Ruhana gets shocked to hear what Anamika has to say. 

"What is this, Ana? You're not supposed to talk like that." she scolds her. 

"What I am saying is right, Di. Mumma always looks for etiquette. Can't I have my food in a way I want. She never says anything to Raj bhaiya." Anamika complains. 

But at the same moment, she realises what she said. 

"Sorry. She never says anything to Bhaiya." Anamika pouts. 

Ruhana taps her cheek. 

"She loves you. That's why she does that." she tries to convince her sister. 

"No. She always has to talk about etiquette. I cannot have food when I come back. I have to freshen up and change into a proper dress. Then only, Mrs Sangeeta Mehra will let me eat something." Anamika shouts at her sister. 

"Don't know what she will get by doing this. I'm telling you, I'm not tolerating this anymore. I'll meet you in the office from tomorrow. " Anamika says looking at Ruhana. 

Ruhana sighs. Anamika does not want to understand. Even ruhana is known to Sangeeta's behavior. She doesn't like it, but she cannot say anything. Ruhana doesn't want Anamika to ignore her mother. But she understands her frustration. 

"She never allows me to hangout with friends. Neither she likes anyone of my friends staying throughout the day. I think she can't see me happy." Anamika complains. 

She's right. Sangeeta wants everything on time. She doesn't like any clutter around and she wants Anamika to be ready every time. She doesn't like Rajveer much, since he is her husband's first born, and sangeeta never liked him. Rajveer was always searching for a mother in her, but never got the desired love. Ruhana knew it and this was the reason why Rajveer was so close to Ruhana. He loved Anamika more than he cared for himself. Overall, the three siblings were happy together. 

"Ab aap bhi nahi sun rahi ho meri baat." Anamika says slapping on Ruhana’s arm. 

Ruhana holds her hands and pressed them lightly. She pokes her nose with her finger. 

"relax! Anger sits on your nose. It won't  do any good. You need to be happy. I'll get something for you to eat. Come on. " Ruhana says. 

"Okay. I'm waiting here. Bring it on." Anamika says. 

Ruhana sighs. 

"We'll eat together. Come on! Don't be an angry woman. " she chides her little sister. 

"She is an angry young woman." A deep, masculine voice reaches their ears. 

They turn to find Rajveer standing near the swing. Anamika turns to him and slaps  Rajveer on his arm. 

"That's because, you are angry young man. And I'm your little sister. So, it's alright for me." anamika teases her elder brother. 

"oh yeah. You get me and Di in trouble as well." he continued to play along. 

"you cause trouble to Di,not me. You escape silently and Di gets worried about you. And then she scolds me too. Only because of you, bhai." Anamika says making a face. 

Rajveer smiles. Well, Anamika spoke the truth. Sincehe didn't got mother's love from Sangeeta, he feels sad and leaves the house. Ruhana, with whom he grew attached after his mother's death, gets worried about her brother. After all, she wants him to be happy and in front of her eyes. In her words, Rajveer is not only her brother, but her friend too. There are times, when he acts elder to Ruhana and she adores it when he explains her like an older brother. 

A touch broke his trance. Rajveer smiled at Ruhana and then looks at Anamika. 

"that's good,Ana. Afterall, Di scolds you, even if it's because of me. I love it when she scolds you." rajveer replies teasingly clicking his tongue at her. 

Anamika looks at Rajveer with a shocking glance. Rajveer started giggling. 

"That's so good when she scolds you. You never listen to me. So that's your punishment." he winks at her. 

Anamika begins to hit his arm and they broke into a chase. Rajveer hid behind Ruhana. 

"Di, save me." he says. 

"She won't. You'll face my wrath, Mister Rajveer." Anamika glares at him. 

Rajveer breaks into a run with Anamika behind him. Ruhana was watching this cute banter between her younger siblings. As they came around her, she caught their hands. 

"stop running. You two are not kids." she says. 

"I am. But not bhaiya."Anamika replies. 

Ruhana laughs. 

" okay, let's go in. I'm hungry. " she says. 

" You're feeding me with your hands tonight. " Anamika says wrapping her arms around Ruhana. 

" I'm in the line too. " rajveer grins making his elder sister smile. 

As the three siblings enter in, Ruhana hears a call from her father, and she hears something that leaves her shocked.
