Ummeed (Raichand Siblings Saga-Book 1)

31- Late Night Games & Late Night History Lessons!

I had zero motivation to write this chapter guys but then a comment re-ignited the urge to write a chapter for this book. Thanks for that.

I got barely 20 comments on last chapter and am thankful for each one of them. Rest..to those 80+ silent voters, it's a humble request to leave some comments. Or else I'll have to put this book on hiatus.

Arjun entered Meher's room to wake her up. Honestly the girl could sleep into the next day if no one bothered to wake her up. He was sure that she had not bothered to set her alarm clock. Not that it would have mattered at all. Out of the few times she set an alarm every single time the alarm had lost in its attempt of battling her out of sleep zone!

He found her sleeping in the most uncivilized position as if she she had gotten transmigrated into the body of an eight legged spider in her dreamland. He picked up the comforter tossed away on the floor and kept it aside for her to fold. It was one of the habits he was really particular about himself and had inculcated in each of his siblings. Making one's own bed. He firmly believed that it taught responsibility to a child from a very young age. 

Arjun- "Get up, Meher. It's past 9. Come on."

Meher sleepily- "Sone do dadu. Ek din ki toh chutti hai warna Roz subah 7 baje hi tandav shuru ho jata hai!"

Arjun raised his eyebrow. The girl showed a completely different side of hers to Vansh. "Accha? Kaun karta hai ye tandav."

Meher turning to face the other side- "Hitler ya phir part time Hitler."

Arjun narrowed his eyes at that. So this one also called him Hitler? But this part time Hitler was new and he had quite an idea about who held the title. He mentally laughed but then maintained a stern face. He can't let her get away with this.

Arjun harshly- "Get up Meher." and made her sit up.

Meher woke up with a start and gave an irritated look to Arjun. Who wakes up someone like that? Of course! The great Arjun Raichand, huh. She was about to give him a good piece of her mind when her mind actually started working and the conversation she had a few seconds back came rushing to her mind. Her eyes widened and she looked at Arjun nervously. Before he could say something,

Mehe hugging Arjun-  "Good Morning, Bhaiya. I love you so so much. Bhul jao Maine jo bhi bola. Neend me mai pagal ho jaati hu. But abhi, I am in my senses and what I say now matters right? So yes! I love you so so much, Bhaiya."

Arjun shook his head fondly. The girl spoke a lot of nonsense but everytime she said 'I love you', it tugged at his heartstrings.

Arjun whacking her gently- "9:30 baj gaye. Go get ready!"

Meher went away as quickly as she could and Arjun shook his head. "Badmaash!" he mumbled fondly.

Arjun was warming up the breakfast when he felt a pair of hands around him. He didn't have to turn to know who it was.

Vansh- "Good Morning Bhaiya."

Arjun sarcastically- "Thodi der me afternoon ho jaayega beta."

Vansh- "Abhi 2 ghante hai usme."

Arjun turned around and whacked him gently. He walked towards the table saying, "Chutti matlab ye nahi ki pura din sone me hi nikal do."

He looked at Vansh and frowned- "Teri aankhe itni laal kyun hai?"

Vansh hesitated- "Uh..woh so ke uth ke bohot rub kar diya na isiliye."

Arjun wasn't convinced but nodded nonetheless.
