Chapter 6
The Agnihotri's
As the family sat at the dining table, Naksh and Nishal wore expressions of frustration and annoyance that seemed to scream, "One wrong move, and I'll sue your ass."
Mrunali sat on the edge of her seat, her hands clasped tightly together as she tried to contain her nerves.
Vedika sat with a grim and distant expression, while Shivay radiated positive energy, his warm smile infectious. Despite his confident demeanour, a single glance from Janvi was enough to turn him into a melting pudding.
Janvi, Aahan, and Pihu sat with an expression that clearly said, "We don't give a damn about anyone's existence," while the elders looked back and forth between them.
Mr. Agnihotri cleared his throat to get everyone's attention before speaking. "Everyone, I have something to announce," he said, and everyone's attention shifted to him.
"After seeing yesterday's cat-dog fight, I've decided something," he paused, then continued. "Nishal and Vedika are going to be moved out to America."
"WHAT!!...?" Vedika exclaimed...
"My child, don't raise your voice at me..." Even Mr. Agnihotri spoke calmly, there was a clear hint of threat in his words...
"Sorry Dad..." Vedika bows a little.
After nodding his head slightly in acknowledgement, he proceeded...
"The biggest project in America is coming up, and Nishal needs to depart for America the day after. I'm hoping Vedika can join him and continue her medical studies in America, following in the footsteps of Aahan and Pihu."
This news shocked everyone but no one dared to speak against his words...
"I hope this one situation is clear to everyone... Now about another decision," he takes a deep breath while looking at them with an intense gaze,
"You six are going on holiday to our farmhouse..."
Silence... Nobody speaks because they're waiting for Mr. Agnihotri to say 'I'm joking' but it never came...
"But why...?" Aahan asked.
"Because you guys need some sense..." He replied in a matter-of-fact tone...
"But why do we have to leave our house...? And holidays...? We have a job, Dad..." Naksh said in a slightly irritated tone...
"And who cares about your jobs...?" Mr. Agnihotri rebuked...
"What do you mean...?"
"I said who cares for your jobs... You all work in my hospital, so who cares...? And you're already capable and experienced enough, that a few holidays will not affect your brain...
I have enough money to feed your upcoming eighth-generation without dropping a sweat...
But the way you all acted yesterday, the day is not so far when you all will disgraced in Agnihotri's name..." His tone is cleared like water, no turning back...
"But why there is a need for shifting...?" Naksh spoke while his eyes shifted to his mother... Everyone knows in the house, how much Naksh love his mother, and that's why he is unwilling to leave the house...
"Stop asking unrequired questions... You're not five years old anymore." Mr. Agnihotri replied...
"But what you're doing has no sense and still you want us to follow like a dumbass puppet..." Naksh's voice raised a little, he was gritting his teeth in anger...
"Manner, Naksh..." Aahan throws a glare in his direction...
"Sorry brother..."
Aahan is the only person in the world whom Naksh respects and listens to...
"My decision is final... You all have to work on your relationship... Any more questions...?"
A small hand raised into the air caught everyone's attention...
"We're not in a kindergarten classroom, soon-to-be sister-in-law..." Naksh said while laughing like a pig...
"I just want to ask questions..."
So the owner of this little hand was Mrunali, whose cheeks turned red after hearing Naksh's comments...
Her actions were so funny that everyone at the dining table burst into giggle, even Aahan chuckled at her.
"You don't have to raise your hand for asking, Dear..." Mrs. Agnihotri sweetly said...
"Sorry..." She mumbled softly...
"What do you want to ask, Mrunali...?" Mr. Agnihotri asked...
"Um!!, I can understand why I have to go with them but why is Brother Shivay also coming...? What if he has more important work or he doesn't want to come...?" She tilted her innocently while Shivay choked on his drink...
Everyone at the dining table already knows that even if they didn't ask for his opinion, his answer would be yes or maybe he will beg his parents that he also wants to go with them... But this poor innocent soul still asks this question...
Shivay coughed lightly in embarrassment, while Janvi only shook her head...
"Because it's for your safety..." Mr. Agnihotri replied...
"Ohh!!"
"Soo innocent..." Pihu said with a smile...
"Indeed..." Janvi replied.
Shivay gave her sister a forced smile which means' When you have a sister, who needs an enemy...'

(Time skip)
Following Mr. Agnihotri's words... Now six people are sitting in the living room staring at each other...
"So...? What's now...?" Janvi asked...
"Let's play a game..." Mrunali exclaimed excitedly...
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Why so silent...?" She asked.
"Twin, she is talking about life schedule..." Pihu calmly replied to her...
"Yeah, which is no more worse than a game..." Janvi sigh...
"But I have a question..." Naksh asked, " How would Dad get to know if we're talking to each other or not...?"
After he finished his question, a voice bloomed into the living room...
"I'M BACK, BITCHES..."
As soon as the deep and commanding voice echoed across the room, everyone's attention shifted towards the entrance.
A tall and imposing figure appeared, radiating a sense of confidence and power with each step he took. His well-built physique was a sight to behold, and his chiselled features were nothing short of divine.
His sharp jawline, straight nose, and piercing eyes were enough to make anyone swoon. But there was something mysterious about him, something that made him stand out from the crowd. A playful smile played on his lips, but his eyes were dark and distant, hinting at a depth of emotion that he kept hidden from the world.
"Ohh my goodness, Wow!! So much Beauty in this house..." The man said while his eyes travelled to Pihu, Janvi and Mrunali... He winked at their directions...
"All are committed, idiot..." Naksh retorted.
"So what...? Does my compliment make them single...?" He said with a playful smirk without removing his eyes from the girls...
"Hey Janvi, still single...? Waiting for me, huh..?" He wiggles his eyebrow at her...
Janvi scoffed before giving him a fake smile,
"Hii you too... Still annoying ass...? Why? Waiting for my kick, huh?"
He laughed at her comments and said,
"Fesity..."
"What up, bro...? Long time no see..." He waved his hand in the direction of Naksh and Aahan...
Aahan only nodded his head while Naksh replied,
"It would be better if we did not see a piece of shit like you a little longer..."
"Ouch!! It hurts my emotions, bro..." He clenched his chest but his playful smirk was still there...
"Who is this cartoon network...?" Pihu whispered to Janvi...
"Sidharth Singh Oberoi, a close shitty friend of Brother Naksh and Brother Aahan..." Janvi whispered back...
Here, this is Sidharth Singh Oberoi, a 27-year-old man with a dashing look...
He is a close friend of Naksh and Aahan and the son of Mr. Agnihotri's best friend...
(SIDHARTH SINGH OBEROI)
Sidharth is well known for two things, first his weakness for beauty and second his mysterious aura... There is not a single person in the world who knows about him except his name and background...
Except for his good looks, Sidharth is also famous for his Shameless nature...
He is the type of person who walks naked on streets and tells others "If you have shame then close your eyes, and if not then how about one night..."
Overall Sidharath is a Spoil-rich-ass playboy who has a mysterious personality...
"Not bad..." Mrunali blunts out but the next moment she adds a few more words when Janvi and Pihu give her a weird look...
"Not bad but not good..."
Then she noticed Sidharth was walking in her direction, she gave him a polite smile...
He returned the smile and said in a flirty tone,
"Heaven blessed the earth, An angel between us..."
"Thank you for your compliment..." She shows her beautiful and genuine smile...
Unaware that someone is planning the murder of Sidharth in his mind...
"And innocent too..." He said while looking in Aahan's direction...
"What's your name, pretty girl...?" He asked,
Mrunali was going to reply to him but was cut off by Aahan...
"Little one, come here..." He pointed beside him...
" I'm not Little..." She mumbled but still obediently walked beside him...
Aahan placed his arm around Mrunali's waist which shocked her...
"Siddharth, Meet my soon-to-be wife, Mrunali Wagh or Soon-to-be Mrs Aahan Agnihotri..."
Mrunali blinked many times, can't believe what she heard... A wave of blush crept over her cheeks while butterflies started their welcome performance in her stomach...
"Lucky bastard..." He said with a laugh...
Then He picked a cane from the table and started drinking from it...
"Yoo!! Too-goody-friendzone-lover-boy, your ass is also here..." He raised his cane in Shivay's direction with a chuckle...
Shivay ignored his comment and asked,
"What are you doing here...?"
"Ohh! Uncle (Mr. Agnihotri) send me here..." He said nonchalantly...
"Why...?" Naksh asked.
"To keep an eye on you guys and update your every single shit to uncle..."
Understandable is the only word that came to everyone's mind...
Sidharth eyes move in Pihu's direction and meet with her eyes on him... He smirked more and walked in front of her...
"I see... Your mesmerizing eyes are checking me out..."Â He spoke while calmly sipping his drink.
"Yeah... You're weird..." She replied calmly.
"Many people told me this, nothing new..."
"Your looks are weird..." She corrected her words.
"Ahh! Something new... Many people told me how handsome I am... But this first time someone said different... How...?"
"You look like a mixed vegetables..." She replied calmly without an expression which made Sidharth choke on his drink while others burst into laughter...
"What!!?"
"I said you look like a mixed vegetable..."
"I Heard that but why...?"
"Because you're dressing style is mixer of Aahan and Naksh style..." Pihu points out...
And Her words are true... Sidharth hairstyle and his wristwatch match with Aahan's... but his way of wearing clothes and accessories is like Naksh's- too much revealing and chains...
"It is because my style is inspired by my bro's..." He flicked his arms in a show-off...
"Then you've got the worst taste in style..." She replied.
Sidharth was silent for a few seconds then burst into laughter...
"Savage... Huh...? I like it... By the way, what's the name of the savage queen...?" Even his words are full of laughter but his eyes glimpse of darkness...
"Pihu Agnihotri, wife of Naksh Agnihotri..." She replied...
"Remember the last line, you mixed vegetable..." Janvi said with a smirk.
"Your material...?" He asks to Naksh while pointing at Pihu...
"None of your fucking business..." Naksh retorted.
"Of course, it's my business... She is completely my type..." He said with a devilish laugh...
"And out of your range too..." Janvi commented...
"Calm down your sassy bitch..." He replied to Janvi...
"How about you calm down your stinky rat ass..." She sneered...
"Good, very good... From having An innocent soul" pointing at Mrunali to pointing at Pihu and Janvi, " to Kick soul out of body type people in this house...."
"Full package of entertainment... No need for Netflix and chill..."
"You can take part in this drama, the role of the person whose soul is going to be kicked out of the universe..." Janvi fakely smiled at him...
"No need... I love watching drama... Especially mysterious drama..." At the end of his line, his eyes move from Pihu to Aahan with a glint of mischievousness, like he knows something dark and precious...
