Sid was somewhat normal now after that incident. He was strolling around. He liked going on terrace but he knew Avu is usually there enjoying her leisure time and he didn't want to face her. So he preferred to walk around. He was enjoying this dark night alone walking here and there when he saw someone stood in front of him blocking his way. He was facing down so he didn't see the face. So he slowly looked up and there stood the person he was trying to run away all these days. He gulped seeing her. He really didn't have answers for her if she asked anything. So he quickly turned around to rush away without waiting for her to say anything.

Avu: Siddharth

She stopped him before he could leave but he didn't turn around. So she only moved in front of him. He was again about to turn on other side but she held his wrist tightly.

Avu: What is wrong with you Siddharth?

Sid: N..n..nothing

Avu: If it's seriously nothing then why the hell are you running away from me

Sid: It's nothing like that I was just strolling around and I want to be alone. I don't want anyone to disturb me. Atleast I can have some my time right? Even if you say I can't be alone my whole life atleast I can have some alone time in a day right? Same as you like to enjoy your alone time at night. Did I ever asked you any questions? No right? You smoke or do whatever to enjoy yourself no matter how harmful it is. Can't I even walk around? What's the problem in that now?

He tried to fool her and make her forget for whatever she came here so that he could run away from there.

Avu: Look I do smoke and I know how harmful it is but....I don't have any reason for that. I just do it. It gives me some enjoyment that's it

Sid: Did I ask why you do it? Same way you don't also need to. It's my life. Let me live it on my terms and mind my own buisness

Avu's hold got loose as she was thinking about whatever he said. He was about to run from there as he got a chance. But Avu suddenly remembered why she was here. So she immediately ran behind him and came in front of him and stopped him again.

Avu: Today you can't just change the topic and make me confuse. I want to ask you something and you will answer me today

Sid: Why? As far as I think I am not answerable to you

Avu: Siddharth please tell me what is wrong with you?

Sid: Nothing. I am perfectly fit and fine

Avu: No you are not

She moved forward and cupped his face and looked straight into his eyes.

Avu: I know you are not alright and you need help. And it's okk to not fill perfectly fine and it's completely normal to ask for help. You won't become weak by asking for help. In fact you need to be very strong to voice out your problems. To share your issue with someone and ask for help

Sid was standing quitely looking into her eyes and carefully listening to her words. For a moment, he felt like telling each and everything to her. He wished to share each and every pain and fear with her. He wanted to put the deepest of scars and wound in front of her from the ones he intentionally made on his skin or the ones he had on his heart.

Anyone could clearly recognize that mysterious pain and desperation to get out of it. So did she. She saw that in his eyes and wanted to cure every single pain of his and end the roots of his every pain.

But suddenly he started hearing some kids laughing and teasing him. He immediately got back in senses and moved his face. Avu realized she had cupped his face and thought he must be uncomfortable with the touch. So she separated her hands and fisted them. She brought them down and stepped back looking down.

Avu: I am sorry

She mumbled in a low voice.
