Dev's POV
'Good Morning bhai' Devanshi barged into my room while I was getting ready for office
'Good morning Divi'
Divi is my life. I love her THE MOST. I could do anything for her smile. After what my parents did to me, all I care about is, My Divi. I was 8 years old when she was born. The moment, I saw her, I knew she was supposed to be the best gifts my 'parents' were giving me.
Divi(shouting): Bhaiiiiiiii.......
Me: Stop shouting Divi, will you??
Divi: I am calling you since 5 mins. What were you thinking?? Why were you smiling?? Do you have a girlfriend?? Were you thinking about her?? What is her name?? When and where did you meet her?? Have you guys——
Me: Divi, SHUT UP. I was just thinking about how you came into my life and how much I love you alright. And to answer all those other questions, I don't have a girlfriend. I wil sure tell you if I ever have one. Ok??
Divi: Ok bhai. I love you too. Accha, Anjali had called. She told me to tell you that you have a meeting in 1 hour with the French Delegates in that new branch of 'Elite' cafe. (Anjali is his PA)
Me: ok sweetie. That means I have to leave for the office now. So bye.
I said that, kissed her forehead and got out of my room.
As soon as I reached the living room, my lovely parents greeted me with a good morning.
Note the sarcasm.
After what they did to me, I never want to see them again, but what to do?? They are my parents and Divi can't live without them. And even though they did very bad with me, I can't forget them. They are my parents after all and I love them.
Mumma: Good morning Dev beta.
Me: Good morning.
Without even glancing at them, I went out of the room, to my car, asked my driver to leave for the office and finally release the tears I had been holding back.
I so wish everything was normal. I so wish.....

Dev's cabin
9:00 am
Ashmit enters the cabin. Dev is sitting there, busy with a file in his hands and did not notice him.
Ashmit(with a fake smile on):Hey buddy. Are you not coming to the meeting with those French delegates. I have heard the cafe has really nice latte. Let's try today??
Dev: Hey. I was just reading the same file. Ya let's go.
They reach the cafe only to see the delegates were not there yet. They decided to order their lattes and wait for the guests.
Ashmit: Bro, what kind of life do you lead?? No girls, no clubs, no parties, no fun?? How do you live without all that??
Dev: Ashmit we have talked about this. I don't like parties. They are very noisy. And about no girls——
Ashmit(cutting him off): U believe in true love and blah blah blah..... Dude, why don't you understand that none of it exists. There is no love, no truth. People get married only for either 'legalised' s****l life or kids or family pressure. There is never love.
Dev(with a sad smile):You are saying that because you don't love anyone buddy. I once did. I agree she let me alone, and of course broken, but that did not let my belief on love get broken.
Ashmit: Trust me, I am in no mood to fight right now or you would have gotten the right answer to this.
Dev just smiled at this and soon their clients came. The meeting went fine. The clients promised to tell their answer after a few days. .
Ashmit had to go for some urgent work, whereas Dev went back to office.
For the rest of the day he drowned himself in work. He was a workaholic. Not because he loved being one, but because being that helped him forget his painful real life.
At midnight he finally reached home and was greeted with the cutest site.. His little sister
was sleeping on the couch in a sitting position, with a popcorn bowl in her hands, the movie was paused from the start.
Dev(thinking): Oh no!!! I had promised her of a movie marathon today. How could I forget that?? Awww. My cutie pie. She was up waiting for me......
Dev slowly went to pick her up, but ended up waking her up.
Devanshi: Oh bhai, when did you come???
Dev: When you were waiting for me. I am so sorry Divi. I had so much work that I forgot about it sweetie. I promise to make it up to you tomorrow. Pakka
Devanshi: Bhai, it's ok. I know you have work.
Dev: That is what I love the most about you. You never misunderstand me. I love you baby sis.
Devanshi: I love you too. Now come on. Go and freshen up. I will just reheat the food.
Dev(thinking): A mother does this for her son. But here is my little college going sister, who does everything for me just like a mother does for her child. She makes me sleep if I get nightmares, she cooks for me, she waits for me till late night everyday, she consoles me when I am upset. I love her the most
Dev soon freshened up and had the good made by his lovely sis. Though there were innumerable servants in the Shukla household, Devanshi preferred cooking for her bhai herself.
