It was a dense forest. He was standing there with them. They were surrounded by tall green trees.

"Who am I?" He asked to them.

"You are Agasthya..."

"Agasthya? But I can't remember..."

One of them slowly stepped towards him and cupped his face.

Agasthya looked at him. His smile was adorable.

"You can... Try again..." He said.

Agasthya sighed. His mind was blank. Terribly blank...

The second man came forward. He hugged Agasthya.

"Agasthya... Look into my eyes..."
He said.

It was a pair of green coloured eyes... Or were they blue? Agasthya couldn't understand clearly.

"What do you see?"

Agasthya gasped. His face was reflected in those eyes.

"I can see him. I can feel him...Agasthya... I know him... Yes... it is me..."

Agasthya cried in happiness while the other two slowly stepped back.

"Where are you going... I know you... You both are my brothers..."

They didn't reply.

Agasthya ran towards them.

"Please... Don't leave me alone..."

"Now you know who you are... So you don't need us..."

Agasthya extended his hands to catch them but they vanished...

"I need you... I need you..."

He screamed... But there were no one to listen...

Suddenly the blue sky became blood red coloured... He found himself standing at the middle of the fire...

Agasthya didn't try to run away.He stood there like a statue.

He slowly touched the flames...

They were colder...Colder than the fire which was burning in his heart.

"You never knew me...You never knew what I need..."

Agasthya opened his eyes with a jerk.

"Why didn't I run away?"

"What?"

He startled by that unfamiliar voice.

Meghna slowly made him lay on the bed.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Agasthya asked in an unpleasant tone.

"I am a doctor, and this is a hospital... So I think you know the answer of your own question..."

"Hospital?" Agasthya rubbed his face and again examined the room.

Meghna giggled at his antics.

"I am really sorry... I couldn't understand... I thought that I am still at Ani bhaiya's house..." Said Agasthya with a sheepish smile.

"Well... It is because of medicines Agasthya... You need two days complete bed rest... So either you can go home and take rest or you can stay here... Choice is yours..."
