Rudransh got down of his car after reaching the mansion. The mansion with which he had so many horrible memories with. The place he has been avoiding from years. He sighed before taking a step forward.

As soon as his Pari left his sight, he felt the void in his heart. The void in his heart expanded with every minute as the car moved away from her place.

He sighed, only if he can drag her to his place and tie her on his bed so that she could never get out of his sight.

Is he going crazy? Probably yes..!

As soon as he stepped inside, he met with a thick silence. Which was so unusual. The heaviness in the air because of the invisible tension still lingering around his body.

He looked infront, to see his brothers standing, as if waiting for his arrival. He walked towards them with raised brow. Pratik and Abhay looked at each other grinning at his arrival.

"There is a big party arranged for you bhai" Pratik mumbled patting his brother's shoulder. Abhay's grin widened as he said

"Party, which means feast" He said making Rudransh even more confused. He thought his sister will be standing at the entrance waiting for his arrival with hands full of utensils and vases to throw at his face but it is so unusual.

"Feast?" Rudransh questioned with a frown. Pratik and Abhay nodded innocently.

"Where is Akriti?" He asked tilting his head. 

"She is the one preparing the feast Bhai" Abhay said with a wide grin. Stupid.

"Did you guys team up against me or something?" Rudransh asked with a suspicious glint in his gray eyes making Pratik chuckle.

"Of course not bhai, we explained her and asked her to talk like an adult and mature people" Pratik mumbled feeling proud of his two hour lecture he gave to his sister.

"So you are telling me that you guys convinced her to act like an adult" He stated narrowing his eyes. "Yes" They both grinned widely at their achievement.

"Get ready to praise us Bhai, we have done a great job" Abhay said flipping his non existing hair.

"So you are telling me that you have lectured a immature spoilt brat to be an adult and she gave in. Wow" Rudransh mocked still not believing but both Pratik and Abhay grinned again.

"First stop grinning, I'm not getting a good feeling from it" He said making their grins drop.

"We tried our best to not let you get stressed about the situation here. You must be so tired right? So We handled the situation bhai. Just look at our sister now, we can very well handle her" Pratik said and to which Abhay nodded.

"What do you want in return now?" He asked clearly knowing their intensions.

"Your sports car will be mine for just a whole week" Abhay smirked rubbing his hands and jumping on his feet.

"And a full week off from office for me" Pratik grinned. Rudransh shook his head at their demands and asked 

"We can talk about the rewards later. First let me see the results of your efforts" He stated walking towards the kitchen. 

But as soon as they stepped Akriti walked out of the kitchen with a sweet smile. She kept the bowl on the table which she was carrying. She smiled again making Rudransh raise his brow at her.

"I prepared my brothers favorites today." She said gesturing towards the table. Pratik patted her head feeling proud of himself at how maturely he handles the situation. Maybe this time his brother show some mercy on this poor soul and give him what he wanted.

He is going to get 1 week off from office. He grinned and jumped internally, planning a small trip with his wife without any business calls and stupid work. 

Maybe a second honeymoon

His grin widened at the mare thought. All he was praying for his sister to talk with his brother rather than shouting and throwing stuff around.

"This is Abhay Bhai's favorite, Pav Bhaji" Abhay's eyes lit up at the mention of his favorite food.

"This is Pratik bhai's favorite Egg Burji and Rudra Bhai's favorite Mushroom Biryani" Akriti grinned. Abhay ran towards the table and sat on his seat eagerly waiting for his food.

"Come on, serve me with your hands princess" He grinned flipping his plate only to flinch when a fresh tomato splashed on his face.

"WHAT THE HELL" Abhay and Pratik shouted in reunion. Rudransh blinked before taking slow steps towards the stairs.

"Your food" Akriti mumbled getting her teeth before throwing a egg at Pratik who screamed as the egg white and the yellow yolk slowly rolled down his face.

"This was your idea BHAI!!!, I clearly said that she is not the one to listen. Chipkali" Again another tomato landed on his face making his groan. He huffed before running behind her and pratik ran the opposite direction to catch his sister.

Pratik catched her from behind while Abhay splashed the tomato on her head. Making her scream at them. While breathing heavily she looked here and there

"Wait where is the one who is the sole reason for all my frustration?" Akriti mumbled and saw Rudransh walking towards the stairs, thanks to their big living area, He took fast steps as if his life dependent on it.

"CATCH HIM." She shouted taking the bowl of tomatoes and eggs and running behind him along with Abhay and Pratik. Rudransh cursed under his breath before taking fast steps and running towards the garden as soon as possible.

A tomato landed on his back when he shouted " It's not time to play, Akriti STOP" His shouting turned into deaf ears.

"Abhay, I'll kill you stop" Rudransh mumbled when Abhay held him tight before he can say anything, Pratik joined his brother. "You both really think that I can't release myself from your hold?" He stated scoffing.

"And you think that you can escape after betraying you sister, mister?" Akriti mocked making Rudransh Sigh. " Now Bhai shut up and take this" Saying it Akriti emptied her basket on his head. Rudransh groaned, disgusted with all the stickiness and smell. 

Pratik and abhay released him while he scoffed before dragging both of his brothers while kicking and holding their necks who were busy laughing holding their stomachs and pushed them into the pool. 

"Bhaiiii" They both whined catching their breath. 

Akriti smiled seeing them, she is the most pampered one and it's been years since she saw all her brothers having fun and laughing around. She sighed feeling her eyes burning because of all the emotions swirling in her heart.

"Bastards, There is no week off nor you are getting my sports car. Freshen up and come to office in 30 minutes. Come even a minute late and see the consequences." He announced before turning to Akriti who is trying her best to stop her laugh seeing his face.

"I'll let you go this time. Don't even try to do this again Understood?" He asked making her nodded with a grin.

"That's not fair, why do you always spare her bhaiiii" Abhay while coming out of the pool.

"You have only 27 minutes." He said walking inside while they both glared at Akriti and ran inside the house. 

--------------

"I'm really hungry bhaii" Abhay mumbled patting his growling stomach only to get ignored for the nth time. He sighed staring the the laptop screen in boredom. He ruffled his freshly washed hair and laid his head on the table.

"We got an invitation" Rudransh mumbled taking out the a card from his drawer. "What?" Pratik asked getting up from his seat and Abhay followed.

"Invitation" He said and looked at Abhay adding "From Chauhans" He completed and a thick silence spread between them. Abhay bit his lip in nervousness while Pratik patted his back.

"As I guessed, you are already aware of this information" Rudransh said removing his spectacles and rubbing his eyes.

"Yeah" Abhay trailled off and sighed again. Rudransh looked at his brother's distressed face and said

"As I said before, I won't get involved in this unless I find any harm from them on you. They don't have any idea about it but trust me, the day they will get to know about you two, hell will brake out" Abhay whined

"Bhaiii Don't scare me" Rudransh shook his head and explained

"I'm not planning to scare you off, I'm stating facts. You need to know the what's coming for you" He stated and just then the door opened. They straightened themselves seeing Akriti.

"I bought you food" She stated only to hear see Abhay and Pratik getting ready to cover their faces and Rudransh hiding his face with the help of his laptop. She laughed at them and said

"I bought the real food. god, you are such a kids. Come one get up" She said and started arranging the plates. They sighed in relief and sat on the couch to do the dinner together.

"I have a doubt" Abhay mumbled gaining everyone's attention.

"You threw tomatoes at me because we use it in making Pav bhaji and Eggs at Pratik Bhai as he like Egg burji. At this point you should have thrown mushrooms at Rudra bhai right?"

Everyone sighed hearing him.

"I know it was not fair of me, should I do it again to make it fair?" She questioned sarcastically.

Abhay shook his head and went back to his eating and in 2 minutes he opened his mouth to ask question. As we all know, he can't keep his mouth shut for long.

"By the way, Princess, why did you target us when you were angry on only Rudra Bhai?"

"Intially, I was very angry on Rudra Bhai until I got a message from his dear girlfriend" Everyone stopped in their tracks and looked at her wide eyed.

"What did she say? Did she say that he is not the one who did that are something?" Pratik asked while Rudransh stared at her with curiosity. Akriti shook her head and switched on her phone to show them the message.

"All thanks to my boyfriend's gift which made my face glow with happiness. And yeah, say hi to my best friend Abhay"

Abhay Paled seeing it, and looked at Rudransh wide eyed. Akriti chucked at his expression and shook her head. 

Rudransh smiled, all he want to do at that moment is to hug her tight. Is it wrong? Or is he going insane?

"I'll show you and her, what Akriti Sigh Rathore can do, when the time comes" She threatened gritting her teeth making Abhay shake his head in horror. Akriti ignored him and walked out of the room.

"Bhaiiii Do you really have to make her your girlfriend out of all the woman?" He whined making Rudransh raise his brow

"Then do you really have to love our enemy's daughter out of all the women?" He questioned back making Abhay shut his mouth.

"What are you thinking after all there tantrums that parinidhi has shown? Are you angry or frustrated?" Pratik asked clearly knowing that Rudransh Singh Rathore doesn't like when someone mess with him or his family and Parinidhi did the exact thing. Rudransh shrugged mumbling

"The only thing I'm thinking about is, how the hell I can meet her right at this moment" Because it feels like dying without her in my arms.
