Sid felt her continous gaze on him and he knew she was watching him. He sighed.

Sid: I lost my mom on today's date. It's 5 years since she left me

He said in a heavy voice. Tears again started forming in his beautiful hazel eyes. Those eyes were beautiful but they showed so much of pain. Avu let out a hot breath and got up to sit beside him. But then she remembered he doesn't like cigarettes. She was in dilemma what to do. But then she sighed and thew it away and sat beside. He kept a hand on his shoulder. He turned his face away. He closed his eyes to stop those tears from flowing down as he didn't want to show it to her or to anyone in the world.

Avu: I am really sorry for your loss. I was not aware about it. And ya don't worry Siddharth. You don't become weak by crying. In fact it's ok to cry at times. You definitely will feel light. And when you loose someone so close to you. It's so natural to cry. Anyone will. And trust me no one will judge you. At least not me

Sid: What you think I haven't cried ever? Till date I am living in this pain and didn't even cry after loosing her. She was my whole life. Yes I have cried multiple times. But still I just can't get over it. It still hurts so much. Leave ending, this pain is not even getting less. Instead it's just increasing with passing time

Avu: Then maybe you need to share this with someone. Hiding this pain inside you. Not showing anyone. Probably you will show the world you are so rough and tough. You will make the world believe how ruthless and heartless you are. But the pain will never end. And I am sure today wherever your mother must be....she won't be happy to see her son like this. In so much of pain. It must be hurting her so much. How will she get the peace? How will her soul rest in peace? If her son will be in so much pain. And she will to blame herself for all this. For all your pain

Sid couldn't control anymore and broke down. He didn't know what came to him he just turned around and hugged her. She was shocked for moment but didn't react. Instead she just wrapped her arms around her and rubbed his back. She just let him cry. She didn't stop him but instead helped him letting it out.

Maybe he was in need to cry in someone's arms which he didn't do till date. His father couldn't be a good father to get him out of this pain and moved on. It wasn't like he didn't love or care for him. It's just he never understood him or his feelings. He brought him a step mother. It was his responsibility to help them get close to each other. If he decided to start a new relationship he should have tried to make Sid understand about it. He should have help Sid and Riya accept each other. He should have make Sid understand atleast respect her because she is elder than him if not as a mother. He should have given them time to settle with each other. Though Riya was never comfortable with him or could never like or accept him because he wasn't her own blood but she never hated or deprived him of his basic needs. That was where his father should have taken action. But he completely failed and Sid was completely broken.

But today finally he did cry out in front of someone. He shared his pain with someone. He never did it intentionally. He never even wished to. He never thought such a thing will ever happen. But maybe he was tired and couldn't hold anymore. He tried to push her away a lot but as they kept bumping into each other and he felt that she was not judging him, he ended up in this state in front of her.
