Abhi turned his eyes to his sister again as he held his somewhat cracking heart "Zahi what did you do?" He asked the woman who smiled eerily almost making his skin crawl. The look in her eyes upset him "what did you do?" He asked once again walking to her but she took a step back "what needed to be done he sees me" Abhi blinked "who is he?" She did not reply and being so close to her was draining him.
"This is not you Zahi snap out of it don't let him take control" she did not reply all the while Aayush just stared at Abhi his gaze not faltering "well then I'll take my leave for now" Abhi turned intending to walk away but a hand held his wrist stoping him dead in his tracks. He turned and looked up at the man who's gaze burned into him, that soul reading gaze had him enchanted for a moment.
He could not move his attention on the man just him. His gaze shifted meeting that of his sister and he saw it though it, it was quick, there was pain in those eyes as if he took something from her. He quickly and rudely pulled his wrist from Aayush "have you no manners? Touching a stranger out of nowhere is rude" he snapped at Aayush who chuckled a bit.
"A stranger. Really now?" His tone had Abhi doubtful yet he did not falter in his stance "yes a stranger you do not know me neither do I know you, it would do you good to stay away from me brother in law" with that he turned to leave almost speed walking away intending to be as far away as possible from the two. Aayush looked amused as he stared at the fleeing figure of the beautiful man 'You should know better than to order me I never listen'.
He soon turned to the woman beside him "I think it's time we head home I'm tired" Zahira nodded. Abhi stared at his phone as it kept ringing he was not ready to pick it up he knew why they were calling but he needed a little more time. The little bell chimed "yes she let herself be fooled again and this time I don't think it will be easy to rescue her" the bell chimed again.
"The answer is simple only she has the key to her own freedom" he smiled though his eyes were wet with tears he knew this time they were his own tears. His phone rang again and he sighed feeling drained he just wanted to sleep and maybe not wake up for awhile, he needed a power coma at that point. He finally decided to reply "hello father" "it's time to come back time is up, the Devis need their heir" Abhi was silent for a moment.
"Yes" he replied then hung up closing his eyes, his head hurting and he wished he was somewhere more peaceful, somewhere where he would feel no pain. Especially since the pain was doubled, he never liked it when Zahira was in pain so he took it for her, every bit of it. He smiled wiping his tears away "there is no use in crying I have work to do" he walked out of the cottage and went to his car it was time to go home, back to being Abhijith Devi the heir of the Devi family.
When he saw the familiar mansion his family lived in he felt nothing, it felt empty not like home at all not that it ever was after they grew up. "Took you long enough son welcome home" his mother smiled at him and he bowed to her a bit "don't you think it's time to cut your hair? Your sister is married now you don't need to protect her anymore" his father commented.
"I love my hair father, surely that is not what you wanted to discuss with me" the older man frowned but nodded deciding to let it go. They walked to the man's home study and he slid a stack of papers at Abhi who looked through them "you want this land for the project?" His father nodded "yes and you can make it happen after all you have to prove your worth to the entire board" Abhi blinked his long lashes his pink lips silent.
He did not argue though, it was not like it was hard he nodded and took the papers with him leaving his father's study. He entered his room it was still the same as when he left, just colder making him shudder.
"Don't you sleep on the bed as well?" Zahira asked Aayush who lay on the couch staring off into nothing "no we don't sleep together just go to sleep" he could not get those golden brown eyes off his mind as if it was some obsession. He wanted those eyes to gaze apon him again, just on him and never stray from him.
