" Can I flirt Myra?? "

" Viren will beat you. "

" He would, but you didn't give any reaction brother... What's going on?? " He asked with a raised eyebrow.

" Shlok, tell him to get lost from here, otherwise, I will lose my temper. As it is, I am already very tired and frustrated because of the situation, so tell him to be in control. " I said.

" Shaurya, enough!! He is our friend and we need to help him, not tease him. " Shlok said.

" I will, but tell him to be honest with us. He has been looking at Roshni more than Myra. What does that mean?? " Shaurya asked

" Roshni and I argued just before you all walked in. Her life is in danger because of my family. She would have been abducted today. Do you remember she was being abducted on new year's eve as well? "

" Oh, yes, that's why she looked familiar. Does she know that you saved her that day? " Shlok asked.

" No! Please don't tell her. She is already kind of hero-worshipping me since I saved her from a situation. " I said.

" So you don't like her as a man likes a woman? " Shlok asked.

" No!! Though, I like her as a person. "

" Tell me clearly, whom do you want Myra or Roshni? " Shaurya asked.

Why did I see Roshni's face when I closed my eyes?

Maybe because I was thinking about her as we had a heated argument.

Yes!!

" Myra as a life partner and Roshni, as a friend. " I said.

" Just a friend?? "

" Yes!! "

" Ok, then the best solution to all your problems is that you flirt with Myra... " Shaurya said.

" So that Viren kills me?? " I asked rolling my eyes.

" Will you let me complete it? Who told you to flirt with her in front of her brother, you idiot? Do it when Roshni is around. Myra will be happy that you are paying attention to her, and your relationship with her would improve. And Roshni would see that you are happy with Myra and she would gradually realise and accept that you are in a relationship with Myra and are happy, she will back out on her own." He explained and it seemed right.

" Really? "

" Yes, I also think, it should work. " Shlok said.

" And let others flirt with her... " Shaurya added.

" No!! "

" Shlok explain it to this duffer. " Shaurya rolled his eyes and said.

" I think, Shaurya is right, as it will boost her confidence and she would realise that even if you are not interested in her, there would be other men who would like her and she would find someone who loves her back. " He explained.

" It is not easy... She is adamant about making me aware of her feelings for me again and again." I said.

" That's because she is insecure about losing you. Let her feel that even with you gone, there will be others. Her mind would be distracted. And if nothing else, she would learn, how to deal with flirting. " Shaurya said.

" Ok, let's try this, if it is going in the wrong direction, we will stop it. " I said as I was not convinced.

" You concentrate on flirting with your Myra. Rest will be done automatically. " Shlok said.

" Ok!! Let's see. Now please go and sleep. I am dead tired. " I said.

" We are going but you stay in your room. Don't go wandering towards her room again. " Shaurya said and ran away before I could punch him.

" I don't know... Why did you tell him everything?? " I asked Shlok.

" I can't hide anything from him and neither can he. Bye, don't worry. Everything will be fine. " He said and went to sleep too.

I tried to sleep but was still shocked that I saw Roshni's face instead of Myra's.

I was not interested in Roshni that way... I can't even think about it. She was a child... I have never thought of her that way.

No!! I don't want her... It was not right. I wanted Myra, not her. I can't allow that.

***********

It was morning and as usual, I got up early and went to the beautiful garden of our haveli landscaped by my Chachi. There were many sitting arrangements in the garden areas where we could enjoy nature while having breakfast or any other meal, the gardens around the haveli were beautifully decorated so I told Maharaj Ji and servants to serve brunch out there.

I was still thinking about Myra and Roshni and realised that may be Malhotra brothers were right. I told the gardener to make a small but beautiful bunch of flowers and bring them to me.

I went upstairs, in front of the room where Myra was staying with Roohi. I was still thinking of a valid reason to go in so that Roohi doesn't find it weird.

The best way to distract Roohi was to involve Mihir. Mihir, Gaurvi, Roohi and Vihan were almost inseparable. They were friends and have been studying together since they took admission to the play school.

I called Mihir to get Roohi out of the room, so I could go inside.

He took the call after some rings.

" Yes, Bhai !! " His voice was rough with sleep.

" Sorry to disturb your sleep, Mihir, but I planned something. Can you call Roohi away? I need to go and Myra. " I requested.

" Bhai, you are getting too demanding nowadays. " He said.

" Don't worry, I will face the punches of Gautam uncle for you. I will find a way to save you from him. " I said with a smile.

" Let's see if you need to do that or not. As it is, he has warned me and Vihan to stay away from his daughter... Especially me. " He said in a sad voice.

" Over possessive husbands club should change its name now... Over-Protective fathers club. " I said and chuckled.

" What about us? Are we not members of the Over-Protective brothers club??" He asked.

" We all are crazy... Like fathers, like sons... " I said and we both laughed.

" Ok, I will call Roohi to meet me. But if Raj or Ron see me with her, they will glare at me, especially Ron. He is such a flirt, and I am not even interested in Roohi that way. Everyone knows Roohi and I are just friends, then why do they glare at me?? I want to glare at him too. " He complained.

" But you don't have any reason to glare at him. " I reminded him with a smile.

" But I want to. " He was being adamant.

" Call Roohi!! Stop fantasizing about glaring at them. " I said.

" Ok, bhai!! I will give you a missed call when Roohi is out of the room. " He said and disconnected the call. I went to my room and waited for his call.

The phone rang after 5 minutes. A missed call from my brother. I smiled and went to her room and waited outside after knocking.

Just then I saw Roshni coming out of her room. She was still limping and stopped when she saw me.

" Good morning, Manik Ji. "

" Good morning, How are you feeling now? "

" Better, thanks. Wow!! Beautiful flowers... For me? " She smiled.

I didn't know what to say but just then Myra opened the door.

" Good morning, handsome!! " Myra said.

" Good morning, sweet... Myra." I realised Roshni was still there.

" It's ok, no one is here, you can call me sweetheart. Beautiful flowers, Manik!! Thanks. Come in, why are you standing there? " She said and stepped out to pull me in and saw Roshni.

They both got conscious and I got uncomfortable.

" Oh, hello, Rashmi... " Myra said.

" Roshni! " I corrected her.

" I am Roshni!! " Roshni said sharply.

" Ok, thanks for telling me your name, I have noted it. Will you please excuse us now? " She said to Roshni.

How rude!!!
