As Kunj waited by the car, he felt another presence enter the Sarna mansion. Within moments, Aryan approached, a familiar face that lifted Kunj's spirits even further. They embraced as brothers do, the weight of unspoken words and shared experiences hanging between them.

Kunj greeted him with a warm embrace, "Kese ho, Aryan Bhai?"

"Bilkul badhiya. Tu bata, kesa hai meri jaan?" Aryan asked, his eyes sparkling with concern.

"Jaisa aap pichli baar chhorkar gaye the, bilkul waisa hi hu" Kunj replied, a grin spreading across his face.

"Pichli baar toh tu devdas bana hua tha. Abhi kisi bhi Angel se tu devdas toh nahi lag raha. Iss khushi ka raaz kya hai, sarna Saheb?" Aryan teased, a playful glint in his eyes.

Just then, Ansh appeared, ready for their outing but paused mid-sentence when he spotted Aryan.

"Chalo main taiyaar..." he trailed off, confusion painting his features.

Aryan pointed, his eyes bright with recognition. "Anshu? Tera anshu?" he said, looking at Kunj for confirmation.

Kunj nodded, pride swelling in his chest as he draped a protective arm around Ansh. "Haan bhai, mera Anshu," he introduced with a voice full of emotion.

Aryan's smile widened, "Kitna bada ho gaya hai ye! Kitna chota sa tha jab aakhri baar isse dekha tha," he said, his voice warm with nostalgia.

Kunj watched with a heartwarming smile, filled with pride and love as Aryan continued, "Accha ji toh ye janab hai tera iss hanste chehere ka raaz?"

Kunj nodded, knowing just how precious this moment was.

" Ashu, ye hai Aryan Bhai, aur bhai ye hai... Anshu, tera Anshu, janta hu main," Aryan continued, extending a hand to Ansh, who hesitantly accepted it, curiosity dancing in his eyes.

Kunj was filled with an infectious energy. "Toh chale fir? Ice humara wait kar rahi hai!" he announced playfully as they climbed into the car. He was wearing a wide grin, his eyes sparkling with excitement, as if the only thing that mattered in the world was the ice cream waiting for them.

Aryan chuckled, leaning back in his seat. "Kyun tune ice cream ko bhi call karke inform kar diya tha kya ki tune aane wala hai?" His teasing tone drew laughter from Ansh, who was seated in the back.

"Aur nahi toh kya! Kisi ke yahan bina bataye nahi jana chahiye," Kunj replied, laughing

The car ride was filled with laughter and chatter, Ansh slowly getting comfortable with Aryan, The banter continued, the Bonding apparent as they made their way to the ice cream parlor.

Upon reaching, Aryan said that he was not particularly a fan of ice cream and opted to stay in the car. "I just have to take this call, you two enjoy!"he waved them off,Kunj and Ansh hopped out, leaving Aryan to take a work call in the car. Kunj walked up to the counter, enthusiasm bubbling over.

As they reached the counter, Kunj leaned in and confidently said, "Ek chocolate aur ek vanilla," before he realized he hadn't even asked Ansh what he wanted. His heart sank slightly as memories of ansh's childhood rushed back-how he always ordered vanilla for Ansh because it was his favorite flavor. But Ansh was no longer the five-year-old boy who loved vanilla; he was growing up, and Kunj had no idea if his son's tastes had changed.
