ShivOmRu : A Bond Beyond Brotherhood

#15

Shivaay was sitting in the living room of his 1RK with a pen in hand and a notepad on his lap, he was smiling fondly at his youngest brother.

"...Aur balloons, aur bourbon biscuits, aur cold drinks, chips, aur bhaiya aap na please khaane mein apke haath ki Veg biryani banana woh bhi Paneer daalke." ("...And balloons, and bourbon biscuit, and cold drinks, chips, and bhaiya please cook Veg biryani for me with paneer.") Rudy ranted with dreamy eyes and utter excitement.

Om rolled his eyes and face-palmed himself. "Slow down." He said. "Aisa lag raha apna last birthday mana raha hai, jara toh chill kar, kitna bolega aur kitne demands karega ?" ("You're acting like you're celebrating your last birthday, how much will you speak and how much more you'll demand ?")

Shivaay nudged Om. "Aise nahi bolte Om. Baccha hai woh, ab zidd nahi karega toh kya budhape mein karega ?" ("Don't say like that, Om. He's a kid, he has the right to demand and if he won't demand for something now then when will he ? In his old age ?")

"Bhaiya ! Mein budha nahi hounga." ("Bhaiya ! I won't get old.") Rudy pouted. "I'm the Rudra Singh Oberoi, I'll always remain smart, handsome and hot Rudy."

Om and Shivaay laughed at their overdramatic brother.

Rudy's 10th birthday was approaching and he wanted to host a small party for all his friends from the area.

"Accha okay, woh sab chodo aur mujhe batao ki tumhe gift mein kya chahiye ?" ("Okay, leave it aside and tell me what do you want as a gift ?") Shivaay asked Rudra.

"Bhaiya, apko woh electric motor car yaad hai ? Jo battery se chalti hai aur jisme baith ke hum ghum sakta hai ?" ("Bhaiya, do you remember that electric motor car ? Which is battery operated and in which I can sit and drive ?") Rudy asked.

Shivaay recalled that and nodded.

"Mujhe woh car chahiye." ("I want that car.") Rudy answered.

"What ?" Om asked but he immediately shut his mouth when he saw Rudy's happy and hopeful face.

Shivaay couldn't find words to say anything so he just gave a brief nod.

"Thank you bhaiya ! Thank you ! You're the best ! Yay !" Rudy cheered and hugged Shivaay tightly.

Rudy was about to run off to tell this news to his friends when Om stopped him.

"Kaha jaa rahe ho ? Tumne toh bataya hi nahi ki cake konse flavour ka chahiye." ("Where are you going ? You never told us what flavoured cake you want.") Om said.
