I put a pillow over my ear to stop the voice but it continues to interrupt my sleep. It feels like someone wants to break the door of my room.
Unwillingly I opened my eyes to see the time and my irritation grew because it was 5 in the morning.
I got out of my bed and went to open the door. "What..." I start to speak with half-open eyes. But stopped when two figures barged into my room.
I was not able to understand anything. I blinked my eyes rapidly to get a clear view of the intruders.
It was none other than my Brother no. 5 and 6. I hope you understand who am I talking about. 'What are they doing here' I thought.
Then I noticed Kabeer Bhai holding a broom and Aarav with a mop. My eyes became wide when Kabeer Bhai started sweeping the floor.
Aarav pulled out the cloth that I didn't notice resting on his shoulder and started cleaning the table.
My hand automatically flew to cover my mouth. I was shocked would be an understatement. I immediately made a few steps in Kabeer Bhai's direction, "What are you both doing"
Instead of answering Kabeer Bhai held my bicep and shoved me to the side and started sweeping where I was standing a few seconds ago.
My nose flared with anger, "STOP! You both forgot that this is my room"
Unfazed by my statement Kabeer Bhai again shoved me, making me fall on the couch and he continued to sweep the floor.
"I will tell Atharyu Bhai, how you both barged inside my room"
They glared in my direction. "We are doing what he asked us to do," Aarav said but bit his tongue in regret. Kabeer Bhai's glare shifted to him, his eyes giving him a warning daring him to share more.
My eyes moved between them, what could be the reason for this cleaning drill? It is nothing less than a punishment for them...... Wait, Punishment? Then slowly the realisation sunk into me. Atharyu Bhai must have punished them for something. I couldn't stop myself but a chuckle escaped my mouth and I immediately covered my mouth. Earning a pointed look from Kabeer Bhai.
Not adding to the misery of my brothers I decided to brush my teeth making my way to the washroom.
I was cleaning my teeth peacefully until my brother number five deliberately started mopping the floor where I was standing shoving me here and there.
"I am going to complain to Atharyu Bhai. He will increase your punishment for not doing your work properly." I hissed.
"Oh, so the little lady will take revenge?"
"I don't call it revenge, it's called returning the favour"
"Puff" Showing his theatrics he continues to annoy me. But I cannot deny the fact that they are doing a pretty good job in cleaning.
