Mafia's Heartbeat[SS]✔

Part-1

Arhaan entered the house in full anger; he threw the coat on the couch and ran his hand in his hair. Arbaaz came out from the couch, holding a glass of water, and handed it to him; Arhaan pushed the glass away.
 
"Don't need to; just take care of him." He said angrily and went to walk out, but Rihaan held his arm like a babe.
 
"Big  B, Why are you so mad at me? I am fine, please. He whines like a baby; Arbaaz looks at them confusedly, but then his eyes land on Rihaan's arm, which is covered in blood.
 
"Oh my God, Rihaan, What was that?"He said in a panicked tone, put the glass on the table, ran toward him and looked at his arm. Rihaan hissed and glared at Arbaaz, who smacked him. Arhaan looked back at him and cupped his face.
 
"What you did is stupidity. Why did you take a bullet? This is not for you; it's for  me." He said in a done tone, Rihaan, and looked at him with disbelief and hugged him.
 
"It's for you, and do you think I let the bullet touch you?? How silly are you? And I am fine, so don't be mad. He said the last lines in a baby voice. Arhaan and Arbaaz both chuckled and pulled his cheeks, but both rolled their eyes at the dramatic kid.
 
"Ahh, hurt, my arm is painful, ahh." Arbaaz pulls him from his ear and takes him to his room; Arhaan laughs at them, and then his eyes become dark.
 
"Now you will see the real me. You made a big mistake in your life; now no one can save you from me." He growled like a lion and walked toward Ayan's room. He entered the room, and his dark eyes became soft, and his lips parted into a smile. He went near the couch and saw Ayan and Arman both sleeping while Arman was holding Ayan carefully, both looking too cute for their big B. They both were sleeping like in the pic, which I added in the character sketch. 🤭 He looked at his watch and saw 4:00 PM; he sighed and tried to carry Ayan, but Ayan turned to Arman and hugged him more tightly. Arhaan removed Arman's hand from his leg and pulled Ayan, who started to sulk. He took him in an embrace and kissed his whole face. Ayan slowly opened his eyes and looked at Arhaan with happy eyes.
 
"Baba..."He shouted and hugged him tightly. Armaan opened his eyes when he felt his baby was not with him; he sat on the couch with anger and shouted like a hungry lion.
 
"Who the hell do...."He shut his mouth immediately when he saw Arhaan looking at him with a WTF look and Ayan in his arms; he made an Ooh face and stretched his arms.
 
"I thought someone else took my baby, he said and yawned. Arhaan kicked his back hard.
 
"Get up, you sleepyhead, and make something good, he ordered Armaan, who made a pout and walked out of the room. Ayan giggled, and Arhaan pinched his nose.
 
"How was your day? Did you sleep well, and did you create any trouble?"
 
"No, no, not any trouble; I enjoy it a lot. Do you know Hitler also didn't scold me today, and Dada, he played with me. He made pasta for me, and Hitler bought ice cream for us, and we slept there while playing games on Dada's mobile?" He told everything with a pout; Arhaan chuckled at him and wiped his face, which was covered with ice cream.
 
"Good Boy, Now let's take a shower, he said and took him to the washroom. After some time he gave him his shorts and shirt. Ayan, looking too cute, rubbed baby lotion on his hands, and Ayan whined.
 
"I am not a baby, Baba. Stop this all." He whines and folds his hands on his chest; Arhaan pulls his hands and kisses both of his hands, which makes him giggle.
 
"But for us, you are, he said and combed his hair, but Ayan shook his head because he loved messy hair. Arhaan chuckled, put the comb back, and ruffled his hair. Ayan climbed on his back, and both walked down the stairs. Ayan saw Rihaan, who was hugging Arman like a kid, and Arman, who sat with a crying face; he wanted to get rid of this big baby, but he couldn't because Rihaan was holding him with both hands and putting his leg on his lap. Ayan jumped from Arhaan's back and ran toward Rihaan and jumped on him, who held him carefully and started to smooch him. But both stop when Arbaaz calls Ayan angrily.
 
"Ayan, how many times have I told you not to run?" He said angrily and took a step toward Ayan, but before he could say anything, Arman held Ayan's wrist, who looked down.
 
"Don't be a brat baby; otherwise, you can't face the consequence, he said in the same tone as Arbaaz. Ayan snuggled into Rihaan's chest, who rubbed his back, and Arhaan glared at Arman and Armaan.
 
"Don't you dare scold my baby; Bacha, leave them; they are just jealous of you. Ayan giggles, and Rihaan shows his tongue to Arbaaz and Armaan. Armaan glares at him, but Arbaaz is lost in his thoughts; he sighs and walks toward the kitchen, and Rihaan stares at him and sighs sadly too.
 
"Baba, he calls Arhaan softly, who runs toward him and cups his face.
 
"Yes, Baba's jaan."
 
"I want to play cricket. Can I go outside?" He said with puppy eyes, Arhaan kissed both his cheeks and ruffled his hair.
 
"Yeah, sure. Ayan hugged him and ran outside of the house; Rihaan was going to say something, but Arhaan started to attend to the call. He sighed and walked toward Arbaaz. Armaan followed him too. Arbaaz slammed his hand on the kitchen counter angrily.
 
"Hey, young man. Armaan patted his back, but he backed off when Arbaaz looked at him angrily. Rihaan hugged him, and Arbaaz closed his eyes.
 
"I am tired, nothing much, he said and tried to calm himself. Arman cupped his face, and Arbaaz opened his eyes.
 
"You know you can share with us, he said softly and caressed his cheeks. Arbaaz smiled.
 
"Bro, you know why I became a doctor, why I chose this profession?"
 
"Because Big B wants this, you are strong for us; you are brave; you can handle Ayan, and also we can't afford to lose Ayan because he is our heartbeat; we are nothing without him, Rihaan said and leaned back to the wall.
 
"I am not that strong; you don't know how difficult it is to see Ayan in the bed of the hospital. You can't imagine how much he cried because of the anaesthesia." This is the reason he fainted before surgery, and I stopped everything because he is not strong enough; his bones are too weak; he needs to be strong for this. That's why I took this step and became more strict toward him, but how can I take him to the hospital for surgery when he is still not strong, and this is all because of you and Big B? Nowadays he won't listen to us or talk back to us whenever we stop him for anything. You all know his heart is not strong, and still, no one stops him from running. Now see Big B allow him to play cricket. I know he is still a kid and wants to play, but we can't take risks with his health. You are making things more difficult for me, and I am telling you I am not stronger than before. I can't see him like I saw him crying over a shot. He said this all in a cracked voice. He may look like a tough guy, but he is human too. Rihaan bit his lips in guilt. Yes, he is right; nowadays Ayan is crossing his limits; he has become more of a brat; he always disobeys them.
 
"He is right, Ri; you and Big B spoilt him a lot, Armaan said and closed his eyes, but they didn't know that someone heard their whole conversation with teary eyes.
 
"I can't afford to lose him, Arhaan said in a cracked voice. He ran a hand through his hair and gulped his saliva as he walked toward the door.
 
"AYAN!!!"He shouted, Ayan, stop playing and look at Arhaan.
 
"Ji, Baba, he shouted back. Armaan, Arbaaz, and Rihaan looked at each other and came outside.
 
"Come here; it's enough."
 
"Baba, it's the last over." He shouted back and started to play. Arhaan gritted his teeth; so they were right now, and he started to disobey them.
 
"AYAN, COME HERE RIGHT NOW!!" He shouted in anger, and Ayan flinched and made a pout and walked toward Arhaan, but he stopped.
 
"No, first I complete this over." He said like a stubborn kid and again turned, but Arhaan took a step toward him and pulled him by the arm and dragged him toward the house left his arm and spanked him on his back hard. Armaan, Arbaaz, and Rihaan's eyes widened; Ayan's eyes became teary because this was not a normal slap; Arhaan's hand was too heavy. Rihaan felt bad for his baby, but he didn't say anything.
 
"Didn't I tell you to stop playing?"He shouted, Ayan, look down!
 
"Now, if I saw you behaving like that, I am not going to spare you, and you know me better, and if you break any rule that Arbaaz made, I will punish you hard. I am clear?" He asked and looked at Ayan, who nodded, but he jolted when Arhaan once again spanked him.
 
"Yes, I understand. Sorry." He said in tears, Arhaan, look back at Armaan, who gulped and took Ayan in an embrace and tried to rub his back where Arhaan hit him, but he stopped when he met with Arhaan's dark eyes. He took Ayan to his room, who started to sob in his arms.
 
Arhaan turned to Arbaaz, who felt like his soul left his body; Rihaan shivered too.
 
"Now I will do everything to keep my baby safe, but remember I want my baby with me. I don't care what you will do, but if something happens to my baby, then no one is going to run away from me. I am clear?" He said in a dark voice, Arbaaz's throat became dry. He nodded, but Arhaan put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed hard, and Arbaaz flinched.
 
"Yes, I do my best, Big B. Don't worry; nothing will happen to our baby." He said with a lot of difficulties, Arhaan's eyes became teary.
 
"P.romise?" he asked like kids;  Arbaaz held his hand in his hands and gave a squeeze.
 
"Promise, he said and hugged Arhaan, who hugged him back and then walked away. Arbaaz released his breath. Rihaan could see Arbaaz's legs shivering in fear.
 
"I felt like I was going to pee in my pants. He looked so scary when he was in an angry mood, he said, and Rihaan looked at him and then...
 
 
 
 
"Ewww!!"
