He moves out of the room, and Poonam follows him and stops "nahi Vikram... gusse mei kuch mat karo!"

Vikram turned and asked "to kya karun?? Nahi dekh sakta main usko aise.."

"himmat rakho Vikram! Tum Aaru ko sambhalo chacha chachi ko unke har ek kiye ki saza main dungi!" she cupped his face.

Vikram calmed down hearing her. He nodded and smiled "Uske liye kuch banata hun.."

Poonam thought of something "Nahi vikram.. Tum aaram karo aaj khana chachi banayengi" she said

Vikram gave her a confused look, how will she make Kavya cook food? She smiles mischievously and assured him it will happen.  

"abhi tumne unhe jail bheja hai" he said

"haan lekin tumhare chachaji unhe bahar le hi aayenge.." She replied. 

Kavya and Nitin returned home. Kavya stared at her husband "Aate hi iss ladki ne mujhe hawalat bheja! chodungi nahi ise main" she said anger 

They sat down on the dining table. They were shocked to find the empty utensils. Nitin shouted "Vikram! kaha marr gaye ho tum" 

Poonam steps downstairs and shot a deadly glare at him "tameez se bulayie mere pati ko Mr. Nitin Malhotra" 

Kavya shouts "tum mere pati se tameez se baat karo.. bade hai unka naam nahi le sakti ho tum" 

"aap logo ki jo harkatein hai na.. uss hisab se toh mujhe aap logo ko koi aur hi naam se bulana chahiye" Poonam retorted. She had anger at them for troubling the two most important people in her life. 

"Poonam.. acha nahi hoga tumhare liye humse panga mat lo tum ache se janti ho hum kya kya kar sakte hai" Nitin warned her

Poonam smiles "haa.. janti hun main! Vikram ki kamzori ka fayda uthana jante ho aap log par ab aisa nahi hoga.. kyuki uski sabse badi takaat aapke saamne dhal banke khadi hai! ab iss ghar mein wo hoga jo main chahti hun isliye chachiji.. aap kitchen mein jaake khana banayie" she ordered crossing her arms 

"main aisa kuch nahi karne waali hun!" Kavya refused

"thik hai.. mat banayie lekin Maria aur baaki ke naukar mei se aur koi bhi nahi banayega" Poonam said firmly 

"just shut up! Maria jaake khana banao" Nitin ordered.

Poonam rolled her eyes towards her and smiled "Maria main tumhe ghar jaane ki ijazat deti hun ye iss ghar ki bahu kah rahi hai aur iss ghar ke maalik ki bhabhi maa.." 

Maria smiles hearing her and leaves the house. Kavya laughs "use bhejne se main khana nahi banane waali hun! bhooka toh tum sab bhi rahoge" 

Poonam thought something and said "baat toh sahi kaha aapne.. toh ek kaam karti hun abhi uss mental hospital ke doctor ko police station leke jaati hun aur complain kar deti hun kaise aapke pati ne aur.." this was enough to scare her as she didn't want to go the jail again. 

"nahi.. main banati hun" She said and walked towards the kitchen. 

She began to prepare the food and fumed in anger "aa gayi phirse mere sar pe chadke nachne! lekin zyada der rahegi nahi." 

Aarav's Room

Poonam enters the room with two food plates, she places them on the side table and sees Vikram standing near the window. She walked to him and asked, "Aaru kaha hai?" 

Vikram points behind the door, Poonam turns and finds him sitting in the corner with excessive fear. 

She held his hand and pulled him to the bed. She made him sit and picked up the food plate. She forwards it to him "chalo khana khao.. " he looked at Aarav and was concerned for him. 

Poonam held his face in between her palm and Vikram again eyed at her. "use khana main khila dungi tum toh khao.." 

He refuses "nahi kha sakta Poonam.. niwala muh se neeche jayega hi nahi please.. ise khana khilao" he almost pleaded her with moist eyes. 

Poonam moved closer to Aarav and smiled "bhook nahi lagi hai tumhe?" she asked softly. 

He didn't respond but just looked down. 

Poonam sits down opposite him and said "Vikram aa jao aaj hum teeno aise hi khana khate hai.." 

Vikram smiles, he walks picks up the other plate, and settles down beside Poonam. Poonam glanced at both of them "toh ab mujhe tum dono ko hi khana khilana padega.." 

She takes a bit in her hand and forwards towards Aarav, he stared at her but didn't open his mouth. Poonam moves to Vikram and ask him to open his mouth "Tum toh khalo" 

He takes the bite in his mouth "bahut hi acha khana hai.. chalo Aaru tum bhi khao" he said with a light smile on his face. 

He takes a bite in his hand and forwards it to him.

Aarav recalled something in the mental asylum. He jerked his hand away and folded up his legs placing his head on the wall. 

"Aaru thoda sa khalo" Poonam tries to convince him.  He gets up and moves to the bed. He lays down covering himself with the blanket and closes his eyes. 

Vikram leaves the room and comes downstairs, he sees Kavya and Nitin having dinner together. He walked to them and held Nitin's collar "rishte ka koi lihaj nahi rakha na aapne? kaise kar sakte ho aap ye sab? kaise?" he shouted. 

Nitin said "collar chodo mera Vikram.." 

"jaan se maar dunga aapko main!!" Vikram raged in anger as he couldn't tolerate Aarav's condition. 

Poonam comes running and held his hand "Vikram chodo unhone" 

"nahi Poonam sirf iss daulat ke liye inn logo ne hamari zindagi barbaad kardi!! paise rishton se bhadkar hai inke liye are maa baap ki jagah di thi inhe aur inn logo ne.." Vikram raged 

"Vikram chodo.. please" Poonam requests and Vikram left him with a jerk. 

"just calm down Vikram!! sab thik ho jayega" she assured him. 

"tum jeetke bhi haar gayi Poonam.. humne toh phet bharke khana kha liya.." Kavya laughed and walked to her room with Nitin. 

Vikram sits down on the chair with a thud, he was feeling so helpless. Poonam hands him water "pani peeyo" 

He pushes it away "mujhe nahi peena hai" 

"agar tum aisa karoge toh Aaru ko kaise sambhaloge haan?" she asked softly. He hugged her by waist and breaks down in tears.

Poonam smears his head "Sab meri galti hai Poonam! agar main tumhe ghar se nahi nikalta toh mera Aaru iss haal mein nahi aata.. tumpe vishwas na karne ki saza mil rahi hai mujhe toot gaya hun main Poonam na toh main acha pati ban paaya aur na hi ek acha bhai.." 

She could feel his pain, he was regretting his mistake which he hadn't done intentionally. "galti tumhari tab bhi nahi thi aur aaj bhi nahi hai Vikram.. aur kaun kehta hai tum ache pati nahi they haan?? ye toh bilkul mat kehna tum ache bhai nahi ho.." she said consolling him. 

Vikram looks up at her, she smiles at him "hum phirse hamare Aaru ko pehle jaisa karenge.. aur chachaji chachi se sab wapas lenge.. mere saath doge na?" she asked

"hamesha.." he said 

His phone rings, he picked it up and it was from his boss. He picked it up "ji.. Sir haa.. wo mera bhai" 

"tumhara bhai I don't care! kal tum mujhe office mein chahiye warna tumhe job se nikal dunga main" he threatened him. His tone was loud enough for Poonam to listen. She fumed in anger listening to this. 

She snatched the phone from his hand and shouted "Mr. Shastri.. how dare you shout at my husband? Vikram aapke liye kaam nahi karenge samjhe" she ends the call. 

Vikram sighed deeply "Poonam ye kya kiya tumne?" 

"tum waha kaam nahi karoge Vikram! tum khudko zalil hote dekh sakte ho main nahi.. sabko order dena wala dusron ke order follow kar raha hai ab wo wajah ghar aa gayi hai toh tum manager ka kaam nahi karoge samjhe.. tum ab Aaru ke paas rahoge" she said

Vikram nodded and said "jaisa tum kaho.. entrepreneur of the year ki baat kaise taal sakta hun main?" 

Poonam smiles and then asks him to have food. "chalo ab khana khalo..  ladne ke liye bhi takaat chahiye hoti hai" she said meaningfully. She feeds him with her own hands and he also feeds her. 

Maria comes over and apologizes "I am sorry bhabhi hum agar aapko sab bata dete toh.." 

Poonam glanced at her and said "maafi mat mango Maria tumhari majburi samajh sakti hun main.. thank you mere Vikram ka khayal rakhne ke liye aur uski aankh se jhooth ka parda hatane ke liye" 

Maria smiles, Vikram eyed at her "haan Maria.. sahi kah rahi hai Poonam" 

They  heard the sound from Aarav's room. VikNam (Vikram and Poonam) rushed upstairs and found him screaming "nahi.. nahi" and crying.

Vikram held his hand gently and asked "Aaru kya hua?? haan bolo kya hua?" 

He held his shirt tightly and kept on staring at something on the floor. Vikram caressed his head and pulled him into his embrace. Poonam sees in the direction and sees a lamp wire on the floor. She picked it up and Aarav hide his face in Vikram's chest "nahi.. jhatka nahi" 

Vikram recalls the scenario which he saw in the mental asylum "Shh.. koi jhatke nahi dega... " 

Vikram didn't feel any moment in him and realised he had fallen unconscious. He makes him lay down on the bed properly and covers him with the blanket. Poonam fumed in anger as she understood who had pulled out the wire. 

A smile appears on her face "bahut shauk hai na jhatke dene ke.. ab main dungi aapko jhatke"
