Journey through the High School [AU]

I'm sorry!

Raghav's pov:

I was driving my bike with Daya sitting behind me. He was not angry as before, rather was guilty. His unusual silence always have something very bad hidden, and was having same bad today for certain.

We were riding back to his home after taking medication from that stupid school medical staff. Haan, voh bevkoof hi hai. Saala bandage krne ke phle das baate sunata hai. 

I shrugged as I saw his home and stopped in front. I was a little nervous but Daya seemed unaffected. He hung his head down as we walked in.

He pulled his neck up only to get a tight slap! Shit! 'Aunty bohot zor se marta hai yaar.' I thought imagining her palm on my face.. ouch!

"Sharm aa rhi hai?" Aunty started speaking while her eyes were spitting fire. I smirked a little coz Sharm, voh toh humne heavy price mei bech di hain. Sharm ke alava sab aata h apan ko.

"Sorry.. Amma!" Daya said. I swear I got the pain in his words. 

"Sorry? Sorry bol diya aur ho gya? Tumhe andaza bhi h ki aaj kya ho skta tha? Ese hi nhi rusticate kiya h tumhe! Agar voh ladke ko kuch ho jata toh?" Aunty said and I heard my own words interrupting, almost instantly. 

"Aunty, uss Rakesh ne hi start-" I gulped as I got a death glare from both Angry Aunty and guilty Daya. But why did he stop me? He didn't want me to speak for him?? Wow! 

"Are lekin-" I tried to resist when...

"Tu apna muh band kr rha h ki nhi!" Daya yelled but was stopped with another slap. I instantly closed my eyes. I wish I could turn time back. Bhagwan!! Please Doraemon ko bhej do mere paas!

"Tum apna muh band rkho! Us pr chillane se kuch nhi hoga. Promise kiya tha na tumne ki phir kisi ko pareshan nhi karoge? Kaha gya promise haan?" I saw some tears dropping off Daya's eyes. 

"Doh din se phle ghar ke bahar mat dikhna mujhe. Samjhe!" Aunty warned and I felt the roof breaking with a loud thunder. Daya? Or voh bhi ghar pr? Or voh bhi pura doh din?? Nhi nhi.. bhai ko yaha se nikalna hi mangta h ab toh! 

Daya silently walked to his room without a word. I was worried for him but what else could I do but to leave him alone for sometime. I reluctantly walked back to my bike and left after a horrible goodbye glare from The Angry Aunty Ji.

Abhijeet's pov:

I was informed about everything by Anurag. I was tensed about Daya as I felt he wasn't at fault wholly. I cursed myself for not being at the ground that time, being very thankful to physics faculty who called me for some stupid work. 

I didn't hear the bell owing to my thoughts. The loud hustling of my class fellows teleported me back to reality. I hurriedly packed my bag and literally ran to the exit when again 

"Ouch!" I hit someone.. shit! It's Ashi again! 

"I'm sorry Ashi. I'm in a hurry. Will catch you up later!" And I ran away trying to reach home as soon as possible. 

I jumped off my bike and ran inside. I scanned the whole lounge to get the desired person but found her in the kitchen finally.

"Maa" I called her as soon as I entered. 

"No Abhi, not again." She warned me in a strict tone. She knew why I was here and what I wanted to say. 

"Maa lekin meri baat toh suno, puri galati Daya ki nhi h!" I tried to support my brother but Maa was too angry to even hear me.
