*Sneha Pov*

Next day morning I woke up little early than the time I need to wake these kids as instructed by their parents.

I shook them a little and said “Wake up kids.”

Do you all remember our statement to that call by our moms ‘Five more minutes mom!’

I think these kids just got more smart and said “Ten more minutes Aunty.”

Actually they did wake up after ten minutes. I dropped my nephews inside the house and I carried Dolly and Fateh and as for Rakesh he walked with me to their houses.

When I knocked at their doors, all the Bhabhi’s like I call them gave me a small smile and took them.

After all the kids are dropped I returned to my room. In one hour all the guys along with kids are ready for the day.

When my brother was about to leave I went near him and said “Bye. Have a nice day Bhai.”

He nodded and left. I even told this to remaining all and they all just nodded.

But the kids they gave me a group hugs and left to go to their school.

Bhabhi placed an arm on my shoulder and said “It will be fine.”

I nodded and didn’t believe her because it has been the same from many years.

“After sometime come downstairs we will have breakfast.” She said.

“Ok.” I said going inside my room.

I got ready in few minutes and had my breakfast with Bhabhi. Later she started cleaning her house and I went inside my room again.

I opened our family photo album which I brought from my home and opened it. I saw the photos of me when I was a baby.

In all those pictures my brother held me closely and smiled to the camera. I still remember how he always says that he is my protector when I was a kid.

He never left me alone whenever he wants to play. That was until he got six friends in his life.

Even after that he was the same and made the remaining join his ‘Protect Sneha campaign’.

He made them as my body guards. Thinking about it I couldn’t help but laugh.

He appointed Samrat as my personal body guard. I still remember the day when Samrat became my prince.

*Flashback*

I went near my brother crying who is playing with his friends. Hearing my cries they all immediately stopped playing and came near me.

“Why are you crying neha?” Bhai asked.

“He… he took…my toy and… he… pushed me.” I replied between sobs.

“Who?” Samrat asked.

“My..classmate. I don’t…know… his name.” I said.

“Let’s go.” Bhai said taking my hand and we all went to that boy’s house.

“I will go and deal with him.” Bhai said glaring at that boy.

“No I will teach him a lesson.” Samrat said and went near that boy.

I just saw Samrat shouting at that boy and the boy immediately gave my toy to him. Later he pushed the boy and came near us with my toy.

The toy is actually a pony so he just looked like a prince coming with it.

When he reached me he bended and brushed my tears away and said “I will always protect you.”

“And we all too.” Bhai said.

I smiled at them and that was the happiest moment for me at that age.

I mean who gets some seven boys vowed to protect you at that small age but they did. I was like this luckiest girl.

It continued for two years. I didn’t disturb them when they ask to go away because they need to study or play the games which I can’t. But after that they all spend time with me.

Each and everyone have one sibling and they did the same to them. When they have entered 10th class which was told as very important one for them I maintained my distance because my parents told me.

That one year I was so lonely. I didn’t even have many friends because I got used to them and they became my comfort zone.

I too get myself busy in studying. When their exams are over I think I was happier than them and thought that we will be back to normal.

But I was totally wrong because they all got themselves completely detached from all of us and didn’t let me enter in their world, even the remaining siblings of the six boys.

*Flashback*

One day I went near them and cried saying “Did I do anything wrong? You are not playing or talking with me anymore.”

“You have done nothing wrong Sneha. We just have our own things to do and you are not suitable for that.” Bhai said irritated.

“You called me ‘Sneha’.” I shouted crying more.

“Just go away from here Sneha. I called you by your name only.” he shouted at me.

I was shocked by his shouting and between sobs I said “You.. Always call… me Neha.”

He was stilled by my reply and immediately started reaching near me but I went away from him and got inside my room.

Next day when I woke up, I saw all of them glaring at me standing inside my room.

“What happened?” I asked them confused.

“What happened!? Can’t you sit calmly at all? You actually complained to all of our parents that we are not spending time with you.” Imran shouted.

“I didn’t ..said..anything.” I said trembling.

“Don’t lie to us Sneha. Because of you we were told to not meet other every day.” Bhai shouted.

“She didn’t say anything to us. Don’t shout at her Nag.” Dad shouted at him.

We all turned to saw everyone’s parents standing there.

“We actually came here to take your punishment back because it is not our thing to do but you are shouting at that poor child.” Imran’s mother said looking at Imran.

“We told them.” We all heard few voices and saw their siblings standing there.

Bhai along with his friends turned towards me guiltily and left my room.

I was still crying and immediately my parents came near me hugged me tightly.

“They hate me.” I said between sobs.

“No they don’t. They will apologize to you.” Mom said.

“I just want them to talk with me.” I said.

“We know.” Dad said.

Later they normally talked to me but not like before. I was even happy with that completely.

Then the dreading day came when it all crashed down on me. They got some project work which they all are working seriously.

I stayed in my home because I was not feeling well then suddenly I got like I am going to fall.

So I went inside his room and said “Bhai I am not feeling well at all.”

“It is just normal sickness Sneha. Go and sleep.” Bhai said.

“But I couldn’t even walk properly. Please call Dad.” I said.

“For god sake Sneha. Look at my friends they all don’t start nagging me when they get sick. Why can’t you be like them?” He shouted.

After hearing that I got hurt but after that I don’t know what happened but I just throwed up there itself. Later I realized that I did it on their project work.

“I am so sorry.” I said placing hand on my mouth.

“Sorry? Look what have you done. We have to submit this tomorrow and you ruined it. Not only mine but also the work of them.” He shouted.

“I am sorry.” I said crying.

“Just go away.” He said pushing me and luckily Dad catch me who just entered and slapped Bhai. I don’t know what happened next because I just fainted.

Doctors said that I got some viral fever which causes my platelets to fall. I would have been in serious condition if they found out about that after few days.

After that incident they all distanced themselves from me even more. Except Samrat!

He always talked to me when they all were not there around us. When they joined some university in another state we all were sad and missed them so much.

But when they returned and we felt like we are meeting some strangers. I am not talking about me but about all their siblings.

My parents became my best friends when they distanced themselves. I never tried to talk to my Bhai after that incident. Just normal talks.

But when he returned I was so happy but he was not at all. I didn’t understand at that time but later my parents told me about some girl Amala who is his girlfriend. And they both want to get married.

So I understood the reason then. Everyone had brought their girlfriend except Samrat and I am actually happy about that point. Later all the boys got married and I enjoyed the celebrations.

Then after few months they left again to work on their dream. I felt same sadness like the first time.

I missed everyone. When they got success in the company Bhai asked our parents to come and stay with them.

But they didn’t because I just joined in my dream college and it is near to our present house. He got pissed and didn’t talk to even them for few days.

I was angry at him for doing this but my Mom said that “He just has that short temper dear. Don’t worry one day he will realize his mistakes.”

I actually believed her and visited them many times along with my parents. I understood that we can’t be same like we were way back but we can atleast talk right.

Everyone behaved normally except Bhai. I still don’t know why.

As for Samrat whenever I visit them he would treat me so good and that’s why I still didn’t forgot my crush on him like never.

Remembering all these incidents I can just tell one thing this is one hell of a confused breaking anyone did have.

I didn’t know that I was crying until Bhabhi asked reaching near me “What happened?”

“Nothing. Bhabhi can I ask you one thing?” I asked her.

“You can ask me anything.” she replied.

“Did Bhai talked about me anytime with you when you are staying here?” I asked her.

She suddenly looked at me but shook her head.

“Why does he hate me Bhabhi? What have I done?” I asked her.

“I don’t think he hate you Sneha. I saw him giving you longing look when you are not looking at him. He should be the one to know why he is behaving like this.” She said.

I nodded but I am still shocked about what Bhabhi just said.

“So Samrat ha?” she said teasing me.

“You know about that?” I asked her shocked.

“Ofcourse I know. So you like him?”

“I don’t know that if I like him or not. I just have this crush on him and didn’t meet a person who is better than him.” I replied shrugging.

She teased me for some more time. She totally knows how to change my mood.
