Niki...(Completed & Editing)

chp 6 "dream"

I came home from clg with Karan, as Nik got some work. Again! I was the one who was blabbring the whole ride and he was not speaking anything. We reached home. Still no response.

You better say something or I am going to rip you head and feed it to the stray dogs. Karan was sitting scilently for past 1 hour. After I that incident it’s the second time he is doing this. The silent treatment.

“hey” I decided to cut the scilence “wanna join for a coffee?” most stupid question of the year. He don’t like coffee you stupid. “I mean lemon tea.”I corrected immediately.

“if you make it, lazy” he finally spoke with a short smile.

“sure, come in” with that I opned the door and placed my bag on table and went to kitchen making lemon tea for him.

I saw him from the kitchen island while making tea, he looked sad, something is bothering him.

“here it is” I placed the lemon tea for him and tea for myself in front table near sofa where he is busy flipping tv channel.

“what happened? I know you are worried. Is everything alright?”I asked him.

He looked at me and then after fininsing the tea said something which made me confused.

“I am going to USA next year for my post graduation.” Just one sentence.

This is reason for his sadness? God! Do something of this little half minded man. He should be happy. Atleast I am.

“it’s a good news. Wow!! I am so happy for you.” I exclaimed happiely and that when he opned his mouth to say something I threw my self him for a tight hug. Yup I was really happy. USA that’s too for PG its like dream come true.

I pulled myself back and saw him there was not even a single sign of joy in his eyes. Being together for years I can see n read him like a open book.

“why are you not happy? You wanted to study abroud right? Then?” I asked him.
“Niki I don’t want to leave this place. I want to be here only with you-you all. Yes I once I dremt about being abroad but now I am happy here.” He explained.

“then don’t go. As simple as that. Our university too have PG course you can do it here.” I answered with a smile.

Its when front door swang open and I saw nik coming inside rotating his car keys in his index finger.

“hey Karan how’s you, long time no see?” he asked by getting him in a bro hug.

“just went to char minar watching a little cat walking near it” he replied back.

“You too sucks. Its in the morning when you both met, and char minar seriously?? Grow up boys” I gave them a glare which they mistook and burst out laughing.

Karan was laughing rolling on the floor, my mind just travelled a little back when he was sad, I don’t want him to be sad he looks good when he smile or even if is laughing with my bro on some jokes which I was totally excluded out by them saying boys private talk.  I went up in my room for doing my assignment leaving 2 halfminded people down.

“ok, I am leaving , bye.” were the word I listen while I was upstairs doing English assignment for both of us.

“meet you tomorrow” I shouted from room so he can hear.

“he already left Niki, you are late” nik yelled from down.

“sleep now its already 10:30, you need to wake up early” I said focusing on my laptop secarcing some content.

“that too wake you up!! goodnight” now it was me who giggled. My little innocent brother. Love you lot nik.after mom and dad decided to leave us and live in hometown he has taken care of me. Each and every single thing. He never left me alone nor made me sad about anything. He manages me and my life so easily that I don’t feel that my mom n dad don’t live withdream
I watched the clock struck 12 and my head too was get dissy so I closed my laptop and I don’t know when sleep overtook me and I  slept.

After graduation party we left to airport as Karan was leaving to USA for PG. I was not knowing why I was sad. we  pulled outside the airport and I ran inside and spotted Karan waiting there with his bag. I went near him and a smile appeared on his face when he saw me.

“Niki I am leaving.” Karan said with a smile on his face.

“when are you coming back?” I questioned
“I think may be after 5 years. It’s a lovely place, you know.” He said looking at the passport and ticket he was holding and was scratching it with his nails. He was nervous I can say that. May be he don’t want to go. Please don’t go.

5 years!! What do you mean by that I will not be able to see you for straight 5 years.
“ok bye the flight has been announced…” with that he went becoming smaller and smaller as we walk further and finally becoming invisible.

“wait Karan you can’t go.” I shouted but it was of no use he already left.

I was standing there dumbfloded.
“why Karan? Why are you leaving plz be back” I wispired to myself tears running out from my eyes. And I fell on knees putting my hands on my face and crying when  Some one touched my shoulder and I turned around to see if its Karan but it was Nik,

“nik!!” I was crying like hell. “he left” all I could manage to say and again stared crying.

“don’t cry he will be back in some years.” He tried to console me but its of no use.
The flight to USA is ready to take off I heard the announcement.
“no, no, no…..
