Ch 3 Maa.. I miss you

Prajakta peeped into Varun's room to ask Aarav to play with her. She sat on the bed and heard the sound of crack. She stood up and found a PlayStation joystick of Varun's. Her eyebrows lowered and pulled closer together and lips tightened and curled inwards and the corner of her mouth pointed downwards.

Varun came to his room and found a broken joystick in Prajakta's hand. Varun took a joystick from her hand "Why are you here?"

She said in a trembling voice "I am looking for Aarav. I accidentally sat on the joystick"

Varun pushed her down. She fell to the ground.

Aarav came to the room and asked "What are you doing? She is your sister"

Varun grabbed Aarav's collar. "Exactly, she is my sister. Don't come between us. If you didn't come here, I would be so happy. "

Prajakta held Varun's hand and said to Varun "What are you doing? I broke the joystick."

Varun looked at her "But you came here looking for him. Is that reason enough?"

Prajakta said "I am gonna call mother" and rushed to the kitchen to call her mother.

"Mom, Varun is fighting with Aarav"

Sheela came to Varun's room with Prajakta "Varun, take your hands off from his collar"

Varun said "Mom, Because of him. Prajakta broke my joystick"

Sheela said "I will buy you a new one. Now apologise to him for what you have done?"

"Mom, Why should I apologise? Why is he here? I don't want share my room with stranger"

Aarav looked down to the floor "Aunty, I will leave this house"

Sheela kneeled down to Aarav "You are not going anywhere."

Prajakta said "Mom, I will share my room with Aarav"

Sheela smiled "Look, Prajakta likes you. Don't bother about Varun. You can stay in Prajakta's room." she looked at Prajakta "Take Aarav to your room"

After Prajakta and Aarav left, Sheela warned Varun "Behave yourself. Why are you always picking on him? I want you to accept him as your brother."

Varun said "I don't need any brother"

Sheela kneeled to look at his face "Varun, He lost his parents. Why do you make him worry?"

Varun said "There are so many people outside without parents, why do you make a big fuss about him?"

Sheela said "You are grounded until you apologise to Aarav"

In Prajakta's room, Aarav and Prajakta sat on the bed and talked to each other. Prajakta said "Don't mind Varun, he is always like that"

Sheela came to Prajakta's room "Go to bed. Tomorrow you have to go to School" she turned off lights

At midnight, Aarav started talking in his sleep in the bed "Maa, Paa, don't leave me. Maa, stay by my side. Maa.. Maa…"

Prajakta wakes up at the sound of him and switches on the bedside lamp. She saw Aarav call his mom in his sleep. Prajakta placed her hand on the left side of his cheeks "Aarav…"

Aarav held her hand and brought it between the pillow and right side of his cheeks "Maa.. Don't leave me alone"

Prajakta looked at him. He mumbled "Maa.. I miss you" and slept. Prajakta's eyes grew heavy and closed her eyes and slept.
