34-- Thank you.

First of all, I am sorry, I fell asleep last night while writing and immediately started writing as I arrived home from office.

Second and most important, there won't be any updates till the end of March, I have my exams coming and can't squander the whatever time I have left after work on writing or hobbies. Hoping for the understanding.

Third- Pray for me to clear my exam?

Akul POV

“Let’s go. We are ready.”
I rush downstairs, Since Viti expresses her willingness to attend the party. Unequivocally, we had to agree to it as well.
I have adorned The proper Indian wear. The bright color kurta paired with pajama. Work on the kurta is also very much perfect for the private event in one of our hotels. Same goes with everybody else except Ethi bhaiya.

He has worn a plain black kurta, two top buttons unbuttoned. Plain back pajama. What enhances his sophisticated appearance is the multi-coloured pashmina shawl that has handloom work on it in his neck. I remember Adik bhai brought this one for him when he was on the trip with his friend to Kashmir. He got this shawl customized, with keen observation you will realise it has OM engraved on it. 

Why is he not freezing? I have wrapped myself in two warmers yet I wish for a cap on my head. Literally too cold.
What I don’t understand is why he gets to look like the hottest person alive on this planet in this simple attire? I obviously have attempted to appear more appealing. I think it is his muscles, and the amazing results of his daily sessions in the gym. I have those too. Why don’t I look as handsome?

“Because you eat shit tonne of junk food.” Aksh bhai taunts.
“You need to stop being obsessed with a healthy diet and enjoy the variety of taste this world has to offer.”
“The one taste I prefer to devour won’t even let me.” He sighs deeply. What does he mean by this?

Adik bhai coughs. A fabricated laugh.

“I mean the….the…. Chinese. Yes, chinese.  I wish to eat chinese.” My brows furrow. Chinese?
“You loathe chinese.” Baffled, I utter.

“Correct. I don’t prefer chinese. Why? Ever wondered? The extent they go with their creativity in food is nauseating. And as a vegetarian person—-”
“You are blabbering, Aksh.” Snickering, Adik bhai utters. Amused. Why is everybody talking in riddles? A while ago I noticed how Ethi bhaiya was poking indirectly at Adik bhai. Huhhh. SO frustrating.

“Aksh, Adik. Leave for the party. Attend the guests. Also, ensure the entire media’s focus is on you two only. And not on us.” Ethi bhaiya instructs. Following his words, both of the said person leaves the palace.

Today, Viti also refused to get ready by any of the brothers. She has also decided to let her Akansha didi pick her dress. Of course, Bhaiya believes Akansha didi has the right to choose the best for Viti for she voluntarily let the knife stabbed her heart. Whatever that means.

“Where is Ojas?”
“Putting extra efforts in apni chuchundar jaisi shakal sudharne mein.”
“Calling me chachundar (shrew) makes you chachundar (shrew) as well as we have got the same faces.”
“Paschatap krunga jisse agle janam aap jaise annoying ass ke saath womb share na krni padi.”
( I will repent so in my next birth I would not have to share as same womb as your annoying ass)
“Toh fir kab nikal rahe ho pahadon ke liye?”
(Good. By the way when you are departing for hills)
“Pahadon par kyu jaunga mai?”
(Why would I go to hills?)
“Paschatap ke liye. Normal pachyatap se kuch nahi hoga.”
(To repent. Normal grovelling won’t help much.)
“Bada hu mai izzat kro.”
(Respect me, I am older.)
“Fakir itna bhi nahi banna tha ki har waqt izzat ke liye bhikh mangte phiro galti se pehle nikal aaye bade bhaiya.”
(You were not to be this down to earth that you always beg for the respect like a beggar, Mr, mistakenly came out early from the womb)
“You—”
“Enough. Both of you.” Ethi bhaiya cuts me off in the middle with his scolding.
“Sorry.”
“Sorry.”
“And what is this? With these running shoes under ethnic wear?”
“These are comfortable.” Yes, exactly. We can even dance our heart out in these shoes. Hell comfortable.
“Learn to get dressed as per occasion and place. Go quickly change your footwears and put on some accessories. Wrist watch in the left hand and not the smart watches you wear all the time. The vintage ones from my collection. Where is that gold kada? Didn’t I inform you not to remove it ever? That was mahadev’s ashirwad.”
