"L.Its h.hurting" 10 year old Vishnu cried, he was scared, he was helpless and hopeless at the moment.

He hated the belt, adarsh took a spined whip from the centre table.

"Tum dance chodoge!" Adarsh said.

"n-nahi. Please" Vishnu argued, building up courage.

"why don't you understand!? We have a reputation. Dance is a cheap thing. I can never let you persuade it" Abhimanyu chided

Vishnu shook his head vigorously.

"Fine" adarsh said

"kneel down and remove your hoodie" adarsh said , in a no nonsense tone.

Vishnu wanted to resist, but he knew better, so quietly came from shivering. Still his eyes held up hope unaware of what was to happen next, he scanned his brothers with doe eyes which could melt anyone.

He shivering badly like a dry leaf, went and removed his shirt, exposing his bare back.

All he wanted as a comfort of someone, an embrace to cry in, tell him its okay.

Adarsh started hitting him with very much full force without listening to his pleads, and crying.

Vishnu was crying hardly to stop with doe eyes, but they continued. According to them whatever they were doing was right.

"count! I'm starting again or else"

"f.five"
...

"twenty.. seven"
...

"fourty"
....

"F.fifty"
...





"S. SIXTY F.FIVE...please please stop" Vishnu said crying a mess, he was clutching his hands tightly, as hard as it was possible, and was in a valuravle state.

He kept screaming and hissing with every hit, Adarsh remained firm. He was sure he was not going to let Vishnu attend those classes.

Adarsh was blinded in anger, he was very angry.

Vishnu endured all the beatings, crying silently, for once he can handle Adarsh's Strict nature , but even he want a tiny bit of love.

"h.hundred f.five.." Vishnu said, crying loudly.

That was the last stoke before he fell into the ground.

His back was bleeding extremely, and needed immediate medical attention, but what Adarsh said widened his eyes in terror.

This scared and shook Vishnu to the core, he can never go against them.

They had no Idea what they had done.

They left him on the cold floor, and went. Trails of blood were flowing on the floor.

Even in the tiny bit of snow, flowed red blood river.

The guards present couldn't help but close their eyes tightly, at their young master's pain.

After the two brothers went, when one of the security guard went and wrapped Vishnu's body in his coat.

He couldn't help, but feel extremely bad as well., how Vishnu was shivering in the floor, laying and clutching to himself.

He was almost blacked out, and kept wimpering in pain, and went into darkness.

Vishnu whimpered, "ammaaaa!(mother)...s.s.sometimes I.I th.th.think, why don't I just die" he cried harder, his breath was uneven.

Tears were not stopping, he kept wiping them, his whole body was in pain. For god's sake he was just 10 year old

"n.neel b.haiyaa!" He kept crying taking his name, but he was no where.

Who was there to comfort him?

He was very much tired prior, and on top of that a punishment. His whole back was bleeding.

"AHH!" Vishnu screamed, he was tired.

The guards himself hissed, and took back his coat.
At the end Vishnu's body fell, with him closing his eyes reliving himself.

But a guard then throwed him against the wall, startling his souland only causing him more conflict.

In the flight

"STOP-" Adarsh yelled, he got up and searched for a bottle of water, gulping the water after finding.

The further memories were faded, he still has nightmares of that night, how he treated Vishnu that day, how he left no form that day, .

"oh! I do not want to remember further" He said like mad surprisingly.

They hurted Vishnu uncountable times after that, he would be bruised and sick, begging them for forgiveness.

Still, they under the influence of business rules did everything to make Vishnu leave his passion, his hobby.

Those silent screams still haunt him. How hoped Vishnu seemed the next day.

But still, apart from his nightmares.

"What happened are you alright?" Abhimanyu ran to him, rubbing his shoulders.

Adarsh's eyes went teary, as he recalled his parents abandoning him, in his thought.

"Hey! What's wrong?" Abhimanyu asked, holding his chin up softly. Adarsh freed himself, and hugged his knees, explaining to Abhimanyu about the situation.

"Shh...why are you worried? He deserves it, actually more for troubling out parents. Don't forget what we've went through. "
Abhimanyu explained softly.

Adarsh nodded. Abhimanyu and he both went to sleep, ofcourse it was their private aeroplane. They'll have as many mattresses as they would like surely, some soft and squishy.

Adarsh fear for once again came true.

# Flashback #

It was morning yet, the sun has risen giving birth to birds in the sky, a fresh demur to the surroundings and a pleasant morning. Life outside seemed set, free. In the bundled forest across the river, there was the Singhania Mansion.

Adarsh entered in the basement with a crack, the walls were pointing black.

He cracked his neck , and went and sat on a chair which the guards placed in the centre.

Vishnu was infront of him, shivering badly. his voice shuttered.

But today he had no idea why Adarsh was here.

Adarsh couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Vishnu was bruised badly. He had red scratches on his arms and blue welts.

He was still in the same position, hissing. How come they never felt mercy.

Vishnu couldn't think straight, he started crying loudly like a toddler.
