As Anupriya, Abhinav, and Karthik departed from the coffee shop in Karthik's car, a serious and contemplative conversation unfolded within the confines of the vehicle.
Karthik voiced his frustration, "We could have hired another lawyer for our case. We don't need to put up with that arrogant and sly fox, Abhimanyu."
Abhinav responded thoughtfully, "Yeah, we could have, but Abhimanyu is our guarantee to win. I didn't hire him because he's a good lawyer; I hired him because he's a sly fox who would do anything and everything to maintain his 0 loss track record and that huge ego of his. Other lawyers might just try to win the case, but he will win the case, no matter what it takes."
Karthik relented, saying, "Fine, if that's what you want. But promise me you won't let him insult you again, because that's my job."
Abhinav assured Karthik, "Don't worry, that won't happen again. And yeah, even you don't have any right to insult me either. You try if you want to be known as dead."
Anupriya, who had been silently observing them, could see how much they cared about each other, concealing their concerns behind their dark sense of humor. It was a testament to the depth of their friendship and their ability to find comfort in banter during difficult moments.
Anupriya, in an attempt to lighten the atmosphere, cracked a joke, "Are you guys dating?"
Upon hearing this, both Karthik and Abhinav made disgusted expressions. Abhinav replied, "Your brother might not date much, but he still likes girls. And if you want to pair me up with a guy, at least choose someone more good-looking than me."
Karthik chimed in, "Hold on, bro. You're not my type either."
Anupriya teased, "Karthik, so you like guys?"
Karthik quickly clarified, "Hey, I didn't mean that! You know what I mean, right? You two siblings are just having fun torturing me."
Their laughter filled the car as the conversation took a humorous turn.
