"What?"

"Yup, I'm gay, " I told my parents and they didn't accept me. They don't want a son like me. My elder brother helped me to run away from my house".

Kabir was shocked and sad that Vyom's parents did not accept them.

"You should have not run," Kabir advised him.

"Why?They did not want me to stay with them. They think I will hamper the siblings of mine",vyom siad.

"My mom took three months to completely understand me, your parents will also understand you".

"I fought with them for one year and at last my elder brother who is the only one who supports me, he advised me to shift abroad and for some months he will financially support me and till then i will get stable here".

"You may join my dance studio",Kabir proposed.

"No, no I'm not a dance person",Vyom hesitated oa accept the proposal.

"I earn 250 dollars for teaching students and so you can"

"No i can't , i will join some cafe or something"

"Ok",Kabir went from there. He went to his room and got a message from Nick on his phone.

Nick: hey! Wanna go out tomorrow?

Kabir: I will tell you later good night.

Then kabir took out a tape recorder, inserted a pendrive and saw some videos of sushant and him spending time together.

"I miss you sushant",Kabir siad with teary eyes.
