"Aap khila do, Bhaiya!"
Aryan said as he got up from his chair and sat down on the one closest to Arnav.
Arnav picked up the plate and started feeding him.
"Tu mahine me kitni baar khud se khaata hai, Aru?" Aniket asked sarcastically.
"Aapko kya?" Aryan ignored him and ate from Arnav's hands. "Aap na bas jealous ho, Bhaiyu!"
"Chal be, tere second hand pyaar se jealous nhi hota mai."
"Bhaiya, dekho aap Bhaiyu ko!" Aryan complained. "Humesha aapke bachche ko tang karte hai."
"Aniket!" Arnav chided.
"Kya hai aapka, Bhaiya?" Aniket gave him an annoyed look.
Ayaansh chuckled. "Bachcha hai, Bhaiyu. Jane do na."
Aniket shook his head. "Dono ne milkar bigaad diya hai isse!"
"Achcha? Sirf inn dono ne bigaada hai ise?" Ashi's voice came from behind.
The brothers gave each other knowing smiles. Ashi sat down on one of the chairs and looked at Aniket pointedly. Aniket looked away. Ashi knew about their mischiefs as much as Arnav if not more.
"Bolo, Bhaiyu!" Ayaansh teased.
"Pehle tu mujhe bata yeh do din se tiffin kyun nhi kha rha?" Ashi asked him and Ayaansh looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Bata?"
Ayaansh scratched his head sheepishly. "Bhabhi, practice..."
"Tu akela practice karta hai ya sabko bhukha rehne ko kehte hai yeh log?" Ashi glared at him. "Kal se tiffin Khali chahiye mujhe tera."
Ayaansh huffed.
Aryan giggled seeing his expressions.
"Bhaiya!" Ayaansh whined, looking at Arnav.
Arnav ruffled his hair. "Teri Bhabhi sahi keh rhi hai, bachcha. You can't ignore your health."
"Meals skip karne par Bhaiya ne itne pyaar se kabhi samjhaya aapko?" Aryan whispered to Aniket.
Arnav heard him and smiled. "Tujhe kabhi pyaar se nhi samjhaya na maine?"
Aryan pouted and shook his head. "Mai thoda late bhi kar deta hoon khaane me toh aap itna daant dete ho."
"Bhaiya doesn't love you, Aru!" Aniket gave him a pitiful look.
Aryan glared at him and hugged Arnav's midriff. "Bhaiya loves me the most, Bhaiyu!"
"Chal chal, second hand pyaar.."
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" Aryan yelled dramatically to stop Aniket.
Aniket whacked him. "Chup ho ja."
"Ahhhhh..."
"Chup kar Aru!"
Aryan grinned and opened his mouth again but Arnav stuffed a morsel inside his mouth to shut him up. Aryan whined but then forgot about the fight when Arnav started feeding him his favourite food. After completing the dinner, Arnav called Aniket to talk.
"Ji, Bhaiya?"
Arnav showed him a message on his phone. It was another message threatening them. Aniket rubbed his forehead in annoyance. They were not getting anywhere with these hollow messages. Everytime they tried to pull out details of the number, they got to know that the number had been dead.
"Yeh Jo bhi hai woh hume pareshan karna chahta hai, Bhaiya!" Aniket said worriedly.
"That's the whole point, Ani. Why will someone do that?"
