When Rivals Fall

Chapter 24 - Teasings and lot more

"Muskura bhi de to mujhe lage jeetli koi lottery
Dil ki harkatein, meri samajh ke paar hai ji
Ishq hai ise ya mausami bukhar hai ji
Pehli baar hai ji , Pehli baar hai ji "
                                ~ Pehli baar

Author's Pov

Suddenly anayra entered leaving both of them shocked and in awkward position.

Anayra's eyes widened as she took in the scene-Vedika's flushed face, Ayaan's smug smile, and the strange tension lingering in the air.

"Oye hoye," Anayra drawled dramatically, stepping further into the room. "Main toh bas apko bulane aayi thi pr yaha toh kuch aur hi chal ra hai"

Vedika's eyes widened in horror. "Anayra!" she hissed, rushing forward to grab her sister's arm. "Aisa kuch bhi nahi hai! Tu galat samajh rahi hai!"

Anayra raised a brow, clearly not buying a word of it. "Haan haan, tabhi to ap itna red hore ho , yeh galat samajhna hi toh hota hai, na?" She winked mischievously.

Vedika groaned, dragging a hand over her face. "It wasn't like that! He was just being... annoying! As usual!"

Ayaan chuckled from behind, thoroughly entertained. "Haan anayra hamari usual hate vali baatein chalri hai , aur kuch nhi hainaa?"

Anayra said immediately, " Na mein nhi manti ye sb because I ship you both"

"Anayra!" Vedika nearly screamed, eyes darting nervously between her sister and Ayaan. "Main teri behen hoon, ya dushman?"

Anayra grinned, tossing an arm around Vedika's shoulder. "Tu meri behen hi hai, isliye toh full rights se tease kar rahi hoon."

Ayaan smirked, arms still crossed, clearly enjoying the sisterly banter. "Honestly, I like this version of Anayra. She has great taste."

Vedika said in a loud voice, " just shut up ayaan , aur tu anayra beta tu chal mere sath niche vrna bohot maar khayegi"

Vedika dragged anayra while anayra shouted loudly, " Ayaan bhaiya , isko continue krenge baad mein "

When Vedika and Anayra went into room , they saw chelsi engrossed in TV while kashvi was smiling looking at phone,

Vedika narrowed her eyes. "Why are you smiling like that? kuch toh baat hai madam"

Before Kashvi could react, Vedika swiftly snatched the phone from her hands.

"Vedikaa!" Kashvi gasped, trying to grab it back.

But it was too late. Vedika's eyes widened as she saw Kaustubh's Instagram profile on the screen.

"Oh ho ho! Stalking Kaustubh, are we?" Vedika said, smirking devilishly.

Anayra burst out laughing. "Caught in 4K!, mein aati hu thodi der me , kuch kaam yaad aagya"

Kashvi covered her face with her hands. "I hate all of you."

Vedika squinted suspiciously at Kashvi. "Okay wait-why are you glowing today? Smiling at your phone like it's your boyfriend?"

Kashvi tried to snatch the phone again, clearly embarrassed. "It's nothing!"

Vedika raised a brow. "You're definitely behaving different today, aur merse jhut mt bol beta , bata kya hua hai"

Kashvi hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath. "Fine. I... I proposed Kaustubh yesterday."

A moment of stunned silence followed.

Chelsi's head snapped towards them so fast it looked like her neck cracked. "YOU DID WHAT?!"
