Tumhari tasveer ke sahare,
Mausam kayi guzare,
Mausami na samjho par ishq ko hamare,
Nazaro ke saamne main,
Aata nhi tumhare,
Magar rahte ho,
Har pal, manzar me tum hamare,
Gar ishq se hai mila, phir dard se kya gila,
Iss dard me zindagi, khush haal hai,
Ye dooriyan filhal hai....
~Arijit Singh (Song : Khairiyat)

Aashvi's POV
When I woke up today, I saw him in his shorts, it means he just came from the shower, it's his nature, when he came back from the shower he wore shorts.
I was looking at him when he caught me staring and our eyes met, but instantly he removed his gaze.
I was hesitant to ask him anything but do the opposite.
"U came?" I don't know why, I asked him, this stupid question, I was nervous, and I don't know the reason.
He looked at me again after I asked him that question, and he looked at me in disgust.
What happened to him?
Maybe u know, what happened to him, my subconscious said.
"Why? U don't want me to come?" He said rudely, he never talks like that before.
"No No... I didn't mean that I mean, u didn't come last night..." I say hurriedly, why he even think that?
After that, he didn't say anything and ignored my presence by busying himself in his work.
I don't know why he is talking to me like this... He never does that.
I saw him exiting from the room when my voice stopped him.
"I wanted to talk to u." I said I wanted to know why he is ignoring me? What's the reason behind it?
"Say fast, I don't have time for something useless." He said looking at me, his eyes were filled with hatred and anger.
I looked down, I couldn't be able to see in his eyes, becoz I did wrong with him.
Everything I did with him, becoz of my selfishness, but I couldn't bear his ignoring behaviour.
"Why r u ignoring me? Last night u didn't answer my calls, but when I called u from Mom's phone, u instantly picked it up...." I wanted to say more but he stopped me from saying anything.
"And why should I answer u? We are nothing. And I don't think, I m bound to answer any of ur stupid questions." His this reply broke my heart, no it felt kind of that, his harsh words pierced into my heart, I would have think about this.
But I wanted to know the reason of his foul mood towards me.
"Viransh....listen..." I called out his name, as I saw him exiting from the room but he didn't even glanced towards me.
I walked behind him, but he didn't stopped and continue to climb down the stairs.
"VIRANSH." Then we heard Mom's voice, the anger was visible by just listening to it.
What happened now?
And after whatever happened, I saw everything, but his eyes weren't leaving mine, when he left from there, I went for him but he was already gone. His tearful eyes, I have never seen him in tears before, becoz I always believed that he is a strong man, but how can I forget? A person only became strong after breaking. His eyes held accusion, when he looked at me.
I prayed for his safety, becoz he went in anger from there.
Maa slapped him coz he kissed his friend, she didnt even tried to listen to him, I wanted to take his side, I wanted, but this unknown feeling, after seeing him with someone else, made me angry, I know, I did wrong with him, but I never hug Ved, and here he kissed his so called friend. Maybe she is the one whose voice I had heard yesterday? Maybe.
After whatever bua Ji had said, I was taken aback.
What she meant by not her own blood?
Viransh is not their son?
Currently I m sitting in a café waiting for Ved.
He wasn't present there, so he didn't knew about that, but today I will ask him about Viransh, maybe he knew about him?
After waiting for 15 more minutes, he reached there, he smiled at me, but I don't have any mood to smile, so I looked away.
"Aashvi, what happened? Why are u looking sad? Is something happened?" He asked in his concern voice.
"Ved. I just want to ask u something...will u tell me?" I was hesitant to ask this about him, but I want to know.
"Yeah...of course." He replied casually.
"Is Viransh ur real brother?" I asked expecting him to be shocked at my question but what he did, I hadn't expected.
"Come on, Aashvi, don't tell me, u called me here just to talk about him. Plz..." He said in an irritated tone.
"Ved...I just want to know...that's it...and yes, I called u here becoz of him only." I said the latter part, in an irritating tone.
I wasnt looking at him, but heard him huffing in anger.
"U just want to know about him? Hmmm...." he said in a scary voice, and took his one hand on his chin, while rubbing it, and then he stopped.
"Aashvi, are u falling for him?" His sudden question, and I snapped my head in his direction, is he out of his mind?
"Ved...we dont came here just to talk about that...plz...come to the point...do u ever felt he is ur real brother?" I said changing the topic, I dont have any feelings for him.
Really, Aashvi? My subconscious again disturbed me.
Y-Yeah... I replied in my mind.
"If u r so desperate to know then I will tell u...I was 10 when we met for the first time, and he was 13. When I asked them about him, being my brother, they told me that, he will live with us. And when I asked why now, they said, he was living with our grandfather in village and now when my grandfather was dead, he took him with them. After that I never question them, I was in class 4th at that time, and he started his studies from class 6th, no one told me why they are admitting him in a school this late, coz I never thought about that, we became friends, and then, inseparable brothers. He can do anything for me, even if I will ask his life, he will give it to me without any hesitation." He said and stop, then looked at me.
"Thanks for this. Ved. Now I should go." I said standing up but then he held my hand and pulled me on the chair, I was sitting a while before.
"Now tell me, do u have any feelings for him?" He asked but this time he was calmer than before.
I wasnt liking his hand griping mine, I tried my best to take out from his tight grip but he didnt left me.
And about his question, I dont know, I think I loved him, Ved. But I dont know, why for some reason I couldn't able to give my answer as no.
"Ved u r hurting me, leave me plz..." I said when my hand started to hurt.
"Ok then first tell me, u love me. Tell me u love me. Aashvi." He said in a demanding tone.
I closed my eyes, in frustration.
"Ved, leave my hand plz..." I pleaded again thinking he will leave, but his grip tighten more.
Cant he see me getting hurt, and still he isnt leaving me?
"No, first say u love me." He yelled, everyone in the café looked at us.
"I don't love u....u heard it...I fucking dont love u... now leave my hand.." as soon as I said this, he smiled and left my hand.
I was confused why is he smiling?
"Thank you, for stopping me here, or else I would have lost something very precious. I wanted u to tell him everything, about us. I wanted to tell him myself, but it's not my place, ur place is first... tell him Aashvi..." he said and left me there, I couldnt be able to think, how he changed suddenly?
I too wanted to tell him, I had made up my mind after listening to him.
The guilt is making me weak day by day. I couldnt be able to live with this guilt.
If I wont tell him, maybe we would be divorced in future, but I wouldn't be able to live peacefully.
I m ready to face his any punishment.
I m ready to face his wrath.

Precape:-
"Get out of this house, Aashvi. Now." He yelled, again and held my hand tightly making me whimper in pain.
"Huh? She dont have anything to say, Mom. U know what she did, that day the reason u slapped me was becoz of her. And I wont leave her." He said in his dangerous voice and this is the first time I saw him like this.
