Ray smiled sadly and said:- aunga sab ke liye aunga par vivaan ke liye sab se phele aunga .Anu and ray looked at sky smiled sadly and continue drinking tea.

Anu(think):- umeed karti hoon tu kush hai vivaan tune kaha tha tu upar se dekh ge ga.dekh debu ne tri har icha puti kar de .maine debu ne shadi kar le .ray hamre sath nahi rahta par hamre pariwar ka hissa hai .par tu chinta mat kar ek din ray bhi hamre sath rahega main koshish kar rahi hoon.aur karti raho gi aur tujhe pata hai karuna maa aur mom ko aj tak pata nahi chala teri bare main doba doba aaj bhi vivaan bana ghum raha hai jaise tu chahta tha ab tu kush hai na tu.she smiled looking at the sky though her eyes has tears.

She will be waiting a sister will always wait for him even though she know he will never return to her.

She closed her eyes and saw a happy face of vivaan infron her smiling and saying .

"Didi you did right"

She felt.peace.

Ray looked ta sky and saw vivaan face smiling at him.He so miss his smile .

He wanted to hear ray bhaiya from vivaam.But alas he lost this right the day he planned to kill vivaan.

He so wanted to fullfill his last wish but alas his guilt and regret are still their.And he know even though debu pretend to forgive him still.somewhere he was still hurt after all his blood brother killer his heart .

Vivaan was not only debu's brother but his heart .

For once he wanted to change the past but alas the time doesnot come back.

He will be waiting for god forgivness.

Maybe he was not good but he loved that boy dearly

Scene change to a cliff where a man was sitting at one direction and remembering something .tears were flowing from his eyes but he was sitting like a dead man looking at the same direction .He ears where ringing with only one word "debu bhaiya".He was remembering that one soft call which used to make him happy.

The smile with which vivaan used to call him used enlighten his day.

He still remember the day that snatch his life his heartbeat from him.

And the day still brought tears to his eyes still breaks his heart in zillion pieces .

The last words of vivaan was roaming in debu's ears.

"Bha..iya..plz....mujhe...apne..kasam...se..mukt ...kar....dijiye....plzz....main ....ye...dard....bardash....nahi...kar...paa....raha....hoon....plz...bhaiya..main...apni...maut...ka..bheek....mangta hoon."

He can still remember in the pain in his brothers voice.The tears in his brother's eyes.

He had always promised himself to save his brother but that day his brother asked him to grant him death that thought gave him chills.

He used fulfill all his wishes but this was the the toughest wish his brother ever asked him.

He produce his mobile from phone and looked at the screensaver which was the face of smiling vivaan .

'Teri har icha maine puri ki vivaan .

Tune jo manga diya use din tune mujhse mau...he paused and closed his eyes tears were flowing from his eyes.maut mangi woh bhi di kya tu ek bar meri baat manke dubara nahi aa sakta kya.

Tune kaha sab ko kush rahkana main sab ko kush rakhne ki puri koshish karta hoon .teri har baat mani maine vivaan tu kyu meri ek baat nahi maan sakta.

I miss you vivaan i miss youuuuuuu

He shouted on top of his lungs.

He was crying like a child hugging the phone.

He was remembering each and every moment with vivaan .His heart said :-vivaan bhi aise dard zhell raha tha .

He felt vivaan's voice in his ears:-

"Bhaiya...i lo..ve you...."

The words were ringing in his ears slowly after crying for many hours he felt weak he felt dizzy due to this emotional stress.He felt his heart empty.He slowly closed his eyes falling on ground the his finder fall on a audio which was pop up as remainder.

And the audio played a song

Surmayee ankhiyon main

Nanha munna ek sapana de jaa re

Surmayee ankhiyon main

Nanha munna ek sapana de jaa re

As soon as debu heard it he felt his mind goes in past and smiled appear on his face.a flashback came infront of his eyes.
