I opened the main door after hearing door bell.

"Naina" he called my name just the sight of him stunned me a little. I wanted him to come inside and I wanted to ask where he was all this while but I stayed silent and he stayed where he was, I stepped back and he entered inside the house. He climbed the stairs and I watched him silently.

"Naina I want to talk to you please" he said and I follow him upstairs. He closed the door and twisted the door knob when we came inside. He sat on the bed and I just stood there like an idiot.

"You were right" He looked at me as if he was waiting for me to say something.

"About what" I asked, completely uninterested. I didn't have time for his anger and I can't handle his tantrums anymore.

"About everything but still I can't do it, I can't do what you want" It didn't took me a moment to understand that he was talking about his sister because I wanted him to talk to her.

"But why" I questioned. He struggled for a few moments and then he continued.

"Because I can't see her in pain Naina I can't take it, I don't know the reason behind her condition but trust me I don't want to know because I can't take it, I can't do it" He paused, looked down and then back at my face. His gaze was piercing. I felt something pricked my heart, I felt some kind of connection with his pain. As if I can feel it in my heart. I couldn't remember the last time I had actually felt something like this.

"I was five years old when dad placed her in my arms. She was little, tiny and I still remember what he told me that time. He said Sameer she is your baby sister, it's your duty you will have to protect her. She is your responsibility. I still remember but I failed miserably. I couldn't protect her. It's my fault Naina. It's my fault" He confessed, I wanted to comfort him the moment he confessed but words died on my lips. I looked down towards his hands, they were trembling. I know how hard it was for him. His sister was the weakest point he had, the only person he loves more than anything, more than his own life.

"Sameer not all the time you can protect her and it's not your fault. Don't blame yourself" It was all I could manage to say at that time.

"No it is, it is my fault" His eyes turned soft, his voice was nothing more than a painful whisper.

"It isn't" he stared at my face for a while, my thoughts racing a mile per minute, part of me wanted to leave him alone because I didn't know what more to say but another one wanted to comfort him so I stayed rooted on my spot.

"Naina

"Hmm

"Can I hold you...I just want someone to hold me he asked in a tone that lacked confidence. I looked at him; his eyes were filled with so much hope and pain as well. I comforted him through my gaze. Before I change my mind I held his hand and he encircled his arms around my body, one around my waist and another around my nape. He rubbed his hands against my body and let out a deep breath. I pulled him close and he tightened his grip on me. He moved his hand up and down, leaving a trail of goose bumps on my skin. My heart started beating wildly against his chest when he squeezed my body against his.Through his heart beat I can feel the storm which was brewing inside him. I rubbed his back and he pulled me close. I buried my face in his chest. He rested his chin on my shoulder.

When we broke the hug, he held my palms for support.

"You will be fine and you can do this...I..I..I'm there for you" I said he frowned at me for a moment before smoothing out his expression. He grabbed my hair strand and gently pushed it behind my ear.

"Thank you" he replied and I blinked my eyes in assurance.

"Let's go" He didn't leave my hand not even for a second.

"Do you want me to come?" I asked

"Yes" His voice tore through the numbness that enveloped me

"Sameer are you sure you want me to come?" I asked when we reached outside of her room. My voice came out as a croak.

"Yes" he replied. He twisted the door knob and pushed it aside. Deepika was lying on her bed; I looked at pale girl lying on the bed, exhaustion clearly written on her face. She straightened herself when she saw both of us coming towards her.

"Bhai"

"Bhai I...I...I'm sorry" He quickly reached over to her and wrapped her around his protective arms.

"Shh it's okay, how are you feeling now" Fresh tears came out of her eyes and he wiped it softly.

"Good" She mumbled.

"Kiddo you know that you are not only my sister you're my baby if something is going wrong you can share it with me" He explained her as calmly as he could.

"Bhai I'm really sorry I let you down in front of everyone, please don't be mad at me" His eyes softened a little when he looked into her teary eyes. At that moment he might have felt utterly powerless and helpless. I have never seen him falling apart like this.

"No I'm mad at you because you kept it away from me. You kept things away from me "He said while cupping her cheeks through his palms.

"I'm sorry but trust me I never wanted to hurt you" His eyes became even softer than before. He planned a kiss on her head.

"Then tell me what's wrong with you" He asked her softly like he was talking to a child.

"Bhai... there is nothing" she tore her eyes away from him and stared down at her knotted fingers.

"No I know there is something, tell me I want to know" he held her chin and made her look in his eyes.

"If you won't tell me I will think that I failed myself as a brother" He choked at the last part. Deepika just stared at him, disbelief written on her face.

"No bhai trust me you are the best brother in this whole world and no one can take your place in my life please don't say it" She reside in his warmth and I could see faint tears in his eyes.

"Then tell me everything" He asked.

"Bhai I don't know how to"

"Do it I want to know"

"First promise me you will do what I want you to do" She took his hand in hers.

"No I can't" He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down when he saw her panic face.

"Please" she requested and he nodded.

"Okay" He said, halfheartedly.

"Bhai I was in love with someone, one of my college friend Rahul but he.. he cheated on me and last night I was feeling really down so I went there and you know what I did then police came I was really really scared so I called Anand uncle and he came" She completed, the reality of the situation kicked in with full force and it was surprising. I know how hard it was for him to bear his sister's pain but he maintained straight face throughout the conversation.

"That bas***d I will kill him" He said through his greeted teeth.

"No bhai promise me you will not do anything, you promised"

"But" He pulled his hand away from her grip but she didn't allow him.

"No please bhai please I don't want to do anything against him let him go"

"Hmm"

"Bhai tell me one thing"

"What"

"Are we not worthy of love?" She questioned. His face turned pale.

"I was 10 when dad left we never had mother, its better not to have the one if you have one like her" She continued. I could see faint tears running down through the corner of his eyes.

"She was never around us" She added further.

No it can't be true.

I never understood the equation they share with their mother maybe because I hardly know things about their past but she wasn't bad by heart, there was some misunderstanding.

"We grew up in boarding school because we never had family just you and me and now Rahul too. Kyu bhai har bar hum dono hi kyu hmare sath hi aisa kyu hota hain why can't we have love, are we not worthy of love bhai? Itne bure hain hum dono?" A sense of doom engulfed me when she showed her pain. The pang in my heart was hard to ignore but I shrugged it away forcefully.

The word Love reminded of someone I didn't want to think about at least not at this moment but I can understand the pain she was going through, who would understand better than me. I know how it feels.

"No kiddo you deserve love don't say it again. You are the only thing I have you are the most precious thing of my life and I love you I love you a lot more than words can describe. You are not only my sister you are my kid my baby and I can't tell you how much I love you never do this to me" I have never seen him vulnerable and afraid of something. I have never seen him crying. I wish if I could say something, I wish if I could comfort him but I didn't say anything because I didn't want to interrupt them. Maybe his mother was right about him, he has another side, he is not what he shows, beneath the layers of his heart he is different, and he is alone.

In that moment I understood one thing about him, he doesn't like showing his pain.

"Sometimes in life we make wrong choices Deepika and Rahul was a wrong choice you deserve someone better than him, don't doubt yourself" I said, she smiled at me and I slowly smiled back at her, laying my hand on the top of hers. Tears sting my eyes and I ignore the ache in my heart. She was my best friend and it pained me to see her in pain.

"She is right, let him go away and you have me and I will give you whatever you want"

"No I don't want anything just don't be mad at me please forgive me" There was so much pain in her voice. I wished I could somehow lessen her pain.

"I can never be mad at you baby and promise me you will never keep things away from me"

"I promise bhai I will never do it again, I promise" I could only stare at them silently. Honestly I didn't know what to say, I never wanted to come here between both of them but Sameer dragged me for no reason but deep down I was glad that he did because I got a chance to see his another side.

"Bhai you are not mad at me na" She looked at him hopefully with her big innocent eyes. He kissed her head and hugged her tight. She buried her face in the crook of his neck and sighed deeply. He kissed her hairs caressing her back while she sobbed into his chest. I let them be. I slowly walked out of the room and I closed the door without making noise.

When I came out I can feel the impact of his words sinking into my chest.

Maybe he isn't that bad as I thought he is.

"Now you will teach me things about family huh you don't know anything about family so stop teaching me and yes just because you and your mother don't along doesn't mean you will think that all the relationships in this entire world revolves around give and take

My own words rang in my ears, guilt washed over me. It was because of me he was in pain because I unknowingly scratched the most painful part of his life. I felt like apologizing for my words.
