My eyes can't believe this! My brother and Isha Di are kissing, no no they're eating each other. Oh God! This is so wild. Even Aarush hadn't kissed me like this even when he was angry with me but my brother. . . Oh shit! I shouldn't comment on their kissing, right? Why do I keep looking at this? Look like they don't even realise my presence because of the kiss.

"Excuse me?" I sounded out. They both flinched and looked in my direction.

"Princess?"
"Yeah, it's me. What is going on? Huh?" I asked cocking my brow.

"Riti, look it's not like you're thinking, okay?" My brother said.

"I saw what was happening here and I'm mature enough to realize what is going on between you. So say, when did this start? A few days ago or a few weeks?" I asked wiggling my eyebrows.

"Actually three years ago," Isha Di said, her words made me shook. For three years they were in a relationship and my brother didn't even care to share it with me. A slight pain struck my heart.

"For three years you both are in a relationship?" I asked.

"Yeah," Eattan said as he came forward but I was fast to move away from him.

"You were in a relationship for three years and you didn't say anything to me I mean you don't need my permission to date anyone but at least you can say that to me, right? I thought we shared everything with each other but you proved it wrong," I said to him.

"Riti, look we were going to say this to you when we get a perfect time," he said.

"When was that perfect time? In these three years, you didn't get a perfect time to say this to me. How many times have I asked you if you have anyone in your life? Or did you find anyone? But you said 'no' to me. You lied to me these years. Let me ask this why didn't you tell me this? There will be a reason that you didn't say to me this, right?" I asked.

"Because we thought you wouldn't like. . . our relationship. I mean I'm your friend's sister, right? So--"
"So you thought what I will stand against your relationship or I would judge your relationship? That means you didn't even know me a little bit. For God's sake, he is my brother and his happiness matters to me. If you had said to me this earlier I would be the happiest one of all. I would be the first one to stand in front to support your relationship," I said to her.

"Leave her. You're my brother you know me from the day I was born, right? Then how did you fail to understand me, Eatta? If you failed in that, how Isha Di can understand me who has only known me for just seven years." I said.

"Riti, listen--"
"Oh please I don't want to hear any excuses. I understand that you like to keep your privacy and you want to keep your relationship to yourself. It's okay, it is totally fine. You didn't see me as I'm seeing you. It's okay." My voice shakes, and I can feel the burning sensation behind my eyes.

"Lily-Oh shit, did she find out?" My head snapped in that direction, Ishaan, Ruhi and Arjun were standing on the stairs.

"Oh, so sir were also aware of this. What about you both Ru and Aju?" I asked them.

"We didn't know anything, Riti. What are you talking about?" Ruhi said.

"Aju, don't you know this before?" I asked him.

"I know it before you," he said.

"Wow! So everyone kept it from me," I said.

"What are you saying? What did you know before her?" Ruhi asked him.

"I will say it later, Ru," Aju said to Ruhi.

"Why later?" I asked him.

"Ru, my brother and Isha Mehra have been in a relationship for three years," I said to her.
