ShivOmRu : A Bond Beyond Brotherhood

#36

Annika and Bhavya stood in the entrance of the Oberoi villa, cluelessly.

"Di, andar chale ?" ("Shall we go inside ?") Bhavya asked after a minute.

Annika nodded and walked inside while Khanna ordered a guy to carry the luggage.

"Aayiye." ("Come this way.") Khanna said as he led them inside the villa.

Inside, OmRuRi AriTya were waiting for them.

"Welcome." They all smiled as soon as Khanna entered followed by the Rathore sisters.

Annika and Bhavya smiled at Aryan and Bhavya ran into Nitya giving her a hug, then she caught Gauri in a hug.

"Bhavya ?" Rudy amused when he saw Bhavya for the first time.

"Rudra ?" Bhavya gave a confused smile. "Tum yaha kaise ?" ("What are you doing here ?")

"Yeh mera ghar hai ?" ("This is my home ?") Rudy replied but it came out as a question.

"Tumhara ? Matlab tum Shivaay Singh Oberoi ke..." ("Your home ? Means you're Shivaay Singh Oberoi's...") Bhavya trailed.

"Sabse chota bhai hu." ("Youngest brother.") Rudy smiled.

"Oh." Bhavya nodded in understanding.

"Aur tum yaha..." ("And you're here cause...") Rudy trailed off.

"Annika di meri di hai." ("Annika di is my elder sister.") Bhavya jerked a thumb at Annika.

"Oh." Rudy said and chuckled.

Rudy looked up at the chandelier with a big smile and said into his mind, 'Thank you God, thanks a lot ! I had requested you to help me befriend Bhavya but you're so kind that you directly sent her to live with me.'

Om nudged Rudy, before leaning toward him.

Rudy came out of his trance and saw that Bhavya had busied herself in talking to Gauri and Nitya.

"Daat kyu dikha rahe ho ?" ("Why are you showing your teeth ?") Om whispered asked.

"K.. kuch nahi O." ("N..nothing O.") Rudy blushed a bit.

"Aj kal bada sharma rahe ho Mr Rudra, kya baat hai ? Hume bhi toh batao." ("You're blushing a lot nowadays, what's the reason ? Tell me as well.") Om teased.

Rudy just blushed more making Om chuckle.

"Chalo Annika, Bhavya, mein tumhe tumhara room dikha deta hu." ("Come Annika, Bhavya, I'll show you both to your rooms.") Aryan smiled making Annika and Bhavya nod and follow him.

Bhavya was just unpacking her stuff when a knock sounded on her bedroom door.

She mumbled a 'come in' and Annika walked inside with a stressed face on.

"Di ? Kya hua ? Aap itni stressed kyu lag rahi hai ?" ("Di ? What's wrong ? Why do you look so stressed ?") Bhavya frowned slightly. "Kisi ne kuch kaha aapse ?" ("Did someone say something to you ?")

Annika shook her head with a sigh and sat on Bhavya's bed.

"Kuch toh bolo di, kya hua ?" ("Say something di, what happened ?") Bhavya pushed again before placing a comforting hand on Annika's shoulder.
