I Found You

4.

"Look at this one bhaiya, isn't it good?" Mukti displayed yet another outfit on her phone to Vikram, for the eighth time now.

With three days left for the engagement, Mukti had taken on the important task of selecting the perfect outfit for her brother. She wanted him to look his absolute best, as he should on this special day.

Hence, since the time Vikram had returned from the office, she had been on her toes, trailing behind him, inquiring about what would he prefer. Traditional or Western? Which colour would suit him best? She wanted every detail to be perfect for the occasion.

"Bhaiya yeh wala acha hai, dekho na." She tugged at his elbow to grab his attention from the laptop lying on his lap.

{This one is nice, look at this}

"This one is sexy." Vikram turned his head to notice Kabir standing near the dressing table, taking a whiff of Vikram's absolute favourite cologne of all time.

"Don't even think about it Kabir, keep it back on it's place, carefully."

"Thoda time lagega bhaiya, fir eventually aap bhool jaoge." Kabir said in a convincing tone.

{It will take some time, but then at the end you'll forget}

"Not gonna happen." Kabir twitched his lips, placing the expensive bottle of perfume back on its place.

Vikram had a passion for collecting perfumes and always loved smelling good. His collection of colognes was extensive, featuring a variety of scents.

"Didi isn't it too simple for engagement?" Veer replied as Mukti showed him the outfit, asking for his reviews on it.

"Is it?" She raised her brows, realising that it was indeed casual for the occasion.

"Make some space for me." Kabir strolled over to the bed, joining the trio as Vikram sat in the middle leaning back against the headboard.

"Why don't you twin with bhabhi?" He suggested, while trying to squeeze in beside Vikram, pushing Mukti to the side.

"How would I know what she's going to wear?" Vikram smiled sarcastically, folding his arms on his chest.

Kabir picked up Vikram's phone from the bed side table and to his luck there wasn't any lock on it, tapping on the contacts icon he dialled the number saved as  'Adhira'.

"Are you mad? Look at the time asshole." Vikram tried to snatch his phone from his hold, but till then Adhira had already answered the call.

"Hello" came her soft voice.

She wasn't expecting a call from him at this hour, it was 10:15 pm. She was shocked as well as equally surprised seeing the name on her phone screen.

"Hellooo bha- busy thi?" Said Kabir, trying to sound husky and deep just like Vikram, mimicking him, trying his best to suppress a giggle.

Mukti and Veer couldn't help but snicker. While Vikram was shooting daggers at Kabir for the obvious reasons.

"Uhm..Kabir?" Came Adhira's nervous voice, as if she was still contemplating if she guessed right.

"Itna obvious tha kya bhabhi?" Kabir asked. Adhira couldn't help but smile, this boy was the friendliest in the family.

{Was it that obvious?}

"Ji bhaiya" She replied, proceeding to ask about the well-being of everyone at home, and if they had dinner or not.

"Hi bhabhi" Mukti exclaimed, taking the phone from Kabir. The girls got carried in talks, whereas Vikram was felt himself lost and desperate to have a glimpse of her.
