Hello everyone!!!!! ❤️

Happy Reading!

Malhotra Mansion..

Lunch time ..

Everyone assembled in the dining area. Mahir's eyes searched for vihan but he was no where to be seen. His eyes carrying worry.

"Vihu is sleeping bhabhi.. I'll bring him.."

Arush's words caught his attention as he saw him rising up from his chair

"Baitho aru..mai jaata hu"

Mahir abruptly walked away, lost in thought. He couldn't shake off the feeling that he had overreacted in his argument with Vihan. His conscience was nagging him, wondering if he had been too harsh. He realized he could have handled the situation more calmly and wished he had done so, sparing himself the current guilt and regret.

As soon as he entered, he saw vihan sleeping. Covering the distance to the bed, he sat beside him, his hands caressing vihu's cheek and an instant wave of guilt washed over him as his finge prints are clearly visible over there. His eyes welled up with tears at the sight.

"I'm sorry bachha.."

He whispered, his words heavy with regret as he leaned forward and kissed his forehead. Vihan stirred, slowly opening his eyes.

"Bhaiyaa.."

Vihan's eyes watered up as soon as he saw mahir. Without wasting a moment, he threw his hands around his neck, his face leaned on his shoulder as he cried with non stop apologies escaping his mouth.

"Shh..Bas vihu ro mat"

"Aur bhi maar lo bhaiya par baat karo mujhse plss."

"Kar rha hu na bacchaa..tumse nai karunga toh kisse baat karunga mai? Ab bas bhi kar vihu..kab se roye ja rha hai bachha"

He wiped his tears as vihan sniffed.

"Chalo sab neeche wait kar rhe honge..lunch ke baad baat karte hai ..wash your face and come down"

Mahir stood up not before placing a soft kiss on his temple. Vihan nodded and left to fresh up and mahir moved downstairs.

After lunch

Once the lunch was over, the family got engaged themselves in their respective works and chatting, leaving the Elder and younger Malhotra men to sort out themselves.

Mahir was certain that he's gonna spend his upcoming few nights at the couch as soon as he caught the glimpse of his wife throwing daggers at him with her looks once she saw the upset look on vihan and his finger prints on his cheeks told her tales.

He did not even wish to imagine the other saviours reactions, yet they were also aware of what vihan had done. No way his family would encourage such thing.

But that doesn't stop them from pouncing on him for raising his hand against the most pampered kid of the house, even arush loves to pamper him like an older brother, though they had just only few days difference between their age gap.

He was surely glad that the elders of the family were off to Kolkata. Well, he did not even want to think about their reactions at the moment. Coming to kabir, he was silent and vihan knew that his buddy was upset with him. It's rare that he gets on the receiving end of kabir.

But,

Kabir's silence was new! The man would either make it sting hard with his hands or drive the point home with his choice of words and looks.

Though he enquired about his health, it was all so formal. It was that moment, Vihan realised his buddy was beyond upset with hin.He knew very well, the stunt he pulled was no small thing. His whole family was so overprotective of him. By pulling this stunt, he had only made the fear inside them linger around, again!

He knew their concern behind their anger and hurt. He would not do anything that makes his family sad. He could not take their love and care as an advantage and play with their emotions. The realisation dawn upon him as he could understand the hurt and fear behind the words he had heard from his siblings, especially his bhaiya.

He would do everything to sort it all and will try his best to erase that constant fear inside them. And for that he determined himself not to give them any more heart attacks.

Also he was certain about his punishments. His brother was a Hitler for a reason. Though he let him off, many times. Few things are off list and a huge 'NO' for him and no way in the world he could be let off the hook this time. And the thought of that saddened vihan. He could not stay away from his cars for any longer time and somewhere he very well know.. exactly that's what is gonna happen with him, this time. And he can also forget about his bike as he doubted will his brother allow him to drive that again after the reckless driving he had done. Ofcourse the security must have updated him about what happened that night from A to Z.

Though he felt sad about his punishments, he do understand the gravity of the situation he had created. And that did not make anything better but put him into the guilt for scaring his family. The sad feeling of his thoughts about his consequences felt less as the weight of his actions hung heavy on his shoulders.

His chain of thoughts broke when he heard his name being called out.

As he looked at the direction,he saw mahir placing a glass before him. It's a chocolate shake. Vihan's eyes widened. Most probably, he's seeing this one after a whole two to three weeks. Due to his medication, he was strictly ordered not to have chocolates.

"Ye mere liye hai?" Vihan asked, innocently pointing his index finger at the glass infront of him.

"Nai mere liye" Vihan pouted angrily and mahir rolled his eyes.

"Mujhe nai chahiye..mai gussa hu aapse..itna maara aapne mujhe"

The first three words he said was against his own wish as he sooo wanted to have the shake at that very moment. While the next four words turned out to be a cute words of a baby brother who wants to enjoy his big brother's grovelling. And the last four words that left his mouth came in a different voice, the sad one. And mahir gulped the lump in his throat.

"I'm so sorry bachha. Itna harshly behave nai karna tha mujhe. I don't why but tumne jo kiya na that scared me so much that I really lost my control"

Mahir sat beside him and gently caressed his cheek, while tears brimming in his eyes.

Vihan's lips pursed into a small pout. He do understand the reason behind his Bhaiya's reaction even though it felt foreign as it was very very rare for mahir to lose his cool.

The hurt that he saw in his bhaiya's eyes stuck more hard than the ones he received from his hands.

"You don't have to be sorry bhaiya. I completely understand your reaction I know mujhe aise nai karna tha..i did not realise my fun would cost this much scare to you all. I just wanted to have fun aur ye jo kuch bhi hua ye mere plan me nai tha.I'm so sorry..pls mujhse aur gussa na ho jao ap plss..I won't repeat this. I promise you bhaiya"

Vihan wrapped his hands around Mahir's waist as he leaned on his chest, his head resting on his chest.
His words came out directly from his heart as the realisation hit him so hardly. He couldn't shake off the feeling of scaring them and that alone had set a strong determination inside him to not repeat putting his life at stake and scare his family, again.

Mahir caressed his head a surprised smile playing on his lips as vihan's confession took him by surprise. He did not expected this to happen as he prepared himself to give him another lecture.

"Gussa nai ho na ap?"

As he cutely looked up from his chest, mahir smiled

"Nai hu.. I'm glad you understood the reason why we were angry. Mujhe bas yahi kafi hai vihu..and now I know you won't repeat this..right!?

Mahir asked, as he placed a soft kiss on his cheek.

"I won't bhaiyaa! Sachiii!" Vihu hugged him tightly and mahir rubbed his back, a soft smile playing on his lips. While vihu grinned happily.

"Don't scare me like that again bacha..i really mean it when I say this...jaan hai tu meri.." Vihan hugged him more tightly assuring him he won't repeat.

And that's how the guilt, sadness, hurt and all emotions related to these flew out of the window as happiness, peacefulness surrounded the atmosphere as the love between the brothers remained constant always and forever!!

After few minutes, vihan was found sitting on Mahir's lap sipping on his chocolate shake like a kid he was.

While mahir shook his head at him in disbelief. He and his chocolate will always remain as a never ending love story.

"Jaldi kar vihu...we still have something important to talk"

And that was enough for vihan to minimize the speed than already he was doing. He would do anything to escape the consequences as now he is back to his brat mode.

"And that won't happen bachha. You obey or not either way you are getting punished for the stunt you pulled. So it's your choice. Jaldi finish kar aur mere saamne baith"

Mahir's voice was firm when he spoke. Vihan gulped the shake, hardly as his words made him pale.

"Can we plss skip that bhaiya..mai toh samjh gya na ab" Vihan put on his most innocent face but will it work?

"No!" A straight and strong refusal escaped mahir's mouth.

"Bhaiyaaaaaaa"

"Vihan"

That worked for few mins as vihan brought his focus back to his shake.

After 10 mins..

"Bhaiyaa plss. Sach me ab se nai karungaa"

Vihan cried for the umpteenth time. His whining echoing throughout the room. And all this is because of mahir's five words,"You Car and Bike keys!"

"Don't make me repeat vihan. Either you give it by yourself or I'll get it by myself and trust me that will only increase the time period than it's already"

Vihan sulked but did not agree.

"I'll hideee ittttt" Every sentence he spoke came out as a cry.

Mahir folded his hands,
"Surely you will regret doing that."

"Kyu kar rhe ho ap aise"

"Because you deserve it. KEYS NOW VIHAN"

Mahir did not raise his voice but his darkened eyes spoke volumes.

Vihan reluctantly moved to get his keys. His eyes brimmed with tears as he placed them on Mahir's hands.

"2 months!"

That was enough to break the dam.
Mahir pulled him in his embrace.

"Shh..you very well know I won't let such things go so easily..toh fir rona kyu?"

"Par 2 months is soo long bhaiyaa"

"So was the stunt you pulled bachha"

"I won't repeat bhaiya"

"Ofcourse you won't after this bachha"

"Stop teasing me bhaiyaa"

Mahir laughed, he was just giving him back to back replies.

"I did not bachaa. Now stop sulking vihu..tere Saviours ke saath bhi toh karna hai tujhe" Mahir rolled his eyes at the thought of that.

"Ap bahuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut bure ho"
He pulled back and sat on the couch with a cute angry face.

Mahir rubbed his temple, preparing himself for another round of whining to handle

"Vihu"

"Jaoo ap"

"Baat sun bachha"

"Naiiiii"

"Plss beta bhaiya ka acha bacha hai na tu"

Mahir slowly sat beside him and hugged him from back. Vihu did not try anything but leaned on his embrace.

"Do you think i have overreacted?"

Vihu shook his head in no.

"Do you think i enjoy doing this to you?"

Vihu shook his head in no.

"Do you think I'm punishing you without a reason?"

Vihu shook his head in no.

"Do you think i do love you?"

Vihu shook his head in no but his eyes widened the next second

"Bhaiyaaa" mahir chuckled loudly as he twisted the words intentionally to get these type of reactions from him.

"Mereko baat nai karni aapse u don't love me..." Vihu huffed.

"I love u bachha I love you soo much"
Mahir kissed his forehead a couple of times.

"Toh punishment period kam kar do na plss" his puppy eyes shining with excitement.

Mahir chuckled while shaking his head in no.

"No tricks is gonna work vihu. So stop trying.."

"Isiliye toh ap Hitler hoo...the big one"
Vihan cried dramatically and mahir chuckled.

The next day..

Malhotra enterprises..

Mahir was in his cabin attending an online meeting.That's when someone entered inside his cabin despite being warned by his pa.

As soon as door creaked open, mahir was disturbed by the room full of commotion as someone entered inside.

His eyes shifted to the person, excusing himself a minute from the clients.

"Sid"

Sid grinned at him with a mock salute. Mahir dispersed the others who were hell worried for the boy to barge in into the Cabin like that.

Mahir asked him to sit quietly with his gestures as he had to get back to the meeting..but sid was in no mood to give in. Mahir shifted back to the meeting.

"Par mujhe aapse baat karna hai"
The sulking did not go unnoticed by maahir. He was glad he did not shout.

He glared at him harder. But did not reply. Sid raised his eyebrows. Ohh!

"Bhaiiiiiiiiiii..mujhee....aapseeeee....
baaaaaat...karnaaaaa...haiiiiii"

The last straw of his patience snapped as sid yelled on top of his lungs.

He apologized for the commotion caused and requested the clients to reschedule the meeting for tomorrow and they agreed.

Sid who was grinning in victory, paled as soon as mahir disconnected the call. Now it's a whole different face of mahir than the previous calm one with his clients. And this was reserved only for his kid bros.

Brat bros.. - Author's pov!

"Care to explain..what was that!?"
Sid grinned sheepishly.

"I ASKED YOU SOMETHING SIDANT"
sid gulped.

"Mujhe aapse baat karna tha"
He mumbled innocently.

"Par mujhe nai karna hai tumse koi baat...U can leave"

Mahir said, coldly and returned back to his work. Sid put his head down.

"Leave Mr SIDANT ROY!"

"I'm sorry bhaii"

"I said leave, mujhe tumari koi sorry nai chahiye "

"Bhaii pls meri baat suniye na.."

"Kyu sunu mai teri baat? Tumne suna meri baat? Nai na..then leave"

Mahir was annoyed. Even that wouldn't describe his state now. He had never seen sid any less to vihan. Sid was also a younger brother to him. He had treated him like one always. That's why he had not agreed when sid asked him to shift from the mansion. He would not let him stay on his own, when he's there for him.

That's why when sid came up to him with the topic of leaving india for six months, he could not agree. Though he couldn't drag that as sid was so stubborn and eager to go for the training of army as he was interested. He had to agree, with or without his will as at the end of the day, all that matters to him was his kids happiness.

One week before, it was his return day. But sid had postponed it. Last one week the calls from sid was very less. He had not get a chance to ask him whether he had ate or not. The boy annoyed him to a very large extent.
He felt worried for his health. Sid wouldn't care about his health when it comes to work. That's the one habit that mahir doesn't like about. He tried multiple times to change it. But some habits die hard, so was his.

Now he was annoyed that this boy had not even cared to inform him about his arrival. He would have picked him up. But why would he do that. Idiot! He must have known how much his bhai would have missed him.

"Arre practice tha yaar..ouch..bhai maar kyu rhe ho"

"I don't want any explanation SIDANT just leave"

Mahir closed his eyes to control himself. He would just not stop his hand. For worrying him like that, the boy should atleast get a two to three whacks from him.

"Bhaii plss..aise toh mat bolo na.."

"Bahar jao..aise bolu?"

He asked, frustration evident on his tone.

"Bhaiii"

"Sid..aaram se bol rha hu just leave. Do not make me lose my patience."

"Arre par kyu gussa ho ap? Maine kya Kiya?"

Sid asked thought having a hunch of the reason behind his anger.

"You are asking me sid? Seriously..ek hafte se dekh rha hu na ek call tha na ek msg ...itna kya busy tha tu ..jo ek baar call kar nai paya.."

Sid gulped. Well, he was prepared for this. But what he was scared more was about the stunt he pulled at Delhi. He so hoped the black suit men who followed him behind did not inform him. Or he would be sooooo deadddd!!

"Kuch pucha maine sid"

"Wo kaam-"

"Can't you give us a 2 mins SIDANT. Ek msg nai kar sakta tu. Aise toh mujhe bhi bahut zyada kaam hai haven't I made sure to invest my time on you guys. I have always told you sid. Family should be prioritised first. I did not even get to know about your well being despite of knowing about your careless attitude."

As mahir finished his sentence, his phone popped up with a message from the security team he had hired for Sid's safety. And that told him about an unknown story.

Sid was a bold man. He would even dare to stand infront of a gun. He is that much daring.

But.

He would not stand Infront of an angry lion like Mahir Malhotra. He is Not that much daring.

The change that appeared on Mahir's facial features as soon as he saw his phone made sid gulp. His soul praying it should not be that.

"SIDDANT ROY!"

"sorryyy bhaiiii" sid ran for his life.

Mahir's nose emitted fumes as the boy dared to run out of his cabin. He would not leave him today. His presence alone was enough to scare anyone coming his way.

He took his intercom and threw an order to his Pa to bring the brat into his cabin within two minutes. Mahir did not have to think where he would have went. Obviously Kabir's cabin.
He sat down.

Waiting for his prey to emerge before he gets more hungry- I mean angry!

At Kabir's cabin..

Kabir was going through the files. That's when sid barged in, taking deep breaths. Obviously, he just got an escape from a lion's den.

"Sid?!!" Kabir stood up, surprised.

"Bhaii plss bachao yar...apke bestie mereko maar dalenge aaj ..pls bacha lo" Kabir blankly stared at him before glaring at him.

"Uska toh pata nai tu mujhse zarur pitega...Ek hafte me ek baar bhi yaad nai aaya humse baat karne ka.."

Sid threw himself at him and apologized continuously.

"I'm sorry... sorry.. sorry..plss ap bhi gussa mat karo.."

Kabir shook his head in disbelief. As he pulled back, mahir's pa knocked his door.

"Sir..sir..wo mahir sir had called you to his cabin"

Sid yelled, "Nooooooo"

"Sid yaar stop shouting.." kabir whacked him lightly as he looked at the pa who's sweating. His boss's order was to drag him there, but he did not dare to do that.

"I'll get him there, you can leave" and he left, gladly. Bechara!

"What happened sid?" Kabir asked.
Sid narrated the long story into short one.

"How dare You sid!!" Sid hissed as he was awarded with a smack.

"Chup chap jaa uske cabin pe..you deserve whatever he dishes out!"

Sid hugged him when he turned.

"Bhaii plss chalo na ap... plsss he's soooooooooooo angryyy plsss bhaii mujhe akele nai Jana hai..."

"Mujhe ek baat samjh he nai aati yar..tum log ko agar usse itna dar lagta hai toh karte kyu ho aise stupidities.." kabir asked, genuinely unknown to the reason.

"Maza aata hai kya" kabir added, as he felt that was the right reason.

"Apko wohi lagta hai toh, wohe sahi"
Sid mumbled slowly to get awarded with another smack.

"Tujhe maza aata hai ye sab karte hue ..ab toh mai bilkul nai aa rha ...jaa akele he" kabir was annoyed.

"Bhaii pls aise mat bolo ap bologe toh Hitler kuch nai karenge-"

"Tere Bhai ke kuch bhi kehne se ya karne se aaj tu Bach jayega ye sochna bhi mat sidhant." Mahir said, entering inside. Now he actually lost the last ounce of his patience.

Sid gulped on the look that was fixed on his face. He so wanted to run away from there. But knowing that would put him into another world full of trouble, he did not wish to test him.

"Come here"

Kabir silently got back to his seat. While sid looked at him with betrayal in his eyes.

"Come here SIDANT, I'm not going to repeat"

Mahir's tone told him the height of his anger. But his unruly did not realise that before the words escaped out of it.

"Then pls don't repeat bhai"

Kabir's eyes widened as soon as he heard that. Sid was the actual brat. And mahir was the only one who can handle him well. The thing he's still being the same old sid filled him with happiness and at the same time made him shook his head in disbelief as he'll definitely have it from mahir.

"Ahhh...bhaiiii plsss ouch..oww chodoo plss"

It did not take mahir a minute to grab his ear before twisting it hardly.

"Do you really think you are in the position to give me those come backs!? Now?!" Mahir did not relent and Sid's eyes started brimming with tears.

"Bhaii plss..lag rhi hai" his voice cracked as mahir applied more pressure. Well, he was called Hitler for a reason. Hitlerrrr -author's pov!

"Lagni bhi chahiye beta...aur bhi lagegi jab mai ruler leke pitayi karunga na Teri..tab" mahir left his hold as he glared at him. Kabir rolled his eyes at his best friend's fake threats.

But The thought alone gave shivers to sid.

"You-are.. kidding me right..?!!"

"Do you think I'm?"

"I'm sorryyyyyyyy bhaii"
Sid cried out dramatically.

"What was the need to exhaust yourself into work that you almost fainted you idiot!" Mahir roared.

"Bina chilaye baat karna yaar mai yaha kaam kar rha hu dikhai nai de rha hai tuje" kabir gave him a look while mahir knew what he's trying to do. Sid just stood with head down.

"Maine kuch pucha tumse sid"

"I didn't thought ye sab-"

That was the same thing vihu said. Mahir sighed. He's not blaming them for what happened. But they are now grown up into a muscular man. They should atleast know how to take care of their health.And that too only when they are out of his sight. But he cannot expect that from his dear bros.

"How are you feeling now?" That was a simple question out from care and concern.
But..

Sid stayed silent as his unruly mouth was all willing to get him into trouble today.

"Speak up SIDANT"

Mahir's nostrils flared as he waited for him to answer.

"Jawab de sid.." kabir moved to him, dropping his hand on his shoulder.

"Thik hu Bhai" He fought with his mouth to get a lie out.

"Aaaaahhhhhhhhh" Sid yelled in pain as mahir whacked him hard. Kabir gave him a "are you serious?"look. Mahir knew them all well. The boy must have got some guts to lie to him.

"Bhaii.."

"Jhut bolna mat sid. You are already in enough trouble "

"Par thik hu mai sachi.. just a bit dizziness and tiredness bhaii" he hid himself behind kabir.

"Chal mere sath.." he dragged him out without giving a care to his protest while kabir sighed and went back to his work knowing that mahir will take care of him.

Outside .

"Bhaii"

"Keep quiet and sit sid"

Mahir closed his side of a car door with a bang. As he drove, sid laid his head back on the seat as he felt soo tired even to utter a single word now. He had skipped many meals in one week. He had exhausted himself in work without an hour break too. He had sleepless nights. The boy had also invested his time on gym despite being week. The list was so big that mahir had to control the urge to whack him multiple times with the lecture on how to take care of himself.
But the look on Sid's face stopped him, as concern took the first place pushing back his anger.

He drove to the hospital. As he needed to know whether he's ok or not.

City Hospital

"Sid..Sid utho..sidd..."

Mahir tried waking him up but the boy was sound asleep.

"Sid..utho bachaa.."

Sid stirred a bit. Mahir shook him gently and he was up in few minutes.

"Hum yaha kya kar rhe hai bhai?"
Sid asked, in shock.

"Chal andar..pata chalega.."
Mahir got out but he didn't.

As mahir made his way towards his door and opened, sid made a pleading face.

"I told you I'm fine bhai"

"You are anything but fine bachha get down now."

"Bhaii plss"

"Sid behave yourself and get down"

He did not wish to drag him like a kid. And the thought graced him with the pleasant yet not so pleasant memory of their childhood.

"Bhaii nooo" Sid jumped to the driver seat as mahir was quick to grab his arm.

"Sid. Don't make me treat you like a kid"

Sid sulked. Neither he wished to get treated like one, at this situation. In other scenarios, he would not mind as he loves to get pampered like a kid from his dear big brother.

"Bhaii plss sach me thik hu Bhai medicine aur khana ache se khaunga toh thik ho jaunga Mai plss"

"Don't you think it was tooo early for you to realise this?"

"Acha ab ho gya na realise ghar le jao mujhe plss...wese bhi mujhe sab se milna hai..ye kya hospital leke aaye ho"

"Get. Down. Sid"

"No. Means. No. Bhai"

Mahir narrowed his eyes at him.
Oh really!

"We'll see that"

Mahir leaned inside and swiftly pulled him out by holding his forearm in a tight grip.

"Bhaii...bhaii chodoo plss bhaii"

Mahir gave him a look,

"Bilkul awaaz nai aana chahiye mujhe sid. Just come quietly"

"Mai bhabhi se complaint karunga apka" he muttered under his breath as mahir dragged him inside.Mahir rolled his eyes at his words.

•Flashback•

"Naiiiiiiiiiii.....maiii naiiii aaungaaaa"

The yell echoed throughout the room. Mahir and Kabir had to close their ears to avoid any damage to their ear drums. Their 11 year old boy has some high pitched voice.

"Bachha tabiyat bahut kharab hai apki... hospital jaana toh padega na" kabir slowly took a step forward, but sid started to jump on the bed yelling again

Mahir shook his head at kabir. Did he really thought the boy would give in that easily.

"Sidd bachhaa-" kabir, the ever soft one tried again.

"Noooooooooooo"

Kabir closed his ears against his shout.

"Enough Sid!"

Sid made his way towards kabir and wrapped his arms around his neck as he heard mahir's stern tone. But the cute glare fixed on his face made them all melt in seconds.

Mahir was about to say something but that's when sid started to cough violently. Kabir rubbed his back while mahir got him water.

"Aram se bachha..." Mahir rubbed his back and made him drink.

"Sid pls bachha.. chillana band kar aur -"

"Mujhe hospital nai jaanaaaaa"
Mahir knew this won't work. If he keeps on shouting, his cough will get more violent. The boy really needs to calm down.

Mahir pulled him to his side and made him look at his eyes.

"Raise your voice again and trust me you won't like my reaction to it."

Sid's eyes widened with tears forming inside it.

"Bhaii" he called for kabir but mahir turned him towards him by holding his chin.

"Hum hospital Jaa rhe hai and that's final SIDANT. Nakhre dikhae se kuch nai hoga so stop it"

Sid cried and pushed mahir with his hands. Mahir did not got affected by his tantrums and picked him up.

"Chodooo mujhee" he wiggled in his grip.

"Sid kuch nai hoga bachha...kyu zid kar rhe ho?" Kabir asked, ruffling his hair.

He did not reply and hid his face in mahir's neck. Kabir did not took his side and he's gushhaa!

"I'll take care of him. Tu vihu ko dekh. I'll try to come soon" Mahir put pressure on the word 'try' as he did not expect sid to behave.

At hospital..

"Mujhe nai aana"

Sid stood rooted on his place. Mahir tried to pick him up but sid was quick to move his legs to run but his attempts came to an halt as mahir held his forearm tightly.

"Bhagna nai sid. Maarunga mai"
Mahir warned.

"Bhaii plsss naiii" he tried his puppy eyes.

"Kuch nai hoga bachha. Mai hu na."

Mahir picked him up and moved inside

"Nooooooooo" as soon as they reached the doctor's cabin. He shrieked out.

"Sid!"

"It's ok, pls come inside "
The doctor called them in and mahir moved along with a crying sid.

Sid gave the doctor and mahir a very hard time during his check up. But the actual hard time is yet to happen.

Sid's eyes widened comically as soon as the doctor brought the injection.

"Nahiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"
He shrieked loudly and jumped from mahir's lap to run.

"Sid naii" Mahir stood up to run behind him as he really....ran out of the room.

"Am sorry doctor.. I'll bring -"

"It's ok I can understand.."

Mahir nodded and ran out after muttering a thnx to him.

Outside the hospital...

Sid sat on the bench, hiding his face with his hands, sobbing loudly. His coughs became heavier with his each sob. That's when a hand touched his shoulder and he looked up to see mahir forwarding him a Water bottle.

He sniffed and coughed,mahir rubbed his back, gently and gave him water.

"I won't come ap jao..." Sid said after few minutes.

"Are you ok now?" Mahir ignored his words and asked closing the water bottle.

"I'm fine" he said in a stubborn tone and sneezed a couple of times.

"Define fine now!"

Sid looked down without replying him.

"Look at me sid!"

The tone did not dared him to disobey as he looked up dropping his stubborn attitude.

"Kabse tabiyat kharab hai teri?"

"Apko nai pata?!"

"Sid. Drop ur attitude and answer "

"3 din se"

"Ye teen din me kitni baar tujhe rest lene ko kaha hai humne. Thik se medicine lene ko kaha hai ya khana khane ko...Did you listen to us? Ek baat mana tumne? Bataa"

Sid pouted

"Injection naii"

"Tabiyat ko thik karna hai ya nai apko?" Mahir pulled him in his embrace.

"Injection naii" Sid cried. His eyes pouring big big tears.

"Shh ..mere bache..ap strong sid ho na mere...ek choti si injection ke liye itna kon rota hai bachha ...shh stop crying.."

Mahir wiped his tears and pulled him in his lap

"Mai hu na apke saath..kuch nai hoga ok..daro mat kiddo ap mere haath ko pakad lo aur apko kuch pata bhi nai chalega..You trust me right bachaa?!"

Sid bobbed his head in yes.

"Love you mere bache chalo ab...relax ok" mahir picked him up and walked inside again.

And while the injection was inserted sid cried silently but held mahir firmly. Mahir rubbed his head lovingly and patted him.

Aashram

"Mujhe inse baat naii karna"
Sid glared at mahir and went kabir.

"Dekhte hai kiddo"
Mahir smirked

"You don't love meeeee"
Sid said angrily but it looked cute more.

"Ohh I love you soo muchhh"
Mahir chuckled when sid walked to the room, stomping his foot. Kabir followed him.

"Bhiyaa"

A cute little voice was heard and there came our little baby vihu, cutely rubbing his eyes as the nawab sahab's sleep just broke now.

"Aww...mere bache ki neend Tut gyi?!" Mahir picked him up and rubbed his nose with his.

"Good morning meri jaan"
Vihu giggled as mahir placed a kiss on his forehead.

"Gu'mowning"

And then he and mahir moved to have their breakfast and the day went smoothly after that. Sid was much better that night.

•End of flashback•

Present Day...

After some time..

Mahir dragged out a grumpy sid. While mahir was too tired. The boy threw a truck load of tantrums as he was supposed to get an injection, even today. And top of that the doctor had prescribed him big big tablets. Mahir had to control the urge to treat the grown up muscular man like a naughty five year old toddler, as he told himself, that he's grown up on his mind like a mantra.

"Do you realise that you are now 25 and not 5?"

Mahir asked as soon as they got inside the car and started it

"I won't talk with you"

"Well, I have a lot to talk with you, so you better drop the attitude when we have the TALK!"

"What??! Aur kya baat karna hai apko..acha galti hogyi maanta hu but I won't repeat bhaii...bas karoo ye Hitler giri plss"

"Maine toh abhi tak shuru bhi nai kiya!"

"Aise toh mai delhi he chale jaunga...abhi tak gale bhi nai lagaya aapne"

He mumbled sadly.

"Gale lagane wali kaam bhi nai kiya hai tumne. Maar khane wali harkat hai. You should be glad that I'm controlling myself "

"Ap maar lo bhai...but then you have to hug me"

"Saare idiots sirf mere he zindagi me"
Mahir mumbled.

"Sirf Ek he Hitler hai humari zindagi me wo hai ap"Sid poked his tongue out and mahir whacked him playfully as the car pulled into the mansion.

"Sab se milne ke baad sidha bed pe jaa aur so Jaa ..i better find you sleeping when I return home. Jaa"

Mahir leaned in and pressed a warm kiss on his forehead as he whispered,
"Love you bacha"

"I love you too Bhai" he hugged him and stepped out but stood there.

"Andar jaa na"

"Ap bhi aao na.."

"Bas toda sa kaam hai sid I'll be back soon.. ache se khana kha ke so jao tum tak tak mai aa jaunga ...now go"

Sid nodded and walked inside. While mahir drove back to the office.

Malhotra Mansion

As soon as sid entered the whole family pounced on him with questions and love and care. He patiently explained them all about what all happened earning himself an another round of scolding.

And that's when he got to know about vihan's stunt. Now he understood the reason behind mahir's reaction. Ofcourse his little brother had already gave him enough scare that he also added on to his list of worries. He, now felt really sorry for his actions. He wished he took care of himself saving himself the trouble.

Anu and akshara made sure he had a proper meal while the youngsters taunted him and acted strict. Akash felt pity for him while samaira remained silent.

Once the dinner was over, sid was forced to have his medicine as vihu and aru video called mahir without wasting a second after Sid's protest.

After that they did not leave him for a second, as they dragged him to his bed and ordered him to sleep. He felt annoyed. He did not get a chance to have a talk with her. And her silence did not sat well with him.

He was about to get down from the bed that's when she entered inside, stopping his movements.

"Airaa.."

"You are not supposed to get down from the bed Mr SIDDANT ROY.."

Her words made him roll his eyes.

"And you are not supposed to give me this silent treatment."

"Then what else am i supposed to do?!" Her hands crossed as she narrowed his eyes at him.

"A lot, i would love to specify it to you!" A naughty grin spread across his features as he blinked his eyes at her.

"I guess a strong punch to you would perfectly wipe off that grin on your face." She asked. He gulped

"Cool down girl. Aate wakt he sab gussa ho rhe hai mujhpe" she shook her head at his drama and walked forward to him.

"Toh aur kya karenge? Aarti utarenge teri?"

"No I'm not asking that much... atleast ek hug toh karna tha..." He pulled her on his lap without a warning and her eyes went wide

"Chodo sid...u need to take rest. Hum baad me baat karte hai...I just came to check on you" she wiggled on his grip but he did not leave her.

"Arre jhut toh mat boliye singhania angry bird..I know ap mere se Milne aayi ho"

"Naii"

"Han"

"Naii"

"Han"

"Naiiii"

"Ahm -ahmm"

Both the love birds were enjoying the han nai game while an ahm ahm entered their game. They looked up only to get their breaths stuck on their throats.

Aira jumped down from his lap and sid stood up. Both felt their cheeks burning with embarassment.

"May I know what's going on here?"
Abhimanyu's stern voice scared them more, especially aira.

"Bhaiiya"

"Sid" he called out sternly

"Romance kar rhe the Bhai aur kya karenge hum" he hissed as samaira stomped her foot on his.

"Sorry Bhai wo.." he apologized as he found abhi as a protective lion glaring at him.

"Abhi bas engagement Hui hai beta. You better be in limits. Warna aise maarunga na tujhe-"

"Bhaiyaa hum bas baat kar rhe the"
Samaira interrupted.

"Acha ji.."

"Han Bhai sach me baat kar rhe the"

"Then who told me that you guys were doing romance.." They stood like a naughty kids infront of the principal.

"From now on samaira you won't come into his room and sid you won't go to her room"

They paled.

And the next moment, the room was filled with Abhi's loud laughter.

He was just teasing them.

"Bhaii/bhaiyaaa"

He opened his arms and they rushed in. Sid and aira got engaged 9 months ago. Both were love birds before that.

At evening..

Sid groggily opened his eyes and saw mahir sitting beside him.

"Bhai"

"Uth gya tu..how are you feeling now?"

Sid comfortably laid back and leaned his head on his shoulder

"Thik hu...sachi!" He added as mahir looked at his eyes.

"I know!" Mahir smirked.

"Kaise?!! Apko kaise pata chalta h ki mai apse jhut bolta hu ya sach?"

He asked in a sulking tone

"Jab vihu tumse jhut bolta hai tab kese pata chalta tujhe?"

"Wo mujhse nazar nai mil pata.."
His normal tone slowly reduced as realisation hit him.

"Wese hi kiddo" he ruffled his hair

"Sorry bhaii" he snuggled in his embrace.

"Health comes first sid..aage se aise galti hona nai chahiye...u understand"
He asked cupping his face with one hand.

"Nai hoga promise " sid flashed a smile.

"Good boy. And for the next two weeks you are going to get complete rest with proper food and medicine at time. Aur kuch bhi karne ki koshish bhi mat kar...just spend your time with us. Thik hai"

"Aur koi option hai mere pas Mr Hitler?" He asked dramatically.

"Acha ji aise baat hai" mahir whacked him lightly and sid laughed mahir joined him soon.

"Mazak tha yar...I love you bhaii"

"Love you too sid!"
