The Chaos Unfolds

The next morning, the three troublemakers sat at the breakfast table, trying very hard to act innocent.

Avni casually sipped her juice. Ayush scrolled through his phone. Aryan struggled not to smirk.

They waited.

Any second now, Anirudh would realize his meeting was at an amusement park.

Any moment, Arnav would open his presentation full of cat pictures.

And then—

"AVNI! AYUSH! ARYAN!"

They flinched.

That was fast.

Anirudh stormed into the room, his laptop in hand. His face was a mix of rage and disbelief.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!"

He turned the laptop around—revealing his serious lawyer presentation, now full of cartoon ponies and unicorn stickers.

Aryan choked on his toast.

Avni looked away, trying not to laugh.

Ayush gulped. "Uh… technical glitch?"

Anirudh’s eyes narrowed. "Oh? Then tell me—why is my meeting at a kids’ amusement park?!"

Before they could answer—

BAM!

Arnav kicked the door open.

His eyes twitched. His hands clenched into fists.

And worst of all—he looked tired.

Very tired.

Ayush gulped. "Uh… good morning?"

Arnav slammed his laptop onto the table.

It opened to a giant picture of a cat wearing a business suit.

His voice was dangerously calm.

"Who. Did. This?"

The three froze.

Avni whispered, "Abort mission?"

Aryan muttered, "Abort mission."

Ayush ran.

Big mistake.

Before he could escape, Arnav grabbed the back of his shirt and yanked him back.

Aryan tried to bolt next—only for Anirudh to grab him by the collar.

Avni, the last one standing, raised her hands in surrender. "Okay, okay, we did it! But it was payback for torturing us!"

Anirudh gave a fake smile. "Oh, don’t worry."

Arnav cracked his knuckles. "Now we get payback."

The Punishment Escalates… Again

For the next three hours, the three troublemakers were subjected to the worst punishment ever.

Ayush was made to rewrite all the business reports—by hand.

Avni was forced to organize Anirudh’s office—from top to bottom.

Aryan had to answer Arnav’s company calls—and pretend to be him.

At the end of the day, the three collapsed onto the floor, completely exhausted.

Aryan groaned, "I regret everything."

Ayush sighed, "I think my fingers are broken."

Avni muttered, "No more pranks. I swear."

Arnav smirked. "That’s what I thought."

Anirudh crossed his arms. "Behave. Or next time, it’ll be worse."

As the brothers left, the three younger siblings shared a look.

Avni whispered, "We’ll get them back… eventually."

Aryan grinned. "Oh, definitely."

Ayush smirked. "Just… not anytime soon."
