Married to my Brother in law. In love with his Brother (CH 86 Early Access)

Still catching your breath, my sinners?
The storm may have passed… but its echoes cling to every wall of this haveli. ✨

💧 Munni’s tears drying, Rita’s guilt trembling at the edges,
and Rajveer—softening in ways no one expected—
tonight, the silence speaks louder than the shouting ever did.

So tell me—

😈 What’s more dangerous… the storm that breaks you,
or the quiet that makes you feel?

Step softly now.
This calm has claws.

✨ Chapter 86: Storm Doesn’t Last Forever

The storm inside the haveli had not yet passed—but for the first time since morning, the corridors felt… softer.

Munni’s cries had finally faded into small, shaky sniffles that clung to the air.

Rita had taken her away to wash her face, her own palms trembling.”

Rajveer and Meenal finally stepped out of the room, both carrying the weight of too many truths but wrapped in a fragile, shared warmth.

Aditya lingered nearby, awkward and stiff, as if unsure where to stand in the new silence.

“Thakur Shahab…” Meenal murmured gently, "You need water. Let me get you some.”

Rajveer blinked as if he hadn’t realized he was parched.
“I… yes. Maybe.”

Aditya immediately stepped forward.
“I’ll get it.”

Rajveer raised a single eyebrow—sharp, warning, unimpressed.

Aditya froze mid-step.

“…Right,” he muttered, scratching the back of his head. “I’ll… just stand here. Like a pillar.”

Meenal bit back a smile.

Rajveer’s lips twitched too.

Just a little—but enough.

They walked toward the courtyard, the evening air cool against their faces. Fragrant smoke from the kitchen drifted toward them—tadka, roasted cumin, and hot ghee.

After everything, that smell felt like home.

Suddenly—

SPLASH!
