A nineteen-year-old boy was sitting on the sofa with an eleven-year-old girl who was sitting beside him, with her legs on his lap. He was massaging her, but she was crying uncontrollably, which looked more like a drama while talking to him "Dekho bhai," she said, showing him her completely red palm, "kitna mara unhone, is full si bacchi ko" she said while sobbing "kitna" He asked tiredly as she repeated the same line for the fifth time "8 times who bhi ruler se or toh or 30 minutes corner pe khada rakha abhi bhi pair dukh rahe hai" she said, showing his palm and legs, and he nodded "Pta hai pure hitler hai, are Hitler ke dada, pardada sab ki death hui, yeh paida hue honge" she said and the boy in front of him try to control his laugh looking behind him


And the girl, unknown to all, didn't stop her ranting. "Are itna bhi kya? Hitler hona choti so toh galti ki thi, aap hi batao bhai sahi hai kya itna gussa hona?"  "So, Miss Sinha, aap yeh bhi toh bataye na apne bhai ko ki aapki choti si galti kya thi," listening to this stern voice, Khwahish immediately stood up, hiding her hand behind and looked up slowly, "bh...bhaiya," she said, looking at Riyansh. It's not part of her plan. While trying to get sympathy from her brother, she didn't think she needed to tell what she did. But now her bhaiya is here, and also listened her rubbish. She just hit herself in mind. Why did she choose the dining room? She could have chosen her room too.

 "Bhaiya, we were just talking," said Khwahish, hoping her brother would be lenient. But whom is she kidding? She can't let Alekh know about her deeds, or her punishment will be twice as severe. She glanced at her hand—poor hand. No, she has to do something. "Aa mujhe chakker aa rahe hai," she said and took a wobbling step, only to receive a whack from Aalekh and a knowing glare from Riyansh. She immediately straightened up and gave them a sheepish smile.

"Mere sath hi aisa kyu hota hai? Serial main jab vamp natak karti hai toh sab uski care karte hai. Main karti hu toh maar padti, are kuki tu heroin hai na," her inner voice replayed, and she cringed, imagining herself as a heroine, because their life is full of problems.

"Back to earth, miss," she heard Aalekh's voice and closed her imaginary world. "Is hafte main 4th time kiya hai tune yeh natak or ek bhi baar success nahi hui," he said. "Toh aap dono bhi 4th time interrogation kar rahe ho?" she spoke, only to receive a whack from Reyansh. " are yaar, punching bag upar room hai? Aap dono ne to is phool si bacchi ko punching bag samajh rakha hai," she spoke, only to receive a not-so-gentle whack from Aalekh. 

"Yaar, why can't I control my tough?""so miss,what did you done" asked Aalekh in not so gentle tone " why did I need to dig another hole for myself? Get ready for another punishment," spoke her inner voice. Then, Riyyansh snapped his fingers in front of her. She looked at him with her innocent grey eyes, but it had zero effect on him.

 "Miss Sinha, speak before I make you," said Riyyansh as he stepped toward her. She immediately took a step back, saying, "Bhaiya, let me explain." She looked at Aalekh when she received a glare from Riyyansh. "It was just a harmless prank," she said. "Harmless, and on whom, your friend?" asked Riyyansh in a mocking tone, taking another step toward her.

 "On the teacher," Khawahish chimed in, and Aalekh took a threatening step toward her. "Can't you guys talk from a distance?" she mumbled, looking down as she received two glares."Miss,speak before I make you," Aalekh continued. "Like Hitler, version 2.0,"khwahis added. "Ouch, man," she said when Aalekh whacked her, avoiding eye contact. "I just stuck chingam on teacher's book"  "that's it" asked Riyansh 

"And just stuck gum on the teacher's bench.," she explained, cursing the teacher in her mind for the long lecture she had endured, about how to respect teacher with a long list of punishment

"Look up,Miss Sinha"Khwahish heard and immediately looked up. She is shocked to see Aalekh sitting calmly on the sofa because she was expecting him burst out in anger, but he is just sitting calmly. Her mind already took precautions and alerted her. She hides her hand behind her back, ready to run out, but she knows it will do nothing good for her.

"Why?" Just a simple question, who will decide her fate? She knows better than to give her reasons. "Speak, Miss Sinha," Reyansh said in a playful manner. How can he enjoy her misery? Why can't he say the reason, but now her brothers really loved the interrogation setion.

"Because I doesn't like the chapter she was about to teach, and she scolded me yesterday without any reason,so I took my revenge" she said out her reason honestly lying was never an option for her she knows better  "Aur Yeh sab tere dimag mein aata kahaan se hai?" asked Aalekh. "Tere mobile se jo tu use hamesha deta hai," said Reyansh. Khawahish was horrified, she knows she can say goodbye to his mobile for one month.

"Which chapter is she about to teach?" asked Aalekh."Trignometry" said khwahis hatred for that chapter is evident in her voice "You haven't had any screen time for a month, and in three days, I want you to solve the entire trigonometry chapter three times," Alekh said, while Khwahish just looked at him silently, pleading through her eyes, which had no effect on them. She knows better than to protest.""Both of you are so mean," Khwahish said slowly.

 "Tell me something new," said Riyansh and pulled her into a hug. She tried to go away from his arms but was unable to, and then Aalekh also joined them, making it impossible for her to leave. She looked the other way, sulking, while both friends gave each other a knowing look, realizing they now had to make it up to their little sister. After some time, Khwahish went to her room, giving a sympathetic look to her poor hands.

Aalekh said to Riyansh, "waise Ansh mujhe ek baat samajh nhi aayi." Riyansh replied, "What?" "Yeah ki agar uske pass gam tha toh usne page bhi gum se ku nhi chipkaya chingam se chipkaane ki itni mehnat ku ki," Aalekh said, and Riyansh gave him a rough whack, "pta hai tu hi use bigdata hai ek toh yeh samjh nhi aata usme yeh sab harkate aayi kha se."

On the other side,

 A 16-year-old boy was holding a plank position in the living room for almost 15 minutes. He was all sweaty and finding it very difficult to hold the position, but he knew better than to leave the position before being told to do so. Just then, a 22-year-old man entered the room, still in uniform, and gave him a look, only saying one thing, "You deserve this." The boy just looked away.After a good 5 minutes, a man in his mid-twenties entered and asked the boy,Chirag, to stand up.

 Instead of standing up, the boy fell to the ground, making both men shake their heads. After a good 2 minutes, he stood up and looked down, "Eyes up, Chirag," he listened and immediately snapped his head toward his brother. "Sorry," he mumbled. "Now you are definitely looking sorry," said the man in a mocking tone, making Chirag cringe.

 He knew that his brother loved to punish him."Why did you beat him so much?" asked Atharv in his stern tone, making Chirag look away. Atharv and Aahir sighed tiredly. They were tired of asking this boy, but he was not ready to open his mouth. 

"I am asking you one last time, Mr. Chirag Sinha. Speak, or I won't hesitate to beat the hell out of you," Atharv said firmly. "You didn't hesitate to beat the hell out of that boy who's now in the hospital, so why hesitate now? Hmm, speak," Atharv continued, taking another step forward. But Aahir stepped between them.

 "Bhai, calm down. Let me ask him," he said. He knew better than anyone that if his little brother didn't open his mouth, he would get a good beating from their older brother. "Chinu, speak up," Aahir said in a stern tone. "Bhaiyu, aise hi maar diya yaar," said Chirag nonchalantly.

 "Chirag, don't lie," said Athrav, making Chirag look down. "Chirag, I am asking you one last time. Don't you trust me enough to tell me?" These words were the last straw for the 16-year-old boy.He has no one beside his bhaiya and bhaiyu. How can he not trust them? It's just that the topic is a little sensitive for him. He just hugged her bhaiya and cried. and Atharv also didn't pull back.

 He knows his bacha won't cry for useless things. Between his sobs, he started speaking, "Bhaiya, he questioned your upbringing, calling me an orphan and saying I deserve no one. That's why our parents left us... Bhaiya, he said you will also leave me one day," he said all this between sobs, making Aahir hug both of them from behind."Both Athrav and Aahir face these kinds of harsh words and understand how badly it affects one's mind. There is no amusement. He got provoked as he is most sensitive between them. Both brothers are just trying to give him comfort. 'We will never leave you,' both brothers said simultaneously, trying to take comfort from each other's solace."
