Arjun's P.O.V.

It's been a days, when we all get closer to each other.

It feels nice to back with my other twins. The emptiness, I always felt inside my heart was gone now. I love my Siblings so much. And I can do anything for them. And I am really happy that they both are also feeling comfortable with us. I can tell that Aarav is also happy. Well, Aarav is super overprotective of Ari now. Not gonna lie, me too.

Mom and Dad they went to Russia, at that night only, without saying Sorry to Ari. This makes Aryan hella angry on Dad, but Ari calm him.

About Ari, I noticed something different in her behaviour recently-

I came out of my trance because of smack landing on my back of head. I sighed.

"Good morning to you too, dear brother" I said to him.

He rolled his eyes and replied and sat on a couch with a mobile in his hands.

"Oh come on, I am elder than you, show some respect" I told him offended.

"We are twins" Aryan said again rolling his eyes.

"Still, I am four minutes older than you" I said him with my smug smile.

"Yeah, yeah whatever" He replied sarcastically and with his eyes still on his phone.

Before I could reply anything another smack landed on my head again.

I groaned.

"Ok, I got it. Only my sister loves me" I said and pouted.

"Saying of Sister, where is she ?" Aarav asked.

"She is sleeping" Aryan replied and sighed.

"What ? Till now ? Is she ok ? Wait let me-" I cuts off by Aarav.

"She must be tired" Aarav said.

"Hmm, probably" I said.

But I can see Aryan is deeply in some thoughts.

I was going to ask him but a light foot steps caught our attention.

"Hii Guys" Ari said hoping down the stairs.

She was in her oversized hoodie, but I think that hoodie belongs to Aryan. Ohh- Now, Aryan will never get that back. But this is not a matter here.

The matter is how tired she is looking.

She has glasses, Dark circles are under her eyes.

We all looked at her and she hugged us one by one.

“Good morning, Aunty" She said smiling. But that smile didn't reach her eyes.

Aunty replied back smiling to her.

“We thought you are sleeping" Aarav said to her.

“Oh yeah, I was. But now, I woke up" She said smiling.

“When did you slept last night ?" I asked her, sternly.

“Umm, I-I" She cuts off by Mary, who brings our breakfast.

“Aww, Thank you, Aunty. I was really hungry" She said and started munching her food.

The whole time I noticed, Aryan is just looking at her. And she is avoiding his stare.

What is going on between them ?

We all started eating and talking about random things.

“Ok, I am full. I am going" She said taking her dishes in Kitchen.

We all looked at each other.

And sighed.

What is she doing ?

# After some Days

It's been a days Ari is not taking care of herself. She is doing only one thing whole day.

‘Studying'

From whole day, I really mean it.

Studying whole day and night, didn't give attention to food, nor sleep. Nothing. Not at all.

As our Exams are coming, So we have school holidays for our exams preparation.

And I am here infront of her room with her food.

Her doors are open. I go inside of her room to see, She is studying. She is so engrossed in studies that she didn't notice me coming.

“Ari, you should eat, now" She flinched at sudden voice. Then relaxed when she noticed that I was there.

“Uh oh. I will eat it later, Arj. Btw, Thank you" She said smiling to me.

She is looking so tired.

I pulled her forcefully and made her sit on a bed. She whinned. But I could care less.

“Eat" I said to her sternly.

“But-"

“Or Should I force feed you ?" I asked her, already knowing answer.

“Ok, ok chill. I am eating. See" she pouted and started eating.

Time Skip (After eating)

“Why don't you take Little rest ?" I asked her softly.

“I will surely take, but later." She told me.

She stare at me for a second then sighed. She took my hands.

“Arj, I am Ok. Don't worry" She reassured me softly and calmly.

I nodded unconvinced but she hugged me suddenly. I sighed and hugged her back.

I came out of her room after pulling from hug and looked back only to see, she again sat on her study table.

I sighed and left her room.

Is she always study this much before exams ?

I go towards living room and saw Aarav on phone.

“Ari is still studying" He asked but more like stated.

“Hmm" I hummed.

He sighed.

We both sat in comfortable silence.

Time Skip (Midnight)

Aarav's  P.O.V.

I woke up feeling thirsty.

I came to kitchen and drank water.

I was going to my room but lights which were ON in Ari's room took my attention.

What is she doing, till now ?

I go towards her room and entered in her room without knocking and saw she was sleeping on her chair, keeping her head on the books which are on the desk.

I sighed.

I looked at her and smiled a little and stroked her hair.

You are so innocent.

I glanced at her bed which is full of books.

I sighed and started closing her books from her bed and cleaned it.

I go towards Ari and take out her glasses which is in her hand. I picked her up in bridal style and lay her on her bed. She stirred in her sleep and wakes up.

“sshh, sleep sleep" I softly said to her stroking her hair.

“I want to study" She muttered in her sleep.

“Study later. Now sleep" I said to her caressing her hair.

“B-beat m-" She muttered something but I couldn't make it.

“sshhh, sleep, sshh sleep" I said to her softly.

She slept.

I covered her with blanket and kissed her forehead and OFF the light and left the room.

Time Skip ( Some days left for exams )

Ariel's  P.O.V.

Why this is so hard ?

I struck between one sum. This is so difficult.

Ughhh

Question is : Find Discriminant of 3x² - 4✓3x + 4 = 0.

I was so busy in thinking about answer that I didn't notice someone is watching me.

I scratched my hair in confusion and frustration. But still, I am unable to find this answer.

Arjun's  P.O.V.

I stand outside of her room and watching her struggling with her sums, I guess.

She looks so tired.

She didn't sleep at all.

How did I know ?

‘Well, I woke up in midnight to check up on her and saw she was busy in laptop for some questions. I told her to sleep but she denied and told me, she will sleep later'

And in morning too, I found her studying. Looking at her eyes, anyone could tell, she didn't sleep at all.

I sighed and go towards her.

“Come here" I said softly.

“What ? Oh Arj. I didn't noticed you" She said.

“I know that" I said to her and started removing her fingers from her hair, which she is pulling in frustration. And started caressing her hair.

“Ok, now look at me." She looked me.

“Relax sis. You will get best marks in exams. You should take care of your health."

“But, Exams are important, Arj. What if I will make disappoint everyone in me and-" I cuts her off in mid sentence.

This is me when first time, Dad beat me for less marks in exams. I also want to make him proud. So, I also studied day and night.

‘I was so innocent at that time'

She is thinking that only.

I sighed.

“You will never disappoint anyone and I mean it" I said to her and she looked at me searching for any lie.

She sighed and nodded.

“But, still I want to study" She pleaded to me.

I again sighed.

Why we are sighing so much ?

‘Not a time'

“Ok, then let me tell you answer of this sum"

“Ok" she grinned.

“Formula of Discriminant is b² - 4ac, right ?" She nodded.

“So, here a = 3, b = -4✓3 , c = 4, So-" She cuts my sentence in half.

“So, Discriminant is 0" She said excitedly.

“Exactly" I replied her smiling.

“This was so easy. Thank you so much, Bubby" She answered me hugging.

I chuckled and hug her back.

I leave her room.

When I came outside, I saw Aarav and Aryan outside.

“What is happening to her ?" Aarav asked Aryan.

“I know she wants good grades but isn't this too much" I told Aryan.

“What are you hiding from us ?" Aarav again asked.

While Aryan looked like he has debating whether to tell or not.

He sighed.

“She is TRAUMATIZED"
