The teddy bear was soak with tears and her pillow was wet too. She was silently crying with hiccups and her eyes were all puffy and red now.
"Mai dinner nahi karoonga ghar pe, I have to go somewhere dinner bhe wahin karoonga" Raghav said to Divya and she nodded
"Mai aata hoon" Rahul said excusing himself, The way Ania was soo silent wasnt setting well to him
He made his way upstairs
He slowly opened the door and entered anias room
"Anu" he called out as she hiccuped and he immediately rushed to her side
"Kia hua hai?" He asked as she was a crying mess
He sat next to her as she wiped her tears,but her face was still red and her eyes were all puffy
"Kia hua hai?" He asked again, pulling her closer to him as worry took over him
She hugged him tightly burying her face into his midriff and continued to cry
Rahuls worry gre with each passing second, he couldn't remember scolding her or punishing her
But more than that, the way she was crying only increased his concern as she was a complete mess
"Ania" he called out softly as he gently caressed her hairs
"Shhh bass look at me" he rubbed her back trying to calm her
"Idhar dekho , look at bhaiya" he gently pulled her out of his embrace and made her look into his eyes
"Bass" he said wiping her tears and gave her a glass of water
"Piyo" he brought the glass near her lips and she took a few sips
"Kia hua?" He asked once she was a little calm and tears again filled her eyes
"Mujhe bataogi nahi toh Mujhe Kaise pata chalega Anu" he said softly and he wiped her tears from his thumb.
"I miss baba" she hiccuped and Rahul went all silent for a moment
"Mujhe bhot yaad aa rahe hain bhaiya i want him back." She said looking at him and he just looked at her
He can do anything for her except this.
"Bhaiya" she called out
"G" he looked at her giving her a weak smile
"Can we go back ? And aap Mujhe usdin daant k mana kar dein k nahi Jana bahir baarish ho rahi hai" she said crying
"Bass Anu" he took her in a hug as his own eyes misted
"I miss him bhaiya baba ki jagah koi nahi le sakta I'll be left alone" she said and Rahul gently pulled her out of his embrace
"Kisne bola you'll be left alone" he asked with hint of anger in his tone
"Sach Bol rahi hoon" she mumbled
"Not everyone can stay with me forever bhaiya. Aap apni life mai busy hojaogay" she said as she hiccuped
"Meri life revolves around my family aur meri family main bhot specific log hain whom I love the most , usmai sabse pehle mere liye meri Beti hai" he said holding her hands
"Beti?" she said
"Yes, beti" he said confidently looking into her eyes
