Chapter 117 - I’m Content With Being Your Sister’s Husband.

| | 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. 

Eshan walked around the coffee table, and sat beside me, putting his hand across my shoulders. "I don't want to be. I'm content with being your sister's husband." Eshan dropped a kiss on my forehead as he gave a smug look to Arjun, he even wiggled his eyebrows. My jaw almost dropped to the floor with his comeback.

"Acting smart, huh? Child, you are still not that capable-"

"Okay, enough two of you," I intervened. Seemed like they could continue for the whole day if that happened then what I was to do? Watch them, with popcorns in my hands?

"Just because you said so."

"Just because you said so."

Two voices rang out from my sides, and I was amazed at how coordinated they were.

"Wow."

"But, why is here? Didn't I ask him to prepare something for me? I have not had my breakfast yet," Arjun complained, playfully glaring at Eshan.

"The breakfast is already on the table, serve yourself," Eshan replied as he took my hand in his, purposefully acting all cozy before Arjun to rile him up.

Arjun however, instead of getting up, shoved Eshan's hands away and pulled me on my feet. Before I could realize what he was doing he had already pulled me out of the door. Eshan also followed behind, trying to understand Arjun's behavior.

"Hey listen, Arjun." Eshan caught up with us, and he tried to pull me to his side. "What are you doing? Give me my wife back- you wife snatcher." 

"Go away, you annoying mosquito. I have a surprise for my sister." Arjun brushed him off as he ushered me to the front porch.

"Arjun, where are we going?" I asked him when I noticed we crossed the porch and were heading forward. "Did you not want to eat? Let's go inside, first have something," I tried to convince him but he had other intentions.

Was he being serious about taking me out? I wanted to spend the day with Eshan. To be honest, it had been so long when I got a peaceful time with Eshan... After the events of the last couple of months, I wanted to enjoy every second with Eshan. Not that I hated Arjun's company or anything, but my top priority was Eshan. 

I could not help but wonder, what plans Eshan might have made. I wanted to be part of them; I wanted to see what he had on his mind. 

"You'll know when we get there." Arjun mysteriously smiled. "It's a surprise." 

I suddenly had a very bad feeling about his surprise. Eshan's surprise had made me feel conscious about surprises. I had a fright about receiving surprises now. I was better off not receiving any rather than being at the receiving end of shocks. 

"Arjun, I don't want any surprises. Please, let's head back. Alright?" I said as I tried to free my hand from his hold. My voice quivered. Arjun let go of me as he loosened his hold.

I scurried back, abruptly moving away. My back collided against Eshan as he was following closely from behind.
