A little girl of about 5 years was staring at a person sleeping soundly on the bed. She then looked beside her to see two people or to be precise a man and a woman encouraging her to do something by showing their thumbs as a 'thumbs up' sign and assuring her with their eyes.

She again looked at the sleeping figure to her right, who was happening to be having whole world's sleep today itself. She shrugged her shoulders, cutely blinking her eyes and slowly pours a glass of cold water with ice on his face.

The two people who were standing by the bed hissed a little at first but then smirk appeared on their face imaging the drama coming up.

(Any guesses who both of them are?)

"Oh fuck!! Gosh, it's so cold." The person sat up with jerk busy yelling profanities when he heard the lady laughing her guts out and the man was smirking while the person who was drenched in cold water was giving deadly glare to both of them.

"Manik, Mukti, what the hell, have you both lost your brains? Who throws water on someone's face that too early morning of December." He shivered lightly due to the effect of ice, but his statement left Mukti enraged.

(Mukti Abhimanyu Malhotra, mafia member, and a sharpshooter. Married to Abhimanyu year ago.)

"Mr. Cabir Malhotra who spiked my and Manik's drink last night?"she asked with accusing tone and anger including.

(Cabir Malhotra. Gang member. Married to Navya and has a cute little daughter.)

She continued "Because of your stupidity I danced like a crazy person out there as if I saw club for the first time in my whole existence and don't even get me started with Manik."

Cabir just shrugged his shoulders and muttered under his breath "not my problem that you can't handle alcohol." But to his bad luck Manik heard everything and gave him a hard glare causing him to gulp his saliva and averted his gaze he knows better than too mess with 'The Azrail'

Asmita Cabir Malhotra a.k.a Mishti. Cabir and Navya's three-year-old daughter. Manik's only reason to be happy after his sister.

"And last but not least, it was your daughter who threw water on you!" Mukti said as a matter of fact tone, pointing her forefinger in the direction where a small cute girl was standing but she was nowhere to be seen. The three of them looked around for little miss devil and found her giggling watching something on her Mamu's phone.

(Today's generation I tell you faster than the cheetah in technology. Gosh!! I sound like a typical old fashioned mom, but this is what happens when you have a younger brother who has more knowledge than you in technology. Coming back to the story)

Looking at her demeanor, they guessed that she might be watching YouTube video, but the reason behind her uncontrollable giggle was a video on Cabir's official YouTube channel in which Mukti was dancing and Manik was talking to the pillar or to be precise was about to smooch the pillar, who he thought was his lady love.

5.....4....3...2..1 BOOM!!

"CABIR MALHOTRA!!!!" both Mukti and Manik yelled at the same time, causing all the family members to run towards Cabir's room.

"Fucking shit!" Cabir cursed under his breath knowing very well what is coming now!!

"WHAT HAPPENED?" they heard voices of their family members.

But before anyone could reply, they heard a voice startling them; they moved their attention to the little Mishti, who was curled up like a ball on the couch crying hysterically.

Navya, Cabir's wife and Mishti's mother went towards her and took her into her arms and started cajoling but all went in vain as she was nowhere ready to stop.

Navya Cabir Malhotra. Married him five years back. Homemaker and former gang member.

Hearing her cries getting loud more all the family members went near her and started cajoling her, making funny faces but nope, she still didn't stop crying.

At last, they heard a thick voice, asking them to move aside.

"Move aside, it's not your piece of thing," Manik said and made his way to Mishti who was already making grabby hands indicating Manik to take her and he gladly did. As soon as she came in Manik's arm she got all quiet and hid her face in the crook of his neck.

All sighed as well as shook their heads in disbelief! It was always Manik since the time she was born, whenever she cried, she always wanted Manik beside her, to pamper her or simply take her in his arms and cradle her.

"What happened to my baby?" Manik asked her in his soft voice which is only reserved for her Mishti baby

She sniffled a little and wipes her nose from the back of her hand making everyone go awe on her.

"You and bui both shouted and all them also shouted," pointed towards everyone present in the room

"I got scared, I thought you all are shouting on me and I did something bad," she said pouting at last.

Manik just chuckled at his version, why not just the genes are of CaVya other than that she has all the qualities including 'the Azaril' attitude all thanks to Mr. Manik Malhotra who always kept Mishti beside him from the time she was born, she was a little hope in his dark life, because none of them had the power to make Manik Malhotra smile other than his sister who was sent to Canada for her safety. It's been six years since Manik met his little buddle of joy!

Meher Malhotra, a girl with a rebellious attitude.You don't wanna come on her bad side because she doesn't care who the fuck you are except her bhai of course and will gift you with broken bones for the rest of your life for sure. Hacker by Profession.

Meher was the only one who could make Manik smile and laugh but after she was shifted to Canada giving the reason of further studies but she was really angry with him for sending her away from himself, that's the reason Meher never talked properly with Manik, just one-word answer. He was brought out by Meher's thought due to tap on his shoulder. He looked towards his baby pouting in his arms.

"Kya hua? Why thish tears? Are you misshing mehl (Meher) di?"

He never noticed that his eyes glistened with tears.

"I know you are missing her Manik, but it was for her safety" Deven Dixit (Manik's maternal cousin uncle) coaxed him.

Deven Dixit, former Head of Indian Mafia. He has a son and a wife who died in a car accident. He gave his throne to Manik because he thought no one is capable of handling his throne other than Manik. He always treated Manik as his son.

"Yes, Manik don't worry, once she gets to the truth, she will not live you even for a minute," Navya interjected having sympathy feeling for both brother and sister, while others were having gloomy look on their faces.

"You don't worry bhai, jitna usne apko tang kiya hai na usse jyada hum use tang karenge yaha aaneke baad." Vihan said with mischievous floating in his eyes already planning how to trouble the shit out of her.

Vihan Kohli. Gang member and an assassin. He and his brother works for Manik. He has feelings for Meher.

"Yup, absolutely true, dono behen bhai ne naukar bana ke rakh diya hai mujhe apna. Ek tho ek dusre se baat nahi karte, upar se ek dusre ke bare mei sab kuch janna hai.

(Both sisters have made me their servant. One, they don't talk with each other and on top of that, they have to know everything about each other!)

"Hey bhagwan, tere bacche pe kitna attyachar!" Evergreen dramatic Cabir Dhawan expressed his sad story and Vihan was giving 'I understand you, bro, wala expression' and all others were glaring at him and indicating Navya to give him piece of mind, which she did by hitting his forearm with belan (rolling pin), and our dear Manik was throwing daggers with his eyes.

Manik handed Mishti to Navya and marched towards Cabir who was trying to hide behind Mukti, who did no efforts to save him from the hulk.

Manik dragged Cabir from his ears, "care to explain about the video?"

Cabir replied with a sheepish afraid smile "It was Meher. She did this, I just sent her this video for fun, I didn't know she will upload it on my channel, and you know she is a hacker she can do anything!"

Manik controlled his anger and asked Cabir to delete the video with gritted teeth.

"What happened Manik, which video are you talking about?" Deven asked

"Pucking sheet (fucking shit) dadu you don't know anything," Mishti said with a sigh on her dadu's lack of knowledge

"Oops!! Cabir bhai app to gye" Vivan said giggling causing Cabir to glare at him but soon that glare turned into puppy eyes when Navya called him

"Cabir" Navya called in low threatening voice.

"Yes, baby!"

"Did you or Did you not curse again that too in front of Mishti"

"Baby I can explain! It was Mukti"

"Excuse me!" Mukti exclaimed, "where did I come from."

"From hell" Cabir and Vivan replied at the same time having them in fits of laughter.

But it stopped once both were hit with cushions, heels, and belan (rolling pin)

Manik was just admiring his family silently smiling and missing his baby sister who will leave no stone unturned to make his life hell when she comes back for making her stay away from him that too for six years.

He went in his sister's balcony admiring the garden view which his sister designed for herself. Admiring every type of flower she planted saying she wanted each every flower that exists in the world! Common Roses and Lilies to Primrose and Crinum Lilly.

She had the same choice as his mother's in everything. Meher was a replica of his mother. This is the reason he is more protective of her. He always had a pang of guilt inside him for not saving his mother from that devil but he has sworn on his mother's death bed to take care of his little sister till his last breath.

"Missing her?" he turned towards the source of voice only to see his Ansh bhai standing there.

Ansh Dixit. Son of Deven Dixit. He is also a Gang Member but also handles Dixit Industries. He was never jealous of Manik instead he has always been protective of him. He loves Manik to the core. For Manik he is always the father figure he never had in his life.

Manik gave a small smile to him

"Good morning bhai, when did you come? And how is work?"

"Just now, you were nowhere to be seen so and those idiots were fighting like lunatics so I thought you might be in Mehar's room and see you are here. And talking about work everything is done, we have kept Saha's son captive in our secret warehouse." he continued

"And now do not change the topic, what happened?"

Sighing, Manik knew there is no use to hiding his feeling to Ansh because he and Cabir can read him like an open book.

"I'm afraid bhai, what if she doesn't listen to me? What if she leaves me after knowing I'm in Mafia or to be precise Mafia head? She is the only blood relation I have. What if she misunderstands me again? I don't wanna lose her bhai."

Ansh exhaled a sigh "She is your sister Manik, she cannot stay angry on you, she is just hurt that you sent her away from yourself without even her consent." Manik was about to speak but Ansh continued

"She was a teenager at that time Manik and having a bitter childhood doesn't help her rebellious attitude, you were and always will be her parent, her mother, her father, her everything. It was not easy for you either, but you knew the real reason for sending her to Canada, but she.... she doesn't even know why she was sent there six years back, we gave a worthless reason of studying which could have done her staying with you. She is hurt because she thinks that her Bhai can't even trust her to tell the real reason."

"You know that's not the truth, I just want to protect her Bhai," Manik said in a hoarse voice.

"That we know Manik, she doesn't, she is coming back today and you know she will show you a lot of tantrums to talk to you, but I advise you to tell her the truth, it's better you tell her the truth than keeping on hurting her!"

Manik just nodded his head not believing his voice.

"Who went to pick her?" Ansh asked

"Aliya, Dhruv, Rehan and Sharanya, she doesn't want to see my face so she said anyone can come to pick her up except me."

Ansh gave small smile shaking his head in disbelieve

"Drama queen, I sometimes doubt she is your sister or Cabir's and you know that's not true, she loves you more than anything in this whole world."

Manik was about to reply when Aparna interrupted them,

Aparna Dixit. She is jealous of Manik (not literally) because according to her, her husband (Ansh Dixit) gives more time to Manik then her. Manik and Aparna share typical 'dewar bhabhi relation'. They always fight like insane people but in the end, they are best friends forever.

"Sautan ji," she said to Manik

"Appu Bhabhi please" Manik whined with a cute pout on his face

"Stop calling me that, F.Y.I I'm straight and I don't have any interest in your husband."

"Then you stop your bromance with my husband," she said in the accusing tone

Manik scowled, "I never do that"

"Really? That's why my husband spends most of the time with you right?"

"Every other wife has mobile as their romance enemy but in my life it's you," she said pointing her finger at Manik

"You just wait for your wife to come, then I'll show you how does it feel when your partner ignores you that too for some person of the SAME gender." She said with a huff coming extremely close to manik, causing him to move backward with the support of railing.

Manik just gulped seeing her bhabhi in 'Kali Ma's roop' and meekly called for his Bhai for saving him "Bhai please!" indicating with eyes to cool down Aparna, which he did much to Manik's relief.

Manik straightened up "Excuse me woman! MY wife will never ignore ME for someone, and about your problem, you can plan your second honeymoon whenever you want, I didn't stop you, it's YOUR husband who is workaholic and you are blaming me." he said with a huff.

"Really, we can take a month-long leave?" to which Manik nodded

"Oh! Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! Sautan Ji... I mean Manik you are so good."

Manik just gave her sarcastic smile and moved towards Ansh

"Your lady really have some severe mood disorder big bro,one minute she is angry and other minute she is happy. Are you sure she is okay?" Manik said in a low sympathetic voice

Ansh just gave him stinky eyes but Manik just shrugged his shoulders.

"What happened? What are you both talking about?" Aparna asked coming out of her dreamland or honeymoon land

"Nothing.... You needed something?"

"Oh! Shit I forgot, I came here to inform you that Meher is here and she is searching for you." She said the last line to Manik

"She asked for me?" Manik asked with little hope in his voice.

"Nope, but your sister is an open book, the moment she entered the house her eyes were searching for you. So Papa (Manik's uncle) sent me to call you." Aparna said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"We will go down, you come after freshening up okay?"

Manik nodded his head and moved towards the washroom, Aparna and Ansh went down to meet Meher.

"C'mon Manik beta prepare yourself to face the Satan"
