Vedant

After making tushar sleep and covering him with a quilt. She got up from bed. I Patted on the sofa indicating her to sit near me. She came to sit beside me i took her in a hug, she also hugged me back

"Can you tell me what happened now"

"He is my father, he has been an alcoholic since the start. He used to ask my mother for money after she died , he started asking me for money, sometimes he would hit me or tushar in anger, i didn't wanted my little brother to go through all this, after completing schooling , i started working and earning when I had saved enough i decided to shift, without telling him I with tushar shifted in this rented room, and yesterday I don't know how he found my address and everything happened" she had tears in her i held her head in my both hands and kissed her forehead

"Don't worry, I am with you"

"Thank you for coming" she wrapped her hands around my neck and hugged me

I rubbed her back" it's okay Ishani"

"I will search for another apartment for you"

"It's very expensive, I am okay here you don't worry about it"

"Don't worry about it, I had bought an apartment on my name last year, you shift there"

"No I can't shift,"

"And what's problem in that"

"I am not a gold digger who would enjoy on your money"

"Oh god Ishani you are unbelievable, why does this stupid things come to in your mind" i face palmed

She looked away
"Then okay I will shift here with you"
I declared

"What, are you mad what will people say, a boy and girl under same roof "

"People people people" i shouted at her making her flinch

"People you only care about people, what about me"

"It's not like that vedant ji" she said coming closer to me" but why are you eager for my shifting "

"Because of your father only, if not for yourself think about tushar's safety"
I pulled her towards me, her hands landed on my chest

"It's not easy vedant ji, he will not come again any time soon I know till then I will find other place you don't worry"

"How i can't worry Ishani, he hit tushar he was going to hit you"

"I will take care of him he will live with us stay with us"

She didn't replied anything

"Don't answer me now, take your time"
"And please let me stay here, i will sleep on the sofa"

She hugged me out of nowhere hitting my back on the sofa , I can hear her cries

"What happened jaan are you angry with me. I am sorry if I did something" I asked her terrified did i made her cry.

" I am so thankful to God that I have a partner like you"
