-BBB(Bhuvan Bhaiya ka Birthday)-

Ajey POV

Finally the shoot was done! And the interview too, fans went crazy, I looked around to see Iyana not anywhere.

"Deepak Bhaiya, Iyana ko dekha?" I asked Bhaiya he looked up from his phone.

"Yeah, 5 minutes ago, she was going that way" he said pointing at the exit, I nodded and made my way towards the exit.

I looked at the left and there was a guy standing, with Iyana in front of elevator, I walked upto them.

"Iyana?" I called her, she truned around her face was angry, but as soon as she saw me she smiled, as if she was never angry.

"Yes Ajey?" She asked.

"Umm...I was looking for you, and ...who is he?" I responded, I looked at the guy, he looked like...Iyana.

"Umm... He is no one!" She said looking at him.

"I am her brother! Is this the way you introduce your brother to someone Iyana? And who is he?" I asked, He was looking at me sceptically.

"Shut up! Ajey he is Isshan, and Mr. Isshan Oberoi he is Ajey Nagar, my boss" she said, I imagine myself calling Yash bandar, Mr. Yash Nagar... He will slap my head!

"You are pretty close with brother, to call him Mr. Oberoi" I said sarcastically.

"Non of your Business Ajey!" She almost yelled, main humesha galt time pai he kyu bolta hu.

"Wow! You look pretty close with your boss Iyana, to yell at him, I will make sure to have a file of his on my table today" he said, what? He is gonna investigate me?

"You don't have to meld in my life Mr. Oberoi" Iyana told him coldly.

"You can call me Isshan, or bhaiya, I am your big brother and I care for you, meet me in the penthouse suite today for the deal, dad would be there, you better not mess it, if you Don't come, remember one thing I have my ways sis" he said and walked in the elevator, elevator doors closed with him glaring at me!

Iyana put her hands in her hair and pulled them, "Ahh... Idiot!" She mumbled to herself.

"Just don't bang your head in wall now!" I told her, she looked up at me and glared, but there was a fear in here eyes.

"Why you came here?" She asked, "you have my phone... I wanted to call someone" I replied, I switched off my phone and given her before the final shoot.

"Yeah here it is" she said taking it out of her jeans pocket.

"That's yours" I said as it didn't unlocked with my face, "why the hell we have same phones?!" She said taking out mine and handing it to me.

"You got issues with family?" I asked, I should be minding my own business.

"A lot..." She mumbled, "I am here if you ever wanna talk... By the way, Bhuvan bhaiya invited you to his birthday party, but if you want you can help out you brother" I said, she looked up and just smiled.

"I'll try to be there, let's go back" she said, her voice held sadness, what must be wrong with her family? This question keep bothering me for the rest of the day, she wa closed off whole day.

Iyana's POV

I was simply going to my room, when I met the person that I wish to avoid so much that I will live on Mars of possible, my fucking bitch of a brother, this arrogant jerk!

"Iyana, you can't avoid me for life! I am your brother for god sake!" He said, I shot him a cold glare.

"I don't wish to talk to jerks!" I replied trying to move past him.

"It was 2 years ago we last met, it was 8 years ago when we last was happy, and it was never when we spoke properly! You are my younger sister, my only sister Iyana, what I have ever done to you! Why you hate me so much!" He said, why I hate him? I have 1000 reasons.

"I hate innocent idiots, with no brain, who is a golden boy, and parents pet! And you my very dearest jerk brother fits for all! You got the business now leave me the fuck alone!" I said, I can't breath in the same air as him!

"I never did anything to you Iyana, and listen up girl! Today me and dad are having a meeting with Arabic Investers for a new project launch in Dubai, you better be a little responsible child and attend it, because you know Arabic very well!" He said, dose he thinks of me as a translator?

"You have so much money get yourself a translator! I am not joining you or your dad!" I replied, I hate this guy, I hate dad, and I hate this business! And shut your brain before you call me a teenager! I have my reasons.

"Stop being a brat! And-

Before he can complete Ajey came...

(Rest you know)

I sighed and sat down on my bed, and curled up in a ball, wish I can get high right now! This is so frustrating.

"No Iyana! You can't go to that hell hole again!" I said to myself, as tears rolled down my eyes... I can't be a drug addict again! Should I show up at the meeting? ... it's just next to the room where Bhuvan is giving his birthday party, I can go there.

I sighed and got up, I walked in the washroom and threw water at my face, "Iyana, you can't forever run away!" I said to myself looking in the mirror, and started putting up the makeup.

I walked back in and wore the black dress, that ended up around ankles, with a slit till my mid thigh on left and had a sweetheart neckline, completing my look with gold hoop earrings, and did my hairs in a bun, I checked the time, it showed 09:15 PM, party starts at 10, and the meeting starts at 09:30, I picked up my purse and pit my phone in it, before texting Ajey I will be at party a little late.

I walked in the elevator, and pressed the 2 floor from top, this hotel is huge! In a few seconds it dinged open, I walked straight to the left, it's the penthouse suite, I pressed the bell of 027 the party is in the opposite one...I can still leave... My thoughts got interrupted with the door opening and my brother smiled.

"Thank god you came!" He said and ushered me in, I walked in to see the table set for eight, me, my dad, my idiot brother, the Investers, our advisors and advocates.

"I just came to save you guys again, can't do a thing without me" I said, well...this place is where I actually belong, but I would never admit, before my brother can come up with a good come back someone said from behind us, "of course, nobody can do this better than you, a born buisness woman my daughter" he said, and we truned around.

"Nope! Not interested in this dirty politics, will just help you out this ones..." I said, and he looked a bit disappointed but seated himself on the round table for eight, I sat between both of them, just then the door opened, two guys about 30-35 years old wearing traditional Arabic attires walked in followed by the 3 lawyers in suits, 1 of them I recognised as our business advisor he looked over me in shock, but covered up, we all stood up and greeted the , dad and Isshan gave them a formal hug, they shook hands with me.

"من هذه السيدة الجميلة السيد أوبيروي"

The guy asked still holding my hand, I smiled. ("Who's this Pretty lady Mr. Oberoi")

"مرحبًا ، شكرًا على الإطراء ، أنا إيانا أوبروي ، ابنة السيد أوبيروي"

(Hello, thanks for the compliment, I am Iyana Oberoi, daughter of Mr. Oberoi)

I introduced myself in Arabic, stressing over daughter, so he knew his boundaries, and that I am off limits.

The meeting went pleasent, I got to know Isshan and they had launching a cruise ship in Indian Ocean next year, and it's under last constructions and Shanvi is the project head, wow I didn't even realised my family had made business better ten times.

"Yeah! Using your skills at blackmailing, they sure made a huge difference" my subconscious reminded me, for once can I be positive?

My phone vibrated, I looked at the screen, Ajey's name flashed, the dinner was served but I haven't touched anything, I got up and excused myself, I walked to the washroom.

"Hello Ajey?" I spoke picking up the call.

"Hi Iyana, where are you? Your room is locked, And you aren't even at the party!" He said over loud music in background.

"I... I am with Isshan, I'll be there in a few minutes" I replied, for the first time honestly.

"Okay, I will be waiting, party have just started, so take your time" he said before hanging up.

I walked back, and saw them signing some papers, well my work here is done then, I picked up my purse from the chair.

"I'll get going dad, got important appointments, bye" I said.

"What's so important? You are leaving the meeting in between" he asked obviously not happy.

"She got party to attend dad, our meetings aren't important for her" Isshan said, he just needs a chance to show I am the bad one!

"Yup! That's more important, anyways Your advocate knows Arabic too, so I don't have much time here, bye, your son is enough to manage na" I said and looked at the Investers, they were looking at us, thank god we were whispering this conversation or else their side lawyers would have heard, I said bye to them and apologized for leaving suddenly.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, I looked at my clothes, then adjusted my dress a bit, and walked into the door next to me, flashing lights, Happy Birthday Bhuvan banner on the wall, balloons hanging on the ceiling, everyone mingling around, talking, eating and drinking., When was the last time I was on a birthday party?

I walked in and saw Bhuvan with Ashish, Prajakta Koli and Technical Guruji, I walked upto him and smiled.

"Happy Birthday Bhuvan sir, thanks for inviting me" I said with a smile giving him a small hug.

"Thanks for coming, Finally you are here, we thought you weren't coming, Ajey told me a few minutes ago that you had a meeting" he said, so I have been keeping people waiting... That's not a new thing.

"So sorry for keeping all of you waiting, wase Ajey kaha hai?" I asked.

"I am here, thank god finally you are here, I was so worried Iyana! At least you could have dropped me a text!" He said appearing for behind, with a glass of juice in his hands, such a drama queen.

"Inti fikar, Ajey such bata, Iyana teri girlfriend hai na!" Prajakta said.

"Not in this life time" I replied, and Ajey looked away.

"Ha bas ase he deny karte raho, tabhi to bat aggye badhegi" Ashish said and everyone laughed.

After a few minutes of talking with everyone Bhuvan cut the cake, and everyone again was dancing and enjoying, I found myself by sitting by the bar and sipping a strong scotch, I am pretty sure I am gonna get drunk on the rate I am drinking, this is already my third drink.

"You are sad Iyana" someone sat infront of me, it was Ajey.

"Nope, I am enjoying myself" I replied taking a sip from my drink.

"Your eyes says otherwise" he spoke again, I kept my glass down.

"When are you gonna stop reading my eye dude!" I said back, and he laughed and said the words that comforted me most at this moment.

"You hide alot Iyana.. that's all I can do to know the truth, you can trust me"
