:(: You Decide.

Hello, my dear readers, it's your crazy author back with another chapter for you. Just you! :)

□ ■

'In English, abhineta is known as an actor. To check the temperature we need a thermometer, keeping these things aside let's start the new chapter.'

I pressed my face against his chest and tightened my hold around him. 

He caressed my hair and said in a calm soothing voice, "Chotti, Stop Crying, Baba. I am here na, everything will be fine."

"I Know bhaii but," I sniffled "But they were there. I got scared by seeing them."

"Shh... I am here with you, nobody will harm you, Chotti." 

He assured me by rubbing my back. I feel safe in his arms, I feel shielded from the outside world with him. 

I nodded at him and came out of his hold. 

He poked my cheeks with his finger and said, "Chotti you are looking like a Tamatar right now." 

I put on my best fakest smile, "Too bad you can't add me to your food recipe." and tsked.

"Vaahii na but leave it you are probably bitter in taste and I don't want to spoil my food." he shrugged with a sly smirk forming on his face

I glared at him, "I am gonna complain to Papa, huh." and struck out my tongue at him

"Tittle-Tattle" he scowled

Mahn, I miss my brother. Doesn't matter how much he irritates me but I love my brother.

"Bhaii I missed you yaar," I mumbled and take him into a bear hug

"Haan toh kisne bola tha kii apartment mein Raho, vaise naa sahi hi haii because now there is no one to disturb me, no harm to my cars varna you have nearly damaged my car by puncturing my car's tyres and spilling cold drinks on my car's seats.

I passed him a sheepish smile to which he shook his head, "My room is also neat and clean otherwise you have made my room 'your adda' and all-time munching snacks on my couch. Also, now I can have Gajar Ka Halwa all for myself." he continued 

I mimicked him and asked, "Ho Gaya?" 

"Nah, Wanna hear one more interesting fact, Mumma made Gajar Ka Halwa yesterday and guess what?"

I pointed my finger in his direction, "No you haven't." 

"Oh Yes, I have." he grinned 

"Yaarrrrr this is not fair," I whined with a sulking expression resting on my face

"Everything is fair in food and war Chotti and this is a food war." he laughed

"Mein naahii baat kar rahi yaar aapse."

"Fine stop doing this drama I haven't eaten the whole halwa. It is still left, enough for you and me to eat."

He replied, rolling his eyes at me, making me sigh in relief that at least he hasn't eaten the whole halwa.

"Hashh, shukar haii. Vaise Bhaii Mumma se Yaad Aaya, she called today and she was telling me about Dimple Aunty."

I told him remembering the recent conversation with Mumma.

He let out a painful groan and said, "I swear Chotti I am not going to get married to those 'rishta girls'. What problem she has with us, especially me, Why is she hell bound on getting me married? Every day she sends a new 'rishta' to Mumma like-

"Bhaii," I interrupted his rant in the middle, "She has found a rishta for me, not for you."

"What The Actual Fuck!" he gave me an 'Are-You-Kidding-Me' look.

"Yes, The Actual Fuck!" I nodded giving him a "Smile-Through-The-Payne" look

"But you haven't even completed your post-graduation. You are only 25 for god's sake."

"I know bhaii and I told the same to her. But Dimple Aunty has manipulated her with her chikni-chupdi baatein yaar." 

He let out a tired sigh, "You know Dimple Aunty has a trait of a true salesperson, she will make a wonderful salesperson." I nodded in response, she actually is really good at those skills.

"It's her daily habit. Just ignore her as I do. And as for Mumma, I will talk to her. Don't worry."

He motioned me to walk forward, "Now, let's go upstairs god knows what's happening there. Aarav will be definitely pacing around the room biting his nails in worry and Pratiii has most probably murdered his phone by furiously typing and calling."

I chuckled, "I swear, Aarav must have burned at least 1000 calories by walking back and fro in the room and Pratiksh-

I stopped suddenly realising how did he know about both of them? 

"How do you know them?" "You know them?" we both asked at the same time, our faces mirroring confused expressions.

"They both are my best friend." 

I let out the loudest gasp and look at him with horror, "You can't be serious Bhaii." 

He gives me a strange look, "Do I look like I am joking about them being my best friends?" he deadpanned 

I just stared at him, no words were coming out of my mouth. 

Is a secret shooting going on here? 

I have smashed my brother's best friend's Mercedes without any knowledge of him being my brother's best friend. The very best friend who insulted me and tagged me as a gold digger. The one to whom I was so tempted to strangle with my bare hands. 

Wow! Just Wow! 

"Madam, come out of the world of your daydreams." Bhaii snapped his fingers in front of me "Will you tell me why you and Vrishtii were seen with Aarav and Pratiksh? Heck, you haven't even met them. How do you know them?" He bombarded me with the questions

"Umm, it's a long story." I said to which he just folded his arms and motioned me to continue, "I am all ears." 

"Disclaimer ahead, this will contain violence and foul language," I warned him dramatically 

He shot me an irritated look and said, "Chotti yeh movie director baad mein ban na, abhi jo pucha voh bata."

"You remember yesterday I called you to inform you about my accident?" I asked and he nodded in response 

"Well, your friend crashed his Mercedes into my scooty which leads us to an argument. He compared me to a gold digger and in anger I-

"You smashed his Mercedes." he completes the sentence, his lips pursed together in a straight line 

He shook his head and murmured, "Bagal Mein Chora, Seher mein dhindora."

 "But I swear I have no intentions of doing it, but he provoked me and raised a finger on my character." I pinched my throat 

"That's your and his personal matter Chotti and in my opinion you both were wrong. You both should talk together on this matter like responsible and sensible adults, we will discuss it later. Now, the main question left is, Why is the Media fussing over you both? Why were you and Vrishtii seen together with both of them? Why the hell was Pratiksh holding your bags?" 

"Actually Vrishii has a meeting at the mall and the client turns out to be the Singhania brothers. Aarav is Vrishii's College friend and after the meeting was finished we all were hanging out until we learned that we are all over the media today." I answered with a severe headache 

I massaged the side of my head, wanting it to vanish soon.

He watched me carefully and raised his eyebrow, "Have you taken your medicines today?" 

"I think I have," I answered unsure whether I have taken the medicine or not

"And you are going to be a doctor." he mocked giving me a sarcastic smile

I ignored him and start running my mind's horses to remember whether I have taken the medicine or not.

I felt a smack on my forehead, "Ouch" I rubbed it and glared at him

"Don't pressurise your mind, it will only worsen your headache. I will check the medicine strip, now let's go upstairs."

"I fucking knew it," Aarav exclaimed, jumping like a little monkey

"You remember Bhaii, I told you that her face is somewhat familiar but no you denied it. Huh, I toh was even doubtful when Aadhii told her name. But meri sunta kon haii." he shook his head in disappointment

"If you would have listened na, 440-volt ka jhatka naahii lagta aapko."

"If I remember carefully, someone was so shocked that he asked me to pinch him. Do you remember about whom I am asking Aarav?" Vrishtii raised his eyebrows at him

"How would I know Vriii about whom you are talking?" he shrugged

She smacked his head to which he pouted in response.

Seriously, does he remember that he is 29, not a two-year-old toddler?

Shaking my head at him, I turned towards another side.

.

.

.

Why is that woman staring at me, like she will kill me this instant?

I raised a brow at her and asked, "Is there any problem?"

She just ignored me and looked another side. I heard her mumbling, "Yes you" in a low voice 

Shrugging I moved my gaze from her and focused back on my mobile, checking for the latest updates.

It boils my blood to see how these people can make a huge fuss about something, all those questions, images and captions, Arghh !!

Somebody has rightly said, You never know what will happen next.

Two days before, I was attending a business conference in Delhi and the next day suddenly a girl in the form of a Hurricane entered my life. She not only insulted me but also smashed my Mercedes. The great luck that I have, I met her again and the very next moment I get to know that I have a fiance and I am going to get engaged to the very same girl, I was all over the News Channels, Social Media handles. Do you know what the best part is?

That girl turns out to be my best friend's younger sister. Like, What The Actual Hell is happening in my life? In this world, she has to be Shree's sister. 

"Aarav, how many calories have you burned till now?" Vrishtii asked Aarav who was pacing in the whole living room 

"Yaar Vriii, Mereko tension ho Raha haii and you are making fun of me." he scowled 

"If pacing back and fro can solve all the problems, then the whole world will be tension free." she pointed 

My lips turned into a sly smile, watching my brother sitting quietly like an 8-year-old sulking child on the sofa and drinking water like he is forced to swallow the whole milk glass.

"Bhaii, you remember you are working on a Joint Media House project with Vikram Bhaii. Call him, he can definitely help us." Aarav suggested

Vikram, How can I forget him? 

I instantly dialled his number, waiting for him to answer.

"Hello" came a voice from the other side of the phone

"Hello, Vikram. Actually, I need your help, it's pretty serious." 

"What's the matter?"

"I am all over the media and there is a huge ruckus. They spotted me along with a girl in the mall together and now they are assuming that we are getting married. They were following us in the mall and it's broadcasting on every damn Social Networking Site and News Channel." I explained the whole matter

"Give me a moment, Let me check it."

....."I just saw the news, and there are chances that this matter can go further if not taken strict actions." 

I sighed, "I know Vikram and that's why I need your help." 

"Ok, let's do one thing I will be free after approximately one and a half hour, I will meet you then. Just text me the address." 

"Sure, I will send it right away," I replied

"See you after 1 hr then." I ended the call and take a sigh of relief.

── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──

"I have talked with my friend about this Media Incident and he is willing to help us. He will be there in a while." I told her 

"Ok" she replied

"Shree you never told us that Ms Fireball is your sister." Aarav accused

"I myself get to know just 5 minutes ago that my sister is your Ms Fireball, Aarav," Shreesh replied with a pained expression

"I have a question, how have you both never met Aadhii like Shreesh Bhaii is your best friend na?" Vrishtii asked the million-dollar question that is eating up my mind

"Same question" Aarav raised his hand agreeing with her

"Actually Chotti used to live in the hostel since 9th standard and after completing her bachelor's she shifted to the apartment. That's how you both never met her." Shreesh answered 

"Shree I still can't believe 'she'," I emphasised the word 'she', "...is your Chotti."

She glared at me and asked, "Why is there any problem?" while gritting her teeth

"My friend is a Sane person but turns out his sister is insane."

I hide my smirk when I saw her getting riled up. She pointed her finger in my direction and said, "Listen, Mr Pratiksh Singhania, I think I don't need you to explain why we are siblings because you must have studied it in science. There is Recombination in Prophase 1 which is responsible for different Genetic Makeup in siblings, that's why I am not sane like my brother."

She give me a tight-lipped smile and continued, "Last but not least You are judging me again."

"As if you haven't done the same," I muttered under my breath

"Chotti you go inside," Shreesh told her to which she nodded and walked away

As she entered her room Shree looked at me and said, "Listen Pratii you are my best friend and she is my sister. You both are really important parts of my life and I literally don't want to involve in any one of your fights. Please try to avoid fighting and I will tell the same to her." 

I nodded and said, "I will try my best but she compelled and pushed all my buttons." 

"As if you haven't done the same." Aarav mocked

I raised my brow at him but he just shrugged with a "I-Was-Just-Stating-Facts." face

"I am making Chaii for Chotti do any one of you also want it?" Shree interrupted

Aarav and that girl whose name I still don't know responded positively whereas Vrishtii denied saying she is a coffee person.

", and Pratii what about you?" He asked 

As I open my mouth to reply he cut me in middle, "Oh! I forget 'Black Coffee' for life" he quoted 

I rolled my eyes at him and focused back on my phone.

"Umm Yashaswini," he called out to that girl whose name I finally got to know, "Will you please come inside and help me with the ingredients and stuff?" he asked

"Yaa Sure"
