Everything was just flashing in front of my mind like a movie. I was able to listen to every word of theirs, was able to visualize everything but I was just incapable of perceiving anything. I guess I needed sometime. A lot of thoughts were bubbling in my mind. In all this, an innocence soul lost his life. How can anyone be so heartless? That incident ruined a lot of lives. My life was just so perfect but this possessive streak of my sister…my own Sweety changed everything. Everything got entangled due to this political war and that vices in human nature and mind. Maybe I could have got everything in control. Never mind, I decided that this evading or shunning nature of mine was helping no one. Maybe if I remain with her and put in my own efforts then realization would dawn upon her. I know she didn’t want someone to lose their life but I was also sure of the fact she wasn’t repenting this action of hers. Now, I was pretty sure of what I need to do.

As in for Shauraya, I have no doubts regarding the fact that they are friends but he surely isn’t a good friend. Instead of thwarting her actions, he gave her unconditional support. Maybe she forced him and on this basis, I cannot judge him entirely. God only knows what transpires between these two buddies. Whatever it is, now I’m here.

I came out of all these thoughts of mine, when a hand touched me. I looked at her hand on my shoulder. I hugged her as she broke down. Even I was unable to control my emotions. How I was able to have a control on myself all these days!!! Every day I just wanted to meet her, see her crazy side, pamper the child still present in her and what not.

Bhai hugged me!!! Could anyone pull me down to the ground? I was literally flying. I could no longer contain all this and tears flowed down. God, I was so happy. But I feared. What if all this happiness of mine is snatched away? What if someone comes again in my bhai’s life? NO!!! He is mine and will always remain with me. I cannot let bhai go away.

We broke the hug as bhai said, ‘I want to ask a lot of things from you but you need proper rest first. I have made sure that you get discharged.’

‘And everything is done.’ We both looked at Shauraya who had just entered and said this in excitement.

We three entered my one-bedroom apartment. As expected, bhai disliked it. He was just too shocked to see that his Sweety was living here without any basic amenities. To be frank, there were all the necessary things but for bhai, the definition was somewhat different.

‘There is no AC here. How can you just survive on a cooler in this scorching heat? And what about your swimming habit? There is no swimming pool here. I thought dad rented you his farmhouse which is here in the outskirts.’ He uttered everything in a breath after scanning the whole room.

‘Relax bhai,’ I tried calming him down a bit. ‘Dad did offer me but I rejected it.’

‘And do you cook yourself,’ he literally screamed as I closed my ears with both hands. ‘Show me your hands,’ he uttered as he started looking for any burn marks. The previous time I had tried cooking, the oil had splattered on my hands causing burns. I smiled looking at him. No, in fact my heart smiled seeing his concern.

‘I’m fine,’ I uttered and it isn’t me who cook. Its Shauraya.’ I looked at Shauraya and winked. He was really a good chef. You need to have the food by his hands to trust me.

‘Yeah,’ he supported me in my lie. Sometimes, even I used to step foot in the kitchen despite of the fact that I hated all this. But Shauraya being such a good friend would always try to push me out of the kitchen. But I used to resist him sometimes.

‘What were you doing with that Karanvir Bohra?’

That’s it. I’m screwed. Now, what should I answer? I cannot tell him that I’m working in the rival’s company. Until, Vicky was the head this news wasn’t leaked out but things were not in my hands this time. And I have a knack of keeping everything in my control.

Leaving aside everything, I looked at the place where I was standing. Everything was so picture perfect. Bhai, me and Shauraya. I don’t need anyone else. And I also need to solve a lot of things.

Precap: Clearing the misunderstanding between SurVir
*****

A/N
First of all, sorry for adding somewhat same precap. I know some of you might not be liking the plot and maybe fed up of this overdose of this brotherly-sisterly story-line. But I guess this chapter of HimSur was equally important. I know that compared to everything, SurVir’s scenes are just 20% of my current story-line. I feel that I’m lacking at that part. You all might be looking forward to read SurVir’s scenes but guess what, I’m disappointing you all. So sorry for that.

And a big hug and thanks to Roma, Sunehri, Zuha, Nusz, Sarah and Mannat for always showering their kind words to me. Thanks to Fatarajo, laura and sam for commenting and to each and every reader of my ff. Thank you guys. My thanks is not enough for the tremendous support you are giving me but still. And keep commenting and motivating me.

I hope that janvi and angel are reading this and will comment one day. Waiting for you both.
