"Na chupa paaoge tum,
aanson itne denge.

Dard banke ham tumhare
zehen mai utrenge"

As Aarav prepared for another day at the office, his mind was already occupied with thoughts of the impending chaos that his new personal assistant was bound to unleash. Despite the foreboding sense of trouble, he maintained a facade of confidence, convinced that he could navigate through the challenges without letting anyone else in on the turmoil brewing within.

After meticulously grooming himself and donning his professional attire, Aarav descended the staircase, his steps echoing softly in the spacious foyer of his elegant home. As he approached the dining area, the aroma of freshly prepared breakfast filled his senses, mingling with the warmth of family togetherness that enveloped the room.

There, at the table, sat his entire family, each immersed in their morning rituals with content smiles adorning their faces. He looks at all of their happy faces and thinks that this time no one can steal their smiles or hurt them at any cost.

While he was daydreaming standing beside the stairs, Aparna takes him out of his dreamland and calls him to come over the table to have breakfast with everyone.

"Kiske khayalon mai khoya hua tha beta"
( In whose thoughts my is son lost at?)

"Nai maa wo bas kaam ka tension hai thoda"
(No mom, it's just some stress due to work)

" Aree sach sach bolo na bhai Ryka ke baare mai soch rhe the" teased Aadarsh
( Just tell the truth brother, you were thinking about Ryka)

"Chup kar tu jab dekho apne bade bhai ko pareshan karta rehta hai"
( Shut up, every time you just keep troubling your elder brother)

"Kya maa aap bhi hamesha Aarav bhai ka side leti ho, kabhi apne is kohinoor chote bete ka bhi side liya kro" ( Mom, why do you always take Aarav Bhai's side, sometimes take the side of this Kohinoor younger son of yours too)

"Kohinoor ya Dhriti ka hoor" Aarav whispered but Aadarsh heard it. ( Kohinoor or Dhriti's love)

"Kya kya bola aapne"
( What did you say)

"Kya suna tune"
(What did you hear)

"Kuch nhi"
(Nothing)

"Toh maine bhi kuch nhi bola"
( So I didn't say anything either)

The whole family laughed at the cute banter of both the brothers. With a contented sigh, Aarav rose from the breakfast table and made his way to the sleek black Porsche parked in the driveway.

The engine roared to life as Aarav settled into the driver's seat, the leather upholstery embracing him in luxury. The car purred as he navigated through the quiet streets, the morning sunlight streaming through the windshield, casting golden rays across his path. Each turn of the wheel felt effortless, the Porsche responding to his slightest touch with precision and grace.
