Arshita's Pov

I had been watching tv in the living room for almost two hours straight as I had nothing to do because of my dad's decision of throwing me out of the company for a week!

After two hours as I finally got tired of flipping the channels and watching just whatever, I turned the TV off as I got up and went back to my room, what if I can't go to the office? I can still work at home! I know I'm a genius!

I entered inside the room and walked upto my bed, I saw a folded paper on the beside drawer as soon as I sat on the bed. I picked it up and it looked like some sort of letter with a title on the outside--My sincere apology!

I opened the letter and it also had a chocolate inside, I smiled as I started reading it while I didn't even knew who kept it here but curiosity eats me up so..

Dear Arshu or should I say bhabhi!

Well as I know that you aren't ready to talk to me after whatever happened so I'm writing this letter to say my sincerest apologies to you. I'm really really sorry for whatever I did and for all the mess that I created during this wedding.

I was an idiot to agree to marry to you when I was clearly in love with you cute sister, I should've just denied the day dad asked me for it but me being the dumb kid of the house misunderstood everything and it created such a big mess.

I know I hurted you in many ways and I'm really really sorry for it but you tell me, would you have liked it if your sister would be left heart broken because of me? I guess you must've killed me instead of just being angry at me. I met Shriya six months ago and fell in love, I didn't even had to think for another second because I just knew that she was the one for me, I felt that spark and so never in wildest dreams I could've thought of hurting because I knew if I had really married you, she would be heart broken forever and I love her way too much to do that to her.

And lastly I want to say that, you're a great person but only bhai has the powers to be with you! I hope you forgive me after this sweet little apology and bhai too cuz he was the one who told me what's your favourite chocolate!

Your's sincerely,
Rahul (cute dewar)

As I finished reading the letter there was definitely a smile on my face because whatever it was, this was the cutest apology I ever got! I felt really happy to see that Rahul took all this risk just for the sake of Shriya and I couldn't be more happy for them.

I was still smiling when someone knocked up on door and I looked up to find Rahul standing there as he asked, "Can I come in?"

I nodded my head slightly as he came and sat in front of me, "Why letter?" I asked making a straight face and he looked down while scratching the back of his neck as he said, "I didn't wanted to get slapped once again, safety first you know"

I couldn't help but chuckle at his reaction, Rahul looked up at me smiling sheepishly as he asked, "Does that mean I'm forgiven?"

"Well you said only Manish can handle me, he had those powers! Don't you know I need that power to bear with him?" I asked making a face and he chuckled while saying, "Well everyone knows what's the truth"

"You're here to be forgiven remember?" I asked giving a glare to him and he nodded saying, "Sorry"

"Fine you're forgiven, I can't help but adore your and Shriya's relation!" I said smilingly and he looked up grinning widely as I said, "Why didn't I sensed it before?"

"But you know now! I'm finally relieved now" Rahul said and I smiled as he got up to go out when I stopped him, "Rahul! Where are you going?"

"Why?" he asked me and I made a face as I said, "I'm bored way too much"

"I have an idea, come with me" He said and I smiled as I got immediately and walked out of the room with him.

"Rahul, you're cheating!" I shouted as we were playing fifa in the living room after sometime because both of us didn't had anything better to do!

"You're losing, that doesn't mean I'm cheating" he said chuckling as he added after finishing the fifth match that I lost to him, "You really suck at this bhabhi"

"Mai haar nhi manungi, let's play once again" I said and he just sighed while nodding his head as we started another game when someone came from the front door, he fake coughed and I already knew that it was Manish but I and Rahul didn't even bothered to look up as we both were so much into the game, Manish once again fake coughed and I sighed as I said still not looking at him, "Have some water if your throat is hoarse Manu"

"Looks like you guys made up" Manish asked in an amused tone and Rahul spoke without removing his eyes from the screen, "Of course my ideas never fail"

"Fine fine! Could you two look up atleast we have a guest" Manish said and we both looked up together to find Shriya standing beside Manish. She waved at us with a small smile on her face and Rahul immediately threw the controller as he went and hugged her.

"I missed you so much!" Rahul said hugging her and Shriya smiled as she hugged him back saying, "Okay! I missed you too"

Manish looked at me as I was looking here and there while he signalled something to me and I didn't understand whatever he was trying to say!

"What?" I murmured to him while he just sighed as he came upto me and stood beside me, he nudged my shoulder as he whispered, "Aren't you going to meet her?"

"Well, I'm still kind of mad at her" I said and Manish just rolled his eyes as he murmured, "You and your anger!"

"I met your dad, he told me she wasn't doing well since last two days, she didn't talked much and skipped meals! You should talk to her, that's why I bought her here" He said slowly and I looked at Shriya who was talking to Rahul but as if she sensed she turned to look at me and I didn't looked away.

Manish looked at me as he sighed because I was still standing in the same place without saying anything, so he held my arm and then Shriya's too as he pushed us to the other side of the living room saying, "Don't come back until you two solve everything, okay"

I just gave him a glare while he smiled cheekily as he and Rahul sat now to play the game and I turned back to Shriya who was already looking at me.

We silently sat down on the bean bags as both of us looked here and there not knowing how to start the conversation, I had also been feeling really bad for not talking to her or being so cold but I didn't had a choice, I'm her sister and she should've told me about her relationship atleast.

Third person's pov

"So... What do you want me to do for you to throw away your anger?" Shriya asked finally breaking the silence and I looked up at her as I spoke up raising my voice a bit, "You should clearly give me a justification as to why you didn't told me about Rahul, and even after when I agreed to marry him? Had you lost your mind?"

"Really did you told me about you and Manish.. I mean jiju? Did you? Does that mean you don't believe me?" She asked in the same tone and I gave her a look as I shouted, "That was my past, it didn't had anything to do with all this marriage thing, you should've just told me that I agreed to marry you boyfriend"

"I was confused, I didn't know what to do, but it's your fault too that you agreed to marry your ex-boyfriend's brother, how could you even do that?" Shriya asked me shouting too and I looked at her wide eyed as I said, "Hawww how can you say that? Do you think I'm some kind of vamp to do these things?"

Meanwhile on the other side Manish and Rahul were focusing more on the shouting from the another corner than their own game, "Are they fighting again?" Rahul asked making a face and Manish just shrugged his shoulders!

"Should we go and stop them?" Rahul asked again getting up ready to go and Manish gave him a look while saying, "Apni Jaan pyaari hai toh baitha reh!"

Rahul just made a face as he sat back while Arshita and Shriya were still going on with their conversation!

"Okay I'm sorry! But you could've shared your secrets with me too, I'm also your sister after all" Shriya said shouting and I gave her a look as I said, "Of course! How can you expect that when you didn't told me anything?"

"That's because you were always so closed off in yourself!" she said and I gave her a look as I shouted, "It's not like I'm your mom or I would've killed you for going out with you boyfriend"

"Who knows? You act like a mom even more than mom herself" Shriya said and I I gave her a glare as I asked gritting my teeth, "Haww, do you really have a death wish, cuz I really want to kill you now"

"Sure go ahead, do it.. Shayad gussa khatam hi ho jaye" Shriya said making a face and Arshita just sighed while making a face as she looked away and Shriya also fell silent after that!

They sat still not quite looking at each other for sometime as they cooled down a bit and then looked at each other again when Arshita laughed a bit saying, "I can't believe we're still fighting like kids"

"Seriously, well I guess it's always been like that. Hum log ke saare fights aise hi khatam hote hai" Shriya said chuckling too and they both laughed as Shriya asked, "That's means this one is finished too right?"

"Yeah yeah fine! We're done, I'm sorry too! Come here now" Arshita said as she got up and forwarded a hand to Shriya as she got up too and they both hugged each other while smiling widely.

"See they made up!" Manish said looking at both of them and Rahul nodded his head with a blank look on his face while saying, "That was really a new way of making up with each other"

"I know" Manish said and they both laughed together when Arshita and Shriya turned to look at them, as Arshita asked, "What is so funny?"

"The way you both-" Manish as going to say when Rahul stomped his foot stopping him in between as he said, "We're just happy that everything is finally alright between you two"

"Aww so cute" Shriya said smiling and Rahul nodded his head as he murmured to Manish who was glaring at him, "Marne wale kaam kyu krte ho bhai? You don't need to remind them how they were fighting"

"Okay okay" Manish said to him while he turned to the girls as he said "Btw I'm really hungry, should we order some delicious food to celebrate the end of fights?"

"Idea! I'm really happy today, so I'm going to make something for you guys just wait here and I'll come back soon" Arshita said while the three of them looked at her in shock because she was really a bad cook or not at all a cook.

"Areyy itni mehnat ki kya zarurat hai, we'll order something" Manish said giving a silly smile while Rahul and Shriya nodded their heads and Arshita gave them a look while saying, "Nahi! Maine kaha I'll cook today, don't underestimate my power"

"We never did, we just don't want you to work so much" Rahul said and Arshita shooked her head in denial as she said, "Arey I'm ready to do then what's the problem?"

"Should I help you?" Shriya asked her and Arshita showed her hand to stop her saying, "No need, I'll go now and come back soon until then you guys can play games"

"Fine fine go ahead mom" Manish said and received a glare from Arshita as she finally walked towards the kitchen while the three of them sighed and Rahul spoke up, "Pata nhi kaisa khana milne wala hai"

"Milne wala bhi hai ya nhi, I'm not sure" Manish said making a face and Shriya nodded her head as she said, "I know right. That's the reason mom never used to allow her in kitchen"

The three of them just sighed as they tried to focus back on the game and let Arshita do whatever she wants for once!

After almost two hours of being in the kitchen Arshita finally came out of there with a plate in her hand which had her favourite white sauce pasta in it!

"Tada! I'm not sure how this is, so guys try it please" She said keeping the plate on front of them while the three of them looked at the plate and then at each other.

"Bhai you first!" Rahul said forwarding the plate to Manish and he looked at him with his mouth open when Shriya also said, "Yess jiju first"

Manish just gave a 'I'll see you guys later' look as he finally picked up the fork and ate a bite of the pasta as Arshita asked, "How is it?"

Manish just gave her a wide smile while passing on the plate to Rahul who was beside him murmuring, "Your turn"

Rahul looked at the plate and then at Manish as he also took a bite as Arshita once again asked, "How is it Rahul?"

Rahul just showed her a thumbs up while Arshita gave him a look as he handed the plate to Shriya and she also ate it, "Why aren't you guys saying anything? Chia is it good?"

"Woww very good, you wanna taste?" Shriya said and Arshita smiled while taking the plate from her hand as she asked, "Really?"

Arshita took a bite while smiling but her expressions changed as soon as she tasted it, she spitted it out making a disgusting face as she looked at the three of them.

"Chii! This is so bad! How can you guys eat this? And what very good Chia? Isse ganda pasta maine aaj tak nhi khaya, seriously how can you guys not tell and just eat it?" Arshita was blabbering when Manish gave her a look as she was insulting her own cooking.

"We didn't wanted to what you're doing right now, hume apni jaan bhut pyaari hai" Manish said getting up and walking upto her as he took the plate from her hand while Arshita just made a face, "Sorry!" Rahul said and Arshita looked at him as she said, "Why are you sorry? You didn't made it"

"And you kept me hungry for two hours just for this pasta" Manish said coming upto her and Arshita just gave him a look while saying, "Fine fine, just order something right now, I'm hungry too now"

"Yahi pehle kar liya hota toh kitna acha hota" Shriya said and received a glare from Arshita as they all just laughed and sat down while Manish ordered pizzas!

After sometime as the four of them were talking and busy eating pizzas Arshita and Manish were lost in their own world of their usual bickering when Shriya said, "Gosh! You guys are really alike!"

"Alike? Us? No way? Don't even compare me to him? I'm much better you know" Arshita said and Manish nudged her shoulder with his as he said, "Excuse me, even I don't want to be compared to you! I have a reputation"

"See that's what I'm saying, he's not at all like me! Always speaking nonsense, kya yaar Rahul I was going to marry you aur mai kiske sath phass gyi" Arshita said smiling cheekily and Manish just looked at her in shock as Shriya said, "Ayee he's just mine!"

"But seriously, do you really regret marrying bhai?" Rahul asked Arshita fell silent as Manish also looked at her, now really curious to know her answer! He wanted her to say no, that she doesn't, but what she did was worse! She decided not to answer the question!

"Why did you all got so serious, we were just joking! Right Manu?" Arshita said trying to ignore Rahul's question while Manish just sighed as he left the pizza box and got up suddenly as he walked back to his room not before saying, "I have some work to do! You guys carry on"

He was hurt more because she decided to ignore the question, it was like she was still not sure about what she felt! She was still so unsure of this relationship meanwhile Manish was falling harder and harder for her with each passing day!
