My sunshine talking to her oldest brother, demanding things. 

_________

Can you all please show your support?

You know I am new to all this, this writing and publishing. Especially daring to publish something that I didn't even know I had courage in me to do that. And now that I am at it I am being greedy for some acknowledgement. 

Maybe I am wrong to demand this, maybe I am not writing upto your standards, maybe this is not for me or maybe I am being too impatient. These maybes and many more are just cascading down on me like a building being demolished during earthquake that is catastrophic. 

I am little embarrassed to ask this again and again but please tell me how I am doing in writing. tell me what do I need to improve? if my story being boring or too sentimental? Anyway, let me not waste much of your time due to my personal feelings. 

Enjoy Reading!!!

What a hectic and exhausting day it was! I mean, sitting quietly without even moving your neck for 35 minutes during the test is no joke because Akul needs silence—utter silence—to be done with mathematics questions quickly. And I am the most acclimated person who can smoothly adapt to copying answers, even in the cacophonous sound of guns all around me.

Had it not been for our faintly similar appearances, people would be skeptical about us being twins. We are poles apart. The only similarity is our unassailable connection with each other and our other brothers. I immensely love each of them. So does he.

We are both in the car, going home. It's the weekend. A family day tomorrow. Now that we have one addition to ours, I am looking forward to how it will go. Usually, Sundays are all about lazing around with everyone. Bhaiyas cook food all three times of the day, snacks too, and movies, filling everyone in on what has been going on in our lives the entire week. Ethi bhaiya keenly pays attention to Akul and mine's study this day, much to our dismay, checking on each one of our needs to see if we need something or need to go out for shopping or things like that. Mainly us, the better halves of each other's means, Akul and me. Watching movies or doing whatever we feel like to relax ourselves. It's a family day. We all spend it together. Being one. Just like Ethi Bhaiya emphasizes, we are one. One unit. The only day of the week, Ethi Bhaiya, rather acts like Bhaiya instead of a hitler. Do I care? No. Do I still irk him? I do. Do I still prank him? Yes. Do I disturb him in his meetings? Of course. Yet every time he picks up the call, he responds to our messages. I love him the most, and he loves me too. He never scolds, never raises his voice, and just doesn't behave with tenderness for obvious reasons.

Enthusiastic is one word to describe what I am feeling. First, because she is my sister now, and I am no longer the youngest. Oh, that reminds me to learn to be a good elder brother to her. I will have to learn how to protect her. And I put more effort into my physical training. We all learn since we are mafia princes. Especially me, the only one with a hot, smart, and charming personality. Akul is too, but I am the handsomest. Girls die. What if someday they get obsessed with me and trespass their limits? So I have to be prepared in advance, right? Of course, right? I know I am right. I can never be wrong. Anyway, now for my little doll, too. It is my responsibility to protect my doll from any sort of perilous situation.

The second is that I will have to start doing stuff that will make her fond of me, something like a favorite brother sort of thing. That will give me ample advantage by having her by my side. Obviously, she is the only female presence in our lives. And if I know my brothers in the slightest, they will never dismiss her stubbornness. Like veto power in my own hands. See, I told you I was shrewd. No one believes me, only because I don't get an A+ in my academic subjects. Nevermind.
