THEIR LIVES AFTER THE STORM 🌟(completed🔚)

10.RAKSHA BANDHAN👫👬...(Part B)

(Hello friends I'm back. Life is not always smooth and some unexpected situations do pop up at times, it was why I couldn't update. Had low signal, a broken charger and a tab which hung up unnecessarily. Came back home just today and am updating this chap. Excuse me if you found some errors in it. I'm exhausted like nothing. But I'd update regularly from here on as I'm BACK HOME. YAY😇)

"Where is this duffer he's not picking my phone from yesterday night and he's not in his room either", somya was now searching for Rudra in the oberoi mansion murmuring to herself. It was rakhi today and prinku had been expecting rudra to come to her flat, she very well couldn't come to the mansion.

Soumya had called khanna in the morning to inquire whether rudra was at the office, to which khanna had replied that he was at the mansion. Somya had rushed to the mansion early in the morning, on not finding Rudra in his room she was now searching for him in the other parts of the mansion. As she was passing by shivaay bhaiyya's room she saw the room unlocked. From the time shivaay bhaiyya had left the mansion the room was always locked. So soumya peeked in to the room out of curiosity to find a figure sleeping on the bed there on his stomach. She entered the room to find that the figure was none other than Rudra himself. He was crying hiding his head in one of shivaay bhaiyya's pillows lying on his stomach on that fluffy mattress, he had a rakhi which he had held tightly in one of his hands.

Soumya sat beside him on the bed and slowly stroked his hair whispering

"What happened Rudra?"

Rudra gave no reply

"Rudra shh shh, say me what happened?" Asked somu stroking his head further

"I want bhaiyya and Oo" whispered rudra between his sobs still hiding his head, like a little whining child.

Soumya did not know how to console him, she knew how it was like to loose a brother, she herself had lost her only brother. Even now after many years she couldn't come up to agree that her bhai was gone.Somu too was broken today as it was raksha bandhan, but she had made up her mind to act strong only for her cry baby. Last year she had run away from home on raksha bandhan and her mom had to search for her everywhere. At last her mom had found her in the zoo where she and her brother used to go on raksha bandhan every year till the time he was alive. Even after they became teenagers they used to continue their practice of visiting the zoo every raksha bandhan. Her bhai had died of a road accident when returning from college and since then she was left alone with her mother. When ever she saw the oberoi mansion filled with relations of every type she was always overwhelmed and a tad bit jealous of rudy. Soumu had always wondered how they managed to live so peacefully. She thought the oberois were a perfect family. But now everything was over. Whatever she had imagined and her theory on perfect family was all blown in the air. 

Her eyes started watering all of a sudden on thought of those memories and her raksha bandhan resolution of acting strong, which was only a day old was all gone. She too started sobbing.

"Somu why are you crying now?" Asked rudra who had now brought his head out of his secure hiding place, on hearing a sobbing sound that was obviously not his.

"Nothing rudra, just some memories" somu said meekly and added "seeing you cry worsens it more"

"Seeing you cry makes me cry more too somu" Rudra added in his week voice

"So let both of us stop crying together okay" somu added and then both of them wiped away their tears and Rudra got up from his sleeping position and sat on the bed with his legs crossed facing sumo.
