Anamika's room

RuVi and Anamika were sitting in Anamika's room. Vineet was sitting in a corner on a couch while Anamika and Ruhana were laughing over something. Anamika signals Ruhana to look at Vineet's grumpy face as they are laughing but not including him in their talks.

''Waise Di aapko pata hai, Dad ke naseeb mei na ek itne mahaan hasti aa padhaare hai ki aab Dad humko puchte bhi nai aur wo MAHAAN hasti aise hai ki ek coffee leke bhi nahi chal sakte, deewaron ko rangte firte hai.'' Anamika says while eyeing Vineet who glares at her, Ruhana giggles at her words.

''Sahi mei lekin, Jeej, main aapke dedication ki datt deti hoon!!! Like, aasan thodi hai itna bada business sambhalana, yahan wahan ki information rakhna, uss information ka utilize karna aur uske badh coffee art!!! Waah waahhh!!! Aap toh genius ho Jeej!" Anamika teases him making a serious face and both the sisters look at him who makes a sour face.

Ruhana laughs out loud at his act, well, what goes around comes around.

''Hanslo hanslo!! Behen aa gayi toh pati ko akela chod diya, huhh!" He mumbled.

''Haan toh!! Aab pati toh yahin rehne wala hai na par behen chali jaayegi kuch din mei toh uski side leni padegi hi!" Ruhana exclaims.

Vineet eyed them,''iska bas chale toh ye yahin bas jaaye!! Waise bhi meri jagah lene ko tadapti rehti hai, huhhh, main paagal thodi hoon jo isko yahan rakhu. Pata chale mujhe hi isne ghar se nikal diya.'' Vineet stated making them laugh at his words.

''Nai, nai!! Ana aisa bilkul nahi karegi kyunki usko aache se pata hai humko maje karne ke liye tumhara kaam karna jaruri hai. Toh ghar se toh bilkul nahi nikalegi tumhe!!" Ruhana teases him, Vineet looks at her in surprise.

''Arey!! Kaise log ho dono, mujh bechare ko paise ke liye use karna chahti ho, huhhh!! Iska yahan rehna toh sach mei mere liye problem hai, ek din mei tum aisi baatein karne lagi!" He scoffs.

''Lekin Jeej, imagine kitna maja aayega agar main yahan rahu toh!! Mujhe roj roj aapke naye karname dekhne ko milenge, haayee, aapka coffee art talent dekhne ko milega,uffff!!! Kitna maja aayega!" Anamika exclaims sarcastically and winks at him.

''Obviously, maja aayega!! Ana, abhi tak tune bas coffee art dekha hai kuch din ruk jaa fir dekhna kitne talented hai tere Jeej!! Ek number artist hai!! Study mei files ka pahad bana sakte hai, juice ki factories fridge mei khol sakte hai aur yahi nahi bich hall mei football bhi khel sakte hai aur uss se deewaron pe jo sundar sundar designs bante hai na unka kya hi kehna!!" Ruhana states gazing at Vineet who had it enough now.

The sisters are roasting him left and right for no good reason. He was just trying to save his wife and in the process he threw the coffee mug on the wall. It was a mistake but the wall got stained and now they are behind him.

''Tum dono toh piche hi padd gayi mere. Meine jaan bujh ke thodi kiya tha, wo toh galti se ho gaya par tum dono aise behave kar rahi ho jaise meine jaane kya kar diya ho.'' He glares at them.

Ruhana cast a sarcastic look at him,''humne kab kaha tumne kuch galat kiya ya koi galti ki? Jab insaan pehli baar kuch kare toh usse galti kehte hai jab koi ekahi chij baar baar kare toh wo galti reh hi kahan jaati hai.'' She teases him and it breaks his limits.

He stood up from his place and held her hand.

''Chalo chalo, sone chalo!! Tum kuch der aur iske saath rahi toh ye divorce hi karwa degi hamara, chalo yahan se!" Vineet exclaims but Ruhana refuses to go because she wanted to spend time with Anamika who got yet another idea to pull his leg.

''Exactly!! Aapko divorce dena hi sabse aacha hai fir aap shayad sudhar jao aur meri behen ko bhi sukoon milega.'' Anamika teases him while trying to remove Ruhana's hand from his grip.

''Hatt!! Bakwas maat karo, tumhari wajah se mera sukh chen jaa raha hai abhi.'' He scoffs.

''Ruu,tum chalo yaar!! Raat ho gayi aab humko sona bhi hai!" He exclaims.

''Haan toh tum jao sone main abhi yahin hoon, jab nind aayegi tab aa jayungi!" She told him but Vineet rolls his eyes.

''Mujhe akele nind nahi aati!" He reasoned.

''Kyun, aab bache ho kya? Ya raat ko aapko susu aati hai? Aap akele washroom nahi jaa sakte?" Anamika questions, making Ruhana laugh at her words.

''Ruu, iska muh band karaao!" Vineet shouted now, he had enough of her taunts and teases.

" Vineet, chilla kyun rahe ho? Wo bas majak kar rahi hai?" Ruhana told him but his mood was totally off by now.

''Haan, isko bas hamesha majak hi sukhta hai!! Tabse bewajah bakwas hi kiye jaa rahi hai!" He yelled, Ruhana tried to comfort him which was useless, he's not ready to listen to anything.

''Tumhe rehna hai raho, main iss pagal ke saath nahi reh sakta!" He exclaims and leaves the room.

Ruhana and Anamika glances at each other, Anamika makes an apologetic face to which Ruhana shakes her head. The two precious people of her life are two opposite poles, they are never ready to be together and she wants to create some happiness together with them.

Ruhana sighs deeply, meanwhile Vineet enters the room again and sits down on the couch, in the next moment laid down and covers his face with the cushion.

''Lagta hai sach mei inko darr lagta hai!" Anamika murmured.

Ruhana glared at her, she pouted.

''Chal, aab tu so jaa chup chap, main isko leke jaati hoon yaha se nahi toh tum dono ek duje ka gala na daba doh.'' Ruhana scoffs.

''Unko god mei utha ke leke jana padta kya?" Anamika asked, giggling.

''Ana!!" Ruhana glares at her, Anamika swiftly laid down on the bed and covered herself.

As Ruhana turns, she finds Vineet already standing by the door waiting for her. Ruhana sighs deeply and leaves the room while Vineet follows her.

....

RuVi's Room

They laid down on their respective sides, Vineet was constantly staring at her but Ruhana had already closed her eyes.

''Main naraj hoon!" Vineet exclaims as he wanted some pampering from her, so he needs to tell her that he's upset.

''Haan, main bhi naraj hoon!! Issliye chup chap so jao!" She told him.

Vineet sits up instantly, he was the one who has been teased and now she's upset? Why?

''Dono behen ne milke ek toh mujhe chidhaya aab ulta khud naraj ho gayi, waah!! Ye aacha hai!" He scoffs.

''Main iss maamle mei koi baat nahi karna chahti!" Ruhana states.

''Par main karunga? Batao tum kyun upset ho? Chidhaya toh mujhe tum dono ne fir muh bhi khudhi ne phula liya, kyun???" He demanded an answer.

''Vineet, so jao! Fir main agar kuch keh dungi toh tum uska ulta matlab hi nikaloge aur wo main nahi chahti.'' She clarifies but he's adamant to know.

Ruhana let out a breath and cast a look at him.

''Chalo thik hai, let's start with you only! Tum mujhe batao tumhe kya problem hai? Kyun itna hyper ho jaate ho bewajah? Abhi bas hum majak hi toh kar rahe the na, fir kyun chillane lage? Tum khud usko aise tease karte ho. Siddharth ke matter ko itna khicha tumne, tab tumhe wo sahi laga lekin jab usne kuch bol diya toh bura laag gaya tumhe, kyun? Tumhe kya lagta hai baki kissi ko bura feel nahi ho sakta ya baki sab majak ka patra hai bas tumhe chod ke? Agar tum majak seh nahi sakte toh fir kiya bhi na karo kyunki ye chij give and take hai, jo karoge waisa milega hi tum chaho ya na chaho!" Ruhana confronted him in a firm voice, she's disheartened when he reacts like that.

Vineet stares at her silently as he knows he's at fault. He makes an apologetic face.

''Vineet, dekho main tumse jhagda nahi karna chahti kyunki ye jhagdne ki baat hai bhi nahi par agar tum aise react karoge toh fir kaise chalega. Main nahi chahti, Ana last time ki tarah fir yahan se udas hoke jaaye. Vineet tum ye samjhna hoga, mere liye baki log bhi important hai, I can't, stick with you only.'' Ruhana tries to make him understand, her voice softens but he looks disheartened now.

The fact that Anamika has an equal place as he in Ruhana's heart always saddened him. He doesn't know why, but he can't digest such things. He wants to be her first priority and holds the highest position in her heart. He doesn't want to share her with anyone.

''Main aage se aisa nahi karunga!'' He told her in a low voice.

''Vineet!!!" Ruhana stares at him, there was nothing to get sad about.

''Chalo aab so jao, mujhe nind aa rahi hai!" He exclaims and helps her in laying down and securing his place beside.

He places one hand on his head to stroke his head while holding the other in between his palm and closes his eyes. Ruhana sighs deeply but strokes his head gently. Soon they fell asleep.
