I felt that there was heavy weight on my eyes. I tried to open them in one go but I failed. With very much force, I opened them but it fluttered slowly.

As I opened them, I realised I was not on a hard surface anymore. I was on something which felt soft to my body.

Light peeked to my eyes and they fluttered. The blurry vision made me realise that I was at home, not in that basement.

I turned my head to see Bhai sitting there with my hand in his and I called him,

“Bha Bhai” came out as a whisper and he snapped his head in my direction.

“Aashu. Bache. Are you okay?” He shot questions at me and I gulped.
