"Thank you uncle " Rhythm said

Sean gave him a small money envelope

"Uncle i don't want this .. " Rhythm said

"This is the prize son... We forgot to announce this... Since you're the winner it's yours" Sean said

Rhythm was hesitating but Sean gave it to him ... He hugged Rhythm and Rhythm showed August his trophy proudly

"Let's dance" August said

"I don't know to dance " Rhythm said shyly

"I'll help you" August said

"I'm really shy... I don't think I'll be able to dance "

"Come-on Baby let's dance " win said as he pulled Rhythm on the dance floor

August and Eddy followed him and they dance... At first Rhythm was standing there quietly but then he danced too..

Eddy and win pushed August and Rhythm to a corner

"Hey what are you doing?" Rhythm said

But then he faced August and blushed

"Do you want to dance with me ?" August asked as he extended his hand

Rhythm nodded and gave his hand to August...

"Keep your hand on my shoulder... If you feel uncomfortable you can tell me "

August said slowly... Rhythm nodes and August put his hand on Rhythm's waist ... And pulled him towards himself... At first Rhythm wasn't able to cope up with steps...but when he saw August smiling he forgot everything and danced with him

Win and Eddy took pictures of them ...

"They look so perfect together" win commented

"They're perfect match , isn't they ? Eddy asked

"Yeah... Like you're a perfect match for me " win commented

He kissed on Eddy's cheeks and ran away....

"Did he just kiss me ?" Eddy touched his own cheek and ran after win trying to catch him

" Hey... Stop... Stop "

Eddy ran after win but win was faster... They ran until Win reached the last corridor

"Finally I caught you " Eddy said smirking

"Let me go " win whined

"You deserve a punishment for being naughty " he commented

"But I'm a little boy " Win said innocently

"Little boys are the naughtiest - " Eddy stopped talking

"Did you hear something?" He asked

"Hear ?"

Win turned around and Peeped through the balcony...

"Eddy... Ron ....Ron is breaking Rhythm's guitar " he shouted

"What? "

Eddy got scared too and he looked

Ron was hitting the guitar on the ground and it was already broken...

"Ron stopped " he shouted

Ron heard them and smirked ... He too a bottle of kerosene

"He has gone insane " win shouted

"Let's stop him " Eddy said

Win and Eddy started running... Just then Rhythm and August walked towards them

"Hey... we were looking for you " August said

Win and Eddy looked at each other frightened...

"I brought pan cakes for you " Rhythm said excitedly

But then he looked at Ron pouring kerosene on his broken guitar

"Ron !!!! " He shouted

August was startled too.... Ron smirked at him and Took a lighter... Rhythm ran to the stairs following everyone.... As he reached the ground... Ron threw lighter on his guitar.... Rhythm ran near it but August stopped him

"Don't... Don't go .... You'll get hurt " August said

Ron was laughing at his misery and both Eddy and win were sad to see Rhythm struggling

"Let me go ... He's destroying my guitar... My father's last memory... " He shouted

Ron stopped laughing and exclaimed” last memory "

"Yes you bastard... It was his father's last memory... You took it from him " Eddy cursed

"Father.... Father " Rhythm shouted

August hold him tightly and pulled him into a tight hug... Rhythm was struggling and shouted but he hugged him tightly..... Rhythm was crying like crazy and he didn't know when he fainted

Rhythm blinked his eyes ....

"August he came to his senses" Eddy said

"Rhythm?" , "Rhythm... Please get up " August cried

Rhythm slowly opened his eyes .... He looked at August, Eddy and win....Smith too was looking at him with a worried expression... Rhythm looked around and he found out that he was in their college hospital... August helped him in sitting and Eddy gave him a glass of water

"Do you feel any weakness? " Win asked

Rhythm shook his head ...

"It's because of stress you fainted " Smith said

" I want to go home " he said

"August drop him at home " Smith said

August and Eddy looked at each other and August replied "let's go "

Rhythm got down from the bed and August hold his hand ... Rhythm followed him ..but as they walked outside they saw Ron and Sean and all other officials

"I'm sorry Mr Sean... But the thing that Ron did we're sorry but we've to detained him "

Rhythm looked at Ron who was hanging his head down...

"Mr Sean... What he did is a crime and we don't tolerate such acts in this college" Dean declared

"He thinks that his father is the trustee so he can treat people as his toy " one of the teacher commented

"Yes please detain him " Sean said " even i don't think there's any use of his continuing here... He's a threat to the kids .. even I'm ashamed to call him my son "

Rhythm heard all of this and came forward

"Rhythm " August said

"I don't want to make any complain against him " he cleared "what he did is our personal business and I don't want him to get punished for it for his life long... "

"But he did wrong with you ...why are you defending him ? " Smith asked

" I'm not defending him sir.... I don't want his career to be destroyed for this.. because if it would be he would blame me forever and hate me more "

Ron shook his head hearing this .. Rhtyhm continued

" Even if he doesn't I would always consider myself as the one who destroyed his future"

"Son... You're very good and kind... Thank you for this ... I'll buy a new guitar for you as compensation "

"No need uncle... But tell him to stay away from me forever "

Rhythm said before walking away... August opened his car door and Rhythm sat inside

"Take care of him " win said

August nodded and fastened their seat belts.... As he started driving... Rhythm leaned on the window and closed his eyes... He looked at Rhythm but didn't say anything... He drove him until Rhythm straighten himself and sat straight

"Do you want water ?" August asked

Rhythm shook his head

"Want to eat something?"

"No "

August stopped his car in an empty lane....

"If you want to say something or if you want to c..ry.... Shout anything please do it "

“I don't feel like crying" Rhythm said

"Please don't be like this.... You can cry if you want"

August kept his hand on Rhythm's Shoulder

"I found it in our attic when I was 16...i asked uncle about it and he told me it belong to my father... He wanted to threw it away but i cried and told him I would fix it ... "

"I was clutching on to my past... I knew he abandoned me and left me... But still I was in hope that he'll return and take me back "

August put his hand on Rhythm's and squeezed it ... Rhythm's smiled at him

"Maybe it was good to let it go " Rhythm spoke ,"he'll never return... I must not wait for him ... From now on I'll cherish the people I have "

Rhythm said showing  his dimples and August caressed his hair ...He started driving but Rhythm stopped him .... He opened his seat belt and got  out of the car.... August too opened his seat belt and got out of the car... he followed him...

Rhythm looked shyly at August and asked "can you please hug me ...?"

August didn't knew when he pulled Rhythm Towards him and hugged the little figure before him... Rhythm melted in his arms like a jelly ..and August supported his body... He could hear low whimpers of Rhythm and p

Caress his hair

"You have me Rhythm and I promise I'll never let you go " He said

"Please don't leave me August... I'm scared to be alone... " Rhythm cried

" Only death can pull us apart" August thought...

“I'm always with you my cub " August spoke

Slap

Slap

"I'm ashamed to have a worthless son like you " Sean said as he pushed Ron

"You have taken birth only to embarassed me... You're useless like your mother " he spit venom

But Ron's mind was occupied with Rhythm... Sean cursed him and left ... He went to his room and sat on the bed... He looked at a drawing made by Rhythm for him when they were in school... He still kept it ... Maybe he forgot about it but it still lingered their memories as kids
