Vidyut (excitedly): What's the plan?

Harsha (glaring at Vidyut): Don't you have one?

Vidyut (gaping): Bichare bache se itni sari umeede? Uthte hi 2-2 pranks sochne ki jimedari... Bhagwan sukoon ke 2 pal nahi hai zindagi me. (So many hopes from a small child? Just after waking, I have to plan two pranks. Oh God! There is no peace in life.)

He sighed dramatically. Harsha twisted his ear.

Harsha (trying to intimidate): What were you saying?

Vidyut (fake crying): Bhabhi dard ho raha hai (It's paining)

Saurav (smirking): We know! That's why bhabhi is punishing you.

Harsha left his ear. He whined dramatically, rubbing his ear. Ruhi chuckled.

Saurav: I have a plan in mind. We all are in?

Ruhi stared at him shocked. She coughed.

Ruhi (stuttering): Umm... bhaiya... bhai.. I will bru. Brush.. my tee... teeth.

With this, she ran inside. Harsha's room, then the bathroom.

Her actions were noticed by all.

Saurav: Umm... I have a plan.

Harsha nodded. They discussed something among themselves.

Vidyut (declaring): I will be recording.

Saurav (glaring at him): No way! You are the one who will be performing.

Vidyut: When I planned everything. I performed it as well. Now, you are planning it. So, Uh-huh! Hmm...

Saurav: But-

Harsha (sternly): Saurav, Vidyut if you didn't stop your fight now. I will cancel this prank.

Saurav (declaring his decision): See Vidu, I don't think you want to cancel this prank. I will be fine even if this is cancelled. I won't be performing. That's it.

Vidyut (sulking): I have no other choice.

Saurav (patting his back): Good good! Let's start, and most importantly, don't overdo.

Vidyut gave him a side eye look. Saurav took his phone. The three walked into Anirudh's room.

Saurav hid on the side with a video recording on. Vidyut sat on the bed beside Anirudh and Harsha stood a little behind Vidyut.

Taking a deep breath, Vidyut traced Anirudh's face with his fingers. Anirudh was about to pull his hand, considering Harsha's but Vidyut immediately pulled back his hand. Anirudh shifted a little and slept again.

Vidyut shifted close to him and blew softly on Anirudh's face.

Anirudh (smiling in sleep): Harshuu... It's Sunday. Sone do please (Let me sleep)

Harsha and Saurav were trying to stuff their laughter. Ruhi was standing in the washroom. She placed her hands on her mouth to stuff her laughter. Vidyut started to massage Anirudh's hair. Anirudh smiled and was ready to doze off. Vidyut pinched his hair lightly.

Anirudh held Vidyut's hand, smiling, and pulled him towards himself. Because of a sudden jerk, Vidyut shouted, waking Anirudh and Khushi in shock. As Khushi woke up, she was crying. Whereas, Anirudh opened his eyes to find Vidyut's face close to his.

Anirudh pushed Vidyut and Vidyut fell down on his butt. Harsha quickly ran towards Khushi, taking her in her arms, trying to calm her while controlling her laugh.

Saurav, Ruhi and Shalini burst out laughing, looking at Anirudh and Vidyut's expressions.

Khushi stopped crying and stared at Saurav and Ruhi who were laughing.

She turned to her mother, who was staring at Anirudh standing in front of Vidyut, folding his arms, glaring angrily and Vidyut, lying on the floor with an innocent pout. Khushi giggles looking at them.

In a snap, Vidyut stood up and ran behind Harsha to save his life.

Khushi (wiggling in Harsha's arms): Papa...

Anirudh came towards Harsha and Vidyut. He took Khushi in his arms and pecked her cheek. He then turned towards Saurav.

Anirudh (pointing at Saurav): Here! Come in this line...

He ordered. Saurav gulped and obeyed his words. He stood behind Vidyut but Vidyut then went behind, pushing Saurav ahead. Harsha noticed Saurav and Vidyut. She too followed Vidyut's action and pushed Saurav in front.

Saurav blinked his eyes in shock and gave them a disbelief look.

Anirudh (raising his eyebrow): So?

Saurav: Ummm.... Haa! I have to go. You know Mihika is calling me. I have to attend it or she will throw tantrums. Okay? Yeah... So, bye...

With this, he started to walk towards the door. Ruhi giggles loudly.

Before Anirudh could question Harsha. She pushed Vidyut in front.

Vidyut (narrowing his eyes): Don't even ask me anything. I have to go. My wife is calling me.

Listening to his reply, everyone was staring at him. Saurav too stood staring at him for his excuse.

Vidyut: Uh-huh!! I am single okay? I am talking about my future wife. It's telepathy. Aap log kya jano what is old school romance? (How would you know)

With this, he ran out of the room and hid behind the wall to see Harsha. Everyone stared at Vidyut's disappearing figure as he spoke so much nonsense.

Harsha (staring here and there): Hmm... Oh yeah! My husband is calling me. Let me go. Bye...

Anirudh (shocked): Husband?

He shook his head in disbelief.

Anirudh: I am warning you. Stop being with Vidyut. See, he is corrupting your brain.

Shalini (Ordering): Stop fights and pranks now. Anirudh, Saurav prepare the breakfast quickly. Harsha get Khushi fresh. Ruhi, bache, come here.

She ordered everyone and then pushed the wheel of her chair. She grabbed Vidyut's arm, pulling him along with her. Obeying Shalini's order. Everyone started their respective work.

After getting fresh, Anirudh and Saurav began to prepare breakfast for all. Harsha, Shalini and Khushi were in the living area. Vidyut and Ruhi were setting Vidyut's study table, and he messed everything up over there.

With Ruhi and Vidyut...

Ruhi (holding Vidyut's book): Itni badi book kyun dete hai school me? (Why are such large books given in School?)

Vidyut: It's not school, it's college. Books are for study.

Ruhi (pouting): When I will be to go to college. I too have to study these large large books?

Vidyut nodded, and Ruhi pouted.

Vidyut: What do you like for breakfast?

Ruhi stared at him for a few seconds.

Ruhi (timidly): Anirudh Bhaiya ke pohe.

Vidyut (making Eww face): I don't like it at all.

Ruhi (frown): No! I love it.

Vidyut sighed and nodded. They continued their work.

Vidyut: Ruhi look set these books here.

He explained to her. She nodded and started following.

Vidyut went out. He went into the kitchen. Anirudh and Saurav were preparing breakfast.

Vidyut: Ani bhaiya...

Listening to his voice. Saurav and Anirudh turned to face him.

Vidyut (requesting with an innocent smile): Can you please prepare your special Pohe for breakfast

Saurav (raising his eyebrow): But you don't like pohe then how?

Vidyut (toothy smile): Who said I am asking for myself? Harsha Bhabhi loves it. Can't he do the bare minimum for Bhabhi?

Anirudh rolled his eyes at his drama.

Vidyut (clearing his throat, ordering): Prepare Pohe as well for today, am I clear?

Anirudh took a rolling pin. Vidyut stared at him for a second and ran out of there.

Anirudh and Saurav burst out laughing. Whereas, Vidyut smiled in contentment knowing, his brother will make poha which Ruhi is loving.

He sighed, joining Ruhi once again.
