At break, Ayu and ved hugged each other.

Ved: "Tu yaha phir se kaise aa gaya, shaurya bhai ka idea to work kar gaya tha na phir?"

Ayu: "Yeah....but abhi shaurya bhai nahi hai, Bhaiya hai or unke aage meri ek bhi baat nahi chalti or Dad bhi strict behave kar rahe."

Ved: "Purani wali trick phir se use kar."

Ayu: "Kiya tha, or agar ek or baar kiya to dad ka to pata nahi but bhaiya se maar padegi. Or I know wo aise hi nahi bolte unhone ek baar thappad bhi maara hai or sacchi zor se tha. Woh aur Abhi bhai friends hai."

Ved: "Tabhi aise the. Ye baat mujhse better kon jaan sakta hai, Abhi bhaiya bhi kam khadoos nahi hai."

Nishant: "Abhi bhai na bahut acche hai, teri harkate hi aisi hai ke tujhe maar padni hi chahiye. Phir bhi woh har baar tujhe chachu se bachate hai."

Ved: "Or ye raha Nish, bhaiya ka chamcha. Tujhe thodi punish karte hai wo mujhse puch kaisa lagta hai." Nishant whacked Ved.

Nish: "Bhaiya ne kaha hai na mujhe bhai bol tu. Tu chota hai mujhse."

Ved sulks. "Sirf 8 months. Aap bhi mean ho bss bhaiya aap ko punish nahi karte."

Nishant: "Meri teri tarah harkate nahi hai"

Ayu: "Nir bhai ye goody shoe aap ka best friend kaise hai?"

Nir: "Ye baat to mujhe bhi nahi pata. bhaiya mujhe bolte hai iske jaisa banu."
Ved laughed.

Ved: "Mere ghar p bhi yahi haal hai. Bhaiya bhi yahi bolte hai. Waise naya icecream parlour khula hai school ke pass chal chalte hai kisi din."

Nir: "Really, school ke baad chalte hai." Excited.

Ayu: "Abhi hi chalte hai na school khtm hone mein abhi 2 hours aur hai or mujhe bore ho raha jis teacher ko dekho mujhe bol raha hai ke main acche se behave karu."

Nishant: "Hum classes khtm hone ke baad jaayenge."

Ved rolls his eyes. "Bhaiya pick karne aane wale hai, Aapko lagya hai wo jaane denge?"

Nishant: "Tujhe nahi jaane denge aaj phir late slip mili hai aaya to tu mere sath hi tha, phir class k liye kaise late ho gaya or traffic tujhe school ke andar kidhar mila."

Ved: "Chup karo aap, or hum abhi jaa rahe break khtm hone ke pehle pehle aa jaayenge."

Nishant: "Chup kar Ved, break khtm hone mein 5 minutes hi bache hai. Or agar tu gaya na to main bhai ko kll raat wali baat bata dunga." Ved eyes widened.

Ved: "Kon si raat wali baat?" Nervously

Nish: "Yehi ke tu har raat milk sink mein dal deta hai, morning wala to bhai tujhe zabarjasti pilate hai raat wala bhi shuru kar denge daat ke pilana"

Ved nervously: "Okay fine hum school ke baad hi chalte hai." Ayu looked at him in disbelief.

Nir: "Sabke bhaiya ek jaise hi hote hai kya. Mujhe to lagta tha mere bhaiya hi sab se jyada strict hai."

Ayu: "But tere pass bhaiyu to hai na. Mujhe bhi karan bhaiyu jaisa bhai chahiye."

Nir: "Tune kabhi unka gussa nahi dekha hai isliye keh raha hai." Bell rangs and they went to there classes.

Time skips when school over. Driver came to pick Nirvaan and Ayu. They told them to wait for an hour.

Ved: "Chal na, abhi hum kyun ruke hai?"

Nishant: "Abhi bhai ko aane de phir chalenge hum."

Ved: "No chalo, bhai late hai isme hamari kya galti." Drags him outside and they all went to icecream parlour.

Abhimanyu comes there in next 5 minutes but didn't find ved and Nishant. He waited for next 25 minutes then take out his phone.

Abhi: "damn it aadhe ghanto se wait kar raha hoon aur ise icecream khani aaj hi. Agar nishant ko promise nahi kiya hota to kabhi nahi aata lene."

Kalyani sees him: "Abhimanyu, ved's brother right?"

Abhi: "Yes"

Kalyani: "Oh hello, mein ved ki class Teacher." That's when Ved and his friends comes there.

Ved: "Mar gaye ye kali naagin bhaiya se kya baate kar rahi." Ayu gave him pity look.

Kalyani sees them. "Abhimanyu, your brother is here. Ye ghar jaate time bhi late hai, mujhe laga sirf school mein late ho jaata hai." Abhimanyu confused.

Abhimanyu: "But ye to time pe aata hai, Nishant?" Ved gaves puppy eyes to Nishant who rolls his eyes in return.

Nishant: "Haan bhai woh"

Kalyani: "Nishant. Tum iske sath?"

Abhimanyu: "Yes ma'am actually Nishant is also my brother."

Kalyani: "Oh, bht hi accha baccha hai Abhimanyu. Abhi 1 month pehle hi aaya hai but sab kuch cover up kar liya." Abhimanyu rufffles his hair and smiled.

Kalyani: "Par Ved," ved mentally palms his face. "Ved bhi padhai mein accha hai par mehnat nahi karna chahta hai, bilkul bhi puntual nahi hai har din late aata hai tumhe to pata hi hoga, slips pe sign rehti hai to." Ved gulped he always copy signature.

Kalyani: " Or to or class mein kaise behave karte hai ye bhi nahi pata. He belongs to decent family make him understand that. Uniform bhi aawaro ki tarah pehen ke aata hai loose tie, standing collar. Please make him understand." Ved gulped receiving a dangerous glare from Abhimanyu.

Abhimanyu: "I am sorry on his behalf mam, I'll talk to him" kalyani nodded and lefts.

Ayu: "Hello, Abhi bhai." Abhi smiled seeing him.

Abhi: "Hello baccha, good to see you" Ab aap ki heath kaisi hai uncle se baat bhi karni hai mujhe monthly checkups ki date aa rahi hai." Ayu gulped.

Ved: "Kya bhaiya ye doctor mode band karo aap. Jaha dekho shuru ho jate ho. Late jo raha hai ghar chlo"

Abhi: "Kaha the tum log, main half an hour se wait kar raha tha." Ved zipped his mouth not wanting to add more trouble for himself.

Nishant: "Bhai, hum pass wali Icecream shop pe gye the."

Abhi: "Atleast inform to karna tha na, main kabse wait kar raha tha."

Nishant cutely: "Sorry"

Abhi smiled: "It's okay, come let's go. Aapke friends kaise jaane wale hai?"

Ayu: "Driver uncle aaye hai" Nir also nodded.

Ayu: "Bhai, aaj aap Ved to ghar bejh do na please" Abhi sees Ved with stern look.

Ayu insisted: "Please na bhai, main kitne dino baad aaya hoon. Nir bhai or Nishant tum log bhi aao hum sath mein play karenge."

Ved: "bhaiya please na"

Abhi: "Vedu, dad se puch"

Ved: "Okay, call karo aap."

Akshara: "Naitik busy the to maine...."

Abhi: "It's okay aap ko Explainations dene ki zaroort nahi hai I know but unse kahiye Ved to baat karni hai unse." Abhi hands the phone to Ved.

Ved: "Dad, ne permission de di"

Abhi: "Fine ved and nishant 3 o' clock driver uncle drop kar denge or mein 6 o' clock pick kar lunga." They both nodded. "Now let's go. Ved come fast if you want to go to your friends house. We have to finish our discussion soon. Ved gulped but left.
