The door creaked open, revealing a sight that made Manik do a double take. Mr. Rathore, the epitome of formal attire, stood before him in a completely different guise. Gone were the sharp suits and crisp ties, replaced by a pair of well-fitting dark jeans and a denim shirt that accentuated his broad shoulders.

The businessman's hair, usually meticulously styled, was now tousled in a way that spoke of a carefree spirit.
"Mr. Rathore?" Manik stammered, his voice laced with surprise. "What… what are you wearing?"
A sheepish grin spread across Mr. Rathore's face. "Actually, Manik," he said, his voice surprisingly warm, "call me Ansh from now on. Consider it a token of apology for yesterday."
Manik's cheeks flushed slightly. "Oh, about that," he mumbled, guilt twinging at him. "I overreacted. You were just trying to help."
Ansh held up a hand, dismissing his apology. "No worries at all. It made me realize I may have been a bit… overbearing. So, I thought, why not give you a taste of the real Rajasthan, the freedom you craved?"
Manik's eyes widened. "You mean… you'll take me exploring?"
Ansh, or rather, Ansh for the moment, chuckled. "Not exactly 'take you,'" he corrected. "Think of it as… two friends discovering the wonders of this beautiful state together. How does that sound?"
Manik couldn't help but smile. This was unexpected, a side of Mr. Rathore – Ansh – he hadn't seen before. A hint of adventure sparked in his eyes.
"Sounds amazing," he admitted, a genuine grin splitting his face. "Just give me fifteen minutes to get ready, and I'm all yours… Ansh."
Ansh's smile widened, crinkling the corners of his eyes. "Excellent," he said, his voice brimming with enthusiasm. "I'll wait in the living room."
With a nod, Manik closed the door, leaning against it for a moment. His heart pounded a strange rhythm against his ribs. This casual, carefree Ansh was a dangerous combination of handsome and charming. He caught himself staring at his reflection in the mirror, a blush creeping up his neck as he imagined leaning in and…
"Stop it, Manik!" he scolded himself, shaking his head to clear the inappropriate thoughts. He needed to focus on the adventure, the freedom Ansh was offering. Maybe, just maybe, this unexpected turn of events would lead him to rediscover not just his music, but a part of himself he thought was lost forever.
