Chapter 4- Bhaiyu

Oberoi Mansion

Anirudh looked at the sculpture and smiled. It was finally finished. His client had been very specific about the sculpture. He wanted to auction it, to raise funds for charity. Anirudh wanted to give his best. he knew how much his work was worth. It didn't hurt to di it for a good cause. He left it out to dry and went out to get himself a cup of coffee.

Aditya and Ayushman came running to his studio. As usual they were bickering about something. Ayushman pushed Aditya to get away from him. Aditya pushed him back. It let to a full fledged pushing match. The boys were laughing wildly. They were having a lot to reckless fun. Ayushman pushed Aditya with a little bit more force. Aditya lost his balance and hit the work bench on which Anirudh had placed the sculpture. He tried to hold on to the work bench. The statue started wobbling , Aditya tried to hold it back but he couldn't do it with one had. The sculpture fell and shattered on the ground.

The boys looked at each other in horror. They were so dead. Anirudh walked in with his coffee.

He glared at them- "tum dono phir se aa gaye mughe pareshan karne?"

Ayushman and Aditya looked at each other scared. Anirudh had not yet noticed the damage they had done. Anirudh looked at their freighted expressions and got confused- "kya ho gaya? dono ne bhoot dekh leye kya?"

Ayushman gulped and looked at the shattered statue. Anirudh followed his gaze and was shocked. When he looked back at Ayushman his eyes were blazing with anger.

Anirudh- "kisne keya yeh?"

the boys looked at each other. Aditya knew if Ayushman confessed Anirudh would't go easy on him. On other hand he would just shout at him and ask him to get out. He could handle that.

Aditya gathering courage- "galti se haat lag gaya bhaiyu, i am......" he was cut off with a tight SLAP.

Ayushman gasped. Anirudh was furious. he did not even realize when his hand shot up in anger.

Anirudh- "kitna baar bola maine tum dono ne studoi me bhag daud maat karo, lekin sunne nehi hai tumhe, bas apne manmani karne hai"

Aditya flinched. he had never expected Anirudh would lash out at him. Anirudh had blasted Ayushman countless times but when it came to Aditya he always maintained distance. No matter how much Aditya tried he could never get a reaction from him, and today he finally got one and he was not liking it all.

Ayushman was shocked. He never expected Anirudh to slap Aditya. - "bhaiyu, uske galti....." Anirudh didn't spare him either. He cut him off with a slap.

Anirudh - "chup bilkul chup, mughe pata hai galti dono ki hai, dono mere sir chadke naach rahe ho, main yaha baithke din bhar timepass nehi karta Ayu, yeh workplace hai, jo sculptute aaj tum done ne toda hai na woh mughe kal client ko deliver karna tha, aab main client ko kya jawab dunga?"

Aditya's eyes filled up- "I am sorry bhaiyu, galti se....."

Anirudh- "galti se he hota hai aisa, koi jaan booj ke nehi karta, isleye main yaha bhag daud karne se mana karta hoon. lekin tughe to mere sunne he nehi hai"

Priya heard him shouting and rushed inside. She saw the boys standing there with heads bowed down and understood they were at fault.

Priya angrily- "kya keya aab tum dono ne?"

Anirudh shouted- "aab jawab do bhabhi ko, chup kyun ho dono?"

Priya looked at Anirudh, he looked furious- "kya keya tum dono ne?" she asked again.

Ayushman pointed towards the broken sculpture. Priya gasped- "pagal ho kya dono? char din se Ani ispe kaam kar raha tha, itne irresponsible kaise ho sakte ho?"
