Location : Rahi Mansion (Chaotic Morning)

The sunlight filtered through the cream-colored curtains, casting a warm glow across the long dining table. The fragrance of freshly brewed coffee, buttered parathas, and spicy chutney filled the air. It should've been a peaceful morning... should've.

At the head of the table sat Arjun, flipping through the newspaper with a calm expression — or at least trying to. Beside him, Arohi gracefully served juice into glasses, her eyes already catching the brewing storm.

At the far end, Abhi and Aru sat facing each other like two arch-nemeses from a cartoon. Anu, sandwiched between them, looked like he regretted waking up today.

Aru (Whining)– "Bhaiyu main bol raha hu retro theme hi final kar dena chahiye."

Abhi (In mocking tone)– "Best friend kiski hain dear Arujii??"

Aru (glaring) – "Meri bhi di hain who bhaiyu. Aap mera hak mujhse nahi cheen sakate. I am protesting against it."

Abhi (non-interested tone) – "Do you think its going to bother me. Theme Masquerade Ball hi hoga. No more discussion."

Aru (Whining) – "Main chota hu bhaiyu! My opinion matters."

Abhi (Non interested tone) – "Tu yeh chotta rehena ka card mujhpar mat chala. Bhaiya aur Bhabhi teri iss not so bholi shakal ke liye fasate honge main nahi."

He pointed towards Arjun and arohi who in return raised their eyebrows.

Aru (shouted looking towards Arjun)– "Bhaiyaaaaaa!!!!!"

Arjun shook his head – "Tum dono jiska birthday hain usko kyu nahi poochate??"

Aru – "Akshu di ke liye surprise hoga na bhaiya."

Abhi – "Aur phir uske kaan aur ankhe dono billi ki tarah tej hain..zarasa bhi shak huana toh phir usko sambhalna mushkil ho jayega."

Aru – "Hum retro theme hi rakhenge warna main di ko bol dunga ki aap unke baremein aisi baat kar rahe the."

Abhi – "Yeh baat tu apne pea size dimaag se nikal de aru. Agar tune usse batane ki koshish bhi ki na toh bhul jaa main tera bhiayu hu."

Aru – "Theek hain!"

Abhi looking towards arjun in betrayed tone – "Kya yaar bhaiya. Yeka aisa kyu hain? Zara bhi pyaar nahi karta mujh se."

Saying he hugged Anu who was looking at them Like a referee about to call a foul.

Abhi noticing his gaze – "Kya hua aise kyu dekh raha hain?"

Anu – "Aap sach mein 26 years ke ho?"

Abhi with confused expression – "Haan kyu?"

Anu now with amused expression – "Kaise kar lete ho yeh sab aap?"

Abhi (Clueless) – "Kya kar leta hu main?"

Anu – "Aap jaisa innocence aur nautanki ka combo toh kindergarten mein bhi nahi milta!"

Before abhi could reply him, Aru started to laugh. He was laughing like maniac.

Aru still laughing – "Wahhh baby bro!! Kya combo Rakha hain tune – andar se LKG ka student, bahar se full Bollywood ka item!"

Abhi was glaring at both of them but Anu again said with smirk on his face – "Aap toh woh ho jo background music ke bina bhi overacting kar lein."

Now its abhi's turn to control his laugh which surely he not gonna try to control.
