Sachin rushed to Vineet 's room and found him lying on ground. He immediately ran to him and kept his head on his lap. He sprinkled some water on his face. Vineet grimaced with pain. Sachin helped him get up and made him sit on bed.

"Tum theek toh ho na Vineet ...?? Kya hua....kaise gir gaye tum??" Sachin enquired.

"Wo almirah se towel nikalna tha. Usi waqt sir chakrane laga aur main gir gaya." He said holding his head.

Sachin sighed angrily...

"Mujhe bula lete agar kuch chahiye tha toh...abhi puri tarah se theek nahi hue ho tum. Phir bhi apni mann-maani. Abhi agar kuch aur ho jaata toh? Kya karta main? Tum apna khayal kyun nahi rakhte ho? " he shouted on his buddy.

Vineet smiled at his anger.." Tum chinta mat karo Sachin. I'm fine. " he said.

"Wo toh dikh rha hai tum kitne thik ho! " Sachin glared at his friend angrily.

"Tum ho na Sachin, fir mujhe kaise kuch ho sakta hai? " he raised his eyebrows at him.

Sachin shaked his head... "Baatein mat banao Vineet. Chup chap aaram karo. Yahan se hilne ki koshish ki toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga. " he warned him.

Vineet glanced at him and nodded his head cutely at which Sachin smiled lightly.

Meanwhile, Sachin's phone rang and he moved out of the room to attend it while Vineet picked up a book and started reading it.

Outside, Sachin had a small conversation with his manager and asked him to handle the office as he wanted to be with Vineet and take care of him. He disconnected the call and checked the time. It was almost 7:30 pm and he moved to kitchen to prepare soup for Vineet.

A while later, he moved into Vineet's room and found him engrossed in his book. He set the tray on the side table.

"Lo vineet, tumhara soup ready hai. Have it. Fir tumhe dawai bhi leni hai. " he said.

Vineet put the book on side and looked at Sachin, who forwarded the tray to him

"Fir se soup? "he made a face seeing it.

"Haan aaj yahi milega. " Sachin said.

"Not fair Sachin. " Vineet made a face.

"Nautanki mat karo Vineet. Ye soup khatam karo jaldi. "he ordered.

" Nahi peena. "Vineet said and tried removing the bowl, but Sachin's grip was firm.

"Vineet please. Zidd mat karo. Soup pi lo. Tumhare liye yahi sahi hai. " he said trying to convince his buddy.

Vineet again made a face... "bola na nhi peena. "he said adamantly.

"thik hai. Fir wapas hospital chalte hai. Tum meri Baat maanoge nahi. Wahan doctors drip lagayenge aur injections denge. " sachin said while reading his changing expressions.

Vineet watched him keenly..

"Noo! Main nahi jaunga hospital. " he shouted.

"Tum zidd kar rahe ho toh hospital hi le jaunga tumhe. Chalo. " Sachin said while getting up,but Vineet held his hand..

"Tum jo bologe, wo karunga. Par mujhe hospital nahi Jaana. Arey jail hai wo. Khichdi khila ke aur bimaar kar denge. "Vineet said making a face.

Sachin let out a chuckle... "ek shart pe. Aaj soup pi lo. Kal pakka tumhara favourite khana khayenge. " Sachin said convincing him.

Vineet looked at him and then nodded his head affirmatively making Sachin smile. He forwarded the soup bowl and Vineet almost grabbed it like a kid.

At this moment, Vineet was no less than a kid. And Sachin was taking care of him like a father does. It didn't seem that these two were bosses of a renowned business company. Sachin was looking at his friend, who was busy finishing the soup. He smiled when he handed him the empty bowl and fell asleep soonish.

Sachin made him lie properly on the bed and covered him with the blanket.

"Sorry dost. Tumhe aaram dene ke liye yeh dawaiyan tumhare soup Mein milane pade. " he spoke and went up to finish off his chores.

A while later, Sachin entered the room and found Vineet sleeping. He laid on the other side of the bed. Vineet turned to his side and held his hand in sleep. Sachin smiled and soonish fell asleep. Later in the midnight, Sachin woke up to some sounds and was left thoughtful.
