74 Counseling (2/2)
”I... I... Um.. Thrishul... I forgot” stuttered Prakruth.
”Words got stuck in throat huh, let me take them out myself” said Thrishul angrily rushing towards Prakruth.
”Easy guys.... Easy” said Dr. Sudarshan holding both the boys away from each other.
”Doctor he has forgotten something it seems.... Let me thrash him so he'll get some memories back” said Thrishul shouting.
”This is hospital, behave!!” said Prakruth softly yet strongly.
”Take your fight outside... Go” said Dr. Sudarshan.
Punya who walked towards them said ”Thrishul you're here. I was searching you for a while”
”Whole night I searched for you and you're tired for a while???” asked Thrishul.
”Mr. Grumpy, stop scowling” said Punya.
”I will.... if you tell me where you were last night” said Thrishul.
”Come... We'll go out. I'll tell you everything” said Punya holding Thrishul's arm and pulled him out of the hospital. Prakruth followed them.
”Stop, I'm not your pet dog. Don't drag me” screamed Thrishul pulling out his arm roughly.
”God, what's gotten into you. You're acting like Mad” said Punya.
”Yeah I'm.... I've every reason to be mad... You went missing whole night” yelled Thrishul.
”You fought with me yesterday evening and left me in the parking lot” said Punya
”Yes... Evening we fought, I thought you would take a cab and come home but you disappeared. You didn't even answer my calls. Which mad would do that?”
”Hmmm I was angry at you” said Punya.
”Oh well... But where did you go whole night? You weren't in Mangalore at all. I enquired all your friends, your classmates and searched all possible places. So you must've gone to the farms... Right??”
”Yes I was at farms. So what??” asked Punya.
Thrishul turned towards Prakruth and asked ”Hey man, how dare you lie to me?”
”Thrishul I was at my farm house with grandparents. He didn't know until you called today morning. I wanted to keep grandparents away from all this so I went to act normal. Got it” explained Punya.
”Hmmm..” sighed Thrishul. He didn't buy the lie.
”What?? Why still staring at Prakruth now?” asked Punya.
”I told him to inform me if he found you. I was tensed as hell. He has lost even the least consideration which I had on him” said Thrishul.
”We had to rush to hospital as Dad called. This has nothing to do with Prakruth” Punya defended.
Thrishul scoffed. ”Ok bring Rishi, we'll go home” he said.
”Thrishul, doctor has advised Rishi to stay with Prakruth to get rid of his fear. So he is going to the farms for a week” said Punya
”What??!!!”
”Yes...”
”That doctor must be nuts. To get rid of the lion fear, enter the den... How stupid??” asked Thrishul sarcastically.
”Well ask doctor yourself” shrugged Punya.
”Wait... I understand everything now....you plotted all of this... You're great Prakruth” said Thrishul.
”What are you talking about?” asked Prakruth. ”You don't have your own family so drawing this family towards you??” said Thrishul.
”How??? What are you talking about?” asked Punya.
”First he drew your Dad and my Dad to build his hospital, attracted you to farms based on your agriculture interest, then your grandparents to get treated there, now your brother. Wow... Why have you left Narmada Aunty. Take her too... Shift whole Punya's residence to Bantwal... Stay happily with them” blabbered Thrishul.
Prakruth started laughing loudly.
”You laugh.... Fake love, fake care won't last long. I'll get my family back... Well!! now take her brother and do baby sitting at farms. When I take revenge, you'll cry for help” said Thrishul and walked away.
”What just happened?” asked Punya.
”Screw your cousin... No time for bullshit... Get into the car. We'll go” said Prakruth.
”Ok... Rishi get in” said Punya.
”What about your parents?” asked Prakruth.
”Dad has some work till evening. They'll come at night to farms” said Punya getting into the car.
Prakruth nodded and started the car.
