Few days later.....

In these few days. Sid is spending time with family and friends fully. Trying to be strong to share the past with all. No one is forcing but supporting him fully

After few days....

Abhi, Sid, Gautam, Sumedh, Adrita and Shreya were going to Pizza hut after college. They all were in car. Abhi on driver's seat. Sid beside him and rest 4 were behind. Adjusting or fighting with each other

Gautam (groan): Ahh!! Because of you idiot. Here I am stucked
Sumedh: I thought to have fun together. So I suggested to go in one car
Shreya: Yaar I said me and Adrita will come on bike but this mahashay (hitting sumedh) Huh!!
Abhi (smirk): Girls, you know salman Khan did drink and drive. So he hit the person because he was high but for you two there is no need to be high. They way you drive shows are high 24/7

Sumedh, Gautam, Abhi giggle. Sid was busy in his thoughts. Not talking or listening to anyone

Shreya (pulling abhi's ear): Idiot what you said?
Abhi (irritated): Ouch!! Girl let me focus on driving or you will die
Adrita: Sid?
Sid: .....
Adrita (a bit loud): Siddharth....
Sumedh (shouting in Adrita's ear): Don't make me deaf

Adrita starts hitting him

Abhi (shooking sid): Champ??
Sid (came back to sense): Gem? What happened?
Abhi: Where are you lost? Are you Okay?
Sid: Yaa..... Just thinking something
Abhi: Hmm..... Adrita was calling you
Sid: Yes Addii?
Adrita: From where you learnt that decoding? Today also seniors were searching for you. As they wanted help in decoding
Sid (closed his eyes): Umm..... Where I used to live... I mean with that persons. They were kidnappers, smugglers. So decoding was necessary for them. I learnt this from them
Abhi (shocked): What? You used to live with smugglers?
Sid (nodded): Hmm.... Can we discuss this later Gem?
Abhi (looked at him): At home? You will tell everything today?
Sid: Yeah okay!

With this they continued chit chat, teasing then went to pizza hut

Skips to home. After dropping friends. Sid and Abhi went to home. Vibha was already  her sitting on sofa. They both went and lay down on her lap

Vibha (giggle): Arey! What's this?
Abhi: Mom, today I got to know (pointing at sid) was with smugglers all these years
Vibha (shocked): Sid?

Sid nodded. He hug Vibha's waist and sat silently for sometime. He was hiding his face. After few minutes. Abhi and Vibha heard sobs. Both got shocked and looked at each other

Vibha (caressing sid's hair): Siddharth, What happened beta?
Sid (sobbing): Mom

Vibha make him sit. Sid hug her and was crying on her chest

Sid: Mumma
Vibha (rubbing his back): Yes mera bacha?
Sid: Mumma, That person came to kidnap someone else but by mistake he took me from there. For around 2 weeks they were trying to contact parents of that boy but as boy was safe with them. Parents didn't cared about it thinking it's a prank or something

He stopped. Vibha hug him even more tight. Abhi held sid's hand which was shivering

Abhi (rubbing sid's hand): Speak champ! Come on. Say what happened?
Sid: They were smugglers. Killing people was just a game for them. Regular they used to kill many people there. I don't knew what's that? What I can do? I used to get scared alot. Mumma after killing they just used to drag body like it's a toy. I hate that. I hate that
Vibha (kissing sid's hair): When they got to know about you? I mean they kidnap wrong boy
Sid (hiccup): After few weeks but for them it was too late. I mean I have seen them. I have seen how they used to kill people. So they planned if they returned me then I tell everything and they will get punishment. So they kept me with them
Abhi (controlling his tears): Then?
Sid (stammering): I used to live there with them. Don't knew anyone. Murders, smuggling scared me alot but I don't knew what to do. I used to do whatever they ask, eat whatever I get, sleep wherever they ask. In all this I learnt about decoding, missions, tricks and many things which sharpens the brain. I don't know when I started forgetting but I know that the smell of drugs, blood starts taking place in my mind
Vibha (wiped sid's tears): When and How you freed from all this?
Sid (took deep breath): 3yrs ago. On that day. Police came there. Police got to know about everything I think. So to arrest everyone but mom one was with me, he took me out of that place and we both saved from police then person was talking with someone saying he sold me. So he will get money. Police is behind so meet him somewhere and take me

Abhi and Vibha shocked

Sid (sobbing violently): Mom... mom..... I... mom.. I... kill that.... mom I kill that man.... I kill that man. Police... was..... be... behind us... So.. I ran... from there

He broke down. Vibha hug him tight. Taking him in her embrace. She let him cry. Abhi roo hug her and was sobbing. Once both calm down

Vibha (cups sid's face): Then what happened?
Sid: For long I was running to be away from police. When I got tired I sat somewhere place I don't know. After many hours. Gautam with uncle, aunty came there then they took me with them (held Vibha's hand) Mom I am sorry. I am sorry. I don't knew how I killed that person. Please don't inform police, mom. I want to live with you and Gem. Please mom sorry (he held his ears, he was scared alot)

Vibha (cups his face): Calm down. I will not inform police. Calm down. I know killing someone is crime but you did to save yourself. Never in life do anything like this, Okay?

Sid nodded. Vibha held abhi's hand in her on hand and sid's in other hand

Vibha: Now listen both of you. Abhi, I know we lost Sid but that time you were just 5years old. You aren't at fault at all. Abhi, you informed me as soon as you could but we couldn't find Sid. So it was never your fault and Sid, see bacha I know you killed someone but you didn't did anything. You need to save yourself that's why you did. So no one is at fault. Keep this in mind. Sid never in future do anything like this, Okay?

Both nodded

Vibha (smiled): That's like my good boys. Sid, Abhi now you both leave the past and let's live present happily. You both always be with each other and take care of each other, hmm?

Abhi: Yes
Sid: Yup

Vibha (pulling both of them in hug): Let's live happy life now. Gem, champ and mom
Sidshek: Mom you can't call him gem/ champ
Vibha (chuckled): Okay! You both are my lifeline
Sid: I love you and Gem more than anything. I missed you alot
Abhi: We too miss you champ. We were incomplete without you

Both the brothers kiss Vibha's cheek. Trio hug with happy tears. Ready to begin new life, new memories with each other
