Jigar is sitting alone in the back garden, he's very worried because things between him and Rashi are not getting better in fact they are getting more worse than before. He doesn't know who to talk to, who can he share he's worries with. Ahem comes in looking for Jigar.

"There you are Jigar, I've been looking for you all over the house."

"Sorry Bhai, you should've called me, tell me what do you need?"

"I wanted to tell you that our first meeting has changed to 10:00am from 11:00am. Try not to be late, it's very important you're there."

"Ok Bhai, no problem i'll be there."

Ahem turns to go back into his room, Jigar thinks it's now or never.

"Bhai, can i talk to you for a minute please?"

"Ok be quick, what do you want?"

Jigar becomes nervous, he know's Ahem doesn't like talking about personal things, but he can't keep things to himself anymore, he has to talk to somebody.

"Ahem Bhai...Um...I..."

"What's wrong? Why are you so nervous, just tell me?"

(all in one breath Jigar say's) "Iwantedtotalktoyouabout Rashi."

"WHAT? Say it properly."

"I wanted to talk to you about Rashi, The thing is sh-

Ahem puts his hand up to stop Jigar.

"You know i don't like talking about your personal life, if it's about work then come talk to me, if not then talk to somebody else."

Ahem again turns around to go up to his room, when he then hear's some words he never thought he would hear from Jigar's mouth.

"What kind of brother are you?"

Ahem is very angry but also confused, did his little baby brother just really say what he thinks he said.

"Jigar what ar-"

Jigar puts his hand up to stop Ahem, (Bad idea Jigar) Jigar know's what he is doing is wrong and that he shouldn't behave like this with his older brother, but how much can a guy take?

"No Ahem Bhai, let me speak, forgive me but i have to say this, What kind of brother are you? Do you even see me as you're little brother anymore or am i just you're employee? We used to be so close, we were like best friends when we were smaller. Do you remember Ahem Bhai how we used to paly all the time when we were kids, play tricks on Kinjal, pick Mango's together from the tree in our Garden and play Cricket all the time. We used to tell each other everything? What happened, why won't you talk to me anymore or let me talk to you. When did become a strangers from being brothers?"

"Jigar listen to me i ju-"

"No Ahem Bhai, nothing can excuse you from this, Do you know what i wanted to say to you. Me and Rashi are still in the "friends" stage of our relationship. (Ahem is very shocked to hear that, he always thought things between Jigar and Rashi were better than him and Gopi) I'm really glad that things between you and Gopi Bhabi are much better than before, but what about me, Don't i deserve some happiness from my marriage?"

"I didn't know things are bad between you and Rashi?" What do you want me to say? Why don't you talk to your parents or Papa.?"

"I should talk to anybody but you right? If mom and dad know i am going through this do you know how hurt they will be. I can't talk to Kaka because he will tell mom and dad and i can't have that. Maybe if you saw me as a brother, you could've seen what i'm going through?"

Jigar then walks away from there, he is feeling so many things at once, Guilt, Sadness, Anger, Sick and very Scared. He shouldn't have spoken to his big brother like that. He is usually the calm one out of both the brother's. Today it seemed they had swapped places. He goes into his room and see's Rashi already asleep, again she went to sleep without waiting for him. He doesn't know what to do anymore, why doesn't Rashi to move forward in their relationship.

Ahem is lying in his bed thinking about what happened. He see's Gopi sleeping next to him on the bed, everyone in the house has been so busy in trying to bring him and Gopi together that no one noticed Jigar and Rashi are having problems too. Ahem is now starting to feel guilty, he never meant to hurt Jigar. He had no idea Jigar felt like that. He loves his little brother alot, he just doesn't know how to show it anymore, and feels there is no need to show it anymore. But whatever he feels now doesn't matter. His little brother is having problems and as the elder brother he has a duty to help him.

Next morning both brother's get ready to go jogging, both feeling guilty and nervous about the day ahead. Jigar goes out first. Ahem see's Jigar leaving the house and quickly follows him. Both of them are just jogging along without saying anything to each other. They stop for a break, Jigar is the first to break he silence.

"Ahem Bhai, i'm really sorry, forgive me i should not have spoken to you like that, i don't know what came over me."

"It's ok Jigar, you don't need to apoligise. I'm sorry too, I know i haven't been much of a brother to you, i just thought as you got older you could handle things yourself. You didn't need me anymore."

"I'm always going to need my older brother no matter what age we are, no matter what situation we are in."

"Come lets go get a drink, and you can tell me more about what you're worried about."

"Are you sure Ahem Bhai, shouldn't we be getting ready for our meeting at 10:00?"

"That's not important right now, now hurry up before i change my mind."

They both walk towards a cafe at the end of the park with Ahem's hand on Jigar's shoulder.
