"I told you Dad, do not underestimate that bastard" angry and frustrated Harshil said.

"I was wrong in considering him as human. I thought that monster is done with Surbhi but no. He isn't done. God knows what he is doing with my daughter ." Jignesh regret his decision of loose security. Its just small  family function. He neither have some obsessive haters nor crazy fans. He is a businessman doing his own business. Who is there to hurt them? He didn't have idea that past of her daughter came back to haunt them.

" I wish I turned back few pages of life and tore his part from Di's life. We were so happy before his entry." Harshil recalled the good old times.

He knocked continously  on the door of Surbhi to wake her from her sleep. After ten minutes, he knew she must be awake. He can predict the order of events. First She  will half heartily removed her duvate. Than she will wore her slippers and then bang. As he guessed she opened the door. Its an advantage of growing up together. You became aware of habits of each other.

Harshil was standing there with his usual smile . That smile Surbhi knew it he is here for something and today she decided she is not going to do anything for him. He can't lure her today. She closed the door but alas Harshil's feet in door way stopped it.

"Di bhootni lag rahi hai tu" (You are looking like ghost) He laughed.

"Really, then you are looking ghost rider. Go away. "She snapped.

" As I am ghost rider I ordered you. Ghost go and prepare Meggi for me."

"Look Harshil its already 2 am, go get some sleep because I am not going to make Meggy for you. "Surbhi declared

" Di please please  make it na, I am so hungry. Look at me how thin I am. My stomach is churning. Won't you feed your hungry brother? If Sudhakar da was awake I called him and he won't deny. Mom is also not at home." Harshil said with puppy face tries to bargain the deal .

He knew it. This trick always works but today Surbhi doesn't budge. She stays as such, folding her hand at her chest. Her stern feature doesn't melt down an ounce. He starts moving towards his room. " I have to sleep with empty stomach today" he said.

"Fine, I am cooking it for one last time" her voice stopped him.

"You know you are the best di in the world " Harshil hugged her tightly.

" Who was ghost few minutes ago."Surbhi raised her eyebrows.

"You are still a ghost. Look at your hairs it  looks like bird's  nest and your dark  black eyes is enough to scare anyone but don't worry I am here to help you. I have an advice for you, come here. "

Surbhi hesitates to move towards him as she knew he is a prankster and she is victim of his many pranks.

" Oh come on di you are fearing like I have a bomb in my hand" he showed his hand in surrender.

"come here" He said to bring her closer but when he notice no progress he moved closer to her ear.

"Di you have to wake up before your husband  otherwise he will runaway on first day itself"   he laughed loudly and ran towards kitchen.

"Harshil stop " Surbhi shouts while following him.

" Harshil I'll kill  you today. You blabbers alot nowadays. You are crossing the line and insulting me"He first slides  on the railing of stairs which Surbhi can't so she takes stairs and after corridor they are in living room.

" Catch me di if you can "Harshil said standing innocently near sofa. She moved furiously towards him and

" Ahhh"scream came from her mouth. Something pricked in her skin. She looks at her feet. There is a rat cage. Her feet stuck in rat cage and its paining badly. She bends and sits on the floor to remove it. Harshil was laughing loudly clutching his stomach.

"You.." Her eyes were shooting daggers to him. He is making fun of her at 2 am in absence of Mummy papa. It would be good if she didn't awake.

"Tsk tsk my poor di who claimed to kill me but killed by rat cage. how sad" he mocked and laughed again. He forward his hand towards her and she pulled him to floor. She punches him on stomach.

"Ahh di its hurting. "He winced

" Its good for you baby brother " She pinched his cheeks.

" Hey anybody please help .Help . This elder sister is hitting her brother somebody help. There is crime happening in this house." he shouted and Surbhi closed his mouth by her hand.

"Stop your drama, come lets eat Maggi as I am hungry too. "She pulled him. She ordered him to bring vessels from shelf for cooking.

" Finally I did it "Surbhi wiped sweat from her forehead.

" Seriously Di. "Harshil raised his eyebrows. She pretends that she cooked it but technically Harshil did everything. He boiled water  put noodles in it and then add spices. Surbhi was  just instructing him.
