Mithali. Mithali. Mithali.

'She really needs to leave me alone. Why is she the only person I think about? Even if I try distracting myself she is the first thing in the morning I think about and the last thing at night.'

Agastya groaned. He shouldn't be interested in a girl from his university. Even though he loved handling education sector of their family industries,he really wish he didn't see her. That she wasn't meant for him. He shouldn't dream about her. Dreaming about her was okay to an extent but dreaming of her in his bed and a lot of other things was not okay.

Standing next to his huge window,Agastya could see his University Campus. It was huge,one of the best all around the world. Even though most of the students in the college were privileged, they had to have a talent or two, they had to be exceptionally good at something to get into his university. The RJM University has all streams covering different courses, from art to law, science to management, music to photography.

Agastya didn't believe in the stupid Norma of the society where only the doctors,engineers and lawyers were up to something. The belief of many parents in Hyderabad was something he crushed completely.

In here, every course is as important as the rest. He didn't believe that any other professional course was less then the rest. The study pattern and the syllabus along with the number of courses a student is allowed to take were all decided by Agastya.

His methods were different but effective. Obviously there were students who hated studies but they were students who liked it, and every student in his university had to have something they were good at .

Agastya believe that he would only have students who were passionate about their goals and dreams in his University. He believed in shaping them to achieve their aspirations. Every year he personally picked he students who would attend his University.

When he meant his University, it meant nobody, as in nobody, not even his family gets to make any decisions. It's his part if the industry and so it is him who handles it. It was an unspoken rule amount the six brothers, unless and until in trouble they wouldn't involve in any other industry other then their industries.

Well Kiyaansh and Noreen didn't get to study in his University because they ate his family, but they got in because of their capabilities. Noreen was good at Mathematics and Coding, as in way to good, Agastya was sure that she would probably end up as a code developer or a data scientist or a mathematician. She would do something closely related to all this.

On the other hand, his baby brother more like a lazy brother was good at mechanics, automobiles and aerospace courses. Everyone knew Kiyaansh loved racing, let it be a Car or Bike. Even though Bikes were his Favourite. Kiyaansh loved the idea of working on automobiles and aerospace industries. And so it was decided those two industries were meant for him. Even though he is studying his masters with specialisation in designing and managing both the industries. He already started working in his company. The only reason he wanted to study was Noreen. Everyone knew that except Noreen and Kiyaansh. The reason Kiyaansh gave them was still funny.

"Nannaamma,please. Please. Please" begged Kiyaansh. Hugging her and pouting while sitting next to her on the couch. He wanted her to convince his brothers to let him continue his so called studies.

Everyone knew he hated it. Everyone knew why he wanted to study. Noreen. Noreen was the reason behind his sudden interest towards studies. He didn't want to leave her behind, more like he didn't trust any guy around her and he also had to protect Mithali.

None of the family members had a problem with Kiyaansh studying. But they didn't want to loose the chance to tease and irritate him.most importantly watch him beg. As the youngest he was always pampered, always got what he wanted.

Now all of them got a chance to watch him beh and they didn't to let go of it.

"I will try talking to them. But I am not sure if I can convince them." Said Dhara with a sad face controlling herself from breaking into a fit of laughter.

"Sir, all your meeting for today are done. And the birthday gifts are all packed. The donations to the orphanage are done. Your clothes for the party are all set. And you have a meeting tomorrow with one of the clients at 10:30" said his personal assistant, Akira bringing him back to the present.

"Okay. Will you be attending the party tonight?" Asked Agastya.

"Yes Sir." Replied Akira casually.

"Well get dressed well,date" said Agastya playfully.

"Oh my God. What did I did to deserve the great little agu as my date?" Akira replied smirking while stressing on his nickname.

"Get out. And better be there on time." Said Agastya while glaring at her for calling him agu.

Laughing Akira left his Cabin.

He hated it. He hated when anybody called him by that. He couldn't ever understand why was he named Agastya, just so that he people can tease him by calling him agu? It frustrated him. And his nannaamma's acting skills, it blew him away.

If anyone saw him like that, they would laugh at him. And thank God,mithali wasn't there in the morning and she didn't even attend the pooja. If she did,she would have known about his pants dragged down by Ridhaan and his wailing after his grandma's theatre performance.

Hearing the door open he saw Akira.

"Don't forget put on what I chose for you. We will look perfect." Winking at him akira left.

Agastya chuckled.

Akira kashyap,a very determined, hardworking,bold and professional woman who worked for Agastya.

She didn't throw herself at him like the rest if the women did,not just the people who work with him or work under him but all those girls in the University except for a few and one of them is Noreen. Not Mithali. Mithali was never in the list if people shouldn't throw themselves at Agastya.

Walking down the hallway, she saw Mithali with her glasses having in the bridge of her nose with books in her hands. Her hair with coconut oil braided tightly.

'God !!! She is a mess' Akira thought.

She must have been here because she needs books. Agastya doesn't like it loud. He lies it quiet. That's one of the main reasons that his cabin is situated in the block which was meant for library and not in the administration and management department.

He really has a weird way of having his things. He likes it silent, he could have just got sound proof walls but no, he had to have a floor all for himself in the library block.

Even if he did have his cabin in the library block, what would a normal person do? He would have had it situated in first or the last floor but no, Agastya is different.

The library was of five floors. And he had has office in the third floor and he would know when someone has to go two the floors above him as he made it a rule that they need to have access cards. So that he would get a list of the students and staff entering.

Coincidentally the fifth floor has the medicine section required books. And it wasn't always like that. Once the library was filled with books on all the floors. But it has changed in the past three years. The medical books used to be on the first floor. But now they were on the fifth floor and only the medical students and the staff had an access to it.

More like only Agastya has access to it as he out of nowhere felt generous towards the medical department and got them a separate library only for teacher's use in their department block.

And all these changes and benifits were given to the medical department.

'Why? Obviously Mithali' Akira thought.

Akira had always been sure that sooner or later Mithali will be under Agastya on a bed moaning with his tie around her wrist. How did she know it ? Well Agastya at times has a strong grip on his tie while gazing at Mithali with his lustful eyes.

Most importantly She knew the way Mithali looked at Agastya eveytime they walked past her in the university or met her due to her being Kiyaansh's best friend.

Akira knew Mithali was attracted to Agastya,she is like a open book. But the same couldn't be told about Agastya. Agastya is beyind her understanding.

But she knew Agastya wasn't interested in hooking up with any girl who is student in his University. But maybe he will make an exception for Mithali.

Akira wasn't stupid enough to know the sexual tension between the two of them. If Mithali would be seen anywhere with a boy, then it would be the last straw of patience for Agastya. She would bet on it.

After washing Zivah's face, Katyayani helped her daughter and promised her that she wouldn't be home-schooled. That she would get to meet other kids and make friends, just like the rest of them.

But she was really curious to meet the boy Aekansh mentioned.

'Was her daughter really into this boy ?'

She didn't want to ask her daughter anything that would upset her.

Katyayani immediately left after Agastya took her with him. She still hasn't changed her clothes.

Carrying his little Zee-Zee in his arms,he kissed her cheeks making her giggle and kiss his cheeks too. He knew that his little baby was stressed about something and he wanted her to be happy so he didn't question her. He planned on asking his brothers later.

Taking her inside the party, he saw many kids playing around while giggling. After he put her down, he saw his ashi playing with some kids while Zee-Zee rushed towards some boy, who smiled brightly after noticing her rushing towards him.

'Why is Zee-Zee smiling at a boy? Wait why are they hugging? Oh my fucking lord!!! Did that incompetent brat just kiss my baby on her cheek. How dare him? I am going to- god what is wrong with me? Control yourself Agastya. They are kids and they are friends. They are probably just like siblings. Not like Noreen and Kiyaansh. Obviously! Why would they be like that? They would be more like Mithali and Kiyaansh.Right? It's better I leave before I do something I might regret'

Agastya immediately left after watching that horrifying sight. And he really needs to stop thinking about Mithali. How could he think of her even when he was thinking about his little princess's life.

After her babai left and her brother was busy with his friends, she grabbed the boy's hands and took him away from the party.

Reaching her bedroom, she made him sit on her bed and hugged him crying. The poor boy didn't understand what must have hurt her so much, but hearing her sob and watch her cry he started crying too while he hugged her back tightly. After removing her hands from him she asked him.

She asked him what every girl would dream.

"Lell lu chmarry Li?" She aksed him with tears streaming down her face. (Will you marry me?)

"My aati chonts lu chepalate yus. Babais Chulso" (My brother wants to separate us. My babais also) Zivah continued with tears streaming down her face.

This broke the little boy's heart. He didn't want to leave his Zivah. She made him happy. He loved talking to her,spending time with her. She meant so much and more to him.

"Li chmol. Tow li chmarry?"said the little boy. (we small. How we marry?)

He was a little boy of few words. These were the first words he told her after she dragged him away from the party.

"I chow luvie. Child-Loy Chiss lips. Chmarried." (I saw movie. Children kiss lips. Married) Zivah said poinitng at their lips while remembering the movie she watched with Imogen.

"Tokay" he said smiling while wiping her tears causing her to smile.

The moment her lips were in his someone was at the door and saw the little girl and boy.

Their eyes closed while their lips are together. They were kids. They just stood like that for a while not knowing what to do next,obviously.

But watching the scene someone rushed out of the room clenching his fist.

"That bitch is dead" he muttered, his eyes red due to anger.

Walking down the stairs where all the adults were enjoying the party, he froze in the middle. He eyes turned towards what everyone was focused on.

There stood in the middle, Mithali with her head resting on Ridhaan while his arms held her tightly yet gently. Ridhaan smiled while Mithali buries hersekf more into him, even though he couldn't see her face, he knew her. He knew her well enough to know that she was blushing.

He wanted to push them apart. He wanted her in his arms, in his bed. Let it be blushing, giggling, crying, moaning or any other emotion. It has to be him, the reason behind it and nobody else.

Hearing those whispers, he felt his nightmare coming true. He never wanted to se her with any other man. And now, she was with his younger brother. His baby brother who matters more then his own life. But did she deserve him? Did Mithali deserve Ridhaan.

'What is she trying to do? Is she trying to break them apart? What is this girl up to? If she hurts his brother, I will ruin her life in the worst way. Didn't she like me? What the hell in this girl trying to do?'

Staring at them, he clenched his fists trying to control his anger watuching his brother tighten his grip around Mithali. Now he felt like hurting his brother for hurting her, his Mithali.

While everyone's gaze moved from the two couples standing there, now everyone's attention turned towards the sound of hurled clicking against the floor.

Everyone turned towards the sound, including the two so called couples according to the people present at the party. But all this time when Agastya was staring at Mithali now, turning towards the sound of the heels, she didn't notice the girl with heels but her eyes were gazing at the man of her dreams, the man she has always liked.

Looking at his eyes, all she saw was anger and hatred for her but she still couldn't stop staring at him. Turning her gaze away, she saw his outfit.

He wore a three piece suit with a baby pink shirt and his golden watch which went well with his black outfit. His dark and soft hair gelled back.

Turning her eyes towards the person who caught the attention of every person present in the room, she saw Akira Kashyap, his PA.

Mithali didn't know she was invited to the party. She thought they were strictly professional. But watching him smirk at her with a soft gaze held in his yes for her and raising his hand for her to take, showed the world that he was a true gentleman but to her it was like crushing her soul.

Placing her hand in his, Akira smiled at him, he smiled back. She knew all the eyes were on them. She couldn't help but smirk to herself internally as her plan was working.

Walking down the stairs, standing next to Agastya while he held her hand gently and smiled at her, smiled back.

Akira wore a baby pink romper with a deep neck which showed the right amount of cleavage and matching heels along with the diamond earrings and necklace which Agastya gifted her for her previous birthday.

Turning their eyes towards the people standing opposite to them, Akira saw Mithali in Ridhaan's arms, his hands around her shoulders while her gaze was everywhere but them.

Turning to look at Agastya,she saw him glaring at Mithali, more like glaring at her shoulder where his baby brother's arm was resting.

All the while the count went down. 'Five down. One left' Now all the hopes for the women present at their party was the mastermind of the family,Idhayan.

Now even Idhayan screamed internally realizing what must be going through the brain of all those desperate girls.

Walking down the hallway after the party got over, Agastya couldn't help but feel the anger radiating from him at the thought of Mithali in somebody else's arms and at the same time he couldn't figure out why was she is in his brother's arms. And after hearing what other people were talking about them, he couldn't t help but wonder what his brother was up to.

'Did my brother really say that she is his woman?Is that his way of marking his woman? God I don't care about her. She doesn't matter to me' he thought and repeated the last sentence again and again.

Agastya couldn't help but think about all that happened at the party. It sure was going to give him a headache in the morning. It was supposed to be the day for his little nephew and niece. But it ended up like something else.

More then a birthday it was like a jealous party.

Agastya stopped dead on his track. The sight in front of him have him all the answers to his questions.

Everything stopped at that moment,he felt nothing for a moment. It was like he was brain dead. He couldn't process anything.

There stood Ridhaan and Mithali together,with Ridhaan's back facing him while he could see what was happening. Ridhaan's hands held Mithali's cheeks with head turned a bit towards his right while Mithali's hands clutched Ridhaan's clothes around his chest and her head tilted towards the other side, he couldn't see her face. Agastya knew it, even though he couldn't see her hands or her face, he knew her well enough to recognise her just by looking at her forehead.

He could clearly see what was happening, Ridhaan and Mithali kissing each other.

And blood dripping down his hand with the broken pieces of vase clutched in his hand. Just like that his heart shattered for the first time devastating him and murdering his soul brutally.
