I just nodded awkwardly when I realized that I had been staring at no one in particular, just deep in thought, might I add with a frown etched on my forehead? No doubt that I was as pink as a baby panda.
"Let's get you to the doctor," Aaryan's voice brought me back to the present as he gently led me towards the sofa where Daksh was seated, while I hobbled my way. I was a little scared and nervous at the moment. Never had I ever been in the company of such a handsome man, let alone three.
"What happened?" Daksh came to kneel before me as Aaryan explained, "Broke her heel, twisted her ankle and dragged a pyramid of glasses down with her, can you imagine that?"
Amusement was dripping from his tone, I swear I would have punched him in the guts if he wasn't helping me out here.
"Gosh, I could be wrong and you could be worse than Luv and Kush put together," I rolled my eyes as I leaned back when I corrected myself, "No, I take that back."
"You do?" Aaryan raised his eyebrows in surprise to hear me take back the words I had been repeating like a broken tape recorder the whole night.
"Yeah," I nodded my head before adding, "You ARE worse than Luv and Kush put together."
It took a second or two for him to process what I had said before understanding dawned over his features. That was it, the laughing Buddha burst into laughter. Aaryan had been laughing almost the entire night at my expense, "Oh, that attitude you have!"
I just narrowed my eyes at him, grumbling, "Yeah. Whatever. Laughing Buddha." That was when I realized that we had company. Daksh's eyebrows shot up to his hair, a small tilt in the side of his lips while Neel looked quite amused as a smirk threatened to break out. As if on cue, my cheeks flushed red and my eyes widened a bit.
"Don't mind me, it's just that he annoys me faster than anyone else," I tried sounding casual.
One by one they started chuckling, enjoying the free show.
"Where did you find this one?" I heard Neel's voice for the first time. It was deep just like the other two but had a gentle tone to it. It went well with his personality.
"You wouldn't believe me," he replied with a tease.
"That's something that I can't disagree with, go on and tell anyway," Neel leaned over his elbows stacked over his knees.
"I followed her to the end of the world," Aaryan winked flopping on the sofa beside me. Neel threw a cushion that was beside him at Aaryan.
"You're barfing that shit as always," Neel rolled his eyes, leaning back again. I couldn't believe that they were acting like regular siblings. Hearing their reputation and seeing their initial behavior, I had thought differently. At least, it was comforting to see them act like normal humans. Daksh ignored them as he examined my ankle.
"Ouch!" I winced at the pain when he slightly turned my foot.
"Does it hurt here?" He asked, slightly pressing the left of my ankle.
"No."
"Here?" He pressed the right side of my ankle making me flinch.
"Yeah..."
"Does it hurt intolerably?" He examined that part further.
"Not like a broken bone though."
"A pain relief ointment should be sufficient then. You should be able to walk properly in about two days. It's just a mild sprain, so just follow the R.I.C.E way. You know what’s R.I.C.E, right?" Daksh asked making me nod. I wasn’t new to it, that saved time. By the time Daksh had finished with his observation, Neel had already called for the butler through the intercom.
"So Rynah, what do you do?" Daksh eased onto the huge wooden teapoy before me.
"I just completed my engineering, still have a few days before joining the job. What about you guys?" I asked politely but it amused the trio. All of them had their eyebrows raised and surprise clear on their faces. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to ask that after all.
"You don't know what we do?" It was Neel who broke the silence.
"No, not really. Except for the fact that Daksh just examined my ankle, indicating that he's the doctor, I don't even know what Aaryan does," I shrugged nonchalantly, or tried to.
"Told ya, she is something else," Aaryan shook his head amused.
Daksh smiled while Aaryan smirked as he explained, "Okay, Craziness. I don't know if it's amusing me more or scaring me by the fact that you so recklessly came into a house of a stranger with more strangers but anyway, as you already know, Daksh Raivardhan is a neurosurgeon, he's such a rookie in the field that his schedule is filled for the next three years. Neel Raivardhan over there," he pointed at Neel before continuing, "He is a prosecutor turned attorney, I can say, got kicked out from the government unit. Such a poor excuse of a lawyer that he ended up being on the magazine as the most expensive lawyer in the country. Now coming tooh-so-poor-littleme," he wriggled his eyebrows making me roll my eyes but I couldn't help but grin, "I am still trying to grab some attention with my music. You must have already heard tonight how off-key I sing. Just a struggling musician, you know, with some four to five hit albums under my belt, nothing more than what a regular beggar earns."
