Vikrant was back from his trip. .. he was so excited to tell me about his whole experience. ... but I had some other plans. ..
I told him that his brother was back... n he should be with his brother now...
His face fell at the name of leaving. .. not that he didn't want to meet maan but I guess he really got attached to us... Even Dad didn't want to send him but I convinced him saying Maan was back n was all alone he would be missing his family right?
After all the convincing n many promises he left with scooby. .. I was waiting for my call I knew Vikrant he would ring me right as he reaches his house. ...
As expected there was a ring. ... I asked him to put the phone on speaker n then he continued to explain his trip n how much fun he had... he was having his dinner while talking to me n I was giving my inputs here n there...
VIKEY!!
Bro!! Oh god bro u can speak now u called me oh wow... I have so much to tell you. ..
Vikrant finish ur food first!
Ya Geet coming. .. u know sometimes u spoil all the fun...
I know by now maan would be all confused. .. as from where my voice was coming I thought chuckling. .
Bro come lets have food or else geet is gonna eat our heads...
Vikrant??
Opps sorry. ...
So u were telling me something. ...
U know what happened then ..
He went on speaking. .. n I listening n cracking jokes in between. ..I know maan was on the table listening to our conversation... Even he was filling up with his presence with occasional "Hmmm"
It was getting late so I asked him to sleep. .as he had school next morning. ...
Good Night Geet!
Good Night Bro!
Good Night!
We both said simultaneously. ... If I'm not wrong maan will not cut the call... I was right as I heard that door shut behind. .. n his foot steps walking out... I knew he wanted to feel my presence so I acted all ignorant... n continued with my works for the night humming some random tune...
I didn't remove my bangles or payal after some time I heard his calm n steady breath.. ss he slipped into deep slumber...
Good Night Maan! I whispered softly. .. I can feel him smile in his sleep. .. I reluctantly cut the call...
Wonder what went wrong... I remember talking to his doctor the other day. .. according to him the treatment went smoothly n he was able to speak. .. though he will shutter a little bit but in dew time even that will be alright. ..
But what shocked me was he left from the doc in 5 months of the treatment but he reached back after 7 there was something missing. .. according to the doc such patients tend to have insecurities n self confidence issues but I know it was Maan Singh Khurana we are talking about ...
Lost in my thoughts I didn't know when sleep took over me...
Next day...
Vikrant. .. I want you to have ur breakfast first n don't even try to make stories or ill take scooby with us...
My voice echoed in the whole house. .. I guess even Maan was up by now. ..
Bro please ask geet to let me go please. ..
Not happening Vikrant have ur breakfast n u forgot ur science books today. ..
Oh thank you so much Geet u r too good!
That I'm ...
Now you talk to bro while I bring my books...
Hmm...
To be continued. ...
