************************************

In the morning Arjun woke up, a smile graced on his face staring at Manik who slept cuddling him tightly ruffled his hair gently, "Good morning mannu!" N gave a forehead kiss.

Manik feeling his touch smiled in his sleep. Gently moving him not disturbing his sleep Arjun got up n left covering properly.

He got fresh n came down, saw everyone in the living room having their coffee joined them.

Arohi forwarded him the cup n took place beside. Taking a sip he felt relaxed stared at his brothers. As the truth has come shocker for them but watching them having normal conv. With their partners he sighed, "Tum dono theek ho na?" Startling them.

Both looked at him then at eachother gave a nod, "Haa bhai... We are fine!"

"Hum toh bahut kuch jante tey... Siwai  badepapa ke bare mei..... Ab toh woh sab bi pata chala! We are fine with it bhai... Aur we are proud of him!" Arav replied.

Arjun gave a nod... Abhi looking at him, "Bhai .... Mannu?"

"So raha hai!" He replied n everyone left to have breakfast.

Manik woke up a little late, looking around the room he frowned not finding anyone, came down saw all were having a conversation.... Silently moved towards Arjun.

"Uth gaya tu?" He smiled. With a nod he sat beside n cuddled him bringing frown on their faces.

"Mannu?" Abhi called him caressing his back gently.

Manik lifted head n looked up at him.... Grabbed his hand tightly. All got worried as he is being very silent.

"Mannu... Aap theek ho?" They asked again. Watching their worried faces he gave a small nod. They understood he is still disturbed over the things which he got to know.

"Chalo... Mannu... Tyar hojao... Office jana haina!" Arjun told n stood up taking him along assuring others he would handle.

Coming inside he saw him still standing silent turned to face him, cupped his face "Mannu........ Kyu pareshan ho? Aab toh sab clear haina!"

Staring at him, tears formed in his eyes which he tried to hold, " Kaise bardash karliya aap itne dukh ko Bhaiyu? Kabhi humhe pata chalne nahi diya.... apne dard ko. Kaisa karliya aap?" He asked as the man standing in front has been through hell in every phase of life but still maintained the smile on his face not showing his weakness to anyone.

"Itne dukh mei ... Ek bache ko palna... asan nahi .... Par aapne kabi yeh ehsaas nahi dilaya ki kitna khasht horaha aapko. Humesha mere har bematlab ke zidh or demands ko pura karne tyaar rehte aap..... Woh bhi chehre pe muskurat ke saat. Hum sab ajaan tey... Aapke dard se.... Joh Raaz papa ne aapko bataya... Aap usko apne ander itne saal dafna diya..... Mujhe pata hai.. agar yeh attacks nahi hota... Yeh sab kabi aap hume nahi batate... Kyunki... Woh sunhe layak nahi .... Woh shekhwat insaan nahi... Haiwaan hai.... Itne masoom zindagion se khel raha....... Mera ruh... Abi bi kaamp raha yeh sochkar ki kaise un nahne se bachon ko beirami se maara diya usne!" He mumbled in shivered tone.

Hearing him Arjun wrapped arms around, "Relax Mannu.... Shh... Take deep breaths!" He Whispered in gentle tone. Manik followed his words feeling safe.

Noticing him relaxing Arjun took a step back stared into eyes.... Cupped his face, "Look into my eyes mannu!"
