A few hours before....

"Jaldi kar na Aki...door khol" Riya yelled from outside. Akash is getting ready for the football match in his dressing room. It's been 15 mins..but he is not opening the door.

"5 min" Aki said, trying his best to convey the message in his normal tone.

"Aki, are u ok?" Riya sensed something wrong in his voice.

"Haan yaar, 5 min wait kar" a tear dropped from akash's eyes.

Riya agreed and moved from there reluctantly.

"Ahh...God...kya Karu Mai?" Aki held his leg on cried. The blood is oozing out continuously. The pain is unbearable. He couldn't even move it. Walking to the drawer and taking out the first aid kid and doing the first aid is a very  tough task for him now.

Few minutes ago, He called Adarsh but the call didn't get connected. Within few minutes, he received a msg like, ' I'm in a meeting Aki.' Aki replied, 'Football match bhaiya' Aki hated the word wait at the moment. He received the reply only after 10 mins. And what he read there infuriated him. 'I cannot come bacha, I'm very sorry' Already he was standing, the anger made him lose all his sense and without knowing what he is gonna do, Akash kicked his bare leg in the near by corner table, which is already in broken state near it's edge and the force aki applied there, gave him a vibration. The ankle hit the edge with much force and the sharp edge cut through his white skin making way for the blood to flow out. He would have yelled in pain, but somehow controlled and sat on the other bench which is beside it and cried out. He is hissing in a low tone. That's when Riya came and rest is history....he didn't tell her bcoz, His friends will not let him play the match. And he don't want that to happen. He hoped, he could manage and win the match today!

"Aki, coach bula rhe hai" This time Krish came.

"Aa rha hu" Krish waited outside.

With an unbearable pain in his leg, Akash stood up and started to limp towards the washroom, after getting fresh up and washing his leg, he came back and weared his shoes, with a small bandage near the injury. He didn't do that properly too. After composing himself, he gritted his teeth and stood properly and walked towards the door and opened it.

"Yar kitna de..." Krish trailed off on seeing the pale face of aki.

"Aki, Kya hua?" Aki shook his head.

"Kuch nhi ..chal" he gritted his teeth more on taking each steps forward to make it look like a normal walk. Krish followed him with a frown face.

The match started. Akash's team is playing well. Though Akash is not playing good. He would have fell down while trying to run as the pain was too much for him to bear. But somehow he balanced, and that exact second, he felt an another pain in his ankle, like he felt that it was breaking. Akash decided to fight with this today. He never gave up. And he won't now also. He took a deep breath...and started to play, completely forgetting about, he got an injured leg. And the last goal he kicked, the second the crowd yelled in happiness, he yelled in pain.

The next scene..

"Akash Oberoi, Have u lost it?" Both Krish and Riya shouted enough to make Akash Flinch back.

"Huh...ek min meri baat..." Akash couldn't help but try to explain.

"Oh just shut up! Itna sab kuch karne ke baad bhi, You are expecting us to listen u? Hum tujhe pagal dikhte hai kya?" Riya asked him, with an angry blazing eyes.

"Yaar, dard ho rha hai mujhe, pls stop it na" Aki whined.

"Aur khelo football abhi, pain nhi hoga Akash" Krish looked at him with raged eyes.

"Ahhh....aram se...pls....ahhhhh" He yelled as, each time the ice pack touch his ankle, he couldn't able to control himself from shouting bcoz the pain is Tooo much for him to bear.

As soon as Riya and Krish found about the Injury, they brought him for first aid. The doctor checked him, he got a sprained ankle, still the boy played..it made his ankle in a worst condition now. They did the treatment and while rubbing the cotton in that blood flowing part, Akash shouted and shrieked out. So Riya did it for him.. while talking to distract him. And the rest is history.

Adarsh walked inside the mansion.He looked tired. From the past three four days, his schedule was hectic. His company is working on a very important project. There were lots of continuous meetings. He made his way to his room and got fresh up then descended downstairs. Akash didn't arrive home yet, He sighed. He made him upset by not going to his football match today. He didn't even got a reply message after his last message. Though he wasn't in the situation to go there today, He know Akash will not understand that. He has only hum, he wished he could have go there. His kid will make him grovel a lot this time, he know that! He is ready too, but he don't want to see the upset face of akash. While he was drown in these thoughts,a car horn sound brought him back to reality. Akash would have arrived! He thought and moved out.

"Aki...Ye....Kya hua bacha?" The second Adarsh saw Akash, he gasped looking at his legs.

While,Akash gulped hard...All this worry and tension will take a back seat soon! He knows that.

Adarsh rushed to his side and helped him to come in along with krish, and then he made him sit on the sofa. Krish had came with him, Akash asked Riya to go as Reyansh is going outstation today. He knows she would miss him, and he don't want make it more bad for her by taking her time for him now. First time, Reyansh is leaving outstation for long time.

"Kya hua bacha? Batao.." Akash felt tongue tied. When he don't reply, Adarsh looked at krish for answers.

"Bhai..wo..Football....." Akash interrupted him.

"I kicked the table in anger. My ankle is sprained bhaiya and i....Played the match with a sprained ankle" He mumbled the last part meekly. Krish sighed.

It took a min for Adarsh to process what Akash said, in his mind. He got an injured leg and played the match with that? Adarsh's eyes went wide in the realisation and his eyes are now blazing with anger.

"Doctor ke paas gya tu?" Akash gulped. The tone is giving shivers to him.

"Bhai hum college me treatment de Diya usko. Doctor ne kaha ek week me thik ho jayega. He should take rest and Ice pack lagane ko kaha unhone. And walking will help in speedy recovery" Adarsh nodded.
And sat beside him. He is very close to lash out on Akash now. But the boy is looking so pale and there are dry tears near his eyes. He don't want to make him cry anymore. He will talk to him after sometime. Now he should only give the comfort which would help his child to relax now.

"I'm sorry bhaiya" once Adarsh pulled him into his embrace, Aki mumbled a sorry.

"Kuch khaya tum logo ne?" Krish nodded his head and looked at his watch, and decided to leave. He told aki to take care and left.

"Aap kuch bol kyu nhi rhe ho?" Akash looked at him with tear filled eyes. This isn't the way his bhaiya would react for these type of stupidities. He knows that.

"Mai kya bolu aki? Tu rest kar, Mai khane ke liye kuch banake aata hu" Akash held his hands when he was about to stand up.

"Mujhe bahut gussa aa rha tha bhaiya...I couldn't control myself....." Adarsh who was looking other side, turned to him with burning eyes, that made Akash stop and flinch.

"And see, what that anger caused u now!"
Adarsh raised his voice. He stood up with taking enraged breaths.

"Dimag kharab ho gya hai tera? Bata mujhe..Who the hell plays football with an injured leg Akash?" Aki gulped and flinched back in the high pitched anger tone of Adarsh.

"Pehle mujhe ye bata, aise kya hua jisse tu itna gussa hogya tha...Tell me" When Aki didn't open his mouth, Adarsh took hold of his ear, making his eyes go wide.

"Bhaiya...oww...lag rhi hai" Adarsh didn't relent at all.

"When I ask a question, i expect an answer from you akash..What made u Angry?" Seeing Aki's eyes having the tears, adarsh left the hold...well known to the fact that it's bcoz he would have bit his lips harder.

"Wo...mai...call..aap..wo.." Adarsh gave him a look and Aki looked down.

"Will u tell me without stammering or i should use my ways?"Aki pouted and looked at him.

"I don't have a whole day, TELL ME AKASH"

"U said u will come to my match today, par aap nhi aaye the... Isiliye mujhe gussa agya tha...and...I..." Adarsh sighed and shook his head in disbelief.

"U was angry because of me?" Aki nodded.

"So whenever u get angry, u will hurt yourself?" Aki looked down.

"And u think, i will let this go easily?"
Aki looked at him with puppy eyes. Adarsh whacked him without remorse. Aki hissed in the sting and rubbed it to ease the pain.

"Hazar baar bol chuka hu tujhse, gussa hai toh control karna Sikh lo...u didn't change Akash, bachpan se bol rha hu mai...I can't believe it, U will do anything in anger uske baad aake Rona shuru kar doge? It became your habit now. Like, tujhe samjh aa rha hai ki kya karke aaye hai tu? I swear, I'm getting mad Akash" Akash gulped hearing the tone, it's in the brink of Adarsh's patience. He could feel that well. One lil push will make him burst out!

"I'm sorry bhaiya...I won't do this again"
Aki's eyes started to drop tears.

"Yeah ofcourse u won't do THIS Akash, the next time u get angry, kuch aur karoge tum..kya pata u would also break your hands and legs in your anger. Hai na?" The  dam broke and cried out loud... Adarsh's tone was harsh that he couldn't control himself from crying out loud.

"Stop Crying Akash, I'm going thin on patience " Aki hiccuped and Adarsh gave him water to drink.

"Maine kaha na abse nhi karunga...Aap gussa mat karo bhaiya.." he talked while sobbing hard.

"This isn't the first time I'm listening this sentence from u akash. U too know that. When ever u get angry, kuch na kuch karke aate ho tum. U remember, yahi hua tha jab tu 10 saal ka tha...when I didn't give u mobile as u was using it for long time...tab kya kiya tha tu...Yaad hai...just like today u kicked my study table..And started to cry like no tomorrow. You should learn from your mistakes aki, but u are not doing that...just tell me what should I have to do that will make u realise your mistakes. I'm really tired aki...Tired of seeing u repeating the same mistakes. Ab tum hi bolo kya Karu Mai?" Akash looked at him sadly, he too remember that past...he sighed sadly... there's no changes in him.

(Flashback...)

When Akash was 10, he had been using Adarsh's mobile. As Adarsh was having Final exam of the year, he was full on preparing on it and didn't had the time to use mobile. Also he wasn't so interested in scrolling through mobile in times of exams. So akash took advantage and was full on mobile. His morning starts with mobile and ends with mobile...he lost the time track when he was in mobile. Even he forgot to eat and that made Adarsh furious. He scolded the boy angrily and took the phone from him grounding him not to touch it for the another 1 week. Adarsh could see the addiction of mobile on aki. When Akash denied to eat and continue with his hunger strike, adarsh though tried to be soft and gentle...the boy just pushed him to his end of patience and got whacked by him. And then the dam broke.

"Stop Crying Aki, U know I don't like skipping meals. Aur tujhe aise kyu lagta hai ki, I'm going to give in for hunger strike. Thappad maarunga Mai aise dubara kiya toh!" Akash is sobbing hard. Adarsh wiped his tears gently and made him have his dinner, while comforting him not to cry.

"Aki utar bacha...kya kar rhe ho?"

Akash jumped on Adarsh and hugged him tightly, throwing his hands around his neck.
Adarsh would have fallen down along with Akash from his study chair. His lil monkey is always interested in giving him mini heart attacks. Though Adarsh held him safely and balanced himself too, his heart skipped a beat on the thought of falling down with aki.

"I'm angry"

"So? Mai kya karu?"

"I'm angry because of you!"
Aki shouted

"I should be the one saying that aki, and Don't raise ur voice" Aki mumbled a quick sorry after hearing the Stern tone.

"Aap kyu gussa ho mujhse..? Aap ne mujhe maara bhaiya...I should be the one getting angry"he said, and started to punch adarsh on his shoulders, sitting on his lap. Adarsh chuckled, the scowl on his face was cute.

"Haso mat aap!"Aki whined throwing his hands hard on Adarsh's shoulders, but regretted almost immediately when Adarsh hissed.

"I'm sorry bhaiya...zor se lag gyi?" Adarsh ruffled his hair and pulled him close.

"Nahi bacha..." Aki looked up at him from his embrace.

"Bhaiya!"

"Haan"

"Idhar dekho na" adarsh looked down at him

"Kya?"

"Mujhe kuch chahiye...aur aap mana nhi karoge... promise?"

"Pehle bata kya chahiye? I am telling you, that should not be Mobile..."

"Kyu bhaiya...I swear i won't use it for long....just 2 hours pls....pls pls pls" Adarsh's eyes went wide.

"Just 2 hours Akash? Subah se tum mobile ke saath baite ho...and u r asking for another 2 hours." Aki made a scowl face.

"Mujhe chahiye matlab chaiye...pls...bhaiya..."
Adarsh gave him a Stern glare

"You are getting addicted to it Akash. And i won't let that happen. No use of your whining or stubborness. Go to bed!" Adarsh ordered him with a firm tone.

"Nhi mujhe chahiyeeeee....I want mobile!!"

"Maar khana hai Akash?"

"Nahi...I want mobile!"

"Aki Mai sachi bahut maarunga, Jaake so Jaa..." Aki again jumped down from his lap starting adarsh.

"Aap bahut bure ho....mujhe phone chahiye kyu nhi de rhe ho...?"

"You should not use it for long time bacha...See u got addicted and forgot to eat ur lunch. Phones are not that much Important Akash. But food is. U neglected eating just to use mobile. That's not right aki, now i don't want any more argument in this. U r grounded and I'll give u mobile only after 1 week. If u continue to whine, u won't get mobile for 1 month. U know me aki, I can do that!" Akash gulped. He understood he shouldn't have skipped meals just for using mobile. But that doesn't mean he will do that often, he argued more, though Adarsh was having patience as he is a kid and he would not understand...he tried every possible way to be gentle but Aki is a king of being stubborn! Expecting him to understand anything like this is just an impossible thing.

"Aki I'm having exam tomorrow, don't make me angry now. I should study and it's getting late, GO TO BED!" Aki shook his head stubbornly.

"Lagau ek tujhe?" Adarsh asked, really getting angry on him for being this much stubborn.

"Aap maaroge mujhe ..apka chota sa bacha ko maaroge?" He asked, making an innocent face. Adarsh rubbed his eyebrows.

"Tujhe lagta hai Mai nhi maarunga?"

"Bhaiyaa pls...acha tk just for 1 hour de do na..........ouch!" He yelped in pain as he got a whack from Adarsh...it was not soooo gentle!

"Bhaiya...lag rhi hai mujhe" he cried out..his brother never believed in holding back!

"Chup! Ek lafz nhi aki. Bahut hogya. Go to your bed I said. Go NOW!".

"NAHI JAUNGA MAIN!!!" Akash yelled while crying and made an angry scowl, and kicked his legs.

"Aki...lag jayegi stop it" he said holding him.

"Chodo aap...Bad bhaiya...!" Aki yelled but the next second he screamed out loud as he kicked his leg hard on the study table...

"Akash!" Adarsh gasped and knelt down infront of him.

"Bhaiya....ahhh....dard...ho rha hai"he cried hard...

"Shhh...thik ho jayega bacha..." Adarsh took him in his embrace and rubbed his back.

"Shh...aki...Rona nahi bacha...ruk Mai aata hu" But aki held his hand tightly.

"Aap mat jao..." He is sobbing hard and unstoppable tears are flowing down from his eyes.

"Just 2 mins bacha mai ice pack leke aata hu"

"It's hurting bhaiya...Bahut dard ho rha hai"
Adarsh has tears in his eyes. Aki's tears are the one thing he cannot handle. He gulped.

"Thik ho jayega aki, pls Rona band kar..pls" he rushed to get Ice pack.

"Aap gussa ho?" Aki asked Adarsh.

After throwing a truck load of tantrums, Aki let Adarsh keep the ice pack on his leg. It's been 30 mins after that. Adarsh sat on his bed and Akash laid his head on his chest hugging him.

Though Adarsh is speaking softly with him, the looks Adarsh had sent him in the past few minutes were enough for him to understand that his brother is angry with him.

"Nhi hona chahiye?"

"Par kyu gussa ho?" The boy proved that he is an idiot! Adarsh glared at him.

"You are asking me? Dimag kharab ho gya hai tera?" Akash flinched as Adarsh raised his voice.

Heaving a sigh, Adarsh gently carressed his head, "Gussa har insaan ko aata hai Aki,but what matters is how u r handling it! Getting mad in anger and doing crazy things are very stupid habit of urs aki. Mana ki u will get angry very easily, but that doesn't mean u will do anything in anger...See what u have done in anger. Kisko dard ho rha hai ab? Tujhe hi hai na. Kyu bacha? Can't u control ur anger aki?" Aki looked at him with sad eyes.

"Sorry bhaiya...abse nhi karunga...sachi"

"Still Akash, I am not letting u off the hook. Forgot mobile for another 1 week. Just for mobile u did all this right...U r not getting that for 2 weeks and don't expect any leniency from me!" Akash nodded his head in acceptance. The nod took Adarsh with a surprise and shock at the same time. He was all prepared for another round of whining.

"Ok bhaiya. I won't do anything that makes u sad."

"You should not do that, because I don't want to see u in any pain bacha. Control your anger aki, Do not repeat this"

Aki smiled at him, nodding his head and hugged him more tightly and Adarsh carressed his head, placing a Kiss on his forehead!

(End of Flashback....!)

Akash is sitting on his bed, with a sad look on his face. Adarsh entered inside his room with a glass of orange juice. He made his way to the bed.

After that talk, adarsh helped aki to get to his bed and then he made him sleep for some time. Though aki was reluctant as he wants to talk to his brother, he slept as the pain was still hurting him a lot...so he slept unknowingly. Just now he woke up and as in cue adarsh entered.

Adarsh forwarded the glass, aki looked at him.

"Aap gussa ho bhaiya?"No reply

"Baat nhi karoge aap?" No reply

"I won't do it again bhaiya...pls baat karo na" tears started to flow and Adarsh sighed.

"Drink akash"

"Nhi peena mujhe... I'm sorry bhaiya...!"
He threw himself on Adarsh's embrace as he was standing beside him..too near.

"Aki..." He would have dropped the glass with the sudden hug. The boy just don't care about anything. He kept the glass aside.

"Chod mujhe.."

"Nahii...baat karoo plss" Adarsh pulled him back forcefully.

"Kya baat Karu Mai? Nhi bol tu...Mai kya baat Karu! Tu sunta hai meri koi baat? Fir Mai kyu baat karu tujhse?" Akash cried.

"Aise mat bolo bhaiya...Mai aapki har baat sunta hu...Plssssss baat karooo!" Adarsh rubbed his back, with soothing circles.

"Acha bas...bas ro mat..." He wiped his tears.

"Baat karoge na?" Adarsh glared at him.

"Bolo...bhaiyaaa!" He whined with a scowl

"Kar rha hu na aki" Adarsh sat beside him.

"Yeh nhi...pyar se baat karo aap"

"Pyar ki basha samjh aati hai tujhe?" Aki looked at his window with more interest suddenly.

"Udhar kya dekh raha hai...Idhar dekh mujhe!" Aki meekly looked at him

"You repeat this one more time and I swear, I will ground u for life without any privileges. I'm very serious aki, do not test me. Is that understood?"

"Haan bhaiya"

"How's your leg now? Dard ho rha hai ya better?"

"Bahut dard ho rha hai!"

"Ek table lau...Kick it more...you will feel better beta" The sarcasm annoyed akash.

"Mat karo na bhaiya.."

"Acha ji...chal drink this..." He handed him the glass.

"Aap pilau na " Adarsh did.

Once finished, Adarsh sat beside him on a bed and aki laid his head on his chest and he carressed his head.

"I'm sorry bacha, i couldn't come for your match today. Foreign clients tha bacha, I cannot ask them to wait...Unhe Aaj hi return jaana tha...sorry aki" Adarsh was feeling bad for not going to his match.

"That's ok bhaiya, I can understand. Aap humesha toh aise nhi karte ho na...but haan next time zarur aana hai apko!" He ordered nd adarsh agreed with a chuckle.

Spoiler for upcoming chapters:-

"Bh...bhaiya...aap?" Akash started to shiver as Adarsh took step towards him.

"Bhaiya...I...I...can..explain...aap..." He was cut off by a Harsh Slap!

"How dare you?" Adarsh is infuriated to no end. He didn't expect this from HIS AKASH!
