Life with You

Standing for you

'Do you think we made a right move by choosing Mayank for our son?' Mr Sharma whispered to his wife.

'Of course! Mayank is the sweetest boy and the perfect match for our Abhishek.' Mrs Sharma said confidently.

'I agree with you about Mayank bit our son is like a cold devil and Mayank is like an angel.'

'Tussi keh rhe ho mera beta rakshas hai??' Mrs Sharma glared at her husband.

'No honey. But look at the way Abhi treats Mayu - Coldly. Still that sweet boy never complains.'

Mrs Sharma could not argue about that since she also agrees with her husband. She looked at Mayank who was working in kitchen while humming some song.

Abhishek also came down with a file in his hand and checking the time in his wrist watch.

'I will not be having breakfast Mayank. I'm getting late for today's meeting.' Abhi said coldly.

'See, your son.' Mr Sharma mocked playfully to Mrs Sharma.

Mayank sighed but still turned towards him with a smile. He gave him the lunchbox. Abhi raised his eyebrows.

'Your breakfast. Have it, once you get time.' Mayank said.

Abhi took it and said hesitantly to Mayank, 'Khyaal rakhna apna... I'll try to.. Come early today.'

He took his parents' blessings and walked out.

'Yes, my son.' Mrs Sharma said proudly, making Mr Sharma chuckle.

In the evening, after informing his in-laws Mayank went to mall to buy some necessary things for home.
He was done buying groceries and other items, when his eyes fell on a shirt inside a shop. It was a plain shirt of lavender colour. He imagined Abhi in it, thinking how good he would look in it, blush occurred on his cheeks. Walking in, he searched for someone he could take help from.

Suddenly someone pulled him inside one of the changing room there, covering Mayu's mouth with his one hand, preventing him from screaming.

'Who the hell are you!' Mayank tried to yell.

'Ssshhh.. No yelling babyboy or you would have to pay for it.' Other one said. He wore a black cap and also a black mask, so Mayu couldn't see his face.

'What do you want.. Let me go!'

'You know it very well. I want you...'

'I have got a husband! You bloody rascal!'

'Oh don't worry about him. He won't know anything.'

Mayank squeezed his eyes shut, made a fist and with full strength, punched the man. He gasped in pain. Mayu seizing the opportunity, ran away from there straight to his home.

The moment he reached home, he dashed to his room leaving his in-laws confused. Tears flowing from his eyes, he cried his heart out in the room. He decided not to tell anybody about this.
What if they felt disgusted? He washed his face properly,, making sure he doesn't look like he cried few minutes ago.

'Kya hua puttar?' Mrs Sharma asked concerned, when Mayank came down.

'Kuch nhi mummy ji. Bas thodi tabiyat Theek nhi lag rhi thi.' Mayank lied.

'Toh tu rest kar aaj, dinner main bana dungi.' Mrs Sharma said getting up.

'Nhi,nhi. Main bna lunga, aap tension na le.'

Mayank went in the kitchen and started preparing for dinner. In the meantime, Abhi also came back from his office surprising his parents.

'Hayo rabba! Aaj inni chheti?' Mrs Sharma asked.
