Showing Them The Light (IPKKND Fanfic)

6. Apologies and Stopping Her

Arnav entered Advay's room with two plates full of food.

“I am full chhote!” Advay said and looked back at his laptop.

“That I know! But it's been a while we both ate together. You remember?” Arnav asked and sat on bed beside him, keeping plates there.
Advay smiled and nodded.

Both started to have their dinner.

“So…. What's the plan ahead?” Asked Advay.

“You came here after knowing everything. Didn't you planned something for Shyam? That's not what I was expecting.” Advay laughed.

“Hmm…. You are right about me! I have things on mind.”

“Like….?”

“You know why Khushi fought with you?” Arnav looked at him shocked. Did he know?

“I don't know what actually happened between you both but ya, she fought with you because that evening only I asked her why she agreed for contract marriage?”

“Whatever happened, happened for good. Now I know the whole truth!”

“You would have known the truth before too, you missed it!” Arnav nodded.

“I agree! So, what are we going to do?”

“First of all, I will tell about…….” He completed.
Arnav was in deep thinking.

“What happened chhote? You want to change something?”

“Don't tell them that I married her for just six months!” Arnav said, looking at him in hope.

He want her to be with him! If she goes away how will he win her back? No! She won't go away. He won't let her.

“I will think about it...” Suddenly, Anjali opened the door and came in with a full-blown smile.

“Cheeku.. chhote…” She grinned.

Both the brothers were so happy seeing her so carefree but at the same time they feared the time when she will come to know the truth.

“What happened Di? You look very happy.” Advay asked.

“See, what I found!” She showed them a photograph.

Both of them looked at each other.

“You remember Cheeku, how Chhote used to play pranks on you. You were his prime target.” She said, giggling and sat on the recliner, in front of them, who were on the bed.

“How can I forget Di? He used to take advantage of our same face!” Arnav hid his smile.

“This one is of when you baked the cake for the first time, right?” Advay asked, she nodded.

All the three siblings went down the memory lane. That childhood which they left somewhere behind, long back.

The oven beeped indicating that her cake is finally baked. After putting on the gloves, Anjali pulled out the dish.

‘Hmm… This smells good!’ She thought, inhaling the sweet smell.

Today is nothing in particular but she cooked this delicious sugar-free cake just for her brothers. The twins have made their school win in the Inter-school basketball tournament, even though their exams are on the head.

She started to decorate the cake.

‘Oh! It already looks delicious. I hope it tastes good too.’

As she was done with it, she saw twelve year old Arnav coming downstairs. He was in his white T-shirt, over which ‘I am the best’ was printed and black shorts. Self-obsessed! Anjali held back her laugh. Her chote is like this only. Funny, witty, prankster and practical.
