Prologue

A 15 year old boy came running to his brother who was seated on a chair, sipping his coffee, he hugged him from behind.

Ayan enthusiastically kissed his cheek "Good morning bhaiya" His brother smiled kissing his forehead.

Arnav "Good morning bacha! Aaj itni jaldi uth gaya" The boy pouted sitting on his lap, snuggling close to him.

Ayaan -"Aap kal bhi mujhse mile bina chale gaye the, pata hai kitna miss kiya maine aapko"

Arnav smiled and pulled him closer -"Sorry bacha, i had to leave early the work was really important"
Ayan nodded and burried his face in chest

Ayan -"Aaj aap mujhe school chod doge?" He asked hopefully.

Arnav -"Ayu tu apne bhaiyu ke saath kyun nahi chala jata, woh ghar pe hi hain na woh drop kardega tujhe,meri ek bohut important meeting hai aaj"

Ayaan's face fell -"mujhe school nahi jana"

Arnav gently -kya hua bacha"

Ayan shook his head -"bhaiya mujhe bhaiyu ke saath nahi jana, please aap drop kardo na school"

Arnav's eyes blazed in anger -"Phir se kuch bola usne tujhe, main abhi usse baat karke aata hun"

Ayaan held his hand -"Nahi bhaiya, aap please unse kuch mat boliye woh pareshan the na issi liye gusse main bol diya unki galti nahi thi"

Arnav cupped his cheeks -"ismein teri bhi koi galti nahi thi ayu, go freshen up main school chod deta hun tujhe" Ayaan nodded happily and went from there.

Arnav sighed, he needed to talk to his Brother, Anish needed to understand that he can not push his little brother away all the time, but the question was would he listen?

Arnav walked in anish's room and as he thought his room was a big mess, he sighed!

Anish was about to throw a vase when he noticed arnav standing at the door, he lowered his hand and looked away.

Arnav -"So, this is the way you deal with things anish?"

Anish looked at him -"Sorry bhaiya"

Arnav sighed -"Yeh sorry tujhe ayu ko bolna chahiye ani, kya galti hai mere bache ki, kyun daant diya usko bekaar main?"

Anish hurt -"ab sirf wohi aapka bacha hai bhaiya, main nahi?"

Arnav cupped his face -"tu bhi mera hi bacha hai ani, but i can't let you hurt the kid when he is nowhere at fault, stop punishing him for the thing he never did"

Anish looked away hurt -"i can never accept him bhaiya, he just reminds me of bitter memories"

Arnav sternly -"Shutup Anish! Ayu ki koi galti nahi hai and i'm done explaining this to you!"

A tear slipped from anish's eyes -"aapko sirf wohi dikhta hai bhaiya, mera dukh nahi dikhta aapko? uski wajah se aaj humare beech.."

Arnav-"Bas Anish! Stop repeating that thing again and again. Kitni baar samjhaun main tujhe ani? Woh bacha tarasta hai tere pyaar ke liye aur aaj tak tune sirf usse dukh pahuchaya hai ani, kya galti hai us bache ki? Kis baat ki saza de raha hai tu usse?"

Anish looked away -"mujhe is baare main koi baat nahi karni bhaiya,please mujhe akela chod do"

Arnav made him look back -"Abhi bhi waqt hai sambhal ja Anish, isse pehle bohut der hojaye! Mat kar ayu ke saath aisa, ayu doesn't deserve this"

Arnav stood up -"Don't speak anything silly infront of him anish,he's too innocent to understand the reason behind your hatred. Main tum dono main se kisi ko bhi takleef main nahi dekh sakta, it's time you understand this"

Arnav walked away leaving a hurt anish behind. Anish looked at his retreating figure, will his brother ever understand his point of view? Was ayan so important to him that he chose to ignore the pain in his eyes?
Whatever it was, he will never forgive ayan, never!
