The duo of Max and Rudra Rajput drove for the first 5 minutes in absolute silence after dropping the girlfriend off.
Rudra let Max contemplate his fate for a long time until Max attempted to break the ice when he said " Sorry... "
Rudra threw a sideglance to his brother , he was extremely sheepish and awkward. Seeing this Rudra felt better about his initial decision of not scolding Max too much as the kid had clearly done this out of impulse.
He said " So.... Glenfiddich eh? "
Max's eyes widened in shock when he heard this , he thought he had disposed off the whiskey bottle completely and even eaten 3 packs of mints after that. There was no way his brother should know about it right?
His panic increased as he hung his head even lower in shame. He expected Rudra to absolutely evicerate him now and take away his privilages , however he never expected to hear what Rudra said next.
Rudra said " What a coincidence eh Max, my first one was whiskey too. Ofcourse we were not rich enough to buy a Glenfiddich then , so i had to settle with a Jack Daniels but boy did I love it!
I was a weak drinker had no-one to teach me too , i did it in our bathroom , drunk 2 pegs then became too scared of the lingering smell and emptied the rest of the bottle in the toilet.
Haha your brother was a wuss".
Max blinked several times as he looked at Rudra, he offered nothing as a reply.
Rudra continued " I always wanted your first time to be with me.... I had planned it for your 18th birthday.
Actually no.... Not just me , me and dad both.
When i turned 18 uk , dad called me to his room and opened a bottle of Jameson whiskey as he poured me a peg and said " From today we are friends " , in his hoarse voice ofcourse, haha , but it was a beautiful memory for me.
We talked about how we both would do the same on your 18th one.... But here you are at 16 , drinking alcohol with girls..."
Max felt like he was choking on his own saliva as tears rolled down his cheeks, he knew that Rudra cared for him a lot, he knew that since he was a 1 year old baby who could not even discern emotions. His big brother was always there to protect him.
Rudra said " Since dad and mom are no longer here don't you think us brothers should watch each other's backs? I mean who else is left to be called family eh Max?".
Max nodded his head as his sobbing intensified. He knew Rudra was saying the truth.
Rudra continued " I met your sister in law when i was 24.... Married her at 26 , nearly 9 months after i bedded her.
I'm not saying having girlfriend at 16 is wrong.... I'm not saying it's right , I'm not judging u for having sex either.
But listen to me maxy, say u get her pregnant at 16.... Let's just assume that u do , what happens when u have a son at age 16?
U will be at the prime of your life at 20-27 , do u want to handle with a kid undergoing puberty during that time? Changing diapers , worrying about education?
Or do u want to be a negligent parent who doesn't care if his son lives or dies or does drugs?
There is a time and a way of doing everything. Just like you cannot work in a construction site without a helmet , just like you cannot drive a car without a seatbelt, you cannot have sex without a condom.
I know you did it raw yesterday and idk if u pulled out or not , but either way it's just dumb you know.... ".
Max felt horrified at the thought of having a son at 16 years of age. It would mean that at 20 he would need to be providing for a 4 year old when it would be the real time for him to start grinding and making his place in the world.

He was not Rudra, he did not have a stable income , nor did he have a legacy to lean on. This was indeed immature of him.....
Rudra noticed Max's expressions carefully as he was satisfied with the shame on his face. Smiling Rudra said " The girl is pretty.... What's her name?".
In a meek voice Max replied " D-dana "
Rudra nodded as he said " Dana seems older than u Max, are you into older women? ".
Max hesitated for a second before coming clean" She-she was the only one ready to do the lewd stuff with me.... ".
Rudra understood Max's situation very well , the other woman was after Max's money , technically his own money and had no interest in Max, however Rudra did not want to show this cruel side of the world to Max this early.
Rudra asked " So how popular are you Max? "
Rudra asked this as a joke, he wanted to make fun of his little brother, but Max's reply shocked him a lot.
Max said " I am the youngest and fastest passout of the Elites academy, have a following of 63 million on the forums, I'm hailed as the next big thing by the news channels and have signed a 25 million dollar deal with dewdiepie to film my first day in Omega with him.
Im a self-made millionaire at 16, my combat teacher in martial arts is sir Jhonny English and my physique Is rated 9/10 by the men's fashion magazine.
Add it to the fact that my brother is the biggest thing in Omega, I'd say I'm very popular.. ".
Rudra accidentally slammed the breaks when he heard this.... All this was a little too ridiculous for him !
Since when was Max soo op? Compared to himself at 16 , there was no comparison at all!
Self-made millionaire at 16? He had to use his reincarnation cheat to make his millions for moms treatment, and here Max is being offered millions just to stream his day1?
Where was the fairness in the world? How was he to scold such a successful kid? Since when was Jhonny his teacher? How much more of Max's life did he not know about....
Rudra swallowed a mouthful of saliva and understood that he was better off spending the day getting to know his brother better. He said " What do you want to eat? "
Max replied " Icecream"
Rudra bursted laughing as he drove towards the icecream truck in the upside.
That day the duo talked a lot about life and Omega and the future of mankind as Rudra was able to bond with max like an adult for the first time in his life.
It was a refreshing feeling for both men as Max was driven into a positive direction. However one of Max's statements bothered Rudra a lot. Which was when Max said " But i can never catch upto your legacy big brother , the empire you have built is so tall! I have not even started to play Omega yet but i feel pressured from the world to live upto the Rajput name.... It's too much pressure ! "
Rudra worried about this statement, as it made him feel like Max was dissapointed to be born a Rajput.
In his heart Rudra wanted nothing more but for Max to outshadow everything he had built. The empire that he had made was for the whole of rajput family to enjoy, and in his mind it was naturally going to be Max's once he retired.
But since it was a matter for the far future , Rudra let it slide for the moment.
