It was Sunday morning, into a room, a boy about 15 years old was lying on bed, sleeping with his face hidden between pillows, A lady in her early 40s walks into the room, she sits beside him and moves her fingers through his hairs.

The lady smiled and said "beta, uth jao subah ho gayi"

The boy gets up, rubbing his eyes as the sun was shining direct on his face, the lady went and closed the curtain, the boy smiled.

The lady looked at the boy smile which reminded her of the person whom she loved the most.

The boy wished her "good morning mom"

The lady smiled and said "Good morning beta"

Boy said "aaj Sunday hai to aaj main"

He was cut by his mother "haan pata hai, ready ho jao phir chale jaana"

Boy happily jumped off the bed and hugged his mother tightly.

"thank you mom, you are the best love you"

His mother smiled and said "love you too"

Boy then went inside the bathroom and mother went to kitchen to prepare breakfast. In 15 minutes the boy came down and asked "mom, aaj kya banaya hai"

She said "sandwich..."

The boy sits at the dining and she serves him, the boy eats only half and gets up.

She said "Are pura khatam karke jao"

The boy said "nahi mom late ho jaunga main, aur aapko pata hai late hona mujhe bilkul pasand nhi hai"

He left taking his back, his mother smiled "bye... sambhal ke"

Boy turns and sighed and said "pata hai.. dhyan rakhna, phone karna"

Mother smiles and boy moved out of the house, he was waiting for someone, outside after sometime the car arrives and the boy gets inside the car.

He seemed to be angry with the person driving, a girl aged 13 years old, was sitting behind. She smiled and said "hey, bhai"

Boy answered her angrily "hello Avni"

Avni was confused and asked the person driving the car "papa bhaiya itna gussa kyun hai?"

Avni's Dad said "kyunki aapke bhaiya ko hum der se lene aaye na"

Boy said in extreme anger "aaj nahi aap haar baar der se aate hai mere 10 minute kharab ho jaate hai aapke wajahse, kabhi toh time par aaya kariye"

Avni said sadly "bhaiya jaane do na aaj hum enjoy karenge please"

Boy looked at her and said "Avni main aapse naraz nhi hoon, aapke papa se hoon"

Avni's father just smiled and after 20 minutes of drive, they reach theme park.

The man spoke up "tum chalo main park karke aata hoon"

Avni said excitedly "Okay papa, chalo bhaiya" and they get down, standing into the line for tickets.

Their turn was about to come, Avni asked "papa kaha rah gaye??"

Boy said "Aa jayenge"

And Avni's dad comes. .

Her father said with a smile "mujhe yaad kiya aa gaya main, chalo chalo.. jaldi ticket lo" they take the ticket and enter in.

Avni smiled and looked "wo wala ride pehle lenge"

The denied and said "nhi wo" they argued when Avni's father said "hum sab lenge chalo"

And they enjoy, till 5 o'clock. They came out of the wonderland. They settle into the car and dozes off to new destination.

Avni said "kitna maza aaya bhaiya"

He was lost in thoughts, Avni's dad looked at him and asked "kya hua Manav?"

He just gave a smile and said " kuch nahi"

Avni understood and said "papa bhaiya ko bade papa ki.. Yaad.."

Manav got angry and scolds her "Avni unka naam bhi mere samne mat lena samjhi"

Avni said sadly "bhaiya main to"

Manav looked at Avni's father and said "chachu mujhe ghar jaana hai"

He said "par Manav"

Manvi requested him "chachu please" and he turns the car towards Manav's home.

Manav gets down from the car angrily and gets into the house without waving bye to them.

Avni's father looked at Avni and said "Avni aap yahi baithi rehna main abhi aaya"

Avni nodded "okay papa"

He then follows Manav, Manav's mother opens the door. She was surprised to find Manav home "Manav itni jaldi aa gaye tum?" she asked him.

Manav moved inside without answering her, he throws his bag on the floor. His mother was confused and said "Manav Manav.." but he moved into his room.

Avni's father called "Manvi.."

Manvi turns and asked bewildered "Vineet ye Manav ko kya hua? Aise?"

Vineet sighed and said "kuch nhi wo Avni ne Aarav" he paused

Manvi looked at him hearing Aarav's name and said "oh.. samjhi aao andar"

Vineet denies and said "nahi tum Manav ko dekho main chalta hoon"  

Manvi nodded "thik hai"

Vinee said "kal lab mein milte hai"

Manvi shook her head positively "haan bye"

Vineet leaves, he comes back and sits on the driver side. He looked at Avni who was sitting with sad face and asked "kya hua meri Avi ko?"

Avni asked "papa bhaiya kyun itna gussa ho jate hai jab bhi bade papa" she had tears in her eyes.

Vineet has no answer for this, he said "kuch nhi bas wo thoda sa naraz hai aapne papa se chalo aapko ghar chodke mujhe bhi ghar jaana hai"

Avni smiled a bit "okay papa"

Vineet pov "tab tak tumse sach chupaunga yaha cehre par muskurahat hai par uske peeche itna bada dard hai kyun hua ye sab? Itni zindagiyan barbad ho gayi hai"

"Manvi, bhale Manav ke samne kuch dikhati nhi par andar hi andar wo roti hai mere saath jo kiya so kiya par uss masoom bache ko kyun saza di? Tumhare naam se bhi nafrat karta hai wo"

His eyes were getting moist but he did not let his tears flown.

Anvi said "papa chalo.."

Vineet composed himself and left.

Vineet dropped Avni at home, Anvi got down and asked "Papa aap andar nhi aaoge?"

Vineet passed a smiled to her "nahi aap jao"

Avni nodded and said "okay papa lekin kal to aap aaoge na? Mere birthday par?"

Vineet nodded "haan aaunga"

Avni waves bye to him and he doses of to his home. Avni entered into the house, a lady in her early 40s was working into the kitchen. Avni sneaks into the kitchen and scares the lady. "Booo"

The lady turned, Avni laughed "haha.. Darr gayi aap mummy"

Her mother sighed "Avni ruk.." Avni ran out and she ran behind her. After sometime, her mother got tired, she sat on sofa. Avni came and sat beside her. Avni kept her head on her lap and her mother waved her fingers into her hairs.

Her mother asked her "Avni aaj tum itni jaldi wapas kaise aa gayi?"

Avni looked at her and said "maa wo bhaiya ka mood kharab ho gaya, isliye aur maine bade papa" she paused.

Her mother understood and said "hmm samajhi"

Her pov "tumhare pass phir bhi tumhare papa hai par Manav ke pass nhi"

Avni asked her "maa papa aap ko kabhi maaf nahi karenge? Wo to apni Ruhana se bahut pyar karte hai na?"

Ruhana smiled a bit and said "beta aapke papa mujhse bahut pyar karte hai bas wo bhi mujhse naraz hai"

Avni sat up straight and said "jaise Manav bhaiya bade papa se hai"

Ruhana nodded in yes, Avni questioned her further "maa par bade papa to Manav bhaiya se milte bhi nhi kyun? Bade papa kaha chale gaye?"
