A new day and new hustle at oberoi mansion. It's been a week since dhawal accident and since then he is working from home as he needs rest. And more particularly on the warning of there princess. As they gathered at dinning table for breakfast. Ritwik got a call from rony.

"Excuse me" ritwik excused himself and walked to living room. "Yes Rony" ritwik said.
"Bhai that boy you punched that day is messing with adhrika here. He is saying her as a slut who might got fucked by you that's why he is taking your side"
Rony said in panic. As ritiwik fisted his hands, he knew if he will go at the usual time he will not get time to show him his real place. That bastard he mutured under his breath.
"I am coming" he said rushed into dinning hall. And took his bag. He was about to walk out when dhawal called him.
"Where are you going?" Dhawal asked
"Bhai rony has landed into a small problem. Very small, don't worry I will handle." Ritwik said and dhawal nodded giving him permission.

He left the house and took his bike riding in full speed.
As soon as he reached there. He directly went to that boy. He grabbed his collar.

"Wasn't that day enough" ritwik said with blood shot eyes. As he was about to punch adhrika came and pushed them away making that boy fall and ritwik stumble.

"You don't need to protect me. I am enough for myself" adhrika yelled.
"But he was saying-" before he could complete. Adhrika cut him off.
"No need. And specially a boy like you who uses his brother power." Adhrika said and left with her friends. Making that that boy smirk and leave.

Ritwik fisted and said.
"Rony make sure that boy doesn't have that legs and mouth till tomorrow" ritwik said as rony smirked knowing the intentions.

Soon after some time ruhanika entered the campus. Today manvik dropped her. Sania wasn't coming today due to fever. And because of that today she can't see saksham. Today she got her periods and because of that her mood is sour. As soon as she entered she got to see rudraveer sitting on a corner reading a book. she walked towards him.
"Hey" ruhanika said. With a wide smile.
"Hey" rudraveer looked up with his siren eyes. And a small smile.
"So what are you reading" ruhanika said sitting beside him as there is still 30 minutes left for the classes to start. Soon they were englufed into conversation of books. As they both are readers.

On the other side ritwik was sitting at the class behind adhrika. Wanting to talk to her. But couldn't form the courage. "Adhrika" he finally called her out. She turned back asking to continue.
"Umm actually I didn't wanted to protect you or something. I too have a sister so I can't stand with any girl disrespect" which was true but also that he is in madly in love with her.

"It's okay and sorry for my rude behaviour" she said with a small smile. They both shook there hands as now being friends. And ritwik is beyond happy. Soon there classes started and the time went on.

Here ruhanika was sitting with rudraveer which didn't appeal Ishaan. As he came and grabbed rudraveer shoulder and made him stand. Which made ruhanika angry. And rudraveer was clueless as he was still new.
"How you dare to sit with her. She is mine" ishaan said.
"Do have his name tattooed ruh" at first ruhanika got confused but then shook her head at his question.

"Then how is she yours? Just go away I don't want to take any fights right now" rudraveer jerked his hand away which made ishaan stumble as he left glaring both of them. Soon they left the classes for canteen. And when they were going ruhanika almost tripped on the floor but rudraveer caught her by her waist.

This sight was seen by manvik who fisted his hands as he didn't liked him touching his sister. He decided first to talk with Ruhanika.

On the other hand ritwik was talking with adhrika. And rony was just annoyed. Soon some seniors came at class to make a announcement.
"Hey everyone attention" one of the boy said and everyone's attention turned towards them.
"So we are having a small fest tomorrow at 9. Till 12:30. Just for this course students so make sure to come and have some fun."
"The fest will be held in 'soven club'.

They left the class and ritwik turned towards rony.
"What you say chale?" He asked.
"I don't know if adhrit Bhai will permit me" rony replied with a bored look as adhrit isn't a big fan of parties and clubbing but rony enjoy it and not everytime adhrit stops him but he isn't sure.

"I too don't know if dhawal bhai will permit me" ritwik said with a sigh.
Adhrika turned towards them and asked. "So guys coming" she asked and they both replied that they need to ask for it. And ritwik asked about her.
"I will be coming. I need to chill little before exams" she said and their conversation carried on.

-----------------------------

As the college ended both Ritwik and Ruhanika got back home while taking about the day. Soon they were home. Ritwik slept and Ruhanika had a cold shower and some self care. And made herself a fruit bowl and sat down on couches of tv room. Started watching vampire diaries.

By that time manvik was also home and first thing he did was changed into comfy clothes and decided to talk to Ruhanika. He walked in the tv room and saw Rishi there using phone and dhawal typing something in his laptop.

"Ruhi" he called her and she just hummed being all focused on show.
"Who was that boy who was holding your waist" he asked making ruhanika choke as she didn't expected this question.

"Who boy"
"What"
Rishi and dhawal reaction said  at the same time.
"I asked you something ruhanika" manvik said in more stern voice settling himself in the couch front of ruhanika.
"He is my fri- friend" she shuttered not able to take the intimidating gazes.

"So why the hell he was holding your waist" Rishi said slamming his hand which made ruhanika finch and some tears formed in her corner of her eyes.
"See ruhanika I didn't liked it. Avoid him . I don't want you to date anyone at this age" manvik said in strict voice.
"Yeah he is right I don't want this kind of things from you ruhanika" this time it was dhawal. Which made ruhanika angry and hurt thinking her brothers don't even trust her. Some tears spilled down her eyes.

"What you all think that? I will come in a relationship without you all knowing. No I wanted a boy who all you will love and a boy just like you but you all don't even trust me. Now I will date him only.
I.will.date.rudraveer. I will date him and no one can stop me."
"I am not a doll to be controlled but I am human and I can make my decisions. No  one understands me. Everybody try to control me. After so many years I am missing maa baba." She shouted on the top of her lungs as the voice boomed in the mansion.

It's a rare thing that ruhanika is shouting. She left running while wiping her tears. While she was running upstairs ritwik was coming down. As he saw her. He tried to stop her but she pushed him and walked past him.
He understood that it was his brothers. He walked to them angry.

"Bhai what have done" ritwik shouted.
