|#4. Another Worry|
Vineet and Viren come out of their rooms after freshening up. Viren grabs the coffee mugs from Ruhana and gives one to Vineet and plops down on the couch near his brother. Ruhana sits on the side couch sipping her coffee. Meanwhile, Bulbul enters the house. She's in a bad mood and Ruhana understands it with her behaviour. She sits on the arm of the couch leaning on her sister. Ruhana pats her cheek..
"Kya hua? Mood kharab kyun hai?" Ruhana asks casually.
"Ye pucho kya nahi hua! Aap kehti rehti ho assignments karo… Koi fayda nahi uska!" Bulbul shouts at her sister, baffling the other three.
"Arey! Hua kya hai? Main kahan se beech mein aai??" Ruhana is baffled with her sister's behavior.
"Arey vo-- vo professor Aashima! She released a new assignment!" Bulbul replies grumpily.
"She wants us to do all the designs. Theory ke sath. How fair is that?" Bulbul asks.
"Vo professor sirfiri hai!" Viren comments but Vineet glares at him.
" What?? Ghuro mat. Sahi keh raha hoon. Dimag fir jata hai! Assignment ke upar assignment!" Viren makes a face.
"He's right,jeeju! Miss Aashima is like that. Ab dobara se sab banana padega." Bulbul makes a face.
"Koi baat nahi! Main hoon na! I'll help you." Ruhana replies stroking her sister's head.
"Aapne pehle bhi bola tha! Par aap busy thi! Aise hi promise na karo aap. Abhi aap bol rahi ho, par fir aapko kaam aa jata hain. "Bulbul complains.
Ruhana looks at Bulbul for a few seconds. Her sister is again accusing her for not helping her. Yeah! She promised to help her but could not, as she had a meeting to attend and it required her to be with Vineet. She regretted not helping Bulbul.
" Is baar aisa nahi hoga. Hum aaj se hi shuru karte hain. Vaise bhi jo ek meeting thi, ab wo Viren handle kar raha hai. Toh ye dono bhai handle karlenge." Ruhana says.
"Sure? Aise na ho ki aap bhul jao ya kaam aa jaye." Bulbul glances at her.
"Nahi hoga! Chalo ab change karlo. Fir dinner ke baad hum kaam karte hain. Okay!!" Ruhana says and Bulbul nods her head innocently.
She runs to her room while Ruhana moves into the kitchen to lay the dinner. Viren and Vineet get busy talking when Ruhana calls them for dinner. She finds them talking about some project.
"Arey! Kabhi toh office ka kaam office mein chod ke aaya karo." she frowns at the two brothers.
"Maine toh mana kiya tha, bhai hi baat kar rahe hain. Scold him, not me!" Viren says innocently.
"shuru tumne kiya tha!" Vineet glares at his brother.
"Aapko hi office ki baat karni hoti hai!" Viren teases him.
Vineet glares at Viren while he runs towards Ruhana and hides behind her.
"Viren! This is wrong! Baat tumne shuru ki aur ilzam mujhpe. How fair is that?" Vineet glares playfully at Viren.
"Main jo bhi karun, zimmedar aap ho! Bade ho na!" Viren clicks out his tongue to his elder brother.
"That's a point! You can't backoff, Mr. Pati!" Ruhana says.
"Tum bhi iske sath mil gayi?" Vineet says sadly, looking at Ruhana.
" Ofcourse! Bhabhi is in my team!" Viren says teasingly.
"Thik hai, thik hai! Mere sath meri saali hai! Hai na, Bulbul?" He asks as he finds Bulbul coming towards them.
But to his utter surprise, the girl didn't didn't respond. Usually, when there's teasing,she immediately clings on to him and tries to prove that their team is better than that of Viren and Ruhana. But today, she didn't do anything. Vineet glances at Ruhana, who shrugs her shoulders. Her little one is never silent. Maybe, she is disturbed due to the new assignment. She moves to her and ruffles her hair.
"Bubble! Aisa udaas hone se kya hoga?? Assignment toh finish karna padega na!" Ruhana says.
"But why the same thing again!!! Aise mein when will we study?" Bulbul asks.
She's angry at the fact that their professor asked them to do the same thing again, but this time, it should be a practical model. It is surely frustrating. Ruhana understands but it can't be ignored.
" Main tumhare department head se baat karti hoon." Ruhana says.
"Koi farq nahi padega, Di. Humne baat ki toh sir ne kaha ki it's professor's wish." she says dejectedly.
"Arey! Aise thodi hota hai. Jab ek baar ho gaya toh bar bar kyun?" Ruhana asks.
"kyunki teacher ki marzi. Huh! They just do this!" Bulbul says.
"Bulbul thik keh rahi hai. This is all a game! Paise kamana!" Viren says.
"That's so bad! There should be an action against such people." Ruhana says angrily.
Ruhana can't see her sister sad. Also, she can't barge into the college things. It's their thing to manage.. All she can do is to help Bulbul in her work so that the girl doesn't lose her cool.
" Abhi chinta karke fayda nahi hai na, Bubble!! Pehle khana khate hain, fir we'll work." Ruhana says and serves food to them.
After a little while, finishing the dinner,Bulbul rushes to her room. Ruhana is surprised, but doesn't say anything as she knows her sister is disturbed. Viren rushes on to the terrace as it's his daily ritual. Vineet accompanies him, but today he stayed back. Ruhana winds up her chores and asks Radha to clean up the kitchen and then sleep. The girl nods and Ruhana sits on the couch. Vineet sits by his side.
"Tum kyun pareshan ho? It's okay Ruu! Frustration hai, Bulbul will be fine soon." he says.
"Jaanti hoon. Par is baar mujhe uski help karni hi hai. Tumne suna nahi, main busy thi isliye usey bura laga. I can't ignore my sister." Ruhana says.
"Vo frustrated thi isliye usne aisa bola, Ruu! She knows how much you do for her and also for all of us." Vineet tries to convince his wife.
"Par sach toh hai na, Vineet. Please ab kuch din office tum hi sambhalo. Wo itni pareshan hai. Ab mujhe uski help karni hai. I cannot look after everything." Ruhana says while looking at Vineet.
"Okay Relax ! I'll do! Tum Bulbul ki help karo." Vineet comforts her.
As Ruhana begins to speak, they hear a loud sound. It's from Bulbul's room. They run towards the girls' room and are shocked at the scenario in front of them.
To Be Continued.
What shocked RuVi? Did Bulbul do something?
Why is Bulbul so disturbed?
Stay tuned.
