Day-1

Netra opens the door to the farmhouse, revealing a serene and quiet environment just outside the city. The farmhouse, surrounded by a few other houses and shops at a distance, seems like a perfect place. Neel and Malang stand awkwardly, greeted by the excited atmosphere.

Netra, with joy in his voice, announces, "This is your home sweet home for thirty days, boys. This is my second house. On the ground floor, there are my packed stuff, and the first-floor room is empty and clean. So that's yours."

Neel, curious, asks, "But Netra, again I am asking, was there any need to shift to this place? I mean, we could stay at my place."

Ishan teases and explains, "Because this house is new for both of you, so it gives you guys equal vibes to stay. I mean, what if Malang feels like it's your house, so he has to adjust to your unwanted drama."

"That's a smart move, Netra. I appreciate it," Malang replies.

Neel jokes, "Baby spoke his first word, guys," teasing Malang.

"He is your baby for a month, dude. Enjoy, guys," Arhan says to Neel, making a cute face.

Netra reassures them, "Water, fridge, stove, everything is working fine, so chill. Now it's all yours."

Arhan hugs Malang and then holds Neel's hand, saying, "Please take care of my boy. He is your responsibility." Neel throws Arhan's hand away, laughing at his friend's fake crying face.

"Bye, guys. Enjoy. We will keep coming. Take care," everyone says their goodbyes, giving hugs before leaving. The farmhouse is now their temporary home for the next thirty days, and the adventure begins.

Neel and Malang enter the ground floor room, which is currently filled with Netra's packed belongings, giving it a museum-like atmosphere. The furniture is covered with white cloth, creating a somewhat nostalgic vibe.

Neel playfully teases Malang, "So this is the place where you will cook for us," raising his eyebrows and smirking.

Malang responds with a smile, "And this is the place where you will cut vegetables and wash dishes."

Neel appreciates Malang's quick comeback, and they decide to organize their room on the first floor. Climbing the wooden-furnished ladder, they open the door to a beautiful, wooden-themed room with a king-size bed, a big cupboard, a bookshelf, and a small table with a drawer and a night lamp.

Neel expresses his admiration, saying, "This room is damn beautiful, dude."

Malang agrees, "Yes, the outside scenery is just wow, and these wooden designs make it feel like we are living in a treehouse."

After a moment of appreciation, Neel suggests, "Let's unpack."

Malang proposes a plan for organizing the cupboard, and Neel jokingly asks if it's an order. Malang clarifies and politely suggests that Neel can choose if he's not comfortable, but Neel responds with laughter, telling Malang to take the right side.

As they unpack, Malang notices the difference in their packing styles. Malang's clothes are neatly packed, while Neel's are casually thrown into two divisions. Malang teases Neel, mentioning the earlier comment about not being a good roommate.

After organizing the cupboard, Malang looks at the bookshelf and picks up a book—Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare. Neel teases him about being a bookworm and warns him not to cry at night after reading sad love stories.

Malang reassures Neel that he knows how to handle emotions and suggests they go grab some food. Neel questions Malang's ordering tone, to which Malang laughs and explains it's just his way of talking with friends. They decide to freshen up before heading out to buy food. The banter between Neel and Malang adds a touch of humor to their new living arrangement.
