Chapter 24
Advait was standing in the living room, he was on the call with his secretary when Shreya again bumped into him. She was about to fall down so she extended her hand to hold him to prevent her from falling but he backed away a few steps instead of holding her hand.
She fell down on the floor with a thud and a loud scream escaped off her mouth. Advait closed his eyes in irritation while shutting his ears with hands.
Everyone including kaka came into the living room hearing the loud scream. Reyansh found Shreya on the floor and started laughing loudly followed by the Aditya and Arush.
Abhishek quickly crouched down and helped her to stand up, a hiss left her lips when she was standing, "Aapko chot to nahi lagi?"
She shook her head glaring at Advait who was standing there like nothing had happened. He was not even laughing, his face was straight and cold.
Reyansh clutched his stomach while laughing, "Tum-tum giri kaise?"
Shreya sharply looked at him, "Pehle has lo aap phir baat karna."
Kaka brought a glass of water and handed her, she took a few sips and thanked him.
"Aap theek hain, beta?" Kaka politely asked.
"Ji kaka." She said with a slight nod.
Aditya and Arush were still laughing but Advait snapped at them, "Bohot jyada hasi aa rahi hai?"
They zip their mouths but Reyansh was in no control, he was hysterically laughing looking at Shreya and her expression made him laughing more loudly.
Shreya turned towards Advait, "Aap unhe kya daant rahe hain mai aapki wajah se hi giri hoon." She accusingly said.
"Meri wajah se?" He raised his brow.
"Ji aapki wajah se sunne me koi problem hai?" She angrily said.
"Well problem to mujhe aap me lag rahi hai par dikhne me tabhi to har time girti padti rehti hain." He taunted.
"Mai girti padti nahi rehti aap humesha mere raste me aa jate hain mujhe dhakka dene." She pointed her finger at him.
"For your information mai yahaan shaanti se khada hua tha, aap mujhse aa kar takrayi." He also pointed his finger at her.
All were looking at them with interest as if some movie was playing on.
"To aap mujhe bacha bhi to sakte the na." She blamed him.
"Mai kyu bachau aapke according to mai ek zaalim insaan hoon na jo baccho par zulm karta hai." He said repeating her previous words for him.
She narrowed her eyes, "Iska matlab aap mujhse uss baat ka badla le rahe the?"
He shrugged not replying to anything.
"Kitni bachkaani harkate karte hain aap." She scoffed.
"What? what kani?" He said confusingly not understanding anything.
"BACHKAANI." She said exaggerating the word, "matlab baccho wali harkate."
The brothers shared a look of disbelief as it was the first time someone was talking to their bhaiya like this.
"Oh so you mean mai-mai bachkaani I mean baccho wali harkate karta hoon." He said pointing to himself as if challenging her to agree.
But she nodded, "Ji haan aap bachkaani harkate karte hain."
"Wow!!" He dramatically clapped his hands, "Jaise din bhar idhar udhar girte padte rehna to badi sensible logo ki harkat hai." He sarcastically said.
Abhishek whispered in Reyansh's ear, "Bhai kuch karein warna ye log raat tak aise hi ladte rahenge mujhe party me bhi jaana hai."
Reyansh gave him a bored look, "Itni acha show chord kar tu party me jaana chahta hai."
"Bhai yaar please na chup karayein inhe." Abhishek whined.
"Tujhe mai khush acha nahi lagta na?" Reyansh replied but Abhishek glared at him.
"Okay fine karata hoon chup." Reyansh rolled his eyes.
"Aap kya sochte hain aap ye badi badi aankhein dikhayenge to mai dar jaungi." Shreya shouted.
Reyansh jumped in between them, "Aree bilkul nahi darogi kyu darogi kisne kaha darogi."
"Aap hato saamne se bhai aaj mujhe inse baat karne hi do." She told Reyansh.
"Samajhte kya hain ye khud ko, CEO honge apne ghar me." She blurred out but Advait raised his brow, "I-i mean apne ghar ke bahar."
Advait's phone started ringing, he picked up the call and left the place after passing her a last glare.
"Aree dar kar kaha bhaag rahe hain? Himmat hai to idhar aa kar baat kariye." She shouted behind him.
Abhishek quickly closed her mouth, "Kya kar rahi hain di please chup ho jaiye."
"Kyu chup ho jau, mai to bolungi." She snapped at him.
"Okay bol lena par phir kabhi aaj ke liye itna kaafi hai, please." Aditya said from behind and lazily slumped down on the chair.
Shreya glared at him, "Ye choti copy bhi bilkul inki tarah hai, akdu."
Aditya looked offended, "But maine kya kiya?"
She scoffed at him and went upstairs followed by Abhishek.

Advait and Reyansh were sitting in the garden, they both were doing their work sipping their coffee in between.
Reyansh was glancing at him from time to time, Advait noticed his stare but ignored it because he knew what he was about to ask.
Reyansh stared at him for two minutes, Advait shut down his laptop with a thud, "What?"
"What what?" Reyansh shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"Kya chahiye kyu ghoor raha hai itni der se?" Advait asked irritatingly.
"Mujhe pyar ho gaya hai tujhse islie tujhe nihar raha hoon." He batted his eyes lovingly.
Advait picked up a file and whacked it on his head.
"Oww maar kyu raha hai?" Reyansh rubbed his head.
Advait ignored him.
"Tu itni jaldi irritate kyu ho jata hai?" Reyansh said half teasingly.
"Pata nahi." He rubbed his forehead.
"Shreya ke sath kya scene hai tera?" Reyansh asked after a minute.
"What?" Advait yelled.
Reyansh quickly changed his words, "Me-mera matlab ki tu uspe itna bhadka hua kyu tha?"
"Wo ladki pagal hai mental problem hai usey bina kuch sune bas apni baat bolti rehti hai khud ke scenarios banati hai." He said frustratingly.
"Bol rahi thi mujhe child abuse ke case me jail karayegi, the audacity." He gritted his teeth.
Reyansh laughed out loud, "What? Child abuse?"
He said between laughing, "Waise baat to sahi hai tu child abuse karta to hai."
"Hasna band kar tu hi lekar aaya hai wo antique piece ko." Advait glared.
"I already warned you, darling." Reyansh chuckled.
"Stop calling me that." He shot him a look.
"What? Darling?" Reyansh teased.
"Reyaaaanshhh." Advait warned.
"Sorry darling." Reyansh said and left, Advait threw a file at him from behind but he dodged it.

Advait was in his room teaching Aditya and Arush. They were completing their homeworks. Arush was giving him the hard time but as always he ignored his tantrums and focused on teaching him.
He looked at his watch to check on the time it was 8:30 P.M.
He looked at both of them, "Tum dono apna homework complete karo mai Abhi ko drop karke aata hoon then we'll have dinner okay."
They both nodded their heads obediently, "Mai jab wapas aau homework complete hona chahiye, Aru." He warned him and he nodded his head.
He pecked their heads and left the room.

Meanwhile, Abhishek was getting ready for the party, he wore a white T-shirt layering with a black leather jacket and blank pant. He took out his new pair of branded shoe and wore them. Lastly he sprayed himself with a mint fragrance perfume.
He came into the living room, "Bhaiyaaaa jaldi aaiye mujhe late ho raha hai." He shouted.
"Aa raha hoon." Advait shouted from upstairs.
Soon, they settled in the car and Advait drove to his friend's place. Abhishek was silently humming songs while looking outside the window. Advait's full focus was on the road ahead but an unsettling frown was settled on his face.
"Abhi, 12 baje se ek minute bhi late mat karna." Advait reminded him.
"Nahi karunga, bhaiya." He replied in a cool tone.
Advait was still looking tensed but tried to masked it off, "Mai to 12 baje aa jaunga magar aapke chehre par abhi se 12 kyu baje pade hain?" Abhishek exclaimed.
Advait glared at him offensively, "Mai normal hoon." He muttered.
"Hm dikh raha hai." Abhishek gave him a pointed look.
Advait sighed and went silent. After only a minute he hesitantly said, "Abhi?"
Abhishek snapped his head at him, "Ji bhaiya?"
"Party me drinks to nahi hongi na?" He asked.
Abhishek thought to tease him, "hongi na kyu nahi hongi bina drinks ke kaisi party?" He said with a serious tone.
Advait stopped the car with a halt shouting, "What?"
"Kya hua?" Abhishek asked placing his hand over his chest.
"Ye baat tune mujhe pehle kyu nahi batayi?" Advait glared.
"Drinks se mera matlab tha juices, virgin juices." Abhishek explained.
Advait whacked him, "idiot." and again started the car.
Abhishek laughed out, "Kya bhaiya aap bhi party uske ghar me hai uske parents bhi honge waha par."
"Still it's a night party so I thought argh never mind." Advait mumbled but shooked his head.
"Don't you trust me, bhaiya ji?" Abhishek asked batting his eyes cutely.
Advait chuckled, "I do trust you, beta ji."
Advait stopped the car in front of his friend's house and stepped out of the car. He pecked Abhishek's head mumbling, "Enjoy!"
Abhishek waved off his hand, "bye, bhaiya." Advait smiled and Abhishek walked away inside.
As soon as he walked away, he called someone and in three minutes six guards stood in front of him.
He instructed them to positioned themselves outside the house in every side and when he was satisfied with his brother's security. He drove to his home.
