Long author's note in the end, you can skip it if you want! But there's a spoiler too... So the choice is yours.
AUTHOR'S POV-
.........Rashvik ended the call with a smile, he was unaware of the storm brewing inside Sarakshi, whose mind was now a tempest of questions and anxieties.
Reyansh and Rakshit, unable to hold back their laughter anymore, burst out laughing. Rashvik's smile completely faded, and he glared at his 'two overly dramatic brothers.'
"Kya khi khi khi kar rahe ho? Kya hua?" he asked with an annoyed expression.
(why are you laughing? what happened?)
"Bhai, just a second, let us laugh" Rakshit replied between laughs.
"Sarakshi, why are they laughing?" Rashvik asked her, still looking at his brothers. He had a weird habit of staring at the people he was asking about, even if he was asking someone else.
Sarakshi looked at him for a split second and then looked down.
"I-I don't know why they're laughing" she said in a low voice.
He looked at her, trying to understand her expression. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and her lips were a little pouty. She looked a bit curious, a bit confused, and very annoyed.
Sensing the tension between the couple, Reyansh and Rakshit stopped laughing. They looked at Rashvik, who was already looking at them.
"Why are you two laughing? Please care to tell" Rashvik asked, giving them a tight-lipped smile.
"Th-they were just making so-some jokes" Sarakshi whispered, still looking down. She knew they were laughing because she had asked them about the girl Rashvik had been talking to. She didn't want him to know she was curious about it.
"As if I don't know what you were asking them while I was on the call. Don't you ever dare to lie to me" Rashvik said, finally looking at her. Sarakshi glanced at the duo with a pout.
"Haa toh aap batate kyun nahi ho bhabhi ko ki kis se baat kar rahe the aap?" Rakshit said with a weird laugh, trying to lighten up the mood.
(Why don't you tell Bhabhi who you were talking to?)
"Haa bhai, batao na kis se baat kar rahe the" Reyansh said, winking his eyes. Rashvik glared at him, lightly shaking his head. Reyansh made hopeful eyes and nodded. They were having a silent conversation with their eyes, a code Sarakshi was unaware of.
(yes bhai, tell her who you were talking to)
Rashvik grinned, giving in to the plan they had just concocted, and Reyansh and Rakshit looked at each other with mischievous grins.
"Kya bataun mai aur kyun bataun?" Rashvik said with a plain, serious face.
(what should I tell and why?)
"Answer what she is asking about" Rakshit said, making Sarakshi look at him.
"I didn't ask anything" Sarakshi said, looking at the duo and showing them her angry face.
"Bhabhi was asking whom you were talking with" Reyansh said quickly, his face innocent.
"Anshu!" Sarakshi whispered-yelled at him, her voice whiny.
"You don't want to know about her?" Rashvik asked her with an amused expression. She shook her head 'no' but was dying inside to know about her.
"But I want to tell you; I can't keep it a secret anymore" he said with a serious face. Sarakshi still didn't look up. There were a lot of thoughts running through her mind, and she was scared to hear him, fearing one of her thoughts might come true.
