Zaayan stood there with his arms folded on his chest as he watched his brother's closely. Raayan immediately looked up scared but he found it quite unbelievable when there was no angry glare like usual on his brother's face he was just casually staring at them.
"Kia plan Raayan?" Zaayan now sat down on the couch and started removing his shoes. Little Ayaan noticed that he was asking questions to Raayan so he quietly decided to sneak out but when he was just about to leave Zaayan held his arm stopping him dead in his tracks.
"Bhaiya woh birt.." Raayan trailed off as he couldn't lie to his brother.
"Let it be hum bad me baat krnge mujhe wese hi tumse baat karni hai." Zaayan now gave him a stern look as he realised that his brother was just about to lie.
Raayan paled as his face lost all his colours his brother can catch up his lies faster than anyone he was only hoping this conversation won't go in that way which can lead him in pain.
"Aur ap! Ye kia ha? Sari books phela kar games chal rahi ha yahn? Homework complete kia?" Zaayan pulled the young boy and tugged him between his knees.
Ayaan looked down ashamed he had no idea his brother would come this early.
"Ayaan! Kuch poocha haina mene homework complete kia?" Zaayan asked with firm edge to his tone.
Ayaan meekly shook his head.
"Mene mana kia haina begair homework complete kre TV pe nahi jana? Why do you always break rules?" Zaayan asked firmly.
"Bhaiya wo kabse homework karaha tha thak gaya tha to mene use allow krdia." Raayan couldn't help but intervene.
Ayaan quickly nodded confirming the situation he was habitual of Raayan taking his blame.
Zaayan cracked a smile but composed himself before his brothers can notice.
"Thak gaye the ya aa nhi raha?" He asked Ayaan.
"Araha tha promise bas thak gaya tha." Ayaan replied.
"Toh ye tuition me kyu homework nahi kreleta?" Raayan asked confused.
"Ye in bhaiya se poochein!" Ayaan scoffed angrily and glared at Zaayan.
"Isliye kyu ke homework khud karna chaiye kuch muskhil lage to help leni chaiye leken tuition me beth kar homework nahi krna chaiye." Zaayan replied.
"Bhaiyaa!" Ayaan whiled and jumped on his lap.
Zaayan also melted immediately as he cuddled him closer.
"Ji?" He replied.
"Mujhe bhooki lagrahi hai! Pokare khane hai please banado." Ayaan was smart enough to get himself out of hot waters.
"Kyu lunch nahi kia?" Zaayan asked.
"Kia tha wapis bhook lagrahi hai." Ayaan replied.
Zaayan rolled his eyes and put him down.
"Homework completed karo me banata hu! Raayan follow me." Zaayan said and left the room.
"Apne kuch garbar ki?" Ayaan asked Raayan.
"Nahi yar!" Raayan replied.
"Chalo ap homework karo me ata hu." Raayan pecked his head and left for kitchen.
Zaayan smiled at him when he entered the kitchen immediately making him calm down.
"Ye apkaa ladla jo farmaish karta ha apko puri krna zaruri hai?" Raayan asked when he saw him cutting onions.
"Tumhe kuch khana ha?" He asked.
"Nahi bhaiya ye kafi hai." Raayan replied.
"Okay ye pakro Aloo kat ke do mujhe." Zaayan gave him potatoes.
"Kyu pasand ha isko har cheez me aloo bandar khai ka!" Raayan muttered and Zaayan rolled his eyes. This one question was beyond his understanding.
"Bhaiya?" Raayan started after few seconds of silence.
"Apko kuch baat krni thi?" He couldn't keep it any longer and stated. The brother were sitting on the table opposite to each other.
Zaayan sighed and stared talking.
"Its august Raayan! I know what you were talking about." Zaayan said.
Raayan paled as he looked up he sometimes forgot how his brother was also a student not too long ago.
"Its annual bunk time I know! Mein Ayaan samne baat nahi krna charaha tha. When is it?" Zaayan asked way calmly than Raayan thought.
Raayan hesitated but replied.
"Apko kese pata?" He asked scared.
"I was a student too Raayan and not to long ago." Zaayan smirked.
"12th ko decide hua hai." Raayan replied.
"Were you planning to go without me knowing?" Zaayan raised his brows.
Raayan wasn't understanding why he was so
Calm and chill about. They were just having a random brotherly conversation that to very casually for Raayan's liking. Suddenly the realisation drawn upon him that Zaayan doesn't know a thing about racing. The racing culture started 5 years ago only.
"Raayan!" Zaayan snapped his fingers at him.
Raayan sighed but nodded there was no use of lying. He was expecting Zaayan to blast his ear off but Zaayan shocked him again.
"Fair enough! Me bhi bunk krta to ghar pe nahi batata! Plan kia ha? School se bunk krna ha?" He asked.
Raayan looked at him in shock. This was not the brother he knows.
Zaayan smirked and laughed at his face.
"Aan please! Itna bara jaalad nahi hu mein! You can go I know sab jate hai but please miss the school usdin wahn jakar bunk nahi krna mein Mrs Sara ke samne lecture nahi sununga or Ayu ko pata na chale uska khali dimag kia kia soochle." Zaayan smiled.
Raayan finally put the potatoes away and looked at him as if he have lost his mind.
"Apka dimag kharab hogaya ha ajj? Bukhar ha apko kia bole jarahe ho?" He asked annoyed.
"Are you trying to play reverse psychology mein han bolu or ap mujhe chamat lagado ek?" He continued annoyed.
Zaayan laughed out loudly. He found his annoyance cute.
"I remember being super excited for it. I had so many plans with my friends but I couldn't go. Besides it's nothing serious pura batch hota ha sab breakfast krte ha enjoy krte ha school ate ha parents ko call jati ha wohi sab lame cheeze. I knew you would do it too toh to save myself from all the hustle I am allowing you myself." Zaayan replied.
Raayan sighed his brother things it was still the same as it was 7 years ago. The racing the driving everything was added gradually over the years. He would kill him if he gets to know about it.
"Sach kheraho hona? Pata chala me bunk krke agaya ghar aya to ap ruler leke khare ho!" Raayan said still not sure.
Zaayan rolled his eyes.
"Bas abhi!" He said irritated.
Now Raayan felt little content his irritated brother was still her just under a spell of someone.
"By the way don't lie to me! I hate it especially when you standing right in front of me ankhon me ankhein daal kar jhoot ainda mat bolna aaj jane deraha hu next time nahi." Zaayan's was back.
Raayan gulped his brother's eyes always manages to make him scare.
"Jis din ka plan let me know ek din phele." Zaayan said.
"Okay." Raayan replied thinking about the race. He really wants do it he gets a different kind of adrenaline rush when he drives. He wants to race and he will. His plan was now much less scary as his brother knows about the bunk there were no chances he would get to know about the race.
"Bhaiyaaaaa!" Ayaan came inside the kitchen with books in his hand.
"Me nahi karaha hu help!" Zaayan straight away denied.
"Bhaiya mujhe nhi ati shark banane ap banake do!" Ayaan sat there stubbornly.
"Ayaan mujhe bhi nahi drawing! Raayan se kaho." Zaayan shook his head.
"Bhai ko to cloud bannane nahi ata." Ayaan angrily scoffed.
"Theek ha mein phir nahi kraha arts ka homework." He dumped his books.
Zaayan turned around and sharply glared at him.
"Nahi ati na." He murmured looking down.
"Izzah se banwalo." Raayan said.
Ayaan's eyes shined up as he looked at Zaayan with hopeful eyes.
"Baqi sab complete karlia?" He asked.
Ayaan nodded.
"Paka? Check karu?" He asked.
"Promise." Ayaan gave him a thumbs up.
"Go leken jaldi ana apke pokare bas ready hai." Zaayan gave him a pointed look.
"1 ghanta to lagega drawing bane me." Ayaan said.
"Ayuu! No more than 15 minutes got it." Zaayan glared at him. He knows that the boy wants to play.
"Half hour?" Ayaan negotiated.
"You want me to come and drag you? 20 mins that's it." Zaayan said firmly.
Ayaan made a face but picked up his books and went flying to Izzah's place.
Mishi was sitting in the balcony of her room making a sketch. A talent no one in family was aware of except Hammad and Zaira. She was to shy to admit how nice of a artist she is.
Zaira entered in her room and walked towards the balcony. Mishi was to engrossed that she didn't even notice her presence.
"Bahoo!" Zaira jumped on her back.
The sketch book fell from her hands.
"Kia ulti harketein karti rehti ho!" Mishi scowled at her.
"Tum kia har waqt ye sab karti rehti ho? Kisi ko batati bhi nahi ho!." Zaira scoffed at her.
"Batadaungi tum choro." Mishi replied.
"Aur jo itni bari baat dil be daba ke bethi wo kab bataogi? Jitna late karogi Mishi utna sab ko bura lagega." Zaira asked.
"Choro mujhe ye bataou mood sahi hogaya!" Mishi quickly changed the topic and asked her as she sulked the entire evening.
"Han Mama ne kha agar ek or dafa mene rona kia to woh Mahir bhai se kheh kar unse home tuition lagwadengi." Zaira rolled her eyes.
"Thank god!" Mishi replied.
"Acha choro tumhe pata ha 12 ko bunk day hai." Zaira said excited. The messages on group excited her and changed her mood.
"Wow! Mein to nahi gai thi tum hi chali jana." Mishi sad sadly.
"Tum sach me nahi gai thi?" Zaira asked.
"Nahi Hamza ne jane nahi dia tha usko batana mat please. Uski bari me kisi do larko ki bhot bari larai hogai thi even police tak involve hui thi racing me bhi bhot scene hua tha. Bhaiya sabke samne usse kaan keench ke leke aye the isliye wo bhot paranoid hai. Meri bari me to jane hi nahi dia." Mishi replied.
"Tumne uski baat manli?" Zaira asked.
"He was being very serious! Wo bhaiya wali bari bari ankhein dikha kar usne mana kia tha mujhe bhi daar laga jab usne bataya kese bhaiya ne use thappar pe thappar mare the." Mishi replied.
Fear flashed across Zaira's face but she masked it. She was not dumb like her siblings she will find a way out. She also decided not to tell about Haadi to her as she gets very protective about him.
"Meri to Rafay se bachpan se baat hui wi hai! Wo lejayega mujhe." Zaira replied.
"Tum dono krloge ek dusre ko bardasht?" Mishi asked.
"Majboori Mishi! Majboori me to ghade ko bhi baap banana parta hai!" Zaira sighed dramatically.
"Wo khud karega race? Uncle maar dalnge usse." Mishi replied.
"Wo bhi or Raayan bhi." Zaira replied.
"Raayan? Raayan Kaamal? What the hell wo kese karsakta ha?" Mishi sat straight in panic.
"Wo changez khan kia haal krega uska!" She said worried.
"Choro na hamein kia!" Zaira replied and Mishi realised she was getting too protective about it so she quickly let the situation goo.
"Han mujhe ye bataou plan kia hai?" The sisters started talking and they continued until dinner.
Hamza and Hammad laughed like fools as they exchanged hi fives at dinner. They were almost at the floor laughing when they heard about Mahir.
"Bhai bhot maze ayegaa!" Hamza laughed and the entire family chuckled except two.
"Apko kia lagta ha bhaijaan Haider hafte me kitni baar school jayega?" Hammad asked laughing.
Harib also cracked a smile.
"Jo Zaira ke plan us hisab se toh I think har ek din bad." Hatim joined them.
"Chachu ap to bas krde." Zaira said in fowl mood.
"Mein soochraha hu Mahir ko block krdu." Haider added.
"Me to karaha hu pata chala tera phone na lago to mujhe phone miladia." Hammad replied still laughing.
"Bas krnge ap log?" Zaira yelled.
They all stopped laughing for a second but a second later Hamza bursted into a fit of laughter and the entire family started laughing again.
"Baba!" Zaira cried.
"Bas karo sab bhot hogaya hai!" Hassan glared at them.
They all finally stopped as Zaira was just about to burst into tears.
The family peacefully had dinner and all of them were sitting In living room having tea. Zaira was sitting right next to Haider and Hassan.
"Zairaa!" Mishi yelled from her room and Zaira ran to her leaving her phone in Haider's lap.
Her phone started peeping with messages and Haider bend down to have a look it.
"8 new messages on bunk group" It read.
