4.|Convincing Them|
Ruhana leaves Vineet's house in anger. She is hurt that Vineet hid such a big truth from her. All the while, he kept telling her that Viren is in London, while he's at home only. And, he's no less than a kid. It seems like Vineet doesn't trust her with his problems and that is why he didn't tell her anything about Viren.
Maybe, she won't be able to help him, but she won't have let him suffer alone. Tears stream down Ruhana's eyes as she hires a taxi and heads to her home.
*****
Vineet sighs deeply. His lady love is hurt. Though he's right at his place, he should not hide it from her. Obviously, she trusts him more than she trusts herself. She believes him, but he's telling lies to her. He sighs, he should have told her the truth. Not because they are in a relationship, but they love each other. There's no hiding between them, but he hid about his brother from her. When one's happiness brings a smile on the other's face, then why should one bear the pain alone?
Vineet's trance is broken on a Viren's voice. He moves into the living room where Viren is sitting and seems angry. Savita Kaki looks at Vineet.
"Beta! Ab tum hi samjhao! Meri toh sunta nahi hai ye!" she says looking at both the brothers.
"Kaki! Aap chai bana dijiye na. Tab tak main isey khana khilata hoon." Vineet says softly.
The old lady nods affirmatively and moves into the kitchen. Vineet looks at his brother who is engaged in watching the television. He sits beside him and asks him to have food - - it is his favorite - Fried Rice.
" Mujhe nahi khana! Main aapse gussa hoon!" Viren turns to the other side.
"Arey! Gussa toh mujhe hona chahiye tumse!" Vineet glares at him.
"Kyun? Aapne toh meri help bhi nahi ki!" Viren makes a face.
He's angry at his brother because he didn't scold Rocky, the guy he had a fight with. He's a neighbour. And now that Viren's mental health is bad, the other guy keeps on provoking him. Vineet hates it, but he doesn't want to create any issue. He cups Viren's face.
"rocky ko main samjha dunga. Par tum pehle khana kha lo! Please." Vineet says.
"promise!!" Viren looks at his brother cutely and the latter nods his head affirmatively.
Viren smiles and feeds him a spoonful of rice. The boy gets happy and takes hold of the bowl and begins to eat. Vineet watches him for a few seconds, and then begins to speak. He wants him to know that he has hurt someone in his anger.
"Viren! Aaj tumne meri dost ko mara! Aise koi karta hain?" he asks softly, he knows he can't shout on him.
"Vo bhi vo rocky k jaise hame pareshan karti." Viren says remembering the lady who came with his brother,but takes her wrong.
"Wo meri dost hain. Hamari dost hain. Tumne unhe hurt kiya. Ye toh galat hai na??" Vineet questions looking at Viren.
"Sach mein! Vo achi hain na! Paas vaali aunty ke jaise baat toh nahi karegi na?" Viren asks, referring to a lady in the neighbourhood, who keeps taunting them.
"Bilkul nahi. Vo toh tumse milne aayi thi, abhi wo gussa hokar chali gayi." Vineet says sadly.
Vineet knows Ruhana is angry with him, but it is important to make Viren realise. He can talk to his lady love later. Viren looks at his brother for a few seconds.
"Main unhe mana lunga. Aur sorry bhi bol Dunga." Viren says downing his head.
"Par unhe bhi mere sath game khelna padega." he instantly looks at his brother.
Vineet smiles, that's something Viren wants every time. He has forgotten everything, but what he's not forgotten is video games. He wants everyone to play with him. Vineet smiles and ruffles his hair, while Viren smiles goofily.
The boy is back in his form. Vineet asks savita kaki to look after him. The lady agrees and after telling Viren that he will be back in sometime, Vineet leaves the house. He has to talk to Ruhana - - tell the truth to her.
*****
Ruhana is at home, she is hurt. Her eyes are teary. She can't believe that Vineet lied to her. She has just shown her trust in him, but it seems like he doesn't trust her. He didn't tell her about Viren. Okay! He may not be ready at that time, but, he could tell her later. She already had the feeling that he is hiding something from her. Her reverie broke with the doorbell. She cleans her face and moves to open the door.
It's Vineet. Ruhana let him in and sits on the couch. He sits beside her, murmuring an apology.
"Sorry! For what?? For lieing to me?" she snaps at him.
"Ruhana! I had no other option. Mujhe darr tha ki kahin ye sab jaan ke tum mujhe chod na do!" he says, wording his fear.
"Wow! Tumne toh mujhe jaana hi nahi. You didn't trust me. Agar trust karte toh sab kuch batate. Bahut baar pucha maine, par tumne kaha vo London mein hain! Kyun Vineet? Aisa kya tha jo tumhe jhooth bolna pada! Mujhpar aur mere pyar par bharosa nai hai tumhe?? " she questions him out of anger.
"Ruhana please! I know I was wrong. But I was afraid. Ab aur kuch khona nahin chahta. Ab toh tum sab jaanti ho!" he says.
"sab kuch nahi! Tumne kuch nahi bataya mujhe! Tumne ye kaise socha ki main tumhe chod dungi?? Mera Pyaar itna kamzor nahi hai, Vineet. Agar tum batate toh hum milkar solution dhundhte. Par tumne nahi bataya." she says looking at him.
"Shayad madad na kar paati par tumhe akele bhi nahi rehne deti." she says, her eyes are glistening with tears.
Vineet looks at her. She is surely hurt, and he's the reason for her tears. He can't bear the tears in her eyes. He makes her sit on the couch.
" Galti ho gayi mujhse. Par main tumhe kho nahi sakta. Tum mere liye utni hi important ho jitna Viren. Tum dono ke bina main nahi reh sakta." Vineet says, his eyes are teary too.
Ruhana looks at him and he continues to speak. He says something that leaves Ruhana shocked.
To Be Continued.
What did Vineet say!
Did he tell the truth to Ruhana?
Stay tuned.
