"Maybe it's just your thought and she is hiding nothing from you." Declared Abhishek diverting his mind knowing what actually he is talking about. Siddharth was now annoyed.

"No dada, it's not my illusion. She always stammers when she lies. The main point which I don't understand is when she didn't hide anything about her stepmother and Ramesh then  is this even big than that?" Exclaimed Siddharth justifying himself. He snapped at Abhishek to find him looking here and there thinking what to say now.

"It's just your imagination, Ashu." Spoke Abhishek not getting anything and not even meeting his eyes with Siddharth which he caught. Siddharth held his brother's hand.

"Dada, you also." Siddharth sounded disappointed. Abhishek looked at him and opened his mouth to speak but Siddharth just stood up.

"What should I say to others, when my own brother has also started hiding things from me?" Said Siddharth with cracky voice and left from there while Abhishek face-palm cursing himself only.

****************

It was evening of Monday, Siddharth was late while Abhishek came before his arrival. Siddharth was a little disturbed so he wanted sometime alone. He was coming home after spending sometime with himself. As soon as he entered the home, he saw Mr.Sharma, Jannat and Atika in hall watching T.V.

"Good evening!" He wished them going a little close to them.

"Good evening, gentleman. How are you?" Asked Mr.Sharma in such a polite manner which melted Siddharth's heart. Mr.Sharma didn't ever felt a single chance to treat Siddharth and Abhishek as their own children. That's why, they also consider Mr.Sharma as their own father only.

"I'm good uncle, how are you?" He asked smiling at him. Mr. Sharma did a thumbs up making Jannat laugh.

"Siddharth, you seem upset. Is everything fine?" Asked Jannat noticing Siddharth's expressions who was sitting on the couch.

"Yeah, just a little tired. I should go and get fresh. See ya all at dinner table." Said Siddharth excusing himself abd going upstairs. He was still on the stairs when he heard Avneet's and Abhishek's voice.

"Bhai, I seriously don't know what to do. He isn't talking to me. Even I called him but." Said Avneet tensing up. Siddharth decided to overhear them.

"Avneet, one day he would get to know that he has lost one kidney. We can't hide it for a long time. Why don't we tell him today only?" Suggested Abhishek finding only a solution and unaware of the fact that Siddharth was there only who stumbled, with wide eyes as it was highly unexpected for him. Avneet opened her mouth but was cut off by Vaishnavi who came from behind.

"Abhi is right Avneet. It's now or never." Said Vaishnavi coming out of her room and pacing till Abhishek, keeping her hand on his shoulder. Abhishek glanced at her and she nodded her head assuring him. He snapped at Avneet who was making herself agree to it. That's when Siddharth showed himself. Everyone looked at him who just came up.

"Good evening." Wished Siddharth with blank expressions and turned to go to his room when his brother called him.

"Ashu!" He looked at Abhishek.

"Can we have a word?" Requested Abhishek in a calm voice. Siddharth thought for a second before nodding his head. He thought that he already has heard their conversations. Let's test them,will they tell truth or not? But how didn't knew the truth will affect him to an extent.

What next?
