On The Terrace:

"Abhir! Kya hogaya tujhe? Kis baat ka gussa hain? Itna kya gussa hain ki tere haath shiver kar rahe hain aur tu phir bhi nahi ruk raha hain? Baat kya hain Bacha?" Neil enquired softly.

It looked like Abhir suddenly got cramps in his arms and Neil immediately tended to them. Once Abhir looked relieved, he asked again, not so gently this time.

"Abhir! Dekh kya haalat banadi tune apni. Tu strong hain but itna nahi ki iss had tak push karo apne aap ko.

Bhai ko pata chala na ki you are being so careless with your body, tu sochle ki woh tera kya haal karenge. You know your condition, you can't keep doing things like these."

Abhir hugged Neil tightly and he tried to calm himself down. Neil was confused with his reaction, he pulled back and said,

"Nahi kam hua na gussa? All this didn't help much. Am I right?" Abhir nodded.

"Phir baat kuch bahut serious hain. Abhir kya chupa raha hain tu? Seedhe seedhe bol varna main Bhai ko jaake bata dunga, tu kya kar raha tha." Neil warned him.

"Chachu! Aap mujhe blackmail kar rahe ho?" Abhir asked as he looked shocked.

"Blackmail nahi kar raha main. I am giving you options. Ya toh tu mujhe bolega ya Bhai ko. Bolega toh tu aaj pakka BETA. You have no option." Neil declared.

"Chachu! Aap mean ho rahe ho. Bol rahe ho ki option de rahe ho but phir bol rahe ho ki I have no option. You can't push me like that" He tried to defend himself.

"What about you? You can't push yourself to that extent too Abhir. Zyada logic mat laga. Agar tujhe lagta hain ki main mean ban raha hoon, toh theek hain.

Ban raha hoon main mean. Rahi baat tujhe push karne ki toh tu ne mere paas aur koi raasta nahi choda. Can't help it."

Neil responded in a raised voice. His voice was stern, and Abhir could see the seriousness there.

"Aap Papa ko mat batao please" Abhir requested meekly. He was looking scared.

"In that case, I am your best option. Tu pehle mujhe bol. Agar mujhe lagega ki I have to tell Bhai, toh main bolunga" Neil said firmly.

"Mat bolo Chachu. Bahut gussa karenge Papa. Ek hafte pehle hi toh class lagi thi meri. Ab ki baar..... sachi PITAYI hogi meri." Abhir sulked.

"Ab yaad aaya tujhe? Woh toh tujhe apni aisi haalat banane se pehle sochna tha na. Bhai galti se dekhlete toh? Phir kya karta?" Neil chided him and Abhir looked down.

Neil whacked him gently, "Ek hafta nahi sambhala gaya tujhse apne aapko. Chot lagwana chodo khud hi apni aisi haalat kardi. Agar pitayi bhi hogi na teri, toh tu deserve karta hain" Neil scolded him.

"Mat daanto Chachu. Please na." Abhir whined.

"Theek hain. Tu sach bol. Main poori try karunga ki tujhe na daantun." Neil solemnly spoke.

Abhir didn't know where to start. He didn't want to throw his Di under the bus no matter how angry he was at her. But he couldn't lie to his Chachu. So, he decided to side with the truth and let things take their own course. He just wanted to feel better, and sharing would make him feel much better. His Chachu will help him calm down and he didn't want to invite his father's wrath so soon. That wouldn't end well for him at all. Neil was patiently waiting for Abhir to speak up.
