Dreams.....

Chapter-50

The waves crashed against the rocks breaking into smaller forms , but that didn't deter their determination  to reach the one they love. The full moon shined brightly over the clean sky letting its reflection sparkle over the torrid waves, urging its lover to meet him at horizon.  The silver rays turned the waves desperate as they kept on coming back with stronger determination. This could be inspirational for any, like the two friends who sat under light of moon watching the waves trying to touch their lover in the sky. ''I never thought I would see you again.'' Neil said watching the waves

''Me too, I would think of you but then revenge consumed me so bad that I pushed all behind my head.'' He paused and then looked at his childhood friend, ''I am sorry.'' It was an heart felt apology. Neil smiled, ''I already have forgiven you, I am just too happy to have you back. Let's celebrate.'' With that he handed Arjun a can of beer, the friends cheered bringing the drink to their lips

Neil took a sip, ''Look at the irony, we got separated, married the best friends and now when we met we are separated from our partners.''

''I want her to come back. But she never tried reaching out to me.'' Arjun added lost in Radhika

''And mine refuses to talk. I have to go through her lawyer even for a simple message.'' Neil said taking another sip

''Where is Sam these days?''

''Singapore, she has a good client base. She travels every 3 months.''

''And since when she has been doing this?''

''Past 4 years, I know what are you thinking. I thought the same, but I really don't want it to be true.'' Neil seemed making a prayer

''What is it that you don't want to be true?'' Arjun asked confused

''About Sam having an affair...'' Before he could add more Arjun laughed making Neil frown, ''Boss my wife as kicked my butt and you are laughing.''

Arjun controlled his laughter and explained, ''Your wife is indeed having an affair, but with my runaway wife.''

Neil spat his beer, ''Chashni is in Singapore!'' Arjun nodded. ''Are you sure?'' Arjun pulled out a picture and gave it to Neil. "your sister too is aware.'' Arjun nodded, ''So she also travels every 3 months.'' That was a statement rather than a question

''Yes, and sometime she stays back for months. And now she acquired this strange habit of arguing over small things, like kids. Must say Radhika affect ''

Neil held his head in his palms, ''We are screwed. Sam wouldn't let you know of Chashni's whereabouts and even if we know of it, CHashni will throttle me for hurting Sam.'' They both picked another can gulping in one go.

''What do we do?'' Neil asked

''For now, lets just forget all or my brain will burst.'' The two got completely drunk laughing and getting emotional about silly things. A patrolling constable gave the duo a disgusting look , as they hugged each other. He took them to be a couple and ran off fearing his safety.

Radhika woke up to a house full of commotion, she checked the time and jumped of the bed realising it was half past 8. Quickly freshening up she made her way out to the room to be greeted by an adorable sight.

''Mamu you want a hug.'' Anya stood opposite to Ankush with her arms opened wide. Ankush smiled pulling the little one to his chest. Radhika smiled, whenever her kids would be sad or gloomy she would offer them a hug and now they had picked it up.

He eyes searched for Anusha and next moment popped out. Dilip had her seated on his lap feeding her the breakfast listening to all kind of blabber. Radhika slumped next to her brother, ''Dad never fed any of us''
