Sid shooked his head and went to his room. He divided the money he brought and kept it at different places safely and checked once properly because there are multiple cases of thievery in hostels. His phone rang. He checked and it was his father. He groaned as he didn't want to talk to him twice in the same day. But anyways he picked up the phone.

Sid: Hello

Ishaan: Hii Sid. I told you to call me once you get money. But you didn't call me. So I myself thought to call you once. You got money right? I transferred it

Sid: Ya I got it. I just came back so couldn't call. I got the money. Thanks

Ishaan: Ya ya it's fine. Anything else?

Sid: No. I just needed money so asked you

Ishaan: Okk. Pack everything properly. Don't forget anything. Take care of yourself. You have necessary medicines and all right?

Sid: Umn ya I have everything and you don't worry. I will be fine

Sid replied in a bit cold tone as he didn't like him giving instructions. Ishaan sighed by listening to his tone but refrained from speaking anything as he didn't want to spoil his mood.

Ishaan: Alright. Please call me before leaving tomorrow and once you reach

Sid: Ya alright

Ishaan: Okk bye

Sid: Ya bye

Ishaan hanged up the call. Sid threw his phone on bed and laid down. He himself didn't know how he wanted his father to behave. When he felt he wasn't caring about him or not giving him any attention or care, it hurted him and made him angry. When he showed care for him, try to include himself in his life, Sid tried pushing him away by his cold behavior. Sid showed him he didn't need him.

Maybe he was so tired of ignorance and getting hurted so he choosed not to get attached to anyone in first place. Secondly he thought everyone was just showing fake concern and care if anyone did cared for him including his father. But still somewhere he was getting weak in showing fake cold emotions in front of Abhi and Avu. His masked feelings were getting aside and let's see when he would show his fragile feelings for them. But he was still trying to push his father away because he had the closest relationship with him and couldn't afford to get hurt from him anymore.

For now he was thinking about Avu's words. Did he really do friendship with Abhi because he helped him or was he denying his urge to have company in life. He was really tired of being alone and needed someone badly in his life. Was he just fooling everyone with these thoughts that it was just a gesture to thank Abhi. Or more precisely he was fooling himself. Because Abhi had friends and didn't someone to do any favor on him by being his friends. He won't really be hurted if he didn't be friends with him. And even if Abhi would be hurted why would he care for it.

He badly wanted answers to these questions but no one else could answer these questions. He had to himself answer them. He got up and went to mess to have his dinner. Then he started studying after coming from walk. Someone knocked his door at around 11. He got confused as no one ever came to his room this late. He was ready to shout on whosoever it was for disturbing him. But as he opened the door, he calmed down immediately.

Sid: Bhai

Abhi:(mumbled) As expected

Sid: Huh?

He asked raising his eyebrow.

Abhi: I knew it you must be studying only

He said pushing him away and coming inside without any permission. Sid sighed and shut the door and went inside.

Sid: Bhai aap yaha kya kar rahe ho iss time par?

Abhi: Kal trip par jaana hai to aese hi jaane ki tyaari hai? Samaan nhi lekar jaana? Chal packing kare. Khud to tu kuch karega nhi

Sid: Bhai mein kar loonga na

Abhi: Travel bag kahan hai?

He asked ignoring Sid. Sid tried convincing him he will do but Abhi didn't listen a word and both completed the whole packing in about an hour.
