Chapter 23: His demand

Poonam returns home after a day, she finds the house in complete silence which is quite rare when Aarav keeps on running around.

"Aaj ghar mein itni shanti kaise hai?" she thought. She heard the noise from the kitchen, she moves and saw Vikram feeding him food.

She said "Are.. aaj Vikram aap office nahi gaye?"

Aarav's eyes light up hearing her voice, he jumps down from the slab and runs to her. He hugs her tightly and Poonam was surprised at his act.

She could sense her shoulder getting wet and assumed he had begun to shed tears. Poonam moves her fingers in between his hair and tries to calm him down "Aaru.. kya hua bache? Roh kyun rahe ho?"

"Aap kyu gayi Aaru ko chodke? Aap dost ho lekin jaise bhai aur main saath rehte hai waise aap kyu nahi rah sakte ho?" he questioned her.

Poonam was confused hearing his questions, she rolled her eyes towards Vikram and asked him in sign language what happened to him. Vikram shook his head negatively.

She parted the hug and then noticed the bandage on his forehead. She was shocked "ye.. Aaru tumhe chot kaise lagi?" she asked

"Pata nahi.. Aap ab apni family ke paas toh nahi jaogi na Pune?" he questioned her

Poonam thought for a moment, she played along with him "Aaru mera ghar hai na waha.. Ye toh aapke bhai ka ghar hai main yahan reh thodi sakti hun"

"Kyun nahi? Aap bhai se shaadi karlo toh aap yahan rah sakti ho na.. Aur Aaru ki bhabhi ban jao" He said innocently.

Vikram looked at him shockingly, a smile appears on Poonam's face upon hearing his words. "Kya?? Aap kya kah rahe ho?"

"Sachi.. Maine na wo movie dekhti thi usne bataya tha uncle ki shaadi hoti hai aunty se.. Chachi aur chacha ki bhi hui na.. Mumma ki papa se hoti hai waise bhi agar aapki aur bhai ki ho jayegi toh aap meri bhabhi ho jaogi aur iss ghar mein reh sakti ho" he said with excitment.

Vikram was trying hard to control his laughter.

"Lekin aapke bhai thodi mujhse shaadi karenge" Poonam said teasingly.

"Kyun nahi karenge? Wo aapke saath kitne games khelte hai aur Aaru ko chintu ne bataya aap dono jo games khelte ho na wo sirf wahi kehlte hai jinki shaadi hoti hai.." he replied

Vikram run to him and covered his mouth "kya seekhata rehta hai tera dost Chintu tujhe aisa kuch nahi hai"

Aarav bits on his hand and Vikram jerks in pain. "Wo sach bolta hai aap Aaru ko kuch nahi batate ho.. Dekho bhai dost se shaadi karlo warna Aaru bhi dost ke saath Pune chala jayega" he said holding Poonam's arm.

Vikram smiled hearing him "teri baat maine kabhi taali hai jo ab taalunga? Main kar lunga Poonam se shaadi" he said tapping his cheek lightly.

"Woohu... ab dost hamare saath rahegi aur Aaru unhe miss bhi nahi karega ab.. Chalo ab dono aaru ko kissi do.." he said

Vikram and Poonam exchanged glances with each other. They kissed his cheek.

Aarac then run out of the kitchen "bhabhi aa gayi.. Aaru ki bhabhi aa gayi" he shouted

They looked at him lovingly. Poonam held his hand and smiled "Vikram.. Mere Pune jaane se Aaru ko meri kami mehsus hui.. Aur wo I mean.. Ab wo khud" she just couldn't hold her happiness.

"Hmm.." he told her what happened that night. Poonam had tears in her eyes hearing him "what? Tumne mujhe tab hi phone kyun nahi kiya Vikram??"

"Kar deta toh aaj jo suna wo nahi hota na" he said

Poonam sighed deeply, she hugged him "ab main ek din ke liye bhi Aaru ko chodke nahi jaungi Vikram.. Use kitni chot lagi meri wajah se"

"Aisa mat socho Poonam.. Dekho kitna khush hai yahi toh hum chahte they na Aaru tumhe bhabhi maan le.." Vikram said

She nodded in yes, Aarav saw them and made a face "Aaru ko huggie nahi diya.."

They moved toward him and hugged him from both sides sharing a perfect happy family moment.

"Main na apne doston ko batake aata hun ki Aaru ki bhabhi aayegi yay.." he runs out of the house.

Poonam shouted "sambhalke Aaru"

Vikram thought for a moment. Poonam looked at him and tilted his face towards her with her finger "ab kya soch rahe ho tum?"

"Kuch nahi Poonam.." he refuses and moves to attend the call. Poonam glances at him doubtfully.

Kavya and Nitin returned from the society party and Poonam shared the news with them.

"Are waah ye toh bahut hi achi baat hai ab humhe tum dono ke reception ki tayari kar deni chahiye" Kavya suggested

Vikram denies "nahi chachi.. Reception nahi hoga"

"Lekin kyun beta? Abhi kaafi jane nahi jante hai tum dono ki shaadi ke baare mein aur ab toh Aaru bhi maan gaya hai" Nitin exclaimed.

Vikram closes his eyes for a moment "janta hun chachaji"

"Kya baat hai Vikram??" Poonam asked holding his hand. He looked at her..

"Poonam maine tumse shaadi ki.. Lekin uska hissa Aaru nahi tha.. Meri zindagi ke haseen pal ka hissa nahi ban paaya Aaru aur uske accident se pehle jab wo normal tha na.. To..." his voice choked.

Three years Ago

Vikram had returned from the office and he sees a family sitting in the hall. He was confused as they were unknown people. Aarav was sitting beside the girl and questioning her "haa toh aap kaam kya karti hai bhabhi?"

Vikram's eyes become wide when he referred the girl as "bhabhi"

"Bank mei manager hun" she replied

"Wow.. matlab ab mujhe bank mein line mein itna lamba nahi lagna padega" he laughed

"Aaru.." Vikram muttered in light anger

Aarav smiled seeing him "lijiye aa gaye dulhe raja"

Aarav got up and pulled him to the couch. He made him sit down and tightened the grip so that he doesn't move.

"Bhai.. meri ijzat ka sawal hai chup chap baithe raho" Aarav whispers in his ear.

"Ye jabardasti hai.. Mujhe nahi karni hai shaadi samjha tu" Vikram warned him.

"Rishta toh maine pakka kar diya hai bhai.. Ab toh meri bhabhi aake hi rahegi" Aarav said adamatly.

"Nitinji.. Toh ab hum aapse sagai waale din milte hai" The girl's father greeted them.

"Koi sagai nahi hogi mujhe shaadi nahi karni hai" Vikram declared getting up from the couch.

"Bhai lekin.."

"Aaru maine kaha na mujhe nahi karni hai shaadi abhi" Vikram said

Nitin apologized to the girl's family and they left from there. Aarav gets angry "bhai kya hai ye?? Kitni muskil se maine apne liye bhabhi chuni thi aapne mana kar diya"

"Tujhe kyun chahiye bhabhi? Main aur tu kaafi nahi hai ek dusre ke liye haan?" Vikram questioned

"Nahi.. mujhe bhabhi chahiye! Papa ke saath aap kaam mein kitna busy rehte they.. Aur unke jaane ke baad toh aap aur bhi busy ho gaye ho.. Chachi bhi apni kitty parties mein busy rehti hai aur main akela ho jaata hun! Bhabhi hongi toh wo meri dost banegi main unse aapki complain kar sakta hun!" he said

"Aaru.. tu bhi toh mere saath rehta hai na office mei" Vikram said

"Haan rehta hun par hum waha pe kaam karte hai.. Ghar aake aap thak jaate ho isliye main aapko pareshan nahi karta hun agar bhabhi hongi toh wo aapka bhi khayal rakhengi aur iss ghar mein maa ki kami puri ho jayegi" he said with tears in his eyes

Vikram inhales deeply "Aaru.." he tries to hold him but Aarav jerks his hand away.

"Nahi mujhe aapse baat nahi karni hai ek bhabhi bhi nahi laa sakte aap mere liye.." he turns to other side.

Vikram hugs him from behind and said "acha baba.. Le aaunga tere liye bhabhi"

"Bhai mujhe bewakuf mat banao aap.. Kal main ek aur bhabhi dundhonga toh aap gussa ho jaoge.." he said as he knows his brother behaviour.

"Nahi karunga.. Tu jise pasand karega usse shaadi kar lunga main" Vikram assured him

Aarav's face lights up hearing his words. He turns and said "toh thik hai.. Ab aapki shaadi hogi aur sab tayari main karunga it will be grand wedding" he shouted

Vikram came out trance of his thoughts. Poonam rolls her eyes towards Aarav who was trying to remove his shoes but struggling to open his shoelaces.

"Phir uske kuch din baad hi iska accident ho gaya Poonam maine Pune mein tumhare saath shaadi ki tumhe khone ke darr se.. Lekin ab main Aaru ko kiya hua vachan nibhana chahta hun! Kya hum Aaru ke liye phirse sab rasmein kar sakte hai?" he asked with tears in his eyes

Poonam held his hand tightly "ye bhi koi puchne ki baat hai Vikram? Uss waqt toh wo shaadi adhuri thi na chacha chachi ka aashirwad mila aur na Aaru ki excitment dekhne ka mauka.. Ab sab hoga jaisa Aaru chahta tha Grand wedding" she said with a smile on her face.

Vikram thanked her with his eyes, and she got up and moved towards Aarav.

She remembered Vikram's words..

"Bhabhi ayengi toh maa ki kami puri ho jayegi bhai.."

She bends down and unties his shoelaces. Vikram admired seeing them and takes a deep breath.
