Sujatha : it's the truth...

Simar : don't you guys remember about Sid bunking the school...

Roli and Amar remembered the incident also Prem's anger and slightly mumbles " hmmm..." And they also shivers little then thought it's obvious for Sid to be afraid from Prem after whatever happened that time , They looked at Sid who was sticking to Prem holding him so tight as his mind travelled to that day reminding him of Prem's anger...

Sam who didn't knew about this asked to Simar " what was that di..."

Simar : will tell....

12 years old Siddhant was standing keeping his head down in the staff room of his class teacher Mr Verma who have caught him up for roaming around the city bunking the classes with some of the senior boys , this was happening from a week , Sid used to come to school but without attending it he goes out giving a leave application sometimes for fever or injury... Siddhant was very studious and attentive kid , seeing him absent consecutively for a week Mr Verma thought Sid is serious so just to ask about his health he dialled to Prem and from there the truth came out...in noon Siddhant came back to mix with the other students and go home at that time Mr Verma caught him with all the other group and took them to his staff room informing Prem too...

All were standing in the queue keeping there head down while Sid shivered little in fear thinking about the consequences , principal was called and after knowing about what they have done he started to scold everyone and also he decided to punish them, he was a kind of tough principal who always roams with a stick in his hand so today it was sure that these are not gonna be spared ...one by one Everyone were getting a stroke from principal on there hands and as he was nearing to Sid a drop of tear fell from his eyes , Sid was cursing himself for accepting to go out , it was a day when Sid reached school late as he used to go from his bicycle and in middle his cycle broke down so he reached school late, he found some of the senior boys going out of the school on asking they told they're going to have fun, they asked Sid also to join, firstly Sid denied but later got agreed thinking he's already so late and had decided to go home only so thought to Join them and from that day it became regular...

Principal came to Sid and asked him to open his palms but Sid didn't , he nodded no and mumbles " sor.. sorry.." tears flowed down his eyes ...

Principal : I said open your palms, when you were going out that time you didn't hesitate then why now open it..

Sid shivered more , tears were continuously flowing down , with a fear he slowly forwarded his hand and opened his trembling palms , principal took his stick little above, Sid closed his eyes tightly in fear , Sid heard the voice but he didn't felt any pain with little confusion he opened his eyes and saw a hand was kept over his protecting him from that stroke , it was turned to red, Sid just looked at that hand and he knew who it was , he murmures " bhaiya..." 

Principal : who are you...

" I'm Prem Bharadwaj .. Sid's elder brother .. I came to take him home.." answered Prem calmly..

Principal : ohhh..seems like you don't know what he has done..

Prem : I know it sir , and also I know how to make him understand and this is not the only way to correct him... I am taking him home and promising you it won't happen again...

And after that Prem took Sid's bag and marched out , Sid was standing silently without doing anything he was just looking at Prem but Prem didn't looked at him not even for a second.. Mr Verma knows about Prem that he won't let anyone touch or scold Sid except he himself so he asked Sid to go so he went behind Prem slowly , after few steps  Siddhant increased his speed little and reached near Prem , he forwarded his hand to hold Prem's but before that Prem took his hand away and moved to his car , Sid got rooted there after seeing the way Prem took his hand away ..this was the first time Prem ignored Sid , tears scrolled down Sid's eyes he took a deep breath controlling his cry then he went near car till then Prem was already in , Sid was about to open the door for front seat before that Prem opened back seat door for him which breaks him totally... Sid couldn't hold his cry seeing the way Prem is behaving with him , he started sobbing Standing outside holding the door ... Prem didn't said anything he didn't even looked at Sid while Sid was continuously gazing at Prem , Prem waited for Sid to get in and after seeing Sid still standing he pressed the horn two three times signalling him to get in without saying a word... Sid slowly gets in the back seat and looked at Prem through rear view mirror..at that time Prem too looked up his eyes met with Sid's for a second , Sid thought at least now Prem will say anything instead of that Prem downed the mirror showing that he is not even interested to see him... Sid started sobbing heavily he slowly started a talk " bhaiya... bhaiya.. sorry.. bhaiya please talk to me.. bhaiya.."

Prem heard him but ignored , he took the Bluetooth and inserted that in his ears and called Abhi then started talking to him while Sid didn't got the courage to say anything after it , he was silently sitting gazing outside and tears were scrolling down continuously...after reaching home Prem stopped the car and without saying anything just went inside taking Sid's bag , Sid too went behind him and after entering the house Prem's anger was on peak he threw Sid's bag away making Sid to tremble in fear while Sujatha and Simar came from inside without having any idea of what is happening... Sid frozed in the way ,he was looking at his bag which was lying on the floor  suddenly he got a jerk on hearing prem's voice " from when it's going on .."

Siddhant stammers " woh..woh...sorry bhaiya.. I am sorry ... I won't do this again please bhaiya forgive me this time ... bhaiya sorry "

" Answer my question Siddhanttt !! I asked you from when it's going onnnn " shouted Prem shaking Sid's soul , Sid was too afraid , he haven't seen Prem in such a way ever before .. Raj who just came from outside who didn't know anything got shocked seeing Prem shouting at Sid which can't happen even in the rarest dream..he came inside and asked " what happened Prem why are you shouting at Sid , he is a little kid "

Prem : kid ??? ...He ??? ... I don't think so.. because now your kid became too big that he started taking decision by himself and also this twelve years old kid of yours became expert in telling lies...am I right Siddhant..

Rajendra looked at Siddhant while Siddhant downed his head in guilt , Raj fixing his gaze on Sid asked from Prem " what did he do..."

Prem : Sir went to roam around the city in school timing giving an leave application keeping my signature on it...

Everyone were shocked hearing what Sid did , copying the signature was too much ,none was ready to believe Sid really did that .. Simar asked with confusion " are you..are you sure prem.. I don't believe our Sid could do something like this..no Prem surely you have some misunderstanding.."

Prem : it's true Simar...if you aren't believing me then ask to him 

Everyone looked at Sid and he wasn't able to meet there eyes, he was feeling too guilty and ashamed while others were not knowing what to do and if it's the case then Prem's anger is obvious so everyone kept silent....

Prem again asked " from when it's going on ??? " Well he knows the answer but still he wants to know from Sid, he wanted to see what Sid says truth or again a lie ...

Sid was hell scared to see this face of Prem so he thought not to tell truth , he thought if he will say it has been a week since he's doing this then don't know what Prem will do so he lied " on... only... only today "

Prem's anger increased to tenfold , he raised his hand and was about to slap Sid shocking everyone and don't ask about Sid he became numb ,for the first time in his life someone is gonna slap him and it's his Prem Bhaiya who can't bear if Sid is in pain ...but before his hand could touch Sid screamed little shrinking in fear , Prem stopped and looked at Sid , his eyes got welled up ..he can't slap his Sid , the way Sid was shrinking himself and that fear in his eyes , Prem couldn't bear , whatever it is he is still a kid and he should not be too harsh to him .. Prem nodded no and took his hand back ,he holds Sid's shoulders then asked " you have guts to lie even now ..."

Siddhant started crying heavily , he was not knowing what to do next , he is doing mistake again and again now he is unable to correct it over that prem's anger is scaring him so much , he was just standing keeping his head down and sobbing...

Prem : don't show me your tears Siddhant , it won't hide the mistake you have done..ok tell me what else you have done ..

Siddhant didn't spoke anything he was just crying and crying , Prem raising hand to slap him was the scene coming in front of Sid's eyes again and again shivering him , he didn't got guts to say anything...

Prem : say something...leave it..who knows if you again lie ( Sid nodded no slightly but Prem said ) ohhh so you want me to believe you... no Sid now I don't have any believe on you from last one week you are doing this and every single day when I ask you what happened today you used to lie to me didn't you leave that even now you lied ...( Siddhant cried more on his mistake while Prem continued ) I am feeling ashamed to say that you are my brother , this is what I have taught you.. you do one thing don't come in front of me otherwise I may do something in anger ...no wait let's do one thing when you didn't considered to tell everything to me and is always telling lies then I don't think there's any need for us to talk for one week he did this right so for next one week no one is gonna talk to him and this is his punishment...

Siddhant's breath stopped for a while after hearing what Prem said he nodded no looking at him and then looked at others with teary eyes, looking at Sid Rajendra and Sujatha simultaneously said " Prem ... this is not good.."

Prem : once I said then it won't change and I think I have given him so much liberty not now and if I see any of you talking to him then it won't be good specially you Simar make sure I don't see any such and I mean it or else I have other ways too...

Siddhant stood numb , he couldn't understand what he should do he was just looking at him with tear filled eyes ...for a while he thought it's a dream , Prem can't say something like this but reality hits him when Prem started to go out after breaking the flower vase to suppress his anger, Sid with a jerk came to reality and he realized whatever Prem said is true , he runs behind Prem weeping he held prem's hand and nodded no then requested in between his sobs " no bhaiya... please don't say this .. please bhaiya talk to me... I promise it won't happen again ...sorry bhaiya .. please bhaiya don't give me such punishment... please bhaiya please..." Siddhant started crying heavily leaning on Prem's hand... everyone were looking at Prem expecting him to change his decision but Prem slightly removed Sid's hand from his and went away leaving crying Sid behind...

Siddhant stood there crying for sometime then he turned towards others and as he looked at them , Raj and Sujatha went inside without even saying anything considering about Prem's words while Sid breaks down completely seeing everyone ignoring him he was cursing himself for the mistake he did , he shouldn't have done that , he shouldn't have lied to Prem.... he looked at Simar his last hope thinking maybe she'll talk to him but to his dismay she turned to go ... Sid took a long breath as he got choked heavily due to his continuous cry and after seeing everyone moving away from him...he was looking at simar who was going away from him, he runs to her and hugged her from behind then says " bhabhi no...bhabhi sorry... please sorry .. don't go... don't go...talk to me... Bhabhi talk to me... please.. I am sorry.. I won't do anything like this again... sorry ..."

Simar got tears in her eyes seeing Sid begging to her she feels like embracing him and say ' it's ok ' but Prem's words were stopping her to do anything , she have never seen Prem this much angry on Sid .. Prem has always treated him as his son , he has always pampered and loved him unconditionally ...he cared for Sid more than anyone could even think of  but today seeing this avatar of Prem she too was afraid to go against him thinking if Prem caught her talking to Sid then don't know what he will do next, what if he decides more tough punishment for Sid then.. it's better to stay silent.. Simar slowly took Sid's hand away and started to go while Sid holds her hand then said in feeble voice " mumma please talk to me..." 

A drop of tear fell from simar's eyes , she closed her eyes and remembered the day when finally Sid has accepted her as his bhabhi... Sid was ten years old at that time when Prem came home with Simar introducing her as his lover and also a wish to marry her , Raj and Sujatha accepted Simar but Sid denied , he was not ready for this marriage ..and after continuous struggle for three months Sid said ' Yes ' only when he got satisfied answer for his question ...and his question was " everyone says bhabhi is like mother , she would love you like a mother but my friend's bhabhi doesn't behaves good with him so tell me how would you be ...are you going to behave like my friend's bhabhi or you are gonna love me like mom does... will you be my mumma ???  If yes then I am ok for your marriage with bhaiya and if no then I won't allow you to become my bhabhi " asks Sid innocently ..Simar looked at Sid and no doubt she fell for his innocence and thinks Prem was wrong Sid is the way too cute and innocent then he had described her... Simar immediately nodded yes and promised him to be his mumma and that day being a kid Sid took an innocent promise from her asking her to talk to him forever and to love him like Sujatha does and she did , she kept her promise of loving him like a mother and even Prem and Simar decided not to have their own kid until they shape Sid's future to the Best but today is a day she have to break one of her promise by not talking to him...

Sid was waiting for simar's reaction but she didn't do anything instead she was lost in her thoughts.. Sid shakes her hand little and said again " mumma..talk to me "

Simar cupped Sid's face and looking at him she nodded no and expressed her helplessness " I can't Sid...sorry baccha " and after that she went from there leaving Sid alone ... Sid was standing there for sometime looking into either directions expecting anyone to come to him but none came...after somewhat an hour of waiting when none came Sid went to his room then started crying aloud lying on bed thinking about the punishment Prem gave to him...

After sometime Prem entered the house and directly went to Simar then asked " did you talked to him ...?? "

Simar got shivered little and nodded no.. with a shivering tone she said " don't be so rude..he is a kid , just 12 years old Prem don't you think you are being too hard "

Prem didn't said anything and asked " what is he doing ..."

Simar got sad after noticing that how Prem is trying to change the topic..she huffed and answered " he slept due to continuous crying "

Prem without saying anything just moved towards Sid's room while Simar followed him thinking what is he going to do now... Prem went inside and looked at Sid who was sleeping still wearing the school uniform.. Prem moves to his bed and then sat down beside Sid , he caressed Sid's hair with love while his eyes spotted the wet pillow, he slowly took the pillow out from under the Sid and checked , it was wet because of Sid's tears , a drop of tear fell from his eyes thinking how much Sid might have cried...he kept the pillow aside and carefully took Sid in his lap without disturbing his sleep then hugged him close to his chest while Simar was silently looking at what Prem is doing ... She slowly asked " why are you doing this ... forgive him please "

Prem loosened Sid's tie and took it out then opened first two buttons of his shirt to make him feel comfortable and again hugged him then replied to Simar fixing his gaze on Sid " simar I too know that he is just 12 years old but you tell what he did , was that right ??? Was it not wrong and also from last twelve years I am teaching him not to lie it's a bad habit , he learnt too but see in just one week what he became , he lied , I would have spared him if it was just once or twice but no.. you know right it's my habit to ask about what happened in school and help him in his homework and for last one week whenever I asked he lied , Everytime he lied even today too he lied ...in just one week he is changed .. I don't have problem after knowing he bunked the school , it's not so shocking , it happens he is a kid might have got fantasized after knowing about the fun and thrill.. but he agreed to go without any proper safety , you say who would have been responsible if something might have happened to him , can we expect from those boys to protect him like shield no ..they ask Sid to accompany thinking if he too will join then surely Sid won't complaint about them to anyone and they will be safe.. today he agreed to go and also learnt to lie so who knows what he will do tommorow , while doing no one sees it's right or wrong they just care for the enjoyment... and simar it won't take much time to adopt a wrong path .. this is the age , he is growing , he will face several distraction which can misled him.. this is the time we have to stop him from getting misguided... and for that a fear is necessary ... In Sid mind it's stored that  no one will say anything to him because I have never allowed anyone to do so that's what giving him courage to do such things...he should know that If I am not allowing anyone then it doesn't mean I too won't do anything , he should know that I too can punish him if he is wrong ...after whatever happened today now he would think thousands times before doing anything and would not dare to lie that too from me never...if I punish him now then we won't regret ever but if I leave him just like that then later nothing would be left other than regretting.. whatever I am doing it's for his better future .. hope you would support me.." 

Simar nodded yes with slight glassy eyes , she felt he is right they should have some control on Sid so that he won't get spoiled and for that Prem's decision seems to be correct...she too went and sits beside Prem and caressed Sid's hair then said " he cried alot .. don't you think one week is too long "

Prem : don't worry it won't go so far.. let's do this till tommorow I will talk to him tomorrow night .. one day is enough he will get his lesson and won't do anything like this ever..

Simar : I felt bad when he was begging from me to talk..

Prem : I know...even I couldn't control my tears when he was crying on my hand ..if I would have stayed for a minute more I might have changed my decision... that's why I left without saying anything and simar you can talk to him when I am not near...let him believe you are talking hiding from me and also don't talk to much ok... just little if you want anyways we are going to end this tommorow...

Simar : it's ok Prem.. let's not talk it's matter of one day ..and as you said fear is necessary so to make it happen I should also not talk otherwise he will think whatever happens his bhabhi would support him and we should not give this chance to him...

Both sit there for sometime and then went to there respective work after making Sid to sleep comfortably on bed...in night too no one talked to Sid , dinner went in silence and Sid he couldn't bear the ignorance of his family specially from Prem and Simar which he has never thought that it would come ..

He was regretting alot for the mistake he has done , he never thought that it would end up like this , for the first time he wanted to reverse the time and correct his mistake but he couldn't..all were going to there respective rooms and Sid was looking at them with a longing look expecting anyone to turn and wish him good night at least ,but no one turned , tears gathered in his eyes he couldn't be able to stand there anymore he runs to his room then fell on his bed and started crying ...it came night but no one has yet talked to Sid , he was feeling so alone , he got no one to talk and the thing which was hurting him more was Prem's ignorance which was killing him from inside , he desperately wanted to talk to someone but who ?? 

After few minutes he picked the land line and called to vrindavan to Amar ...at least he would talk to him ..after few minutes Amar picked the call and both talked , Sid was crying and telling him about how everyone is ignoring him and about Prem's anger too , after hearing it Amar too was surprised to know about Prem's behavior and he too got little fear inside him but still he tried to console Sid both were talking for so long in between unknown to him Amar slept while here Sid was still awake and when he didn't got any reply he asked " Amar where are you... Amar are you hearing me.. Amar..Amar ..??? "

Siddhant gets sad hearing no reply from Amar he was about to cut the call  but then he heard a voice from other side " hello ..."

Siddhant stopped and with confusion asked " Roli ??? "

Roli : hmmm.. it's me , Amar slept .. didn't you slept it's too late 

Siddhant was feeling so alone because of everyone's ignorance , he wanted to talk to someone so called to Amar and now he too slept but still his heart was longing for someone , he was not in good terms with Roli as both of them have considered each other their enemy but for the time being Sid needed someone and he forgot who's the other side so he hesitantly asked to Roli " will you talk to me ..."

Roli and Amar was sleeping together so Roli knows that he is talking to someone but wondered to hear Sid's voice thinking why he is talking in this late night didn't Prem Bhaiya told him to sleep ...when Amar slept , she heard Sid's call she thought to let him call what matters to her but something pushed her to talk to him after hearing his feeble voice , and when he asked her to talk she was shocked little thinking what Happened to him , he always used to say not to come in front of him and today he himself was asking her to talk .. she was of nine years old then and as it's always said that children's have pure heart which is always ready to help if someone asks from front that happened with her too and shoving off all her thoughts she asked slightly " what happened ..."

Siddhant again started sobbing he told her " Roli...no one is talking to me.. from afternoon no one is talking to me .. will you talk to me "

Roli : hmmm.. I will..but say why they're not talking to you 

Sid narrated whole incident while weeping ... Roli too got tears by hearing his cry , she felt too bad for him she said " but you did mistake right "

Siddhant : sorry Roli.. I won't do that again Roli .. please say bhaiya to talk to me ..

Roli : did you asked sorry from Prem bhaiya..??

Siddhant : I tried but he was not listening to me ..he was avoiding me..

Roli : ohhh... what about bhabhi..

Siddhant : she too was not talking to me.. you know mumma has promised me that she will talk to me forever but she broke her promise ..she is also not talking to me .. saying this he again started crying..

Roli was silent for sometime then she told " don't cry.. please , don't cry .. I am here naa I will talk to you "

Siddhant heard her then stopped his cry and wiped his tears then asked " really will you talk to me "

Roli : Yes I will talk to you .. I will talk to you always even if everyone stopped talking to you

Siddhant's lips had a little smile his eyes twinkles in happiness excitingly he asked " pakka promise "

Roli : haa promise ..

Siddhant : you won't break your promise like mumma ..

Roli : no I won't... I will talk to you whenever you will call me..

Siddhant smiles and thanked her then both of them talked for sometime until Siddhant slept .. Roli cuts the call after she was confirmed that Siddhant slept ..both of them slept peacefully forgetting about their enmity for a while...

Next day Siddhant woke up late as he slept late but to his surprise no one came to wake him up otherwise till now Simar or Prem might have came to wake him up ..his eyes got welled up again , he was about to get up when he saw phone was still in his hand he looked at it then remembered yeah he was talking to Amar and in middle he slept ...he kept the phone back in it's place then went to fresh up, without realizing that he had talked with Roli too, he forgot about that totally and that talk between Rosid didn't make any changes in them ...

Whole day went silently today too no one talked to him , he was craving for them but none considered him , for his relief Amar was available to talk to him , while talking to Amar he never asked about Roli nor did Roli asked about him or tried to talk to him as for her she already told " I will talk to you whenever you will call me " and Sid himself didn't asked so she too didn't tried and later she too forgot about it and again both were same as they were before.. Enemy ....

It was time for rajendra and prem to be back from work , Sujatha and Simar was in kitchen while Sid was silently sitting in the hall looking at the door waiting for Prem thinking maybe today he will talk but seeing his behaviors from yesterday Sid was sure that today too no one will talk to him.. this two days ignorance was enough for him to realize what mistake he has done and he promised himself thousands of time from yesterday that he won't do like this ever again ..tears started rolling down his cheeks remembering about what all happened from yesterday noon that's when he heard car sound ..he couldn't wait more he runs to outside and stood where the car stopped .. Prem and Rajendra came outside of the car and directly went inside without looking in the direction where Sid was... Sid nodded no seeing the way they are going , he opened his mouth to call them but due to his cry his voice didn't came out..he got freezed there , he expected them to at least see him if are not ready to talk but no they directly went inside.. Sid didn't moved a inch from there , he was crying keeping his head down cursing himself for his mistake thinking about a way to ask forgiveness but nothing came in his mind , he was feeling so helpless he didn't got the courage to go inside the house and face there ignorance again so stayed there and was weeping on his mistake...

Rajendra and Prem went inside and came back after freshing up themselves ..all went to dining table , Prem looked around but didn't found Sid he asked to Simar " where's he "

Simar : he didn't came inside yet... Prem you was about to talk to him today right.. won't you..??

Sujatha : yes Prem forgive him I know he won't do this again ... I can't see my child like this

Rajendra : Yes Prem .. I too think he learnt what you wanted to let him

Prem : hmmm.. ok I'll bring him..

Prem went outside he looked around and found Sid was still standing near the car and was crying keeping his head down.. Prem went little forward then called him " Siddhant ..."

Siddhant got jerk hearing prem's voice , with fear he raised his head and looked up ... Prem stretched his hands then said " come ..." Siddhant started crying heavily he was just looking at Prem praying it's not a dream while Prem again said " won't you come to me ?? "

Siddhant nodded yes then ran towards him and jumped on him , Prem too holds him tight in his arms while Sid cried on his shoulder " sorry bhaiya...sorryyyyy "

" Enough enough..." Said Prem caressing Sid's back

" I won't do this again bhaiya... please talk to me " cries Sid hugging Prem so tight as if he didn't wanted to let him go anywhere ..

Prem caressed his back continuously then kissed on his hairs and said " I came to talk only .."

Siddhant looked at Prem then asked with eagerness " you will talk to me .."

Prem : yeah I will...

Siddhant kept his right hand on Prem's Left cheek then asked innocently " you won't move your face away from me.."

Prem : I won't..

Siddhant : you won't shout at me ... I got scared bhaiya .. please don't

Prem : no baby I won't..

Siddhant : and...and...and you won't raise your hand to slap me.... While asking this Siddhant shivered little as he remembered that moment 

For this Prem said " I won't but only on one condition ( Siddhant looked into his eyes asking what ) you have to promise me that you won't do any such again ... you won't hide anything from me and most importantly won't lie again ... remember it Siddhant if I found you doing any mistake like this then I'll be the first one to slap you...got it.."

Siddhant slightly nodded then said " I promise you bhaiya I won't do any mistake from today onwards... pakka wala promise "

Prem kissed Sid's forhead then said " ok then if you promise to not do any mistake then I promise you that I won't get angry too "

Siddhant hugged Prem tightly and cries in happiness that finally his bhaiya forgave him...after sometime when Sid became normal both came inside ... Siddhant looked at everyone trying to know if they too have forgiven him or not .. Rajendra came near them and forwarded his hand to Sid while Sid happily jumps from Prem's arms to rajendra's..." Sorry dad ..." Cries Sid while Raj held him so close to his chest as he was unable to be away from him even if it was for his better future... Sujatha too went near and ruffling Sid's hairs she kissed on his head then said " it's ok beta...now don't cry... I know you won't repeat that again right "

Siddhant : yes Mom I won't do that again ... 

Siddhant at last looked at Simar and asked slowly " mumma you will talk to me naa ..." 

Simar came forward and cupping his face " of course I would talk until unless you do any mistake..."

Siddhant : I won't do...pakka

Simar kissed his forehead appreciating him " my good boy ..."

" And after that my Sid haven't done any mistake...that was his first and last mistake " Simar concluded narrating the incident while everyone were looking at Sid and Prem ... seeing them together no one will say that Sid has fear from Prem...

Siddhant tilted his head from Prem's shoulder and looked at him , Prem too looked down and asked " what " through his eyes ... Siddhant rolling his eyes slowly asked " you said that day .. you are.. you are a..a.. ashamed to..." 

" Shhhhh ...( Prem didn't let him complete and nodded no then kissing his forehead said ) I am proud of you... I am proud of you baccha .. I said in anger that time.. I didn't mean it.. forget it " says Prem hugging Sid

Siddhant : you are not angry naa...

Prem : for what...

Siddhant took his hand near Prem's head and tapped on the bandage slightly with his index finger then keeping his eyes down curving his lips down he says " for this.... "

A smile crept on everyone's face seeing Sid's innocence , seeing him like this no one would believe that he is a grown up now ... sometimes he still behaves like a four year old kid , this innocence of his makes him favorite for everyone.. Prem smiled then said " ohh my baby ... I am not angry don't worry I know it was not your fault... it's just by coincidence ..."

Amar : that's what I was trying to make him understand it's not your fault but this stupid was crying all the way...

" But I hurt him naa ..." Says Siddhant snuggling into Prem more..

Sujatha : leave it Amar...he will say like that only.. Bhaiya's pet

Everyone chuckled but Sid ignored he was still sticking to Prem ...

Amar : wait wait...let me tell you something.. it's all Roli's mistake 

Everyone looked at Amar and then Roli who was fuming looking at him.. Prem asked " how ...?? "

Amar : you know naa bhaiya if we say our wishes out then it won't get fulfilled right...and today morning when Roli was going I prayed from God to keep you all safe and alive but this Roli forced me...no no not forced almost killed me and asked about my wishes.. that's why it didn't fulfilled and you got hurt.... otherwise nothing like that would have happened...

Prem : ohhh no Roli why did you do that..see now I got hurt naa and thanks Amar for your prayers otherwise don't know what might have happened to me... you keep praying and we will also be cautious and from tommorow I will roam wearing helmet in the house...

All laughed while Roli folded her sleeves and said "Amar if you said one more word then you will be dead better leave..."

Simar : Roli why are you behind poor Amar ..see how innocent he is..

Amar made a fake puppy face making others laugh but Roli glared at him ... Amar with a jerk " guys I don't wanna die soon... I want to live more ..so byee good night and one more thing Prem Bhaiya if you could then please keep Roli with you for some days so that I can get a peaceful sleep ..."

All laughed and Prem said " ok will try ..." While Roli shouted " Amarrrr ... "

Amar got flinched on roli's voice he immediately said " ahhhhhh... I went .. I went I am not here... good night Everyone " and then he cuts the call..all laughed for sometime then left to there respective rooms...

SIDDHANT'S  ROOM

Siddhant was sleeping peacefully covering himself with the duvet till his shoulder... suddenly his forehead shrinks , his eyeballs darted to and fro ..seems like he is seeing any dream  he started getting sweat on his forehead ...his face was showing uneasiness and after little struggling he woke up with jerk ..he was taking heavy breath.. Sid switched on the side lamp then drank water to get stablized and then thought " again the same dream...why I am getting this dream often ..who was she...??? Why is she coming in my dream...do I know her .. should I talk about this to bhaiya.. it's high time first I was thinking it's just a dream but everyday same dream that too from years it doesn't looks good I think I should talk to bhaiya... should I  go now..no no he will be sleeping.. don't go now Sid...but yarrr then how will I sleep it will disturb me again...huh.. let's go to bhaiya he will only find the solution.. " 

Sid got up and moved towards prem's room .. he came out of his room but was wondering to see Roli in the corridor..he was looking at her keenly she was moving here and there in front of Prem's room .. Sid's eyes widened when he saw that she was about to knock prem's door .. before Roli could do that Sid held her hand and then pushed her taking her inside her room ... Roli glared at him then asked " what are you doing... leave me "

Siddhant too asked with the same tone " what are you doing in front of my Bhaiya room ..why were you going to disturb his sleep .."

Roli raised her eyebrows and says " ohhh hello he is my Bhaiya also I can very well go to him whenever I wish for ok... BTW what are you doing here you were sleeping right ..."

Siddhant rolled his eyes thinking what should he say if he tells that he too was coming to go to Prem then Roli will eat him alive saying if he can then why can't she so he tried to divert her " look this is my house and it's my wish to sleep or roam around that's none of your business ..."

Roli : then go and roam around why are you coming in my way..

Siddhant showed his index finger to her saying " look I will come in your way if you are going to disturb my Bhaiya ..."

Roli too showed her finger saying " ayeee .."

Siddhant holds her finger then said " keep your sound low...why are you disturbing everyone's sleep .. now understood why Amar was saying he wanted a peaceful sleep .." 

Roli kept her both hands on hip then asked sternly " what do you mean .."

Siddhant ignored her then said uninterestingly " see I am not interested to fight with you and spoil my mood already I am confused.."

... Fight ... The word clicked in both of there mind reminding about whatever had happened a while ago..both looked at each other simultaneously , Sid's eyes were little moist again as he remembered the scene where Prem's blood was dropping out on the floor and he didn't want something like that to happen again so he thought it's better to be silent... Roli looked at Sid intently she can feel that he is getting emotional on whatever happened and in one or other way she too was a part of it so she thought it's better to be silent than encouraging for such things to happen again ...

" Let's not fight ..." Rosid said together then looked up Wondering how come there thoughts are same , there eyes met for a while but soon they moved ..there was an awkward silence for a moment both were not getting what to do as they haven't done anything other than fighting... Sid once thought to leave the room but he didn't feel like..he stayed and rolling his eyes asked slightly " hmmm...woh .. why were you going to bhaiya room .."

Roli : woh tommorow exam naa so I was studying for it and got little doubt as bhaiya asked me to clear it with him so was going..

Siddhant looked at her all the while Roli's eyes were roaming in all directions except him .. don't know from where a thought popped up in Sid's mind ...' should I make friendship with her , can we be friends as Dad wants us to be ' ... with a hesitation he asked " can I help you ..." 

Roli looked at him quickly as those words came out of his mouth ...she was just gazing at him thinking did he really asked her ...both of there eyes were looking into each other's..an eyelock happened ... Roli's eyes were asking some questions with him which he was unable to answer maybe about there relationship which he too don't know , everyone knows them as enemy but are they really ??? ...it was Sid who always had hated her first , it was Sid who had given it a name enemy first and Roli has carried it as he says, if he says enemy then enemy if he asks help then she's there but what exactly it is..both of them don't know... a lump was created in Sid's throat , he adjusted his throat and swallowed it but still they were just looking at each other having there mutual conversation without any words ..after a minute clock tricked to twelve and gave a sound making both of them to come out of there world ...both moved there eyes soon .. Roli moved near bed slightly humming giving him acceptance for his help... Sid didn't reacted much as he was still in a thought that " what was that ...what just happened .." same was the thought of Roli too , she too was confused on what just happened...when they were unable to configure out shrugging there shoulder they throwed that thought and moved to bed...

Rosid were studying together .. Sid was clearing her all doubts and also was explaining her about the pattern of question and giving her key points from every chapters .. after telling everything he gave her few questions from the most asked topics to solve and see if she can or is still needed his help ... Roli was solving the questions while Sid was asleep beside her.. when Roli completed she took a breath of relief and said " I did Siddhant ...see all are correct too " while saying she turned towards him to see him sleeping ..her eyes got struck on his innocent face for a while but soon she moved her eyes and thinks about her state " I thought to sleep with Anjali and Sanju as I have habit of sleeping while hugging someone .. if I go now then there sleep will be disturbed and then Sid will get one more chance to say me...what to do.. what to do.. let's do one thing let's sleep while hugging him , he is also sleeping so he won't fight too " after finding a solution Roli kept her books aside and lied beside Sid then slowly she hugged him making sure not to wake him and Sid too didn't showed anything and both slept...Rosid was sleeping peacefully almost in each other's arms , it was when Sid again got those nightmares he shrinked his forehead , his eyes darted to and fro and as Roli was hugging him so in sleep he too hugged her little tightly as if was trying to conquer over his feelings.. Roli felt the tight grip around her hip , she asked in her sleep " Sid ..?? "

Siddhant too answered in sleep " Roli .." 

And then both of them started talking through there heart still being in sleep ...

Roli : why you hate me Sid...

" You are not my Roli ... you are not my baby...they gave my Roli's name to you.. I hate you .." replied Sid , this statement of his shows that he still have those memories burried inside him which is coming out when he is not in his senses and is still stopping him to accept Roli ...

Roli slightly moved away from him saying " they gave right.. I didn't chosed right .. then what was my mistake ... won't you accept me ...??? " 

There was a silence for few minutes , Sid's face was showing confusion , his eyes were rolling around , he was tensed as if trying to find a conclusion his uneasiness was sensed by Roli she slightly moved her hand to his chest above his heart and started caressing it slowly like she was trying to soothe it who was racing in that little place...after few minutes Sid calmed down his face was showing a relaxation , he took his one hand and kept on hers which was on his chest ... then interwined it with his and said slowly " hmmm..sorry " 

Roli smiled even in sleep knowing he accepted her she snuggles to him more and Sid too wrapped his hand around her and pulled her near him more ...and then both of them slept peacefully.. don't know if they would remember this conversation or will forget it...

After few minutes Prem entered in there room ... it's his habit to see Sid once after he sleeps and today too he went to see Sid but didn't found him in his room so ended up here after searching him everywhere ... Prem looked at Rosid who were sleeping peacefully in each other's arms , seeing them Prem slapped his forehead forgetting that it is wounded " ouchhh ..." Hissed Prem when he felt little pain , he rubbed the place to reduce pain then said inaudibly " look at these stupids a while ago both created a tsunami and made everything upside down and now see both are sleeping peacefully that too together after creating such a big havoc.. should give them awards before they were ready to kill each other and now sleeping in each other's arms ...uhhhh I will kill them" 

Saying this Prem neared to bed and looked at Rosid and a smile crept on his lips seeing them together ..he slowly sat beside them and pinching Roli's nose slightly said " naughty girl..bit my baby's nose " Roli whimpers in sleep , Prem chuckled softly then rubbed her nose with his thumb and made her to sleep again ...then he ruffles Sid's hairs and talked to him " how much more time you need Sid , you don't know baccha but you have already accepted Roli long back.. your actions shows it all , your eyes says everything ..why are you unable to realise it.. I have raised you both together and I know everything about you both even those which you guys don't ....hope you would come to a conclusion soon and realize that there's nothing to hate her and would accept her soon erasing your enmity ... come out of your confusion soon baby " saying this Prem kissed Rosid's forehead and then covered them with duvet and was moving back to his room but was freezed in Midway after hearing a word ...he turned towards Sid and looked at him , his face was showing some tension seems like he is having dreams again ... Prem went near Sid with slow steps praying to Lord that what he heard is not true but... he heard that again , in sleep Sid murmures again " BADI MAA ..." 

Prem was so shocked to hear it , his eyes brimmed with tears , a shiver ran through his body , his hand became chill remembering the state of Sid when he was unable to accept the truth that badi Maa died.... he thought " did he ..did he still remembered badi Maa ..."

PRECAP :

All were on dining table for breakfast except Roli...

After few minutes of fighting with his mind Sid finally asked " bhaiya can I ask something "

Prem : yeah Sid say what happened any problem...

Siddhant with a confusion asked " who is badi Maa ..." 

Rajendra, Sujatha , Simar and Prem everyone's face turned to pale hearing his question...
