Summersolt of stomach and thundering of heart, dj vibing in brain and thoughts in Olympics.

That's exactly what Dev felt in that single moment of silence which stretched to eternity. He cursed his mind for joking at the most unexpected moment but his brain was definitely wired differently.

As unexpected as it could be the Mumbai roads were too kind upon him that they had a self block on the name of traffic, the constant horns almost turned into a music tone but being thankful to his fate he could come out of it before it could become one. And rushed through the time or against the time whatever it was called.

And he made a history of arriving 30 sec before the meeting.

He very well knew in for it and standing there in front of his brothers cabin his for one drastic minute straight before a cold voice reached his oh so blissful ears. He was realising it wonderfully that even when as a brother he used to talk in a cold voice it was decent enough but as a boss he was scaring him more than the whole monsters under the bed concept did to him in the childhood.

He slowly opened the door and peeked in only to see the hunter sitting on his chair looking at screen calmly.

Very calmy to be precise.

"You called me b-Sir" he instantly corrected his lapse. It was a mutual understanding between them to call him 'sir' instead of 'bhaiya'. There Bhaiya as a boss never wanted to do any sort of partiality with anyone but hesitated to tell him that. He even didn't wanted his brother to get a wrong image so he sat back and told him about this and much to Abhimanyu's satisfaction Dev didn't mind it at all and instead agreed to what he was saying.

"Why did you came now Devansh you could have come half an hour later" Abhimanyu's sarcastic comment did meet its needful reaction as Dev cringed internally.

'There comes the infamous Gabbar Singh Rawte'

"I am sorry Sir" he politely apologized knowing he was actually at fault today. That was so irresponsibe of him to forget the file home. Had he got late it wouldn't be just the company's reputation at stake but many people's hardwork would be wasted.

Despite having such a great staff if they couldn't give them the proper stage to showcase their talent and find a living from it as a boss his brother would fail to do he was wrong on many accounts that way.

"Why are you sorry Devansh" he again asked his tone unfazed. He knew his brother was intern and mistakes were a part and parcel of learning but if mistakes were a part then a proper guidance were also his work. As a boss he would explain him his problem and as a brother he would guide him through.

"I should not have forgot the file at home I am sorry" he said genuinely feeling guilty at his fault. Abhimanyu sighed at his understanding.

"This is the first time you are doing it and this must be the last time too you are allowing yourself to be irresponsibile try it again and I assure you, you will not like the consequences" Abhimanyu explained him in a firm words and Dev just nodded his head casting his eyes at the floor.

"Now sit back I want to talk" he called Dev pointing at the seat in front of him. His voice was no more strict but it was not soft too. Dev sat there confused at such a command.

"Khaana khaya bacha" Abhimanyu questioned him this time softly and Dev finally sighed in peace.

And there is there bhaiya who is far away better than THE GSR.

"Finally bhaiya aap bhaiya wala form main aagaye aur nahi khaya na bohot bhook lagi patah hai mujhe toh laga Aaj daat se hi pet bhara na hoga patah bhi hai aapko kitna daata aapne apne is pyaare se bache ko matlab main puchu kese kese daat lete hoon is nanha sa chehra dekh kar aap huh- puch bhaiya" Dev rambeled out but in his speech he overlooked Abhimanyu walking towards him who held his ears and slightly pulled it.
