Meet Arun, the charming and carefree second son of the Rao family, who has always lived in the shadow of his elder brother, Rohit - the epitome of responsibility and hard work. While Rohit was the dutiful son, shouldering the family's expectations with ease, Arun was the free spirit, often lost in his own world of dreams and desires.
Their parents' pride and joy, Rohit, was the one who had always followed the rules, never deviating from the path laid out for him. Arun, on the other hand, was the rebel, always challenging the norms and pushing boundaries. Despite their differences, the brothers shared an unbreakable bond.
Who is Arun? How will his story end? Is it the same for all the people in love that they never take a risk in fear of losing? Arun's story isn't easy to explain as his life and character are built on many bad decisions and their consequences.
One of those bad decisions would cause Arun's life to take a dramatic turn.

I woke up, tired of the work I had put in for the last few months as a part-timer till 1 am at a cafe. It was almost 8:00 am a typical Mumbai morning, chaotic and frenetic, it was a day I was waiting for.
I heard my mom shouting "It's past 9 Arun, wake up you have your exam today" (JEE engineering entrance exam). Using typical Indian mom's tactics for waking me up by calling out the wrong time. "Past 9, it's only 8 o'clock amma(means mom) and I am actually awake" I shouted from my bed.
