It was night, and Poonam changed into a night dress and moved to the dressing. She tied her hair into a bun and at the same moment, Vikram placed his hands around her waist from behind. A smile curved up her lips, she glanced at him through the mirror and asked "so gaya Aaru?"

"Haa.. isliye toh aa paaya main tumhare paas" he said placing his head on her shoulder and kissing on her neck.

She turned to him and asked "kya baat hai bahut pyaar aa raha hai mujhpar"

"Woh toh roj hi aata hai.." he said pulling her closer and locking her in his arms.

He was about to kiss her lips, he heard the loud voice of his brother "bhai... aap aapki dost ke saath kya kar rahe ho?"

Vikram immediately left Poonam, he turned and found Aarav standing near the door. Vikram glared at him and said in a stammered tone "Aaru.. tu..tu..tu toh so gaya tha na?"

Aarav eyed him and asked "Aap inke saath kya kar rahe ho?"

"Mai... wo.." Vikram didn't know what to answer him.

"Tu yahan kya kar raha hai Aaru? Main sulake aaya tha na tujhe" Vikram cross questioned him.

"Nahi aapne mujhe thik se nahi sulaya" he said making a face.

Vikram moved to him and said "chal ab sula deta hun.."

Aarav denies it, he sits down on his bed and said "Aaj main aapke saath yahan soyunga"

Vikram glanced at Poonam, he takes a deep breath. If Aarav sleeps here, Poonam will have to leave the bedroom and he can't let her sleep outside her own bedroom. He really wishes he could explain to Aarav that now his wife stays with him in his room.

Aarav glared at her "ye yahan kyun hai? Aap bahar jaao mere bhai ke room se" he shouts at her.

Vikram said "Aaru aise nahi baat karte hai na.."

Aarav glared at him and hugged him tightly. He said "toh inko jaane ko kaho.. Aaru ko aap ke alawa aur koi nahi chahiye"

Vikram looked at Poonam, he parts the hug and cupped his face "Acha.. bhai abhi aapko aapke room mein sula dete hai"

"Nahi yahi room mei.." he said adamantly. He pulled him towards the bed and asked him to sit down.

He eyed Poonam, he moved to her, and grabbed her hand. He pushes her out of the room "Aap jao" he shuts the door in her face.

Vikram sighed deeply, Aarav happily lays down on the bed keeping his head on Vikram's lap. Vikram caressed his head, he glanced at Poonam who had lightly opened the door. He apologized on Aarav's behalf to her, and she smiled and closed the door.

Kavya was passing by, she saw Poonam standing outside the door. She asked, "beta bahar aise kyu ho?"

Poonam tied the belt of her gown. Kavya understands that Aarav must have asked her to get out of the room.

"ye toh roj hi hoga.." she commented

Poonam smiled "koi baat nahi hai chachiji jab mujhe bhabhi maan lega khud room tak layega.. Aap mujhe guest room dikhayengi?"

Kavya nodded and showed her the room.

Aarav played with Vikram's fingers. He noticed the ring in his hand and asked "bhai ye kya hai"

"ring hai aaru.." Vikram replies

"kitni pyaari hai mujhe bhi chahiye' Aarav demanded.

Vikram smiled as this was his engagement ring."laa dunga tujhe dusri" He said.

Aarav chuckles upon hearing that. Vikram taps his head lightly and signs his favorite song so that he could sleep. After about 20 minutes Aarav sleeps. Vikram shifts his head to the pillow and gets up but Aarav was holding his hand tightly. Vikram kisses his forehead and slowly removes his hand.

Vikram moves out of the room and searches for Poonam. He finally finds her in the guest room.

"sorry Aaru ne tumhe aise" he apologized

She smiled "it's okay Vikram.. Anjaane mei kar raha hai na"

Vikram asked "tum gussa nahi ho?"

"nahi hun Vikram.. Aur tum yahan kyu aa gaye? Raat ko uthke tumhe nahi dekhega toh phir yahan aa jayega" Poonam said.

Vikram sighed deeply "yahi buri aadat hai uski mere alawa kisiki nahi sunta hai.. Sabse aise behave karta hai jaise sab uske dushman hai" he complained

Poonam smiled "tumhare alawa aur kispe vishwas karega?"

"tumpar" he said hopefully

Poonam nodded "kuch Waqt do ho jayega."

He nodded and pulled her to the bed. They lay down in each other's embrace. After an hour Vikram moves back to the bedroom

He lays down beside Aarav and he instantly keeps his hand on his chest. Vikram smiles and ruffles his hair lightly.

The next morning, Vikram gets up and finds Poonam standing in front of the dressing. She gets ready for the day, she glanced at him through the mirror "Good morning"

He smiles "Good morning"

She turns and said "main neeche breakfast banane jaa rahi hun tum aa jao neeche Aaru ko taiyyar karke"

Vikram nodded and Poonam headed downstairs to the kitchen. Vikram moved to the bed and placed his hand on Aarav's head "Aaru... utho"

Aarav turns his face to another side, Vikram sighed deeply "Aaru utho.." he called him again.

Aarav gets up and made a face. Vikram ruffled his hair "chalo.. Jaldi se ready ho jao"

"Office aapko jaana hai na.. Aaru ko nahi" Aarav said innocently

"Haan lekin mere alawa kisiki toh tum sunte ho nahi.. Chalo ab" Vikram said and Aarav gets up from the bed.

He runs to the bathroom and finds some strange new things. "Bhaiya ye kya hai?" he asked looking at the Poonam's nighty.

Vikram comes to the bathroom and sighed "ye.. Ye"

Aarav looks at the dress and gave him a questionable look "ye kiska hai?"

Vikram takes it from his hand "ye.. Kiska nahi hai chal tu brush kar" he said.

Vikram hands him his brush and he does it. Aarav doesn't want to take a bath today so he runs out of the room. Vikram came behind him and sighed "Aaru nahalo.."

"Nahi.." He denies it and is around the hall.

"Acha thik hai nashta kar ab" Vikram gave up.

Aarav nodded, he went to the kitchen and saw his milk had already been prepared. He throws the glass on the floor in anger and it lands straight on the feet of Vikram.

"Aaru.. ye kya harkat hai?" he questioned

"Mujhe bas aapke haath ka dudh chahiye.." Aarav stated adamantly.

Vikram moved to the shelf and picked up another glass. He poured the milk and warmed it. Aarav was standing there with his chocolate box in his hand. Vikram eyed him and asked "main jab jaata tha tab toh chachi deti thi na tumhe dudh.."

Aarav made a face "sirf aap.." he said adamantly.

Vikram sighed deeply, he hands him the glass, and Aarav drank it. They moved to the dining table for the breakfast.

Aarav's eyes lightened up seeing maggie "yummy.." he picked up the bowl and began eating it.

Afterward, he moved to the garden to play. Poonam stepped out of the kitchen and handed Vikram's tiffin "ye lo tumhara tiffin"

Vikram smiled "tiffin.."

"Haa.. lekin roj nahi milne waala hai aaj mera mood tha toh de rahi hun.." Poonam replied.

"Ho sakta hai dupahar ko main aake lunch ghar pe hi karun?" he said eyeing at Aarav from the window.

"Nahi Vikram aaj tum ghar wapas nahi aaoge.. Shyam ko aaoge" Poonam said.

Vikram touched her forehead lightly "nahi Poonam.. Anjaane mein hi sahi par Aaru tumhe takleef de raha hai"

"Anjaane mei na Vikram.. Aur tumne hi kaha tha mujhe uska dost banna padega toh waqt do mujhe please" Poonam said. 

"lekin..." he was worried

"no lekin vekin! Tum aaj shyam se pehle ghar nahi aaoge toh nahi aaoge" Poonam retorted

Vikram smiled "Thik hai.. Main uska phone nahi lunga par agar Aaru tumse control nahi hua toh please mujhe bula lena" he said in concern.

Poonam held his hand "aisa kuch nahi hoga.. Trust me"

Vikram agreed and kissed her forehead. He left for office and Poonam waved him bye.

Later in the afternoon, Aarav returns home after playing. The servant sighed "Aarav baba.. Aap jhoothe bahar utara karo na phirse saaf karna padega"

He glared at him and dirties the floor more running around. Poonam glanced at him "Aarav... jhoothe utaro" she said softly.

Aarav glanced at her angrily "no.." he denied and runs upstairs to his room.

Poonam comes to his room and keeps the food plate on the table. "Aaru.. khana" she said.

"Bhaiya.." he demanded.

"Vikram office mein hai na.. Unhe pareshan nahi karo khana khalo" Poonam tries to convince him.

Aarav does something which shocks Poonam to the core.
