8 months later

With a wide smile AB welcomed his friend outside the jail. After the completion of imprisonment, Vishal looked all over the yard for someone, but there was none but AB, who came to pick him. With a warm hug he welcomed Vishal and took him to the car.

"Is Cheeku OK ?" Vishal asked eagerly tieing the seatbelt. AB answered with enough positivity to reduce a brother's tension - "Yeah, both he and Akki are fine buddy. Your nephew has learnt to sit and crawl"

"Park the car near market, I'll buy so many toys for him. Can I ask something AB ? Cheeku never came to meet, neither today, is he still angry with me ?"

"Oh come on Vishal, he's cooking all of your favourite dishes that's why didn't come. And you know how much he worried about you ? Every single time he thinks about your health, pushes me to meet you, everyday cleans your room, allows nobody even including Akki to touch your things, scares him - mamu bohoth pitaii kharengey!"

With AB's mimicking Virat or the image of his household, Vishal smiled whole heartedly, after long. Single second seemed like long days in eagerness to see his little brother and nephew.

"Maa...muh" A cute, undressed baby crawled on Vishal's feet as soon as he step down into his house. Tears of happiness blessed the little boy as Vishal picked him up quickly. "Mamu ? How did he recognise me AB ?"

"How he couldn't ? His papa always reminds him mamu aayengey mamu aayengey... So he knows, one day a new person will come who is his mamu"

Vishal filled the soft body with a lot of kisses till then. The sweet giggling echoed in his ears like heaven's tune.

"But what is this Akki ? Where is your dress ? Is it a way of welcoming mamu ?" The foreigner softly wiped the droplets of water from his golumolu hips, "oh! You just bathed and directly crawled here without sponging ? So noughty you are!"

"Akaay! Nahaye ki nahi ?" Virat came outside of kitchen, whole house is filled with the aroma of delicious food. No doubt Virat arranged a splendid lunch today. But Vishal's stomach filled with his Cheeku's wide smile on his appearance.

"Bhaiya..."

The gap ended between two brothers. A lot of complaints fell from Virat's mouth as his brother became skinny, weak... And a pile of promises too to make him stronger again by serving all nutrients in meal. AB got emotional along with the brothers seeing their reunion. They didn't break the hug until a question occurred in Vishal's mind.

"Cheeku, you were in kitchen, then who was washing Akki ? Mamu akela nahana seekh gaya kya ?"

At that time someone came running from the washroom's direction with towels and little garments in hands, calling Akaay's name. Vishal's expression changed instantly as he knows the voice. Rohit!! He stopped in front of Vishal, pierced by the firing eyes.

"What's he doing here Cheeku ?"

Virat's face also darkened to face the upcoming terror. "I...I will tell you bhaiya..."

"Get lost Rohit Sharma!" Vishal shouted during Virat's blabbering. The emotional atmosphere of the house quickly turned into chaotic as Akaay started crying with the shout and Rohit tried to console him who had lowered his head just a few seconds ago. But Vishal angrily shouted again ordering him to staw away from the boy.

"What's going on Cheeku ? You promised me..."

"Vishal..." AB finally took the responsibility of being middle man though he also got intarrogated for Rohit's presence there. First he took Akaay from him and gave to Virat, then dragged his friend inside a room.

It was tough to cool an eager person as he wasn't ready for the shock. "What is he doing here AB ? Chal kya raha hai ye ?"

"Vishal! Calm down! Tell me, do you love your brother ?"

"Is it needed to be asked ? I love him more than my life!"

"Then try to understand him. He wants to stay with Rohit. Yes, that person who tortured him once. But now confessed everything and had punishment too. Before one month he got bail. And his first impression after prisonment was his son. Your brother was also eager to see him. I saw the pain of love in their eyes. Rohit was dying in guilt. See, he was forced to mistreat Virat and later lamented too much. Not giving a second chance to him wouldn't be a good choice"

That was enough for touching Vishal's tolerance limit, he himself didn't know how could he control the wrath while throwing another question - "and who the fuck told you that monster was dying in guilt ?"

"I told him Vishal beta"

A female voice echoed in the room. Rohit's mother was so unexpected for Vishal that time, he looked around with disgust and annoyance but AB stood calm. Mrs. Sharma continued;

"I had forced my son to mistreat your innocent brother, I should get the imprisonment but my son got it. How many times could I let him suffer for my sin ? After Virat's decision for divorce he became like a living corpse. Even after getting bail he captivated himself in room. Skipped meals and nap, avoiding calls and works. It was intolerable for a mother after accepting daughter's death, watching son's death in guilt. So I approached AB, only he could solve the misery. And he did. I won't forget this greatness in my whole life. Also unable to pay for my mistakes but can say you one thing, now you will see your brother living a happy life, wheather I'm having my daughter's photograph with white garlands. Whatever, I was the root of this turmoil, so I'm going from their lives forever, to my ancestral house. Virat and my grandson will live in your supervision, just have some mercy on my son too. I have given all of my property to Akaay's name..."

"Aunty..." Even in disgust Vishal felt bad somewhere to see his mother-in-law's clear confession. Rohit and Virat also appeared there along with the baby. Both faces were pale, like waiting for god's certificate for a better life. After scrutinized them with warm gaze Vishal lowered head to Mrs. Sharma;

"I can't give back your daughter to you, but can give your son another chance to choose life or death. Now I don't fear law or punishment. In future if I ever see a scratch on my brother's holy body, I'll send your son to his sister!"

At night ✨

"Mummy ji ki yad aa rahi hai ?" Virat asked softly who was still awake beside him. Rohit answered in lower tone not disturbing their sleeping son - "you shouldn't give me a second chance Vi, I don't deserve"

With a sigh Virat's palm moved on to Rohit's wrist. "But I deserve a happy life with that person I love"

"You love ? Did you forget how much I mistreated you ? Recently, before going to jail, on our anniversary I pushed you and my poor son out of the house ?"

On the last words, Rohit's voice choked with tears leading Virat snuggle more to him. "I didn't. I also didn't forget those days, before our marriage, your shyness to express love, stammering while proposing me, like vi..vi.. actually I.. lo..lllloo..." A sweet chuckle covered by Virat's palm in order to make Akki's nap unbroken. To fill Rohit's interest he continued, "and I didn't forget your care too"

"Care after giving wound"

"Main phir bhi tumko chahunga Rohit"

The gap ended between them as Virat hovered over his husband. Not letting him lament more he grabbed his lips by himself. Rohit also surrendered soon, with a lot of silent promises they made the atmosphere restless, being unable to let baby sleep peacefully at last.
