Till Death Do Us Apart ✔️

Chapter 17

Divya

I came back to my room after my dinner, I suddenly heard someone calling my name and turning around I saw Arjun there.. that moment I was really scared to see him at the odd hour and shouted so loud that he had to close my mouth with his palm.

"Divi", I heard Bhai's voice

Shit.. totally fucked up now!

"Run inside", I pushed Arjun into the washroom and closed the door

"Divi are you fine?", Mom asked as soon as I opened the door

"What happened, you shouted so loud", dad asked

"I'm fine mom, umm.. I just saw a cockroach", I said

"But you ar'nt scared of it Divi", Bhai said

Dammit, fuck the facts and logics now..

"Yes but.. ahh, it was flying today.. so I got a little scared", I said

"Okay take care.. if you are still scared then use the other room for today", dad said

I just nodded and mom dad left the room.

"Divi we both know you are lying", Bhai said

Damn, how does he know so much about me?

"Bhai I'm fine", I assured not wanting to lie again

"You sure?.. it's ok if you ar'nt comfortable to tell the reason, but your safety matters Divi", he cupped my face

"I know Bhai, but please don't take me wrong.. it's nothing I have to hide but I'll tell you when the time comes", I said

"Okay", he smiled

He kissed my forehead and left the place. I wouldn't mind telling Bhai about Arjun being here now, but I still can't forget the small conversation we had the other day when he met Arjun.

"What do you feel for him?", Bhai asked

"What do you mean Bhai?", I asked

"It's clear that he's interested in you from what you said.. so I was just asking about your feelings", he asked

"No Bhai, we are just friends.. ofcourse sometimes even I felt such but I don't think so", I said

"Divi if he loves you, it isn't wrong.. if you love him back, that's also not wrong unless he's a right one for you.. so think before you take any decision.. I can't see you in pain again, I asked coz I was surprised seeing you talk to boys after these years..", he said

"Yeah I understand Bhai.. but I don't feel anything now, so can we not talk about it now?", I asked

"Your wish, but remember our past should not spoil our present.. and your brother is always with you", he said kissing my forehead

If I say him now that Arjun came now, Bhai might think other way so it's better not to tell any now.

I opened the washroom door and saw him standing there smiling at me sheepishly..

"Come", I said

"Sorry, I din't mean to scare you", he said

"That's ok, but what are your doing here.. and how did you even come?", I asked confused

"Oh you forgot your book so I came to give you that.. I called you many times but since you din't answer I had to climb and sneek from the balcony", he said as a matter of fact
