A boy was sitting on his broken bed when suddenly the door harshly opened, it made him flinch and instinctively hide his face, to his surprise no hits came to him. He saw his saviour looking at him with gentle gaze, his gaze was enough for assuring the latter that nothing bad is going to happen. The saviour is AJINKYA RAHANE, the home room head who too had similar experience as the boy in this hostel. When he saw this boy for the first time he decided to protect him as his own.

The boy is none other than Hardik who was sent by his parents for the crimes he never committed. It's been 10 years since that incident but no one even bothered to take a look on the boy. He was not even allowed home, his beloved father wrote a written note to the principal saying

He would believe that this is fake but his broken heart shattered more when he saw his father's stamp and signature on it. Ajinkya who know what the boy has been through felt hatered towards his (Harry's) father. Harry cried in the embrace of his saviour

H:-(sobbing)  p-p-pa-papa! c-c-c-ant d-do th-this t-to m-m-me b-b-hai. A-a-m I-I t-t-ha-t b-bad?? I s-s-swear I-I d-d-int p-p-pu-sh R-ru-vi. B-b-hai y-you b-b-be-lie-ve m-m-me r-ri-ght??

A:- (gently) yes baccha I believe you hmm accha chalo chup ek Dum, Kal birthday Hai na mere bacche ka. Toh bolo kya chahiye??
(Yes I believe you hmm now now wipe your tears, tomorrow is your birthday baby tell me what do u want?.)

H:- b-bas e-e-ek b-baar p-p-pa-papa s-se b-b-aath k-karni h-hai p-p-ple-a-se.
(Just once I want to talk to papa)

Ajinkya knew this, how can he say to his little baby that he tried to call his father but all the response he got was he doesn't care about his son. Tomorrow this boy is turning 18 and he has no idea whether his parents would come to take him??. If not then he won't hesitate to take the boy away from his so called parents. As he was in thoughts again the door opened making them flinch. Jinks hid Harry in his chest and looked up only to find his boyfriend smiling like a fool. A sigh of relief left from his mouth, he smiled and gently caressed Harry's hairs.

A:- see Bubba who is here!

To which he peeked from his embrace and gasps happily

H:- SHIKI PA!!!

S:- ha Mera baccha
(My kiddo)

Hardik without a thought jumped in his embrace. This was a sight to see, jinks too smiled at their antics. Shikhar Dhawan the protector of his two babies is here. He hugged the youngest tightly. He is safe space for these two omegas

S:- Accha chalo aab cake cutting karenge OK
(Now now let's cut the cake shall we)

H:- aap mere liye Chocolate cake laiye ho na 🥺🥺
(Did u bring me Chocolate cake??)

A:- yes kiddo just like your favorite, now now make a wish and then blow the candles.

He did and wished for something. The couple adored him as he was too adorable. After the cake cutting they decided to accompany the boy, knowing that today is his last day here. Hardik felt asleep in Shikhar's embrace, while Ajinkya was patting his head. Tears slipped from his eyes knowing that tomorrow his bubba will not be with him. Shikhar looked at him and said

S:- shhh meri jaan sab theek hojayega Kal yeh apne Ghar apne mumma-papa ke pass hoga. Aese nhi rote Hai.
(Shh my love everything is fine, see na tomorrow he'll be with his mumma-papa. Please don't cry my love.)

A:- (silently sobbing) Kitna kuch Saha Hai  isne in dus saalon mein, kis family ki Baath Kar Rahe ho tum?, woh logon ne ek baar palat Kar pucha bhi nhi ki kaisa Hai, zinda Hai ya nhi!. Har din pco booth par jaata Hai yeh soch kar ki ek baar uske papa call uthaenge par nhi us haramzade ko to bus mere bacche ko ignore karna Hai. Main bol raha ho shiki agar Kal koi usse lene nhi aaya na toh hum usse lekar punjab chale jayenge aur adopt Kar lenge

(How much he has beared in these 10 years, and which family are you talking about? Those people who aren't even bothered to check whether he us dead or alive? Everyday he goes to the pco booth and thinks just once his papa will pick up the call, but no that bastard has to ignore my baby. I'm telling you shiki if tomorrow no one comes to pick him up then we will take him punjab and adopt him.)

Shikhar just smiled at him and caressed his hairs. Eventually they'll fall asleep.

Somewhere else
A man was sitting in his room lost in his thoughts when his wife nudged him. His trance broke and he looked at his wife. A worried expression was etched on his wife's face.

W:- you good Mahi??  Is something bothering u??

Mahi looked at his wife and said

M:- Dino, Tomorrow's the day of bringing him back. Who'll go to get him??

Instead of friendly expression his wife's features sterned up. He said

D:- none of us going to get that STIGMA, IF you're worried then some guards. After that incident I don't want him to breath in the same air as us. You don't have to worry about him.

Mahi sighs and goes to sleep, he is unaware about the storm that'll knock his door soon.

With Rohit
He was in his room when his gaze went to the little cupboard in his room, his mind immediately went back to the memory.

Flashback
Ro:- 6 Harry:- 4

Ro:- Harry baccha,  come on let's go mama's calling us.

He found no one in his room, he knew that his brother are playing hide and seek with him.

Ro:- (teasing) OK then all the tasty Mysore pak is mine, Harry's not gonna get any

A little whine was heard and the door of the little cupboard opened up to reveal an almost crying Harry. Ro immediately too his little panda in his arms and hushed him.

H:- chu bvery bwad! Chu wanna ewat all the dwelicious sweets mwama mwade fol mwe. Hmp

R:- OK OK.bubba no one is eating your food now now let's go before Jassi eats them

H:- (holding his brother's hands) lwets gwo wohoooo

Flashback ends

Sighing he wiped his tears and said

R:- no Rohit that bitch doesn't deserve happiness. He caused all these incidents in the family.
