Kevin nodded his head in ok. After some minutes, Waitor came with two black coffees and both started to enjoy their coffee in restless. One was thinking, how to tell truth. One was thinking, how to listen truth. The story revolving around truth.

Kevin made some courage in his mind to ask Abhijeet about truth and started saying: Abhijeet, please do tell me, why are you behaving so rude with everyone, especially your closed ones. What has happened Abhijeet?

Abhijeet found some courage to answer and said: Kevin, You might remember, I was very sad that day when I came to know that Daya bhaiya is not coming. I also came to meet you and I also shared my feelings with you.

Abhijeet was so sad that day because he came to know that Daya was not coming to India. He was waiting for Daya for so long and when he came to know that Daya's not coming, that time he expressed mixed emotions of anger and sadness. He went to his one and only best friend Kevin so that he could expell his emotions. Kevin was sitting in the garden of his home with his dad who was teaching him something when Abhijeet entered into Kevin's home. By coincident, the gate of Kevin's house was opened. Abhijeet directly headed towards the Kevin sitting in garden eating his breakfast. Abhijeet hugged Kevin so tightly which was unexpected for Kevin. Kevin hugged him back and patted Abhijeet's back. Kevin felt his shirt wet. Kevin immediately broke the hug and made Abhijeet face him. Kevin was shocked seeing him crying.

Kevin asked while trying to console Abhijeet: Abhijeet, What happened yaar? Why are you crying? Everything is okay na?

Abhijeet said while breathing heavily in teary tone: Kevin, I am missing Daya bhaiya so much. My eyes are longing to see him. Kevin, Please take me towards my Daya bhaiya.

Kevin said while trying hard to control Abhijeet who was crying continuously: Abhijeet, stop crying, stop crying. Anyways, Daya bhai is coming India back very soon. Then all of your saddness will be gone.

Abhijeet said while trying to control his emotions: NAHI Kevin, Daya bhaiya is not coming India. He is still in Canada. He wants to study more. Daya bhaiya is very bad Kevin, does anyone do that to his smaller brother? Tell me yaar, Does anyone?

Kevin asked Abhijeet in shocked tone: Kya? Daya bhai nahi a rahe? Ye to acha nahi Hua. Main tumhare jazbaat ko samajh sakta hun Abhijeet. Zaroor Daya bhai ki koi majboori ho gi.

Kevin answered Abhijeet in sad tone: Haan, yaad hai mujhe. Wo din kaise bhool sakta hun, wo din tumhaare liye dukh se bhara tha aur usi din ke kuch din baad tumhaare behaviour mein change ane laga tha. Main aj tak na maloom hun us baat ya us waaqiya se jis ne tumhe itna badal diya tha.

Abhijeet answered in extreme sadness: main badla nahi hun Kevin, main aj bhi wohi Abhijeet hun jo pehle tha. Mujhe badalne par majboor Kiya Gaya hai. Main andar se aj bhi wohi naram dil aur masoom Abhijeet hun. Main 3 saal se dikhawa karta aya hun. Nafrat karne ka natak karte aya hun.

Kevin asked in confused tone: mujhe kuch bhi samajh main nahi aya Abhijeet, tum keh kya rahe ho. Please saaf saaf batao ke tum kehna kya chahte ho?

Abhijeet said in teary tone: main..Main tumhe shuru se batata hun.
