Intro..

Abhishek Nigam: 26 years old, a secret RAW agent, no one knows about this..not even his own brother...he has a small house of his own in Delhi..struggles but succeeds in hiding his real job...he respects Shaanti Tai and is grateful to her for taking care of Sid in his absence..his Aashu is his child...his only child..his dream is to always keep him happy and safe..away from his tensed life..

Siddharth Nigam: 22 years old, an MBBS student in the prestigious AIIMS college of Delhi..he loves his brother, who is his only family..he respects and loves Shaanti Tai as a motherly figure..he is a smart student....
For him Abhi is his father, mother, brother, sister, bff, everything...but nowadays, Sid stays a bit upset with Abhi's overworking habits..he thinks Abhi works as a personal assistant of some workaholic boss, who has a poor startup..

The brothers got orphaned when their parents died in a construction site tragedy...their parents were daily wage workers after having lost jobs, they didn't have any savings, just a small house..Abhi was 13 and Sid was 9 at that time...
Abhi had joined a tea shop and earned little money..their fees was less, but they didn't have money for food...Abhi never let Sid work, because he hated their helplessness..he did two jobs everyday and studied from home...he had a friend in the school, who would help him if needed..

Abhi focused on earning, and had no expectations from life..he had no dreams, but the only thing that fascinated him was the respect people had forgotten army men...when he grew up he got to know their job, he decided to become that...but he couldn't be a frontline soldier, he didn't want to let his younger brother live in worry always, plus Sid was too young at that time...

He wanted to give up his dream, but life gave him another chance..the chief offered Sid a home till Abhi got trained..Sid missed Abhi, but he was not unsafe..the chief didn't take Sid under him directly...he had a friend outside the profession, who lived nearer, Sid lived there till Abhi got trained..

According to Sid, Abhi was actually looking for jobs and was hustling to get a good one, and that's why he was currently working under the person in whose house Sid lived..

They helped Sid talk to Abhi through video call, and even treated him well..but still Sid missed Abhi..

Siddharth since childhood, had only one dream, to treat people and earn well enough to not let his Dada work..he always wanted to be a doctor..
..

Shaanti Tai: 65 years old..she entered the Nigam's lives around 4 years ago, she had been abandoned by her son and had no property left for herself, her husband had named everything to the son in the will..she had come to the chawl Sidshek lived in, she had been searching for work, her state had been miserable, she had been starving for days...Abhi had already been worrying about Sid in his absence, so he agreed...

Abhi had run a small background check on her, and had got to know she was not bad, or evil...he could trust her...even then almost 3 months he kept an eye on her, even when he was not home, he made sure he had her watched..

Now Abhi trusts her very much..she is a good lady..

Coming to the present times, the story will revolve around Abhi handling work and home...being the eldest in the house and doing a job like that isn't easy.. I'll try to show a realistic version of spies here...I don't know if I can do justice to it..

Sid was upset, he had come from college, and was not lying on his bed...

He missed Abhi so much, his Dada had gone for a meeting with his boss...

He was also annoyed with him, Abhi never gave details of exactly where was he going...and because he was his parent too, a glare from him silenced Sid and he couldn't argue about the location..
