Asmanjash - Rawte Brothers Book 2

15. Baby Boy

Confusion laced with irritation!

That's what he exactly felt at the moment. Abhimanyu silently gazed at the boy as he diced the vegetables. They were home good two hours back but this boy was usually silent but at the same time he was smiling sheepishly. Abhimanyu gave him a last look as he added the diced vegetables into the mix.

"Kuch kahega bhi ya maun vrat dhari bane ka plan hai" He couldn't help but ask when the silence prevailed. Atharv looked at him suddenly attentive but smiled again when he remembered the reason behind his happiness. He jumped off the kitchen slab he was sitting upon and tightly hugged him wrapping his hands around his torso startling Abhimanyu slightly.

"I love you bhaiya" Atharv squeled loudly jumping at his place and Abhimanyu chuckled at his child like expressions of happiness and joy.

"Ha patah hai aur kuch" He teased him, he knew Atharv did not liked his dodging the answer but he loved teasing this boy here.

"Kya matlab patah hai that's not the answer you give bhaiya" as expected Atharv made faces hearing that reply. Abhimanyu turned his face to hide the smile forming on his face.

"Patah hai patah hai I know that iske alawa kya hi kahu main batah" Abhimanyu continued to tease him annoying Atharv more. By then he completely forgot what he was extremely happy about.

"Yaar bhaiya stop teasing me and tell me" Atharv tried patiently.

"What should I say I don't know"

"Tell me that you love me too bhaiya"

"Are how can I say that"

"From your mouth bhaiya"

"Nah not in mood"

"Bhaiya" He whined at his brother and turned his face away being upset. Abhimanyu shook his head he was learning their dramatics well by now that he very well knew how much upset he actually was.

"Are bapre itne mote mote gal yeh toh tamatar ko bhi competition de rahe hai" Abhimanyu joked poking his swollen cheeks and Atharv playfully slapped his hands away. Abhimanyu smiled they have really came a long way in the past a year. From not even knowing what to say or do infront of each other they were taking leverage to actually showing whats in their heart. He couldn't help but feel the happiness and satisfaction in him as if he just achieved something really important.

"Naraz hai Mera bacha mujhse" Abhimanyu asked putting him hand around Atharv's shoulders who tried shrugging it of but shamelessly snuggled in when he couldn't actually do that. Despite that act of his he was silent trying to show that he was upset.

"Acha Baba bhaiya ka chota sa pyaar sa nanha sa Jaan maaf bhi karde acha I love you too mera bacha so very much, itna itna saara" Abhimanyu spoke up spreading his hands showing how much he loves him. Atharv bit his cheeks not wanting to smile. Their bhaiya looked so cute when he actually behaved like them. It made them feel that somewhere their little bhaiya the one which they have seen in the video is still there.

"Aur maaf kar dunga toh kya milega mujhe batavo" Atharv asked him and Abhimanyu leaned back on the slab thinking deeply about his question.

"What do you want me to do?" Abhimanyu asked sighing. Atharv looked at him amused, the person who can cut a perfect deal even in his sleep for giving him the power. The domaniting person he had seen the first time was so different from their bhaiya who gladly become powerless just for their sake.

"What about you convince Mamma to-" Atharv began saying only to be cut by Abhimanyu.

"Ask me anything other than convincing her" Abhimanyu immediately cut off not really ready to hear that. The last time he had tried convincing her for something she had almost burnt his ears giving him an earful as to how he should not side him always. Abhimanyu winced internally however big of a parent figure or a disciplinarian he might be for the kids, Avantika still effectively toed him in line without doing much, unfortunately he was still the kid infront of her but why was he liking that feeling.
