♡ ANAISHA ♡

"Didi !" I heard a squeal. I stood up in jerk seeing Aaryan running to me with opened arms. I picked him, he wrapped his legs around my waist,"oh Munchkin , didi is really sorry to leave her lil brother alone !"

He nuzzled into my neck,"No sorry ! Aaryan love her didi !" ,"Aww , didi loves her Munchkin too." I caressed his hair when I saw mom walking in behind Shubham who was holding two suitcases. Mom's face lit up after her gaze fell on me.

"What are all this Shubham ? Why they are here ?" I questioned curiously. "Well Aaryan , your lil brother was crying for you. So I decided to bring him here !" he answered. "Didi ,you know , Ankit uncle bought me ice-cream when I was crying." Munchkin squealed in my arms.

"Hey buddy. Don't call me uncle , call me bro or Ankit !" Ankit whined entering inside. Aaryan and mom burst into giggles. I adored them then pulled Aaryan to my shoulder,"You were missing didi ?" he nodded while pouting.

"I too missed you !" mom murmured walking to me. I gave her my arm so that she can hug me. She gladly accepted. "Aww !" I heard Ankit.

"Thank you ! I think we should leave soon !" I exclaimed. Shubham gave me look,"No you won't ! I already brought your stuffs . Look !" he pointed at the suitcases.

"No , I can't stay with you!" We argued then decided I will only stay until I get well. Shubham sighed,"Fine !"

"H-He ca-came ye-yesterday b-but he sa-saved m-me !" Mom sobbed pointing to Ankit who gave us a small sad smile. "Thank you so much Ankit !" I thanked me. "No problem ! But he is in jail now. He was behaving aggressively so that is what I decided. Well , he deserve that !" Ankit rolled his eyes.

I don't care about him anymore. Let him die in jail.

I am sorry god ! I know it's bad but I really don't care.

"But unfortunately," Ankit started , scratching the back of his neck,"this little buddy saw everything , he got nightmare past night. I am sorry !"

.

I laid Aaryan and tucked him in his bed. I sat caressing his hair.

Today, Mr. & Mrs. Chaudary, Suraj and Tina came to meet me. They were really upset. I sigh. Pratik was angry ,as he wanted murder anyone. I am so lucky to people like them. He and Ankit played with Aaryan.

I didn't realise when ,my eyeleads dropped. My sleep disturbed when I heard sobbing sound. I saw Aaryan getting nightmares.

He was throwing his hands and legs in air,"No sorry...I am sowwy .... Sorry... Stop..no.. please...!"

"Aaryan. open your eyes! Baby see didi is here! Come on, open your eyes!" He was awake but his cries never stopped.

I took him outside so that mumma don't get up. "shh.. it's ok!" I saw Shubham and his mom descending down from the stairs while Ankit and Pratik ran out of the other guestroom.

"What happened ? Why is he crying ?" aunty said. "He got nightmare." I said. "give him !" aunty asked. She cooed him and rocked him. His cries died a little but not completely. His body was still trembling.

Suddenly a guitar sound echoed across the room. We turned to find Shubham descending through the stairs, playing a guitar.

"Itti si hansi
Itti si khushi
Itta sa tukda chand ka
Khwabon ke tinkon se
Chal banayeinn aashiyaan (x2)" sang Shubham

"Dabe dabe paaon se
Aaye haule haule zindagi
Hothon pe kundi chadha ke
Hum taale laga ke chal
Gumsum tarane chupke chupke gaayein
Aadhi aadhi baant le
Aaja dil ki ye zameen
Thoda sa tera sa hoga
Thoda mera bhi hoga apna ye aashiyan" aunty too joined.
