Suna bhi kuch nahi

Kaha bhi kuch nahi

Par kuch aise bikhre hai

Zindagi ki kashmkash mai

Ki Kuch toota bhi nahi

Aur kuch bacha bhi nahi

(Nothing is heard and nothing is said

But life is scattered in a way that nothing is broken and nothing is left)

"Sir, this is for you." maid handed him an envelope. Akshay opened it and its an invitation to award the winning team of Indian super league. He checked the finalists team and this time Mumbai warriors and Bengluru bulls are fighting for the trophy.

"Mumbai warriors" he mumbled and memories of past start coming back.

"Bhai (brother) I need a favour" Anuj said with puppy dog face.

"and what is it today my prince" Akshay said without breaking contact from his file.

"Bhai, I don't want to go to London."Anuj blurt with eyes closed and fingers crossed.

" What? "Akshay left his work immediately.

" Bhai I am least interested in economics. I don't understand how the law of economics work. Its not my cup of tea. I can't do that. "Anuj said holding Akshay's hand in his hand.

" okay if you don't want to do that, you'll not do that but Anuj you have to do something to support yourself. As a brother I'll always support you but you have to take responsibility on some point of time. I suggest you to find your passion and work on it. "

" I know my passion bhai but no one will agree with my decision. "

" Then you have to learn to present your point in convincing way. "Akshay said. No matter how much he loves his younger brother but truth is he can't be with him all the time. He has to learn fighting his battle.

" I am not going to London "Anuj announced to everyone and reaction is as expected. His mother is clueless, father didn't care, Bhabhi (Sister in law) and Avni is concerned and Dadaji is not pleased.

" I want to play professional football. "Anuj said. Its most difficult thing to do but he did it today. He chooses where his heart is.

" Are you out of your mind Anuj."Dadaji said." You belong to Ranawat family. We play games to de stress ourself not making it as career option. Its very risky decision and career span is very short. "

" but I can't sit in a office staring balance sheet and financial data. "

" Our company isn't limited to that. We have many department like marketing, construction, graphics etc. " the argument continue.

" So you won't let me do what I want. "

" Give me a business plan and may be I'll agree. Games is too risky and uncertain career option. "

" Fine, if you don't let me play, fine, give me 50 million to set up my alternative business. I'll show you my caliber. "Anuj came on the table for negotiation with his grandfather and he agreed ultimately.

Anuj put the foundation stone of football club Mumbai warrior. It was so difficult to convince players to play for this newly started club in the start. Later Anuj organised inter college football matches to find fresh faces. He has worked hard to form a team. Akshay used to see three of them i. e. Anuj, Avni and Smita discussing Jersey of team, logo of Mumbai warrior and many more things. Smita was very good in marketing, Avni is in logo and Jersey designing and Anuj on the field.

"Akshay hurry up I don't want to miss first match of our team." Smita banged the washroom door.

"Just five minutes." Akshay repeated her usual reply

"Akshay came out immediately. I am getting late."

"Just five minutes." he chuckled

"Akshay you will come outside in five minutes otherwise..

" otherwise Smita, what will you do? "Akshay teased her and she stormed out from there and went to guest room.

Everyone is so excited to saw first match of Mumbai warrior. Enthusiasm is the spirit of house today. They reach twenty minutes earlier and be seated. There was very low to no crowd in stadium as its still a new team. Their team played really well but other team Goa goffers was much stronger team. They lost it and everyone is disappointed.

"Common its just first match of tournament . We shall win in upcoming match." Akshay tried to cheer up.

"You are right bhai. We have to be patient. My dream of watching this team holding winners trophy will fulfill in upcoming years. After that I'll sponsor team India for FIFA. There is so much to do for football in this country." Anuj disclosed his future plans.

" Some dreams remains dream only. "Akshay said with heavy heart." I wish you were here to see how good Mumbai warrior is doing ."Akshay looks nowhere.

"If you were here you must be so excited.

If you were here Avni and you must have bet a pizza on winning of your team.

If you were you have called me enormous time to hurry up.

If you were here radio may have publicizing this match.

Today stadium will be full of fans but you will not be here to witness your dream become reality.

I know you are not here and never will be but I wish you were here " tears flowed from his eyes after five years.

" You are crying. "he heard and looked towards the direction of voice. Tiny figure is standing in the door frame. He tried to compose himself but she came and hugged him.

" Its okay, everything will be alright. "she said and wiped his tears. He looked towards his daughter who is concerned for him. He felt ashamed of himself for treating this angel so badly all this years. She is innocent still punished because of him

He used very cruel and very mean words for her in the court. He acts worse than his dad.

"Papa, I topped in my class." little Akshay exclaimed

"So what?" his father refused to acknowledge his achievements and push him hard on the floor. "Uma take this annoying son of yours from here." he shouts and his mother carry him away.

"Tsk, tsk after all the hard work you only topped our district." he said to Akshay when he is distributing sweets after his 8th board's result. Akshay's smile dropped and he locked himself in room. Akshay didn't know why his father hated his happiness. Everyday he make sure to instill misery in Akshay's life either verbally or..

Akshay jerked the depressive thoughts and concentrate on his daughter. His childhood is ruined because of one abuser but he can't repeat history. He sat on his knees

"Princess, I don't know how to say but. I am really sorry. I hurt you without your fault. I hurt you in worst possible manner. I said you shouldn't exist but today I regret my words. Whatever happened you have nothing to do with it. You deserve all love and care of me but I was never present to protect you, love you and cate for you. I am sorry for everything. "Akshay's voice choked and Akshita hugged him. Akshay resolved to protect his angel with his life.

" I may be worst son, worst grandson, worst brother, worst son in law or worst husband but I'll try to become best father to my kid. "he mumbled and hugged Akshita tightly. He dropped Akshita to her room.

" Where is your Ma'am?" Akshay asked to the maid.

"She is in the garden." she replied.

Akshay went towards garden and she was sitting under the tree, looking nothing in particular. She is lifeless and her appearance is dull. He looked towards her hair and that not even combed. The Smita he knew never went outside with messy hair.She is no longer the carefree bubbly girl and he is not the guy next door anymore . Life changed them so much that not even their reflection can be identified.

"we are villain in each other's story so lets end this story ." Akshay uttered. He never thought their relationship became toxic one day that they can't stand each other. Earlier love is not there but everything was beautiful. Today nothing is left between them. He became rapist in his rage and jealousy. And why he is jealous? Just because she was comfortable with that guy. Is he have a right to be jealous? Is he have right to own her? He can't say "You are mine" when there is nothing of that sort. She belongs to herself not him and tomorrow he will make everything alright for once and all.
