As Arjun is giving them instructions, Arav phone rang startling them, excusing himself he went aside to talk, returned back.....all noticed his hesitation but Arav without looking at them, called "Bhai!" with hesitation N forwarded the mobile.
Arjun raised his eyebrow taking the mobile, gave a stern glare to Arav.....Holding mobile near his ear, "What the hell Joseph! Haven't I made clear that I'm not interested to talk when I ignored your calls!" yelled loudly making everyone jump in their places.
"Aaj Joseph ki kair nahi!" Swayu mumbled to his friends which the F-5 listened, "Who is Joseph?" Aryamaan questioned.
Looking at them, "Bhai's PA!" Rey replied.
Arjun controlled his anger as manik again stirred in his sleep, (Kitna sotha hai yeh ladka!)
"I don't care! How many times have I told you not to distrub on Sunday! Let it be a warning Joseph, next time you commit this again I will make sure you are out of SE even before you blink your eye! Now, handle those clients ... No appointment to anyone till tomorrow, Am I clear!" Arjun growled into phone gritting his teeth.
Hearing his stammered yes n apologies Arjun ended the call, glanced at Arav sternly...... threw the mobile angrily on the floor which broke into pieces.......shocking them, "Arav .... Kitni baar kaha tujhe, aaj ke din koi kaam ki baat nahi hoga ghar mei! Agli baar yeh galti karo... I will make sure tum office mei ek hafte tak kadam nahi rakhpaoge!"
"Sorry bhai!" Arav mumbled slowly as he broke the house rule, They all know ........ It is their parents rule which Arjun made sure everyone followed in the house..... as he never made them feel their parents loss....In short he is their everything.
Manik slowly opened his eyes, noticed his bhaiyu angry face mumbled, "Kya hua Bhaiyu aap bhai pe gussa kyu horahe?" glancing at Aarav dejected face with frown.
Hearing him how can our Abhi lose a chance to tease him, "Really mannu! Bhai itna zor se chilaya phir bhi nahi uta tum! Itna neendh atha kaha se tujhe!"
Pouting at him, " agar aapko neendh nahi ayega toh mujhe bhi nahi sona hai kya? " He huffed.
"Mei insaano ke jaise sotha huh raat ko... Teri tarah dinbhar nahi.... Mujhe toh doubt horaha ki tu kahi pichle janam mei khumbakaran toh nahi!" Abhi teased with a smirk.
"Sahi kaha bhai! Iska aur neendh ka purana natha hai!" Viren hified chuckling at him.
Making a face, "Bhaiyuuuu!" He whined with wide eyes looking up at Arjun innocently.
"Awww! Mera baby gussa hogaya!" Abhi chuckled pinching his cheeks.
Manik pushed his hands, grumbled "chodo bhai mei chota baby todi na huh!"
Laughing at him, "tu kitna bhi bada hoh.... Rahoge humhare baby panda! Dekh abhi bhi tere gaal chotasa baby ke tarah hai!" Abhi poked his cheek earning a glare which is very cute instead of anger.....watching it Nandini looked at him with awe.
Arjun enjoying their banter glanced at Arav who is silent sighed, ruffled his hair gently "Bacha abh utho.... Jao aur fresh hokhe todi der padhai karo!" He said looking down at him.
As soon as he listened, Manik made a face, started whining "Bhaiyuuu!"
"Mannu koi bahana nahi! Chal uth abh!" Said Arjun in firm voice very well aware of his antics.
As soon as the gang listened about studying, looked at eachother giving horrified looks.
"Bhai .. abh hum chalte hai! Bahut important kaam hai!" Rey stammered n stood up....whose suit others followed.
"Ha ... Bahut important kaam hai! Bye Bhaiya, bye mani!" N tried to escape but before they could take a step Arjun stopped them, "Stop n turn around!"
The six immediately turned giving a sheepish smile. Standing in front of them with arms crossed, "Mei achitarah janta huh kounsa important kaam hai! Padhai ke naam sunhte hih bahana chalu .... Chupchap reading room mei chalo and start studying! Warna I won't give permission for your clg trip! Now move!" Arjun told sternly.
Nodding they all quickly moved not to see his wrath n they are all excited for the trip ... Manik who was enjoying looking at their faces, gulped as his brother's gaze fell on him....
"Tu kyu bhatesi dhika raha.... Get fresh n be in reading room within 10 min! I want you to complete the accounting chapter today!" Arjun stated with a raised eyebrow.
Manik made a face listening to his least fav subject..... Earning a chuckle from Abhi, "Jaa... Jaa bahut maza ayega!" But stopped immediately as Arjun gave a stern glare. Grinning at him, Manik moved before his brother gives any initiative.
Shaking head at their daily drama..... Arjun then turned to F-5, " Make yourself comfortable! If you want to go out then I can arrange a vehicle.... There are many places you can visit in London!"
F-4 nodded, except the other three.... Arjun immediately arranged a car for them! After their exit Arjun stood before Arav, "Aru!" wrapped his arms around as he hugged him.
"Sorry bhai!" He mumbled in thick voice. Caressing his back, "Bas bacha .... Mei naraz nahi huh! Don't be sad! Acha nahi lagega mujhe!" He whispered consoling him.
Arav nodded with a small smile. Patting his cheeks Arjun kissed his forehead, "Jao fresh hojao.... Abhi tum bhi jao!"
Let's see what our Manik n his friends are doing. As soon as manik joined them in the reading room all sat on the couches in a circle with books spread in middle.
Reading room
"Mani ghoorne se kuch nahi hoga chupchap padai kar!" Viren told watching Manik who was glaring at the book.
"Mujhe nahi padna.... Kitna boring hai!" He whined leaning back, as it's the only subject where he struggle.
"Boring toh hai par padhna toh padega!" Piya mumbled looking at the book.
"Haa! Because kal we are having test! Aur iss baar hum skip bhi nahi karsakthe because sir khud bhai ko intimate kiya test ke baare mei!" Rey pouted reminding them.
"So, apna dramas bandh karo aur padhai pe dyaan dho!" Sharon glared at swayam who was disturbing her.
Not having a option they started studying..... Manik looking at the page frowned as he couldn't understand the concept.
"Tumlog continue karo...mujhe ek aur book chahiye!" N moved towards the racks.
He searched for a book noticed it was on top shelf jumped to get it but his hand didnot reach it. Looking around he took a stool and climbed on it balancing himself.
Arjun came inside to look at them...frowned not finding Manik.
Before they could ask,
"Mannu!" Arav shouted with horrified look, startling them....followed his gaze ..... Their voice stuck in their throat as he was only standing on his foot tips.
Manik who pulled the book with force got mis balanced yelled with fear, "Ahhh!" closing his eyes tightly.
But before he could touch the ground..... three strong pair of arms stopped his fall.....whose heart literally jumped out watching him fall ...... were instantly there to catch him.
Manik slowly opened his eyes in fear smiled as his lifelines protected him. They gently made him stand, "Mannu tujhe chot toh nahi lagi na!" Checking over him frantically.
"Bhaiyu...bhai... Mei theek huh!" He tried to assure them...... But they glared at him along with his friends who were giving death glares, cringed back.
"Kya karrahe tey? Agar gir jate toh kya hota? Itna irresponsible mannu!" Arjun yelled on him loudly, his heart still beating furiously against his ribcage.
Water brimmed in corner his eyes instantly looked down, "Sorry bhaiya.... Woh book chahiye tha mujhe!"
"Toh you could have used the stairs.....stool pe chadne ki jarurat kya thi?" Abhi questioned angrily.
Arjun staring at him firmly picked up the book which fell down ....frowned, "tujhe yeh reference book kyu chahiye!"
"Woh mujhe ek concept samaj nahi araha toh...." he mumbled slowly
"Then you should have come to me!" Arjun snapped angrily cutting him in middle.
"Everyone back to study!" He growled, still glaring at him.....all quietly moved not to anger him.
Arjun calming himself, "Aru...help them!" n sat beside Manik, "Bata kaunsa topic!"
Manik showed him the topic quietly, with a nod Arjun started explaining which Manik noted down in his notes.......other side Arav helped others if they had doubts while Abhi simply took a book and started reading as he is not an expert in business studies.
After explaining the concept, "Samaj aya!" Arjun questioned softly.
"Yes Bhaiyu! Thankyou!" He mumbled slowly n started reading.
After one hour, their preparation got completed.... Arjun nodded at them who moved to their rooms, glancing at Manik who is still studying, without looking up.
The three stayed till Manik completed his reading, noticing his gloomy face felt bad, as Arjun scolded him very badly...... after sometime, when he closed his books, Arjun gently lifted his chin, called in soft voice, "Baby!"
Manik pushing the books aside wrapped his arms around Arjun, mumbled, "Sorry Bhaiyu! Don't be mad with me!"
Pulling him close Arjun caressed his back, "Bas bacha.... We are not mad! Humhara jaan nikal gaya tujhe girthe dekh issliye jyada daanth liya! Abh rona bandh karo!"
Manik nodded as he was at fault, wiped his tears with back of his palm looking cute.... Arjun stopping his actions wiped the remaining tear stains pressed a kiss on his forehead, "Love you baby!"
Abhi n Arav joined the hug forgiving him as they cannot see him like that.
At night, Manik again experienced a nightmare.....got up sweating purposefully! Switching on the light he calmed himself hugging his knees, noticed his hands still shivering clenched his fist to stop it.
Getting a grip he slightly relaxed himself..... moved to washroom on shaky legs splashed water on the face..... Looking at mirror noticed his red eyes. Washing face for 2-3 times he took the towel n came out drying his face moved towards bed.
Resting his back on the headrest, he closed his eyes ..... recalling everything! He was not ignorant of those people shocked looks on seeing him here.... Or not the longing looks of others.
"Mei toh apne past ko chodke aya huh toh kyu unsab ko mere samne khade kiye hoh bhagwan! Joh pyaar apnapan unhe diya sab todh diya woh log! Bhiker kar diya mujhe! Phir bhi apne aapko sametha huh mei ........ bhaion ke liye! Sab mere feelings ke saath kilwad kiya ...... Nandini bhi!" A tear escaped his eye, remebering how she misunderstood him ....yet he forgave her due to love but the hurt he felt with her mistrust he could never forget....."Mei tumse bahut pyaar kartha huh, ......But, I can't get near to you, Abhi Bhai ko promise kiya ... aur phir Bhaiyu ko kya jawab dunga mei?"
"I know..... You three are confused with my ignorance........ But, kaise mei apne bhaion ke trust ko todh lu.... waise bhi Bhaiyu se itne badi baat chuparaha huh..... agar unhe sach pata chalega pata nahi kaise react karenge........ And...... I'm the not same Manik, woh Manik mar chuka hai....ek jhuta naam ek jhoota zindagi ... Pyaar aur dosti toh asli tha.... Lekin woh log dosti ko bhi jhoota sabit kiya....! Yeh Mera asali zindagi hai apne bhaion ke saath! Kash mei Bhaiyu ki baat manke India jane ki zidh nahi ki hota toh aaj mei aisa nahi rehta...apne passion apni zindagi nahi khoya hota!" Thinking about his past tear rolled down his cheek, wiped it furiously...... He regretted his decision.
"Now..... I'm not going to allow any of them into my life again, mujhe unn teenon se koi lena dena nahi I don't care about them.... Par na chahte huye bhi tum teenon se anjaan banraha huh.... Mere iss behaviour se tumsab bahut hurt honghe khaskar nandu tum... But I'm sorry.... Nandu ki ayiyapaa please aap mere majboori ko samaj lijiye.... I have already hurt my brothers with my stubborness lekin abh nahi!!" He vowed himself determined, wiping his tears.
He didnot realise when he fell asleep. Abhi who came to wake him shook his head, "Yeh dekho aaj test hai phir bhi Maharaj soraha hai! Sach mei iskeliye bhai hih theek hai!" Shook his shoulders gently, "Mannu uth ja subah hogai bacha!"
But will he ever wake in straight manner.... No, ignoring Abhi he pulled a pillow on his head mumbled, "bhai jao tangh mat kalo meiko!"
"Mannu... Uth warna bhai ko bhula ke avunga!" Abhi warned narrowing his eyes.
But he was again ignored, "Abi batata huh bachu!" Abhi grinned, "Bhai..aap yaha?" He said in Suprised voice.
"Mei utha gaya bhaiyu!" Manik turned on to his back immediately not to get whacked, looking at door....frowned not seeing his brother turned his gaze to Abhi who was smirking at him.
"Agai na tu line pe!" Abhi teased ruffling his hair....pushing him, Manik pouted, "bhai not fair...... Mujhe sachi mei neendh arahi!" He yawned with droopy eyes.
"Bacha.... College jana hai tumhe! Tere sare shaitan dost wait karrahe neeche...... Agar tu neeche nahi gaya toh pura fauj upar akhe tujhe uthayega woh bhi apne tarike se.... Issliye shukar manao mei aya uthane.... Abh Jao aur ready hokhe neeche aja! Test haina aaj!" Abhi pulled him from bed n pushed towards washroom.
Taking out his clothes, Abhi arranged them on the bed n left instructing him to come quick.
Downstairs all assembled at breakfast, Manik joined them later directly jumping on to Arjun, "Good morning Bhaiyu!" Kissing his cheek.
Laughing at him, Arjun caressed his face, "Gudmrng baby! Chalo beitho!"
Nodding he took his place, "Gudmrng bhai!" Looking at Aru n then wished his friends, who never leave a chance to tease him, "Humhara mrng toh kab ka hogaya lagta hai tera mrng shuru abi hua!" Piya grinned... listening to which all giggled.
"Waise mani tujhe itna neendh atha kaha se?" Viren questioned innocently.
Pouting at their teasing he looked at Arjun n whined, "Bhaiyuuuu dekhona..." giving puppy eyes.....earing a loud laugh from his friends.
"Bas.... Hogai tumsab ki masti.... Chupchap nashta karlo sab!" Arjun replied.
F-4 n navni looked at them with longing watching his bond with his friends..... Manik looking at them greeted with formal tone, then turned his attention to his brothers....."Aru bhai! Aaj Aap S-Labels chala jayiye ! Bas lunch tak.....mera test khatam hote hih ajaunga mei!"
"Ofcourse mannu! Tujhe batane ki jarurat nahi! Ab khalo!" Arav replied eating his food.
Nodding Manik ate from Arjun's hand, scrolling his mobile saw something, "Ohh F**k!" He mumbled.
Rey who was drinking water spit it out at swayam who glared at him....... ignoring he glanced at Arjun with horrified look, same with his friends.
"Come again mannu!" Arjun asked in low tone which was enough for Manik to realise his blunder immediately apologised, "Sorry Bhaiyu!"
His apology was a suprise to his once friends as he had much colour ful vocabulary!
"Mannu! Don't you swear again! Kaha se seekhe tha tu? We all control our swearing in presence of you toh tujhe yeh kisne shikaya!" Arjun questioned sternly.
"Woh..woh.. India.." Manik mumbled instantly what ever came to his mind afraid of his brother, who wouldn't hesitate to punish him infront of others.
As soon as Arjun listened India from his mouth, "I should have known! Tujhe India bhejna mera sabse badi galti hai! Shukar hai tuje wapas lekar aya..... Warna pata nahi kya kya seekh tey hoga waha!" Arjun chided still feeding him.
Manik made a face at scolding in front of others, remembered how he was shifted back to London in unconscious state as soon as his brothers landed in India....
His friends chuckled seeing his face who is getting scoldings early morning.... Its not that they won't swear but in presence of elders they watch their words.....
To add ghee in fire, "Waise mani tu f**k kyu kaha?" Rey asked innocently.
"Mr Reyansh Khurana!" Arjun glared at him, knowing his plan very well, to tease Manik.
"Sorry bhai!" Rey mumbled looking down.
Abhi excused himself, as he need move quick said, "Bhai mujhe jana hoga! Bye!"
Giving a hug to Manik, "Bye baby! Koi shaitani nahi! Test ache se dena!" Kissing his forehead he glanced at others, "Tumsab ko bhi best of luck! Bye aru!" N left as he as important surgery.
Arav asked other to get ready as they should go to S-Labels!
Taking his coat, Arjun glanced at Manik, said "Chalo mannu... Aaj tujhe mei drop kardeta huh!"
Manik eyed Rey, who gave a nod, "Bhai..... Humsab ki ghadi yahi toh hai.... Mani ko humhare saath bhej dijiye! Aap kyu kasht lena chahte!"
"Haa Bhaiyu... Mei insab ke saath chal jaunga! Manjao na!" Manik pleaded making a puppy face.
Arjun sighed not denying him, "Theek hai... Lekin he is not to drive!" He earned showing eyes to manik.
"Yes bhai... Hum usse drive karne nahi denghe!" Viren assured.
Nodding he pulled Manik into hug, "Bacha....... Dyaan rakho apna, aur mujhe call karo clg jate hih! Test achese dena... Best of luck baby!" He whispered kissing his forehead.
Manik nodded with a smile showing his 32 teeth!
"Love you Bhaiyu! Bye!" Kissing his cheek Manik left with his friends. This interaction was not missed by F-5.
Arjun noticing their presence smiled at them, "Have a nice day guys!" N moved from there.
Rey after driving to a distance stopped the car. Looking behind he nodded at Manik who grinned n they immediately exchanged their places. It was their secret among the friends as they allow Manik to drive without their brother's knowlege which would be very rare.....holding the stearing, he looked at other car where Swayam n Viren were there with their gf's, shouted, "Race you!" accelerated the car n zoomed in full speed. They reached their college with 15min where it usually takes 30min! With Manik's car entering first followed by Viren. Parking their cars, they came out giving hi-fi to each other.
"Wahh! Mani tere racing skills abi bi aise hih hai!" Piya complemented earing a lopsided smile.
"Par mani kabtak tu bhaion se chupke ghadi chalayega! Agar unhe pata chalega toh?" Swayu questioned him.
Leaning back, "They will be mad for sure! Woh sab abi bhi uss accident ko nahi bhula paye.... N I don't want to give any stress n worry regarding this!"
They nodded slowly n all moved to their class.....as they have test in first hour itself.
They settled on their places n started giving their test.... Rahul tried to get Manik in trouble but he himself fell into trouble as the prof. Saw him removing a chit caught read handed, grabbed it n scowled.
"Rahul! How dare you to cheat?"
"Sir! I'm sorry!" He tired to apologize, Manik n his friends rolled their eyes at the drama concentrated on their test.
Prof. dragging Rahul outside, "Bring your parents to meet me! Untill then you are not allowed to my class!"
Coming inside, the prof. kept a strict eye on everyone.... Manik completing his test handed him confidently n came out...soon his friends followed him.
They all moved to cafeteria n saw Rahul smirked at him, "Tch...Tch... Kya hua Rahul?" Rey mocked him.
Rahul staring at them, "I will swipe that smirk of your face Manik! Aaj bach gaye toh kya... I will make sure you will get rusticated aur tum aur tumhare woh bhai kisiko muh dhikane layak nahi rahega! Its a promise!"
Manik rolled his eyes, "Aisa kuch nahi karpaoge kyunki jabtak mera bhai mera vishwas karega tabtak koi bi..... Mind it..... duniya ki koi takath mujhe kuch nahi karsaktha! Waise bhi tere liye mei akele kafi huh.... Tere baap ka kya haal hua bulo mat....ab tak keval Bod position chala gaya...agar tu baaz nahi ayega toh he won't even step in SE again!" He warned in deadly tone.
"Mani chal! Tu isske muh kyu lag rahe hoh!" Viren dragged him away.
Enjoying themselves they attended other classes.....
"Tum log arahe hoh S-Labels ya mei driver ko bulao!" Manik raised his eyebrow at them.
Looking at eachother, "Arahe hai! Let's introduce ourselves!" They giggled imagining others shocked faces, " unke faces dekhne layak hoga!"
Shaking head at his crazy friends Manik sat inside the car with Viren driving the car.
Reaching S-Labels, they Parked their cars, "tum log jao... Mei change karke atha huh!" Manik informed.
The gang stepped inside, got greeted with the staff who were excited to see them after long time. Meeting them they moved on way met with Adi, "Arav bhai kaha hai Adi!"
"Cabin mei!" He replied with smile.
Nodding they moved inside n greeted Arav who was going through files, looking at them, "Toh kaisa gaya tumsab ka test!" keeping the file aside.
"First class bhai! Aap aur Arjun bhai help kiye toh acha hih hoga na! Aur apko pata humhe entertainment bhi mila!" N told him about Rahul.
Arav laughed shaking his head, "Tum log yaha matlab you want them to know about you!" He raised his eyebrow.
"Yes bhai!" All chorsed earing a laugh from everyone.
Their convo was halted as manik entered inside fully dressed in three piece suit looking smoking hot..... directly jumped on Arav, yelling "Bhaiii!"
"Hii baby!" Arav ruffled his hair with a fond smile, "Kaisa tha test!" Manik replied with a nod.
"Acha aap log baat karo... Mei F-5 se milta huh! Uske baad tumlogon ko introduce karunga theek hai!" Manik told looking at his friends who nodded at him, as he want to clear few things before.
"Mannu.....lunch karo pehle......yeh sab baad mei bhi hota rehta haina!" Arav stopped him knowing very well they haven't had their lunch.
"Bhai...bas dus min hih lagega...uske baad karta huh...aap SE jaa rahe hoh?" He frowned.
"Nahi mannu...kal se chala jaunga, tu jaldi kaam nipat ke ajao .. hum ghar keliye nikalte hai lunch karne ke baad!" Arav replied.
Manik gave a nod n left to conference room where others were already present.......they had no idea what the meeting is about except Adi asking them to gather.
"What's this guys! Abh kaunsi baat karna hai inlogon ko!" Aryamaan told in frustation, as the three filled his ears against Manik, when they went to sight seeing before day.
"I agree with you!" Aliya supported him.
"Aryamaan! Tum kyu itne upset horahe hoh.... Its their company their rules.... Agar humhe kaam karna hoga toh we should follow them right! Contract mei yahi toh tha! We all signed it!" Cabir reminded him, frowning at his attitude.
"Cabir dont behave as if everything is right! He betrayed us...n you want to..." But he was cut by cabir, "Don't you dare go there Dhruv!"
"Its you who broke him in your jealousy n insecurity!" Cabir snapped at him not controlling as he is getting very effected by Manik ignorance n knew the reason as it's because of those three he lost his bestie.
"Cabir!" Dhruv yelled standing up furiously. Soon everyone were yelling at eachother.
"Enough!" A loud voice boomed inside the conference room....... startling them who glanced at the door with shocked n suprised looks.
