Ouch!

The glass cup slightly hit Debu on his shoulder. Debu fakely groaned in pain and rubbed his arms. Vivaan dashed down him while Timnasa clicked her tongue in failure.

"Oops! Looks like somebody took you as a dustbin!" Ananya chuckled slightly.

"Yes! I received for what I did!" Debu laughed rubbing his arm.

"Sorry! Bhaiya and Didi! Well I was drinking water and was about to throw the cup when I slipped and it hit you two! I am sorry! Please!" Vivaan apologised on an instant.

"Its alright Vivaan! It happens!" Debu gave up, "Its just a return of Karma!" He said.

"Karma?" Vivaan asked.

"I accidently hit Ananya with a cup and in end I got hit by the cup by you!"Debu explained.

"You mean tit-for-tat!" Vivaan asked.

"Oh wow! You two are so much similar! You two just think same! Nice!" Ananya commented in exclamation.

Ise hi to kehte hain Blood Bond!

Vivaan held his hand. Debu was taken aback at the moment. Suddenly a memory rushed back in his mind. The day before he came to know about Kaal Devta and Timnasa's secret hideout. It was the day when Debu for the very first time felt grateful for his fate. It was the day when Debu first recieved a name that he would always cherish. A relationship for which he would risk his life without hesitation.

It was the day when Vivaan first called him 'Bhaiya'. That one word changed his entire life. He felt a new familiarity in himself. In his past Debu after learning about his adoption from Rani Pari hated the cruelty of his fate. He wanted the memory of him learning his truth to fade away, to become a lie. But that never happened. To fairies who were sisters, to his friends Dooba-Dooba and Kiki and to his beloved mother Baalpari he was always loved and cherished. But somewhere he knew, to them he was more of Baalveer than their own.

But when Vivaan came in his life, he met a family. A complete different family. It was complete different feeling. To him, Vivaan became his life, his peace and his biggest reason to live. He met Karuna, a mother with no flaw and bias in her love. Khushi, the most loving and caring sister one could get. So many people who changed his entire course of perception. In this disguise, Vivaan became the biggest reason to his survival. Today in this moment this memory made his nostalgic.

*Pehli baar... aaj pehli baar khudkarz hokar soch raha huin... par bhagwaan, kaash... kaash yeh bond sachaa hota... Kash Vivaan Mera bhai hota...kaash yeh sach hota..*

Debu wished in his mind and smiled. But he knew what it was.

*But I know this is something that cannot be true. Vivaan have a loving family and many true friends. One day when Vivaan learns of my truth of this disguise m, maybe he might not trust me like before... but I can only wish that he might not stop calling me Bhaiya...*

"Bhaiya!"

Debu snapped out of his thoughts with Vivaan's call. Vivaan raised his brow cheerfuly asking about his thoughts to which, he smiled and shaked his head in a no.

Trio chatted. Ananya was very happy with Vivaan. To her he was a cute little boy with a responsible but a naughty nature too. But she was unaware that he was as dangerous as a volcano.

"Ananya didi! I really want to thank you for helping us in searching for Khushi didi and.." Vivaan looked up at Debu with sympathy in his eyes, "being with Bhaiya in my absence!"

"Really?" Ananya asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"So say na!" Ananya said with a chuckle.

Vivaan instantly in a butler like position bowed slightly and said ,

"Thank you Didi!"

"You're welcome Vivaan!" Ananya replied and looked up at Debu who smiled.

"You know what Vivaan.. you're too cute and smart!" Ananya pulled Vivaan's cheeks who smiled, "But how come your brother is dumb?"

"Hey!"

Debu looked at her dumbfounded and shocked at the same time while Vivaan was a bit upset.

"Ananya didi! If somebody else would have insulted him like that, I would have caused a rift! But because you're new here, I would like to inform you clearly for once and for all! Debu bhaiya is not a duffer!" Vivaan said with a calm mature smile.

"Wow! Younger brother protecting big brother! Nice!" Ananya complimented.

"Yes" Vivaan looked up at Debu with a smile.

Debu Bhaiya smart hain.. par dikhate nahi hai!

Vivaan said smiling. But his eyes had clear doubt in them. He gently moved behind him.

Debu Bhaiya problem solver hain, par dikhate nahi!

It didn't took long enough for Debu to realise what exactly Vivaan meant. He could feel his suspicious eyes behind him trying to read his mind.

Debu bhaiya bahadur hain! Par dikhate nahi!

Vivaan arrived at Debu's opposite side with a smile. Debu's expressions turned serious. He instantly looked at Vivaan with a questioning look. But Vivaan hid it with his smiley face.

"And I can challenge you that Debu bhaiya is bet dancer of the party!" Vivaan announced to Ananya who was chuckling at his words.

*Yes! That's something I am-*

"HEY WHAT?!"

Debu looked at Vivaan in a shocked and puzzled reaction as soon as he said that. Ananya looked up at Debu in a surprise and took that as a challenge.

"Oh really?" Ananya asked with a challenging look.

"Yes!" Vivaan agreed.

"Then lets have a face-off on the dance floor!" Ananya challenged.

"Yes!"

Vivaan agreed. Even before Debu could speak another word, he was dragged away by Vivaan to dance unaware a danger awaiting for them there. Debu was nervous as hell.

Ever since a child, Debu had excelled everything except one. Dance. It's not like he didn't like it or something, it's just he couldn't do it. Many times he was mocked by people which became his only flaw which he thought it was. Though at times this fear made him dance the best, but under his own will to dance he never won over it.

As soon as they reached dance floor, announcement was made. He could only hear his heart thumping in fear.

Vivaan? Yeh tumne mujhe kahan fasa diya!! 😵‍💫😵‍💫
