Abhinavi's teasing lightened the mood. Sum was fine now.

With Sid

Sid went down in anger and stood under a tree. His hands were folded near his chest. Tears started flowing from his eyes remembering his painful past. Just then Avu came there running.

Avu's P.O.V.

This guy can never see me sad. He use to do a lot of efforts to bring a smile on my face whenever I use to be sad. Kabhi tease karta hai, kabhi tang kheechta hai, kabhi meri favourite chocolates laata hai. Just to make me happy. Just to cheer me up. Just for one smile on my face. Itni efforts mere lie. Not just me. He can never see anyone in pain especially our group. Unko khush rakhne ke lie itna sab karta hai. I could never imagine in my scariest dream ki jo ladka doosro ko khush karne ke lie itna sab kar sakta hai, usne khud itna kuch saha hai. He is trying to fix every single person when himself he is broken from inside. Why God? Why you are always cruel to innocent people? What has he ever done? Kisika bura karna to door, usne kabhi kisika bura socha tak nhi. And you not only snatched his parents but also gave him this much pain. And how can the close ones do such a heartless thing? Unhe ek baar bhi dard nhi hua aesi harkat karte hue? Ek baar bhi guilt nhi aaya? And those heartless people are happily and peacefully living there life inspite of all their bad deeds. And the innocent one is suffering. Is it fair?

P.O.V. ends

Avu went near Sid and kept his hand on his shoulder. He quickly wiped off his tears.

Avu: You don't have to hide your tears and pain. It's okk you can let all this out. It's completely fine

Sid: Avu please just leave me alone. I don't want to talk you or anyone at this moment

He said a bit coldly and loudly. Avu frowned.

Avu: When I am sad, my best friend never leaves me alone. So how can I leave him all alone when I know how much pain he is in hmm?

Sid: Avu I am not in mood to talk to you. Please jaoo yaha se

Avu: Shut up. I am not going anywhere leaving you in this state

Sid: Avu why don't you understand?

Avu: No I don't understand and I don't want to listen anything. Tumhe jo karna hai karlo

Sid just stood quietly looking down. Avu kept her hand on his shoulder and squeezed.

Avu: Sid I understand the pain of losing parents. I know how much it hurts. I know can't erase that pain but you can definitely share your pain. I am sure that will make you feel light. Baantne se dard halka ho jata hai. You don't have to be ashamed of me. I can feel you completely

He looked up in her eyes. She kept her one hand on his cheek. He could not control and broke into tears and hugged her tightly. She was taken aback because of his sudden action but then embraced him in her arms. She was caressing his hair. She didn't speak anything but her warmth helped his to relax. She let him cry his heart out because she knew he needed it and yes he cried in her arms without any fear of judgment.

He calmed down after sometime and slowly broke the hug. She wiped his remaining tears.

They sat down under the same tree. They were holding hands with fingers intervened unknowingly. They were randomly talking. Sid was fine now after his burst out.

Avu: Sid

Sid: Hmm

Avu: Don't you think you think you fought with Sumedh for no reason

Sid: Avu. You also? You know the value of parents right? You know life is nothing without them. Still you are supporting him

Avu: I understand your point Sid. But if they are Sumedh's parents that doesn't give them right to torture someone. That doesn't justify their cruel, inhuman acts

Sid: Avu I understand but

He stopped in between not getting words.

Avu: Okk. Keep yourself at his place. Assume if his parents were dead and your parents tortured him and took away his kidney, would you have supported your parents

Sid: No

He spoke immediately without a second thought.

Sid: I love my brother the most. He is my everything, my whole world. He is my first priority in the whole world

Avu: So Sid doesn't he love you the same way? Aren't you his whole world? Aren't you his priority?

Sid didn't have words to answer her as he knew she is saying correct.
