MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Head over heart
TRACYI tossed and turned on my bed as tears flowed freely down my face .Memories of those time I had to take on part time jobs just to take care of Raymond came to my mind freely .After all the sacrifices I've made for him ,he chose kheera over me ? He chose love over Family? .My phone started ringing and I checked the caller to see it is one of my customers ,I rejected the call and turned off my phone .I fell flat on my bed .The fact that kheera betrayed me and dated my brother stung hard ,how can she do that to me ? They are both willing to lose me that I've been a big part of their lives because of something I can't even refer to as love .It is obvious kheera is just toying with Raymond's feelings ,she cannot possibly truly love a man that is younger than her . That's ridiculous !.I heard a knock on the door and I stood up groaning angrily .Who the heck is it ?I opened the door and I saw kheera standing outside ,I tried to slam the door on her face but she caught it jus
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER How can he love me Like this ?
HENRY" What are you doing here?" . Kheera asked and I sighed .I cannot keep playing hide and seek with her ,it's about time I have a good talk with her and let her know I have intentions of getting her back ." Kheera I need to speak with you ,can I come in ?" .I asked and she shook her head agressively ." No !" She replied and made to slam the door on my face when I paused her with my hand on hers .She glared at me and I let go of her hand gently " Please " I pleaded and she gave a frustrated sigh ." You have five minutes " she replied and stood still holding the door half open although it is not wide enough to let me in.I decided not to push further ." I'm sorry khee " I said and paused to check her reaction .She scoffed at me with disgust and it's evident she hates my gut ." You have 3 minutes more " she replied ." I married pearl because my company was going bankrupt and I needed her family's investment and their only condition was for me to marry her ." She looked s
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Once again you are choosing kheera over me !
Two days earlier .............DAVID " What do you mean by that ?" I asked staring wide eyed at Raymond who visited me unexpectedly at my place .How did he even get to know my place ?He wants me to be with kheera because they are no more together.I noticed kheera has been spacing out a lot at work but I didn't know how to talk to her ,I didn't want her to feel pressured and I also needed to stay away from her so I can finally move on ." Please " he begged .I sighed slowly ." Why don't you try talking to your sister and make her see reasons why you want to be with kheera that would be a good solution ". I said and he scoffed gently ." You think I haven't tried that ? Tracy is very stubborn and she wouldn't even see me " .he replied " I am not comfortable with what you are asking me to do " " Do you think I am comfortable with asking you to be with a woman I love instead of me ?" He yelled .Normally I would be annoyed because he yelled at me but I understand how frustrated he
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER I pushed him to another woman
KHEERAI sat down unsettled in front of my desk , everything is just so tiring and frustrating . " Please pick up your phone kheera !" Tina yelled and I glanced at my phone to see it's been ringing for a while but it had stopped ringing . " You spaced out completely kheera ,what's going on?" She asked with a worried look on her face . What if I talk to her and hear her opinion ? " Come on talk to me " she said leaving her desk to come stand in front of me. I sighed ." It's not me Tina ....it's about my friend and I'm just so worried about her " . I lied because I know Tina is not that tight lipped she might spread the news throughout the company . She smiled at me looking excited like a child that's given a candy . " Erm ......so my friend likes her best friend's brother ......." .I paused to read her reaction and she looks as if she's enjoying listening to me . " They started dating without her friend's knowledge and well they got caught and the friend is so mad at her so
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Unfamiliar voice
RAYMOND" It's nice seeing you again Ray " Merissa said and I smiled gently .Merissa and I went to the same university but we lost contact after school so when I got her call to hang out I was very excited at least I'll be able to get busy and get kheera out of my mind ." I had fun today" she continued as we both walked to the house house immediately we got down from the car .I noticed a figure behind the pole but I shrugged it off .it must be one of these beggars that do come over to ask for money ,but why is this one standing behind a pole ? " Ray ?" Merissa called bringing me out of my thoughts and that was when I realized I had not been paying attention to what she has been saying ." I'm sorry ,I got lost .....what were you saying?" I asked and she paused and smiled at me ." Are you sure you are fine ?" She asked and I nodded .I opened my mouth to say something but was shut by the sobs of the person behind the pole .It sounded like a woman,why is she crying? I glanced at
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER It's revenge time!
KHEERA I stood still shocked at what she just said,I tried hard to resist the urge to smack her all dolled up face which makes her look like a toy ....a rich toy .Men are just insane ! How could Henry get married to such a toy ? and why did she claim she is Henry when she texted me?"Why did you do that ?". I asked raising my eyebrow at her suspiciously .She smiled and I can't help but get weird and goosebumps feelings from her smile ." That's none of your business .....why did you tell my husband to move next door to your house ?" She asked rudely and I rolled my eyes at her .Ohh now I get it ! She's thinks i'm into her husband ?well can I blame her ? I would have gone wild If I was in her shoes and thankfully I'm not !but she can't talk down at me ,I won't allow that ! " How about you talk with manners young lady? I never asked your husband to move next door plus I'm not interested in him ....not anymore ". I replied and she frowned at me looking really pissed off ." Am I to
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Surprise revenge
HENRY I stared at her as she walk up the stairs ,it's so out of her character not to nag tonight .I wonder she has been since she left the house ....well that's none of my business ,she can go wherever she wants and see whomever she likes .I chuckled as I remembered the conversation I had with her Dad yesterday." Pearl is our only child and she has refused to participate or try to learn anything about the business and I'm obviously not getting any younger ,I need to retire but thankfully she's married to a successful business man like you so I have nothing to worry about ,I'll have my assistant come over to your office in two weeks time so you can merge the company with yours ......" I'm finally going to hit the jackpot ! After the merger between the companies ,I'll file for a divorce so I'll get rid of her and hopefully get kheera back !I turned my face back to the movie i was watching annoyed at what I missed because I was looking and thinking about her. RAYMOND This is the
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Losing everything
KHEERA " What did your friend later do about her issues ?" Tina asked and I rolled my eyes at her. I regret listening to her advice ." she followed your advice and she discovered the guy is with another girl now " I replied eyeing her ." Your friends deserves it .....or should I say you deserve it " she replied smiling shyly at me .How did she know I'm the one ? " How did I know ? It was obvious plus everytime someone needs your opinion on what's happening to their friends it's always what they are going no through but ashamed to admit ".she said as a matter of factedly .I chuckled and replaced it with a frown when I remembered she said I deserved it ." What do you mean by I deserve it ?" . I asked " He'll be a saint not to have someone by now kheera ...but you might be mistaken ". She replied .I rolled my eyes at her ,I know what I saw ..." Kheera ....." I heard a familiar deep husky voice call . I turned to see Raymond in front of my desk .What the heck is he doing here

MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Miracle exists!!!
TRACY Watching them all surround me on the hospital bed made me emotional and I began to cry . They told me stories about how I had been declared dead and been in the bed for over a year before Raymond decided they bury me and all the things that has happened to them . " Stop crying or I'll cry too " David whispered gently and I chuckled lightly. " I thought men don't cry " " He's not a man " Raymond chipped in smiling cheerfully . "Oh how I miss you little brother , I miss you all ". " We missed you to death Tracy ..." DAVID Raymond and kheera left me and Tracy alone to talk .I noticed she got a bit moody when they walked out. " What's wrong ?" " Uhh ? ... nothing". " Tell me what it is " I asked gently cupping her face. She swallowed her saliva gently .... " Are ....are you still single ?" She asked and I gave her a smirk smile . I let out a cold sigh gently and I let go of her house . " I'm ....I'm sorry ...." " I understand , it couldn't have been possibl
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER You wore a biker short to the hospital!
KHEERA" What's going on ?" Raymond asked immediately we got to the doctor's office ." I don't even know how to say this , it's such a miracle because I'm my years of experience as a doctor I have never experienced such a thing "." Enough with the stories doc ....tell me what's going on ?" He asked more impatiently and I nodded ." Your sister just responded to treatment , we got a signal from her brain "." You what ?" I didn't even know when I yelled ." Does that mean she's alive ?" Raymond asked" She's not awake yet ...but that signal technically means she's alive ".Ray and I jumped on each other ." I knew she was not dead , she cannot leave me alone " I pulled him into a hug.I'm happy he didn't listen to us when we told him to allow us bury her , I'm happy he stood strong for his sister ....our sister .***************" I need to call David "" Yes you should " Raymond replied with this excitement that I thought he had lost .DAVIDI smiled immediately I saw kheera's na
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Urgently? What's going?
DAVIDKheera?" I called gently and she smiled ." Are you also being miserable ?" She asked and I sighed ." Also ? Who else is miserable?" " Raymond " I muttered an ohh and I shrugged ." It's expected and she's his sister "" He won't let us bury her David .....he won't let her rest because he believes a miracle is going to happen "." Kheera it's only normal he reacts that way , we both got to know her after she has grown ....they've been together since childhood and she has been more of a parent to him than a sibling so letting go to him is definitely not an option "." I know all that David ...I do , do you think it's easy for me too ? It isn't ! I just wanted to fulfil my last promise to her even though it's so hard ".KHEERAHe kept mute for a while then sighed ." Why don't we just let him decide what he wants to do ....instead of telling him what to do , why don't you just concentrate on making him feel better ?" " What about you ? When are you going to feel better ?" I a
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Unexpected visitor
RAYMONDImmediately she left I knew I shouldn't have reached to her that way so I rushed out to go after her but she already left .I walked back into the room and sat on the floor as tears flowed freely .I miss you Tracy .....there is absolutely nothing I can do without you , just come back .... please ...DAVID" Stop making me dump all these food David ..." I turned to look at Ella who looks frustrated and dissapointed at the same time .I know she hates dumping her cookings , it's like hurting her ego but I just can't bring myself to lift a spoon ." Are you going to take forever to mourn her ?" She asked and I sighed. This is definitely not about mourning her , I miss her like crazy , and I can't just accept the fact that I'll never get to see her again ." Talk to me David ....mum and dad are also worried sick about you especially mum ...."" I'm fine "" Are you ?" " Ella I'm fine and I'll love to be alone ....do I get to have that peace ?" . " Peace ? Sulking and crying
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER I don't need you or anyone here!
RAYMONDThe doctor and I rushed into the ward to find kheera and David crying .My heart flew out of my chest , we were told to stay outside by the doctor who is busy trying to resuscitate her ." She's gone Ray ...she's gone ..." Kheera said amidst tears .David just sat lifelessly on the floor ." She's not dead , she can't be dead ! She cannot die !" I yelled back at her as I feel my insides crumbling .The doctor walked out of the ward looking disheleved. I rushed to him ." How's my sister ? She's fine right ? She just went through a form of attack right?" " Calm down Mr Raymond ...."" Don't tell me to calm down ! Don't you dare !" I yelled and the doctor sighed slowly." She's brain dead Raymond .... she'll never wake up which means she's ......"" It means she's still alive right ?" " Yes ...we can say that because her other organs are fine and can be donated ...."" Donated ? Don't you dare try to give out my sister's organs like a pack of sweets ". " Raymond !" Kheera
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Final breath
TRACY I decided to speak to them one after the other so David left the room and kheera walked in .." Bestie " she greeted cheerfully " Come and sit beside me " I replied patting the space beside me on the bed .She sat gently beside me and I smiled ." I'm good to miss you ...our fights , our fun times , the times I force you to a party , oh my goodness who is going to style you once I'm gone ? I'm sure you are going to have a tough time dressing up like ....."" Why are you saying all these ?" She replied cutting me off ." We both know I'm going to die soon bestie ...."" You are not dying anytime so......" " Let's stop lying to ourselves kheera , let's be realistic at least for the sake of these our private probably last ....talk " .I let out a small laugh .Was this how mother felt back then ? Her face fell immediately and she let out a small sigh." You are crazy ....even in death bestie you are crazy ".I chuckled lightly ." I want you to do me two favours "." If this
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER I feel like I can peacefully close my eyes in death
TRACYI opened my eyes gently and I saw Raymond leaning on the door , kheera and David sat opposite each other fast asleep with my bed in the middle .Each of them holding onto each of my hands .I feel so loved and it made my eyes teary .I placed my hand gently on their two heads like a mother hen trying to protect her children ." Tracy ?" Raymond called surprised and the two of them that were fast asleep jolted up awake .I feel so sorry troubling them like this and making them care too much for me. " The ....the wedding .... I'm sorry ...I ....ruined the wedding ...".My throat hurts and It felels like I haven't talked for years ." Forget the wedding ...how are you feeling ?" David asked worry written all over his face. " How... long have I been asleep?" I asked my voice a little bit clearer although it still hurts ." Five days " kheera replied and I muttered an " oh " .Now I now why it feels as if I haven't opened my mouth in years." Sis ...how are you doing ? How are you
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER That's my man !
DAVIDKheera , Raymond and I sat down outside the emergency ward waiting for the doctor who appeared few minutes later .We all rushed to meet him .My heart stood still frozen ." I'm sure you all know how her heart condition is ?". The doctor asked looking at us for answers and we all nodded ." She had gone through too much stress and that was the reason behind the sudden collapse .... we'll have to get her admitted here and she won't be leaving anytime soon ......". " How is she? I mean right now ? How is she doing ?" I asked ignoring his explanations ." She's stable and she's under control .. she's asleep so you might have to wait a while before going in to see her " . He replied and walked away .I walked lazily to the window of her ward and I stared at how lifeless she looked on the bed .I let out a small laugh at how beautiful she still looks despite her condition ." She looks so beautiful doesn't she ?" I turned to see kheera standing beside me ." Yes she does " " Sh
MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER Impromptu wedding
KHEERAThe impromptu yet super exciting wedding plans started rapidly .Raymond and I decided to honour Tracy's wish to get married on the same day ." Kheera I think peach will make a good colour for our wedding dress ". I smiled gently as she brought me out of my thoughts ." It's not your 15th birthday darling ....who wears a peach colour dress on their wedding ?" I yelled and she glared at me ." Tracy ! Tracy wants to wear a peach dress on her wedding day " " We might have to put on different color of dresses then cause there's no way I'm wearing that colour " She pouted her mouth childishly and I rolled my eyes at her ." That won't make me change my mind bestie ". She threw her hands up in surrender ." So what do we wear them ?" " Anything ......."" Let's wear pe ...."" Asides from peach my darling drop the issue ". " What are the two most important ladies in my life talking about ?". Raymond said immediately he got into the house ." Am I allowed to say that too ?" D
