Brotherhood

Part : 2

(Next morning, when Prince woke up to the sound of his alarm blaring in his ear, he stretched his arms and yawned, feeling a bit more refreshed after a decent night's sleep. As he sat up in bed, he noticed that Vivek had already left the room, leaving him to wonder if his brother had been up for a while or had just quietly slipped out before dawn. Prince got out of bed and began his daily morning routine, splashing some water on his face and brushing his teeth to shake off the lingering drowsiness.

Once he was feeling more alert, Prince made his way downstairs, his curiosity piqued about what his family members might be up to. As he descended the stairs, the aroma of breakfast wafting from the kitchen tantalized his taste buds, and he quickened his pace, eager to see what Uncle had prepared for them.

As he entered the area where Vivek and Arya were sitting, Prince noticed that they were deeply engrossed in a discussion about their work, their eyes fixed intently on the laptop screen. Vivek's brow was furrowed in concentration, while Arya's fingers flew across the keyboard as she typed away. Prince approached them quietly, not wanting to disturb their workflow, but as he drew closer, Vivek looked up and caught his eye, a gentle smile spreading across his face. The warmth in his brother's smile put Prince at ease, and he smiled back, feeling a sense of comfort in the familiar morning routine of his household. Meanwhile, Uncle continued to work his culinary magic in the kitchen.)

Prince : Good morning guys.

Vivek : Good morning buddy.

Arya : Good morning brother.

Prince : Thank you bhaiya.

Vivek : For what??

Prince : Last night i could sleep peacefully cause of you.

Vivek : Oh, glad to know that you slept well.

Uncle : Chalo breakfast ready hai. Come before it get cold guys.

Arya : Jii aa rahe hai Uncle.

(Everyone was having breakfast silently, suddenly vivek said)

Vivek : Prince, mera number shantanu sir ho send kardo.
Aur unse kehna ki unn boys ki details sidhi mere phone mai send kare.naaki tumhare phone mai.

[Vivek: "Prince, send my number to shantanu sir and ask him to send those boys' details directly to my phone, not yours]

Prince :Ha bhai.

Vivek :If you feel that you're in any danger to prince mujhe call kar dena mai college aa jaaunga.

[Vivek: "If you feel you're in any danger, Prince, just call me and I'll come to the college."]

(Prince nod his head. That fear in his eyes and nervousness on his face was clearly visible. Still he gave little forced smile to his brother.)

(After having breakfast , Prince reluctantly got ready for college, his mind weighed down by the anxiety that had been building up since the previous day. As he dressed and prepared himself, his heart wasn't in it, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of fear that lingered within him. The thought of facing those boys again made his stomach twist into knots, but he knew he had to go. He couldn't let his fear dictate his life.

As Vivek had instructed, Prince came out of his room and approached his brother, who was sitting in the living room. Vivek looked up at him, and Prince could see the concern etched on his face. Without a word, Vivek handed Prince some money, which he accepted with a nod of gratitude. Prince's eyes met Vivek's, and for a moment, they just looked at each other, the unspoken understanding between them palpable.

Vivek, too, was feeling a deep sense of guilt and helplessness. He hated the fact that he was sending Prince to college alone, knowing that those boys might be waiting for him. He wished he could accompany Prince, protect him from harm, but he knew that would only escalate the situation. If those boys suspected that Prince's brother was also involved, they might share the video, and that would put them all in a precarious position. Vivek didn't want to take any risks, so he had to let Prince face the day alone.
