Closeness

Parth's frown disappeared but the confusion and his doubts were still there. 'Brother? Fought her relatives? What the hell is happening? And why the hell is he not a part of it?' He was irritated by all his questions. But the first thing that he wanted to know was... 

"She called you her elder brother? On her own?" He asked.

"Well she didn't call me brother, but yeah in front of her relatives, she did accept me as her elder brother. And I am sure soon she will call me brother too." Mike excitedly answered him

Even the thought of hearing Nora calling him brother, simply excites Mike a lot. Being an only child like Parth, he never heard someone calling him brother. His cousin didn't matter to him much as he always lived outside. They rarely even interacted, let alone have some bond of love or care. 

Mike was impatient for that bond with Nora, but knowing her he also knew that he can't act hastily.
