Its been three years. Three years after the incident which snatched everything from him. Slowly he understood no one is going to come for him. No one is going to comfort him when he is scared or hurt. The hope of his brother coming to get him back faded down day by day and now it was no where to be seen in his eyes or mind. But the scars imprinted on his body and soul was increasing.

With passing the days in the place Sid started to believe it was his mistake. He should have saved his mother but the matter was he was the one who murdered his mother. At last he also started to beleive it. Still his heart denied to accept that. But the thought of his brothers believing him as a murderer made him too to think like that.

The juvenile didn't even helped a much to him. He was switched from room to room, from roomate to roomate but the torments he endured never decreased..he didn't knew how he spent 3 years here...

Like always Sid was sitting under the tree looking at the parents who were making their children to eat by their hands. It was another Sunday and a usual day for him.

Sid looked at a boy who was around 15 and his mother and brother was with him. Sid came to know that the boy was there because he pushed his classmate from the school balcony intentionally and that classmate was in coma. But the boys mother and brother was showering him with love. Sid's eyes filled up when he saw that boys brother feed him.

Sid remembered how his brothers will run behind him just to make him drink his milk or to make him eat his evening snack while playing. Sid didn't knew what changed suddenly..he couldn't understand why they never came to him. Sid still remembered the anger and hate in their eyes while they took him to the funeral of his mother. But atlast they didn't even let him to do the rituals. 3 years back little sid didn't understood why were they acting like that...but being here in a place like this for 3 years the little kid and the innocence in him was brutally killed and sid was forced to matured up. He understood what right he was been denied back then. That made him angry but his anger was always bottled up and he never showed it to anyone. Especially after once the warden told that he would do like this only when he has even killed his mother.

From that instance he stopped himself from getting angry. But on the other hand he got scared for everything and the senior boys didn't missed the chance to inflict pain and fear in him. So sid always preferred to be alone and that also gave a free pass for the other boys to bully him.

After sitting for so long under the tree sid decided to feed himself. No one is going to care for him and he knew that. Thanking the god for the remaining breakfast he took the plate and went to the same place he was sitting before. Raju was released a month ago as his punishment period was done and sid was a little happy as his all time tormentor was not there. But his happiness died when he saw the same guy walking inside with his minions.

Sid got scared when his plate was snatched away and the boy stood before towering over him.

Raju: aisa lagata hai jaise thum bahut khush hain (seems like u are so happy....)he said while sid just sat there not even looking up.

Raju laughed when he saw sid was slightly trembling. He always found it interesting to make him suffer. Sids eyes pooled up slowly when Raju started talk about his brothers again. The one way he used to make him cry in a instant.

After sometime sid tried to stand up when one of the boys pushed him again. Sid winced in pain and looked up.

Raju:tumamen meree aankhon mein dekhane kee himmat hai na....(u got the guts to look into my eyes huh.)...he said and raised his hands to slap him.

Sid closed his eyes tightly waiting for the impact but upon not receiving any he slowly opened his eyes to see Raju's hand was in the air stopped by someone. Sid looked at the boy standing beside him who was of same age as Raju. He has seen him before from last 2 days. The boy was looking so rugged. Sid got scared of him and maintained a good distance from him.

The boy pushed Raju away and stood before sid blocking his view. By looking at him itself sid could see he was elder than him...may be he was 16 or 17. Sid looked at him with a wide eye.

Boy: tum kaun ho yaar....tumhaaree himmat kaise huee use maarane kee koshish karane kee....(who are u man....how dare you try to hit him...).

Raju:oh...ek naya...tumhen pata nahin bhaee...main ek maheene pahale riha hua hoon....(ohh...a new one...u don't know be bro...i got released a month ago....)

Boy:to phir ab aap yahaan kya kar rahe hain.... ( then what are u doing here now....)

Raju:oh...main apane dost se milane aaya tha...(oh...i came to meet my friend..).he said pointing to one of his minions who was still in the juvenile.

Boy:  to usase milo aur kho jao... tumhen use pareshaan karane ka adhikaar kisane diya...(then meet him and get lost...who gave u the right to disturb him....)

Raju: ohh tumane meree anupasthiti mein mitr banaaye....(u made friends in my absence siddharth)....he asked looking at sid to which he shook his head in a no tears threatening to fall down.

Boy:    dost ho ya nahin...tumhen use chhoone ka koee adhikaar nahin hai...dapha ho jao yahaan se......(friends or not....u don't have any right to touch him...get lost from here..).he said amd grabbed Sid's hands and dragged him away from there.. Raju looked at them in anger but as he was not allowed inside the building he can't go after them. He gritted his teeth and left from there.

Here the new boy dragged Sid into the building. Sid looked at the boy and was getting scared of him also. He tried to get away from his grip but it was so tight.

Sid: please...please mujhe chhod den..i am sorry.....

The boy stopped and turned to sid who was looking at him with teary eyes...

Boy:  aap soree kyon kah rahe hain?....
( why are u saying sorry...)

Sid just shook his head in a no and looked down. The boy left his hand and took a step forward but sid stepped back in fear.

Boy:  yah bhaee hai...main tumhen chot nahin pahunchaoonga...main kaartik hoon....tumhaara naam kya hai...( it's bro...i will not hurt u...i am Karthick....what's ur name..).he said looking at his face.

Sid stood there not knowing what to answer but he was scared of him. In this three years his mind has made him believe that the senior boys will only be bullies...Karthick again tried to touch him but sid took steps back and in a swift he ran away....Karthick looked at him in confuse and determined to know what was wrong with sid....

Sid was sitting at the window side looking outside at the moon. The whether was so chilly but the presence of moon made him relaxed. It was three days after he returned from Shreyas house. The marriage arrangements was going on and he was being the silent spectator all the time. Anamika never missed a chance to make him involve in everything.

The brothers were happy to see him atleast getting along with Anamika and Shreya. But their hearts bleed out when he didn't even give them a glance. He never acknowledged their presence. But today when they were discussing about the party theme for the reception he saw how Vaishu and Abhishek was fighting with eachother and how Aadhvik and Nisha was pulling each other's legs. The friendship between them made him remember his only friend who was his only solace back then.

Sid came out of his thoughts when there was a knock. He turned to see Abhishek standing at the door looking at him.  He frowned and looked at the clock. It was 8.30 and he would be here to call him for dinner. Sid sighed. He was not in a mood to eat. He wanted to be left alone.

Abhi: dinner is ready Sid...come let's go...

Sid: i don't want to eat...u..u can go...he said looking other side...

Abhi: why u don't want to eat....u have to take ur medicines also...

Sid: i said na...i don't want to eat...just get lost from here....he yelled.

Abhi got concerned as he has to take his medicines. Shreya has strictly told to make him eat and take his medicines.

Abhi: i know u are angry on us siddharth....but u can't ignore ur health....

Sid(chuckling sadly): why I will be angry on all of u when there is no reason and relationship between us...

Abhi: no one can deny the relationship between us siddharth....we are brothers...

Sid: no...he cut off him quickly while Abhi got shocked on this.

Sid: no...no..we are not...my brothers left me 7 years ago...and i accepted that...why can't u all leave me alone....he asked while a single tear escaped his eyes.

Abhi stood not knowing what to do. He knew they did wrong with him. He knew they abandoned him. But now hearing that directly from sid Abhi couldn't take it. But he composed himself. What ever the hell happened in the past they can mend it afterwards but now sid and his health was important for him. So he composed himself and looked at sid...

Abhi: whatever u think about us siddharth I don't care....now come with me and have ur dinner...u have to take ur medicines....he said in a stern voice.

Sid: I will not come...

Abhi: ok...u asked for this...he said and marched towards him.

Sid got scared and took a step back but Abhi grabbed his hand and pulled him to himself and picked him up on his shoulder.

Sid: what the hell...leave me...let me down...he struggled but Abhi started to walk out of the room carrying him.

Sid struggled and was literally punching him. But Abhi felt he was carrying a small child. He was so light to carry. Abhi's eyes misted thinking about his baby brother being starved and under weight.

Sid: let me down....i will come...please dada....he said and Abhi stopped on his track in shock and sid realised what he said.

Abhi slowly let him stand down still looking at him in shock. Sid looked away as he let himself slip his words and he didn't wanted to hear them saying him not to call them like that.

Abhi: what...what did u called me now...he asked with teary eyes but sid thought that Abhi was going to tell the same thing which others have told him to when he called them as bhai.

Sid: so..sorry...i will not call like that again...i am sorry...he said and ran down the stairs wiping his tears not giving any chance to Abhi to say anything.

Abhi stood there with teary eyes when Aadhvik came there.

Addu: Abhi...are u crying...what happened....

Abhi: Addu...he..he called me dada....

Addu also froze in shock. That was the name given by their little Ashu to them as he felt it was difficult to call them Abhi bhai and Addu bhai. So he started calling them dada and after sometime it changed as daddhu for Aadhvik. He looked at Abhi and Abhi nodded in yes and explained what happened...

Abhi: I am telling u now Addu...what ever happened in past or whatever happens in future....he is our brother Addu...he is our Ashu...i am not going to leave him again Addu...he needs us...i am going to be there for him...we all should....

Addu was still in dilemma. But whatever he has heard from Shreya about sid has shattered his inner soul. But still the face of his mother came to him everytime he thinks about sid. He found difficult to agree to Abhis words but he will never go against his brothers...no matter what he will stand with Abhi and Abhi also know this....

Both the brothers composed himself and climbed the stairs with a new determination that winning his little brother back....but will they be successful in it...only the time has the answer....
