"Sir aapka kab tak yahan baithna ka irada hai ?" his exhausted assistant, amit questions by slightly peeping inside a well maintained cabin. He sternly looks ahead from his laptop screen.

 "Kyun, tujhe mere yahan baithne se takleef hote hai, jakar khatum kar bohut jald, top company ke saath hamare meeting bhi hone hai, I can't put my hard work at stake, understood ?" upsetting him. 

"Office timing khatum .." his mere death glare causes him to vanish in thin air, sighing got back to complete pending work. 

At 8:00pm, sidharth began receiving missed calls from his beloved babe sister reminding him to be back home "main aur arjun kabse intezaar kar rahe hain, kahan gayab ho ?" cursed under his breath "aaj time ka pata nahi chala don't worry main abhi nikalta hoon, thode dair mein pohanch jaunga" assured. 

"Is mein kaunse naaye baat hai aap kaam ke beech duniya ko bhool jaate ho" taunts annoying him "look whose talking !" sarcastically, replied. 

"Bhaiiii, stop targeting me !" defensively, told. 

"Aap jaise hardworking aur focused nahi hoon" genuinely, mentioned. 

"Don't say that .. meri chote behan .. equally passionate aur serious hai apne kaam ko lekar maybe hamare khoon mein hai, kyun arjun ?" totally aware of his presence since both are always found together "of course, hamare khoon mein hai aur aap sabse bade inspiration ho" snatching phone, praised him. 

"Alright, now stop buttering me up and cook something to eat, I will be there within 30 minutes, okay ?" agreeing, decided to make roti and aloo ki sabzi. 

"Theek hai, come soon !" after disconnecting, quickly wraps up and proceeds to witness his assistant sleeping on couch, shaking head, woke him up "aunty yaar please wahan khadoos boss sukoon se jeene nahi daita aur yahan aap ... sone nahi daite .. kuch dino .. mein rent ke paise de dunga" irritatedly, replied  misunderstanding him to his landlord, knocking at his door for reminding the dates of rent "abey, saale uth main tere aunty nahi khadoos boss hoon !" says by throwing jug of water due to which jolted up in astonishment. 

"So .. soo .. sorry sir .. galati se aankh lag gaye thi" he stammers, looking every where except sidharth, cursing himself for sleeping and disrespecting his boss. 

"Tujhe rule book yaad haina ?" he worriedly, nodded. 

"G meri chudail landlord haina, mere ko sone nahi daite, jab dekho mahine ki aakhir ko saala paisa maangte hai jaise mein kahin bhaag raha hoon" sounds, irritated "chod de .. dusre jagah shift hoja !" walking out, accompanied by him. 

"Dhoondh raha hoon, aapko pata haina mumbai jaise bade shehar main acha saaf aur saasta ghar mil na kitna mushkil hai ?" understanding, nods his head. 

"Right, tension mat le .. ladke log ko puch .. tere liye intezaam hosakta hai ya nahi .. main bhi check karke bataunga" his personality, sweet and very much grounded, usually prefers to conceal rather than showing openly. He doesn't care what people talk behind his back none of their certificate ever mattered. 

"Thank you, bohut pareshaan karte hai !" remembering, her constant moves everything to make his survival difficult. 

"Koi baat nahi, tujhe ghar chod doon ?" pulling keys out of his pocket. 

"Nahi, meri bike bann gaye hai !" delightfully, showing him. 

"Jab tak kharab thi, aap ne mere ko drop kiya jiske liye bohut shukriya" bike had been taken to nearby workshop for repairing. 

"It's okay" passing a lip tight grin settled inside and drove towards home.

He couldn't stop himself from recalling his struggling days, watching amit is literally pushing him to golden memories because living in mumbai is costly, everything from renting a room or bed space to handling groceries. It hasn't been an easy journey, a complete roller coaster ride with numerous ups and downs quite an inspirational one for his siblings. 

Although, his secretary isn't managing pressure of studies yet watching him dealing with pathetic landlord and tension of handling nearby competitions clouds in various memories. It does bring a satisfying grin, on his handsome face, why not, after all he successfully managed to escape hurdles. 

Presently, reach where he is however struggle of achieving success is never gonna end. It'll keep growing until a person strives to attain his or her goals reaching home, rang door bell, as always welcomed by super active arjun. 

"Hello bhaiiii, kaise hain aap aur aaj ka din kaisa tha ?" 

"How many deals have you cracked ?" 

"Gosh you know, I cracked one hell of a fucking deal !" 

"Sia is literally burning under jealousy !" earning hard kick on his back such responsible siblings at work place yet entirely opposite at home, especially around their elder brother "kutta, kamina .. bhaiiii you won't believe, arjun used his dirty tricks to persuade that fucking foreigner" shouted. 

"Shut up, bhaiii I swear aap mera presentation dekha na" innocently, she is shaking head, gesturing her elder brother to disbelieve him.  

"Calm down, pehle paani pee lao phir discussion continue karna" arjun got water while accusing sia for being senseless "bakwaas mat kar samjha bhai knows kisne shuru kara saans laine tak nahi de aur complaints chalo" 

"Tu waise bhi unke samne rona rote zayada bichare mat bann" after setting table eagerly waits for him to arrive since he had dispersed to freshen up. 

"Finally bhai .. aapko pata maine zayada ache banaye thi .. is kutte ne usko apne flirtatious bataun mein phasaya, don't you think, it's cheap ?" 

"Well, company ko deal mil gaye right ?" arjun instantly, nodded. 

"Fiada tum dono ko huwa kyunke tum dono us project se connected ho, so siya beta it doesn't matter ke usne kya dekh kar arjun se agree kiya, ur hard work has eventually paid off .. you got chance to present .. I'm proud of you success mil na .. na mil na .. baad ki baat hai .. koshish zaroori hai tune kare maybe tere luck mein nahi tha but you should be happy" holding hand, she knew her brother will make her feel better and help her stand .... if she ever feels dejected "don't forget, end of the day, success of ur company matters. 

"Your individual achievements are important too lekin bache ek failure ki wajah se low feel karna doesn't make any sense ?" she agreed. 

"Aaj uska din tha kal ko tera hoga, never lose hope, kaunsa company bandh horahe hai tere ko phirse chance milega to beat him" winks, she hugs him. 

"I love you bhai 🤗" she emotionally, confessed. 

"I love you more, kya ab khanna mil sakta hai ?" she served him. 

"Nobody loves me !" heard her twin's upsetting tone. 

"Shut up, I ordered your favourite cake !" she replied, twisting lips. 

"Your the best twin !" dramatically, sendinf flying kiss. 

"Your a loser !" sidharth laughs enjoying their arguments.
