Its been two days since Karan, Sid and Kusum had left for their hometown and five days since Akshay had. All of us were sad, and Kusum... she didn't want to go.
But today Akshay and his father are coming to meet Shruti's parents and Sakshi's parents to our house. Akshay will be coming too. Cause he wants answers. And he deserves them.
Seems like his father is not as bad as he seemed to be. That man has held so many things inside him, that made him cold.
In the evening Sakshi and her parents arrived. Shruti told me that she and Akshay also have left for our house. Her parents don't know about Akshay's mother and sister's tragic living. All of us were talking in the dining area when the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it." I said and went to open the door.
"Oh hell I missed you." I hugged Akshay. "Me too." he replied.
"Does your father know?" I asked.
"No. At first I want to know the reason of her leaving and also if Sakshi remembers me or..." He left the sentence hanging. I and Shruti exchanged glances. We know it's hard for him to confront his mother and sister after so long. Apparently when he had thought of them to be dead.
"Come."I said and started walking.
Shruti hugged him and he inhaled on her neck. "We are with you." Shruti said. "I know, and I need that." He replied and kissed her temple.
"It's my friends, Shruti and Akshay." I announced to everyone. Hearing his name aunt Ruby (Shakshi and Akshay's Mother) looked at the doorway.
Shruti and Akshay entered and greeted my Parents. Bhaiya hugged Akshay.
"Glad to see you pal." Bhaiya greeted him. During these last three years bhaiya has changed alot. My friends are also his friends now. As he's 5 years elder than all of us except Akshay, becaise he is 3 years older than us, bhaiya hangs out with him the most.
"Bhabhi, Uncle, Auntie this is Shruti and he's.... Akshay Singh, they are my friends." I deliberately said Akshay's full name emphasizing. And as we had expected Sakshi's mother and father and Sakshi herself tensed and stared at him. Akshay was solely looking at his mother. He seemed lost, as if he's here physically but not mentally. Shruti said hello to everyone. I nudged her to look at him.
"Akshay..." Shruti called out.
"Huh.. Yes?" Akshay replied a moment later.
"We're going to Sumi's room. Come." She raised her hand towards him to hold.
"Come bhabhi. Bhaiya." I called them both and Sakshi stood up from the sofa and came towards Akshay.
"Hi... Akshay right?" She asked uncertain and Akshay nodded. "You look familiar." She said. It means she hadn't forgotten her brother.
Then why she never looked for them?
Aunt Ruby also stood up and came closer she took in the appearance of Akshay and gulped before speaking. "Hello so.. "She was going to say son but Akshay cut her mid sentence.
"Hello Mrs. Dhanjani." He very slowly said. Aunt Ruby took a step back with a horrified look on her face. The very moment she knew that it was indeed her son. And he knows. He knows that she's his mother.
Shruti held his hand and literally dragged him upstairs to my room. Sakshi threw a few uncertain glances at her parents and at Akshay.
"You okay?" I asked bhabhi when I saw her staring at Akshay. Shruti and Akshay turned towards her and bhaiya came to her.
"Hey, is everything alright?" He asked cupping her face. She slowly nodded but then walked towards Akshay.
"What's your...father's name?"She asked him hesitatingly.
"Rajdeep Singh." Akshay replied and Sakshi inhaled a sharp breath and walked backward bhaiya got a hold on her before she fell.
"Sakshi." He looked at her then at Akshay. "What's going on here?"
"How... " Sakshi opened and closed her mouth like a fish but couldn't utter a word. Akshay walked to her.
"The same name as your father." He said looking into her eyes. A single tear rolled down her eyes.
"What? But your father is Mr. Arihant Dhanjani, right?" Bhaiya asked.
"He's not my biological father." Sakshi replied very slowly and looked at Bhaiya. "My father is Mr. Rajdeep Singh." She said and looked at Akshay.
