Aarav's Pov

I was talking with one of his men asking them to send a picture,when Rudra jumped into my lap, touching my face , maybe checking for his beard and moustache. Vihaan also used to the same, both these brothers are exact copy. He tried looking into my phone and I knew it's not right for him to see what I saw but maybe he got a glance of it. Quickly turning my phone upside down I focused back , knowing very well Rudra will caught it and he did as well.

My phone fell in all this , but gladly it switched off and no one saw the photo. Being playfull, I decided to run after him but stopped when Veer entered inside. My heart clenched for a moment but I am not an emotional fool.

Mami sa was going to call Vihaan and I decided to take advantage of this moment, everyone will be quite busy at dinner today and I will be done with my work by then. Standing up from my place , intentionally placing my foot on top of his to get a reaction but he didn't even flinched. It's cold war now!

"Mami Sa, I have to go somewhere. I might be late so don't wait for me at dinner." I decided to inform her or else she will keep calling me.

"What is that important at this time ?"

"Something very important" It took me a while to think and reply but it's the best reply I got.

"Atleast meet Vihaan , he must be coming down"

"I will meet him later but it's urgent , Mami sa. I am really sorry"

I rubbed my hands at the back of my neck to hide my reaction. Vihaan is not going to talk from me for atleast 2 days had if I didn't meet him but it's the only time I will get.

"Don't think twice before crossing anyone and any limit for truth."

"Family is not superior for a ruler, he only has one family , his people. The path of truth and kidness is filled with obstacles but that's what a ruler's life is. Prove yourself worthy of the throne !"

Ma sa word's ringed in my ears and tears entered in my eyes. Wipping them away before the driver could see , I closed my eyes. Allowing myself to go back to past. How happy we were! Everything changed now, Ma and papa both left us , my chipmunk is no longer with me, Veer is not the boy I used to play with and Yuvaan is no longer the boy Aashu used to call Yuvi.

I wonders what will she think when she will be back with us. All her brothers are no longer the same,but I promise we can be the same boys for her. She even didn't got a chance to meet Rudra and both of them doesn't even knows about each other. She would have made such a face after knowing she is no longer the smallest one.

But when? Till when we have to wait for her? Apart from me and Veer , maybe most of them have stopped hoping for her return. Maybe they thinks she is now a star. But my heart just doesn't agrees to this fact, Ma sa would have told me if she would have gone to live with them. Each night I only sees two stars and I am happy that third one is missing. Each time I closes my eyes those memories makes their way and I can't help myself in it.
