Ayush's POV

"Enough!" Vidhya looked at me trying to throw away the bottle in my hand.

But I held it tightly escaping her hand.

"How much will you drink and for God sake you are a responsible police officer not a lovesick teenager."She shouted at me.

"Just two tins Vidhya, and I didn't do anything." I looked at my sister who is standing in front of me with a pale face.

"Ayush, Listen!" She asked for my attention.

"What?" I kept the bottle aside and looked at her sighing, asking her to sit in front of me.

"Why are you looking sad? Because I scolded you for sending the selfie?"

"You know you did wrong by capturing a picture like that and sending it to me."

"You are not a kid Bhaiyya, you are a responsible police officer." She taunted me.

"I sent you a simple clean selfie letting you know that I am trying my best to capture her love, I wanted you to know that she is with me in my room and it's like a dream come true."

"Yes, I know it's so absurd for me to behave such but I love her Vidhya."

"Without this dress, I am a human and you are my best friend, I can share anything with you," I said looking into her eyes.

"Yeah, but...." She slumped her shoulders and looking at me with a pale face.

"Now tell me what did she say?"

"Why did she call you at this night time?" She asked me smiling.

"What should I say now?"

"Should I say that Riya scolded me for telling Diya that I am with her last night and saved her from having a panic attack?"I looked at her in utter disbelief.

"What?"She almost screamed crouching her brows.

"Yes, She said the same dear, she thinks I am the one who told her darling sister Diya every f*cking single detail ."

Vidhya kept a pale face and looked at me with a wary face.

"Don't ask if it was me" I kept a hurtful expression and her face fell in the very next second.

"I took a selfie and send it to my sister anticipating that she would talk about it with my love interest."

"But what just happened?" I chuckled.

"You know she said she is hurt as her father called us lovers."

"You know Ms. Riya is so hurt because her father wants her to marry Mr.Ayush." I said gritting my teeth.

Vidhya is glaring at me with a sullen face.

"Come on Vidhya stop glaring at me, Why does she fail to see my love."

"If Diya hasn't interfered and told about me she would definitely say yes to Peeyush, you know," I muttered.

"You are impossible Ayush, you are supporting Diya, That girl who hates Riya to the core? unbelievable."

"I thought my brother is a good guy and different but you proved you are not less than a lame guy who is after a girl in the name of love." She shrieked.

"Vidhya.." I looked at her with a frown.

"Diya is the one who chose Peeyush for Riya, don't forget that." She scowled.

"Yes, but Riya didn't stand up for herself."

"I know I know she is in pain but she has to stand for herself. She has to."

"She always looks for others to help her. This is the only habit I hate in her " I sat pursing my lips.

"Oh my god! Is that the reason you are angry with her."

"Don't you forget how mature she is? How elegantly she tackles all the relationships?"

"I know what's your problem exactly?"

"You are hurt because she didn't choose you." She said as a matter of fact.

"Yes" I mumbled and looked away.

We didn't speak for a while but she is looking at me without blinking her eyes.

Her gaze is so intense and I can't take the blame anymore.

"Sorry Vidhya," I said gazing here and there.

"Sorry too Bhiaya." She came and sat beside me holding my arm.

I gently ruffled her hair and she lifted her head to catch a glimpse of my face.

"I can see all your love on her in those dark black orbs."She whispered.

"I love you and mom more than anyone in this world, you two are enough for me," I mumbled trying to smile at my sister.

"Really? You want me to believe it?"She asked me raising her brow.

"She has rejected me a number of times still I am fine and settle."

"I became a police officer got my own stature and prominence"

"Isn't all this because of these two prominent ladies in my life?" I said pinching her cheeks.

"Oh that's so good" She wiped her tears and frowned.

"But she is the only one who can balance you, who can calm you down."

"We are there and we will be there but she is special." She smiled.

"You are such a sweetheart." I complimented her and she laughed richly.

"But why does she think you are behind this conspiracy? If it's not you then who will tell Diya about every move of you with her.?"She asked after a second.

"Peeyush, it's Peeyush, "I answered

"Maybe Peeyush but I am hurt because Riya misunderstands me, my intentions."

"Maybe he wants to reach me through Diya?"

"I don't know the exact reason but he is after me and Riya," I said slowly to make her believe my words

"and this is the toughest case in my service, "I said rubbing my nape.

" I believe my brother"She smiled brightly.

"I want to tell you one thing, that I can't stop myself from letting you know, "I whispered

"My suspicion is Peeyush is highly involved in Arjun's death." I lifted my head and looked at her.

She shook her head in disbelief

And I nodded in response.........
