"Avyaana?, Anna?"

"Avyaana?, Anna?"

Breathe In and breathe out

A soft hand landed on her shoulder, shaking her

Avyaana could feel that someone was calling her but their voice was blur because all she could do was try to sit there and stare at nothing.

In and out

In and__

"Huh?", Avyaana blinked and blinked again turning to take a look at her surroundings well and then back at Nina who was looking at her confused.

Her muse getting interrupted

Seriously?

She was fucking daydreaming about punching someone while that very person is sitting in front of her

but it felt so real....

"I'm fine", She cleared her throat and then her gaze landed on Aaryan who was smirking as if he knew exactly what she was thinking about.

Oh how she wishes to wipe that smirk off his face by punching him in the face and make her dreams come true, but instead, she just gave him a smile to which he returned with a hint of mockery, his Onyx orbs twinkling with amusement

Avyaana closed her eyes again, clenching her jaw

She would deal with him later, but for now...she focused on eating her food even though she could feel his dark gaze flickering to her constantly to s point it became uncomfortable.

Resisting the urge to snap at him, she pursed her lips instead, checking her irritation. She wouldn’t give him the satisfaction he so desperately wants

It was 30 minutes later as Aaryan and Viren 
has decided that they wanted to know the history of their father's school life followed by Avyaana and Nina as they all sat opposite to each other listening attentively to the two old men talking about their lives with a smile on their faces

Isha was busy taking pictures of herself with the painting on the side of the staricase as usual while both Ishani and Lilah were in the kitchen, starting with their new friendship and having the conversation of their own about this and that

This continued on until Isha suggested that they go see the backyard leaving both Armaan and Vivaan in the office talking about some 'business'

It was dark outside and the stars long unseen with just the moon light illuminating but still dimmed by the tubelights covering every corner of the backyard  

The four figures trailed accross the pool near the benches, all of them blinded by their own thoughts while Isha blabberred about anything and everything

With his hands in his pockets, Viren blew out an annoyed breath through his mouth at his sister, she just wouldn't shut up, God knows how is she even his sister.

What if she wasn't?...what if his had been exchanged by someone else in the hospital? There were so many children born on the same day...the chances are high

Yeah. That might be possible because there is no way his sister would be so ugly and talkative. Maybe_

A soft giggling voice brought him back to reality and he turned his head to see Nina throwing her back and laughing. Her eyes flickering shut, her little hand clutching her stomach with a soft smile that highlights her cheekbones as she shakes her head from side to side. Her dark brown hair waving around with the movement making her look so beautiful and fragile.

Fuck his heart, its beating so fast, he's scared it would pop out any minute. He took a deep breath, trying to bring his breathing back to normal. It feels like he just ran a mile in a minute

Maybe Isha really is his sister afterall, he would let her talk nonstop only if this is the view he got to see every day

"Owww", Viren mumbled rubbing at his sides glancing at his brother who caught him eye fucking Nina.

Aaryan narrowed his eyes in warning. They were guests here and he didn't want his brother looking like a creep and embarassing himself.

Viren just shrugged in return but his brother raised a perfect brow at him, daring him to do otherwise.

Viren sighed shaking his head and dropping his hands back into his pockets before turning and walking around the backyard with his brother, their backs to the women behind them.

"Do you know her?", Aaryan started, a little bit casually but his voice held curiosity.

"How do you know her?", Viren tilted his in return regarding him Silently because it something told him that it was not Aaryan Bhai,s first time seeing Nina either.

"The same day I went to pick up Isha from School", Aaryan grumbled annoyed.

"Oh, I met her somewhere after my last concert", Viren mumbled, turning around and staring at the pool and the girls standing nearby.

"So she's one of your fans huh", a dark brow rose as a hint of amusement took over Aaryan,s dark and handsome features

"God no", Viren scoffed, "If anything, she didn't even know my name. She was just passing some posters on the streets near our school and I happened to be one of them"

"What were you doing there?", Aaryan stiffened, his attention now fully on his little brother. It's been a long time since he has even passed by that direction, for him, it wasn't like he has any good memories from his school like other kids and it felt unusual to hear about their childhood place from Viren.

"Long story", Viren rolled his eyes dismissing the matter with slight wave of his hand, oblivious or his brother,s thoughts.

Aaryan blowed softly through his mouth turning in time to see Isha clicking pictures right beside the pool alongside Avyaana while Nina stood at a distance from them, his feet moving on his own in alarm.

"Isha, get away from there", he warned, his voice holding an edge.

Isha,s gaze flicked to her brother in surprise, losing her balance on her heels.  Her feet slipped off the land and she yelped as she fell, the cold water swallowing her instantly, dragging a sharp cry of fear,  her voice muffled under the flaps of bubbles under the water.
