Beyond Control

shot 24

"You guys know each other??" Amar asked frowning at the easy interaction between Zahir and his Mirrie

Zada stiffened in alarm and shot a pleading look at her brother who casually leaned back in his chair and shrugged

"I asked you a question Oberoi" Amar asked icily

Zada held her breath and felt the walls closing in on her

Then she wondered why the hell she is even hiding her identity

It has been a stupid decision to begin with which now turned into a necessity because she is terrified things would change between her and Amar once he knew she is his best friends' sister

How had Amar become so important to her in such a short period of time

She knows she can't hide it forever, but she needs to be more secure in their relationship

What relationship???

Well, that's the point

She is not secure enough to believe that they have a stable relationship, and taking into consideration Amar's reputation, could anyone blame her??

All she knows is that she likes him a tad bit too much

And she didn't want any silly bro code to ruin things for her

Why do these boys have to have bro codes to begin with??

Look at her!! How happy she is that her brother likes her best friend

Shouldn't her brothers return the courtesy

Don't sisters deserve that??

How could brothers be such a hypocritical creation of God

"We do" she heard Zahir saying lazily and Zada's breath hitched

She sneaked a glance at Amar and couldn't read his expression

"How do you know each other??" Amar asked and Zahir frowned at his tone

"She is Neha's best friend" Zahir said and Zada let out her breath in relief

At least her brother had the presence of mind to come up with that

Why didn't she think of that anyway??

"And Neha introduced you two?? And why didn't she tell me about it" Amar asked his finger pointing at Zada making Zahir's frown deeper

Zahir leaned forward and looked straight into Amar's eyes

"And why would she tell you anything? How do you know her??" Zahir asked icily

Zada clenched her fist in frustration

Why does this have to happen with her??

What sin did she do in the last birth that all this is catching upon her

God!! Being with Neha, she is turning into a drama-queen already

"Uh.. I meant Neha. Not her" Amar said awkwardly now that he is put on spot

"And why should Neha tell anything about her to you??"

"Because she calls me Vedu bhai. That makes me her big brother. Is that reason enough" Amar asked glaring at him and Zahir looked on suspiciously

The better thing to do would be to get up and leave. And that would take their focus away from her and hopefully to something else, Zada thought wearily

"Guys. I think it's better I leave. It was nice meeting you both" She said eyeing both of them meaningfully to which they both nodded in understanding hoping the other one wouldn't notice

Zada walked away from the table and send a prayer to her momma's shankarji hoping that he would distract both the boys

Amar kept staring at her as she walked out

"Why are you looking at her like that??" Zahir snapped

"What is it to you? Why are you so bothered about her??" Amar snapped back

"Just keep away from her Vedant" Zahir warned and Amar's lips thinned in annoyance

"Why the hell should I??" Amar asked his voice raising

"I don't want you to ruin it for Zi" Zahir said trying to reign his temper

He would like to talk with his fists, because he definitely saw the way Vedant looked at his little sister.

Amar was interested and he simply didn't like it

No one looks at his sister that way

Not when he is alive

"Zi?? Zian likes her??" Amar asked in horror

"No. Ofcourse no. Zi likes Neha. And she is Neha's bestfriend. And like it or not. We both know your reputation among girls"

"Just like yours" Amar retorted which Zahir decided to ignore

"As I said. I don't want you to play with Zi's girl's bestiee. Because we both know your interest won't last and when it happens it will indirectly affect Zi and Neha. So Vedant. Better keep away from her." Zahir said

"What non sense" Amar muttered

"Why are you so fixated on her??" Zahir snapped angrily

Oh he would love to scream it at his face that the girl is his little sister and he would punch the life out of him if he so much as breath in her direction, but then his sister would disown him

"I'm not fixated on her. I just didn't like you ordering me around" Amar said defensively

He could have simply said that she is his Mirrie. The girl he likes and who indeed likes him too. But then Mirrie would never forgive him. She wouldn't like to be in the spot light. And it's duty to protect her

"Well. As long as you stay away from her, things would be good" Zahir said

"Wait. Did you say Zian and Neha's relationship?? What relationship??" Amar asked finally catching upon new information

Zahir grinned

"Zi likes her. You should see him when she is around" Zahir said chuckling

"Really?? Zian and Neha?? That's a very unusual combination" Amar said chuckling

"But they look cute together" Zahir said

"That they do" Amar agreed and then his eyes widened as he looked around

"Where is Sammy??"

"Sammy??"

"Yeah. She came in with me. She was here. Does she know that Zian likes Neha" Amar asked

Zahir sighed

"I think she does."

"Damn it. She might have seen them going out together. Let me go and check on her" Amar stood up from his seat to go search for Sammy

"No. I will go see her. You didn't have your lunch yet right " Zahir said and stood up from his chair

"Fine. Just make sure she is okay." Amar said sighing

"Hmm. See ya" Zahir said and walked out of the cafe in search of Sammy
