"Ruhi we have reached here. Why are you so quiet today and what would you like to have I can get you those." Chachu's voice made me come out of my deep thinking
"ha aa chachu I will have anything, I am not that choosy but did you inform Chachi about this .. I mean not that she... you do know what I mean right "
Suddenly I saw him clench his fist and guide me towards his house, the house seems awfully quiet and messy. It seems no one has been here for ages. I gave him a look but he just ignored and went off to get us dinner. I smell something fishy.
Hmm ruhi you are probably worked up and overthinking with that, I took the room that he told me to use and freshened up after that I started cleaning up everything, not big fan of cleaning but ya this house is too messy. while cleaning up ,one room caught my attention I went there to find some beer bottles hanged very neatly and looked good then I found a half-destroyed plant and some half-drunk up beer bottles and a book whose cover was half burned when I heard the calling bell I quickly went and closed but kept the book with me.
"Hmm Chachu, you got pizza they are my favs, how did you know "
" neelu told me you would like them, come on let's have them "
I set the tables
" Ruhi I think I need to invite you here quite often so that this house looks clean" he teased me
"Now that I know the way, you need not invite me I will come here whenever I want and irritate you with my talks, anyways ma has lost all her patience because of me. So now I will test yours " he laughed at that
"You know Ruhi, you remind me a lot of Bhai and Bhabhi, Bhabhi used to constantly scold me to keep my room clean, and Bhai he very well knew to make anyone his with just a few words, now I get why neelu told me that a single day without you the house seems all quiet and lonely because just like bhai and Bhabhi you bring life to home.
Ruhi being the youngest one every one pampered me then neelu was born and I became a big brother but never was big enough for bhai and after we lost our parents, bhai was everything and slowly Bhabhi took up my mom's place and I " he choked a little I knew he was getting emotional thinking about them, I gave him the space, he needs this let out.
" I was the worst brother anyone could ever have, I could never return their love, I could never adhere to the values they thought me, I could never be there for you ruhi if not for me and seema didi then we would have still been in that house which is rightfully your's I failed them and what did I gain again emptiness and you are here who should be hating me now but is Instead trying to brighten my mood and get me attached to neelu and jiju. How should I thank you ruhi ? Will you ever be able to forgive me for all that I have done, " he said this and kneeled and put together his palm in front of me. I saw wanted to cry but I shouldn't not now.
" chachu if you were a worst brother than ma and papa would have never reached for badi ma, and you were there for them and still is and about me I have my ma who loves scolding me but at the same time feels extremely proud of me and looks after me with love and care and papa whose princess I am, he loves pampering me and then di she is my everything now tell did I lose anything and if you're talking about the house then I don't think forcing people to stay under a roof would have increased love and care the fact that badi ma doesn't like or more like hates me that's never gonna change even if we lived in one house and may be it would have gotten worse and that's everyone's property not only mine and about mistakes everyone makes that but accepting there mistakes and repenting for the same is only done by few who hails a lot of courage for that and you do have that, I am no one to forgive you chachu because all this happened when I was too small to even recall these events yes I did lose my parents but I have never felt so because of my family which now you are also a part of so my superman chachu cheer up and I am famished you shouldn't make your poor little niece give such a long speech when she is very hungry " I said and smiled
