Love Bites and Laughter

Next dayAfter the mechanic had finally set the car right, Aryan dropped Anjali off at her house. She waved him goodbye with a soft smile, and he couldn't help but feel the warmth of the night they'd shared still lingering in the air. The drive back to his house was quiet, but his mind was loud with thoughts of Anjali.

As Aryan entered his house, ready to head to his room and get some much-needed rest, he was met by none other than Aahan, who stood near the stairs, staring at him suspiciously.Aahan's gaze flickered to Aryan's neck, and his eyes widened comically. 

"Bhai!" he gasped, pointing at Aryan's neck where, unbeknownst to Aryan, a faint mark was visible."ye love bite hai(is this love bite)?"

Aryan froze for a second, caught off guard, but before he could say anything, Aahan's smirk grew wider, and he bolted towards their mother's room.

"Maaa!" Aahan yelled dramatically as he barged into the room.

Aryan rushed after him, "Aahan, stop! Don't you dare—"

But it was too late. Aahan was already spilling the beans with his dramatic face.

"Maa da ladla bigad gya"

Their mother looked up, startled. "What on earth is going on? Why are you two acting like this first thing in the morning?" she asked, her eyes darting between the two brothers.

""Maa, big bro is—" Before Aahan could finish, Aryan quickly covered his mouth, his eyes wide in panic.

Their mother glanced at them, her eyebrow raised, clearly curious about the sudden interruption. Aryan gave her a nervous smile, while muffled sounds escaped from Aahan, who was struggling to free himself from Aryan's grip.

"Aryan, kya ho raha hai?(Aryan whhat's happening)" their mother asked, her voice calm but tinged with suspicion.

Aryan, still holding Aahan, forced a laugh. "Kuch nahi, Maa! Aahan bas kuch random bakwas kar raha tha, jaise hamesha." He loosened his grip slightly, hoping his little brother wouldn't spill anything.

But Aahan, always the mischief-maker, took the opportunity to wriggle free.

 "Maa, big bro was—" Aryan panicked again and pinched Aahan's arm, causing him to yelp and change the subject immediately. "—was about to say you're looking extra beautiful today!"

Their mom narrowed her eyes, clearly not buying it, but smiled at the compliment anyway.

 "Aahan, tu bhi na... tum dono ke natak kabhi khatam nahi hote."

Aryan sighed in relief, while Aahan rubbed his arm, shooting Aryan a playful glare. "Yeh abhi bhi bacha hai," Aryan muttered, shaking his head.

After some time, Aryan finally picked up his phone and dialed Anjali's number. The event from the previous night still lingered between them, making his heartbeat quicken just at the thought of hearing her voice again.
