" And are you really not gonna live in the dorms just because he cried , he still acts like a child . I remember when you both were small he always cried whenever we decided to separate both of you , what a childish kid " Mrs. Radha ends her sentence with a soft chuckle remembering the childhood of her two sons .

" I guess i'll have to , I already promised him " Adhir replies as he too chuckles along with his mother .

" And since when did u started fulfilling your promises "

" If someone ever hear you say that they'll misunderstand me , I just broke one promise " Adhir looks down at the empty glass in his hand twirling it around in circles .

" And it became a pretty big deal for him " Mrs. Radha snatches the glass from the other's hand and pushes him back to his room , " Now go back to your room what'll you do if he starts crying again "

" No no , I can't handle that at all " Adhir bids his mother a good night and goes to his room in which Luv seems to already fell asleep by now .

Adhir looks at him with glist filled eyes , " Will you be sad if I break another promise Luv "

Adhir types furiously on the keyboard because of the annoying voice ra,ping around his room since the morning .

" I'm gonna ask for one last time , are you gonna be quiet or not "

" but I didn't even say anything " Luv defensively looks at Adhir .

" you are walking around very loudly "

" I'm just keeping an eye on you "

" And why are you keeping an eye on me ? "

" I just want to , you got a problem "

" Well , you think I  don't "

" Either way , I'm not going anywhere "

" Don't try to pi- "

" Mom said if you both don't stop fighting she'll cut down your dinner for the next 3 days " Avni shouts from outside the room shutting up both of her brothers .

" WE'RE NOT FIGHTING " Both of them shout back after a sec of silence .

" You're not allowed to shout too " Avni says as she sternly kicks the door holding her head high.

" WE'RE - we're not shouting " This time both of them lower their voices and certainly changed their tone too .

Avni leaves after scolding both of 'em for a few more times ( She ought to take revenge for the scoldings she had received until now . )

Luv stares at the other for a while before finally coming to a decision .

" I'm gonna play games for a while "

" The doors always open for you to go and play games leisurely . "

" When did I say I'm gonna go to my room "

" What do you mean- "

" Step aside , I'm gonna play in your PC " Luv tries to pull the chair on which Adhir seem to be sitting .

" I'm working rn " Adhir blocks the way as he spreads both his legs and hands out to grab the corners of the table .

" Well you're working in your laptop and you can do that on your bed too no need to sit here , now step aside " Luv struggles to remove the other's hands and legs blocking his way and when he finally does remove them he hastily sits in Adhir's lap .

" Luv- "

" What ? , If you're not willing to get I'll just have to sit here " Luv sticks out his tongue to tease the older .

Adhir tries pushing the younger away but did not accomplish it in the end so he just removes his laptop and other documents .

" You not gonna let me go " Adhir asks sighing .

Luv turns back to look at his face before smiling sheepishly and answers " Your lap is more softer than the chair hehe . "

" Silly " Adhir replies chuckling as he pats the other's head a few times .

The bustling on sunday morning is never as quiet as the other mornings , can't say about others but it is never quiet in this one specific family .

Mr. Kishor flips the trowel in his hands a few times before finally showing it in the ground .

" Let's get this done today , no one is allowed to escape from the garden this time " Mr. Kishor exclaims excitedly while the others follow him with a dull expression .

" Isn't sunday the day to rest why's dad like this " Luv says whining the most and his mom slaps the back of his head .

" You're not the only one doing this just keep quiet and do what he asks us to "

" What are you all babbling about come here I'll assign you your tasks for today , What a fresh day it is today " Mr. Kishor takes a deep breath before assigning two different tasks to each of 'em .
