Family dynamics

"It was 7:00 a.m.,
and the Malhotra residence was filled with hustle and bustle and chaos. As usual, Aditya and Arjun were fighting since morning while getting ready for college.

Advait was away on a business trip, and the two boys were doing everything to annoy and irritate Arhaan.

Arhaan was patiently dealing with them, but as he was writing, his patience was wearing thin, and he was on the verge of exploding.
He waited for a good 15 minutes, but then, boom! 'Aditya and Arjun, come in front of me right now!' Both boys flinched at the sound of his voice, knowing it wouldn't be good to test his patience further.
They came before their elder brother, heads down. Arhaan was sweet until it came to his writing, and unfortunately, he was in the middle of it.
'Did you play PlayStation last night during sleeping time?' he asked gruffly."

"Aditya spoke up meekly, 'Yes,' knowing it wouldn't be good to remain silent.
Arhaan asked again, 'You both got up late?'
Arjun timidly replied, 'Yes.'
Arhaan's expression turned stern,
'Did you both know how much chaos you're creating?'
The brothers nodded in unison, giving puppy eyes, hoping to appease their elder brother."

"Arhaan commanded, 'Give me your phones, right now!'
The boys flinched but obeyed.
Arhaan declared, 'No screen time for the next three days!'
The brothers chimed in unison, 'Yes, bhaiyu, sorry, bhaiyu!'
Arhaan instructed, 'Go get ready and meet me at the breakfast table in 5 minutes.'
The boys hurriedly complied, returning with their bags in 5 minutes.
Arjun was visibly upset, not eating properly, still reeling from the fact that Advait was away and the food wasn't up to his standards.
As billionaires, they could afford the finest cuisine, but Advait's cooking was unparalleled, and they all cherished the meals he prepared with love.
Arhaan understood his brother's sentiments and decided to video call Advait."

"Arhaan showed the video call to Arjun, and as soon as Arjun heard Advait's voice, his focus shifted to the phone.
'Hi, bhaiya! I miss you! Come back soon! I don't like food without you... I don't like anything!' Arjun exclaimed, still upset. Bhaiyu also scolded earlier, and bhaii annoyed me, pleading, 'Please come soon!' Both Arhaan and Aditya watched as Arjun continued his antics.
Advait chuckled and spoke to all three of them, encouraging them to eat.
He wished Arjun all the best for his first day of college and reminded Aditya to take care of his younger brother."

"Just as Advait's work was nearing completion, he thought of heading back to the penthouse to pack for his return to Mumbai.
But as he stood up from his chair, his phone rang. He hurriedly answered the call from Mr. Oberoi, his business associate and his father's closest friend, whom he treated like an uncle.
Mr. Oberoi had been a pillar of support during difficult times.
As soon as Advait picked up, Mr. Oberoi's secretary spoke, her voice urgent. 'Mr. Oberoi is in the hospital and wishes to meet you as soon as possible.
He's on his deathbed and can pass away at any moment.
It would be a great comfort if you could please come; it's his last wish.'"

"'He's at City Hospital, and barely has an hour left to live. Please come quickly!'
The secretary's words sent Advait reeling.
He was shocked, to say the least.
He hastily drove to the hospital, his mind racing with thoughts. Upon arrival, he asked the receptionist for Mr. Oberoi's room number and rushed to his side.
It was already noon when he entered the room, filled with machines and IVs. Advait's eyes met Mr. Oberoi's frail form on the bed,
but then, his gaze shifted to a girl, perhaps 25 years old, with a pretty, beautiful, and innocent face. She exuded a sense of peace, and Advait found himself drawn to her calming presence..."

"Mr. Oberoi's weak voice broke the silence.
'Hi, Advait. Thank you for coming. As you can see, I don't have much time left. I want to talk to you, not as Mr. Oberoi, but as an uncle.
She's my daughter, Priya. She's been living in America, which is why you've never met her.
My child, I'm dying, and she has no one beside me.
It was your father's wish, as well as my last wish, that you both get married today.
I want you to protect my daughter, love her, and be her strength.
I know what I'm asking is too much, but trust me, it was all destined.
I was going to speak to you about this after our meeting, but God has other plans. Please promise me that you will take care of her, always be there for her, and always protect her. She's so sweet and gentle for this world...'
