It was almost 3 am and umer had no intention to return home for the next day. He dialed saad's number and in 2 rings saad picked up the phone
"Assalamualaikum saad bhai!" Umer voice was very weak and tired and saad easily detected that hint of tears.
"Walaikumassalam kya hua umer, sab thik?" Saad asked worriedly.
"Ji sorry to disturb you so late..!" Umer hesitated.
"You're not disturbing me batao kya baat hai!" Saad intervene
"Aapke ghar ruk sakta hu raat!"
"Puchne ki kya baat hai aao ghar forran!"
"Yahi hu door open karein!"
Saad opened the door and saw umer with red eyes and few scratches here and there,he took him to his room and locked the door, he then forwarded him a glass of water which umer drank silently.
"Ahaan se maar khakar aarahe ho?" Saad asked gently
"Ghar se nikal diya!" Umer muttered, saad's eyes widened he knew Ahaan's temper he could do anything but not this, he didn't believed what he said.
"Aisa kya kiya tumne?" Saad asked
Umer said everything to him while crying, saad took him in embrace because he know how umer is habitual of getting comfort from ahaan when he is hurt or ill.
"Thappad maar lete...daant lete...kuch bhi punish...punishment dete par kehdiya ki shakal mat dikhao!" Umer cried in saad's embrace.
"Shh bass karo dar gaya hoga isliye aisa keh diya tumhe samajhna chahiye tha, tum kyu chale aaye rehte wahi zidd karte maafi maangte, thappad maar kar eventually baat khatam kardeta wo!" Saad said rubbing his back
"Mujhe yehi thik laga to mai chale aaya, aur ab jab tak wo nahi manaaenge mujhe mai nahi jaonga!" Umer said wiping his tears.
"Thik hai mat jao, yahi rehjana waise bhi hania ki shaadi hai kuch din me to wo chale jaegi uske room me shift hojana!" Saad said to lighten his mood.
"Itne din nahi rukne denge aapke dost aur na mai rukunga!" Umer said offended
"Khana khaoge?" Saad offered.
Umer shook his head and soon exhaustion took over and he slept beside saad.
Meanwhile zara struggled to sleep, her heart was heavy for both brothers, she quietly entered into Ahaan's room, adjusted herself on his bed, and she hugged him.
Ahaan opened his eyes and saw zara sniffing, her face buried in his chest, he gently patted her back so that she could fall asleep and both of them slept.
Next morning was sunday Ahaan and zara was having their breakfast silently, ahaan noticed zara is kind of afraid and he doesn't want the last night event to leave a lasting negative impact on her
"Thik hai zaru sab, don't worry!" Ahaan reassured forcing a smile.
"Aap bula loge bhai ko?" She asked meekly.
"Wo khud aajayega, I am sure abhi saad ke ghar hoga aur meri shikayatein kar raha hoga, adat hai uski!" Ahaan replied.
"Bhaiya mujhe dar lag raha hai wo aise hi chale gaye, pata nahi kaha honge, kab aaenge!"
Ahaan sighed knowing her worries would consume her entire day, he dailed saad's number and put the call on speaker.
Saad answered before Ahaan could speak.
"Mere paas hi hai aur thik hai, stress mat le!" Saad said.
"Roraha tha Ahaan wo ek baar toh baat karle usse!"
