Arjun smiled as he looked over the documents and went downstairs to look for his moron friend, "Abhi ji, book ulti hai." Arjun said in a cold tone.

"abb tune mera sign kar hee diya haii.. toh chala bhi tu hee jana," Arjun stated.

"Woh kya na mein The AK Banke chala bhi jao par phir log jute marenge mujhe aur teri image ka bhi toh sawal hai yarr," Abhir said as he lifted his head from his book.

"Logo ka toh patani abhi, mera chapal jarur, ane wala seedha tere muh pe," Arjun said as he removed his one chappaal and struck, but Abhir ducked down.

Abhir began chasing him, and the two of them began running in circles... because Abhir had blood cancer, normal running was too much for him.

"Ruk... time out..."Abhir said while huffing, and Arjun sighed in disbelief.

"Please, chala ja na." Abhir said while huffing.

"You know yr," Arjun said, about to re-launch his usual rant but stopped by abhir. "Abey yaar tera gana band kar yr and you are going," Abhir stated as if it were an order, and Arjun rolled his eyes on his drama.

Angad woke up with a very tight grip on his waist. He opened his eyes to see Arav holding onto him, pressing his head against his chest.

since the day Arav came into Angad's life. He never let anyone touch him in any way, as he had already had a traumatic childhood, followed by his constant panic attacks and his illegitimacy. That boy does not even know why his own brother and his not-so-sweet mama hated him. He asked him a million times, "Where is Arjun?" How could he tell him that his brother despised him because of his illegitimacy, and that's why he closed the doors for his own blood brother? Which is not to be called a brother also.

He didn't care about anyone, but what Arjun did made his heart stab in zillions of pieces. But the irony was that he couldn't manage to save Arav on that day or today, no matter how hard he had tried.

He was about to caress his face, but that scratch on his face made him feel guilty. If he reached a moment early, his kid could be saved.

"Bhaiya" Arau whimpered, opening his eyes and nuzzling his face closer to his chest, and he let himself be embraced by the safest person.

Angad blinked back his tears.

He knew Arav was terrified right now, and he needed to be strong.. he couldn't let his emotions overpower him when his kid needed him. He got tensed when he felt Arav's body shaking in fear. He immediately held him in his arms and sat down, pulling him up. Arav's body shook as he let out his fears. Arav didn't have to wait to hug his Savior to his heart's content because he was there.

"Aru bacha shh.. yahin hu tere paas, dekh na, itna royega toh teri tabeyat kharab hojayegi," Angad said, rubbing his back gently.

Angad pulled him from the hug and wiped his tears. "Ah!" Aru winced as the angad's hand touched his bruised cheek.

'im sorry.. im really sorry bacha ..' He took the ointment and applied it carefully so it wouldn't hurt him. Arav was admiring his brother's care and smiling at the concern.

"Zinda hai woh?" Arav inquired, and Angad was taken aback but quietly smiled. Why can't his brother allow him to apologise just once? And how could he tell his bacha that his not-so-sweet mama, his not-so-goodie-goodie mama, is having a good care in Kapadia's Hell' he chuckled in his head.

"Don't you think you badly need self-defense sessions?" Angad asked, and Arav rolled his eyes, saying, "Bache pe kabhi reham bhi kar diya karo yarr."

"Oye nautanki! chal uth aur neeche aaja. mein tab tak dinner bana deta hun..pure din kumbhkaran ki tarah sota rehta hai..' Angad made him pout by lightly whacking him.
