I knocked and went inside bhaiya's room. Bhaiya was still grieving. He held a cigarett in his hand, undecided whether to have a puff or not.
"Bhaiya, have some food please." I said placing the dinner plate on the table. He turned round to face me but before that he squashed the unlit cigarett and thew it away.
"Rehan was such a good person. It is my fault. I should have been in contact with his family. And Humaira! She is suffering much in her youthful years." He pined.
"Its god's plan after all. Who can alter it?" I said consoling him. "If you really want to help then you should pray for them. But first finish off your dinner. I am not going to heat it again for you." I said playfully.
"Ok but Where is your plate? Go bring it fast." He ordered. I stood there, dumb. Do i have to eat again? No god please. I was already full. If he entreated me drink lava the next morning i would happily do so but having dinner twice is infuriating but I wanted him to have dinner.
"Yeah I am bringing," reluctantly I brought the food and shoved inside the mouth, chewing it as slowly as i could. I gazed at bhiaya. Brothers are friends that god bestows. Apart from Ayan, bhaiya was my cozy corner. It was only he that understood me well in the house. He is a perfect klutzy of my match. We talked a little longer after the dinner. Then he pinned the topic which I detered.
" Do you like Ayan?" He asked bluntly. I stopped chewing and looked up at him, perplexed. I don't know of any brother who is interested to see his sister have a boyfriend. He is exceptional. "Ok let me put it this way. Does he know that you like him?" He said collecting the food together in his plate.
"What are you talking? Have you lost your brain. He is my friend." I said trying to act innocent.
"C'mon Farha, i have seen you grow. You hardly have any friends and you dont get attached to someone easily. Its Ayan, i know." He said with full confidence.
He was right and was so calm because he knew Ayan very well. His history, geography, phycology and every possible information. If it was someone else i hooked up with, he would have turned the world upside down and carried out the investigation the night itself. I was not safe for me to lie again. If i denied he would have tortured me day and night infront of dad and mom until i spitted it out.
"No, i dont want ot to get married so early. May be after graduation i will think of it." I answered unflinchingly.
"Come back from the future farha. We have no plans of your wedding. I only asked if he is going on well with you in Bhuvaneshwar. Are you guys committed?" He said with a stern voice.
Someone please stab me to death. I have a very bad habit of procastinating events.
"No" i said and got up to leave. Saving myself from further foolishness. "Good night, idiot."
"Good night worthless creature. Close the door and go." i could hear his fading voice as I shut the door of my room.
