Mahir's Pov :

[ Delhi , India ]

With a pounding headache and a mouth as dry as the Sahara, I drag myself out of bed, cursing last night's indulgence. The morning light feels like a personal attack.

The thought of facing the gym in this sorry state fills me with dread, but I know I need to sweat out the toxins.

As sweat pours down my face, I find solace in the pain, a reminder that I am still alive amidst this mundane existence.

I am Mahir Awasthi, a successful businessman at the age of 25 . The business I'm is my grandfather's legacy and I'm Currently living in Mumbai with my grandmother who is the only person I have left my family.

After my parents death I was raised by my compassionate grandparents, their love became my anchor, But as I grew older and entered boarding school, I found myself veering off course.

Life took a dark turn. Addiction became my shadow, and I battled demons I didn't even know I had. Each day felt like a struggle to find purpose amidst the chaos.

At this point of my life , for others I maybe a rich arrogant man rulling the business world at a young age and living a lavish lifestyle.

My success may speak volumes, but it does little to soothe the restlessness that churns within me.
The faces of those I've lost haunt my dreams, their accusing stares are a  constant reminder of my failures.

After reaching home , i took a shower soothing my aching muscles. Coming out I saw my phone buzzes with notifications, reminding me of the responsibilities .

With a sigh, I resign to the fact that today will be a battle against both my hangover and my grumpy self ....I need to go through the to do list : packing for the trip to London , attending three meetings , meeting Sahil ( my best and ONLY FRIEND ) and ..... Well nothing .

I made my way towards dadi's room ....
" Good morning dadi ..." I wished sitting beside her while Seema ( maid ) was getting her medicines

" Agaya mera baccha... good morning...late ayatha kal ? "

" Hm ...ap so gayi thi na ..apko kaise pata "

" Soyi nehi thi mai ...tu jabtak nehi ata , nend kaha ati hai mujhe "

" Ap sojaya karo na ... aise kyu karte ho "

" Chup kar ....kuch khaya abhi ? "
" Ha ..."
" Kya khaya ? "
" Cereal "

" Ish ...kuch accha khasa kyu nehi khata tu , seema ( maid ) ko bol deta to kuch bana deti na ! "

" Nehi ...man nehi tha ..wo choro ...mai abhi office jarahu .."
" Hm ...dhyan se jana ...late mat anaa "
" Koshish karunga " with that I can hear dadi sighing but I came out of her room and left for office after telling seema to take care of dadi an usual habit of mine !
