Vineet was curious to know what his wife and Sister - in - law were talking about him but Ruhana is not ready to tell him even a single word. 

''Ruu yaar aise toh maat karo na mere saath. Batao na kya baat kar rahe the tum dono.'' He asks again, clinging on to her arms, Ruhana jerks him off. 

''Don't disturb me!'' She scolded him and shifted her concentration on the boiling milk. 

They were in the kitchen. Ruhana was preparing coffee for the three of them while Vineet was following her in every corner of the house. 

''Arey ye toh hadh hai ek toh tum dono mere baare mei baat kar rahi thi upar se bata bhi nahi rahi kya baat thi, aisa nahi hota!'' He scoffs. 

Ruhana looks at him,''aisa hi hota hai! Hum tumhaari tarah kuch sun ke har jagah dhindhora na peetate chalte hai, jo baat jahan suru hui wahin khatam ho jaati hamare liye!'' Ruhana exclaims meaningfully, emphasizing on the words. 

Vineet pouts, so the sisters are taking revenge, but he wasn't at fault or was he? He just said what he heard back there, it wasn't a make up story nor was he spying on them. It's Anamika and her boyfriend who are at fault! They discuss their private life in a public place. Despite this, he's charged as guilty for pointing it out, why? 

''Lekin meine kuch galat thodi kaha, wahi baatein kar rahe the na!? Main toh bas ched raha tha usse aur kuch nahi!'' Vineet reasons his point. 

''Meine kab kaha tumhari galti hai?? Meine kaha kya aisa kuch? Bilkul nahi!! Tum bhala kabhi galat ho sakte ho sakte ho kya? Nahi nahi, ye toh impossible hai!! Iss puri duniya mei koi bhi galat ho sakta hai, main toh kehti hoon ek baar google bhi galat ho jaaye par tum!!! Tum kabhi galat nahi ho sakte!!!!'' Ruhana states sarcastically to which Vineet makes a sour face. 

''Aur dusri baat, tumhe maja aata hoga kissi ki baat sunke unko ussi baat ke liye chedne mei mujhe nahi!! Toh, ye rahi tumhari coffee aur mera picha karna band karo!'' She ordered him as she slid the coffee mug towards him and left the kitchen. 

Vineet holds the mug and follows her.

''Main agli baar se aisa bilkul nahi karunga, pakka promise!!" Vineet told her while running behind her. 

''Mujhe koi fark nahi padta uss se, tum mere piche maat aao!'' She ordered but he didn't stop and fastened his pace, Ruhana warned him which bounces over his head. 

Ruhana fastened her speed to which Vineet moved to the other side of the house to catch her from the front but Ruhana fooled him and took another way. Vineet growls and runs towards her, Ruhana laughs as she clicks out her tongue to him, he rolls his eyes. But was left shocked the next moment when Ruhana collided with a servant, the coffee fell over her and then on the floor. Vineet runs to her, throwing his mug. 

The servant stands rooted at his place, shocked by the sudden collision and fearful of its consequences. 

''Dikhta nahi tumhe?? Aankh band karke chalte ho kya??'' Vineet shouted as he held Ruhana by shoulder who's composing herself. She had got startled by the sudden hard movement, her heartbeat accelerated. 

''Sorry Sir, galti se....!!" The guy tried to explain but Vineet didn't let him complete his sentence. 

He was angry with the fact that the guy almost pushed his wife and she's hurt because of him, the hot coffee had fallen over her and he couldn't bear that. 

.....

Anamika dialed his father's number who picked up the call in the first ring, it seems he was waiting for the call. 

''Ana, why didn't you tell me anything?? Mujhe bina puche, bina bataye tum wahan kaise chali gayi?'' Nachiket questions, he seems to be angry. 

Anamika gulped,''papa wo jeej... Jeej aaye the aanchanak, mujhe nahi pata tha iss baare mei.'' Anamika tells him but he doesn't seem to be pleased. 

''Oh shut up!! Jhooth mat bolo tum mujh se! I know you well, tumne hi Ruhana se kaha hoga Vineet ko yaha bhejne ko and its obvious ki Vineet uski baat nahi taalega warna toh wo tumhaare liye yahan kabhi nahi aayega, itna toh main janta hoon!'' Nachiket says confidently. 

''Meine Di se aisa kuch na kaha!! Agar Jeej ko mujhe yahan nahi lana toh mujhe bhi koi shauk nahi hai yahan aane ka!'' She snaps at her father. 

''Dare you use that tone again!! Tumhaari issi badtameezi ki wajah se main tumhe wahan bhejna nahi chahta. Mere piche toh tum apni Maa ko baaton mei uljha ke chali gayi lekin agar ek bhi complain aai tumhari toh mujh se bura koi nahi hoga!!'' He warns her. 

''Aapse bura koi hai bhi nahi!!'' Anamika mutters. 

''What!!'' Nachiket shouted. 

''Nothing!!'' Anamika replied in the same tone. 

''Tum baaj nahi aaogi na apni harkat se!'' Nachiket says in anger, receiving her harsh and disrespectful tone. 

''Meine kya kiya?? Aap bewajah mujhe suna rahe ho jabki mujhe kuch pata hi nahi tha even Di ko bhi nahi pata tha. Aapke ladle damad ne sab khud kiya hai na ki kissi ke kehne pe toh agar aapko kuch kehna hai toh unko kaho mujhe nahi! Aur ek baat, aapko koi jarurat nahi unke aage piche itna karne ki nahi toh main aapka bhanda phod dungi unke samne fir baithe reh jaaoge aap.'' Anamika shouted and cut the call before his father's reply, she even blocked the number so that he wouldn't be able to call again. 

Anamika takes a deep breath, she didn't want to shout at him but she was already irritated and Nachiket added fuel to the fire that she couldn't control. Also, she knows that she's not going any soon, at least not before a month or two and by then the news will get cold and her father would get another hot burning news about her which will make him forget the current incident. 

She smiles to herself when at the same time she hears some loud voice coming from outside the room, she makes her way to see the matter. 

....

Anamika moves out of the room and finds Vineet scolding a servant badly while Ruhana was trying to calm him. 

She headed to them and asked about the matter but they were so engaged that her question remained untouched. 

''Karne kya aaye the tum yahan?? Dekh ke chala bhi nahi jata tum logon se!" Vineet shouted. 

''Sorry Sir! Mains windows band kar raha tha ghar ki, bahar barish sa mausam hai aur Pichli baar aapne kaha tha barish ke waqt sabhi windows band karje rakhne ko!'' The guy tells him still it doesn't calm Vineet but Ruhana asks the guy to leave. 

''Vineet relax, kyun itna gussa kar rahe ho tum! Main thik hoon!'' Ruhana expostulates him.

''Tumhe laag sakti thi! Itni garam coffee thi aur wo cups bhi tumpe gir gaye. Ye log ek kaam nahi kar sakte dhang se!'' He scoffs to which Ruhana sighs, he takes things too seriously sometimes. 

''Come on Jeej! Coffee jamane pehle thandi ho chuki!'' Anamika exclaims 

Vineet glares at her,''aacha!! Tum thi yahan jo tumhe pata hai?'' He questions. 

''Nahi!! Main thi toh nahi, par itni common sense toh hai mujh mei ki coffee banane mei ek ghanta nahi lagta! Its obvious ki aap dono pakdam pakdai mei itne busy the ki coffee pehle hi thandi ho gayi aur dekho jara jo cups khud girke na toote wo kissi ko kya hurt karenge.'' Anamika says giggling. 

Vineet rolls his eyes, he doesn't like her statement. 

''Main bhi tabse yahi samjha rahi hoon isse par ye samajhne ko taiyaar hi nahi hai.'' Ruhana tells her making a face. 

''Papa ke hi damad hai akhir, kuch asar toh hoga!'' Anamika joked and laughed, Ruhana too giggled. 

''Ye koi joke ki baat nahi hai!'' Vineet glared at Anamika. 

''Come on Jeej, aap yunhi tension le rahe ho. Itni si baat ke liye aap tabse itna chilla rahe ho, aapke padoshi kya sochenge ki itna bada businessman aur ek coffee girne pe itnaa hungama kar rahe hai. Di, I tell you padoshi log kitne kaminey hote hai! Socho Jeej, kahin wo ye na samjhe aap jhagralu ho jo ki toh aap ho hi, kahin unko ye na lage ki aap kanjus ho jo coffee waste bhi na seh paa raha. Aur sahi bhi toh hai ek 10 rupaye ki coffee aur 20 rupaye ke dudh girne pe koi itna thodi chillaata hai. Aapka bas chalta toh aap parliament hila de - - The Coffee Bachao Act pass karwa doge aap!!!'' Anamika teases him while Ruhana laughs out loud at her joke. 

''Point hai, ye kar sakta aisa!'' Ruhana exclaims, laughing. 

''I know, Papa ke jimmedaar, samajhadaar, helpful damad jo hai. Popatlaal ki tarah duniya hila sakte hai!'' Anamika exclaims, Vineet growls in anger while the sisters laugh at his act.
