He heard a voice
'Cheeku'
He opened his eyes to see Bhawana and Vikas there..
Vikas and Bhawana looked at Vi teary eyes. Their heart ached seeing Vi in that condition. They never thought they will see Vi like that.
Vi looked at them. He don't know what to say. Just few flashes of his childhood played infront of eyes..
Jayanti: maaaa seee this chuha messed my hairbandss
Vi: sholllyyyyyyyyy meleko laga its balaaaaaaaaaaa saaaaa lubbel band. So issiliye main uss shey apne bats and ball ko baandh diya. Papaa bole na ki samaan faila kal nhi lakhna chahiye. Isshiliye.
Vikas: and he tore my pocket money ke notes he wanted to dance
Vi: aley kal ek uncle ula lahe the na paishe shaadi mein. Papa bole jab mele paashh paishe aayenge toh ula lena. Pal meleko toh aapne one note diya only. Toh main ushko faal kal dance kalke aa gayaa....😎😎. Maine ek note se dekho kitne notes bana diya.
Vi chuckled remembering those moments. He looked in the eyes of siblings to find any hate but no he couldn't find that.
They were having guilt and pain.
Vikas wipped his tears softly and caressed Vi's cheeks softly
Vikas: cheeku
Jayanti: we are sorry bacche. We are extremely sorry
She held Vi's hand crying
Jayanti: humein maaf krde beta hum...hum...
Jayanti started taking deep breaths due to crying.
Vikas held her. Mahi passed her glass of water.
Vikas made her drink water rubbing her back
Vi: di...didu aap baitho please. Please calm down. And its okay. I am not angry.
Jayanti and Vikas looked at Vi
Vi smiled at them
Vi: whatever is done is done. We can't undo that. I...I just wanted one thing if u guys are okay..
Vikas: bol na baccha we will give u anything u will ask for.
Vi: ca...can u give...give me my locket back.
For the first time Vi's voice shaked in this much time. For the first time he stuttered.
Vikas looked down. Vi smiled may be somewhere guessing the answer looking at his face.
Vi: its okay. I...I just wanted aise hi..
Jayanti: tu mera lele.
Vi: nhi didu. Its priceless. Mumma papa ki blessings hain yeh. Aapke paas hai sambhal kr rakho.
Vikas hugged him tightly crying badly
Vikas: sorry cheeku. I got blinded because of anger and...and hatred. I forgot ki tu mera bhai hai, I forgot ki woh sirf mere parents nhi tere parents bhi hai, I forgot sirf meri, didu ki mehnat nhi teri bhi mehnat thi ma ke naam ki company kholne mein. Infact sabse zyada dera contribution tha. Main...main sab bhool gaya apne gusse mein
Vi just patted his back softly
Vi: koi baat nhi bhaiya. Hota hai. Aap please didu ko sambhalo. (Whispers) She was closest to ma. She is emotionally weakest point of her life. Aap le jaao unko. Take care of her. Please
Vikas looked at Vi teary. He never thought Vi will be like this. He was not his cheeku he knew. His cheeku used to whine whole day roaming around with puffed cheeks if someone used to scold him
