And with Sakshi, he was making a coffee for herself, little absent minded, when she opened the fridge and saw his dad's old Bourbon, which has been therefor probably for ages unopened. She put it close to her nose, and smelled it, it was hard.
She whistled, and tried to open it, but couldn't, so she brought it to his father who was sitting at the table looking at some data. When she handed him the bottle, she opened it directly, and said in a casual tone.
" What do you want?" And seeing this, she was a little confused.
" What,,, what do you mean?" And he didn't look at him.
" You have never touched alcohol before, and this old one has been there for 723 days, and you have tried to open it, 17 times without any results, and today was eighteen times, and you didn't put any pressure, and your acting skill is not good." And she nodded, and sat down in front of him.
" It is really difficult to understand, you smart people." And he didn't reply.
" What happened to Krishna, I wanted to know. What did you say to him?" And his reply was.
" I said something that I shouldn't have, I was testing him. And he passed."
" Test? Dad, you are not a good person yourself. How can you judge him. " And seeing this he asked.
" Who is more dangerous, a man with a gun, or a child with a gun?" And she looked perplexed.
" What did this have to do with.."
" Just answer." He stopped her midway.
" Well, a kid with a gun." And he nodded.
" A kid doesn't understand what a gun is, and what it's made for. So I was testing him, to see what his response would be if I told him I have a gun that can possibly kill him. Even though it was a double edged sword. I have no idea how far he has developed, and what he really thinks of this world." And after hearing this, she looked at him with disappointment.
" Dad, are you sure you are the smartest man alive?" She asked and he didn't answer, just looked at him with little confusion.
" Dad, he is your son. And you are his father. It doesn't matter if he is the devil incarnate or God itself, he is your son first. And it is the same for him, you are his father." And Rohit just looked at her.
" You know why I agreed to all this your bullshit plan, instead of running there telling him everything about you and bringing him back like my heart said?"
" Cause you are my father, my dad, and that's it. It doesn't matter to me how dark, evil or mad you are. You will always be my father, I don't hope that I can change you or make you better, cause this is nonsense. A mind smart as you, doesn't need a girl of eighteen to teach things. I always believed you were right, even when you sometimes forgot to bring me a gift, even though you possibly couldn't. Times when you drink and think I didn't notice, times when you feel sad because you miss Krishna's mother, times when you feel lonely. Lonely because no one could understand you, the things you go through, no one understands." And she looked at him.
"Dad!" And she grabbed his hand.
" He is your son, and that's enough. I never cared about any of your shortcomings, neither would he."
" Dad, you have to believe, just like I do. He is your son, and that's enough." And he looked at her with moist eyes, and asked.
" Even if he destroys the world." And she just pointed at his heart.
" My world is here, and hear." And he pointed at the house, and smiled, her eyes also moist.
" Isn't this enough! And I don't believe he could destroy the world."
