2.Interview

Hey everyone! I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting the next segment. Apologies for the delay; I had some technical issues with my laptop, but it's fixed now. I wanted to incorporate pictures for a more immersive experience, but I'm facing some challenges in doing so. I'll keep trying, but for now, let's get acquainted with the characters:

Aryan: Portrayed by Parth Samthaan Arnav: Brought to life by Siddhant Gupta Nirav: Enacted by Karan Tacker Nishant: Depicted by Varun Kapoor Agni: Played by Pearl V. Puri

Without further ado, let's dive back into the world of these brothers!

While on my way to the interview, memories from the past flooded my mind. It was the first time I had returned to that place since my parents passed away. My brothers were struggling to hold back their tears when they learned about our father's betrayal. They had severed ties with him, but the news of our parents' demise deeply affected them. Having lost their mother earlier, and idolizing both parents in their childhood, the discovery of our father's betrayal was too much for them to bear. They weren't ready to forgive him, but on that day, grief overshadowed anger. They yearned for the simpler times of their childhood, pleading with our father to awaken, promising forgiveness. Nishant, the youngest, was inconsolable. Arnav and Agni tried their best to comfort him. Nirav, on the other hand, was an enigma, devoid of tears or apparent sorrow; he seemed lost in a void.

Arnav took on the role of the protector, while Agni's feelings were more complex. He felt deeply hurt by our father's betrayal, given his closeness to our mother. He and Nirav were quite different from Arnav and Nishant in their reactions. Agni's anger was palpable. He demanded that our father awaken and answer for his actions. Yet, beneath the surface, I sensed he wasn't ready to let go either.

For me, it was a different kind of pain. My parents never showed me the love they shared with each other. To them, I seemed more like a guest than a son . My mother, not naturally inclined to motherhood, was thrust into the role due to circumstances. She never truly embraced it. Every disagreement they had was deflected onto me, creating a vast distance between us. They always seemed to believe I was the root of their troubles. When they passed, I was torn. One part of me believed they were the only family I had, while the other part bitterly remembered the lack of affection they showed me. Their absence left me wondering if they ever truly accepted me. The pain of feeling like an outsider in your own family is one of the deepest wounds one can bear.

As I pondered the upcoming scene, Devansh uncle abruptly halted, suggesting I use the back entrance due to the reporters outside. Entering the house, I spotted Nirav, Nishant, and Arnav, but Agni was noticeably absent. Given Arnav's insistence that the family should present a united front for the interview, Agni's absence was baffling. The reporters were keen on capturing the family essence, which would bolster the company's image.

Agni and Arnav, while twins, couldn't have been more different. Agni was renowned both academically and for his extracurricular activities, while Arnav was purely academic-focused. Shy and introverted, Arnav was seen as a nerd, and it was Agni who often brought him into his social circle. They were the perfect twin duo, fighting and teasing, but their bond was undeniable. However, my arrival seemed to have disrupted their dynamics.

Agni had changed. He maintained respect for Arnav, avoiding derogatory remarks even in disagreements, but he had turned to drinking. He'd assure Arnav he'd stop, but inevitably, he'd relapse. Arnav, frustrated but caring, tried to guide him toward rehabilitation, but Agni grew more distant, barely coming home and opting to work from his office. I sensed Agni didn't want to hurt or disrespect Arnav but struggled with accepting his choices. Their contrasting personalities made it hard to believe they were twins. Yet, Agni's deep-rooted respect for Arnav, even when rebelling, hinted at a powerful bond forged by an event or memory I wasn't privy to. Lately, Agni's uncharacteristic outbursts towards Nirav and Nishant were concerning. Arnav had noticed but remained silent, suggesting a deeper issue.
