Udaariyaan: Entangled Hearts

Chapter 11

Fix everything

Kapoor & Co. Construction Site – Rooftop

Advait stormed forward and wrenched Nikhil free from Ekam's grasp, fury burning in his eyes. He grabbed Ekam by the collar and shouted, "How dare you lay a hand on my brother?"

Ekam, equally enraged, caught hold of Advait's collar in return. "Do you even know what your brother was doing with my sister?!"

Advait scoffed, "Before pointing fingers at my brother, maybe ask your sister to stay in her limits! There must be something questionable in her character if she's running after a married man!"

That was the last straw.

Ekam's fist crashed into Advait's jaw, sending him sprawling to the ground. Blood trickled from Advait's lip as he staggered up, wiping it with the back of his hand. Without hesitation, he punched Ekam in the gut, growling, "And how dare you touch my brother?!"

The rooftop turned into a brutal battleground, the two men exchanging vicious blows. Each punch came with bitter accusations—each blaming the other's sibling for crossing boundaries.

Mallika and Nikhil desperately tried to pull them apart.

"Veere, stop it! What are you doing?!" Nikhil pleaded, holding his brother back.

"Bhai, please, enough! Let's just go!" Mallika sobbed, tugging at Ekam.

After a struggle, the siblings managed to break the fight. The two men still tried to lunge at each other, shouting curses through bruised faces.

Ekam turned to leave, holding Mallika's hand. But just as they reached the exit, he paused and whirled around.

"Mr. Advait Kapoor!" he barked.

Advait glared back, breathing heavily.

"Tell your brother to stay away from my sister. If he so much as looks at her again—he won't live to see another day!"

Advait snapped, "Keep your sister in check, I'll deal with my brother!"

They exchanged deadly stares before Ekam turned on his heel, dragging Mallika with him.

Advait turned to Nikhil. "Well? Do you need a written invitation to leave?"

Nikhil opened his mouth to speak, but Advait raised a finger sharply, silencing him.

"Not. A. Word."

Nikhil obeyed and started to follow. But before walking away, he turned once more to glance at Mallika. She too looked back, eyes filled with sadness and longing—until Advait's voice sliced through the moment.

"Nikhil!"

Their eye contact broke. Nikhil quietly followed his brother.

Kapoor House – Living Room

Advait stormed into the house, fury crackling in his voice.

"Mom! Bua! Nehmat! Naaz! Where is everyone?!"

Nikhil followed behind, silently, head bowed, bruises fresh and visible. Rama and Neeru rushed in first, followed closely by Nehmat, Naaz, and the house staff.

Everyone gasped at the battered state of the brothers.

Rama ran to them, alarmed. "What happened to you both? Were you in an accident? Why are you bleeding?"

Advait, his voice razor-sharp, snapped, "Ask your precious younger son what happened. He's the reason for all of this!"

Rama rushed to Nikhil and cupped his face, scanning his injuries. "Nikhil, beta, tell me. What's going on? Who did this to you?"
