Raina House

Manvi entered inside the house with cat paws, she had been very late. It is always because of Aarav whenever she is with him she forgets the time. She entered into her room and closed the door taking a deep breath.

"Bach gayi.." she said. She looked in front and found her sister staring at her, she gulped down her throat.

"Kaha thi tum?" she questioned.

"Di office hi hongi na" she replied.

"Par office toh tumhara 5.30 khatam ho jaata hai na?" Naina questioned.

Manvi smiled and did not know what to answer, she sighed and walked to the bathroom. Naina sighed and shouted "meri baat abhi puri nahi hui hai mannu"

Naina walked out of the room, Manvi had a sigh of relief. She looked at herself in the mirror and removed Aarav's shirt. A smile appeared on her face remembering the time spent with him.

She gave up on her thoughts and changed to a night suit. She came out and sat on the couch beside Rajveer. She asked "jiju kya dekh rahe ho?"

"Movie.." he replied.

She looked at the scene and chuckled like a kid "Aww.. mera favourite hai"

They started to enjoy, Naina picked up the remote and turned off the television. Both shouted "Nainu/Di kyu band kiya??"

She glared at them.. "Mere sawal ka jawab do.. Kaha rehti ho office ke baad?" she asked.

"Di.. kahi nahi kuch meetings wagera hi attend karti hun" Manvi gave the excuse.

"Oh really?? Kisi ladke ki shirt mein bheegne ko meeting kehte hai?" She asked, glancing at her with narrow eyes.

Manvi bit her tongue out at her stupidity, Rajveer glanced at her and asked "mannu??"

Manvi passed an innocent smile.

"Come on speak up.. Kaun tha jo tumhe chodne aaya ghar tak?" she asked.

Manvi was shocked, afterall she is her elder sister nothing can be hidden from her.

"Bolo saali sahiba ghar ke boss ke sawalo se toh main bhi nahi bach sakta hun.." Rajveer said.

Manvi smiled and she replied "wo mere office mein hai.."

"Acha.. toh roj uske saath aana jaana laga rehta hai tumhara?" Naina asked further.

Manvi replied "kabhi kabhi Di.. wo bas mera acha dost hai don't think that"

"Maine toh kuch pucha hi nahi" Naina replied.

Manvi sighed.. "Di.." she pouted.

"It's okay.. Agar pyaar karti ho toh batado? Shaadi karwa denge tumhari" Rajveer said supporting her.

Manvi sighed "uff.. Jiju kya aap bhi.. Mera dost hai wo sachi" she clarified and ran to her room.

Naina smiled and winked Rajveer "ladki gayi.."

Shekhawat Mansion

Aarav entered the house and Anand was standing in front of him. He looked at his condition and slapped his face.

Aarav closed his palm into fist to control his anger, Anand shouted "what is this? Ye middle class harkatein tumhari? Shirt kaha hai tumhari? Meri ijzat ka khayal hai ki nahi?"

"Dad.. main" he spoke

Anand shut him up with "shut up Aarav.. Rules must be followed kalse tum mere saath ghar wapas aaoge samjhe"

"Lekin Dad I have a life... main aise qaid rehke nahi jee sakta hun" he replied angrily.

"Jo kah raha hun it's for your own good samjhe and go to your room" he said strictly.

He stamped his foot in anger and moved to his room. Tears slipped down his eyes, he remembered a memory with his brother.

Aarav and Rajveer were returning from the office, Aarav asked him to stop the car. Rajveer stopped and questioned "kya hua??"

"Bhai.. chalo na mujhe game section mein jaana hai" he said childishly.

Rajveer glanced at the time and spoke "Dad.. naraz honge"

He made an innocent face, Rajveer could not deny and they moved into the mall to the games section. Aarav beat him into the car race and she shouted "yes..."

Rajveer smiled and ruffled his hair. Aarav saw someone and said "bhai dekho.. Bhabhi"

Rajveer eyed and there was an old lady walking, he glared at Aarav "What??"

"Haa.. maine socha aap toh mere liye bhabhi laoge nahi toh main hi aapke liye pasand karlun" he said winking at him.

He glanced at him angrily. "Koi aur nahi mili??"

"Nahi.." he said naughtily and ran away from there. Rajveer caught him by shoulder and tapped his cheek.

"Kuch zyada hi shaitaan ho gaye ho tum" he said.

"Main toh masoom sa hun.." he said dramatically.

"Ghar chalo ab.." Rajveer pulled him towards the exit, they reached home around 10pm.

Anand was awake, he glanced at both of them. "Ye waqt hai kya koi aane ka?" he asked, scolding both of them.

Anand eyed at Aarav "ek kaam diya tha tumhe wo toh hua nahi par masti matarghasti jitni marzi karwalo tumse.."

Rajveer said "Dad.. aapka kaam ho gaya hai aur main hi ise mall leke gaya tha please usko mat danto"

"Seriously Rajveer I did not expect this from you" he said and walked away.

Aarav murmured "khadoos hitler.."

Rajveer smiled and they moved to their room. Aarav thanked his brother for saving him from Anand's scoldings and punishment.

He came out trance of his thoughts with teary eyes.

Sunday

Rajveer, Naina and Manvi were in imagica. Manvi went for a ride while Raina sat in the cafeteria.

Rajveer brought the coffee, Naina sipped it. She eyed at him and he seemed to be thoughtful.

She asked "Raj kya soch rahe ho?"

"Yahi ki agar tum meri life mein nahi hoti toh mera kya hota?" he said with a smile.

"Toh shayad tum apni family ke saath hote" she said in a low tone.

He eyed her and said "main ab bhi apni family ke saath hi hun.."

"Janti hun.. Par kya tumhe ek baar Aarav se baat nahi karni chahiye thi? Aakhir chota bhai hai tumhara" she said, convincing him.

"He is not listening to me aur usko ab main nahi samjhaunga" he said adamantly.

"Tumhara hi bhai hai ziddi.." Naina said.

Rajveer just smiled, they went out of the cafeteria. Manvi was at the shop, they glanced at her shockingly.

"Ye ladki pakka pyaar mein hai" Naina commented.

He held her hand and walked into the shop. Naina asked "kya dekh rahi hai tu?"

"Di wo usko na shirt kharab ho gaya tha and he likes this kind of shirt toh wahi khareed rahi hun" Manvi replied.

Rajveer poked her elbow "kya baat hai.. Saali sahiba aaj tak mere liye toh ek bhi shirt nahi khareedi aur aaj uske liye khareedi jaa rahi hai"

"Jiju.. aapke liye Di hai na aur meri help karo" she ordered him.

Rajveer selected one shirt, and Manvi asked him to pay the bill.

"Par ye toh tum le rahi ho na" Rajveer said.

"Haan toh? Mere liye aap payment nahi kar sakte? Aapki beti jaisi hun main" she said, making a crying face.

"Uff.. iski nautanki kabhi khatam nahi hoti jahan dekho shuru ho jaati hai" Naina said

Rajveer paid the bill and they headed to the restaurant for dinner.

Shekhawat Mansion

Aarav was inside the room playing the video game by himself which he used to play with his brother. Rama unlocked the door, Aarav said in a sarcastic tone "keh do unhe kahi nahi jaa raha hun main.. Room lock karne ki zaroorat nahi hai"

"Ready ho jao Aarav." she said

He kept the controller at a side and asked "kis liye?"

"Tumhare Dad ne kaha hai.. Ready hoke neeche aa jao" she replied and moved out leaving him bewildered.

The servant came in with a formal suit and kept it on bed. Aarav glanced at it, he wore it and went downstairs. He was surprised to see a party.

Anand did not even bother to tell him about this, Anand smiled seeing him and held his hand. Aarav was just bewildered at his behaviour.

"Ladies and gentlemen.. The ceremony you all are gathered for is about to begin" he said.

Aarav glanced at his mother, who had tears in her eyes. A girl in lehenga came and stood beside Aarav.

"My son and Mr. Sinha daughter Tina's engagement" Anana announced.

Aarav was totally stunned hearing him, everyone clapped. Aarav was about to speak something, but Anand shot a deadly glare at him.

The girl forwarded her hand, Anand said "Aarav exchange the ring"

He just looked at him and slid the ring in her finger helplessly. The girl slid the ring into his finger and family pictures were taken.

Anand and Mr. Sinha hugged each other with "This relation will take our business to new heights"

Aarav left to his room immediately, he entered the room and threw away the things in anger. Rama came in and said "Aarav.."

He eyed her and asked "Tumhe pata tha iss baare mein??"

Rama was silent, he nearly shouted "pata tha ki nahi maa?"

She nodded her head in yes. Aarav just can't believe it. "Aapne mujhe bataya bhi zaroori nahi samjha? Dad aise kaise meri engagement karwa sakte hai mujhe bina bataye this is wrong"

"Main kya karun Aarav? Wo nahi sunte hai kisiki" Rama said helplessly.

"Maa tum janti thi main kisi ladki ko pasand karta hun" Aarav said with teary eyes.

"Pata tha mujhe jis raaste pe tumhara bhai gaya uspe tum bhi zaroor jaoge.. Lekin jo galti tumhare bhai ne ki wo tum na karo isliye maine fix ki ye marriage samjhe tum" Anand shouted at him.

"Dad.. bhai ki galti ki saza mujhe kyun?" he asked.

"No arguments.. Rama chalo neeche" he said and Rama went with him.

Aarav hit his hand on the mirror which broke and blood started to ooze out from it. "I hate you bhai.. I hate you.." tears brimmed down his eyes.
