chapter 4

Next day

Aditya woke up with a pounding headache. He groaned, letting out a few curses under his breath just as Divya entered, carrying a glass of *kadha* she had prepared for him, knowing he would be dealing with this.

Hearing his colorful language, Divya raised an eyebrow.

Divya:Bad word, Adi.

Aditya looked at her, clearly annoyed.
Aditya:Why are you here, Mrs. Goenka?

Divya:It’s Bhabhi, Mr. Goenka.

Aditya groaned in frustration. "You are not my Bhabhi We don’t have any relationship."

Divya ignored his remark, moving closer and gently placing her hand on his forehead. Aditya, startled by the touch, quickly stood up and tried to walk past her.

Divya:Go freshen up, then you need to drink this medicine.

Aditya shot the *kadha* a disgusted look.

"I am not drinking that."

Divya smiled mockingly, "Well, surprise surprise, Mr. Goenka, you are drinking that."

Aditya glared at her but had to look away when Divya glared back.

Grumbling, he walked away to freshen up.

Some time later, he re-entered the room and saw Divya making his bed. His eyes momentarily softened—no one had ever made his bed for him before. It was always him, taking care of himself.

But then, his expression turned cold as he remembered that he was nothing but a burden to them—the Goenkas' illegitimate child.

Aditya, coldly, "Yeh aap kya kar rahi hain?"

Divya looked up, frowning at the sudden coldness in his eyes. Usually, the boy just looked annoyed with her.

Aditya:Aapko yeh sab karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Maine kitni baar kaha hai, mujhe aapke ya aapke pati ke ehsaan ki zarurat nahi hai.

Divya looked at him and shook her head. "Baitho Aditya, you need to take your medicine."

Aditya, glaring, "Koi zarurat nahi hai, I can handle myself."

Divya:Ik kar sakte ho, lekin main karoon toh koi problem?"

Aditya:Haan, hai problem, Mrs. Goenka, I—

Divya:Bhabhi.

Aditya, startled, "Kya?"

Divya, "It’s *Bhabhi*, Aditya. Kitni baar kahoon tumhe? Main Mrs. Goenka nahi, Bhabhi hoon tumhari."

Aditya, angry, "Aur main bhi keh ch—"

Before he could finish, Divya cut him off, grabbing his arm and dragging him towards the bed.

Divya, lightly pushing him towards the bed, "Baitho yaha pe chup chap."

She picked up the glass and moved toward him.

Divya:Piyo

Aditya:Dekhiye, aap—

Divya (stern)"Piyo, Aditya."

Aditya looked at her, stunned. She extended the glass toward him again. Aditya gently tried to push her hand away, but the push came out harsher than he intended, causing Divya to stumble backward.

Before she could fall, a firm hand caught her.

Aditya’s eyes widened in guilt—he hadn’t meant for that to happen. He looked up to see Agastya, furious.

Agastya (angry): Yeh kya tareeka hai, Aditya?

Aditya flinched at Agastya’s tone. Divya noticed the way he flinched, and her eyes softened. She gently placed her hand on Agastya’s arm and spoke.
