The Agarwal mansion buzzed with pre-wedding chaos. Somya's engagement ceremony was just four days away, and the air crackled with nervous excitement. Mrs. Agarwal, ever the picture of a meticulous hostess, found herself caught in the middle of a delightful argument.

"Red roses, Veer! Red screams festive and celebratory! Perfect for an engagement," Sanjana insisted, her voice bright with conviction.

Veer, with a playful glint in his eye, countered, "But white roses, Sanjana, exude elegance and purity. A more sophisticated choice, wouldn't you say?"

Their playful bickering, a familiar melody in the Agarwal household, filled the room with a warmth that even the most extravagant decorations couldn't replicate. Malang, watching them from the corner of his eye, couldn't help but shake his head in amusement.

"Just decorate with roses, will you?" he interjected, his voice slightly exasperated. "Red, white, a mix - it doesn't matter. Somya will look radiant regardless."

The sound of his voice startled Sanjana and Veer out of their debate. They both whipped around, their faces mirroring surprise.

"What?!" they exclaimed in unison, the suddenness of Malang's decision momentarily throwing them off balance.

Malang, ever the peacemaker, chuckled sheepishly. "Just a suggestion, Bhabhi. Don't worry, I already instructed the servants."

Sanjana and Veer gaped at him, then burst into laughter. The tension dissipated, replaced by a shared sense of camaraderie. The symphony of their laughter echoed through the mansion, a testament to the deep bond they shared.

Suddenly, as Malang was inspecting a particularly elaborate floral arrangement, a pair of strong arms wrapped around him from behind. He yelped in surprise, a startled cry escaping his lips.

"Whoa there, easy tiger!" a familiar voice boomed with laughter.

Malang spun around, his initial shock morphing into pure joy as he recognized the face behind the playful attack. "Ritik!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms around his childhood friend in a tight hug.
