The Abyss-Ishqbaaz FF by Aashi

Chapter-4

As soon as Om entered, he found Prinku panicking. “Hey Prinku what happened?” putting his hand on her shoulder comfortingly. “Wo, bhaiyaa, wo…….” Priyanka stammered, fidgeting with her fingers. The next moment Om heard the loud voices of his parents & of his chotimaa. He glanced at his sister once before moving swiftly in midst of the elders’ discussion. “Shut up, everyone; if you all wish to fight go find an arena for it.” Without listening to any further words, Om stormed off to his room. Too bad he already knew the cause of the argument downstairs. The Oberoi Empire.

“blo*dy adopted b*t*h ………you bastard…………….Maaaa…….”
Gauri sat up upright on her single bed, with labored breath. Her afternoon nap was as always interrupted. She sighed looking at the bedside-clock. Great, a ten-minutes nap, again. Pushing the blanket away from herself, she stepped onto the cold floor. Quietly, she went to the next room to see the children cuddled against each other as they slept. Gauri smiled fondly looking at them; her sole reason of survival. They had entered, quite unexpectedly, in her life. Though she hadn’t welcomed the thought of having them, she realized there was no way round. Her decision made her a better person; a strong woman & a stronger person. She covered them with the quilt & caressed their hair. She watched them visibly relax and drift into deeper slumber as she breathed deeply remembering her interview with a company was on the day next for the post she had applied. She dearly wanted the job as it not only paid well but also promised bonuses & two day-offs a month other than the Sundays. She kissed the kids foreheads & then went off to the kitchen to prepare for an evening snack.

Shivaay stared at the faces of his sleeping brothers, glowing in the slight light of the morning Sun, filtering through the half-opened curtains of his room. It was not the first time that he had seen something like this, but every time he looked, he created a memory of it. Silently, he took out his cell & clicked a picture. It was perfect; one of Om’s legs on Rudra, the other hanging out half covered with blanket, while Rudra hugging him with his mouth slightly open, arms round Om’s torso. They were his cousins but meant more than anything to him, his friends, his hope, HIS LIFE. Quickly, so as they don’t see the vulnerability on his face, he went out of the room to his study-cum-office & saved the photo quickly in his laptop, hid it, & went to the office as it was the day he was supposed to take the interviews of the supposedly eligible personal secretary for THE SHIVAAY SHINGH OBEROI. Flicking his hair in the usual style & attitude, he went to the office.
