Aadhira was playing with the pen in her hand, her eyes were fixed on the documents in front of her. She chewed the pen, shuffling through the papers.
It was the file regarding Darsh's new project.
Though Darsh warned her to not take unnecessary burden by checking his project files as well but Aadhira being his Sherni, defied him as always. She noticed that he looked tired these days and being his better half she decided to share his burden.
Since Aadhira came back to her family, Darsh tried to give her space and not burden her with new projects, taking them all by himself. The man pulled all-nighters to even complete his girlfriend's share of work.
Aadhira always asked him to share his load but he refused saying that she was his girlfriend, therefore she would never have to take any burden when he was there with her.
As the thoughts of her soon-to-be husband crossed Aadhira's mind, a blush spread on her face remembering him. She opened her phone screen to only find his picture on the wallpaper, no matter what she loved that man to pieces.
She kissed his cheek on the phone screen itself, missing his presence. He was the only light of her dark world. Actually, he was her world.
The guy never failed to make her feel special. She was lucky to have him. She could even flex to the world for having the best boyfriend. She looked at her room's window, wishing to see her boyfriend climb through it again just to meet her.
She sighed, shaking away her thoughts and focusing on her work. She needs to complete the file because Darsh had a meeting early in the morning and he might need it.
Her attention was again grabbed by the knock on her door. She furrowed her eyebrows wondering who it could be at this hour because everyone was busy watching the movie. Nevertheless, she said a short 'come in' in her cold tone.
She waited for the person to speak up so that she could sass them away. But no voice ever came up so she looked back to find Samarth sitting on her bed scrutinizing her with a soft smile lingering on his lips.
"What?" She asked with a raised eyebrow at him. Samarth furrowed his burrows repeating her question with confusion in a little obvious manner," What?"
"What are you doing here?" Aadhira laid stress on her question, quirking her brow higher as a mark of clear irritation. Samarth looked at his cranky sister in front of him, she was still the same, 'his Chidku Iru' whom he loved with all his heart.
"Ab tere pass baithne ke bhi liye koi reason chahiya hoga kya mujhe?" Samarth asked making himself comfortable on her bed.
"Well Haan, kyunki bina reason ke baithne ka haq aap kho chuke h" Aadhira said turning back to her file and avoiding the hurtful glance that flashed in her brother's eyes with her sentence.
Tears brimmed up in Samarth's eyes as her sister's words pierced through his heart like a stab of a sharp knife. The pain of years of separation flashed in his eyes as he looked at his sister.
Everyone understood her pain of being abandoned by her family, but no one understood their hurt. The brothers were also held devoid of their Princess whom they cherished with all their hearts.
Samarth wiped the drop tear, which betrayed the corner of his eyes. Getting back to his usual cool demeanor. He knew that no one could deal with Aadhira in an emotional way, it would always end up in a fight. Which he resented to have with his Iru.
"Tu unka parivaar ho ya na ho par mere liye toh aaj bhi Tu meri Iru h." Samarth said leaning back on the bed, and looking at the ceiling, "It doesn't matter tu mujhe apna bada bhai maan ya na maan, but you'll always remain my little sister for me"
Aadhira felt an unknown warmth spreading through her heart yet she sobered up the feeling with a scoff. Not wanting to glance at her favourite brother or she may fall weak in front of the person who knew her better than her.
Getting no response from Samarth, Aadhira turned her right to only see the file snatched away from her hand."Areyy..." She whined trailing off due to irritation.
"You are not doing this work, Iru"She furrowed her eyebrows seeing Samarth's stern expression. As far as she remembered her Bhaiyu could never be serious or strict.
Samarth, on the other hand, swiftly closed the file keeping it away from his little sister's reach. His eyes softened a bit seeing the cute furrow formed between her sister's eyebrows. Making her look even more innocent.
"What?" He asked in a strict tone, gaining back his composure. Aadhira snarled, "Ye kya badtameezi h? Meri file wapas kijiye".
Samrath leaned on the table with his one hand gripping the table firmly, "File toh nhi milegi Betaji". He said with a thin-lipped smile, making Aadhira groan in irritation.
She could easily guess who this person was," Darsh?". She asked turning to her elder brother who nodded his head but with a hint of surprise on his face. He couldn't help but admire the relationship between the two, they knew each other so well.
Aadhira again groaned in frustration, looking straight, clenching her hand into a fist, "Urgh, Darsh Kapadia, tu pitega mujhse". Samarth chuckled at his sister's comment.
Aadhira turned towards him sharply as he stifled the amount of chuckle, hiding it with a slight cough. Aadhira rolled her eyes trying to reach out for the file with her injured hand.
Samarth who caught her action just pushed the file further away, sliding it to the other side of the table. Aadhira glared at him while Samarth smirked, "Kaam toh mai tujhe krne nhi dunga"
Aadhira contained the urge to bash him up at the point, reminding herself of the fact that it was her Bhaiyu in front of her, she pointed her index finger at him, "You-"
Samarth intertwined his index finger with her, slowly pushing the other down, and booped her nose much to her annoyance. Aadhira closed her eyes taking a deep breath to see out the raging anger in her.
"Aur nahi mai isss kamre se jaunga," Samartb commented taking a seat on the chair Aadhira had been sitting in before. She tried to open her mouth to say something but Samarth bet her on that.
"You know better than testing your bhaiyu Iru" Samarth said leaning more on the chair while Aadhira again rolled her eyes at him. Knowing well that he spoke the truth. She couldn't win from her bhaiyu.
A yawn left her mouth as she tried to stifle it, "Fine aachar dalo us file ka mai sone jaa rhi". She made her way to her bed setting it for herself.
Samarth giddily jumped on her bed showing his 32 pearls, "Aaj Mai bhi sounga tere saath". He informed Aadhira, who did not even spare a glance at him.
"Kis khushi me?" Aadhira asked keeping a hand on her waist, looking directly at Samarth with a sharp look. Her look was so intense that it even made Samarth gulp for a minute. His sister resembled so much of their eldest brother.
"Arrey chote me toh mere bina soo nhi paati thi tu. Ab kamre se bhaga rhi h." He frowned answering to which a smirk took its place on Aadhira's face, "Chote me toh aap bhi mere bina nhi reh paate the, but ab dekhiye 8 saal reh liye na."
She looked at him diverting her attention from setting her bed and focusing on her brother, "Times have changed Mr. Samarth Singh Rathore."
Samarth sighed receiving another savage answer from his sister. Honestly, he wouldn't admit but he was now accustomed to it. Her coldness, Her rudeness everything. What he just wished was that she could've addressed him bhaiyu instead of using his full name. At that point, this sentence would've sounded as sweet as honey to his ears.
"Iru mai-"
Aadhira interrupted him before he could start with another set of excuses, "Mere sawaal ka jawab nhi diya aapne". Samarth rolled his eyes knowing who he was sitting in front of.
"Taaki tu ye kaam dubara na Krrr paaye" He pointed towards the disowned file while looking toward his sister's bandaged hand. His blood always went cold whenever he saw it.
"Mujhe kisi ke saath bed share krna pasand nhi h" Aadhira retorted sighing at her Bhaiyu's concern. This guy never changed. His concern for her knew no heights, not any limitations. Candidly she didn't want to make him worry more about her.
"Darsh ke saath toh krti h Tu" Now it was Samarth's turn to smirk as his sister's eyes went wide at the revelation. Inko kaise pta?- Only thought crossed Aadhira's mind.
"How do you know?" She gasped at the end of the sentence with shock clearly evident on her face. "I know everything Iru but don't worry mai kisiko nhi btaunga"
Samarth said pulling his sister's cheek to which Aadhira swatted his hands away. Samarth hissed taking his hand back while a look of worry flashed in Aadhira's eyes warming his heart.
But the look vanished with the speed it came. Aadhira disguised it again with coldness," Bta bhi doge toh kaunsa mera koi kuch ukhaad lega?"
She scoffed by the end of the sentence while Samarth continued his rant," It's your personal life, Iru. However, maintain distance while sleeping with him."
"Mujhe itni jldi mama baane ka koi shauk nhi h" He playfully told his sister with a shrug. Aadhira initially gave no reaction but as the words sank in, she gasped,
"Have you lost it?" She almost yelled at him with a look of disbelief. Wasn't Darsh enough to speak about this topic?- She questioned herself mentally.
Darsh really has a great influence on her brothers.
"What? Tu mujhe kabhi mama nhi banane wali kya?" Samarth asked almost pouting at his sister. Aadhira shook her head with wide eyes baffled by her brother's sudden wish.
"Aapna Darsh se durr rho, zyada influence chhadh rha h uska aapko" She warned her brother who just gave away a sheepish smile to her. Aadhira groaned in frustration.
Samarth took advantage of the opportunity and asked his sister with his puppy eyes, "Iru, please soo jaane de na apne pass. Mai pkka tujhe pareshan nhi karunga"
He said with utmost innocence, that Aadhira's heart almost melted into a puddle seeing her bhaiyu this way. She wanted to hug him and tell him that he didn't have to use the word 'please' with her and he had all the right to sleep in her room anytime but she resisted her urge and held herself back.
She couldn't let herself fall weak, not now, not ever. But it was also a truth that she couldn't deny her bhaiyu's. Puppy eyes. She sighed giving in," Fine so jao kamre me. I'll sleep on the couch"
Samarth immediately retorted, "No, you are not Iru, woh uncomfortable hoga". He couldn't let his sister sleep on the couch. "Aap apni chinta kro" Aadhira confronted him coldly collecting her pillow and blanket.
"Fine so jaaa, raat me waise bhi mai tujhe uthake bed pe sula hi dunga," Samarth spoke dismissing her previous statement. The guy was adamant about sleeping with his sister just like they used to do during childhood.
Aadhira looked at him with wide eyes, she knew that this wasn't an empty threat. Her bhaiyu can do this very well and her thoughts were confirmed by his next sentence, "You know your sleep, Iru"
It was right she was a deep sleeper.
Aadhira gripped her hair in frustration, cussing out some colourful words. "Fuck Fine!" She threw her pillow back on the bed and slept while pulling the comforter over her. Not before warning a smirking Samarth, "Just stay away from me."
Samarth too slept pulling the comforter over himself with a smile of relief adorning his face. Finally, his stubborn little sister had given up to his wish. He looked at her and closed his eyes, falling into a slumber.

After an hour, Samarth felt a weight on his chest. He groggily opened his eyes to find his sister clinging to him like a monkey. Her hand held his T-shirt in a tight grip as she threw her leg on him. Wrapping it around his legs.
Samarth looked down at her and his eyes welled up with unshed tears, he even pinched himself to confirm that it wasn't a dream. He looked for the pillow she used to cuddle with but it was already discarded on the floor.
"Just stay away from me" Samarth mimicked his sister, while shaking his head at her. Such a kid she was.
He chuckled to himself, kissing his sister's forehead, who whined in sleep and snuggled more into him considering him her pillow. "Bandariya kahin ki," Samarth said wrapping his arm around her waist and pulling her closer.
The smile on his face was never-ending. All he felt was the warmth of hugging his sister after years. He didn't want to lose any moment of having to dwell in the recreation of those childhood memories. He wrapped his hands protectively around his sister. Finally, he could sleep in peace with his monkey in his arms.

"Ira you know mai abhi bhi gaadi mod skta hoon aur hum shopping chal skte h," Neel suggested in a serious tone, focusing on the road in front of him. Since the time they sat in the car, Neel has been trying to persuade his sister to not go to her boyfriend's house.
Sensing Aadhira's ignorance he continued, "Aur rhi baat tere boyfriend ki toh I can always handle him you know. Bas ek do punch and..." He was harshly interrupted by his sister.
"Don't you dare touch him" Aadhira growled at him in a dark tone, " I already warned you yesterday to not create a ruckus there. Agar glti se bhi kuch kiya na Neel, yaaa glti se bhi Darsh pe haanth uthaya toh mujhse bura koi nhi hoga aapke liye"
Obviously, She won't tolerate anyone messing with her boyfriend, not even her brothers. "I already regret bringing you here. Don't make me regret it anymore" She added, with an eye roll.
"Regret? Ek toh tera boyfriend humara day out kharab krrr rha h aur dusri taraf Tu h Jo uske liye humesha mujhse ladti rehti h" Neel spoke through gritted teeth, slapping his hand on the steering.
"Aap mere Darsh ke baare me bakwas mat kijiye aur mujhe aapse baat krne me bhi koi interest nhi h" Aadhira spoke looking at him with a tight-lipped smile, taunting him with each word. Neel looked at her and snorted in frustration.
The car halted at the Kapadia mansion, while Aadhira instantly unbuckled herself sprinting towards her boyfriend's house. She didn't even spare a glance at her brother which made Neel furious.
What was special in that guy?- He thought to himself. Looking at his sister's retreating figure in disbelief. He closed his eyes and punched the steering wheel before exiting the car. This is going to be a long day- He shook his head to brush off the thoughts.
He followed Aadhira, who didn't even wait for him before entering the house. The mansion was as huge as the Rathore mansion but it was much more modernized as compared to the Rathore mansion.
"Ira beta ye tumhare saath h?" A woman in her mid-forties asked Aadhira who smiled nodding in response. Neel frowned at the woman, trying to figure out who she was because as far as he knew Darsh lived alone.
"Who is she?" Neel whispered to his sister, whose eyes were constantly searching for her someone special. "Mrs.Sharma, yahan ki head maid. Kaafi saalon se kaam Krrr rhi yahan par"
Aadhira spoke nonchalantly while Neel nodded to her in response. Neel straightened up with his cold face scanning the mansion. "Aaiye na baithiye," Mrs. Sharma said bringing both siblings out of their thought process.
Both of them gave each other a look and made their way to the sofa, settling down as two other maids brought water and some sweets for them. "Well, I didn't expect your boyfriend to maintain this mansion so well. I must say kaafi aache se rkhta h wo apne ghar ko "
Neel remarked in an impressed tone to his sister, while drinking water. Aadhira looked at him before turning her head back to her search operation, "He is obsessed with a clean environment. But Mr.OCD h kaha?"
"He is upstairs Ira beta," Mrs.Sharma said pressing her lips into a gentle smile. Aadhira looked at her and she blinked her eyes in a yes. This was all for Aadhira to sprint upstairs without even glancing back.
She guessed where he could be as the door of the gym room was open. She could hear his trainer counting as she made her way towards the Gym. "Darsh" She called out but trailed seeing the heavenly view in front of her eyes.
Her breath hitched, as her throat couldn't utter any other word. Her heart pumped faster, looking at the shirtless boy in front of her doing bench press. She has seen him doing gym many times and every time it's her heaven.
She couldn't help but gawk at her hot boyfriend, as her stomach flipped with each press he did. Her eyes followed the sweat that rolled down his six-pack abs making her blush at her thoughts. Her gaze lingered every way down to every inch of his exposed body. She wished that instead of her gaze it was her fingers doing the same.
Her eyes widened and her heart rate gained speed when her eyes went onto his biceps, her hands itching to touch them. Unknowingly her finger went between her lips as she blushed speaking," Koi toh rok lo".
"Ira" Neel rushed to his sister who was standing at a doorstep staring at something. "Kya krr..." His words trailed as he followed his sister's fixed gaze. His eyes widened looking at the scene in front of him. He cursed out a colorful word.
His eyes went down at his sister who was all red blushing looking at her half-naked boyfriend. He grunted and put his palms on his sister's eyes to stop her from seeing it.
"Kaun-" Aadhira whined as she felt obstruction in her sight but shut up when she heard her brother growl, " Kapadia, can't you close the door?"
"Saale Sahab aap kab aaye?" Darsh said immediately discarding the thing in his hand to his gym trainer. Neel glared at the sweating boy in front of him, not removing his palm from his sister's eyes while back-hugging her.
"Put on a shirt Kapadia! Tum meri innocent behen ko bigaad rhe ho"
Darsh looked down as he realized he was shirtless and a smirk formed on his lips thinking about his girlfriend's gaze.
He knew she was standing there gazing at him and it would be a lie if he said that he wasn't loving it. Her gaze was enough to make him feel butterflies in his stomach as much as her presence did.
Aadhira struggled in her brother's tight hold just to at her boyfriend, "Can't you listen Kapadia? Just go and put on a shirt or I am taking my sister home right now" Neel commanded tightening his hold on his wiggling sister and pressing her head more to his chest.
He couldn't let his sister lose her innocence for a boy. Darsh immediately said something to his trainer and went to his room for a shower. Neel released his sister from his, who instantly glared at him. Neel glared back at her with equal intensity.
Neel grabbed her hand and dragged her downstairs with himself while Aadhira tried to free herself from his hold," Chhodo mujhe Neel". "Not a word, Ira" Neel warned in a deadly voice, halting in his tracks.
He turned towards his sister as his face spoke pure rage. Aadhira again tried cutting through the silence but Neel repeated dangerously, "Not a word, I said". Aadhira huffed turning her head to the other side and yanked her hand from his grip.
Neel was about to speak something but Darsh entered, ending the uprising argument between the two siblings. "Arrey Saale Sahab aap yahan kya Krrr rhe, chaliye" He turned towards his Sherni who was glaring at her brother, "Hum waise bhi mere room me padhai krne wale h"
At the end of the sentence, he turned towards his future brother-in-law who was also glaring at his sister. Darsh mentally sighed, not knowing how was he gonna handle the siblings who were always on the edge of a war.
Neel looked at Darsh and nodded subtly. "Why will he be-" Aadhira tried questioning Darsh but Darsh just held her hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze pressing on the word," Sherni".
"Haanth choddho uska" Neel ordered Darsh, who took some seconds to register the command but complied. Aadhira threw another glare at her brother and again held Darsh's hand, intertwining their fingers.
"Nhi chodhega, Jo krna h krr lo" She wanted to provoke her brother more than he already was. "Aadhira haanth chhod uska" Neel cautioned his gaze fixed on their hands.
"Ye haanth toh nhi chuthne wala" Aadhira spoke with a smirk while Darsh gulped seeing the burning anger in Neel's eyes. It looked like he was just seconds away from pouncing and snapping Darsh out.
"Mai aakhiri baar bol rha hoon Ira, Chhodh De uska haanth" Neel pressed on his last words as he finished the sentence. His eyes blazed with unspeakable anger as he clenched and unclenched his fist.
"Aakhiri baar bolo ya pehli baar mujhe sunna toh h nhi. So try an alternative" Aadhira smirked, keeping her head high while speaking. She was an inch away from getting her desired reaction from her brother.
"Bas kro yaar aap dono" Darsh finally spoke in a calm tone when both the siblings snapped their eyes at him, " Let's go to my room, hum wahan jaake baat krte h."
He finished dragging both the siblings with him to his room.
-×-
In his room, Neel sat on the chair glaring at his sister while Aadhira sat on the floor near the bed table where the project work things were kept. Darsh rubbed his forehead, as he leaned on the side wall observing the bro-sis duo glaring at each other for the last 10 minutes.
"Guys, bas ho gya" Darsh finally spoke gaining the attention of the room, cutting through their glaring competition, " Ladai jhagda maaf kro apne dil ko saaf kro"
He said sitting beside Aadhira, giving her his charming smile. "Apni girlfriend ko bol, jab dekho tab mujhse ladti rehti h." Neel huffed turning his head towards the other side in annoyance.
"Haan Aap toh jaise mere gunn gaate h" Aadhira taunted Neel. "Teri zabaan na bahut chalne lagi h Ira" Neel said pointing his index finger at her.
"Vo kya h aap jaise logo ko dekh khud rok nhi paati h," Aadhira said casually," Reality check dene se" She snapped at her brother who was about to speak something in response when Darsh interrupted.
"Accha, Accha aap dono bas kro yrrr." Darsh said being the peacekeeper he was, "Aaj konsi maheshmati ki jung ladne ki tyaari krke aae ho dono? Kuch galat Kha liya h kya subah?"
"Saale Sahab aap bade h aap toh smjhiye, choti behen h maaf krrr dijiye" Darsh said to Neel who gloated in response, looking at the other side and brought his hands down from his chest.
"Aur tu Sherni, kyu apne bechare bhai ko khane pe tuli h?" Aadhira was about to interrupt him by saying that he is not her brother but Darsh interjected," No Sherni, ab tu kuch nhi bolegi. Seal your lips"
Darsh commanded while Aadhira complied. The siblings went quite while Aadhira pulled out her stuff from her bag. Darsh just gave both of the siblings another look and sighed,
Both the siblings were gonna give him a long day! Until his hair turns white.
