Above is an idea of how Zeeshan may look like. 😁😁

" Rule 1 of life # Do what makes you happy and just continue to do it without caring about others. "

Zeeshan's P. O. V.

" I.... I like you Zeeshan. " Suzy said. She was stammering and shifting on her toes and was looking down on the floor.

I chuckled as now I had become quite accustomed to this.
" I know right? Everyone likes me. Heck, I was made to be liked." I worded my greatness.

She stiffened. Suddenly finding the floor at which she was staring a second ago, uninteresting, she stared up at me with embarrassment etched on her cheeks.
" No Zeeshan. I like you... As in a lot. As in romantically. " she tried to explain. It seemed as if she had rehersed it several times before.

" Look Suzy... "

She gaped in disbelief, " My name is Maya."

Whatever, as if I care.

" Look S... Maya. I appreciate your emotions but I prefer cookies over relationships. Hope you get it. Have a great weekend. "

I wink at Maya and walk out of the classroom and as I walk all the girls stare at me and all the boys  watch me. Ah! not their fault. My looks are to die for. I paid attention to none of them although I love to get attention which undoubtedly I was getting because no-one resists me. I am Zeeshan Tirupati.

As I was walking, I saw a nerdy girl wave at me. I don't talk to the nerdies but wait, I know her! Apeksha?

Please, just look at her. She totally looks like her nerd friends. She is basically beautiful but she chooses to remain like this. How the hell are we supposed to be siblings?

I walked clumsily towards her. What if someone sees me standing and talking to her not-so-cool types scholar, DUFF friends. God, my reputation is at stake. I did not even notice the girl standing beside her and why would I? I don't even know her name but then as in now, when I was litteraly crawling towards my sister's direction
I thought about cancelling my plan 'A' which was not to notice Apeksha's friend.

Okay so 'she' was decently dressed, was wearing black rimmed spectacles, had not put any makeup, had shoulder lengh black hair which were neatlely plaited and then she looked up. Oh man! her EYES. Her green eyes, visible even through her thick lensed specs. As green as luscious grass, as mysterious as dark forests.

" Yes, what is it Apeksha? " I asked

My sister rolled her eyes and said, " Zeeshan, tomorrow Rehan and Ruhi will be going to our home with us to attend the special lunch. "

And with those words a thunderbolt hit me. Just kidding.

Rehan, I never liked him. Why? Well, why humans, why do you want a reason for every thing? It's just that he is a competition. Another big shot in the school, clearly not as big as me and who can be? I never talk to him you know until it is very urgent. I don't like his being around me. I swear, he has an evil aura. Okay I admit his having an evil aura is too much. Probably it is an arrogant aura.

" Why? " I demanded.
Apeksha is always the good one so before she could lecture me infront of her friends I cut her off and said,

" Look sissy, my class ends up at 1:00 pm tomorrow and so does yours. So what on this earth are we going to do till 3:00 pm in this school tomorrow ?"

" Um, now we can't refuse them. This would be rude. I think we can watch the match. " Apeksha suggested.

Cricket. Certainly not my cup of tea.
Manners. Yes they are, so I agreed.

" Go, tell this to Rehan. "

Oh holy rivers, I hate the thought of talking to that Kshatriya.

" Let's go Navya."

Apeksha said and I did not pay any attention as she, her friends and Navya left. Umn Navya...... So  her name is Navya. So what? let it be. She is not at all good looking except her captivating eyes and she is certainly not of your type. You, Zeeshan just go and talk to that proud bratt, Rehan.

Later, at our house, Apeksha and I decided to bake a cake for dad's birthday. We wanted to make it special. Kundan bhaiya ,our helper had already bought the stuff we needed to bake the cake. Mom and dad had gone out on a dinner and Savita Kaki knew the recipe of each and every food item in this world except for the cake. Wow, just wow! So now internet came to our rescue because it's the first time that we are going to bake a cake.

Thinking about Savita Kaki . She is our house maid since twelve long years. Her husband died ten years ago and since then she lives with us in our mansion. She has one son who is right now studying in a prestigious university earing his degree for Physics Honours and he is supported by dad financially for his studies.

As I was lost in my thoughts Apeksha finally entered inside the kitchen. The clock was striking 9:00 pm sharp and she was late. She is always late and makes me wait for her.

"What the hell Apeksha? So late? " I yelled.

She looked up and smiled. I know what is coming. She will probably honour me with one of those girlie names. I can tell it by her smile. People think that my twin is innocent but she is no less than a devil when it comes on insulting me.

She smiled slyly and said, " I was completing my history assignment princess. Now don't you frown or your makeup gets spoilt. "

She always calls me by those girlie names- fairy, princess, queen and what not. Duh! she says that I am demanding and pay too much attention on fashion. Well of course why wouldn't I? I cannot remain as simple as she is. We afford it, we get it and we use it. I don't know what star influenced her when she was born.

" What was the time when you were born, Akku? " I smirked.

" Ah! Good Time. Right after the bad time when you were born Zeeshu. " she smirked. She knows this irritates me.

Fine. A fat, sickly sweet, relative of ours used to call us this when we were what? Five!

" Insulting your elder brother. Are you? Fiesty, fiesty. " I said emphasing on elder.

" Elder? Excuse me, we are twins." she defended herself.

" I am older than you kid. TWO MINUTES OLDER. " I fired.

" Let it go Zeeshan. Let's prepare the cake. " she said, clearly annoyed.
But the truth is truth. I am older and I am better. May she agree or not.

I took out my phone and opened Google and typed CAKE. They showed me pictures of cake.

" God dammit, I know what is a cake just tell me how do we bake it. " I yelled.

Apeksha snatched my phone from me.

" You have to type HOW - TO - BAKE - A - CAKE. You bimbo. "

BIMBO??? she called me a bimbo?
Is she out of her mind or what. Me, a bimbo.Gross.

" Excuse me, I am not a bimbo. And by the way who taught you the word bimbo?" I spat.

She gave me an apologetic look.

" Sorry I......... well it was a slip of tongue. I wanted to say dumbo. "

Can't believe it.

We opened the video via YouTube and prepared the batter of the cake. It was our first attempt and Apeksha was doing it like she had been baking cake for years. Then she did several stuff which flew directly over my head, so I just stood next to her and passed her important ingredients that she needed. Then she put the batter in a circular container and then put the container in the microwave and setted the timer.

" I think we will make it. " she said as she clasped her hands together and smiled.

" Yes, my knight in shining armor. You did it. " I chuckled.

Every work that is creative and imaginative is bound to be done by Apeksha perfectly, even if she is doing it for the very first time.

" So Zeeshan, are you calling your friends in tomorrow's party? "

"Yah, I have invited atleast eighty of them for the party. "

" OH my Zeeshan! It's dad's birthday party not yours. EIGHTY?" she said while widening her eyes.

" This is the shortest possible list that I can ever make. Trust me. "

She shook her head. Now, that is not my problem if I am that popular. I have too many friends. So what's wrong? But I was happy as the Kapoors will be coming tomorrow. Their son, Vikrant Kapoor is my best buddy. He does not study in the ROYAL'S but that does not make any difference. He is the container of all my secret. We are friends since K.G. and will always remain friends. I smiled to myself as I thought about Vikrant.

" How many friends did you invite Apeksha? "

" Umn.. Three. "

" Apeksha? It's dad's birthday not a group study. THREE? Like Seriously. " I gaped.

She nodded and said " Megha, Vidya and Navya. "

Ah! Navya ,that girl. She will be coming tomorrow. Nice.
So what Zeeshan? So many girls will be coming tomorrow. Like so many 'pretty' girls.

And finally the cake was ready. It's aroma filled the kitchen and it smelled delicious. I swear if it wasn't a gift then it was my dinner. Then we did some icing on it, some decorations and then we put it in the refrigerator. Dad's gonna receive a biiiiiiggggg surprise. I grinned.

" Do you know why dad and mom are out? " Apeksha suddenly asked.

" For a dinner. " I said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world which indeed it was.

"Dad and mom. Well, they entered a fight this morning. " she confessed.

"Holy fishes, and you are telling this to me now madam. Wait. What happened. Details. " I demanded totally shocked. Now how come she gets to know about the fights?

Apeksha slowly told me everything, every single detail with actions and also about how dad talked about that eighteen year old tragedy. So that is why he took out mom for a dinner and that is why the mansion smells of white daisies. Dad brought those flowers for mom. I smiled. Dad often looses his temper, speaks what he wants in full rage but then actually he loves my mom. More than he can ever love anyone else.

I want to be exactly like him.
I also want to keep my lady happy, to treat her as if she is the most special woman in this world. Well in dad's case he indeed got a very special woman, my mom - the winner of Miss India title twice consecutively.  I siged! I just love my parents.

" Hey Akku. "

"Yes? "

" Have you completed your maths assignment? "

" Well yes, I had completed it in the school itself. "

" Perfect. Then give it to me. "

" What? "

" I said give it to me. "

" I heard you for the very time, Fairy. "

" Please. "

"No. Do it yourself. "

"Please. "

" No. "

" Please. "

And saying this I ran towards her room and she ran behind me. But because I am faster I reached in her room faster and grabbed her assignment which was lying on her study table. She followed and shouted

"Zeeshan Tirupati PUT IT DOWN. "

"Come on sis, a sister in need is a sister indeed. " I smiled.

" Go to hell. "

" Okay but after completing the maths assignment. Thank you. "

Having said that I headed towards my room, grinning to myself and celebratrating my victory.
