Chapter 4

Shisha bhi tut ta hai tukdo Mein

Dil bhi tut ta hai tukdo Mein

Bas pharak itna hain

Sishe ke tukre sabko dikhta hain par dil ke tukre kisiko nahi

~Ankita Ghosh

Khwaish is trying to get the attention of the brothers. But they are avoiding her like a plaque.

"I said na sorry why are you not talking to me?" Khwaish whined

" Why are you saying sorry for your highness? Who I'm? No one will continue your work." Sanket mocked her..

"Fine don't talk to me. I won't eat anything till you both talk to me normally," Khwaish said

"If you didn't eat I swear you won't like the consciousness," Sanket snapped at her

"stop this childish drama, fine we are talking again. But don't do this not eating drama," Ekansh said

"I'm sorry I promise I won't snap at you and I will give you my attention while talking," Khwaish said

"ohk fine now don't be a drama queen. Come give me a hug," Sanket said and hugged her and khwaish took Ekansh in the hug

"mujhe bhul gaye? (forgot me?)" Mishika said with a pout

"awe tujhe kaise vul sakte hain aja (how can we forgot you come here)," Khwaish said and they all engage in group hug

After that everything seems normal. They were flowing with their routine. But in this time Sanket has been more possessive over her

"Khwaish, will you go with me?" Sanket asked her

"hmm others are coming?" Khwaish asked him

"why? Can't we go alone?" Sanket says gritting his teeths

"hey I just asked something. Why are you getting hyper? I have seen you get hyper in small things. And mostly that's are connected with me," Khwaish hissed at him

"oh now I'm getting hyper? You know what, I can't do this anymore. I'm breaking our friendship. If you think I'm hyper then let it be. You have your perfect Friend in Ekansh, don't ever talk to me," Sanket said angrily

"wait a second why are you dragging Ekansh in between? He has nothing to do with it. You are my friend like he is," Khwaish said

"oh, are we both equal khwaish?" Sanket asked coming close to her

"yes, you both are same," Khwaish Lied

"Then why do I see love for him in your eyes Khwaish? Why do I find love and expectation in your eyes for him? Are you lying to me or yourself? I'm not blind like my brother Khwaish. I have two good eyes and I use them. My brother don't love you khwaish he only see you as a friend he like Laisha."Sanket said in one breath

It's like A nuclear bomb dropped on her.

" How the hell does he know?" Khwaish thought

" what are you saying? Have you lost your mind completely? "Khwaish tried to brush it away

" oh really? Then tell me you don't love him looking at my eyes. Tell me you don't feel anything for him. Tell Me, "Sanket said holding her hands tightly

" I don't love him, "she lied again

" You don't, right? Then you don't have any problem accepting me? "Sanket said with a smirk

" huh? What do you mean? "Khwaish asked bewildered

" If I ask you to be my girlfriend will you be? "Sanket asked her with seriousness

" you're not serious," Khwaish said brushing it off

" I'm dead serious, "Sanket said looking at her eyes.

" we are best friends Sanket," Khwaish said trying to get her hand free from his hold

" yes we are and it's proven best friend's are the best life partners," Sanket said looking at her lovingly

" you have lost your brain. I don't want to talk about it," Khwaish said and was about walk out from there when she heard him saying

"I love you Khwaish," Sanket said holding her hand in an attempt to stop her

Khwaish froze on the spot and she really didn't know how to react.

"you're not saying the truth. You can't love me. Nor I can," Khwaish said after she came out of her shock

"why?" Sanket asked her

"because I love Ekansh yes I do," Khwaish finally confessed

Sanket left her hands with a smile.

"Finally you confessed, I only wanted it don't take my words seriously it was needed for it," Sanket said but his eyes betray him

They became watery and red

"Sanket, do you love me?" Khwaish asked but Sanket only shook his head

"No, I don't know, don't waste time on this. Tell him soon before he fell for Laisha, I'm really happy for you," Sanket said with a smile but his inside was crushing

"so it means you were only provoking me?" Khwaish asked him

"yes, I saw the love in your eyes so I thought why not make you confess," Sanket said

"you know what you almost killed me," Khwaish said and punched him playfully

"I will die but never let you get hurt or die," Sanket said seriously

"I know my best friend won't let me get hurt, now come on tell me about your plans," Khwaish said smiling

"Actually I wanted to take you on a date, a friendly one. I want to practice with you for future," Sanket said

"You should have told me earlier without doing any drama. I would have agreed happily. You're an idiot you know," Khwaish said smiling

"that I'm," Sanket said they both talk more and then khwaish left

Sanket looked at her retreating figure. He smiled but tears made its way down his eyes. He held the small box he had with him.

He had a ring for her. If she had said yes to him then he would have proposed to her.

"I knew you loved him like everyone. Why can't you love me instead of him? Why does everyone prefer him over me? What does he have that I lack? We both are same in everything yet everyone prefer him over me praise him always," Sanket said crying bitterly

He went back to his eyes and locked his room. But he didn't see that Mishika was already sitting in his room.

" she confessed her love for him didn't she? "Mishika asked him

" Mishika go from here, I'm in no mood to talk," Sanket said

" I told you bhai she loved him but you didn't believe me. I may be younger than you but I'm more sensible than you in this matter. I'm a girl who understands a girl better, don't worry bhai you will forget her. It's just about time, "Mishika said hugging her brother

" I hope that as well Mishi, I want to forget her. It will be a disaster if she and Bhai end up together. Please promise me you will never tell this to anyone, "Sanket said

" I won't I promise, (except khwaish if needed) "She said to him
