Chapter 4
Abhishek entered the living room to find it empty he frowned his brows in confusion he was expecting his bhaiya to be here to punish him but he wasn't there.
He waited for a few minutes then went to his room and changed his uniform, sat on the bed thinking what his brother would do with him.
He stood up when the door of his room opened revealing his fear, Advait was standing at the door.
"Come downstairs for lunch." Advait ordered and left.
Abhishek hesitantly followed him downstairs. Advait served him without saying anything.
"Meet me in my room after lunch." He ordered and left without waiting for his answer.
Abhishek gulped now his hunger had gone thinking of the anticipation.
He hardly ate a few bites but was still sitting there to delay his punishment.
Time passed and it had been half an hour Abhishek was still sitting in the dining room and he flinched when Advait shouted from upstairs.
"Abhishek come right now in my room if you don't want to increase your punishment."
Abhishek reluctantly entered Advait's room and stood there bowing his head.
Advait was boring holes in his soul "kal kaha tha na maine test prepare karne ke liye?" He asked in a thrilled tone.
Abhishek was just looking down without answering Advait got furious after getting no response.
He stepped forward and slapped him hard on his cheek his face jerked to the other side tears started streaming down on his cheeks he quickly wiped them knowing it will only instigate Advait's anger.
"Kuch pucha maine?" Advait said in cold tone "kal jab test prepare karne ko kaha tha tab kya bola tha tune ki bhaiya mai baad me kar lunga ye kar lega tu cheating seriously Abhishek." He yelled at him.
"Tujhe pata hai na i hate cheating....kyu ki cheating?" Advait asked "sorry bhaiya" Abhishek whispered.
"Ye mere question ka answer nahi hai."
"Kyu ki cheating bol." He repeated.
"Test nahi aata tha." Abhishek replied knowing giving no answers will only fume his brother's anger.
"Tujhe kal maine kaha tha tab kyu nahi kiya koi doubt tha difficulty thi mujhse clear kar skta tha na but no you decided to cheat." Advait whacked his back.
Abhishek was controlling his tears but few sobs left from his mouth.
"Jitni mehnat ye chits banane me ki hai na utni mehnat padhai me ki hoti to iski jarurat na padti." He again whacked him on his back.
"So..sorry bh.." Advait sharply cut him off "You'll be beta...you'll be sorry and i'll make sure of it." He said and took out a wooden ruler from a drawer.
Abhishek gulped seeing the ruler in his hand "bhaiy..." again he was cut off by Advait "shut up i don't want to hear a single word from your mouth." He hit the ruler on his arm making him shrieked in pain.
"Palms out." Advait ordered Abhishek hesitantly out his hands in front of him.
Advait hit hard on his left palm two times continuously. It stings badly his hand got turned red, Advait took his another hand and gave two hard hits on them too.
Abhishek was now crying badly "sorry bhaiya ab se kab...bhi cheating nahi kru..nga ache se pad...padhai karunga." He hiccuped crying badly.
Advait also had tears in his eyes his heart was aching looking at his brother's tears but he won't want his brothers to go on a wrong path and to keep them on line he had to become strict sometimes. He hugged him Abhishek buried his face in Advait's embrace he was constantly apologizing.
"Shh shaant hoja ab. " Advait caressed his back to soothe him after a few minutes he stopped crying and only few sobs left from his mouth.
Advait pulled him from the hug and made him sit on the bed and gave him a glass of water.
"Aap naraz ho?" Abhishek asked with watery eyes.
"bohot jyada." Advait eyed him.
"Sorry bhaiya aaj ke baad sach me kabhi cheating nahi karunga promise." He said with honesty in his voice.
"Pakka?" Advait extended his hand "pakka" Abhishek placed his hand over him and hugged him.
Advait left and returned with first-aid. He took out an ointment and applied it on his hand, his skin was very sensitive his hand was all red and bruised only from getting four hits.
Advait caressed his cheek which had a print of his fingers "jyada dard hora hai bacha?" He asked in guilt. He didn't want to slap him as he never does that but in his anger he did that.
"Ab nahi hora." Abhishek smiled and replied to reduce his bhaiya's guilt but in reality his cheek was on fire and it was stinging badly.
Abhishek put his head on his lap and Advait started stroking his hair "so jaa thodi der rest kar le uthne ke bad science ka test 3 baar likhna hai." He said making Abhishek's eyes widened.
"Bhaiyaa please na" Abhishek showed his puppy eyes to convince him but soon buried his face in his stomach after receiving a glare.
Abhishek fell into a deep slumber Advait gently placed his head on the pillow and covered him with the duvet.
His gaze fell on his red cheek "I'm sorry bachha" gently he placed a kiss on his cheek and left.
He decided not to go back to the office and took a half day off. Now he was preparing lunch making Abhishek's favorite food to pamper him soon Aditya and Arush returned from school.
"bhaiyaaa!" Both shouted looking at Advait at home at this time and hugged him Advait hugged them back.
"Kesa gaya aaj mere bachho ka din?" He ruffled their hair.
"Bohot acha aaj games periods tha maine bohot saare games khele." Arush replied showing his excitement making Advait chuckled.
"Aur apka din kesa gaya hm?" He asked taking aditya in his embrace "boring!" Aditya replied making a sad pout.
"Boring kyu?" Advait digged "Vanu mujhse phir se naraj ho gayi or wo baat nahi karti to mai kisi se baat nahi karta islie mai pura din akela betha raha." Aditya stated sadly hiding his face in his bhaiya's chest.
Advait and Aditya started laughing "awle mera baby aise sad nahi hote agar Vanu naraz hai to aap usey mana lena wo maan jayegi hm." Advait pulled aditya's cheek.
Then he took both of them to their room helped them to change and made them and Abhishek ate the lunch then they took a nap to relax and Abhishek started studying.
Abhishek was writing his test in his room. Advait and Reyansh were sitting in the living room Arush was sitting on Advait's lap clinging to him and on the other side Aditya was trying hard to pacify Vanya who was very angry with him.
"Vanu please maan jaa." Aditya showed his puppy eyes.
"No" Vanya turned her head to the other side.
"Tu agar mujhse baat karegi na to mai tujhe ek ice cream khilaunga." He offered to try to gain her forgiveness.
"Tu kya mujhe laalchi samajhta hai jo mai ek ice cream ke liye maan jaungi." Vanya replied angrily.
Aditya pouted.
"do ice cream khilayega to bata?" She asked sheepishly.
Aditya happily nodded his head "okay pakka do ice creams khilaunga."
"Nahi mujhe abhi khana hai" She demanded.
"Abhi nahi kal school ke bahar khayenge." He said.
"Nahi mujhe ek abhi khani hai ek kal khaungi." She stubbornly said.
"Okay ruk mai abhi aata hu." Aditya ran to his room and picked up his piggy bank. He took money from it and returned to her.
"Kaha gaya tha?" She asked raising her eyebrow "paise lene gya tha." He said lightly tapping her forehead.
"Acha chal chalte hain." She said and started walking aditya stopped her "kaha jari h?"
"Ice cream khane tune hi to abhi bola." Vanya said simply.
"Par maine akele jane ko nahi bola bhaiya aur bhai ke sath chalne ko bola tha." He explained.
"Hatt pagal bhaiya mujhe ice cream nahi khane denge." She exclaimed.
"Theek hai to phir kal khayenge school me kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega." He gave an idea.
"Nahi mujhe abhi khani hai." She stomped her foot "hum log chalte hai na yahi paas me to hai jaldi se jaa kar aa jayenge." She pleaded to him.
"Vanu bhaiya ko pata chala na to bohot maar padegi." Aditya said.
"kuch nahi hoga kisi ko pata nahi chalega tu chal na please." She pleaded showing her puppy eyes.
"Par tu..." Aditya cut off by her "tu chal raha hai ya mai akele jau?" She threatened him.
Aditya sighed "chal raha hu."
They cautiously went out of the mansion to an ice cream shop. In the mansion advait brought out some snacks for everyone so he called for Aditya and Vanya but got no response.
So he started searching everywhere in the house but they were not there he told Reyansh.
He went to check the garden but it was also empty.
They both panicked and about to go outside to search for them but then their gaze fell on Aditya and Vanya who were entering the mansion carefully so that no one could catch them.
They saw in the front their brothers were glaring at them "idhar aao." Advait firmly said.
They took small steps towards them and stand in front of their brothers "kaha gaye the dono?" Reyansh asked.
"garden me khel rahe the." vanya smoothly lied but she wasn't aware that they checked the garden before and they weren't there.
Reyansh twisted her ear "garden me ha itni easily jhoot kese bol leti ho tum vanya."
"Oww bhaiya dard hora h chor do." Reyansh left her ear "kaha gaye the aditya?" Advait firmly asked him.
"Ice cream khane." He said looking down his voice above a whisper.
"Akele seriously tum log hume bata sakte the na hum le jate bachhe ho abhi tum dono kuch ho jata to?" Reyansh scolded them.
Advait was sternly looking at aditya and he was looking at the floor in fear "sorry bhaiya" He whispered.
"mana kiya hai na bahar akele jane se?" Advait strictly asked.
Aditya slowly nodded "to kyu gaye fir?" Advait raised his voice.
"bhaiya please adi ko mat daanto wo mana kar raha tha maine usey force kiya tha." Vanya confessed.
Reyansh again twisted her ear "khud to galat karti ho aur sath me dusro ko bhi force karti ho."
"Bhai mai apni marzi se gaya tha usne mujhe force nahi kiya please chord do uska kaan usey pain ho raha hai." Aditya pleaded.
Advait glared at him and he looked down mumbling a sorry.
"Go stand in the corner." Advait pointed towards the corner.
Aditya went to stand in the corner without arguing as he knew he was at fault.
He stood in the corner facing the wall "raise your hands." Advait announced loudly Aditya quickly raised his hands up in the air.
"Why are you standing here?" Reyansh asked Vanya she looked up at him "go stand beside him." He instructed.
"Bhaiya" She showed her teary eyes to melt him but Reyansh glared at her in response, reluctantly she went and stood beside Aditya raising her hands.
"Sorry meri wajah se tujhe bhi punishment mili." She apologized.
"It's okay vanu tere liye to mai koi bhi punishment le sakta hu ye to bohot choti si hai." Aditya replied sincerely.
"Chal nautanki chup chap khada reh abhi." vanya said.
"Aree sachhi tujhe trust nahi ho to try kar lena." Aditya told her "ek tu hi to meri best friend hai mai tere liye kuch bhi kar sakta hu." He expressed.
"Kuch bhi?" She asked for assurance "kuch bhi." He replied promising her.
"Okay to jab kuch chahiye hoga to mai tujhe bataungi aur tujhe wo karna padega tune promise kiya hai todna mat." She said.
"Okay promise tu jo bolegi wo karunga." He assured her.
"Chal abhi baate band kar aur thoda rone ki acting kar taaki humari punishment jaldi khatam ho jaye." Vanya said dramatically making a crying face.
Aditya laughed at her and they both started giggling looking at each other.
Advait become a renowned businessman he made his name in the business world and everyone fears him in the business world because of his strategic ways to crack the deals. He became a ruthless man for the outer world but always a softie for his brothers.
It was a morning in the malhotra mansion advait was entering the mansion after his jogging he was sweating he directly went to his room and removed his T-shirt his muscles and abs came into view he hopped into the shower water cascaded down on his body giving his body a charming glow the water droplets on his face made his features flawless his jawline and perfect lips made him look more attractive.
He showered and changed into black pants and white shirt with folded sleeves. He fixed his hairs and left the room, then he went to Abhishek's room to wake him up.
He entered and saw a sixteen year old boy sleeping with his books scattered on the bed. Advait picked up the books and set them on the beside table.
"Abhi uth beta school jana hai." Advait said caressing his hair.
Abhishek whined "uth jaa beta late ho jayega warna." Advait gently reminded him.
Abhishek slugly got up and hugged Advait "good morning bhaiya."
"good morning beta" Advait ruffled his hair.
"chal jaa ab freshen up ho aur jaldi se neeche aa jaa." Advait instructed "okayyy" Abhishek kissed his bhaiya's cheek and left.
Advait smiled looking at him and went to wake up Aditya. He entered his room and widened his eyes looking at the condition of the room it was all a mess in the room. Everything was scattered around the room, he got angry witnessing the room condition.
"Adi uth jaldi." Advait said sharply.
Aditya whined and turned to the other side "adi jaldi uth ye kya halat banayi huyi hai room ki" Advait scolded.
Aditya woke up but acted like sleeping to prevent himself from scoldings "adi mujhe ache se pata hai tu uth chuka hai isliye ye drama band kar." Advait warned.
Aditya meekly turned his head with a sheepish smile "oww bhaiya lagri hai chord dijiye." Advait gripped his ear.
"Ye kya halat banayi huyi hai room ki ha" Advait gave a twist to his ear.
"Sorry saaf oww...kar dunga kaan to chordein mera bahar aa jayega oww" Aditya pleaded in pain.
Advait left his ear, instantly aditya rubbed his ear "mai nahi baat karunga aap se subah subah itni jor se kaan khich diya mera." Aditya pouted.
"Theek hai mat karna baat ja raha hu phir mai." Advait got up and started going.
"Bhaiyaa" Aditya whined Advait chuckled and turned back. He picked him up and kissed his ear "ab theek hai?" Advait asked.
Aditya nodded "okay chalo ab ready ho jao aur ye room clean karke neeche aao." Advait ordered and dropped him to the bathroom in his arms.
Now advait entered in his most pampered kid's room. He was sleeping with a cute pout on his face.
Advait sat beside him and took him on his lap "mera bacha uth jao school jane ke liye late ho jayega."
Arush hugged him "bhaiya aaj school na jau please?" He requested cutely still closing his eyes.
"Kyu nahi jana mere aru ko school?" Advait asked matching his tone.
"Aise hi please bas aaj chutti karne do." He requested, showing his puppy eyes.
"No bache koi genuine reason hota to mai pakka chutti karne deta but aise hi mann nahi hai ye koi reason nahi hai." Advait firmly said.
Arush pouted Advait picked him up and entered the bathroom. He helped him to get ready.
After fifteen minutes everyone was settled on the dining table Arush was sitting on Advait's lap and Advait was feeding him.
"Bhaiya please." Arush again showed his puppy eyes to Advait.
"No aru maine already mana kar diya na ache bachhe roj school jate hai aur aap to mere good boy ho na." Arush snuggled in his chest and nodded.
"Kya tu roj roj same school na jane ka drama karta hai" Aditya scowled.
"Adi uski class me teri class ki tarah koi vanu nahi hai na jiske chakkar me wo roj school jaye." Abhishek teased.
"Oh shut up bhai!" Aditya made a sheepish face.
"Bas ab shaanti se breakfast karo sab." Advait said.
They had their breakfast and Advait drove them to the school. He stopped the car in front of the school.
Reyansh was there he also came to drop Vanya. Aditya quickly hopped down of the car and ran towards her.
Aditya hugged her and she hugged him back "I missed you vanu." He said.
"Hum kal hi toh mile the buddhu." Vanya tapped his forehead.
Aditya smiled sheepishly and Reyansh glared at him. Advait noticed the interaction and he chuckled.
"Adi thoda dhyan vani se hata kar padhai me bhi lagao mujhe pata chala kal apke test me 4 marks aaye." Reyansh sarcastically commented.
"Ohh reyansh bhai isme meri kya galti wo kya hai na jab vanu mere sath hoti hai to mera dhyan kahi aur lag hi nahi pata." Aditya sassed.
"Tu naa... " Reyansh glared at him "chal vanu late ho raha hai class ke liye." Aditya ran holding her hand before Reyansh could complete his threat.
Abhishek and Arush also followed them and Advait chuckled loudly looking at Reyansh expressions.
"Mai bata raha hu advait ye tera bhai kisi din bhot maar khayega mujhse." Reyansh feigned irritation.
Advait laughed loudly Reyansh also started laughing and they both went their ways.
