Next morning. Sanyukta was sleeping as she kept awake till dawn when Randhir got up and his eyes fell on her. He looked at her sleepy face and grinned devilishly then took the jug from the bedside table. He came near her and emptied the whole jug on her. Sanyukta gets up with a jerk.

"What the hell is this Randhir!" She yelled at him.

"Oopsss sorry wifey, galti se pani gir gaya." He smirked at her then took his phone and went towards the couch and sat down when Sanyukta grabbed the glass of milk and threw it on his face.

"What the f***..." He screamed and got up instantly from the couch.

"Agli baar yeh doodh thanda nahi garam hoga, got it!" She said angrily. He dashed to her and grabbed a fistful of hair from her back and lifted her face up.

"I'll kill you bit***..." He gritted his teeth when she chucked the glass near his feet. He jumped a little and left her instantly.

"Have you gone mad!" He yelled at her.

"Phir kabhi aisa kuch kiya toh ye glass tumhare saad par phodungi." She glared at him back.

Sanyukta dashed to the washroom when Randhir stood there dumbstruck. He didn't expect this outburst from her. He was shocked to see her time to time reaction. Randhir's dress got wet by milk, he felt sticky with it and wanted to take a shower badly. So he knocked on the door of the washroom.

"Sanyukta open the door, I have to take a shower too." But she can't reply.

"Sanyukta?" He banged on the door but again had no reply, so he continued banging the door.

"What's wrong with you Randhir, I am bathing!" She yelled from inside.

"Come out, I have to take a shower also." He shouted.

"After me." Came her quick reply.

"Ohh just shut up and open the door now." He yelled.

"Lagta hai bahut desperate ho rahe ho andar aane ke liye!" She teased him.

"Ohh just shut up, I have zero interest to see you like that, understand! I want to take a shower, so just come out from my bathroom, now." He ordered her.

"It's now my bathroom too hubby, so let me enjoy my morning shower baby." She teased him.

"Sanyukta come out right now." He gritted his teeth.

"Wait." Came her reply.

"From the last 20 minutes you were in there, still you told me to wait!" He said in disbelief.

"Wo kya hai na hubby I take 45 minutes only to complete my bath. It's only 20 minutes now, so you have to wait for more 25 minutes only. And I know you can wait, cause you love me na baby!" She mocked him.

"Do you come out right now or not?" He asked in a stern voice.

"No." Came her quick reply when he held his anger in his fist.

"Sanyukta, you have to pay for it." He gritted his teeth. Then he remembered something and grinned devilishly.

"Now wait and watch wifey." Said that he turned off the light in the washroom.

"Randhir I'll kill you, turn on the light you moron." Sanyukta screamed from the washroom.

"What, sorry I can't hear you wifey." He played the music loudly.

"Randhir I said turn on the light." She yelled again.

"I still can't hear you wifey." He said again when enjoyed her situation. Sanyukta grabbed her bathrobe and came out quickly.

"Randhir what's all this, why did you switch off the light?" She gritted her teeth.

"Come on wifey, nahate waqt tumhe light ki kya jarurat hai! Achchha lagta hai kya apne aap ko aise mirror mein dekhna!" He winked at her.

"Ohh just shut up." She eyed him and turned on the light, but before she reenter Randhir quickly dashed inside the washroom.

"What the hell, Randhir open the door." She banged on the door.

"Aare I am bathing, love." Came his reply.

"Randhir open the door now." She banged the door continuously.

"Lagta hai bahut desperate ho rahi ho andar aane ke liye!" He copied her.

"Ohh just shut up and open the door, I am not done yet." She yelled again.

"Wait for an hour wifey." He replied.

"You are dead Shekhawat." She said and turned off the light.

"Sanyukta what the hell is this, turn on the light you idiot." He screamed.

"I can't hear anything." She replied teasingly.

"Turn on the light you fool." He yelled from inside.

"Come on hubby, nahate waqt tumhe light ki kya jarurat hai, achchha lagta hai kya apne aap ko aise mirror mein dekhna!" She copied him. Now Randhir is trapped on his own web.

"Okay I have no problem wifey, I have used this bathroom since childhood, so I know every single thing about it, so it's no use wifey." He played his card.

"Achchha abhi dikhati hu!" Said that she went to the terrace and turned off the water supply of the house.

"Aab nahau bacchu!" And she grinned devilishly.

                              ***************

(Garam garam pani se
Nahana chahiye
Gaana aaye ye na aaye
Gaana chahiye)

Sanyukta came back to the room and heard Randhir was singing.

"Garam pani kya abhi thodi der mein toh tumhe pani ka ek boond bhi naseeb nahi hoga hubby." Her lips curved into an evil grin. She pinned her saree when Anjali came there.

"Good morning Sanyukta, Randhir kaha hai?" Anjali asked, smiling at her.

"Good morning bhabhi, ji wo naha raha hai." Sanyukta replied slowly.

"Achchha niche chalo, mom bula rahi hai."

They came down and all their relatives started teasing her.

"Aaiye aaiye bhabhi, aap hi ka intezaar ho raha tha." One of the cousin brother said that.

"Aare bhabhi ye aap ki aankhen itni laal laal kyun hai, bhaiya ne puri raat sone nahi diya kya!" One of a cousin sister teased her.

"Aare chidha mat, dekh kitni sharma rahi hai, bhabhi ye aap ke gaal toh pink ho gaye hai!" Another cousin sister teased her.

"Shit, ye inn sabko ho kya gaya hai, bol toh aise rahe hai jaise kal hamara suhagraat tha! Suhagraat my foot, puri raat aisa lag raha tha jaise main phoolon ki sej par nahi katoon ki sej par leti hui hu! And they are talking about our first night!" Sanyukta was lost in her thoughts when Renuka, her mother-in-law, came there.

"Aare tum sab tang mat karo meri bahu ko." Renuka scolded them. Sanyukta bent down and touched her feet.

"Jeeti raho beta, sada suhagan raho." She blessed her.

"Beta aaj iss ghar mein tumhara pehla din hai, aur aaj tum pehli baar kitchen mein bhi jane wali ho." Renuka smiled at her.

"Ji mummy ji." Sanyukta replied slowly.

"Mom? Mom?" Randhir screamed loudly.

"Aare aab iss ladke ko kya hua!" Renuka said to herself.

"Mom ye pani kaise chala gaya?" He shouted again.

Sanyukta pressed her lips to suppress her laugh as she was waiting for it badly. Before anyone could say anything Randhir came out screaming his mom's name and stood at the stairs. He was standing there wearing only a towel and his whole body, even face was covered by foam. Seeing him like that, all his cousins started laughing, including Sanyukta, Anjali and Renuka also.

"Randhir what's this?" Anjali asked while laughing. She can't control her laugh at all, same as Sanyukta.

"Bhaiya kya aap modelling karne wale ho?"

"Kis cheez ka?"

"Aare body wash ka!"

"Nahi nahi shampoo ka!"

"Nahi shayad towel ka!"

His cousins teasing him continuously when Randhir glared at them. Rajveer just came out from his room and saw Randhir like that.

"Randhir tum aise sirf towel mein kis cheez ka protest kar rahe ho?" He asked teasingly.

"Dusro ke mamlo mein taang ladane ki khilaf!" He murmured eyed at Sanyukta. Renuka called an attendant and told him to check the water tank.

"Sanyukta zara dekhna Randhir ko kuch chahiye kya." Renuka sends Sanyukta after Randhir.

Sanyukta nodded and went to their room. She entered the room and the next moment she was pinned hard against the wall.

"What the hell Randhir, leave me." She yelled.

"Tumhi ne kiya na ye?" Randhir gritted his teeth.

"Congratulations hubby, you solved the puzzle! That means you have a brain inside your system!" She smirked at him.

"Don't play with me Sanyukta, I'll destroy you." He glared at her.

"You already destroyed my life Randhir, now I have nothing to lose." She replied coldly.

"Who said you to mess with me sweetheart, now bear the consequence." He smirked and caught her waist tightly.

"Leave me Randhir, or else..." She tried to push him.

"Or else what wifey, harassment ka case kar dogi apne pati par? By the way, yehi kaha tha na tumne uss raat!" He smirked when Sanyukta got numb remembered that night again.

"You know what Sanyukta, girls like you aren't worth me." Said this he left her and dashed to the washroom.

"Randhir you are an animal. You snatched all my happiness, now I'll assure you that you are left with nothing, not even peace." And tears made their way out of her eyes. Sanyukta's saree got wet by her tears, then she remembered something and stopped crying.

"No Sanyukta you can't be weak, you can't be broken. You have to be strong, you have to fight back." She wiped her tears and went to the kitchen.

"Aare aao beta, tumhari hi wait kar rahe thay." Renuka smiled at her.

"Aaj tumhara pehla din hai toh sabke liye kuch meetha bana do." Sanyukta nodded and started making 'chawal ka kheer'.

Randhir came down after some time and sat with his cousins. All started teasing him and he got irritated. Renuka and Anjali served them breakfast.

"Mujhe ye nahi khana." Randhir said suddenly.

"Kya hua beta?" Renuka asked him.

"Nothing." He replied.

"Toh phir kha kyun nahi rahe ho?" Anjali asked this time.

"Wo kya hai na bhabhi main aap logo ka haath ka kha kha ke bore ho gaya hu, kisi aur ka haatho ka bana hua khana chahata hu." He said and smirked at Sanyukta.

"Achchha toh ye bolo na ke tumhe Sanyukta ka haath ka bana hua khana hai!" Anjali teased him.

"Haan mujhe apne biwi ka haath ka bana hua khana khane ka mann hai." He smiled when Sanyukta rolled her eyes.

"Okay Sanyukta ab tumhare pati ka demand hai toh hum kuch nahi kar sakte!" Anjali teased Sanyukta thus she smiled and went to the kitchen.

"Mera mazak banaya tha na sabke samne tumne, ab dekho main tumhare saath kya karta hu Sanyukta!" Randhir said in mind and grinned devilishly. Sanyukta made aloo ka paratha and served it to everyone.

"What is this! Ye itna mota, jwala hua, tel tapak raha hai! Kuch banana aata bhi hai ki nahi?" Randhir scolded Sanyukta after saw the paratha.

"Aare beta kya kar rahe ho, bahu ka pehla din hai aur tum use daat rahe ho!" Renuka said surprisingly.

"Bhai ne kuch galat toh nahi bola na mom!" Said Randhir's elder sister Ragini.

"Lekin Ragini ye koi tarika nahi hai baat karne ka." Anjali said this time.

"Bhabhi sach hamesha karwa hota hai." Ragini twisted her lips.

"Randhir tum kha ke toh dekho ek baar." Anjali said thus he took a morsel and next moment he screamed.

"Kya hua?" Renuka asked worriedly.

"Aahhhh...you idiot, thik se khana bhi nahi banana aata hai tumhe, itna tikha!" He scolded her and drank some water when Sanyukta started shedding tears.

"Aare beta nahi aansuo nahi bahate, Randhir ne sayed mirchi kha liya hai." Renuka assured Sanyukta.

"Nahi mummy ji wo baat nahi hai, maine pehli baar kuch banaya hai, agar wo nahi khayenge toh phir apshagun ho jayega." Sanyukta said slowly.

"Aare apshagun toh isse khane se hoga, kyu ki yeh khate hi main mar jaunga." Randhir barked at Sanyukta, thus she shed some more tears.

"Stop it Randhir, utna bhi bura nahi bana, hum sab kha rahe hai na, chup chap kha lo." Rajveer scolded his younger brother.

"Lekin mom..." Randhir looked at Renuka helplessly.

"Bahu ne pehli baar kuch banaya hai, wo bhi tumhare kehne par, chup chap kha lo." Renuka eyed him thus Randhir glared at Sanyukta and started eating helplessly.

"Tumhe kya lagta hai Randhir tum mujhe sabak sikha rahe thay, sach toh ye hai ke main tumhe sabak sikha rahi hu." Sanyukta said in mind. She remembered how she mixed chilli powder in Randhir's paratha secretly.

"You want to teach me a lesson but you won't forget this lesson Randhir. Tum mere life barbad karne chale thay lekin tumhe nahi pata ke tumhari barbadi ka countdown toh kab se start ho chuka hai." Sanyukta smirked and wiped her tears away.
