Chapter 117 - I’m Content With Being Your Sister’s Husband. (1/2)

| | Innaya | |

”I am taking my sister out,” Arjun announced from the doorsteps. I giggled knowing what was coming next. Both of them were always quarreling like kids, and as a good silent spectator, I would enjoy their childish banter. As expected, they started with their routine of glares and sarcasm, and I just leaned against the dining table enjoying the show.

”Excuse me? I have taken a day off for her,” Eshan countered sharply as he glared at his friend.

”So have I, and as I was saying early before you very rudely interrupted me.” Arjun gave a reprimanding look to Eshan. He turned his gaze to me. ”Are you free today?” he asked me completely ignoring Eshan.

”No, we aren't,” Eshan replied instead as he flung his arm across my shoulders, and pulled me to his chest. Tips of my ears started turning red as Eshan showed his possessiveness.

”Am I asking you?”

”I am telling you.”

”I am not interested.”

”Bye Arjun.”

”Oh, finally the tiny winy brain of yours worked! Goodbye Eshan.”

I laughed internally as Eshan sulked grumpily. I have never seen this side of Eshan ever unless it was with Arjun. Always calm, composed, and, mature Eshan would turn into a different person, both of them would- into competing children, fighting for the attention. I scurried away out of Eshan's arms and moved to Arjun's side.

Somehow, I was feeling like teasing Eshan and who was better than Arjun to side with. Eshan's eyes narrowed when he caught on my playful smile

”Hello, Innaya.” Arjun, side hugged me and smiled warmly at me. His blue eyes shone with the mischievousness of wining the small banter. ”So, can I steal you for some time?”

Eshan huffed in annoyance when I glanced at him for his approval. He nodded slightly. ”Yes,” I answered smilingly. Asking for Eshan's approval was not completely unnecessary because after yesterday's events. There was that urge to have him around me. Maybe, it was because of the emotional ride I went through last evening, but I wanted him before my eyes. It might sound insane, but Eshan has become my stress buster.

”Perfect.”Arjun squeezed my shoulder, smiling brightly.

”Now you mister, go and sort some food for us. I have something important to discuss with my sister.” Arjun steered me away to the living room, ordering Eshan on his way. I glanced back at Eshan only to see him winking playfully at me. No matter how much they bickered at the end of the day, they both loved each other.

We walked back in the silence with Arjun humming some tune, which I did not understand. I wanted to ask him, which song it was, but then I scrapped that thought. He looked very peaceful, and I did not want to disturb him yet. I smiled once we took seats in the living room.

”So, what's so important matter?” I asked him when he finally stopped with his that oddly familiar tune.

”Nothing, I just wanted to irritate your husband.” Arjun raised his voice as he glanced back. ”He has troubled me so much, you have no idea.”

I suppressed my giggles; it was not that good thing to laugh on my husband behind his back. Well, on second thought, it should be fine when I caught Eshan's figure standing behind pillar eavesdropping on our conversation.

”I heard that. Wait, you fool. I'll show who irritates whom,” Eshan yelled from inside as he strode towards us.

This time, I laughed out loudly. Who knew Eshan would be silently listening to us, and on top of that, he got discovered too. I silently pitied him in my heart.

”Who do you think you are? Trying to be James Bond? Dream on, you can't be the one- ever,” Arjun snorted.
