And subh dipawali evryone 🌷🌷

It was midnight, ruhanika was asleep and manvik was sitting beside her craseing her hair with a soft smile. That's when dhawal and Rishi entered with some simple sweatpants and tshirt on themselves. They looked exhausted and vulnerable, vulnerability of not to able to save their sister when they promised themselves with it.

Aman is with them in one of their warehouse. Dhawal didn't even imagined that Aman the man he trusted so much that he also trusted him with his sister would be such a bastard. Rishi on the other side is hungry to torture that man who made her ruhi cry. The picture of ruhanika running towards them with her tshirt torn and her bra visible was still in their mind.

Ritiwik was in an boxing club taking his all the anger ther. He came back a while ago with some bruses in his face.

After some minutes passed away ritwik to came to check on ruhanika only to see dhawal sitting on the edge of the bed with his laptop, Rishi scrolling through his iPad and manvik with his eyes closed, well he is awake.

Ritwik came and sat down near dhawal, that caught his attention as well as of other's too.

"Ritwik? How you got these bruses, and where were you?" Dhawal asked with concern in his voice and a little on his face. Ritwik just shook his head and mumbled a small nowhere as answer.

Rishi came and sat in front of ritwik with a first aid box, Rishi always care the most even if he doesn't show it.

"Don't tell me you again went to that boxing club" dhawal asked frustrated, he always warned ritwik for that boxing club but he never listened saying he likes boxing and he wants to have some sort of thrilling matches for himself in order to make himself strong enough.

Dhawal sighed not getting any reply from him.

Manvik understood what ritwik is feeling as, he can see through his eyes.

"Bache don't think that you failed to protect ruhi" manvik said putting Ruhanika's head on pillow. 

"It was just something we never imagined of" manvik said, ritwik sighed and tried to reply by not breaking immediately.

"Still, we should have been careful" ritwik said in a clam yet broken voice. Dhawal came by and patted his back.

"You know ritwik, our society still think molestation,rape, harrasment has the girl's or the victim's family fault. Its not the fault of victim or there family fault. Its always the narrow and narrcistic mindset and lack of moral education from the childhood itself. And also lack of sex education leads it. Many school still hesitate to tell about sex, mensuration and more." Dhawal said to ritwik, he always wanted his siblings to have all these knowledge from beginning itself.

That's why he educated himself about periods to ruhanika and ritwik at the age of 12.

Manvik nodded in agreement of dhawal opinion.

"And you know we can't blame girls for it, it's like not all snakes are poisonous but when you see one do you think for a second that maybe it cannot be the poisonous one? No right you just save yourself. Its same in the men case. Not all men are same but they don't know form which man they have to protect themselves and whom to trust"

This time it was Rishi who participated in the conversation, he never blamed women for this type of things this is what his mother told him and teached him. 

They all were just looking down with deep thoughts, their thoughts stirred as ruhanika mumbles something and got up.

"Its morning already?" Ruhanika asked almost sleeping.

Dhawal chuckled and said "nah baby it's still the midnight so sleep" while Patting her head.

"But why you all aren't sleeping?" Ruhanika asked equally worried for them.

"We were just going to sleep princess don't worry" dhawal replied with a awkward chukle.

Ruhanika nodded but soon her eyes sparkled "why don't we all sleep here only?" She asked with her famous puppy eyes and obviously no one could say no to it so they agreed.

Soon they all slept while ruhanika cuddled to them. Even if they didn't wanted to sleep but they don't want to hurt their ruhi.

They have always been like this, together happy and tackling the situation together. Even if they were hurted as hell they don't want ruhanika to worry about it.

They know the meaning of family

Heyaa everyone
I hope y'all liked the chapter
I know it's very late but since you all said that it's ok with slow updates then I am sticking to it.
I will try my best to update but since my pre boards are approaching and also my syllabus isn't covered yet so it's very hard to write every day and give you update but I will try to update long and steady chapters.
