"Haan ya naa" he yelled at her, making her flinch

"Nahi" she said shooking her head.

"Good, dur rehna usse aur uske poore group se" he warned in a cold voice, sending shiver down her spine

Umer's face was red with anger as they arrived home and saw Ahaan waiting for them in lawn, zara fled to his embrace, she was scared by Umer's anger all his way to home. She tightened her grip on Ahaan's kurta.

"Kya hua bache?? Itni dari hui kyu ho" Ahaan asked worriedly. She pointed towards umer not looking up from Ahaan's embrace, umer rolled his eyes.

"Umer kya kiya tumne?" Ahaan snapped at him

"Kuch nahi kiya!" Umer said moving inside

"Bohut daanta unhone, sab ke saamne itna chillaye hai, maine to kuch kiya bhi nahi" zara murmured in Ahaan's chest.

Ahaan took zara in, and saw umer leaving for his room

"Stop right there. We need to talk about this further" ahaan said sternly as he called out to umer

Umer reluctantly returned, with his head bowed down not because he was ashamed, it's a gesture of obedience Ahaan expects whenever he uses this tone

Ahaan narrowed his eyes, his gaze was fixed on umer.

"What's going on, bewajah kyu chillaye ho ispe"

"You remember osman my classmate jis par charges hue the, media me baat aayi thi? Uske bhai ke sath dostiya badha rahi aapki laadli" umer said glaring angrily at zara, she hid behind Ahaan like a scared kitten.

Ahaan gently pulled zara beside him and asked, "yeh sach kehraha ha?"

"Bhaiya dost nahi hai wo mera mai buss uske group ke sath rehti hu" zara replied meekly.

"Poore school me wohi group mila tha?" Umer snapped at her.

Ahaan's gaze caught the glimmer of tears in zara's eyes, though she quickly composed herself.

"Tumne phele kabhi warn kiya tha ise?" Ahaan countered. Umer shooked his head

"To chilla kyu rahe ho, pagal hogaye ho ise kaisa pata wo ladka kaisa hai, pyar se samjha nahi sakte the" ahaan shouted

"Zara go to your room, calm down, baad me baat karenge iss baare me" Ahaan said firmly

Zara went to her room, as the door closed ahaan turned to umer,

"Umer I understand bhai hone ke naate tumhe apni bhen ko aise ladko ke sath dekh kar gussa aaya hoga, but you need to control your temper, uski kya galti thi batao jo usko sabke saamne embarass kiya?? Har chiz ka apna tarika hota hai umer, baat karo usse samjhao use ki wo ladko ke sath use kyu nahi rehna chahiye iss tarah gussa karne se kuch nahi hota, you know how fragile she is" Ahaan said

Umer knew Ahaan was right but he couldn't help feeling protective of his little sister.

Umer went to zara's room, she was upset with him.

"Zoi, naraz ho?" Umer asked softly contrast to his earlier harsh tone.

"Nahi baat kar rahi mai aapse jaien yaha se!!" Zara said muffling in the sheets that she had wrapped herself in.

"I didn't mean to scare you zoi, bus wo ladke ko tumare sath dekh kar gussa agaya tha, I know I was wrong but I just wanted to protect you" umer said trying to explain himself.

Zara's gaze met Umer's and she couldn't resist the puppy eyes he was giving her. She was already melted by his looks but wasn't ready to forgive him just yet. She threw the pillow on him out of frustration, umer held it instantly, but didn't retaliate with a pillow fight sensing the moment.
