Nayab

Chapter 6

◉ I don't know what it's like to not feel deep emotions, even when I feel nothing , I feel it completely ◉

Taksh had a great plan and if by any chance it went south , I had an even better plan i.e blame everything on him. What? He could do this for his little sister after being absent and lying all along. Yes , I'm gonna use this fact for lifelong against all my brothers and yes being manipulative is our genes itself.

" Ah , ouch oh my god I'm dying" I cried out holding my ankle whilst sitting on the couch.

" God dammit you aren't suffering from a heart stroke , cut the dramatics." Taksh groaned.

" I need to get tears , how do I do it?"

" I don't know! Think about something that makes you sad."

.

" I can't cry , good god , no one's gonna believe me."

"Yaar" Taksh looked like he would love to die rather than spend a minute more around me. Tough luck though our parents brought us together and now we gotta do what we gotta do.

He came over towards the spot where I was sprawled out and suddenly pinched me on my arm making me yelp.

" Ah! " I cried out and yet he didn't leave my arm. Stinging pain was left behind when I finally showed him away.

" You ass , I'm gonna totally snitch on you to Bhai." I complained while rubbing my sore arm.

Taksh that unbothered aashole just shrugged and said, " well I got the job done" and only then I realised I had tears clinging my eyes.

" And young lady you are a princess, no cuss words , alright?" He reprimanded.

That was Taksh for you. He was balanced. As balanced as the sky. He knew when to turn bright so that people could see in the darkness of midnight and on the other hand he knew when to tone it down so as to not overpower.

Soon enough the gaurd stationed outside came running and after back and forth questioning we finally landed in the hospital , right below maa's hospital floor.HA! Mission accomplished.

Taksh and I were both lounging on the hospital bed , him sleeping upside down with drinks in our hands when the door opened and I casted a bored glance thinking it was the nurse again running unnecessary tests but to our surprise it was a Dracula. We were fucked was all I could think with parted lips and bewildered expression all over my face but Taksh was too lost in la la land to even turn his head and check.

"I thought my sister was the patient" Rudra Bhaiya drawled out while learning against the door in his dark brioni suit that matched his eyes perfectly.

Taksh startled awake and sat up straight with shock all over his face as if he had seen horses flying in broad daylight.

"Bhai , hi." He drawled out sheepishly. Well it was good to know that someone else also feared the big bad wolf of the family and I wasn't the only coward.

Rudra Bhaiya entered and flicked Taksh on his head and I heard him cry out dramatically but I zoned out , unwanted negative thoughts that I had thought to never ponder upon making it's way in my brain. God , it hurt to know I didn't know the family dynamics, I didn't know what my brothers liked or disliked anymore nor did I know how they worked around each other for fuck's sake I didn't even know how my dad aged and thses thoughts were enough to make my heart ache like anything. Why was I stranger to my own family? Family? Could I even consider myself part of them?

I was brought back to reality when Rudra Bhaiya gently layed a hand on my supposedly injured leg and inspected it with furrowed brows and I was quick enough to pull my leg towards me fearing he might figure out all our stupid lies.
