Hum Deewane Hogaye Hain Aapke!

Chapter: 3

At Night:

The night cast its velvety darkness over the grandiose mansion, nestled amidst lush greenery. Soft moonlight danced across the intricate stone carvings, illuminating the estate's majestic facade. Inside, the bedroom exuded warmth and elegance, with plush carpets, rich wood accents, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Suddenly the phone rang, piercing the silence, Ekansh emerged from the bathroom, wrapping a crisp white towel around his waist. Water droplets glistened on his skin, accentuating his well-defined abs. His raven-black hair was tousled, framing his sharp jawline and piercing gaze.

He picked up the phone, a hint of a smile playing on his lips as he saw Aayansh's name flashing on the screen.

"Hey, buddy!" Aayansh's infectious enthusiasm burst through the line. "What's up, Mr. Busy?"

Ekansh's smile widened. "Just enjoying the peace, unlike someone who's always buzzing with energy."

Aayansh chuckled. "That's me! The life of the party! So, how's life treating the king of Aurum Adornments?"

Ekansh snorted. "You know, just the usual. Trying to keep the empire from crumbling under my exceptional leadership."

Aayansh guffawed, his laughter echoing through the line"You're a genius, Ekansh! A true visionary!"

Their friendly banter flowed effortlessly, each trying to outdo the other in sarcasm and wit.

However, Aayansh's tone shifted to serious. "Hey, Ekansh, What about that Rajat guy?"

Ekansh's expression turned impassive, his voice measured. His jaw clenched subtly, betraying his calm demeanour, "He is in his right place. We'll discuss it elaborately tomorrow when I visit your house."

Aayansh sensed the undertone. "Okay, buddy." He didn't inquire further as he didn't want to stress his bestie.

The conversation lightened again as Aayansh quipped changing the topic, "Mumma and Dadi are missing you. They haven't seen you for one day and are acting like they haven't seen you since the Stone Age!" He said rolling his eyes.

Ekansh raised an eyebrow, a sly smile spreading. "You're just jealous because you know that Anurati Aunty and Dadi love me more than you."

Aayansh retorted, "No, I'm jealous because they love you more than I love you!"

Ekansh shot back, "Stop, you know I'm not into guys."

Aayansh chuckled. "Well, you're not into girls either, bro! When do I get to meet my bhabhi?"

Ekansh laughed. "You won't get one this life."

Aayansh smirked. "My heart says I will, and she'll keep you in check."

Ekansh raised an eyebrow. "Let me correct you, dude – no one can control Ekansh Raichand."

Aayansh rolled his eyes. "Seriously, bro, let's see."

Ekansh challenged, "For sure."

As they wrapped up their conversation, Aayansh said, "Take care, Ekansh."

"You too, buddy."
