Past in Italics
Arjun's Pov

I rejected her.I broke her trust.I broke her heart.How could I?I just want to die.I didn't want to go to my house.I can't face mom now.It's hard for me to digest the truth.

I went to the same place where we confessed our feelings....
I started wandering like a nomadic.

I want peace,I want to be alone,I am feeling empty inside.I want to die,felt like someone is tearing away my soul from me.

I am standing at the shore watching those big waves.I am feeling the absolute emptiness,the sound is truly trying hard to give some peace to my wavering soul.

"So!"I heard a very familiar voice.

"Prajwal!"I turned and saw him standing there and looking at me devilishly.

"What?!"I am shocked.

"So,I won the bet!"He is so happy.

"What?!"I looked at him angrily.

"Yes!"He smirked.

"Really!"I looked at her angrily.

"Yes!"I nodded.

"That's the thing!"He smiled wickedly.

"Shut up!"I couldn't resist my urge to punch him and I did it.

"Ahh!"He fell down.

"Arjun"I turned at the voice and shocked to see Dad.

"What is going on?!"Dad looked at us both one after the other.

"Nothing!"I looked away.

"Nothing!"Dad raised his eyebrow.

"Prajwal!"I spelt slowly.

"Sorry"He hugged me.

Present

"Arjun"Dad called me dragging me out from those memories.

"Dad"I turned slowly towards him hiding my tears.

"Prajwal"Dad sat beside me and tapped my shoulder.

"I heard he has changed a lot!"He smiled.

"I don't think so!"I looked away.

"What would be mom's reaction?"I looked straight into his eyes.

"She would be really happy if he has changed"Dad sighed.

"Mother's Love"I mumbled.

"He is your Brother,My Son,Our blood,Don't be too tough towards him"Dad is hiding his tears.

"Society thinks I am the only son for you both"I frowned.

"Its not your fault!"He hugged me.

"You chose your family,I am proud of you"He whispered in my ear.

"Love you Both!"I hugged him tightly.

"What?!"Mom appeared from no where.

"Prajwal?!"She looked at us one after the other in an utter shock.

"Yes!"I nodded.

"Have you seen him?Talked with him?"She is so eager to know.

"Yes!"I wrapped her shoulder with my arm.

"We want you to be healthy"Dad smiled at her.

"I have to!"She smiled heartily.

I looked at them both felt a bit wierd,What would Prajwal do now?I am really afraid now.I want mom to be safe and sound.

Prajwal's Pov

"I want to see Mom"I looked at Brunda.

"I am sorry!"She is hiding her pale face.

"Its all my fault!"I felt sad.

"I want my family back!"I caught her hand.

"I am truly helpless"She looked passionately.

"I love you!"I should thank her for trusting me.

"You stood beside me when whole world abandoned me"I said sincerely.

"I love you"She whispered in my ear hugging me back.

"Huu..Hu'..."We heard some one clearing the throat.

"Priya!"Bruda is blusing.

"Oops!Sorry!"Priya is chuckling.

"What?!"I felt a bit awkward.

"Nothing!"Priya shook her head twice.

"I want to see mom once!"I looked at Priya seriously.

"I will help you!"Priya smiled a bit.

"So nice of you!"Brunda ran towards her and hugged Priya.

"I have a plan!"Priya smiled widely.

"What?!"I asked her knotting my eyebrows.

"Wait?!"She took her Cell and started calling someone.

"Mom!"She spoke softly after a second.

"I have a huge surprise for you"She took a minute and said with an evident excitement.

"Chill Thrill,This evening!"She shouted after a second.

"Love you,Mama!"She gave a kiss to the other person on phone,Her mom and cut the call.

"Yipee!"Priya smiled widely looking at me with a proud face.

"Today,Evening 5-30,At chill thrill,Be ready!"She winked at me.

"Thank you!"I smiled instantly.

"Thanks"Brunda clapped like a child.

"Love you!"Brunda mouthed to Priya.

"Pleasure is mine!"Priya continued to smile.

"Drama queen!"I pinched her cheek.

"Yes!"We all laughed at her answer.
