It was evening when Anay entered the house, done with his shift.
Aarav came running down seeing his bhaiyu, back home.

" Aaru subh hi tuh mile the ? " Anay says.

" Bus mera mood tha mene keh diya , ab jaldi kahi you missed me back " Aarav says.

" I missed you too baccha " Anay says planting a kiss on his forehead.

" Hame miss Kiya ? " Two voices can be heard.

Aarav breaks the hug and looks around to find Ritvik and Radhika standing there smiling at him. Aarav ran and hugged them.

" Agaye aap log , chalo jaldi sab wait kar rahe hai " Aarav says and drags them to the hall.

The hall was transformed into a warm and inviting sanctuary, perfect for a cozy night stay with friends. Soft, golden lighting spilled from table lamps and floor lamps, casting a warm glow over the room.

Plush throw blankets in rich, autumnal hues were draped over the backs of comfortable sofas and armchairs, which were arranged in a cozy circle around a crackling fireplace. The fireplace was surrounded by a decorative stone hearth, where a few favorite books and board games were stacked.

The coffee table was laden with an assortment of sweet and savory treats, including bowls of popcorn, plates of cookies, and a cheese and charcuterie board. A few favorite beverages, including hot chocolate and wine, were chilling in a nearby ice bucket.

In one corner of the room, a projector screen was set up, with a few favorite movies and TV shows queued up and ready to go. A few cozy throw pillows and blankets were scattered around the room, inviting everyone to get comfortable and settle in for a relaxing night.

As the friends and family gathered in the hall, the atmosphere was filled with laughter, chatter, and the warm, fuzzy feeling of being surrounded by good friends and good times. The night was young, and the cozy night stay was just getting started.
