Falak's POV
.
'If the things in your life start going too smoothly, then that's the signal of the storm before the silence.'
Each and every ceremony went smoothly until now, whether it was of Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, or Bachelor Party. Now, only one thing was pending, MARRIAGE.
After that, I wouldn't have to worry about Klaus' secret getting disclosed.
"Senooo!!" Klaus shook my shoulder, bringing me back to reality.
"Huh? You were saying something?" I asked when I realized that I had heard nothing whatever he had said before. He narrowed his eyes before speaking.
"Stop getting worried, will you?"
"Sorry, I can't help myself.", I muttered and gave an apologetic smile. "Now, can you please repeat what you were saying before?" I asked softly, knowing how he melted easily when I spoke calmly.
"God! I can't even stay mad at you.", He muttered, trying to glare at me, but a smile broke on his lips. He started looking in the sky. We both were enjoying each other's company on the terrace of the palace, sneaking out of the bachelor party.
Everyone had an idea that I was with Klaus at this moment, so I didn't have to worry about getting caught while spending time with him because almost all the family members were aware that something was going on between us. It's just that they didn't bring up the topic of marriage or engagement because they were not planning to let me go this soon, at least for not the upcoming next two years.
Klaus kept his head on my shoulder and spoke, "I was saying that you should ask Saira to stop testing Jacob's patience because I have never seen him losing his mind at someone. I'm afraid that he might end up doing something to Saira."
"What do you mean?" I asked in confusion.
"We share the same blood, Carino! I break things when I'm mad, but when Jacob's mad, then he speaks hurtful things or does something for which he regrets later."
"Oh!" I opened my mouth to say something about Jacob, but then I knew that Saira was the one who kept teasing and making fun of him from the first day. I meant, what was the need for anyone's patience to this limit? I clearly remembered how Jacob pointed out fingers at my character though he apologized immediately, but I didn't want that to happen with Saira.
On the top, Neither Klaus nor I wanted to get stuck in any problem because of our sibling's fight.
"I will talk to her tonight.", I said.
"Thank you, and I will ask to keep his anger in check till tomorrow night."
"Till tomorrow night?" I asked in confusion and realized that they were leaving tomorrow. "I don't think that this matter will end tomorrow night because Dad told me that Saira and Mom will be accompanying me to Melbourne, and they will stay with me for a while."
"Then let's see what we can do. Moreover, it's not like that Jacob was going to meet Saira even if she stays with you at your apartment."
"My apartment?"
"Yes, Carino! What did you think? I'm not going to allow you or your family to stay in a hotel. There are already two rooms in your apartment. Though one is used by Maria, but I'm sure you don't need her when your family will already be there. Moreover, it will be great if Maria will stay with Albert as much as possible."
"I don't know what to say!"
"How about YES?"
"I will share this with dad because saying YES. I don't want to disappoint them."
"I don't know you're such a daddy's girl.", He teased.
"You won't understand how good it feels to know that there's someone in your life who is there to scold you, care for you, love you, sometimes even hit you, and worry for you. It may sound like a restriction for others, but I'm kind of enjoying this phase. I mean, even this is a blessing because not everyone is blessed with someone who cares for you prior to anything.", I chirped.
"I understand."
"Sorry?"
"You mentioned before that 'you won't understand how good it feels. Well, I understand that feeling very well.", He said, lifting his head from my shoulder and smiling at me. "You didn't have your family with you; that's why you couldn't feel that bond, but in my case, I couldn't feel those things even though my father was alive. All he cared about was his heir, business, and status."
"Hey!...," Before I could have said anything to enlighten his mood. Klaus was being pulled away, and a punch landed on his face.
My eyes widened when I looked at Kush and Mayan while Bella and Camella were behind them.
"How dare you?" Kush punched Klaus's face again. I yelped in fear when blood started oozing out of Klaus's lips.
"Kush!" I tried to rush toward him to calm him down, but Bella and Camella held me. "Let your brother handle this douchebag. He is playing with the life of two girls at the same time.", Camella said, confirming my doubt.
Shit!
"What made you think that you will keep my sister a fool and no one will come to know about it?" Mayan yelled and kicked Klaus.
"I can explain, guys!" Klaus tried to say but earned a punch from Kush.
"Kush, Mayan!" I screamed and tried to fight Bella and Camella to loosen their grip on my arms. "Just leave my damn arms! I already know everything. You guys better handle those two hulks who are going to hit my man as if he's LOKY.", I cried and jerked their hand away from me to handle my brothers.
"How dare you play with the feelings of Angela and then my sister?" Mayan yelled, punching his stomach when Klaus tried to stand up.
"I'm not going to leave you, bastard.", Saying this, Kush was going to punch him again, but I came in between his punch and Klaus. I was waiting for the sharp pain on my face, but it never came. I slowly opened my eyes and found Klaus holding his hand and looking at Kush in anger.
His anger was definitely not good news!
Not again!
