Milan- Rawte Brothers Book 1

26. What is the Truth?

A tired Abhimanyu was warmly welcomed by a bear hug from Atharv the moment he entered the house. He was startled by the sudden reaction but still caught the hold of his laughing brother and smiled for his sake.

"Aap agaye bhaiya" Atharv's voice soft and his action cute brought out a true smile on his face.

"Nahi ab bhi raste main hoo" Abhimanyu couldn't help but tease him and Atharv made faces at his sarcasm but didn't say anything. Abhimanyu looked around and frowned at the silence of the house.

"Main aapka favourite news reporter Atharv Sethi aap tak yeh exclusive coment pohanchana chahta hai ki tapman bohot high hai jiske chalte aapko heat strokes ane ke bohot chances hai kripiya apni thandi banaye rakhe" Atharv replied his unasked question acting like a news reporter. Abhimanyu looked at him confused but his eyes widened when he realized what he was talking about. Before he could say something they jumped out of their skin hearing a voice.

"Atharv Sethi you better come back in next ten seconds or else I am going to slow toast you alive" A startled Abhimanyu and Atharv looked over only to see Dev leaning on the wall smirking at him.

"Was that you Devansh" Dev gulped at the intensity of looks he was getting. Maybe pranking them at their mother's name was not right after all. He tried giving them a nervous smile but winced when his face met with a pillow.

"Big-B yaar esa prank kon karta hai patah hai main kitna dar gaya tha mujhe laga ki maine kuch gadbad kiya tha waise bhi kya kam gussa nahi hai wo" he rambled out in fear as if he was just going to prosecuted and Dev and Abhimanyu shared a look finding that a bit over. Maybe they haven't still seen their mother's real angry face or they would have gladly joined Atharv.

"Are kya tu bhi Baby boo mummy hai wo humare jailer nahi jo itna tension ley raha hai chill kar kuch nahi hoga aur tune aisa kya kiya" He asked sitting back on the sofa where Abhimanyu was already sitting watching the show. Atharv looked at them wide eyed, what are they saying that their mother was not strict.

"Well yeah she is not to much just a synonym oh lucifer in anger" he couldn't help but bring sarcasm in his tone and Abhimanyu chuckled at that annoying Dev.

"Yaar bhaiya aap mere side the na app is dinosaur ko side kyu ley rahe ho" Devansh complained.

"Main dinosaur excuse me yeah right jaise aap bilkul lizard ki tarah lag rahe ho" Atharv's reply fueled Dev as he sat straight glaring at him. It was now a matter of pride for both of them.

"Orangatun" Dev started the war pushing his sleeves up.

"Crocodile" Atharv replied without backing down.

"Haathi"

"Khargosh"

"Aaamm- yeah Bhalu"

"Chuha"

"Aur main ghada dono chup karo okay" Abhimanyu growled irritated at both of their antics. They were fighting like a kindergarten kids.

"Pagal ho gaye ho kya dono yah bakwaas karne ke alawa aur koi kaam nahi hai dono ke pass" Abhimanyu ran a hand through his hand through his hair when he heard a gasp. He looked at both of them confused at their reaction.

"Bhaiya aap ko yeh chot kaise lagi" Atharv grew concern seeing the red patches on the cloth he wrapped around his hand. Abhimanyu looked at him and then at his hands understanding the question.

"Are yeh to choti si chot hai tu tension mat ley I am fine okay" He tried calming him down but Atharv didn't buy anything. He took his hands in his own and gently unwrapped the cloth so softly that one mistake and it would hurt his brother. Atharv gasped and his eyes filled up seeing the hurt.
