Evening Time

Sachin, Rajat and Vineet meet at the parking area of Sachin's office. Again, a meeting is called by Rajat and he's late too. Vineet was shouting over him frustratedly. 

''Tu insaan hai ya japal? Subha hi toh mille the hum aur fir bula liya sabko, itna muft ka time kiske pass hai barbad karne ko?'' He scolded him, pulling his hair in his fist. 

Rajat screams in pain, Sachin separates them. 

''Arey yaar, ek toh already late ho raha hai upar se tum dono ladd rahe ho.'' Sachin scoffs. 

Vineet glares at Rajat but steps back while Rajat sets his hair. 

''Main toh bas ye keh raha tha ki main jaa raha hoon toh aaj pub chalte hai. Tum dono ko message karta toh dekhte nahi isliye bulana pada yahan.'' Rajat reasoned.

''Main na aauunga!'' Vineet straightly denies, still frustrated. 

Sachin calms him,''come on Vineet, iski toh hamesha ki yahi harkat hai pehle sabko bulata hai fir khud late aata hai, rehne de. Waise bhi kal jaa raha hai toh chalte hai hum pub!'' Sachin says convincingly, though Vineet wasn't ready but agrees. 

In a fraction of a moment Vineet leaves the place as he receives a call from his mother. 

Rajat look at Sachin,''ye paagal sandh ho gaya hai, bewajah ukhadta rehta hai!'' He says receiving a fierce glare from Sachin. 

Rajat gulped down and left from there immediately.

Modi House

Standing at the door, Sachin waited for the door to be opened. He rang the doorbell again and this time a maid opened the door. Sachin smiled at her and stepped inside. He directly made his way to his room but stopped at his mother's voice.

He closed his eyes, "fir suru ho jaayengi aab ye" he thought but turned to her.

"jee maa" he spoke with a fake smile playing on his lips.

Kokila, who was in the hall came to him and asked, "tumhe jo kaam diya tha wo toh kiya na?" she questioned.

Sachin was confused as he didn't remember what she had asked him to do.

"kaunsa kaam?" he asked confusedly.

Kokila glared at him, "matlab tum bhool gaye! Meine tumse Anamika ke ghar jaake usse yahan laane ko kaha tha uske saas sasur se baat karke!" she said emphasising on each word.

Sachin let out a sigh, he totally forgot it but he can't confess this to his mother, she'll kill him for sure. 

" Haan.. Wo.. Meine Vineet se keh diya hai, usne kaha abhi Anamika ko kuch kaam hai office ka toh wo Sunday tak aa jaayegi, aaj Friday hai hi bas do din ki baat hai" he lied, Kokila narrowed her eyes. 

"Vineet se baat karke kuch hota toh kya baat thi. Tum Jaake uske mata peeta se baat kar lena kal nahi toh hum raah dekhte reh jaayenge aur Anamika aane se rahi" she says with some disappointment in her voice and moves to her room. 

...

Singhania House..

Anamika was in the kitchen preparing coffee for herself and her in law's but she was lost in her own thoughts. She wanted to visit her parents home but Vineet is not ready, he doesn't want her to go and the reason being her mother had only called her and not him because if Vineet is around her, he keeps her busy with himself only which Kokila hates. She doesn't like when Vineet drolls around Anamika.

Anamika sighs deeply, she doesn't want to break her  mother's heart by not visiting her nor does she want to go by upsetting Vineet. Her mother may not like him that much but she loves him wholeheartedly.

She can't upset any of them. The only option she is left with is to convince Vineet to let her go. 

Anamika came out of her trance with a touch on her waist, a sigh let out her lips as the cold hands made designs on her waist. 

''Aa gaye janab'' she says, steering the milk. 

It was Vineet who returned from the office.

He hid his face in her neck,''aana hi tha. Aab ghar mei itni hot and sexy biwi ho toh office mei kiska mann lagega!'' He exclaims, nibbling her neck. She winches

''Uff, itni jhoothi tarrefain. Huh, kaahan jaane ka program bana hai teeno ka batao toh jara?'' She questioned turning around. 

The guys have met today and she knows they must have planned something that's why he's buttering her.

He makes a face, ''pub!'' He replied as he pulled her. 

''Lekin I promise main jaldi aa jaayunga aur drink ko toh hath bhi nahi lagayunga!'' He exclaims making an innocent face because she doesn't like when he returns late that too drunk. 

Anamika roll her eyes,''aur tumhe lagta hai mujhe tum pe yakeen karna chahiye?'' She question narrowing her eyes as he does such promise every time but never mean it. 

''Obviously, main sach bol raha hoon.'' He says pouting. 

Anamika shook her head, she can't stop him because even if she denies he'll go, it's better to let him go. 

''Okay, okay! Jao, kam se kam ek din main aaram se so paaungi!'' She exclaims winking at him and frees herself and turns to pour the coffee in the cups.

Vineet was left stunned, he gazed at her with an open mouth.

''How mean, tumhe main sone nahi deta jo aise bol rahi ho.'' He says making a hurt face. 

Anamika turns to him and handed him a cup,''nahi!'' She exclaims and moves out of the kitchen with a tray to serve coffee to his parents. 

Anupam and Shakshi smile at her as she serves them with coffee and snacks. Just in a few days they are so attached to her, Shakshi always pampers her and loves her like her own daughter.

Anamika settles beside Shakshi holding her cup of coffee. At the meantime Vineet too join them and secures his seat beside Anupam. 

Anamika looks at Anupam and Shakshi,'' Mummy, Papa aaj dinner mei matar paneer aur paranthe bana doon?'' She asked. 

''Beta uski koi jarurat nahi, main bana lungi dinner. Aaj Vinu kahin jaa raha hai tum bhi ho aao uske saath.'' Shakshi says but Anamika denies.

''Nahi, nahi! Iske saath jana is risky, main ghar pe hi thik hoon Mummy!'' Anamika states as she casts a look at Vineet who glares at her making a face.

''How mean yaar, dekha maa tumhari bahu jhoote ilzaam lagati hai mujh pe.'' He complains to which Anupam and Shakshi laugh. 

''Aab jaisi jiski harkat hogi waise toh log bolenge hi.'' Anupam teases his son who growls in anger and runs to his room glaring at them while the other three laugh at his act. 

Shakshi turns yo Anamika,''jaa dekh le usse, nahi toh ghar sar pe utha lega fir ki koi manane bhi nahi aaya mujhe.'' She says, Anamika nodded and moved to their room. Her husband is no less than a notorious kid who is always upto some mischief, turns romantic anytime and gets angry over small things. 

Anamika enters her room, but Vineet wasn't in the room. He must be in the washroom, as she hears the sound of water. She sits on the bed and waits for him. 

Around 20 minutes later he stepped in the room wrapping a towel around his waist. His body was wet and water was dripping down his hairs, it seems he had taken a bath. 

Anamika whistle, ''kya baat hai, inna gussa ho ki nahana pada sar thanda karne ko.'' She teases him. He glares at her but says nothing and moves towards the closet. 

He takes out a pair of blue jeans and black shirt. Anamika moved towards him and hugged him from behind, placing her head on his back.

''Itna gussa sehat ke liye aacha nahi hota meri jaan!'' She exclaims placing a kiss on his back but he removes her hand and moves to the bed. 

He kept his jeans on the bed and wore his shirt. Anamika holds it as he starts to button up.

''Come, i'll help you!'' She tries to hook it up but Vineet jerks her hand.

''Mujhe tumhari help nahi chahiye.'' He shouted glaring at her.

Anamika gaze at him,''bhadak kyun rahe ho, help hi toh kar rahi hoon.'' Anamika snaps.

''Lekin mujhe nahi chahiye, door raho mujh se!'' He retorts. 

Anamika rolls her eyes,''ok fine, chalo tumhe toh baat karni nahi na hi help chahiye toh main maa ke ghar hi chali jaati hoon kuch din ke liye. Waise bhi wo bula hi rahi thi, khamakha tumhare liye plan cancel kar rahi thi main. Huhh, aacha hi hai, wahin chali jaati hoon.'' She says purposely and turns to go when Vineet holds her hand and pulls her such that she dashed to his bare chest. 

He grips her waist and holds her hair, Anamika gets alert. He doesn't like her words and so will take revenge for saying wrong things.

Anamika placed her hand on his chest to stop him,''Vineet don't!! Main majak kar rahi thi jaann...'' She tries to convince him but he moves his face closer to her. 

''Vineet, please!! Mujhe niche jana hai abhi..'' She struggled but it was of no use, her husband's mood was really bad. 

Vineet places his lips on her holding her firmly so that she doesn't escape. He was soft at first but then he held her lips in between his teeth and squeezed them harshly, she flinched and held on to his shirt. 

Satisfying his anger, he pulls back and looks at her. She had her eyes closed and her lips were swollen, he trailed his finger on her face to which she opened her eyes. 

''Tum bure ho!!'' She makes a face as he trail his finger on her now swollen lips.

''Tune majboor kiya ye karne pe!'' He exclaims, she pushes him away.

''Huhh, bola tha majak hai.'' She snaps to which he throws his shirt on her as because of her tight hold it gets wrinkles. 

''Aise majak bhadi hi padte hai!'' He exclaims and moves to the dressing room to get ready while Anamika just stares at him.
