***Sahana's P.O.V***

Lost in thought about my own messed up feelings, I didn't notice where I was going, or who I was going with.

"This is the first of many things" Raj said, as we walked to the entrance of the building.

Forgetting everything else, I asked "What do you mean?"

"I've known Arush from literally from the day we were born.... our mothers are best friends you see... I and Arush grew up together...introvert kahika...well, it's actually really surprising that he became friends with Kabir too...well maybe it was because I first became friends with Kabir....he's a very jealous and possessive guy Arush...he cannot tolerate the person he loves get close to someone else" Raj said, a soft expression on his face.

Wonder why he's telling me all this though?!

"I've known him for 28 years now and yet sometimes I feel like I don't know him at all! He considers himself so strong and so unpredictable.... but the idiot doesn't know that even though his actions may sometimes be unpredictable, the intention behind his acts are always predictable....that possessive asshole" Raj muttered darkly, though his face had this expression which clearly stated he was proud of this behavior of Arush sir.

"Being possessive is important, don't you think so Sahana?" he asked, turning to me.

"Um...depends really. I have been told that I can be a bit possessive about the people I really care about, but I've never had anyone being possessive about me" I said, shrugging.

"You know, when it's the right person, you sure as hell would want them to be possessive about you" Raj said, smirking a little.

"I really doubt that! A very high level of possessiveness.....sounds a bit too suffocating to me" I said, wondering why on Earth were we talking about this?!

"Arush has that suffocating level of possessiveness about the people he cares about, but I personally love the fact that my best mate loves me so much! To you it may look like a bit too much, but for me it's actually touching to know that someone out there wants my presence in their life so much that they can't tolerate sharing me with anyone else" Raj said, smiling.

"And he always likes to be right, and in control of the situation.....sala can't talk in front of a group of 5 strangers but he wants to dominate over everyone" Raj added, chuckling.

"Well I understand what it is to talk in front of strangers... It gets all...hazy and... trust me I never make friends easily" I blurted out.

"Well, you're talking to me" Raj said, smiling warmly.

"And I still don't understand how that happened actually" I said, grinning sheepishly.

"Arush milgaya toh mujhe bhool gayi kya Sonu?" came bhai's voice from somewhere nearby, and I turned around to find bhai standing a few feet away from where I and Raj were standing, his bike parked at his side, and looking at me disapprovingly.

"Arre this isn't Kabir or Arush!! I'm sorry" bhai said apologetically, looking at Raj and apologizing to me.

"Trying to humiliate me even more bhai??" I asked, glaring at bhai.

"Bhai?" Raj asked, puzzled.

"Hi, I'm Reyansh, Sahana's older brother. And you are?!" bhai asked, extending his hand to Raj.

Seriously, why is bhai bent on making contacts at my office?! And how could and introvert like me have an extrovert outgoing person like him for an older brother?!
