The Delphic Emir

Who Was That?

Author's POV:

Karthik groaned in his sleep as the chuckles and talks disturbed him. He pulled his duvet over him and tried covering his ears, but nothing bet the loud noises of the ladies who were busy discussing their marital lives.

" Shut the fuck up!" Karthik screamed with his eyes still closed. He slowly opened his eyes and saw his sister whose eyebrows rose in question. Karthik looked at her in astonishment and gulped looking around. He wanted to confirm that it was not his dream.

" It's not your dream Bhai, I'm really here." Virana said drily to tease him. Karthik slowly got onto his feet and walked to his sister whose glow was im-matchable.

" You are really here." He mumbled and Virana gagged.

" You are stinking Bhai. Please go and brush your teeth and give yourself a nice bath too." Virana complained and Karthik held his head groaning in pain.

Karthik without any delay rushed to his sister and hugged the life out of her.

" Bhai, you are choking me." Virana complained and Karthik's silent tears drenched her shoulders. Virana's heart clenched seeing how much her brother missed her.

" I love you Bhai. I missed you." Virana whispered and Karthik nodded. He gently caressed her hair and placed a delicate kiss on her temple. There was a huge smile on his lips and Virana chuckled seeing the kid in her brother.

The sound of the water stopped in the bathroom and Diya came out in a robe and her hair rolled in a towel.

Karthik passed her a glance and walked inside the washroom to take a quick bath.

Virana looked at Diya and hugged her gently.

" Thank you for coming on short notice Viru," Diya mumbled and Virana chuckled.

" I know my brother D. It was just me blinded by anger for a small period." Virana reasoned nodding her head.

" I need to go to the office. I'll get ready." Diya said and Virana nodded. She walked behind Diya into the closet and pointed at the outfit she liked. Diya sighed and wore them and Virana's eyes glistered in joy seeing the red love bites all over her cleavage, shoulder and neck.

" Oh my God, was that my brother's work?" Virana squealed and Diya's cheeks turned crimson. She tried to dodge the question but her constant pestering made her nod.

" My fucking God, I thought you people were not on talking terms." Virana asked excitedly.

" He was drunk last night and we just had our moments. He doesn't remember any." Diya smiled sadly which didn't even reach her eyes.

" He may not remember what he did, but for sure, he had those intentions D." Virana winked making her chuckle her heart out.

" The Prince of Darkness is a gentleman." Virana boosted about her brother.

" My Prince is just Dark and a Gentleman." Diya winked giving Virana some other ideas.

" Yeah! Dark on the bed and a Gentleman in front of others." Virana winked trying to contain her laugh

Diya glared at her naughty sister-in-law who changed herself after she got married.

" I see that Prince Lakshya has changed you a lot. He snatched the filter from your mouth I see." Diya smirked and Virana's smile fell. Her neck and cheeks slowly embraced the blush making Diya aware of the growing bond between the newlyweds.

" It was you who got him wedded to me. Ain't you?" Virana asked making Diya still. Diya opened her mouth to justify her actions, but nothing came out of her mouth.
