I reached home, parked the car, and walked towards the main gate. To my surprise, my brother was already there, engaged in a phone call.
I approached him and stood beside him, clearing my throat to get his attention.
He turned, and a wide grin spread across his face as he jumped up to hug me tightly.
I laughed and returned the embrace, teasing him to chill.
"We met after literally 4 years. I missed you, bhai!" he exclaimed like an excited child.
I patted his back and chuckled.
"How long have you been standing here?" I asked.
"I just arrived and was trying to call you, but you weren't picking up," he replied.
My brother and I have always been close, given our parents' busy schedules.
He's five years younger, practically a kid to me, and he acts like one.
"Okay, now get off me. Let's get inside," I said, and he laughed, releasing the hug.
"By the way, I have a surprise for you," he said with the same grin.
"What is it?" I asked, smiling as we walked inside.
"You'll know when they arrive," he replied cryptically.
I looked at him confused but shrugged, knowing he wouldn't spill the beans right away.
He headed to another room to freshen up, while I went to mine, desperately in need of a cold shower with my head still pounding.
After 15 minutes, I walked out, and Arush was still in his room.
I headed to the kitchen, deciding to cook something for both of us.
Before starting, I called Shreesha to check on her.
"Hello," she answered promptly.
"Hey, how are you feeling now?" I asked with concern.
"Yeah, I'm better now. Just had some painkillers, and we are currently watching a movie," she replied.
"Okay, enjoy then. Call me if you need anything," I said.
"Yeah, and by the way, did your brother arrive?" she asked.
"Yeah, he did half an hour ago. He's freshening up, and I thought of cooking something for both of us," I answered.
Leaning against the counter, a smile lingering on my face, she continued, "Okay, enjoy yourself and spend some time with him. I know how much you missed him."
"Yeah," I replied, chuckling.
"Okay, bye. I'll call you later. Love you," she said.
"Love you too," I replied, hanging up. Suddenly, I heard a clearing of the throat from behind.
