Rudra's POV

I look around, my hands resting in my pockets as I take a deep breath, the gentle winter wind slowly caressing my face as it did its little dance that it did on the daily during night times. Though it wasn't night time today, it was simply just the arrival of winter. As the traffic light turned red for the vehicles I made my way to the other side of the road, clutching the handle of my bag. A smile appeared on my face as I stared at the sky, stars scattered around, dancing about in their free will.

The evening cascaded into darkness as night time finally hit and so did the chilly winds. I checked my phone to see if that gremlin had texted me yet or not. "Hmm. Apparently not." I sighed. Seriously, this girl worried me. Considering how careless she was with herself, I'm surprised how she even managed to stay alive until now. My phone finally pinged with a message from her.

"Reached :)"

That's all. Nothing else. Dear lord. I was getting so worried for her. This girl has her phone switched off since nine A.M and didn't pick up any calls from neither me nor any other alive human being in the entire world. Turns out she simply forgot to charge her phone. She couldn't have dropped a single message? Even from her friend's phone, not that she has many of those but come on! My heartbeat had finally rested knowing that she was back home safe. That was my younger sister. I was the eldest of three siblings, two older brothers and one younger sister. This young menace was my darling younger sister, Krutika Rathod.

I checked my phone for my little brother's contact and messaged him.

"The gremlin is back home safe."

"FINALLY! I'M SO GOING TO BEAT HER ASS FOR WORRYING US TODAY!"

Came his reply. Well, what could I say? My baby brother was a rather... aggressive person. Ansh Rathod. I chuckled as I put my phone back into my pocket taking another deep breath of the calming atmosphere around. I looked up in the sky as the stars looked a little too pretty not to gawk at. Everything was so...peaceful. So calm...so peaceful... Not a single sound around... "Okay, it's a little too peaceful. What in the world?"

I blinked a few times and looked around the solemn road where I alone stood. "What in the world? I could swear there wats a lot of people around me barely a moment ago." I mumbled to myself. "Oh God, don't tell me." I facepalmed myself as I realised what today was. I looked at my watch. "And it's already half past nine! Shit!" I scolded myself for not remembering tonight. "I should leave before they get here-" I mumbled to myself and as if almost on the cue, honking and drunk yelling engulfed the solemnity of the street.

I sighed as I rubbed my temples taking in a groan. "Oh God..." I groaned in annoyance. Within minutes, luxury race cars filled the streets along with numerous betting spectators. The cars were filled with Gangsters holding guns and metal and wood rods. I couldn't stand the sight for even a single minute more as I took a sprint for it. "Thankfully, my old knees supported me enough to help me run." I sighed gratefully. Why was I talking to myself as if I was a sixty five year old man?

I could still hear their screams and cheers as a migraine raised in my head. I rubbed my temples trying to soothe my headache. How could I have forgotten what today was? The gangsters announced it says ago. Today, the rowdy gangsters planned on making that particular street into their own personal drifting ring. Ugh, I hate these gangsters. In our city, Arundwar, reside the most feared and terrifying Mafia Clans in the entire world. There are around Six Clans. All these clans are India based yet they are feared more than any Mafia gang in the entire world. Those Six Clans have rather... peculiar names as well... The clans are numbered depending on their strength and power.

Clan 6 - The Fox Clan

Clan 5 - The Snake Clan

Clan 4 - The Scorpion Clan

Clan 3 - The Tiger Clan

Clan 2 - The Raven Clan

Then came the most legendary and feared clan in the entirety of the world. The mere mention of this clan sends shivers down numerous spines. They are known to be cruel, heartless and almost diabolical.

Clan 1 - The Dragon Clan

Though, a long time ago, the Dragon Clan "abruptly" deactivated itself on the orders of the Boss due to some "unknown" reasons and just a few years ago, The Snake Clan also went underground out of the blue.

There are certain ways that these Mafia families work. The first rule of being a Mafia is that family always comes first. Mafias are especially possessive when it comes to family or loved ones. It's common survival instincts to not go after a Mafia's family if you want to extract revenge from the Mafia. Surprisingly, there are a certain set of rules between these Six families/clans that they never break. Apparently no clans ever break the 'Mafia Moral Rules' (except for the snake clan which gets a little too rebellious a lot of the time). These rules state numerous moral codes that the Mafias must not break as Human beings.

There is a certain way that these Mafia families work. They work as a proper government establishment (quite ironic, I know). The First is the leader of the entire clan, the ruler, the king, the one that they absolutely blindly listen to. If the King of the Clan asked them to behead themselves, the clan members would do it without a hesitation out of pure blind loyalty. Then we have the Right Hand Man of the group. He is often mocked to be a personal "lap dog" of the Mafia Boss/leader but they often tend to underestimate how hecking strong the Right hand man actually is. He is the strongest man of the entire man minus the Boss/leader. Then they have the fighter, hackers, informants, kidnappers and all sorts of stuff. They can practically spawn out people according to their needs.

The people of our city and country, as afraid and terrified as they are, somewhat look up to the Mafias (for some darn reason?). Nobody has any idea how many times I've had people asking, no, begging me to change my strong dislike for the Mafia. I've had to endure endless lessons of how Mafia families and clans work (thus my extensive knowledge about the Mafia Clans). It's almost exhausting. One would think that Mafias are supposed to be underground and hidden but here, the Mafias are public and exposed.

My phone pinged, pulling me out of my thoughts completely. It was Ansh.

"Where are you? We're waiting for you. Dinner is getting cold. Come soon."

Came the message from my beloved baby brother. "Aww, he made dinner because I was running late? My baby brother has grown up so much." I mumbled to myself. "Krutika must've helped as well. Oh God, my dear babies have grown so much." I wiped a non-existent tear away from my eyes. Another ping got my attention, it was Ansh once again.

"P.S - We did NOT attempt to cook or else the kitchen would've hardly been in existing conditions right now. We ordered pizza. (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧"

OFCOURSE. I SHOULDN'T HAVE EXPECTED ANYTHING FROM THESE GOOD FOR NOTHING FOOLS. Though...I was craving pizza...

Author's Note- IT'S HEREEREEEEEE. MY OGS, YOUR WAIT IS OVERRRRR So, this novel is basically very raw and I haven't developed a storyline properly AT ALL so as you can see from the first chapter, it's all over the place but I'm really hoping you all love it despite its messy stature. Please give it as much love as you gave 'Feigned and Forced' (they are both my babies and we don't discriminate) And sorry for the short chapter, it's the first so I have no idea what to do?

For people who don't know me or my other work-
Hello, you can call me Yuri (or author because that's what my reader call me TwT).
For those who have clicked on the story without knowing me, I am currently in progress of writing another Indian BL which I Started before this, it's called 'Feigned and Forced', you can find it on my profile, please go and have a read with it because I've poured a lot of my love in that novel as well.
And before you ask, no, it's not necessary for you to read Feigned and Forced to understand this novel, they are two completely different works and not sequels to each other (Though there will be cameos and characters from that novel will be mentioned here quite frequently because ehehehe) but you don't need to read that to understand this but...pelase read it?
Thank youuuuuuuu <3
