A promise: That changed my life

Karan
After freshening up, I wore my most expensive yet favorite suit for the important meeting, I have given the best impression today.
I made my way to the living room finding, Daniel, Kaya, and one more unknown guy with them whereas Daniel was almost
glaring at him.
"Who is he, your brother?" Daniel asked Kaya.
I fake cough to get their attention on me, they move their head towards my direction slowly, giving me a small smile.
"What's going on here?" I asked them.
"Karan, you didn't tell me that you've one more brother," Daniel says, indicating to that unknown guy.
I shook my head, denying, "No, I don't know him either must be Kaya's friend," I stated in the matter of fact since she is standing
next to him so closely it could be her boyfriend too.
Kaya nodded, "Yes, Karan bro, this is Jay, my college friend, " she introduced us as we shaken hands.
"Nice to meet you, Karan brother, Kaya has said so many things about you," Jay said with a grin.
"Really? I hope good, " I replied, amused. This guy seems nice.
"Brother...Jay is going to drop me at the college today, if you have no problem, " Kaya trails.
And from behind Daniel was signaling me to say no that of course, I don't get why, why is he behaving strangely today? I cock
my brow at him in confusion.
"Okay, no problem, just go safely," I replied, and Danny facepalmed himself, annoyed.
"Thanks, bro," Kaya said, giving me a side hug, "Jay, why don't you have breakfast at my home till then I will get fresh," She
added.
He looks at her, thinking, "Is it fine?" He asks.
She nods, "Yes, why not,"

"Then, Karan bro, are you also joining for breakfast, right? I will be glad if I can get some motivation tips from a billionaire, " He
says, shyly.
I was about to reply to his kind gesture when Dan interrupted, "He's a billionaire he has important meetings to handle, so he
doesn't have time for breakfast, "
I stared at Danny for a moment in shock, I seriously didn't expect this from him, this is the first time he has spoken like this. So
rudely.
"Please, brother, stay for breakfast, if you'll go 10 minutes late to the office, it ain't gonna stop your meeting, is it?" Kaya pleads,
requesting me as she eye signals me that she likes Jay, "Please bro,"
I sighed, grinning, "Alright if you say, "
"Thank you again!" With that, she quickly ran upstairs to her room.
"After you, " Jay said to me, I nodded, walking when Danny pulled me back.
"Can we talk?" He asks me as Jay gives us a confused look before saying.
"No worries, I will wait in the dining room, " He said, leaving us alone.
I turned towards Danny with my best questioning glare ready.
"What is wrong with you, Danny??" I questioned.
"What is wrong with me?" He repeats, "I am completely fine! You are the one who is ignoring this," he retorts.
I cocked my brow, "Ignoring what?"
"That Jay, "
"He seems like a nice guy, Dan, " I told him, not getting what he exactly wants to say.
He sighed with a bit of frustration.
"From which angle? Karan, don't you see the way he was smirking at me?"

I furrowed my brows, "Does he even look at you?" I asked, sarcastically but with the fact that Jay was either looking at me or
Kaya.
He shakes his head in complete annoyance, "I am serious, Karan, I don't get good vibes from him, "
"And why is that?"
"I don't know, but you shouldn't let Kaya hang out with him much, I can guarantee you that he'll hurt her, " He stated, pissed off.
"Dan, Kaya is my sister, no one can even think of hurting her, plus why are you so concerned about her?"
"Because I like-" He instantly changes his last word, "I think I should, "
I put my hand on his shoulder, sighing, "Do you remember, Dan?"
"What?"
"You once told your sister Elle when she had a sweet crush on me, that she shouldn't hang out with me because I am a bad
influence on her? Even though I wasn't but you were jealous of me that's why you tried to brainwash her."
He scratches his head in utter confusion, as he nods, "Yeah, so?"
"If you're still feeling the same brotherly love yet concern for Kaya, then you better not because her another most caring brother
which is me is still alive to see her good and bad, " I stated, noticing his expression suddenly changed into shock yet anger.
"No! I am not her brother, it's just that-" I cut him off.
"It's just that you are jealous of Jay because Kaya is bestowing her interest more to him than you." His face shows that I hit his
nerve, I was right he likes Kaya, "Can I know what's going on in your head?" I still asked, wanting to know everything from his
mouth.
And he was about to respond when Kaya's voice took our attention, "Brother, why are you still here?" She asked, looking at us,
baffled.
"We're about to go," I replied as Danny avoided mine and Kaya's eyes.
"Okay, let's go together then," She said, leading us to the dining room where I saw Jay was bored, waiting for us.

"I thought you guys won't show up today, " Jay spoke.
"I am sorry for keeping you waiting, " I apologize, he nodded, smiling, I mirrored his expression, we sat down at the table where
Danny just suddenly left, without uttering any single word.
