"I  hope so...  But bhaiya...  What is more important in a relationship?  Money? Time?  Or love?" I asked him which was in my mind.

"Why such question Mausam?" bhaiya asked knitting his eyebrows.

"Look at Akshay, his mother left his father cause he didn't  have time for her,  though he loved her and fullfilled all her wishes and on the other hand,  it's Kusum, her mother isn't happy cause her father don't have any legacy or heritage. I'm just thinking what will we do? What will I want from my relation?" I said when Bhaiya cupped my face with his hands.

"Don't you dare compare yourself with others.  You're my sister and I know you'll never do such thing for yourself only. You'll not leave anyone behind." He smiled at me. "Money don't defines love Mausam but money defines  life. Without it you can't live a life you'll just pass it. And for Akshay's parents. There was everything. I admit his father loved his family but sometimes... You need to show what you feel. If you keep it in your heart only, no one will know.  I can be the best example in that case." He exhaled and laughed bitterly. I memorized that time when we weren't the perfect sister -brother. "I didn't hate you but because of my lack of affection you thought that I do."

"I'm sorry." I said cause I misunderstood my bhaiya.

"No Mausam.  It's ok.  I behaved like a total jerk. I don't blame anyone now.  But what I was saying is that..  You need to make others feel what you feel for them. Look at our parents. Shruti's parents.  They're business person still they give us time, they travel across oceans but we know that they love us more than anything." I was listening to him sincerely.  " but you my dear are a good person no need to think about these things okay?" He said sternly to me and smiled I returned his smile with a nod.

"Go to sleep enough happened for one day hmm. Good night." He left my room closing the door behind him.  I went to bed and called Karan.  Its been a really long day. 

"Hello." He picked up at 5th ring and I closed my eyes in pleasure of his voice.

"You there baby?" He said again and I realized that I hadn't replied to him yet.  "Yeah." I said slowly.

"Faning over my voice huh?" He asked teasingly. "Cocky much!" I replied and he laughed a little.

Oh god... This boy will be the death of me....

"So...  How did it go?" He asked. He knew what was going to happen here.  I told him the whole thing and we talked about many things.

"Karan.  Do you know anything about Kusum?  Me and Shruti had been trying to call her but it went straight on voicemail." I said feeling something off when he exhaled loudly.

"Someone told her mother about Sid."

"What?" I asked flabbergasted.

"Yeah.  Today Sid came to me and said that her mother is keeping her at home. I went to her house, she's not her usual self Mausam. Her mother is with her every minute."

"You mean... she's keeping an eye on her!"

"Hmm..  Sid is looking very hard for a job. I told him to join in my company but he's so adamant on proving himself in her mother's eyes."

I woke up with a ache on my neck.  "Ohhh." I groaned. I don't know when I fell asleep that too in a sitting position.  I checked the time and it was 6 a.m. so I decided to sleep some more a little comfortably.

But there were many thoughts running in my mind. Akshay,  Sakshi, Kusum,  Sid...all of there's life is in such a jeopardy. I don't know how to help them.

But I need to contact Kusum.  She is grounded at her house for no reason. She and Sid don't deserve this.
