Between Heaven & Hell

Third person pov:

The next morning when Nandini got up, she didn't find Armaan beside her, She rubbed her palm over her face and was about to get down from the bed but realized that she is still naked.

She instantly looked around and found a neat robe placed at the edge of the bed.

She emotionlessly picked up the robe and wear it, then she moved to the washroom, did her business, and took the shower.

When she stepped into the closet, she found her clothes lying on the couch.

Once again she picked her clothes with a hard expression and started wearing them.

After getting ready, she moved to the mirror area and started staring at herself with emotionless manifestations.

She was looking so perfect, just like Armaan, she put her finger on the mirror and started stroking her mirror impression.

She sighed heavily and closed her eyes for a second, " Make your mood happy Nandini, come on! You can do this! It's not that tough..." Nandini opened her eyes, and once again released a heavy sigh.

She opened the drawer and pulled out three gift boxes, while looking at one gift box there was a genuinely sweet smile on her face.

She stoked that gift box with so much love and walked out of her room,

Nandini came into the kitchen and witnessed Armaan making breakfast for them,

Without making any sound she sat on her chair and started staring at her Mr. Perfectionist husband.

It's her everyday work, and every day she looks at her husband like this, Even after so many years of their marriage, Nandini still does not understand how Armaan does all the work so easily without making any sound.

"You are looking gorgeous..." Armaan compliment her

She came out of her thoughts and looked at her husband who just had put her breakfast in front of her.

Nandini removed her gaze from her husband and started staring at the breakfast that he had made for her.

"Is this for me...?" Armaan asked, looking at the gift boxes,

Nandini nodded her head, she picked two boxes and enacted them to Armaan.

Before Armaan say anything, she picked up her cell phone and called someone, but she heard the sound of a cell phone buzzing behind her, she twirled and witnessed the charm of her life.

A very handsome guy came close to Nandini and hugged her tightly, she also wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on both cheeks, then she cupped his face and started staring at him,

"How is my young little Man...?" She asked with so much love,

The guy grabbed her palms and kissed them one by one, " I missed you BJ, I missed you so much," the young man said and hugged her once again.

"If you guys are done hugging each other, So, will someone hug me too?..." Armaan asked, that's when the guy pulled his big brother and hugged him tightly.

"Haven't you missed me...?" Armaan asked his brother,

"I did, but not more than BJ, " Hearing that, Nandini pulled Siddharth's cheek. She felt so proud that he missed her more than Armaan,

"I am so proud of you Siddharth, So damn proud of you..." Nandini told him, staring at him with so many emotions.

"All this was possible because of your hard work if you were not there I would never have been able to clear the UPSC, " Sid said, then he suddenly hit his head dramatically and hugged his brother and sister-in-law once again so tightly,

"I am so sorry, so, so sorry, belated happy anniversary Bro, Thank you so much for marrying the best BJ of the world, " Hearing that, Armaan pat his brother's back

"It's my pleasure little brother..." Armaan commented back,

"Let's have breakfast..." Nandini said and pulled the chair for Sid,

Armaan was about to go to the kitchen but Nandini stopped him, " You sit here, I'll go and bring breakfast for him..."

Armaan pulled Nandini in his arms, and started staring at her lips, "Armaan, Sid is here...!" Nandini warned him and try to push him back but Armaan didn't let her.

"Your husband is also hungry ( Armaan said in double meaning, staring at her lips) bring my breakfast too..." Armaan said and grope her butts,

Hearing his words, Siddharth laughed but he hadn't witnessed how Armaan groped her butts.

Nandini cursed under her breath and moved to the kitchen, she made the breakfast plates and brought them to the dining area, she was about to sit on the chair but Armaan pulled her on his lap,

"Gosh! Seeing the love between you two, I feel like I should also get married now..." Sid said, picking up the toast and stuffing it into his mouth.

"All you have to say is yes! I'll talk to Baba Shahab and ask him for Jannat's hand for you, " hearing that Armaan and Sid started coughing badly at the same time and then they both started staring at her,

Armaan with stunned expressions & Sid with uneasiness.

"Are you out of your mind, you know Jannat is from the Syed family, and..." Before Armaan finished his words, Nandini cuts him off,

"Our Sid loves her since childhood, but hiding his love and feelings from Jannat because of her religion and fiance..." Hearing that Armaan got astounded and started staring at his brother.

Siddhartha sucked a deep breath and then took a sip of coffee, he can feel his brother and BJ gaze on him,

"Sid...!" Armaan was about to say something to his brother, but Nandini shook her head, she got up from Armaan's lap and sat beside Sid,

When Nandini put her palm on Sid's shoulder, he passed her a tight smile but seeing his moistened eyes Nandini got panicked and cupped his face instantly, she can bear anything but I can't see Sid in pain.

"Don't Sid! Don't! Please don't get emotional, you know I can't see you in pain, " she said, but Sid grabbed her palm tightly and started staring at her with so many emotions.

"How Bj? How did you see those feelings of mine which I am scared to tell even my shadow..." Sid asked but before Nandini replies to Sid, Armaan got up from the chair and started staring at his brother,

"Have you lost your mind, Sid? If her clan finds out that you have feelings for Jannat they'll set the entire city on fire..." Armaan screamed at his brother.

"And she's engaged, she's in love with her cousin..." Armaan said and ran his fingers into his hair, then he looked at his brother with a warning full gaze.

"You'll stay away from Jannat and if I see you around her, I'll break your damn legs..." Armaan said, in a very deep and dominating tone,

"Stop threatening him Mr. Husband, he came back after six months of training and this is how you are treating him..." Nandini told her husband, gritting her teeth in rage and staring at him with hard expressions.

"Shut up! Just shut f*****g shut up...( Armaan angrily grabbed her hand and pulled her close to his chest, anger was radiating from his body and his eyes were spewing fire in her direction) Since when do you know all this and why the heck you had kept this truth from me...?" He yelled at her,

Seeing Armaan's anger Sid got up from his chair, he was extremely worried for his BJ, " Bro...!" Sid tried to stop his brother but Armaan showed his palm to his little brother.

" I've known this since I and Sid were in school, I thought with time Sid's love will change and he will move on in his life like other boys, But it did not happen, " Nandini told her husband, staring into his eyes in a very daring manner, of course, its the matter of Sid, and for him, she could even fight with god too.

"She is engaged, she doesn't love me, so because of my unfinished love,

you two stop quarreling with each other, " Sid told them and freed Nandini from Armaan's tight grip.

Sid cupped Nandini's face and looked into her eyes, " She has become that part of my life that can never be fulfilled now. Everything is already fixed in her life, she'll get married after six months and I have accepted this truth a long time ago..." Sid assured Nandini

Nandini kept staring at Sid, she can see the pain in Sid's eyes, she can see how much Sid loves Jannat and if he didn't get her, he'll never move on in his life with any girl.

Nandini sighed while closing her eyes, then she opened her eyes and looked at Sid with a smile, " I have a gift for you..."

Hearing her words Sid smiled but Armaan was staring at his wife and brother with serious expressions, He could not believe that his brother and wife were hiding such a big truth from him for so many years.

Armaan sat on the dining chair and started eating his breakfast but after two bites he pushed the plate away,

Nandini and Sid both stared at Armaan, but Armaan lost his appetite.

"Bro...!" Sid was about to say something but was cut off by Armaan,

"I don't want to see you near Jannat and that's my final warning to you Sid, I don't want to lose my only brother because of religion clashes..." Armaan said,

Sid tried to say something but Armaan's one hard glare was enough to seal Sid's mouth.

Armaan picked up the gift boxes and put them carefully into his bag, then he placed a soft kiss on Nandini's lips and left their luxurious penthouse...

Once Armaan left, Nandini turned her attention to Sid, " You don't have to listen to your brother, you must fight for your love..." Nandini said, feeding him the fruit salad,

"I can't BJ! I can't! She wasn't mine, it was my mistake to fall in love with her, it was my mistake that I didn't tell her about my feelings at the right time... And now because of my love, I can't ruin her happy life..." Sid said, putting a huge mountain on his chest.

Nandini sighed**

"So, when you'll join your post...?" Nandini asked,

"Tomorrow..." Sid replied and started opening his gift box,

Seeing his gift, Sid's eyes started blooming with happiness,

Nandini's heart filled with so much joy to see the smile on Sid's face, "No way...!" Sid yelled in excitement.

Nandini got up and ruffled his hair as if he is a small kid, " from where you got this...?" Sid asked, looking at his Bj with amazed expressions, holding the

Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime tightly but carefully in his palm.

"bought from the auction..." Hearing that, Sid once again got up from the chair and hugged Nandini,

"You are the best BJ in the world...!" Sid screamed,

Nandini smiled back looking at his enthusiasm, " And you are the baby brother in the world..."

Sid freed her from his arms and started stroking the watch, " I don't know what to say BJ, I honestly wasn't expecting this..." Sid said and looked into Nandini's eyes.

"Thank you for coming into our lives and completing our family BJ, thank you for the light which you have brought into our lives, " hearing his words, Nandini started feeling guilty but she told herself that she only cheated on her husband, not on Sid.

Her love for Sid is pure and unconditional, she never loved and cared for someone as much as she loves her brother-in-law.

"Don't ever say thank you to me again Sid, you are my only happiness if you started saying thank you to me, I'll start feeling stranger in this family, in your life..." Nandini told him, patting his cheek.

Sid grabbed her palm and kissed it, " Come on Bj, "

"You have come after six months, why don't you go out with your college friends and have fun... " Nandini asked,

Seeing the hesitation on his face, Nandini called his name, " I want to take Jannat out, but... But..."

"You can take her out, I'll deal with your brother... But try to avoid an encounter with your brother, " Hearing that Sid, started bouncing around like a toddler...
