"Di, are you fine? I mean you look tired and restless.." Aaru asked me with concern.

Should I tell her? No! This wouldn't be right. I can't reveal Sanam's issue outside. It's our family matter. Aaru is close to me and is like a sister to me but I should not share this with her. We are hiding his situation from the world. I can't tell her.

I was brought out of my thoughts when she snapped her fingers in front of my eyes. "Diiiii... Kaha kho gai?" She chuckled.

"Umm.. Nothing yaar.. Bas aise hi.. Ghar ki baatein.." I shrugged, "U know, shadi ke baad life completely changes" I tried to convince her. She nodded and asked, "Vaise, humare jiju hai kon? What's his name?" She asked getting excited again.

I lchuckled seeing her excitement, "Samar Puri" I replied softly. I know I was blushing. I looked at her to catch her priceless expressions, her jaw dropped and eyes widened in utter shock. "Muh band kr.. Macchar ghus jayega." I chuckled lightly pulling up her chin closing her mouth.

"You mean.. The lead guitarist of Band SANAM!" Her eyes were lighten up with excitement. I nodded, "OMG! I can't believe this! Di you are so lucky!" She looked so happy that her voice became lil louder. Gosh!! This girl is still same.. Can not control her excitement. I softly squeezed her palm slowly signing her to stay calm.

"You know I am such huge fan of the band. Eeeeee I can't believe it! I am so happy.. Di I wanna meet him.. Pls pls pleeeeeeaaaaasssseeeee...." She stretched the word 'Please' making me chuckle. "U know I was so damn happy when I got the news that he was getting married but I didn't know that it was you! Basically I just cut off myself from social platforms for a pretty long time so I didn't come to know later too."

" Okay, okay. Chill. You can meet the entire band. Waise Kuch apne bare me bhi to bata.. How's uncle? Is he fine now?" When I was in last year her father had a paralysis attack. Her cheerful face suddenly lost it's charm.

Did I asked something wrong?

"He is no more.." She replied in an inaudible voice looking out of the window beside us. I was stunned, 'Shit!! What did I ask!'

"I.. I am really sorry, Aaru. I didn't know about this sweetheart" I kept my palm over hers. I felt sorry for ruining her good mood.

"Nah. Its fine di. Why are you being sorry?" She smiled and blinked her lashes few times. She always does it when she is about to cry but controlling her tears. "Okay so how is Bhumi? Koi change aya or still the same?" I tried to divert her mind from this topic and it actually worked. She smiled brightly, "She is good. She is a fashion designer now and works with KT." I knew it that Bhumi's name will make her smile heartily.

"That's great dude. KT's designs are awesome. I must meet her, I usually go to the 'KT House'."

"She would be surprised!" she chuckled. "BTW what's going on in your life?" I asked her. "Nothing much. I am a psychologist basically child counselor and ghar me... After we live with Arti bua she permanently shifted to take care of us. We are happy." she told me with a smile.

"And what about Aryan? When are you guys going to get mingled ha? " I winked teasing her.

"We are over." She said plainly.

What?! How's this possible? They were so madly in love with each other during college days. What could have happened? I am such big idiot, I again saddened her!

"Hey.. Don't worry. I am fine with it." She said but I knew she wasn't. I was damn confused. "Bt ye sab..." I spoke. "Bohot lambi kahani h.. Kisi din fursat me bataungi." She chuckled softly. "Oooi maa! I am late! Mai chalti hu.. Btw do you want me to drop you somewhere? Your car was punchered I guess." She said hurriedly as she got up grabbing her bag.

"Its fine.. Driver sent me message just now. My car is ready now." I showed her the message. "Okay.. Uhh.. Take my number we can talk afterwards." She suggested. We exchanged our numbers and then we left.

The door bell rang and I went to open the door. Keshu, Venky nd Ben were there.

"Hey man!" Keshu hugged me as he entered inside. "Hey bro." I hugged him back. "Wassup Venk" I hugged Venky. "All good dude" he replied.

"Hey Ben" gave him a hifi. We all gathered in the living room for a discussion. "Where is Sanam?" Keshu asked me.

"Still in his room?" Venky questioned. I nooded. "This isn't good Sam.. We need him, the band needs him, most importantly.. Our family needs him." Ben told.

"I know guys and you all also know that we are trying our best to get him out of depression. But he is not ready for any change. He doesn't want to change anything! What can I do?" I explained them. They all nodded understanding my side.

"Where is Somu Bhabhi?" Keshu asked me. "She went to pick up Amaya from school." I told him and he nodded. "She is the one who can deal with him. What are we doing here? Let's go in his room, we should not leave him alone." Keshu suggested.

We all entered in his room. It was in complete darkness. The scene pierced my heart like an arrow. What the shit has he done to himself? To his life? I can't see my brother in this terrible condition.

I pushed the curtains aside so that sunlight could enter inside the room.

He was sitting on the left side of his bed. His back was facing us.

"Sanam.. Bro, what were you doing in this darkness?" Keshu sat beside him and so did I.

He looked at us with a blank face, "Bhai at least Hii to bol de" I chuckled a bit. "Hii guys" he said emotionlessly. Urghh! Can't he try to be normal? I saw a photo frame in his hand. Which included him and the girl who took away my brother with her, Khushi . The girl who changed my brother.. And his life..

"Umm.. Sanam we are thinking of a new Sanamsingle. It would be a rendition, what do you think?" Ben tried to grab his attention from the frame. He nodded but still his eyes fixed on the picture.

"This time a happy song." Venky spoken up nd Sanam looked at us with a tensed face.

"Sanam.. See bro we can't just record sad songs anymore, okay? We already released 3 sad songs in continuation for 5 months. Our fans are expecting something new from us. We are not forcing you. Give yourself some time till then we will also think of a perfect song." I tried to calm him down as I patted his back, luckily he agreed. Thank god!

After the band members went Soumya returned back with my little princess, Amaya.
