Despite the challenges they faced, their home was filled with warmth, laughter, and shared dreams. Arjun's determination and resilience had always been a source of inspiration for Manik. While Arjun managed the pressures of the business world, Manik focused on his education, harboring a deep love for music that had been a solace through their toughest times.

The first signs of Manik's deep passion for music began to emerge gradually. He spent his evenings with his guitar, and it became clear that music was more than just a hobby—it was his calling.

In the evening, Arjun came home to the sound of Manik playing his guitar. The soothing melodies filled the apartment, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Arjun- "Mannu baccha,  tumhari music ki practice kaisi chal rahi hai?" (he asked, leaning against the doorframe with a proud smile).Manik looked up, his eyes sparkling. 

MAnik- "Bhaiya, mujhe lagta hai yeh hi mera true passion hai. Main music industry mein kuch karna chahta hoon. but,Bhaiya, thoda dar lag raha hai. Pata nahi main yahan fit ho paunga ya nahi"

Arjun walked over and sat next to Manik. 

Arjun- "Tumhe jo khushi mile, wahi karna chahiye. Main tumhe pura support karunga. Just don't worry baccha I'm always with you in your every decision. Aur mera baccha kisi se kam nahi hei, kujh nahi hoga tension mat lo. Aur sabse badi baat, tumhe apne sapne ko sach karne ki himmat hai"

They spent the rest of the evening talking about Manik's musical aspirations. Arjun shared stories of their childhood, remembering how Manik would always be the one to hum tunes and beat rhythms on anything he could find.
After dinner, Manik pulled out an old notebook filled with his handwritten lyrics and compositions from their school days. The pages were worn and yellowed, but the passion in each line was unmistakable.

Manik- "Bhaiya, yaad hai jab hum chote the aur main yeh lyrics likhta tha?" (he asked, flipping through the pages).Arjun smiled, nostalgia filling his eyes. 

Arjun- "Haan, Baccha. Tum tab bhi apne gaane likhne mein itne hi passionate the. Mujhe umse juri har choti se choti baat yaad hei."

Manik began to play one of his old compositions, and Arjun closed his eyes, letting the music wash over him. It was as if the melodies were a time machine, taking them back to simpler, happier times..

One evening, Arjun surprised Manik with an invitation to a secret music event in the heart of Mumbai. 

Manik- "Bhaiya, yeh jagah toh kamaal ki lag rahi hai! Par hum yahan kyun aaye hain?" (he asked, his curiosity piqued).Arjun smiled...... 

Arjun- "Baccha, mujhe lagta hai yeh jagah tumhare liye perfect hai. Yahan ke musicians se milo, apni music sunao. Yeh tumhare liye ek naya experience hoga."

Manik was both nervous and excited as they entered the bustling venue. The atmosphere was electric, filled with the sounds of various instruments and voices blending harmoniously.
Manik's performance that night was met with enthusiastic applause. He played his guitar with a passion that resonated with the audience, leaving them captivated. After his set, he was approached by several musicians who were impressed by his talent. Arjun, sitting in the front row, was filled with pride and anticipation. The auditorium was packed with students, parents, and music enthusiasts from around the city. As Manik took the stage, he caught Arjun's encouraging smile and felt a wave of confidence wash over him. He played his heart out, every note resonating with passion and dedication. His performance included an original composition that he had written with Riya, blending soulful guitar strings with her hauntingly beautiful vocals. When the performance ended, the audience erupted in applause. Manik looked at Arjun, who was clapping the loudest, tears of pride in his eyes.

 After the performance, Arjun rushed backstage to congratulate Manik. 

Arjun- "Mannu bacche, tumne kamaal kar diya! Main bohot khush hoon. I'm really really proud on you." 

Manik hugged Arjun tightly. 

Manik-"Bhaiya, yeh sab aapke bina possible nahi hota. aapka support aur encouragement hi meri sabse badi strength hai." 

They decided to celebrate this milestone in their favorite spot by the sea, where they had often spent time dreaming about the future. The night was filled with laughter, heartfelt conversations, and promises for the days ahead.

Judges- "Mr. Manik, aapka performance bohot acha tha. Hum aapke sath milke ek collaboration contract sign kar sakte hain," (They extending their hands).Manik shook their hand, smiling broadly. 

Manik-"Thanks, Sir. Main bhi kuch naya create karne ke liye excited hoon. And thanks for the opportunity"

With some new friends and collaborators, Manik's confidence grew. He spent hours practicing and composing new songs. Arjun, seeing his brother's dedication, decided to take another step to support him..

.

One weekend, Arjun transformed a spare room in their house into a makeshift recording studio. He bought basic recording equipment and soundproofed the room to create a conducive environment for Manik's music. This space became a creative haven for Manik, where he could experiment with different sounds and compositions.

Arjun- "Mannu, yeh studio tumhare sapno ka pehla kadam hai. Tum yahan se kuch amazing create karoge," (he said, helping Manik set up the equipment. 

Manik looked around the room, feeling a surge of inspiration. 

Manik- "Bhaiya, yeh sab kuch... mere liye?"( he asked, his eyes wide with surprise).Arjun nodded, grinning. "Thank you, bhaiya. Aapke bina yeh sab possible nahi hota."

Arjun-"Haan,baccha. Aur kiske liye karuga..... I'm really proud on you. Yours talent deserves the best. Ab tum apna music yahan record kar sakte ho."

Manik was overwhelmed with gratitude. He hugged Arjun tightly. 

MAnik- "Thank you, bhaiya. aap hamesha mere liye ktna kuch karte ho. You're world's best bhayia....I love you"

Manik, along with his new friends from the underground scene, began recording his first demo in the home studio. The process was exhilarating yet challenging, pushing Manik to refine his skills and creativity and till late night, Arjun sat outside the studio, listening to Manik and his friends as they worked on a track. The music filled the apartment, a testament to Manik's growing passion and dedication.

.

Despite his progress, Manik faced moments of self-doubt and creative blocks. The pressure to succeed and the fear of failure sometimes overwhelmed him. In these moments, Arjun's unwavering support became crucial.

That night, after a particularly tough recording session, Manik sat on the balcony, staring into the skyline. Arjun joined him, sensing his brother's turmoil.

Arjun- "Kya hua, baccha? Tum itne pareshan kyun lag rahe ho?" (he asked, his voice filled with concern).Arjun sighed deeply. "Bhaiya, kabhi kabhi lagta hai main is industry mein survive nahi kar paunga. Sab logon ki expectations.. bohot zyada pressure hai...lagta hai main sab kuch nahi sambhal paunga. Academy ki expectations, apni khud ki hopes... sab bohot zyada lagta hai."

Arjun placed a comforting hand on Manik's shoulder and looked at him with a mixture of concern and love.

Arjun- "baccha, yeh sab difficulties tumhe aur strong banayengi. Tumhare paas talent hai, aur tumhara determination tumhe aage le jayega and tumne hamesha apne sapno ko follow kiya hai. Aur jab tak main tumhare saath hoon, tumhe kisi cheez ka darr nahi hona chahiye. Tumhe sirf apne aap pe vishwas rakhna hai."

Manik looked at Arjun, his eyes misty and felt tears prickling his eyes. 

MAnik- "Thank you, bhaiya. Aapka support hi mujhe confident feel karvata hei, Bhaiya, aapke bina main kuch nahi kar paunga. aapke support ke bina main kab ka give up kar chuka hota."

Arjun hugged him tightly. 

Arjun-"Mannu, tumhara sapna mera bhi sapna hai. Hum milke is journey ko pura karenge."

To help Manik rediscover his inspiration, Arjun suggested they take a break from the city. They went on a short trip to the countryside, where the serene environment and natural beauty rejuvenated Manik's creative spirit.

Manik-"Yeh jagah kitni peaceful hai, bhaiya. Yahan aane se mujhe apne gaane ke liye nayi ideas mil rahi hain," (he said, sitting by a lake with his guitar).

Arjun smiled, watching his brother's enthusiasm return. 

Arjun-"Mujhe pata tha yeh break tumhare liye achha hoga. Kabhi kabhi hume apne aap ko recharge karna zaroori hota hai."

When they return to Mumbai, Manik received an invitation to perform at a local music festival. This opportunity was a significant step in his budding music career. Arjun threw himself into preparing for the festival, spending long hours rehearsing and perfecting his setlist. Arjun helped manage the logistics, ensuring everything was in place for the big day.

Arjun- "Mannu, yeh festival tumhare liye bohot important hai. Tum apne best performance dena. Main wahan sab kuch handle kar lunga," (he assured him).

Manik nodded, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. 

Manik-"Bhaiya, main apna best dunga. Aap bus waha rehna , you're my inspiration. You're support is really important for me."

Arjun- "Mannu, yeh tumhara moment hai. Jaake dikhado sabko apni talent, aur batao ki Manik Rawte kon he" ( he said, his eyes filled with pride).

The applause was thunderous, and Manik felt a surge of accomplishment and joy. After his performance, Manik found Arjun in the crowd. They hugged, overwhelmed with emotion.

Arjun, equally emotional, replied, 

Arjun- "Mannu, tumne jo achieve kiya hai, us par mujhe bohot garv hai. Tumne apne sapne ko sach kar dikhaya.

Launching a Music Career With the success of his festival performance, Manik's confidence soared. He started planning his next steps in the music industry with renewed vigor. he started Collaborating with Artists and began collaborating with other artists he met at the festival. These collaborations led to new and exciting musical projects, further establishing his presence in the industry. 

"Manik, tumhare saath kaam karke bohot maza aaya. Tumhare compositions mein ek unique magic hai,"  one of his collaborators remarked after a recording session. Manik smiled, feeling grateful for the opportunities. 

Manik- "Thanks, yaar. Main bhi tumhare saath milke kuch amazing banana chahta hoon."

Arjun- "baccha, yeh tune bohot khoobsurat hai. Tumhe yeh zaroor include karna chahiye album mein."

Manik looked up, smiling. 

Manik- "Bhaiya, aap kab aae office se and hugged him tightly....  and thanks bhayia aapke suggestions hamesha best hote hain. Main ise hi album ka title track banaunga."

They worked together, refining the album and preparing for its launch. Arjun's business skills complemented MAnik's creative talents, making them a formidable team.

Manik- "Bhaiya, mujhe ab apni music album banani hai. Apna music duniya tak pahunchane hain," (he shared, his eyes gleaming with determination).

Arjun smiled, feeling a mixture of pride and excitement.

Friends, family, and fans gathered to celebrate this milestone. As Manik performed songs from his album, Arjun watched from the sidelines, his heart swelling with pride.

Arjun immersed himself in his music, the brothers continued to share deep, emotional moments that strengthened their bond even further. Reflecting on the Journey With his album released and his music career taking off, Manik took a moment to reflect on his journey. He and Arjun sat on their favorite rooftop, looking out at the Mumbai skyline. as they sat on and overlooking the city.

Manik- "Bhaiya, yeh sab kuch ek dream jaisa lagta hai. aapke bina main yahan tak nahi pahunch sakta tha, without your support, yeh journey start karna hii mere liye possible nahi tha" (he said, his voice filled with gratitude).

Arjun smiled, placing a hand on his brother's shoulder. 

Arjun- "Mannu baccha, tumhara sapna mera bhi sapna tha. Tumne apne passion ko follow karke mujhe bhi inspire kiya hai. Main hamesha tumhare saath rahunga.  tumhe pata hai? Main bhi apni life mein kabhi kabhi confused hota hoon. Lekin tumhe dekh kar mujhe hamesha himmat milti hai "

Manik was surprised....

Manik- "Bhaiya, aap toh mere liye hamesha strong rahe ho. Mujhe nahi pata tha aap bhi aise feel karte ho."

Arjun smiled wistfully. 

Arjun- "Hum sab ke apne apne struggles hote hain. Lekin tumhare saath hote hue mujhe lagta hai main sab kuch handle kar sakta hoon."

They sat in silence for a while, enjoying the comfort of each other's company. The bond they shared was more than just that of brothers; it was a connection built on mutual respect, love, and unwavering support, the city lights twinkling around them, they felt a deep sense of contentment and anticipation for the future.
