Here it is! Enjoy

________________________________________________________________________

Few days passed by. Rishi was sulking to the moon and back. His bhaiya was still giving him his infamous silent treatment. He had tried everything from reciprocating the treatment to begging for his forgiveness but nothing seemed to work. He was acting like he didn't even exist yet all his actions revolved around him. From scolding him indirectly to discreetly putting a second serving of butter chicken in his bowl, his actions were making him pout like a 5 year old!

Meanwhile Vansh was totally enjoying the show. Well it could be argued that he had nothing better to do as his bhaiya had grounded him for 2 weeks for forging his signature but deep down he knew that this was not the reason. The sole reason was that whenever his bhaiya dragged his Bhaiyu to his place like this, he feels an immense satisfaction surging through him. He loves to tease his Bhaiyu!

Meher was still regretting her actions on a daily basis for two hours in the evening. Rishi has been teaching her history DAILY besides teaching her the usual maths and science. And the fact that he's been grumpy these days due to Arjun's silent treatment doesn't help at all. She hopes that for her well-being both her stubborn elder brothers start talking soon.

"Bhaiya!" Rishi said abruptly from the back while Arjun was cooking. If not for Arjun's ACP reflexes, the spatula would have surely slipped from Arjun's hand. Arjun closed his eyes irritated. His brother was a priced idiot.

"Sakshi agar koi kitchen me stove ki taraf face karke kaam kar raha ho toh use achanak se nahi bulaya jaata." he said through gritted teeth.

Sakshi rolled her eyes. These Raichand brothers were priced idiots, her very own idiots. But she didn't want to give herself a headache by coming in between them. She walked out of the kitchen with the washed carrots royally ignoring both the brothers.

Rishi went and sat on the counter trying to look  catch his brother's attention. No such luck .

 "Mujhe Vanu ki tarah cute banana nahi aata aur Meher jaisi nautanki toh bilkul hi nahi ho paati. Aap batao kya sikhu? Or else aap ye silent treatment toh aur lamba khichenge!"

Arjun internally rolled his eyes. Look who was talking!The one who had given both his little kids exclusive classes for dodging him.

"4 din me chalees baar sorry bol diya. Ab bolo aur kya karu? Bhaiyaaaaa" he whined like a child.

He jumped down the counter and hugged him from his side. "I won't ever break into someone's house again. Sorry na ab Maan jao."Arjun put the dish on low flame and turned his attention to him. Took him so many days to get the words out.

"Really?" he asked sarcastically.

Rishi rolled his eyes. He knew the moment he uttered out the stupid promise, his bhaiya would give in. Arjun Raichand knew how to achieve his goals! 

"Yes sir!" he fired back. Arjun narrowed his eyes and was about to turn back to the stove.

Rishi- "Aree are phir se gussa nahi ho jao. Main sacchi kisi ke Ghar me nahi ghusunga. Apne Ghar me ghusne se pehle bhi aapko call karke permission le lunga. Bas?"

Arjun was still not convinced. "Next time se police ko lead dunga aur unke evidence laane ka wait karunga."

Arjun smirked and nodded while Rishi felt a sulk coming over. This man never played fair!
