9. AN ORPHAN DOG
823 Words
They reach the Sicilian Grand hotel and get down from the car.
A car comes which is supposedly, a blue lamborghini as seen by Vihaan's eyes.
"Where are all the other members of your family, Vihaan, are they not coming?" Payal asks, holding Vihaan's hand like a couple ready to enter.
"Speak of the devil and the devil is here." Says Vihaan, looking at the Lamborghini.
Vihaan adjusts his tuxedo in utter disappointment, showing his rage and anger for his younger brother and the oldest of the three step-brothers, Meet Sinha.
He is dressed so inappropriately. He's come in jeans-shorts and with a bottle of whiskey in his hands. He throws the car keys at Vihaan's driver and tells him to park his car. He is tall, but not taller than Vihaan. He has a sharp nose and is muscular too. Unlike Vihaan's gelled hair, his hair is messy and uncombed. And yes, he stinks of alcohol. Walks like an uncultured boss.
"Hello brotha." He jabs his fist into Vihaan's chest, lightly.
"Hey, beautiful!" He kisses payal's hand.
"How's it all going?" Meet asks, smiling, chewing the gum inside his mouth.
"Everything was fine until you arrived." Says Vihaan.
"See! I make everything special. You must not like me but I am pretty charming and attractive." Meet says, coolly.
Vihaan rolls his eyes.
"Shall we get to the party?" Vihaan asks Payal.
"Wait, brotha, what's the hurry? You never wait for our family right? You've always had problems with us and our mother." Says Reyhaan, getting close to Vihaan.
"Shut the f**k up before I break your face into pieces. And stay away from me." Says Vihaan, showing his eyes.
"Okay! Okay!" Meet throws his hands in the air. "Oh… oh… what an angry brotha. There will never be anyone like you. Trust me. Afterall, we need someone like you who is just an orphan dog, to tease and bully right? Oh! man, I like you." He again gives Vihaan a chest hi-five. He mocks him.
Vihaan grits his teeth.
"You don't anger me, you irritate me. You are such a pathetic creature born to this family. Your exact place should have been in the zoo with the animals." Says Vihaan.
"Why do we need other animals when we have you as our family's dog? Haha..haha… I'll stay with you instead." Meet says, really irritating Vihaan.
"If you utter one more word, I swear I'll kill you." Vihaan warns.
"Hey! Chill brotha."
"Okay! Stop it you two! For what have we come and what are you doing exactly? Show some respect to the occasion guys. Behave like animals in your own houses. Please. Now let's wait for everyone." Payal terminates the fight.
"If you say then we stop. Darling!" Says Meet, blowing a kiss at her.
"Stay away from her, you perverted brat." Vihaan says.
Another car comes in. Mukesh Sinha and his wife, Devanshi Sinha get out of the car.
Mukesh is wearing a black suit whereas Devanshi is wearing a beautiful ivory saree.
"What type of clothes are these, Meet?" Asks, Mukesh Sinha.
"Hey papa! It's fine, I'm a little under-dressed but this works. I like it this way." Meet replies.
"Nonsense! Go and…" Mukesh Sinha tries to say but is interrupted.
"Stop it… how much are you going to run behind him? He can make his own decisions." Says Devanshi, siding with her son.
"Of course he can, Maa, but he has to dress appropriately when he is going to a party of our partners." Aakash comes in the picture, dressed simply in a shirt and trousers.
"Aakash my brother." Meet and Aakash hug. "Aren't you a little, no, not little you should have been the brother of this orphan brotha." Meet says in Aaksh's ear.
"Please brother. You can't behave this way here!" Says Aakash.
"And who is gonna stop us? You?" Asks Meet.
Aakash shakes his head, sighing.
Meanwhile, A white Mercedes stands in front of the hotel.
"Here comes another creature." Vihaan whispers.
"Leave it brother, no point in arguing. He can never be one of the three of us. He is clearly his brother." Reyhaan throws his keys too at Vihaan's driver.
"Have you not got your own drivers?" Asks the frustrated Vihaan.
"No! Because we drive by ourselves. Not like you, taking advantage of the status that has gotten you for free." Says Reyhaan.
He's also dressed inappropriately.
"Reyhaan! Where were you?" Meet hugs him.
"I was at the club." Reyhaan replies.
"Don't know what this Vihaan has done to my son that he listens and behaves like him." Devanshi whispers loudly.
Vihaan gets more angry upon hearing his step-mother speak ill of him and the other two brothers, Meet and Reyhaan laugh.
"I don't think I can waste my time with fools. Payal, Dad, if you're coming together then come, otherwise I'm going alone." Vihaan dashes from there.
