Inside malik mansion-

The sun rose over the grand Malik mansion, casting a warm glow over the furnishings and lavish decor.

Ahaan, the eldest, began his day with a  workout, his muscles flexing as he lifted weights in his personal gym in the basement.

Meanwhile, Umer in his room groggily reached for his phone to shut off the alarm. But, unable to resist the comfort of his bed, he snuggled back under the blankets and drifted off to sleep again.

It was 7:00 a.m.

Ahaan, already dressed and ready for the day, walked to Umer's room and knocked twice on the door. Receiving no response, he knew his brother was still asleep. Ahaan, a stickler for punctuality and discipline, always sleeps and wakes up on schedule, and expects the same from Umer. However, Umer, a medical student with a demanding schedule, oftens sleeps at 3:00 a.m. and wakes up at noon during holidays.

"Bhaiya, Baat sune," Umer said.

"What's up, Umer? Ahaan asked.

"It's about Mehmood, my bodyguard", Umer's said with annoyance.

"I can't take it anymore, Bhaiya. I feel like a child with a nanny always hovering around."

"Umer, mehmood is there for your protection. You know that." He replied calmly

"Protection from what? Mai bacha nahi hu Bhaiya. I can take care of myself. And besides, my friends tease me all the time about having a bodyguard. It's embarrassing." Umer's frustration boiled over it was evident because he was tired and grumpy as he didn't slept well

"Umer, your safety is my top priority. I can't just fire mehmood because you're feeling embarrassed. What if something happens to you? And mind your tone don't forget whom you're speaking with". Ahaan's eyes locked onto his
