Taking a deep breath and glaring at her kids, Anamika settled the bed. Vineet tries to talk to her,

''Rehne do Vineet, mujhe tumhari koi baat nahi sunni, chup chap apne room mei jao nahi toh fir tumhari dadi kahengi ki meine unke pote ko yahan kaam karwane ke liye khada rakha hai.'' She says sarcastically, arranging the toys. 

''Arey, main toh help hi karna chah raha tha tumhari aab mujhe kya pata tha ki dadi aa ke tamaasha kar degi. Meri kya galti ismei.'' Vineet says, clarifying actually defending himself.

''Haan mumma papa sach bol rahe hai.'' Ansh and Advay say looking at their mother, who just smiles for she knows like her husband even her kids don't take her side. Sometimes she feels, maybe she's at fault, that's why no one in the family supports her or takes her side. 

Anamika didn't reply to them but continued with her work. The whole room was messed up. It took her an hour to arrange the room. 

Vineet and the kids looked at her for a few moments but then left the room. 

Finishing her task Anamika takes a deep breath and leaves the room, she directly headed towards the kitchen. Luckily, her mother in law had already prepared dinner. Anamika helps her in laying the table. 

Soon the family gathers, Anamika serves them food and settles to feed her sons because they are really naughty and doesn't eat food by themself so she has to feed them but still the little one takes her wrong. 

Anamika tries to make them eat but they refuse to eat anything as the food wasn't of their choice. They refused and pushed away the plate a little. 

''Jab tumhe pata hai bache ye sab chijein nahi khate fir tum unke liye kuch aur kyun nahi banati?'' Shanti Bua says glaring at Anamika who stares at her kids.

She tries to make them understand but it was of no use, she sighs and moves to the kitchen to prepare something of their liking. All the while Vineet stares at his plate, he doesn't know what to do so he remains silent. 

Anamika prepares fried rice and aalu matar for her kids while the family had their dinner and then disperses to their respective rooms. 

Around 40 minutes later when Anamika stepped in the dining room with the food, she found her kids waiting for her. Anamika made them eat their food, and the kids had their meal happily. After feeding them, she asked the kids to go in their room and sleep but they denied.

''Mumma humko aise nini na aati hai, aap bhi chalo na kahani sunanaa, pleashhh'' Advay requested her in his babish voice. 

This makes Anamika angry but she calms herself, she shouldn't shout at her kids.

''Baby, mujhe abhi kaam hai. Aap dono jao room mei, main kaam khatam karke aati hoon.'' She says calmly to which they agreed and run to their room. 

Anamika takes a deep breath and cleans the table. Her head has already started to spin so she asks the housemaid to clean the kitchen while she herself heads to her kids room. 

As she stepped into the kids room, she found them waiting for her. They chuckled to see her, Anamika smiled at them. 

She secures her seat in one corner of the bed and caresses their head lightly while narrating a story - - a made up story, which doesn't exist, just like her happiness. 

Soon, the kids fell asleep. Anamika covers them with the duvet and after making sure that her kids are fine, she leaves the room. Her head was heavy and her body was aching added to that She didn't eat dinner because of the headache. Now all that she wants is to sleep. 

Not wasting her time, she directly headed towards her room.

Her body was aching badly, she felt her head would explode anytime and she would fall down. Her body doesn't seem to have energy. 

After working all day long and handling her kids at the same time aren't easy tasks. Now all that she wants is a good sleep, so that she can be able to go through tomorrow's work smoothly.

She enters the room and closes the bedroom door and marches towards the bed. She's too tired to even change her clothes. 

She slipped on her side of the bed, Vineet was sitting on his side and was doing something with his phone. She was least interested in knowing what he's doing. Anamika  lay down and closed her eyes, uff so much relief. 

But she opens them with a jerk at the very moment, feeling a touch on her waist. She turns her head and finds Vineet close to her, his hand was on her waist,making designs with his fingers, playing with her belly button and he was staring at her lovingly.

The guy is in the mood!!

Anamika removes his hand and turns to the other side, she can't handle his romantic mood right now! She can't even move her body an inch. 

But Vineet again snuggled closer to her, he hugged her from behind and placed a kiss on her shoulder.

''Vineet, please! I'm tired, let me sleep!'' She says trying to remove his hand.

Vineet scoffed, ''jaan please''he requested hiding his face in her neck as he tightened his grip around her. 

It's been a long time since they shared any good moments together. Most of the time she enters the room when he's already asleep or sleeps with kids as they request. 

Anamika turns to him,

''Vineet, why don't you understand? I'm tired and I need to sleep! Above all i'm not in the mood!'' She exclaimed and pushed him away. 

This angered Vineet, after working all day in the office doesn't he even deserve a good night? Some time and love from his wife? 

''Oh yeah! Mood! Mood mei toh tum kabhi bhi nahi rehti. You know what, I'm pissed,'' he says in anger and turns to the other side.

This triggered Anamika. What does he mean by, he's pissed? When the reality is she's pissed between him and his family.

Her trance is broken by his voice who says,

''Bas yahi bacha hai meri life mei pehle office, fir ghar aake bakwas suno aab room mei bhi, great!! You know what, you are justtt too.. ''His sentence remain incomplete as Anamika cuts him and says.

''Too boring to please you, right? Office mei sara din baith ke kaam ke badh you need rest, you need time, you need everything because you are a human but I don't deserve any of this because i'm a robot and robot's don't get tired, it can be used whenever or wherever you want!'' She shouts and descends down the bed.

Her headache increases, she feels her eyes will pop out anytime but she ignores all this and moves to the washroom taking her night dress from the cupboard while Vineet just stares at her silently. 

Well she's right, she too works all day and now he's also needing her. She not only handles the house but also their notorious kids. He sighs, he shouldn't have done all that!

Anamika comes out of the washroom and moves to the cupboard. She opened it and took out something, hiding that object with her body. 

Vineet finds it suspicious, he descended down the bed and in a swift move he stood beside her and snatched that from her hand, Anamika was left stunned at his act while Vineet shouted.

''Are you mad? Kitni baar kaha hai tumse itni medicines maat liya karo, samajh nahi aata tumhe'' he scolded her finding out that she was hiding medicines for she knew he would scold her.

Anamika tries to snatched the medicine from him, she needs that badly otherwise her head will explode.

''Mujhe kuch nahi samajhna, meri medicines wapas karo'' she ordered.

Vineet held her hand which she had stretched to take away the medicine,'' main ye wapas nahi karne wala. Tumhe pata hai na Adi (Advay) ke time kya hua, kitni complications thi. Sab inke wajah se hi still tumhe akal nahi aai'' he says, jerking her.

Anamika composed herself, ''Vineet tumhe ek baar mei kuch kyun nahi samajh aata, wapas karo meri medicine'' Anamika shouted at the top of her voice. 

''No!! Kissi kimat pe nahi. Try to understand biwi ye dawaiyan aab tumhe bacha nahi rahi hai, til - til kar tumhe maar rahi hai'' he tries to make her understand.

''Toh kyun rok rahe ho tum mujhe, maar kyun nahi jaane dete. At least everyone will be at peace and you can also find someone who can please you whenever you want.'' She says sarcastically and snatches the medicine from him successfully. 

Vineet was left speechless, he down his gaze. He moved back to the bed and sat down, is there anything left to say? She's already crossing her limits, how can she even think he needs her to please himself? 

Taking the medicine Anamika moves to her side and lays down, she tries to sleep but the medicine didn't make any change, her head is still aching. 

She turned to the other side and pressed her head with her hand. She was already dying with her problem and he pulled out an argument over that. Now, she won't be able to sleep. 

She sighs deeply and closes her eyes. It was then when she again felt a touch on her head but this time it's different, she opened her and found him massaging her head but wasn't looking at her. 

She has hurted him with her harsh words, she knows but she was angry and she couldn't help it. He was the one who started and it ended like this. 

She sighs deeply and tries to sleep, she can't even sit up at the moment and apologizes to him. While Vineet continues to massage her head, holding tears in his eyes. 

Their life's have turned upside down, his wife is angry most of the time, even his family. Was marrying the girl he loved was a mistake that he's suffering? He feels suffocated sometimes but it can't change the things around. 

Vineet takes a deep breath and looks at her who was asleep by now, tension lines were still visible on her forehead. He bent down to peck her head but her words struck his mind and he pulled away. Staring at her for a few minutes he lay down and switched off the lights but sleep was far away from his eyes.
