All of them are looking at Sid and Abeer with a shocked face, when Sid spoke!

"This bast*** is the one and only reason for whatever happened here bhai!"

Mahir and others looked at them with a shocked face. What does it means?

"Isne Humare vihu ko black mail Kiya hai bhaiya...Ki WO AAPSE DUR REH WARNA HE WILL KILL YOU!" Mahir's eyes widened in shock. Kabir and Anu gasped.
Abeer wiped the blood, which is flowing on his lip and looked at mahir with an evil smirk.

"Maine kaha tha na Mahir...kisi na kisi...din Tujhse zarur BADLA lunga...Le liya na...Vihan...will be DEAD! Mujhe pata hai kitna pyaar karte ho tum usse... isiliye ye sab kiya maine...Uske sab sach..maine bataya...fir usse black mail Kiya tha mai.....Aur pata hai... Abhimanyu ko bhi maine hi galat proofs diya tha... isiliye wo bhi itna rude tha tere saath...Ab sab kuch khatam ho gya mahir...Vihan is going to die...and I am going to see you cry! Acha hai..n..a" And he laughed like a mad. But the next second, His face jerked to the other side as a powerful Punch came in contact with his face. Mahir started to punch him, holding him, harshly! He is bleeding a lot. But Mahir wants to KILL HIM!

"HOW DARE YOU ABEER RATHOD? MERE BACHA KO BLACKMAIL KIYA TUMNE? " He punched him soo hardly, that he fell down.No one dared to stop Mahir. The singhania's got tensed. Arjun and Avinash was shocked with whatever is happening here. Again mahir started to thrash him, But some ward boys and Kabir and sid separated them both...few doctors arrived there. Ananya felt a anger rising in her, she is so desperate to kill him. Abeer Rathod just don't know, with whom he had messed up, He will pay in spades for what ever he did. Neither Singhania's nor Thakkur's nor Sid is going to leave him, alive! And About mahir, Abeer could get no mercy, once mahir steps in, in the process of killing him. Abeer will regret his all crazy, bravery plans. Mahir will make sure of it. Abeer just don't know, what's waiting for him in future. By the time, mahir will be done with him, He would scare to live his rest of the life!

The Singhania's are still clue less about what is happening, though they got it, that it has some connection with their family, as he mentioned Abhimanyu's name. But Arjun and Avinash is different. They both are too shocked to react.

"Agar vihan ko kuch bhi hua na...Abeer...I will KILL YOU...in the worst possible way." He gritted his teeth...His nostrils flared in anger. He is Seething with anger.

"Aap logon ko ladna hai toh pls bahar jaiye. This is hospital. You cannot behave like this." The Chief doctor stated firmly, Kabir apologized.

Kabir came near abeer and pulled him up, harshly holding his collar. And looked straight into his eyes. His eyes are burning with anger!

"You touched the wrong person Abeer. You have invited your death by yourself! Vihan ko pareshan kar ke bahut badi galti kar di tumne... Zinda nahi bachne wala tu ..yaad rakhna" Abeer stood without any care..Mahir's anger is rising. The doctor came out. Mahir was near him within the next second.

"Doctor how's vihan..thik hai na?" Others came near him.

"Mr. Malhotra, he is very critical. He is not responding to our any treatment. It's like, he has no interest on living his rest of his life. I'm sorry but if he doesn't get consciousness in the next 24 hours, there are high chances, that we might lose him." Mahir stumbled back, Kabir gasped. Ananya cried loudly, while Meera held her. The singhania's looked at them with worried looks, but Arjun and Avinash got scared!

"Aap me se ek uske saath baith sakte ho...Baat kijiye usse...It may work!" The doctor left. Mahir is standing there, as if someone had snatched his life from him. Then he heard chuckles from Abeer. He rushed to him, all the anger rose up in a blink of an eye. That evil smirk of Abeer infuriated mahir. He bashed him badly, by hitting him, kicking him, punching him hardly, slapping him. There is no place without a bleeding in Abeer's body now, yet mahir is not satisfied. He cannot be! Mahir pinned him to the wall, and strangled him by his neck. All of them, tried to pull back mahir, but it looked like, mahir will not back off before killing him. At last Kabir had to pull back mahir, forcefully, yelling at him to stop. They can deal with Abeer later. That could wait. Now, They have to think only about vihan.

"Leave him now mahir, Baad me dekhte Hain isko...Vihu ke paas jao ab"  Kabir is holding Mahir firmly. Mahir gave one look at Sid, And a message passed through that.
Sid knows that look well, He gave him a smirk with a nod. And dragged out Abeer! Anu followed them with a furious look.

Kabir is calming down mahir, who is looking so pale. 

"Andar jao mahir...baat kar usse..Vihan will be fine..He cannot leave us.. Especially u! Don't lose hope..Go"
Mahir walked inside the ICU. Though he has the fear, He too knows that HIS Vihan can't leave him like this. He prayed to God...and walked close to Vihan, who is lying on the hospital bed...with his eyes closed...and so many machines are connected to him.
Mahir sat beside him and carressed his face.. lovingly! A lone tear escaped from his eyes.

Arjun and Avinash are very shocked with the truth, they don't know how to start up a conversation now..they decided to have a talk with them, once Their laksh wakes up. They are also scared but didn't expressed anything for now....But they could clearly see that, Mahir has some strong connection with their laksh. They could see that love in those eyes! They could see how much Mahir was furious on Abeer for hurting their laksh. Only few more time...Then they will unfold the truth infront of Everyone and then...they hoped everything will be good!
They just want to wait for few more time!

One Week later.....!

Vihan is just now discharged from the hospital. He is not completely fine yet. He is very weak. But vihan knows that.. except one medicine, no medicine could cure him. And that is, his BROTHER'S FORGIVENESS! After gaining consciousness, he saw everyone but not Mahir. Mahir didn't even came to check on him. When ever he asked about mahir, he got replies as,

"Medicine lene gya hai"

"Important call hai uska"

"Abhi aa jayega...rest lo tum"

From Kabir and Anu. They both knew what Mahir is doing, they tried to make him understand. But he stood stubborn. But they too know that mahir cannot behave like this for long... especially with his Lil bro! But they could see vihan is getting very upset on that. But they could not do anything for this. Though nobody told vihan about the truth, he could clearly see that, All of them knew about the truth! Mahir's silent treatment conformed it! They all thought to, talk with him about this, once he  gets completely fine. But our Brave vihan, found it some how! But he didn't expressed it!

On other hand, The singhania's stayed back in Malhotra Mansion! Once all of them, got to know the truth, they all were extremely happy! Abhimanyu is completely fine now. Yet his siblings are not letting him do his office works..He can handle them, but what can he do, when the whole family stood in their side. He can't defy them! So he stayed home. Abhi and Mahir built an gentle relationship in these few days. Abhi apologized for his behaviour. The Truth shook them all. Abhi is also extremely furious Abeer Rathod! Mahir had promised him, that when he pays Abeer a visit, he would definitely take Abhimanyu with him!

Also the Singhania's had built the good relationship with The Thakkur's! All the youngsters became good friends!

The Singhania's started to take care of vihan. They showered with Love! They pampered him. The singhania siblings had bonded good with him. Though vihan didn't talk much with them, they could not stop themselves from loving the boy. They could see the boy is not ready to take a first step to come in to their family. But still, he never disrespected him. Mahir had raised him well! They saw that in these few days itself! Vihan had answered what they asked, he spoke when something needed...but they could see that hesitation. So they didn't press more. They had waited for years, can't they wait for some more time. They can!

Vihan can't be more happy, when the car entered inside the Malhotra Mansion, he felt happiness raising inside him. He smiled, looking outside from the window! The car stopped infront of the main door, and abhi stepped down first. The ladies came near the door, from inside with the Aarti plate.
Abhi helped him to come there and they took Aarti and Then Vihan entered His home!

"Yeh lo vihu..drink this" Vihan sat on the sofa, and looked at his home all around with a misty eyes. That's when Anu handed him a glass of orange juice.

"Abhi nahi peena di"

"Kyu nahi peena? You are still weak vihu. Chup chap piyo"

"Di.. pls"

"Vihan" vihan soooo wished that voice had arrived from Mahir, but it's from Kabir! He knows that Mahir is yet not home. Still he wished! Abhimanyu and Kabir had entered inside with this scene. While Akshara and Samaira seated on the other side sofa. The other singhania men had not arrived home. Aahana, Aarti, Khushi are preparing breakfast. They went back to their work, after asking vihan how's he. They will come with Mahir. Vihan slowly took the glass to his lips and started to sip it slowly!

"Kyu nahi peena bacha..juice hi toh hai..drink it" Abhimanyu said to vihan, Aarush rushed to hug him, once he stepped inside.He kissed his forehead.

"Mahir kab aayega?" Abhi asked, Kabir looked at him with tensed look.

"He said, he will be here in a hour! Dekh the hai" Abhi sighed. And went to get fresh up, followed by Kabir.

That day, When Vihan gained consciousness, they all had the extreme happiness. They rushed to meet him. But Mahir stayed back. He only visited him, when vihan was in deep sleep after taking medicines. Then he would leave. Like this only, the days passed.And Today, Vihan is determined to have a talk with his Brother, No matter what! He will not drag it any more. He can't! It's high time, he has to talk with his brother. No more silent treatment is acceptable for him. He would accept any punishment for what ever he did. But he can never accept this. He will talk to HIS BHAIYA TODAY! by hook or crook!

"How are you feeling now Lucky?"
Akshara asked. Samaira hugged him, once he finished his juice.

"Thik hu" he replied, sadly. He is not at all in the mood to talk with anyone. Akshara carressed his face, and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"Todi der rest loge bacha?" Ayra asked.
He shook his head in no.

" Kyu bacha... Todi der rest lo na ."
Anu took said.

"Pls...di...mujhe bhaiya se baat kar na hai..I will take rest...lekin abhi nahi...pls"
They all looked at each other with a tensed face. But chose not to say anything.

Soon the breakfast was ready. Every one fed vihan. But he is looking sad, he wants to eat from Mahir's hand.

Vihan had waited till evening, but mahir didn't reach home. Others had arrived. He is getting tensed. When they all calmed him.
That's when they heard, A car horn. A tear escaped from vihan's eye!

Mahir entered inside, only to see the whole family looking at him. He frowned. What happened? But when he saw vihan, he looked away...and that hurted vihan.

He kept on looking at his bhaiya. He is seeing him after whole 1 week. It felt like 1 year for him. He promised himself to make mahir grovel to him. But it will happen only if he forgives him.

"Itna late kyu kiya beta? Laksh bahut pareshan ho gya tha" Mahir soo wanted to hug him now, but he controlled himself.
Aahana asked him.

"Traffic tha aunty...hmmm...Mai fresh ho ke aa ta hu" He walked to his room without sparing a look at vihan. Vihan walked to his room, after few minutes with Anu's help.

"Aap jao di...Mai bhaiya ke saath hi aa unga" Anu nodded and walked out.

(A/n - Hello guys! Vihan was blackmailed to do all this, so once mahir got to know everything, he will not become angry on him for doing all this, but for trying to take that one perilous step. So for that i think, he should not forgive vihu anytime soon. )

Mahir came out from washroom, after getting freshened up. He saw vihan sitting on his bed, with a sad face. He tensed. That's when vihan saw him.

"B..h..a..i..y..a.." Mahir closed his eyes to control his tears, which are threatening him, that they will flow out soon. Still he tried. While vihan choked and cried. He rushed to him and hugged him tightly, making mahir gasp.

"I'm sorry bhaiya...Pls mujhe maaf kijiye" Mahir stood without doing anything. Neither he rubbed his back, nor he pulled out of from the hug..nor he pushed him back! He cannot do anything of this NOW!

"I know bhaiya...Maine Jo bhi kiya...wo sab bahut galat hai.....Ground me for life bhaiya....Koi bhi saza manzur hai...lekin aapki khamoshi nahi...I can take anything but not this. Your silence is killing me bhaiya... Don't punish me like this bhaiya... I'm sorry... I'm very sorry!"
Vihan cried, loudly! Mahir's eyes clouded with tears. Yet he didn't do anything but stood with a stiffened position.

"Plsss...bhaiya baat kijiye mujhse...I cannot take your silence bhaiya...not anymore pls...Mujhe aise punishment mat dijiye...pls" For the First time!
Very First time, Mahir TALKED WITH VIHAN, after he gained his consciousness!

"And Who am I to punish you..vi.." he gulped,"Mr. Laksh  Singhania"

Vihan looked at with a shocked face.

"Bhaiya ..aap kya...bol rhe ho...Aap mere bhaiya ho... I'll be always your Vihan...kaise baat kar rhe ho aap?"
Mahir gently pulled him back from the hug, and looked straight in his eyes.

"I'm not punishing you. Who am I to do that? And why should I? Mai aapka apna toda hu.I'm no one to you Mr. Laksh. I have no rights on you. Ye sab maine nahi kaha waise bhi....aapne kaha tha...and.i took time to realise that. Aur kuch nhi. Aapke pariwar neeche hai, aap jaiye pls... Aur pls aap aise baatein dubara mujhse mat kijiye. I'm NO ONE TO YOU! Don't apologise to a stranger without having any fault on you. Pls go now"
Vihan looked at him blankly, Is he really talking to His brother? He doubted!

"Aapko ho kya gya hai bhaiya ...I know I have done something that i shouldn't have. Mujhe nahi chupana  tha aapse ye sab...maine aapko bahut kuch suna Diya...And still I'm hating myself for that.....I cannot forgive myself for that bhaiya...I shouldn't have talked like that to you bhaiya....I have hurted you bhaiya...and I'm very sorry....pls mujhe maaf kijiye...I cannot take this bhaiya.." He knelt down infront of mahir, and mahir gasped, and knelt down with him and vihan threw himself on his embrace and hugged him tightly, while mahir automatically started to rub his back!

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry bhaiya...Mujhe aapse aise baatein nahi karna tha .... I'm sorry..." Mahir kept on rubbing his back.

"Rona band karo pls... Tumari koi galti nhi hai... Sab galti meri thi, I was wrong.
Mujhe pehle hi Teri family ko dhund na chahiye tha...But i didn't. I failed to give you that love, which you would have got, if you were with your family. I failed to give all your expectations, which you would have been enjoying if you are with your family. But because of me, u didn't had this all.And I am very sorry for that laksh. Ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar do!"
Mahir pulled him back and made him sit on the bed, and said all this. Vihan stood up furiously, startling mahir.

"Bas...bahut hogya bhaiya...ab ek aur baar aapne aise kuch bhi kaha na...Toh...Mujhse bura koi nhi hoga...Aapko kya lagta hai ..Mai ye sab... baatein...aapne Dil se aapse kaha hu ..how could you think like that bhaiya? Only I know...how much heartbreaking it was for me... Isiliye Maine wo step liya tha...lekin fir bhi aapne hi mujhe...bacha...liya...lekin apko aise nahi karna tha..
*Aapko hurt karne se behtar Mai mar hi jaata bhaiya..*"

Mahir closed his eyes, in hurt and pain. The boy is still going to the same line. He wished he could beat some sense into him, that he will think a thousand times, before talking anything like this. But it remained as a WISH itself!

"Lekin abhi bhi koi der nhi hua hai....if you don't talk to me...now ..i swear bhaiya...is baar sachi me Mar jaunga!"
Vihan closed his eyes anticipating a tight slap. But he got nothing. That shocked him to core. But when he looked at Mahir's eyes, he could not look at that more than a second. The uncontrollable furious eyes scared him. But still, he is hurt that mahir didn't do anything. His bhaiya would have roasted him alive for speaking like this.

But VIHAN don't know that, what he is thinking now, will HAPPEN SOON! VERY SOON! Without knowing this, Vihan started to talk all the rubbish things which infuriated mahir, More!

"Get out of my Room, Mr. Laksh Singhania".mahir gritted his teeth in anger. He is going thin on patience. But the boy is not ready to leave soon. Atleast Not before Getting a tight slap from mahir!
Someone is very interested in getting a slap!

"Nahi jaunga ...kya karoge aap? Pehli baat aap mujhe, ye laksh bulana band kijiye...call me vihu! Mai aapka vihu hu!
DO NOT CALL ME LAKSH AGAIN BHAIYA!
Dusri baat, I'm sorry...Pls stop doing this and hug me bhaiya!"

"I told u, I'm not punishing you. Do not test my patience. G-E-T O-U-T! Now! " Vihan gulped. But if his brother is stubborn, he would love to show him, how much Stubborn he is!

"Pls bhaiya... Don't do this to me.... I'm telling you agar abhi aapne mujhse thik se baat nhi kiya na...toh....toh...dubara koi chance hi nhi milega aapko... kyunki Mai...ma......." A lone, relief tear escaped from Vihan's eye! As he got a SLAP! From MAHIR! HIS BHAIYA! He is feeling happy for that! But he don't know, he had pressed the wrong button to get a reaction!

"Kya kaha tumne? Mar jayega? What did u say?" Mahir placed an another slap, and vihan winced. It was hard!

"Kyu vihan? Why? Why are you killing me with your words? Tujhe aise karte hue dekhte hi mai mar gya vihan..Fir bhi tum baar baar yahi keh rhe ho? Kill me one time vihu... tumari haath se mar jaana se bhi mujhe khushi hoga vihu! I will die with happiness bacha..but plsss...I beg u pls ..vihu Don't repeat these words and kill me every time! Mujhse nahi hoga...i cannot hear anything like this"Mahir broke down completely. Vihan had never seen his bhaiya...like this. Mahir knelt down on the floor, hiding his face in his palms. Crying out loud! Vihan is shocked with this reaction. The damage he had done was very big. He should fix it. And he will.

"Bhaiya...pls...aap aise mat bolo. Mujhe us wakt me wohi...sahi laga bhaiya... isiliye Mai....." Mahir held his shoulders firmly, and made him look at him, his eyes had furiousness!

"Isiliye tum...mujhe chod ke jaane ka...faisla le lega? ....WHO GAVE YOU THAT RIGHTS VIHAN? Mere baare me ek baar nhi socha na tumne...Ye nahi socha ki Mai kaise rahunga tere bina? I cannot! U idiot. I just can't.  Meri JAAN HO TUM VIHAN! IF U EVER THINK ANYTHING LIKE THIS AGAIN, I WILL NOT BE THERE TO FORGIVE YOU VIHAN. YAAD RAKHNA!" vihan hugged him tightly, and cried. While mahir rubbed his back, crying himself.

The family saw them from the entrance of Mahir's room. They had just now arrived, as it's been long, since vihan was here. Everyone admired the scene! Finally! The brothers sorted out! Now they are fulfilled with  only love and Happiness!

"A bond that is tied by the Strong thread of True Love, cannot be broken!"

Mahir and Vihan hugged each other tightly.
Mahir kissed vihan's forehead multiple times.

"I love you vihu!"

"I love you too bhaiya!"
