"Why have you been lying all the time...??? Why...??"
Abeer looked up from his mobile screen, to see the face which brightens up his day, whose single smile gives him immense solace and enthusiasm.
"Ishaan..." abeer whispered.
Tear stricken face - it was breaking abeer's already broken heart. He never wanted to see even a single tear in his son's eyes or be the reason behind it. His Ishaan.
"Why are not doing anything...??"
Ishaan sat in front of abeer and took the mobile from abeer's hands. Ishaan looked at the screen and smiled. It was one of their selfies they clicked. Few days back, they couldn't even stand each other and now couldn't bear staying away.
"You want to eat something... Pizza...?? Burger..??" Abeer asked keeping a check on his emotions.
"You said you love me... But you have been lying... Why..??"
"Ishaan I love you beta... Sachhiii... Bhagwan kasam..." replied abeer.
"Then don't give up... I want to live with you... Do something dad..." Ishaan told abeer with teary eyes.
"What did you say...?? What did you call me...??" Abeer asked unable to believe his own ears.
"Dad... Dad... You are my dad..."
Abeer opened his arms and ishaan hugged him. Never did abeer knew what would it feel like to hug a piece of his own blood and flesh. The warmth he felt was unexplainable and his heart... Well it bloomed with happiness and jumped with joy.
"Ishaan... I love you son... I really do..." Abeer said and pulling ishaan out of the hug, kissed all over his face.
"Don't let mom marry akshat uncle..." Ishaan requested abeer holding his hands.
"You know what ishaan... You guys will be more happy with akshat... Meher will be happy and you already like him..." Abeer said, his words piercing his own heart.
"Are you leaving us again...??" Ishaan asked disappointedly.
Abeer was speechless for the first time ever in his life. But he had to answer the question his own blood asked him. Ishaan deserved this. He deserved to know.
"I'm not leaving you guys... I'm letting you go... And ishaan letting go doesn't mean that I don't care about you and meher anymore... It means that I love you both way too much to stop you from having a life you deserve... You deserve to be happy... You are a part of me but not my destiny..." Abeer said while his voice cracked at the end.
"We will be a broken family dad..." Ishaan sobbed this time.
"Ishaan look at me buddy... Look at me and listen carefully... There is nothing called as a "broken family." Family is a family, and is not determined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, and adoption documents. Families are made in the heart and tied by bond of love and affection. The minute you cut those ties, there is no family. But If you make those ties, those people are your family. And if you hate those ties, those people will still be your family because whatever you hate will always be with you..."
"Don't you love mom now...??"
"She is my one and only... I will always love her baby... Always..." Abeer replied with a tear rolling down his red swollen eyes.
"Then get us back... Please... Warna I will do something..."
"Kya...??"
"Abeer Malhotra nahi toh Ishaan Malhotra hi sahi... Do something dad... And if you can't, tell me. I'm way more smarter than you..." Ishaan smirked.
Abeer grinned and pulled ishaan in his arms again.
"Ishaan Malhotra toh tope hai... Abeer Malhotra ki only hope hai... Ab mera beta meri side hai... Dulhaniya toh humari hi hogi..."
"Aapki hi thi... Par mand budhi..."
"Kya bola...?? Baap ko mand budhi bolega...???"
Ishaan giggled.
"Chal beta bol le... Hakk banta hai tera..." Abeer kissed ishaan's cheek.
"I love you..."
"Love you more..."
"Har cheez mein competition...??? Grow up dad..."
"I will buddy... Tu hai na..."
"Woh toh hai... I'm the best..." Ishaan said proudly.
