Nandini:- bacha don't rub your eyes, it will burn and pain you. Go and wash you face bacha.
Manik got up and went in the bathroom and washed his face and came out but his clothes were wet.
Nandini:- Manik I told you too wash your face not your clothes (laughing hahaha)
Manik:- with a pout mumma please do something mani is feeling cold.
Nandini immediately went to the closet in the room and saw a shirt ,and gave it to him.

Nandini saw he is feeling uncomfortable with the stares.
Nandini:- she shouted Can't everyone stop staring at him and let him have his food in peace.
Full people in the canteen stopped staring at him as their didn't want to lose their job.

Nandini hugged him and kissed his forehead.
The car stopped and both saw that they have reached home.
Manik got of the car and ran inside, and shouted bhai, bhaiyu.
Cabir came out with a smile and Manik hugged him.
Cabir then broke the hug and saw a plaster on Manik's forehead , he was going to ask but Nandini blinked her eyes say that she will till him later.
Cabir nodded his head and he saw Manik lost as if he is thinking something.
Cabir :- Manik he shouted.
Manik:- bhai why are you shouting in my poor ears and he started rubbing his ears.
Cabir was laughing seeing him like that.

Manik:- whined Mumma see bhai na he is laughing on me.
Nandini looked at Cabir and Cabir made signs to take his side.
Nandini:- bacha you must have done something funny to make him laugh .
Cabir started laughing again at Manik.
Cabir:- la la la my behna  took my side.
Manik pouted and showed his little finger to both of them and said katti and ran up to his room.

Cabir nodded and both went to do their path.
Nandini went in the kitchen and told the kitchen staff to leave for the day.
As the staff left Nandini started prepare the menu.
While Nandini was busy cooking, Cabir went to his room and took the gift that he brought for Manik and he went to his brother Manik's room.
Cabir thanked the god that Manik had not closed the room door.
Cabir went inside the room to see Manik sitting grumpy .

Cabir:- wiped Manik's tears and said Manik I will not say to forget those days but I will say try to make your self a strong man.
Manik :- nodded his eyes and said come lets play bhai.
Cabir :- you play I will join you later as I have work.
Manik nodded his head and asked Cabir to fix it for him.
Cabir fixed the xbox for Manik and left.
Manik started playing it in high volume.
In the meanwhile Abhi had returned from work and freshened up , changed his clothes and was sitting in the living room.
Cabir came and sat next to him just then Nandini had just finished making dinner.
Nandini came out and saw both the bhai and Bhaiyu  sitting in living room.
Cabir saw Nandini and made signs for her to sit.
Nandini understood that Cabir wanted to know what happened to Manik.
Nandini told Cabir and Abhi about what Soha said and did ,that how he got hurt.
Cabir was very angry now but Abhi calmed him down.
Nandini:- bhai we need to teach him to defend himself.
Cabir:- Abhi only you can train him.
Abhi:- ok but I will be very strict with him . You both know how strict I am.
Cabir:- Abhi I would be ok with you being strict but don't be very strict as he is still a kid.
