*******************
Shivaay entered his study room and waited for his brothers to enter. Feeling exhausted from arguing with his wife he made use of the plush velvet sofas in the room and relaxed his head back, because really one needed a lot of energy to be able to keep up with Anika. What an eventful afternoon, and look it isn't even 20h00 as yet...Anika never ceases to amaze me. Anika. This woman, the only woman who makes me want to strangle her and kiss her simultaneously. Does that make me a psycho? She did say my family is psychotic...Why was she even leaving? And with my baby too...My baby..That sounds nice...Shivaay's baby...But why is she doing all of this? Does she want to take revenge? Does she hate me for that night? AND WHY DID SHE LIE?? If she hadn't said those words, I wouldn't have slapped her...God, I slapped her...Shivaay you are gone...She's going to chop you in small pieces, and then grind you in your coffee machine.
Eyes closed, so lost in his mixed thoughts, he hadn't realised that his brothers had entered, closed the door and had been sharing looks of their own on watching the various expressions that flitted across his face. "BHAIYA!!" Rudra shouted excitedly, unable to keep quiet anymore. He knew his bhaiya was tired, he had noticed it throughout the whole fiasco. But he couldn't contain his need to speak anymore. On hearing Rudra's voice Shivaay opened his eyes, gave them a weary smile and stood up only to be bear hugged by Rudra who seemed intent on squeezing the life out of him. "Urrgghhh Rudra, let go of me. I can't breathe! Om, get him off" Shivaay's voice coming out muffled from been smothered by his younger brother. But to Shivaay's shock and surprise, he felt Om join in on the hug. Looks like I'm not the only one who wants to commit murder today. These two will kill me before I see my child.
"Get off me. Guys c'mon, I'm getting suffocated" Shivaay pleaded, but his voice was drowned out by his brothers congratulating and thanking him. Making matters worse, they both started doing a jig, shaking Shivaay in the process. "Omkara! Rudra! It's getting awkward" He said in the loudest voice he could muster while being squashed by them both. "Ok, ok, we're sorry. But we're just happy bhaiya. This is the best news we've gotten in months" Rudra said sheepishly after he and Om had let Shivaay go. Watching his bhaiya straighten his clothes and set his hair, he couldn't help but give him a quick 'Rudy hug & kiss', to which his Shivaay bhaiya looked at him and held his arms open, gesturing for a proper hug saying "O'Bro hug, without killing me ok?". Rudra looked at Om, who nodded and they both launched themselves in Shivaay's arms. "I love you both" They heard Shivaay say in a voice hoarse with emotion.
Hearing his bhaiya speak in a voice like that, Rudra pulled away from the hug, looking at Shivaay with questioning eyes, only to get a "Arre wah, this would be the first time that you didn't wait for things to get awkward" from a part shocked, part amused looking Om. "O' bhaiya this is not funny. Bhaiya what is wrong" Rudra said in all seriousness, the first part to Om and the second directed at Shivaay. He saw Om and Shivaay exchange shocked looks and saw Shivaay give Om a small nod before turning to him saying in a mock disbelieving tone "Can't I express my love for my brothers?". But on getting nothing but a 'I'm not a baby' look from Rudra, Shivaay sighed and stepped forward to his youngest brother, held onto his shoulder and said in a low strangled voice "I'm sorry Rudra, I'm sorry that you had to witness all of that. That you had to see me slapping your bhabi, see me lose control. I know it scared you. And I'm sorry for that. Anika just...I couldn't hear... I mean I hadn't intended...It's my baby! How can she say the baby isn't mine! Damn her!"
Om had been standing silently to the side, watching as his elder brother apologised to his younger brother. The sight quiet endearing, so heart warming that Om found himself smiling, smiling until he heard Shivaay stuttering and then watched as his elder brother let go of the younger one and paced the room his voice raising angrily on the last few words. Sensing danger, and not wanting Shivaay to frighten Rudra again, Om had stepped forward towards Shivaay but he stopped on seeing Rudra reach Shivaay first. Stepping back to his original position near Shivaay's polished oak study desk, propping himself up on the desk he watched with fascination as the younger Oberoi stopped the elder ones pacing and said in a voice Om never heard him use, ever, it was so mature, so unlike Rudra. "Bhaiya, I didn't like what you did, or how the situation got out of hand, but I do understand why you did it, you let your anger get the better of you. I'm not saying it was right, and I know you could have handled it differently, what I am saying is that yes I was scared but I get it. Bhaiya, and at the moment the important matter at hand is not about me, or if I was scared. The important issues here is why did Anika bhabi do and say what she did? What did you do bhaiya?"
"What do you mean, what did I do? I didn't do anything. It's all her fault. If she hadn't said those words, I wouldn't have gotten angry. How could I just stand there and let her tell me that the baby isn't mine, Rudra, when I know that it is my baby. I didn't mean to slap her but I lost control, she ju" Shivaay explained to Rudra in a frustrated voice, but Rudra stopped him by cutting in between and saying "No bhaiya, I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about what you did for bhabi to have wanted to leave, and that too without letting you or anyone else know about the baby. She must have had a reason. And bhaiya we all know that only one person could have made her resort to this. And that's you. You affect her, as she affects you, your actions in the lounge is testament to that. So tell me bhaiya, what did you do?" Hearing Rudra speak so sensibly and in such a serious tone, shocked both Shivaay and Om into silence, sharing brief looks of similar surprise. "What? What did I do now" Asked a confused Rudra, who had seen the exchange between his brothers.
"Nothing" Shivaay and Om said quickly, after which all three brothers looked at each other and started laughing. Getting off the desk, Om walked to Rudra and said "Actually, we're both just surprised to see this side of you. You've become so mature suddenly. I like this side of you. I see another Shivaay in the making. It makes me proud Rudra, to hear you speak like this and I also liked that you protected bhabi, even though it would have meant you standing against your elder brother, you still stood there, protecting her. Another Great Wall, don't you think Shivaay" On the last sentence , Om had turned to Shivaay, who was looking at Rudra the way a proud father would look at his son. "I guess this house was destined to have two walls. Which is good, because it seems like every problem in the world reaches us first" Om continued, trying to lighten the mood, he had seen Shivaay and Rudra's eyes tear up and knew that this wasn't the time for them to get emotional. They had more pressing matters at hand. Not now guys, we'll have our O'Bro moment later. But damn, I am proud of my little brother. He's made me proud today. And well the older one...Lets not go there Om. Not now.
Clearing his throat, trying to dislodge the lump that was forming there on hearing Om speak with so much pride in his voice and seeing the look of fatherly love Shivaay was giving him, he asked his brother the question they all knew had to be touched on sooner or later "What are we going to do now? How are we going to do damage control?" I just hope Shivaay bhaiya makes things right with bhabi. Everything always happens to her...What had O' said? Another great wall? Yes, I will be Anika bhabi's wall. I will protect her, even if it against Shivaay bhaiya. She's our angel. And we need to protect our angels. "I want to do a DNA test" Shivaay said, shocking Rudra and Om. "WHAT??" Both of them said, not even bothering that they had just screamed that out, anger and shock in their voices. "Listen to me, before you guys get worked up. And Rudra for God's sake, stopped looking at me like that, I perfected that look, it's not going to intimidate me" Shivaay replied to their scream, waving his hands to get them to calm down, and adding the last part when he had seen Rudra give him the SSO stare. Better watch yourself the next time you get angry or trouble Anika, these two won't feel bad about helping her kill you. Hahaha, Rudra would be enough to kill you by himself. Nonetheless, I'm grateful that she has my brothers to protect her.
Remembering that his brothers were waiting for an explanation, he continued in a cold tone "I want to do another DNA for Tia's baby" The response he got was nothing less than he expected. Both Rudra and Om nodded their heads, as if already understanding what he was about to explain next. "Tia said I had gotten drunk that night and that's how things happened. But even in my drunken state, I'm still in my senses, maybe not my full senses, but enough so that I remember. And I remember that nothing happened that night between Tia and I" Shivaay explained to, frustration thick in his voice. Watching his brother burning a path in the wooden floors of the study room, Om asked the one question that Shivaay didn't want to answer "Shivaay, this baby, how did it happen?" Om saw his brother stop at hearing the question, he saw his shoulder tense and saw how his eyes turned a dark shade of blue for just a split second, turned stormy and then on hearing Rudra's question, it danced with light "O' you too? First chote papa, and now you? I think you and chote papa need to go back to school and ask for your refund. How can they not give y'all the most important lesson in life??" Rudra asked, disbelief in his voice for the second time that day.What is with this family. Am I the only educated one here? Come Rudy, looks like you will have to give them the talk'.
"Rudra" His brothers called his name out causing him to look up at them. "Yes" He asked them, shaking off his thoughts but promising to teach them. "SHUT UP!!" Om and Shivaay shouted at him, both of them shaking their head as he shrugged his shoulders and walked over to Shivaay's desk to help himself to the sweet jar. "Shivaay, explain please" Om told Shivaay, who tiredly rubbed his hands over his face. Sitting down on one of the sofas, he clasped his hands together and told Om his story. "Remember after the lohri incident, that holiday to Shimla we all went on because Dadi insisted we go? And remember how you and Rudra and made sure that Anika and I go alone in my car, don't give me that look Om, I know it was planned. Who takes their own cook and cleaner on holiday? They only came on the trip so that the cars would be filled and Anika & I would have no choice but travel alone in another car" Shivaay had been telling Om the story but then on seen his brother's attempt to look innocent, his voiced turned annoyed.
Without waiting for Om to respond, Shivaay continued. "The car broke down on the highway and luckily I managed to park if off to the side of the road. Because it was so late at night, we couldn't get any lifts and nor any cellphone signal to phone for help, we had to walk to the nearest lodge. We found one but by then Anika and I were frozen, hungry and tired. We booked a room and ordered food to be delivered to our room" But Om interrupted Shivaay by saying "Shivaay, I know this, infact we all know this, so wh" On those words, Shivaay got up from the sofa and shook his head, causing Om to stop midsentence. Agitatedly pacing he explained to Om "You know what I told you.There's more. When we got to the room, I had ordered a jug of Espresso for myself, and a jug of tea for Anika, we were freezing and I figured the warm beverages would thaw us abit. I had told waitress to add some whisky in my espresso because I needed to relax and my meds were in the bags with you guys so whisky was the next best thing, but I think she hadn't heard me say espresso only and ended up adding it in both the espresso and tea" Shivaay stopped, running his hand through his hair, he sat down again and said "I don't know what whisky it was but we both ended up drunk. We were not in our full senses, we were cold and arguing and...and..." He stopped again. Feeling ashamed of himself, unable to look at his brother, he bowed his head.
"Shivaay, you both are adults, consenting adults who are also husband and wife, there is noth" Om had come to sit next to his brother wanting to stop his brother from beating himself up, but Shivaay spoke in-between in a thick voice "It shouldn't have happened like that Om. Not like that. I broke her trust...The next morning when I woke up and everything came back to me, I looked for her so I could explain, to apologise, to talk but by then you guys were already there and since then, I haven't gotten the courage to talk to her. I thought she doesn't remember that night. She never showed that she remembered and I left it at that because I was afraid that if I reminded her, she would hate me. I was a coward Om" Shivaay's voice broke on his brother name but he quickly composed himself and got up from the sofa again. "I want another DNA test done for Tia, Om. I know something isn't right. I always remember. Always" Shivaay turned o his brother and saw him nod his approval and said "We'll keep this between us and I want the results by tomorrow. If you and Rudra can maybe go give the samples to a trusted doctor tonight and maybe try to rush the results, we can clear things up by tomorrow."
"Bhaiya, how was it? Did you enjoy it?" Rudra who had been sitting on the desk, eating sweets while listening to his bhaiya's story, called out to Shivaay. "FHAT THE WUCK RUDRA!! How can...Are you mad??... I You...Did you just ask me that?...I'm your elder brother for God's sake! Have some shame" A spluttering, red eared, wide eyed, flushed cheeked Shivaay who had forgotten his little brother was in the room because he had been so quiet, told a confused looking Rudra. Seeing his Shivaay bhaiya's reaction to his question, Rudra got off the desk and came to his brothers, who both wore identical looks of embarrassment. Now what is wrong with them? Such a simple question and so much drama. And is bhaiya blushing?? "What's wrong with asking how the whisky tasted? Bhaiya said he didn't know what whisky it was. So I wanted to know if"
"RUDRA. SHUT UP!"
