8 | They are rivals?

A M A Y A

My slumber broke as I sat up, and instantly closed my eyes back in pain. My head was exploding with pain. "Drink this it will help you." I heard a deep, husky voice and it's not of Revansh... it means, Bhai.

My eyes shot opened as I heard his voice and there, he was standing with his arms folded over his chest and feign outrage expression was flaunting over his face. "Bhai" I jumped from the bed wrapped by arms around his torso, ahh he is tall.

"Amu, aaram se bachha." He laughed before wrapping his arms around me as, he tightly hugged me. "You didn't tell me that you are coming." I hit his arm playfully.

"Arrey, surprise bata ke thodi dete hai, agar bata deta toh ye surprise thodi rehta na." He says, to which I made a pout. "First, drink this it will help you with your headache."

"First, I will freshen up then I will drink this." He nodded at my words before saying in stern voice, "I want to talk with you about something and it's important. Complete your works and meet me in my room." Without uttering a single world to him I just nodded at him.

As, I did my morning routine and gulped the hangover, which was given by Bhai. Ugh, I don't know why I consumed Revansh's so-called vodka cum water and made myself embarrassed in front of him. Yeah, I did remember everything happened between us and the shits I talked with him now the snag is I don't fucking know how I am going to face him after this, I know he will take the piss out of me.

I made my way towards Bhai's room, but a notification halted me, and I checked it of course.

Unknown: Are you fine, sweetheart?

Is it Revansh? in view of the fact that he is the one who used to call me sweetheart as, no one else has this audacity to give me any kind of nicknames since, my dearest brother will beat the shit out of that man.

Without caring about the message, I strode straight to Bhai's room and knocked on it. "Come" a shiver ran down my spine by his icy voice.

It doesn't matter how much we love each other but when he is in rage then everything is over, he doesn't even listen to me nor Mumma, Papa only his sweetheart or I can say my future bhabhi, Nova Goenka can calm him down.

I make my way inside his room which was pale shades of grey and blue. I don't like his room, bhabhi se daat sunwa ke change karwa dungi room ke interiors ko.

What? Bhai always gets frantic by Nova's anger as, if she says do this it means he will do that thing right fucking now.

I also want a man who will love me like bhai loves Nova.

"Bhai" I finally said, "Oh, you came." He replied and closed his laptop.

"Where were you yesterday?" He asked directly, "Construction site, Bhai" I lied.

"Tell me the truth, Amaya." He recklessly asked again. "B-bhai─"

"I want truth, where were you yesterday and why were you with that Revansh?" Did he just saw me with Revansh? "How do you know I was with Revansh?" I asked him back in daze.

"Amaya" He sternly said which made me uttered everything, "Bhai actually we were going to construction site, but Revansh took me for lunch." I was afraid not because of Bhai's anger but what if he does something to Revansh? Owing the fact that I know Bhai has that power which makes anyone's knees week.

"Construction site, about which construction site you are talking about?" He asked being bewildered, "Papa doesn't told you that our company is collaborating with Revansh's one." Bhai's facial expression changed which I didn't understand.

"But if you went on a lunch with him then why did you came so late and why did you get drunk with him that he fucking should have to carry you and take you home?" Revansh was the one who took me to my room and the fuck I was thinking it was Bhai or Mumma. "I don't know Bhai how I got drunk." I looked at my feet and answered him.

A sigh left from his mouth, and he sauntered in my direction. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder which made me to look at him with my teary eyes. "Arrey bachha, aise roote thodi hai. I am sorry, maaf kar de mujhe ab." I negatively nodded and a tear left from my eyes. "You always made me scared by your questions and words."

Bhai hugged me, "I just want your safety and I don't want you be with Revansh as; I don't think he is a good guy." I again looked at him, "What do you mean by be with him? I am not with him. It's just I am managing the project which made me compel to meet him." Bhai just nodded his head on my words.

"I will talk with Papa." I hummed, wow, it means I am not going to meet him anymore and I want that right? "And I am sorry, Amu." Bhai uttered which made my daze snap.

"You have to take me for shopping." I uttered in a gloomy voice which made him chortle, "Kyu nahi bilkul le chalunga."

"Fine, then I am going to office." I broke the hug. "Hmm, there is no need to meet Revansh." I nodded and abstained myself from asking him, what problem does he have with Revansh like Bhai never tell me this much to stay away from any guy. Yeah, I have some male friends and Bhai told me to not get much close to them but in Revansh case it's something different and he was also his best friend then what the actual fuck happened suddenly?

"Okay, I am going." He nodded and I made my way in my room's direction. "Amaya, Shaurya come and have your breakfast. How many times do I have to tell you that you should have your breakfast on time." Mumma shouted, as we were late for our breakfast.

I strode towards the dining room until my phone's notification sounds halted me.

Unknown: Are you ignoring me, sweetheart?

Unknown: I waited thirty-two minutes for your reply, but you didn't reply to me.

Unknown: Are you fine, sweetheart. Stop making me worry fucking answer something.

Unknown: Should I come to your place?

Is he crazy? and the fuck, why he is so desperate for my reply.

I took one step forward on the stair as I tapped the sent option.

Me: Are you serious, Revansh?

Within a second it starts to show me that the other side of the person is typing. At that moment I saved his number but how did he get my number maybe he took from Kiara.

Revansh: Oh, you got me that it's me.

Revansh: Now, tell me how you are, or I am coming at your place right fucking now.

Me: Why the fuck you are so desperate to know that.

Revansh: Fine, don't tell me.

He got offline after replying to me.

Is he coming here?

No, no he fucking can't come when Bhai is here, and without any further ado I messaged him that it's not relevant for him to be here but him being ass who's not going to listen a single fuck.

"What are you doing here, Amu. Let's go." Bhai came from behind and uttered, "Nothing bhai."

We both took our seats on the chair. "Der kar di na aaj tum dono ne." Mumma said in pretend anger which made us laugh. "Agli baar se nahi hoga." Me and bhai said at the same and time. We both begin to chew and swallow our meals in silence.

Bhai broke the silence and said, "Papa, I got to know that our company is collaborating with 'AllianceLoop'." Papa nodded, "Me and Ajay decide it's a really great idea for our company and I was going to tell you after you came back from New York."

"Hmm, Amaya is managing the project?" Bhai asked like he doesn't know about this. "Oh yes, actually Revansh said Amaya can do it better than anyone." I can see the Bhai's expression changed from straight-faced to scowl.

"Yes, she can do this, but I don't think I want Amu to manage this project." Papa gave him bemused look which made Bhai to continue "I think she should continue her project with her team."

"Any proper reason? since, I don't think it's valid." A sigh left from Bhai's throat. "I think, I gave you a proper reason, Papa." Bhai said and stood up from his place.

"Shaurya, purani dushmaniyon ke wajha se galat kadam mat uthana." Papa said when he saw bhai striding in his room's direction.

Purani dushmani?

Revansh and Bhai are rivals?

But they were best friends, right?

Questions started to flood in my mind. My family didn't even tell me any of the fucks happened in these six years when I was in Los Angeles.

"It's not about purani dushmani, Papa. It's just I don't want Amaya to work with Revansh." Bhai twirl to face Papa and answered. "Opps, Shaurya it hurts that you didn't trust me." A husky, gruff voice ends up in my ear, it didn't take me more than a second to recognize who is he. I fucking told him not to come here, ugh!

"Arrey Revansh beta." Mumma says being astounded, with a cocky smile Revansh entered, and his eyes met mine which made my heartbeat flutter. Shit. "What are you doing here?" Bhai asked and finally Revansh's eyes withdrawal from mine to lashed over Bhai's one.

"Came to check on Amaya as if she is fine or not." Revansh said like it's as easy as ABC, ye aaj ya to khudh marega ya phir mujhe marwayega. "Are you fine, Amaya? You don't have a headache, right?" He asked in disquiet.

"Yeah, I am fine." I say and perceive a black look from Bhai. "I guess." as I completed my sentence.

"She will be fine you don't have to take tension about it." Bhai's outrage lands up at my ears. "Yeah, she will be fine." The cocky smile doesn't leave his face as he uttered.

"But usse headache hogi kyu?" Mumma asked in uncertainty but before Bhai or Revansh says the whole fucking truth I interrupted, "I wasn't feeling well yesterday when I was with Revansh." Mumma nodded.

"Now, you are fine right?" She asked to which I nodded.

"You got your answer now you can go." Bhai heatedly vocalizes, "Yeh, koi tarika hua baat karne ka Shaurya." Mumma says, but Bhai's deadly scowl doesn't stop from Revansh.

Yeh kya ho raha hai yaha, aur kyu ho raha hai.

Main kaha aagyi, bhai.

"Ah, no one talks with me like that Shaurya, and you have that audacity to talk with me." He muttered the rearmost sentence. "I got to know that Amaya is not going to manage our project anymore and that's hurt me." Revansh says his tone was overflowing with goad.

"Yes, I know someone who is going to manage this project." Bhai says, but Revansh just smugly smiled at him. "If Shaurya doesn't want then it's okay, Amaya is not going to manage this project." Waah, bade aaram se maan gaya ye toh.

"But..." He glanced at me before glowering at Bhai, "If that person gives me a single statement of dissatisfaction, then I will fire that person from this project and on the behalf of that Amaya will manage the project, Is it fine?" Revansh cunningly enunciates.

Ye toh bahut chalak nikla.

"Fine, that's a good idea." Papa says, to which both of them nodded while glaring at each other. Without uttering something bhai strode in his room's direction. "Revansh, aao breakfast kar lo." Mumma says.

"I already had my breakfast aunty, next time for sure and I am going." He smiled, "Amaya, Revansh ko bahar tak chhorh de." Revansh flaunted his dearest smirk to me as Mumma says.

"Yes, come please." He chortled at my irritated voice before mumbling, "That's my word, sweetheart and it will be acceptable on our bed." I was taken aback from his dirty words.

I sauntered towards the main door as, he followed me, "Tumhe sharam nahi aati hai?" I finally asked when we arrive where his car was. "Aapke samne sharam kaisi, jaan." My eyes widened at his words, did he just fucking call me 'jaan'?

"Jaan, kisko bola tumne?" I asked and regrated straight away after his undisputed answer, "Aapko, aap hai meri jaan, sirf aur sirf meri jaan." Genuine smile was flourishing over his lips.

"Okay sweetheart, I will meet you soon." He says and all of sudden I found him in close proximity with me as he leans down a softly attached his lips over my cheek, heat rushed inside my arteries.

After flaunting his cocky smile, he finally drove away leaving me here stunted and open-mouthed.

I need to ask me the actual fucks he want from me.
