Tu bilkul chand ki tarah hai noor bhi, gurur bhi , or dur bhi.

After dropping Isha off at her home, Anirudha returned to his own house. As soon as he stepped inside, he was met with the sight of his parents, Sunaina and Rajveer, dressed up and with their bags packed.

"Where are you both going, and that too without telling me?" Anirudha asked, his voice tinged with surprise.

Sunaina, his mother, smiled and replied, "We told you, beta. Niyati, your mama's daughter, is getting married. Did you forget?"

"But her wedding is still two weeks away," Anirudha responded, slightly confused.

Rajveer, his father, chuckled and added, "Wo kya hai na beta, tumhari maa ki mayake ki shaadi hai, to jaldi jaana hoga na. Kya kare biwi ka hukum jo hai."
(The thing is, dear, it's a wedding at your mother's maternal home, so we have to leave early. What can I do? It's your mother's orders.)

"Aap to chup hi rahiye, aapko kitna bola tha, tab ja kar aap taiyaar hue hai jaane ko," Sunaina said with mock anger.
(You stayed quiet. It took so much convincing for you to finally get ready to go.)

Anirudha chuckled at their playful banter.

Sunaina turned to him and continued, "Aur tu Anirudha, maine tujhe jaana bola to tumhe kam se kam phursat hi nahi milti. Anahita ke exams chal rahe hain aur Anuj ko bhi tumne kal koi zaroori kaam de diya."
(And you, Anirudha, I told you to go, but you hardly have any free time. Anahita has her exams, and you gave Anuj an important task yesterday.)

Anirudha raised his eyebrows. "I didn't give him any tasks. Who told you that I assigned him something important?"

Sunaina crossed her arms, frustrated. "But he said he had an important task yesterday, so he couldn't come. I told him many times that Anirudha would handle it, but he insisted, 'No, Mom, I can't leave my work.' If you hadn't given him that task, he would have been ready to go. He never refuses me."

"No, Mom, believe me, I didn't give him any tasks. The watch project is already complete, and it's just in the testing phase. He could have gone if he wanted to," Anirudha said, trying to explain.

Rajveer intervened, "Forget all this; we're getting late. We should leave."

Sunaina sighed in agreement. "Okay, bye beta," she said, giving him a quick hug.

"Okay, bye Maa, Papa," Anirudha replied with a small smile.

With that, they left, and Anirudha was left alone in the house.

He entered his room and carefully placed his laptop and files on his desk, making sure everything was in its place. Feeling the weight of the day, he headed to the bathroom for a cold shower. The cool water helped him clear his mind, and after drying off, he slipped into his night suit, feeling more at ease.

He then walked to his special room, a space where he could be himself. He set up his painting supplies and began working on a new painting. With each stroke, he felt more relaxed, immersed in the process.

Once he finished, he stepped back and gazed at his work. A small smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he admired the painting. In the right corner, he wrote, "My Someone Special, My Moon."

After spending some quiet moments with his art, he decided it was time for dinner. He went downstairs, enjoyed his meal, and then headed to his garden to clear his mind.

As he sat among the plants, the cool evening air surrounding him, he couldn't help but think about everything that had happened that day. He remembered the moments he spent with Isha, the unexpected shopping trip, and the way she had looked in the dresses. A smile played on his lips as the memories brought a sense of peace and warmth to his heart.
