly opened his book.
