Current time:-

Aryan's summer holidays had started and Akshara had enrolled him to an art class. He was not interested at all but he didn't have a choice. It was kind of day care too, so it was convenient for Akshara to pick him after work from there.

Akshara was searching really hard for some different job preferably outside India. She didn't want to take any chance and wanted to leave as soon as possible before Aryan and Abhimanyu could possibly know about each other. She couldn't afford to let that happen at any cost.

One day, Aryan was strolling near the main gate of his art classes. He was getting bored there and on the pretext of going to washroom, he came outside. The watchman told him to stay there for 5 minutes as he had to go to washroom. Aryan nodded his head and sat on the watchman's chair looking outside.

It was afternoon time and hardly any vehicles were passing by on main road due to hot and humid weather. It was more than 15 minutes of him sitting there and again he became bored. He was about to go from there but suddenly his eyes fell on the passing by vehicle and the person sitting inside the backseat of the car.

His eyes became wide with shock and happiness after recognising that person.
It was the same person who had given him his identity card and told him to keep that card safe to keep admission in his football academy in future. But Aryan had lost that card somewhere and this is why his mood was off from last few days.
He tried to search that card everywhere but couldn't find it. He was afraid to ask about it to his mother because she would have scolded him very bad. He didn't even know anything about that person to request him for another card.

His dreams got shattered once again and right now when he saw that person again, he felt like his broken dreams got wings again. He opened the small gate and ran behind that car without caring about anything in the world. He kept shouting while running behind the car to stop it. His tiny legs were too slow for a speedy car but still he didn't lose hope and kept running with all his energy despite the summer heat of the peak afternoon.

The driver of the car saw a kid running behind them in the rear view mirror. Firstly he thought maybe that kid was running just for fun but when he saw the kid falling on the road, he immediately stopped the car. The passenger at the back seat who was taking a nap with his headphones on, felt the sudden jerk and almost fell down from his seat.

"What the hell?Who stops car like this?"
He scolded the driver.

" Sir, a kid was running behind our car and fell down on the road. We should go and check on him as there is no one else on the road." Driver explained to the man.

" What?" That man said being shocked and opened the car door to check and indeed one small kid was lying on the road just behind their car.

Both the men immediately came out from the car and ran behind to check that kid.When they reached near to him,
that kid was unconscious and his head was bleeding.

That man was Abhimanyu and he was shocked to see the same kid whom he met at the school that day. He immediately knelt down despite having the nausea due to the blood. He picked up that kid and ran towards the car. Driver started the car and soon they reached hospital. After reaching the hospital, he took that kid to emergency and told driver to inform his parents after handling the I'd card to the driver which he took out from kid's pocket in a hurry and didn't even looked at it.

Doctors asked him about the kid but apart from his initial name Abhimanyu didn't have any idea, so he told doctors to start his treatment and soon his parents will come. Doctors agreed and took Aryan in emergency room. Meanwhile, Abhimanyu went outside and took a fresh t-shirt from his gym bag from his car and changed his blood strained shirt.
Blood, hospital and all the medical things were his weaknesses and he couldn't handle them easily. He was feeling like he will get admitted in the hospital if he will keep wearing that shirt for 1 more minute. He washed off his hands and face too to feel better.
