Shivaay's pov

Laying on the roof of the car and gazing at the night view of the sky was one of my favorite hobby.

Well... As every other day, it's my corner cliff, who is giving me company. I took a deep drag from my cigarette and focused at how the smoke swirled out and mixed with the air.

My gaze turned towards the sky.

Today the sky looked different.

The pitch dark sky twinkled along with its shining stars, as if feeling each other in their embrace.

I admired the darkness of the sky, more than the bright daylight. Because darkness always helps you to hide everything that you don't need to let out.

But now, I'm not in a mood nor I'm able to feel the silence that my secret keeper was giving me.

Red.. Red.. Red..!

That's the only thing I felt around me. Why the hell she have to keep poking her nose at my behavior.

Why the hell is she adamant in earning my wrath?

I almost choked her today. Why the hell did I react like that?

Wait.. Why am I even feeling bad for that girl.?

Who is she.! ? No one. Then why.?

' Are you sure, she is no one? '

Shut up and fuck off.

When I'm saying it's no one. It's no one.! Do you get that. No one.

' As you say. '

" How dare you to point fingers on my character. What you know about me Huh? You think that I walk around only to spread my legs for some fuckers ? That's not my character, nor did my parents teached me that kind of behavior. You are a fucking asshole who can't keep getting inside others pants. Such a pervert and womanizer you are... You know what.. You son of a bi..."

Ugh.. Those words are too sharp. Why is it stuck in my mind. Just.. Just go.!

"You know what.. You son of a bi..."

Arghhhh..! Stop. That word. How dare she to even take that word for my mam-

No.. Mrs. Hooda.

Yeah... My Ppa loves her so much. My Shona and Shri loves her.

Yes.. That's why I'm not able tolerate such words for her. They will be hurt, if they have heard it. And I won't allow it at any cost.

Umm.. Everyone might be thinking where that Wildrose is.?

' Wildrose.!? Yeah.. With a black mole just above her lip. '

Don't know why, but her rose fragrance makes my mind go numb.

' And her wild nature makes your blood boil, right.? '

Zip up your mouth and get lost.

' That's not gonna happen. I can't shut up until you sleep. '

Dramatic ass.!

Well, about that Wildrose..I just dropped her off.

Don't ask for any explanation. I hate it, when someone asks me for a fucking explanation.

' Oh really.. Then few hours back you where the one who was explaining to the same Wildrose how ethical of a playboy you are. And now you can't answer their questions.? Such an attitude dickhead you are. '

That wasn't any explanations okay. That was.. That was just.. Leave it. I need to head back. Everyone must be worried.

Jumping down to the ground, I walked up-to the end of the cliff, from where I can see the bluish green ocean. It was also calm just like the night was. I closed my eyes briefly feeling the cool breeze that caressed my face calming my pouncing nerves.

Author's pov

" DAMMIT.!.. This guy is not even bothered about picking up my calls. " Shravan almost yelled in frustration and as well as concern lasing in his voice.

The whole Hooda mansion is impatiently waiting for Shivaay to return. And everyone except, Sidharth, Abhishek and Faisu, who is currently in a business meeting in the office room, was really surprised about the way Shravan was acting. For everyone he is the one who keeps them in track by assuring that ' Everything is fine. '

But here, he himself was scared, frustrated or concerned. But the point is.. For whom.?

His brother.?

Or..

Amaya.?

" Zane, why are you sitting like that? At least try to contact him. " Shravan spatted at Zane who was sitting on top of the couch and munching on his chips.

" Huh! That's what you are doing right? You are his sweet brother. If he is not picking your calls, then how will he pick mine?

And, What you think I am, his girlfriend or wife, so that he will pick my calls out of concern.?

Then let me tell you Shri , he don't even give a fuck to anyone or anything that happens around him.

In that case.. Wife and girlfriend is an out of league in his case. " he scoffed and continued stuffing his mouth with chips.

" You.. Idiot. " Shravan just threw a cushion straight on his face, causing him to fall down on the ground hitting his bump.

" Owww.. My bump.. Haww.. My chips.! " Zane whinced rubbing his bump and looking at his scattered chips on the floor.

" Why the fuck was that for? " he scowled at Shravan.

" For your licenceless mouth. " Anju who was sitting by his side slapped on his head and scoffed at him sarcastically.

" You all are so annoying. " Zane said boringly, and sat down crossing his legs, focused on eating the chips that where scattered around him.

" Eww.. Zane don't eat that shit from the floor. You will end up sick. " Shanaya said making a disgusting face.

" First of all.. This isn't Shit.! It's chips. "He said pointing his fingers at chips.

" And secound, you don't know how pure our floor is. Daadi always sprinkles holy water allover the house. So our house is clean and pure just like a virgin girl. " he said with a satisfied smile and started picking the chips.

" WHAT...! Virgin girl.!? " Jannat almost screamed at him, whereas all others looked at him in utter shock and disbelief.

" You just compared our house with the virginity of a girl? Seriously Zane? " Vaishnavi asked him in complete shock.

" Yeah.. Don't you think that virgin girls are really innocent and pure? Well, our ticking time bomb always says that. " Zane pointed out.

" Ticking time bomb.!? what's that supposed to mean.? " Shanaya asked looking at Amaal and Anjala who gave her a confused look same as hers.

" Holy Moly fuck.! " He gasped out and turned to face the three of them with big eyes and disbelief look on his face.

" What.? " They three asked in unison.

" What you mean by what!? Come on di.. How did you and aappa (sister) became doctors? And how did Anju di became a fashion designer? Without commonsense how..? " he said and sighed in disappointment.

Well.. Too dramatic. Huh.

" What's the connection between our carriers and the nonsense you are blurting out? " Amaal asked as she raised her eyebrow at her little brother.

" Huh.! There's a point. You are not able to figure out about the ticking time bomb. " he said throwing his hands around.

" Just cut the crap Zane. " Shravan groaned in annoyance.

" I'm stating the facts. I'm talking about the same person around whom we walk as if we are walking on eggshells. The same person around whom we talks as if we are talking to some wall. The same person, whom we all are cautious about pulling any wrong string. And the same person who makes the whole house upside down when he explodes. Non other than - "

" Fai.. " Zane's blabbering was cut off by Shravan.

" Correct.! Thank God at least you have some commonsense. I'm proud of you my sweet little prince. " Zane said and hugged Shri with a huge smile.

But he noticed the sudden silence that filled the room.

" Why so silent? And why all your faces looks like you have seen some wolf or something. " Zane asked with a confused face.

" Ya Allah....Shut your mouth you dumbass. Fai is here. " Amaal hissed at her brother, making him shriek back.

" Thank God you are finally back. How's Amaya? "

Shri said as he moved past a confused Zane , only to be turned into a shocked one, when he got his senses back, which were out for a date with a bimbo.

" Uh-oh..Seems like tycoon is here. " Zane mumbled and turned around only to see, Shivaay standing at the doorway in his whole glory.

But now he had a red sleeveless hoodie on him. Hair messed up, but still he managed to look hot. Running his hand lazily through his already messed up hair, he looked straight into Shravan's eyes, which held concern as well as frustration. One hand stuffed into the pocket of his hoodie and the other one holding the cancer stick inbetween his finger tips. Taking few immediate puffs from his cigarette he walked in casually.

" Fai, I'm asking you something. Tell me. It's been hours you have gone from here along with Amaya. Did you drop her home safely.? Is she fine.? " Shravan shotted him back to back questions, impatiently.

Shivaay just kept staring at him warily. As if studying his face.

" Fai.. " Shravan held him by his shoulders as if trying to gain his attention.

Shivaay let out a bitter laugh, taking a drag from his cigarette and swirling it out, making Shri to cringe and let out a cough.

" Fuck.! " He muttered waving of the smoke.

" Too much concern for a friend.? Really Shri.? " Shivaay asked as he crocked his eyebrows at him.

" Fai I'm - "

" Shivaay..!"

Shravan was cut off by a deep voice which boomed through the hall. Everyone's eyes snapped at the deep voice, only to see Siddharth standing on the stairs along with Faisu and Abhi behind him.

" Papa, see, finally this boy is here. You yourself ask him about his ridiculous act. " Shravan said to Sidharth not before giving a pointed look at Shivaay.

Sidharth held his gaze at Shravan for a while before moving it on to Shivaay who took a deep puff from his cigarette.

" What did I tell about smoking ,you young man.? " Sidharth asked in his deep voice, keeping his gaze straight on his younger son's face.

" That was the last puff. " Shivaay said breathing out the smoke in rings.

" I don't care whether it's the first or last puff. Throw it out and come. " Sidharth said strictly as he descended the stairs.

Shivaay stared at his father for a while and sighing he wordlessly went out and threw the burned out ash stick. Shivaay walked in softly racking his hands through the thick raven black hair.

" Shivaay, I never stopped you, or, any of my children from smoking or drinking, except the drugs. I never interfered inbetween your enjoyment. You all are young, and it's your time to enjoy your life and live it. But, there should be a limit in everything. I have given full freedom to each of you. Didn't I.? " He asked and looked at each of them, who immediately nodded their heads.

Except Shivaay.

" Didn't I Fai.? " Sidharth pressed his words at Shivaay.

" Yeah..! " He too nodded and looked away.

" And we very well know that, who all smokes and drinks in this family. So don't try to fool anyone of us. " Abhi said giving a knowing look at Zane, who immediately looked down pinching his eyes closed.

" Fai, I know you have a habit of smoking when you are stressed. And I am pretty impressed that you didn't give it from anyone. But the only thing I have asked you for is, don't smoke walking around inside the house. If you wanna smoke, go out, or your balcony, or at the terrace. Is that clear? " Sidharth asked as he looked straight into Shivaay's eyes, which was just mirroring his own.

" I feels like banging that idiots head on the wall. What kind of fathers are they. Instead of stopping them from such habits, he is giving advice on where he should smoke. Seriously.? " Jannat who was standing along with vaishu muttered under her breath.

But Vaishnavi heard it very clearly.

" Both father and son have the same habits and nature. That's the problem here. " Vaishu said shaking her head in disbelief.

" Is. That. Clear.? " Sidharth said each word firmly making Shri to sigh in defeat and nod his head.

" Yeah.. Clear. "

" Good for you, as well as others. " Sidharth said nodding his head in satisfaction.

" God..! Papa, now the matter here is not about smoking. Stop this awareness class and ask him about Amaya. " Shravan almost yelled and stood in between both of them.

" Shri just stop overreacting. That girl isn't dead. " Shivaay said timidly on annoyance.

" What you mean by isn't dead and all. She is fine, right? " Shri again asked, concern lasing from his tone itself.

" Come on dude. You are acting as if I am a threat to her or something. " Shivaay asked him as his eyes flickered with amusement.

" Why shouldn't I.? You almost choked her out of anger , before taking her from here. You almost killed her. What's the guarantee that you won't try anything like that again, saying that it was out of anger. " Shravan yelled at him not caring the surroundings or what his words can do to others.

" Shravan.! Think before you use the words for others. " Sidharth hard voice snapped everyone.

Shravan seems, as if he snapped out of something and that's when the realization hit him hard. His gaze fell on Shivaay, whose face was blank and hard. He felt ashamed of using such words for his little brother. Shravan reached out for Shivaay, but he took a step back making Shravan to halt.

" Fai,You are taking it wrong. I didn't - "

" Yeah.. You are right. Who knows that I might kill her out of anger. So keep her, as well as yourself away from me. I can't give you any guarantee that I won't hurt you. Just because you are me brother. " Shivaay said flatly and walked towards the stairs only to bump into his shona.

" Shona move. " he said hardly.

" No.. You are taking him wrong. You know he didn't mean any of that he said. " Shanaya said as she wrapped her fingers around his wrist.

" I said move Shanaya. " Shanaya abruptly moved away as she heard him calling her by her full name.

Tears brimmed in her eyes as she saw him storm through the corridor towards his room. Stepping in his room he slammed the door shut making Shanaya and almost everyone flinch at the intensity of the sound.

" Are you fucking out of your mind Shri.? Do you even have any idea what all nonsense you just sprouted. Fuck.! " Zane scowled at Shravan rubbing a hand through his face.

Shravan's gaze fell on his sister who's was still looking at the direction where Shivaay walked out.

" Di.. " He called out in a mere whisper.

" You went a little bit overboard. You do know him better than anyone. How his nature is and how bluntly he acts. " Shanaya said without taking her eyes away from the closed door.

" I'm sorry. " Shravan whispered as guilt filled his eyes.

" Shri, it's not me who deserves the apology. It's Fai. " Shanaya said giving him a weak smile as she gently stroked his cheeks with her thumbs.

" Sought it out Shri. These types of little fights shouldn't last long. The more you drag, the more it will become difficult. " Sidharth said to his son and patted his shoulder assuring him that everything will be alright.

" I really did fucked up everything. Didn't I.? " Shri asked looking at everyone who gave him a weak smile in response.

" Mumma.. Please help your Shri. " Shri thought in his mind, but didn't voiced it out. Without another word, he made a beeline to Shivaay's room.

Three hearts have been crashed and connected unknowingly. One for good, and another one for...?

Still unknown.!
