Muskaan's POV: The present time...
Today is a Saturday, I'm sitting in my room alone and in peace.....this is to good to be true! Like every Saturday my two annoying friends show up and decide to both make and ruin my day. Today.....they haven't even shown a sign of their arrival...why? Suddenly a knock on my door interrupted my thoughts....now they are here! I rolled my eyes...when did they start knocking?
"Come in!" I yelled...and there came in my darling baby.....well babies.....Veer and Ishaan. They are my cousin's sons. Both of them are brothers, and they are very..very..very mischievous! That's why they call me didi (sister) when they should actually be calling me masi (auntie) [since that is the actual relation I have with them]. They say masi makes me sound really old...oh well well here they come!
"Didi! (Sister)!" They yelled as they came and hugged me.
"How are you my munchkins?" I asked
"Didi! (Sister!) we are 14 years old! Stop calling us munchkins!" Veer said in an annoyed tone.
"Whatever! For me you two are my munchkins!" I protested
"Okay! Call us something other than munchkin! What the hell is munchkin? It sounds like some chaat papdi (Indian street food) gone wrong!" Ishaan countered
"Fine! I never knew that you hated the nicknames I gave you!" I said in a fake sad voice
"Didi (sister), we know you are not really sad with us! So stop acting like a baby and listen to the good news!" Veer said in a happy tone.
"Good news? What good news?" I asked confusedly
"WE ARE MOVING IN WITH YOU!" Ishaan and Veer yelled at the same time! OMG I CANT BELIEVE MY EARS! NO WAY! MY DARLING DEVILS ARE MOVING IN WITH ME? HAINNNNN? (WHATTTTT?)
"Actually! You guys are actually moving in with me?" I asked teary eyed! I am soooo freaking happy right now!
"Yea! I wanted to stay in Delhi....the girls there are HAWT! Mumbai.....not much of a variety...so far at least!" Veer said with a grin! My badmaash bhatija! (naughty nephew!) I thought.
"Achha! (Really?) So Mr.Veer Khurana goes to school to stare at girls?" I teased
"Nope! He used to! Now bhai (brother) only stares at one person!" Ishaan said as he looked out the window of my room
"Who would that lucky person be?" I asked
"Vani Khanna!" Ishaan said dramatically
"Oh shut up! I don't even like her!" Veer said irritatedly
"Sure!" Ishaan teased
"In that case I would say that instead of spending time with our gang you hang out with Jaanvi Khurana! What do you have to say to that?" Veer countered....here we go! Another cat fight!
"Okay! Okay! Guys stop! Why are you moving though?" I asked...diverting the topic to my original question
"Well genius McEinstein here got into a great school here! Surprisingly I did too! So since this wonderful school is here in Mumbai we have to shift here! By here I mean your house!" Veer said with a scowl.
"Ohhhh great! Anyways congratulations on making it into that school!" I said happily
"Oh please! A better school means high standards. High standards mean strict teachers. Strict teachers means no fun. No fun means more homework. More homework means less time to spend having fun with our gang, causing mischief, ruining people's day in a fun way of course....and anything along those lines!" Veer said as he put his head between his hands
"Shut up! A good school means you will get your brain....wait sorry...you don't have one!" Ishaan said as he bolted for the door...Veer quickly got up and ran after him.....great another 'friendly...brotherly' fight! I rolled my eyes and kept on working.

Authors note:
Hello readers,
You may have noticed a sudden increase in the number of characters (Sunny tai, Arya, Ishaan and Veer etc...).
Maybe this may have been annoying to have to remember all these characters, but I can guarantee that each of the new/supporting characters (refer to the characters chapter to have a better understanding on the supporting characters) have an important role to play in the story.
Please bear with me if the story is getting a bit off track at times due to the number of characters as this is my first time writing a story with so many different point of views.
Thank you for reading!
Suggestions are welcome,
