Manu didi ne mujhe gusse mein bahut hi zor se thappad maara, aur main ek-dum se sunn reh gaya. Didi thappad maar kar bahut tez rone lagi. Wo apne muh pe hath rakh ke roye jaa rahi thi, taaki mummy-papa ko roone ki awaaz naa sun jaye.

Mujhe meri galti ka ehsaas jaldi hi ho gaya, par didi se kis muh se maafi maangta. To main chup-chaap doosri taraf muh karke let gaya. Didi bhi bina kuch bole let gayi. Raat ke 2 baj chuke the. Naa mujhe neend aa rahi thi, na hi didi ko. Hum dono jaante the ki hum dono jaag rahe the.
