Chapter 13
The Next Day ✨🩷
The next day Ashvik woke up early feeling fresh and happy because of his Ansh bhai , he always loved Ansh the most in the house and Ansh’s harsh behaviour made him sad , no
Matter how hard he tried to reason his behaviour but he couldn’t, so he altogether stopped expecting but now when Ansh has promised him ,he was on cloud nine , he was basically bouncing on his feet with happiness, But he was feeling nervous too about having breakfast with his older brothers, because before they resented seeing him in the morning, but now he was instructed to join the table, after getting freshed he was the only one with Abhimanyu to reach the dining room.

Ashvik: Good Morning Bhaiya!
Abhimanyu just looked up from reading the newspaper and gave a nod to Ashvik.
Ashvik was sitting at the far end of the table as always, when Armaan came and sat beside Abhimanyu, Ashvik cheerfully greeted him , but got disappointed with his reply.
Ashvik: Good Morning Armaan bhai .
Armaan : Good Morning? Well it was one before seeing your face . But now ,not so sure.
Then Abhimanyu said In a deadly calm voice
” Armaan, you are not a kid anymore so stop acting like one , do not speak like this again ,if you can’t talk nicely maybe try not speaking at all . “
Armaan : So now you are scolding me ? For him , wow brother!
Armaan said it barely contained sarcasm,
Abhimanyu slapped his hand on the table, and gave a look that said ” You better shut up now or the consequences will be bad ” to Armaan,which clearly made him shut up, instantly as no matter how big or powerful Armaan became,No way in hell he would want to deal with a Angry Abhimanyu, Till this time a maid came and served Espresso to Armaan and Abhimanyu and milk to Ashvik and kept a glass for Ansh to , as Abhimanyu was strict about giving coffee to kids in the morning, but what he still didn’t knew was that his brother Ashvik runs on clear will power and coffee for most of the days but who will tell him about that ? No one knew how unhealthy life Ashvik was living because of their hate , expectations and punishments for not being perfect, sleeping for 3-4 hours,skipping breakfast and lunch, just living on coffee , sometimes evening and late night snacks if he is starving, because the tiffin he made daily was destroyed or stolen by his bullies, but do they need to know? Nope
After Waiting for five minutes Ansh came , but instead of sitting beside Armaan and Abhimanyu like he normally would, he came and sat down beside Ashvik, Ashvik was just too shocked to see the looks Armaan was giving him if looks could kill he would be dead by now, but Ansh noticed immediately how Armaan was glaring at Ashvik and to make environment nice he started talking,
Ansh : Good Morning! Yo something wrong maan bhaiya ?
Then he looked at Abhimanyu and said ,
“Why does Armaan bhai look like disappointment had a seizure. ”
To which Abhimanyu just shrugged and Ashvik was trying hard not to laugh as Armaan was already mad , he didn’t have to get punished in the morning.
Armaan : Nothing is wrong with me And don’t you think you are being much comfortable with me. Khani hai daant tumko, do chaarr thappad ke sath ?
Ansh : Hawww aap mujhe datoge aur maroge bhi , nhi nhi my lord Mai Aisa toh nhi hone dunga , right abhi bhai ? , so bad bhai, mai bata raha hu abhi yahi rone lagunga chote baccho ki tarah pair patak patak ke han ! Aur phir aap hi bologe ki “ansh chup ho jao sar dukh Raha hai ” aur mai na ,nhi hounga chup phir , phir main Sari sar dard ki dawai bhi chupa dunga hmmph .
Abhimanyu: Ansh masti nhi karo , pareshan mat karo bhai ko , phir mere paas mat aana complaint leke agar punishment mile toh.
Ansh : of course , aye aye captain, mission irritate Maan bhai successful !
soon the maid came and served breakfast to everyone.
The Food 😋
They all are eating their breakfast in silence, until Ansh asked Ashvik
Ansh : why are you not eating? I am watching you Ashu , you are just playing with that one parantha, not eating at all ?
Ashvik: I drank milk !
Ansh : so ?
Ashvik: I am Not hungry, I have a Habit of drinking just milk for breakfast so , umm yeah that’s why!
Ansh was stunned hearing him , Armaan was pretending not to listen but was listening attentively whatever Ashvik was telling and making notes in mind to get Ashvik checked for any food disorders as he barely see Ashvik eating normally, but he was unaware of the truth as majority of time they are the reason behind his weird food habits ,
Then Abhimanyu spoke making Ashvik flinch at how calm he sounds,
Abhimanyu:When do you have your lunch?
Ansh replied in place of Ashvik as he was just looking down and playing with his hands now ,
Ansh : late afternoon
Abhimanyu: and you don’t eat anything till then ?
Ashvik: that .. that’s not true , I sometimes have Food .
Abhimanyu; these things should not continue Ashvik, Eat your damn food on time daily, and if you didn’t do as told , no one can save you from my punishments .
Ashviks whole face paled at the thought only, as Abhimanyu was ruthless, so he just nodded once feeling scared and started eating his breakfast faster.
Armaan : Eat slow or you will choke ! Idiot.
Ansh looked at Armaan and wriggle his eyebrows as Armaan clearly cared for Ashvik,but was too embarrassed to show it ,
Armaan : what? I don’t want a stupid ghost making choking sounds in my house , do I ?
Abhimanyu just shaked his head and completed eating.
Ansh : let’s go Ashvik, we have to buy some stationary supplies on the way ,so it will take some time, we have to leave early for that .
Ashvik: but bhai , I have to make my lunch too .
Ansh : Don’t worry, I already told Mrs Hernald to do that.
Ashvik: but..but , Armaan bhai said it’s my punishment so, I have to make it myself na ?
Armaan : Me ? When did I told you that, why can’t I remember saying it ?
Ashvik: you did ! When I accidentally dropped the tiffin, as a punishment you told me to make my lunch myself,till you say her to make me lunch.
Armaan: but.but. that was when you were what ? 9 years old , I thought I told her , oh no I forgot, but you should have told me, it was a long time ago I thought you started getting lunch by her , after that, are you going hungry or making your own lunch ?
Ashvik: umm , I figured out to make sandwiches at that time, but now I can cook well .
Abhimanyu: no need to make your own lunch from now , let me instruct Mrs Hernald , and Armaan ,come talk to me in my office after coming back from your meeting.
After that they all went to their respective places .

In school 🩷✨
Ashvik and Ansh got out of their car and At the same time Ronnie came seeing that Ashvik Started trembling, because he was scared of him , as he was his lead Bully apart from others he was the one to tell others what to do ,
Ronnie: hey man ! What are you doing with him , are we having fun first in the morning.
Ansh : Of course I am with him he is my brother,and stop , don’t disturb him from now on ,no more bullying him or anyone else,
Ronnie and I am serious.
Ronnie: common bro ! This leech is not your brother and remember,he is the reason for all your problems.
Ansh : Stop it Ronnie. And don’t ever call my brother something like that again or no one will be worse than me .
Ronnie was going to Ashvik when Ansh pushed him and told him this , meanwhile Ashvik was frozen in his place as all the bad memories were resurfacing in his brain, about jay , kai and The beatings he got from Ronnie suddenly he came to his senses and quickly scrambled inside the school.
Ashvik: I..i..i am leaving bhai .
Ronnie: what was that man huh ? Are you playing the best brother now ? Or you just forgot how you tortured him for years .
Why are you being a saint so suddenly?
Ansh : I was blind and stupid okay, he don’t deserve anything, and if you dare to bully him again, I will make sure you regret it , your image , college acceptance and that scholarships you are looking forward to, all gone in a blink of an eye , so stay away from my brother and don’t you dare to tell anyone about anything.
Ronnie: Fine ! What’s wrong with you all , first Jay and Kai transferred without any reason and are not contacting or replying to messages and now you are being the best brother, you know what? let’s not talk at all again and you are not welcome with us .
Ansh : okay, just stay away from my bhai and tell others too as my brother is more important than you all .

With Ashvik 🩷✨
Dante was early today, If you will ask why ? Then let me tell you the person who has to be reminded from his alarm 100 times to wake up and go to school that too after warning from teachers was early today himself before alarm as he just wanted to see his Shiv ❤️ and he couldn’t sleep thinking about Ashvik c and as he comes early or on time , so he came 30 minutes ago just so he can meet Ashvik.
Ashvik was walking towards the class when someone suddenly pulled him inside the washroom, he was terrified and was about to shout when the person gently placed one hand above his mouth, After watching who it was , Ashvik relaxed instantly,
Ashvik: Dante ? What are you doing here ?
Dante : Nothing ! Just wanted to see my shiv . You know how worried We all were, when you didn’t show up after your oh so great performance.
Dante said leaning close to Ashvik and stroked his cheeks making him Blush furiously
Ashvik: Sorry na pls forgive me my highness, okay tell me how can I make it up to everyone , and you .
Ashvik cutely said poking Dante’s cheeks instantly making Dante flustered cause of their proximity at the moment,
Dante : Well , I don’t know about everyone but as for me you have to promise me something, can you do that for me shiv ?
Ashvik: what ? Tell me first. Who knows what promise you want?
Ashvik said joking,but Dante was so serious, he gently took Ashvik’s hand and kissed it first then placed it above his heart,
Dante : promise me that you will take care of yourself , you know how dangerous it’s to skip meals and do extra work like you do ,you come daily looking so tired all the time pls shiv take care of yourself too it’s so important, you are hurting yourself and people who love you too by hurting yourself, promise me to take care of yourself shiv .
Ashvik: I.I promise
Ashvik said and ran to his classroom looking like a tomato because the way Dante kissed his hand and made him promise like he mattered was so intimate that it made him blush and feel things in his stomach that he didn’t know he was allowed to feel yet so he just ran from there being flustered.
