Aniket opened his cupboard to take out some files when his eyes fell on the guitar he had kept securely. It was his very first guitar. He took it out and smiled while caressing it. His first song came out of those broken strings, which had weaved magic once.

"Yeh lo, Bhaiyu toh apni first girlfriend ke saath hai."

Aryan's voice came through.

Ayaansh chuckled as he walked inside with Aryan. Aniket smiled at him. "Aaja, wahan kyun khada hai."

As soon as Ayaansh entered and looked around, he was startled to see so many music instruments. There wasn't only guitar but a lot of other instruments as well. He was fascinated looking at them.

"Itne saare instruments, Bhaiyu?" He asked in amusement.

"Bhaiyu ko sab kuch play karna aata hai." Aryan said with pride. "He can play every musical instrument, Bhai. Though he loves guitar the most." He completed while smiling.

Ayaansh looked at Aniket in awe. "Mujhe bhi sikhaoge aap?"

"Kyun nahi, bilkul sikhaunga." Aniket ruffled his hair. "Mera Bhai mujhse bhi acha guitar play karega." He kept the guitar that was in his hands and picked up another one.

"Woh wali kyun nhi, Bhaiyu?"

"Arey, uss guitar ke strings tute huye hai, Bhai." Aryan answered while making himself comfortable on the bed.

Ayaansh frowned. "Toh tute huye guitar ko kyu rakha hai aapne?"

Aniket was about to answer but Aryan beat him. "Kyunki woh Bhaiyu ki first guitar hai. Bhaiya ne diya tha unko."

Aniket smiled. "Ab yeh le aur baja ke dikha."

Ayaansh shook his head. "Mujhe nhi aata, Bhaiyu. Maine pehle kabhi play nhi kiya."

"Try toh kar, here I'll help you..." Aniket taught him the basic chords and tunes. Ayaansh was a quick learner. He didn't need to be taught twice. He picked up on Aniket's techniques pretty soon and and the brothers started unknowingly humming together.

Aryan looked up surprised when he heard the voice. It was the first time he was hearing Ayaansh. He quickly opened his camera and started recording. His brothers were in perfect sync. This needed to be documented.

Ayaansh smiled and closed his eyes when his Bhaiyu nudged him to take the lead.

Ek Din Mohabbat Odh Kar
Ek Din Gali Ke Mod Par
Teri Hatheli Par
Likhun Mera Naam Tere Naam Par
Phir Tu Taqalluf Chhod Kar
Phir Tu Jhuka Kar Ke Nazar
Rakhna Mere Kaandhe Pe Sar
Zindagi...

Aniket joined Ayaansh and the brothers took a higher note letting their voice weave magic around them. It was the perfect concurrence of two completely different yet so complimentary voices.

Kuch To Bata Zindagi
Apna Pataa Zindagi..
Kuch Toh Bataa Zindagi
Apna Pataa Zindagi..

Taaron Bhari Ek Raat Mein
Tere Khat Padhenge Saath Mein
Kora Jo Panna Reh Gaya
Ek Kaanpte Se Haath Mein

Ayaansh opened his eyes when felt the cool breeze brushing against his skin and saw Arnav standing at the door, smiling down at them.

Thodi Shiqaayat Karna Tu
Thodi Shiqayat Main Karun
Naraaz Bas Na Hona Tu,
Zindagi...
