Nitya and Manvi were inside the bedroom, Nitya was sitting down leaning against the back of the bed while Manvi had kept her head on her lap. It was a comfort zone for her, she looked at Nitya and said "Di.. I missed you!"

Nitya caressed her head lightly "maine toh tujhe bahut miss kiya"

"Jhooth mat bolo.. Jiju se shaadi ke baad ek baar bhi aapko meri yaad nahi aayi" she complained, making a face.

"Acha.. paise toh mera bhoot bhejta tha na tujhe" Nitya reminded her.

Manvi got up straight and smiled "nahi aap bhejte they.. Agar aap meri madad nahi karte toh pata nahi main kya karti"

Nitya cupped her face and spoke with affection "behen hun teri! Mera farz tha.."

"Ache ek baat puchun?" Manvi asked.

Nitya nodded in yes.

"Aunty aapko pasand nahi karti?" Manvi questioned.

Nitya was left unspoken. Manvi looked at her seriously and asked "batao di? Jiju aapse kitna pyaar karte hai and wo sarphera jaisa bhi hai par aapko bhabhi maa kehta hai! Aap usse choti ho phir bhi aapko itni respect deta hai.. Lekin aunty??"

Nitya avoided her questions "chod na mannu.. Maaji aise hi hai"

Manvi crossed her arms across her chest, she eyed her and clearly sensed she was trying to hide the truth from her. "Di.. main stupid lagti hun par hun nahi! Sab samajh aata hai mujhe.. Itne saal ho gaye hai aapke aur jiju ki shaadi ko aur main abtak maasi nahi bani hui! Yahi wajah hai na auntyji aapse aise behave karti hai?" she confronted her.

Nitya was stunned hearing her words, she was thinking how did this girl find out about this when she never mentioned this to her.

"Tujhe.. Ye kisne bataya?" Nitya asked her surprisingly.

Manvi gave her a look and said "Aapke chahre pe sab nazar aa raha hai mujhe! Aur jis tarah se aunty ne mujhe sunaya main samajh gayi wo kis zamane mein jee rahi hai aur kya sochti hai"

Nitya grabbed her hand and said "bahut badi ho gayi hai meri mannu aur samajhdar bhi.."

"Wo toh main ho gayi hun par aapne mujhse itni badi baat share nahi ki! Paraya hi kar diya aapne mujhe toh" she said, getting upset with Nitya.

"Mannu kya batati tujhe? Shaadi ke 2-3 saal tak toh maine aur Aniket ne socha hi tha hum abhi bacha nahi karenge.. Phir main pregnancy bhi hui par uss accident ne.." she remembered the miscarriage she suffered.

"Bahut koshish ki par main uske baad maa ban hi nahi paayi.. Aur aaj 7 saal ho gaye hai iss baat ko" Nitya shared, getting emotional with her eyes filling up with tears.

Manvi wiped her tears and said "Di.. miracles hote hai bhagwaan pe bharosa rakho! Mera dil kehta hai aap maa zaroor banogi"

Nitya smiled hearing her words and just hoped her words would come true. Nitya cleared her eyes and said "ye sab chod.. Tu mujhe bata tu abtak single kyun hai??"

"Di.. I am just 30! Abhi toh bahut kuch karna hai life mein aur phir shaadi karne ke liye ache ladke milne chahiye na? Jo acha ladka tha use toh aapne pata liya.. Main bechari kya hi kar sakti hun?" she spoke in a dramatic way.

Nitya laughed hearing her words, in a minute she became childish Manvi from being matured. She acts according to the situation and Nitya loves this behavior of hers. Manvi slept hugging her tightly with tears in her eyes. She was emotional knowing what Nitya is suffering. Nitya cleaned her eyes and kissed her forehead.

The next morning, the alarm buzzed and Nitya turned it off immediately so that it did not disturb Manvi's sleep. She freshened up, took a shower, and went downstairs.

She moved to the kitchen and made preparations for lunch. She looked at the clock and it showed exactly 7am, Kaushalya must be at the temple. She turned off the stove and headed towards the temple.

Kaushalya was chanting some mantras, Aniket came and stood beside Nitya. She eyed him and smiled "Aaj time pe aaye hai aap"

Aniket whispered back "time pe soya bhi toh tha..." Nitya glared at him and he passed an innocent smile.

Nitya inhaled deeply and closed her eyes, Kaushalya did the Aarti today and gave prasad to both of them.

She kept back the Aarti plate back to the temple and went towards the dining table. Nitya looked at Aniket and said "Aap jaake Aaru aur mannu ko utha dijiye.. Main tabtak nashta table pe lagati hun"

Kaushalya had heard her words and reacted immediately "Nitya.. Tumhari behen hai na toh jaake khud uthao"

Aniket gave her a reply "toh main nashta laga dun maa?"

Kaushalya denied it, Nitya smiled and went to the kitchen while Aniket moved to wake up Aarav.

He entered his room and it was a complete mess. His files were scattered, clothes were placed on the chair. "Jab shaadi nahi hoti hai na insaan aise hi rehta hai!" He smiled at himself as before the marriage he was also in the same state.

Aniket walked towards Aarav and said "Aaru.. uth office nahi jaana hai kya?"

Aarav slightly opened his eyes, he asked in a sleepy tone "time kya hua hai?"

"7.30.." Aniket replied.

Aarav woke up with a jerk hearing the time, he spoke a loud "kya?? 7.30 ho gaye.. God 9 baje important meeting hai meri bhai aap pehle nahi utha sakte they kya?? Subah ki Aarti bhi miss karadi aapne.. Bhabhi maa ko sunna padega aapki wajah se! Bhai aap mujhe time pe utha bhi nahi sakte ho"

Aniket glared at him "bada bhai hun tera.. Aise baat mat kar mujhse! Khud toh time pe utha jaata nahi hai aur jab main uthane aau toh mujhe suna deta hai!" He finished his sentence and passed him a big brother look.

Aarav got down from bed and said "bade bhai ho toh.. Aise behave bhi karo na.. Chote bhai ko subah subah daante hue sharam nahi aati aapko? Bhabhi maa se abhi complaint karta hun aapki"

He moved to the bathroom taking his towel while Aniket was left speechless. "Bhabhi maa ka chamcha.." he murmured.

"I heard that bhai!!" Aarav shouted from the bathroom.

"Aaru.. ye room saaf ho jana chahiye tumhara jaane se pehle" Aniket instructed him.

Aarav opened the bathroom light and passed an innocent smile "please aap saaf kardo.." he said in the softest tone of his.

"Tumhara room hai tum saaf karoge.. Aur ye zyada innocent chehra mere saamne toh banao hi mat tum" Aniket was not going to melt with his trick of his.

Aarav asked again "pakka aap nahi karoge?"

"Nahi" Aniket said adamantly.

Aarav passed him a mischievous smile which Aniket hated the most. It always indicates that he is going to get confronted by Nitya.

"Bhabhi maa..." Aarav screamed loudly.

Nitya served breakfast to Kaushalya, she heard Aarav's voice from the room. Kaushalya looked at her and said "jaake dekho kya hua hai! Maa ki toh zaroorat hi nahi hai kisiko iss ghar mein"

Nitya rushed towards Aarav's room, he asked "kya hua??"

Aarav beeped out from the bathroom and started complaining "Dekho na bhabhi maa.. Meri important meeting hai 9 baje.. Maine bhai se kaha please aap mera room arrange kardo kehne lage main ye sab office jaane se pehle karke jau.. Aur pata hai mujhe daant bhi lagayi"

Nitya eyed Aniket and hit his arm lightly "Aniket aapko ek kaam diya tha wo bhi nahi hua aapse! Chote bhai ka room set kar denge toh kya bigad jayega aapka?" she confronted him.

"Nitu.. main toh bas isko sudharne ki koshish kar raha tha" Aniket said.

"Ye waqt hai sudharne ka?" Nitya glared at him. Aniket shook his head in no..

"Aap jab single they toh aap aise nahi they?? Maa aapka room saaf nahi karti thi?? Haan? Pata hai na maaji ka gussa phir bhi mujhe pareshan karna hai aapko!" Nitya commented and walked out of the room.

Aarav glared at Aniket with a victory look. Aniket turned towards Aarav, he said "bhai.. Agar meri baat maan lete toh bhabhi maa aapki class nahi leti subah subah! Chalo ab kaam pe lag jao"

Aarav shut the door of the bathroom while Aniket was left totally dumbstruck. He inhaled deeply and arranged Aarav's stuff properly. Aarav came out of the bathroom about 10 minutes later and stood in front of the mirror. He whistled and combed his hair, he glanced at Aniket through the mirror and smiled "haaye... aisa bhai ho toh zindagi bahut haseen ho jaati hai"

Aniket moved towards him and grabbed his neck from behind "Aaru.. zyada fayda nahi utha rahe ho tum apne chote hone ka??" he gazed at him.

"It's my birthright aur she is my bhabhi maa.. Toh aapko daant padwane mein aur maza aata hai mujhe" Aarav said, he freed himself from his grip and ran out of the room. Aniket sighed deeply at his antics.
