BROTHERS IN ARMS

16• Mess duty

Kunj was very sleepy but to not upset his brother more, he went to the mess.
He entered the mess and saw a tall, young muscular boy of around karan 's age or little order than him ,was standing there waiting for kunj.

Kunj went towards him and saluted.
Kunj- 'Cadet kunj sharma, first year reporting for mess duty sir' he introduced

Aryan- 'I know who you are cadet. Now we don't have time for all this formal stuff, so cut the crap and get onto work fast ' he said in a hurry

Suddenly all the sleep escaped his eyes and he started following all the commands that aryan was giving him.

Aryan- 'Chop all these vegetables' he said while poiting at the stack of vegetables kept at one corner.

Kunj 's eyes widened and he said 'Itni saari? ' he asked

Aryan - 'Hanji beta itni saari. Ab chalo kaam pe lag jao jaldi se ' he said

Kunj nodded and started taking out the vegetables from the vegetable bags.

Aryan - 'Faster kunj. Iss speed se kaam karega toh sab cadets aaj breakfast nhi ker paayenge' he said

Kunj- 'Yes sir, sir i am trying my best ' he said

Aryan- 'Oh! Is it your best? I think I should call colonel here. Maybe he can motivate you. Isn't kunj? ' he asked

Kunj immediately shook his head and said 'Sorry sir. I will improve sir '
And started working faster.

Aryan - 'Dekh colonel ke naam se kitna jaldi kaam kerne lag gya tu. Yaha ka ek ek bacha sirf unhi se darta hai ' he laughed while shaking his head

Kunj pouted and said 'Voh hai hi itne strict. Ab isme meri galati thodi hai. ' he whined

Aryan- 'Haan idea toh colonel ka tha bahar jaane ka haina? Aap toh bilkul innocent hai. Aapki toh galati hi nhi thi haina? ' he asked

Kunj sulked and said 'But uski punishment toh de hi di already unhone hume. Aapko pta hai kitna maara unhone hume '

Aryan laughed at his innocence.

Kunj- 'Mai toh yaha soldier ban ne aaya tha, chef bna ke rkh diya bhai... ' he stopped immediately after realizing his mistake and covered his mouth with both of his hands.

Kunj- 'I.. I mean sir.. Sir ne ' he stuttered.

Aryan smiled and came very close to him and whispered 'don't worry. Mujhe pta hai tumhare chote se secret ke baare mai. Tumhare priye bade bhai ne khud aake btaya tha mujhe. Tension mat le kisi ko nhi btaunga'

Kunj looked at him with wide eyes and said 'Bhai ne aapko btayi yeh baat ? '

Aryan nodded

Kunj- 'Sachi? ' he asked

Aryan made an offended face and said 'Tujhe doubt hai toh chal tere pyaare bhai se hi puchne chalte hai ' he said while dragging kunj lightly.

Kunj immediately backed off and said 'Aree aap toh bura hi maan gye. Sorry sorry. I don't doubt you sir '

Aryan started laughing and said 'Relax kiddo, I was just kidding. Don't freak out.'

And kunj sighed in relief.

Kunj- 'Aapne toh dara hi diya tha sir ' he said while keeping his hand over his chest.

Aryan- 'bhaiya... Bhaiya bulaya ker. Mai tera senior thodi hu ' he said

Kunj- 'But ho toh aap senior hi. And agar mujhe aapko informally bulana bhi ho toh uncle bolunga na, bhaiya kehlaane ki umar thodi hai aapki. ' he teased
