She glared at him fiercely while he gave her a look.

''What?? Tabse ghoor kyun rahi ho mujhe??'' He questions rolling his eyes.

''Sukra karo bas ghoor rahi hoon, mera bas chale toh chatt se dhakka de dun aab tumhe main!'' She exclaims.

''Arey arey arey!! Tumhe sharam nahi aati aisa kehte hue?? Abhi mujhe kuch ho gaya toh tum hi widow banke ghoomti phirogi, koi bhaw tak na dega tumhe tumhaari harkaton ko dekh ke, huhh!!'' He taunts her, making her more angry.

''Tumse toh aachi hi harkat hai meri. Main tumhari tarah logon ki chijein bina puche nahi use karti.'' She snaps.

''Arey jao, ek soap kya laga liya tumhara tum toh chadhe hi jaa rahi ho mujh pe. Soap na hua jaane kya ho gaya.'' He scoffs.

''Ek baar!??? Har baar ka yahi hai tumhara, khud toh kuch ka dhyan rehta nahi aur fir meri chijein use karte firte ho. Meine kitni baar kaha hai tumse, meri skin sensitive hai koi mera soap ya kuch use kar leta hai toh mujhe problem ho jaati hai par tum samjho tab na. Deemag mei kachra bhar rakha hai tumne.'' She yells.

''Haan, mere deemag mei kam se kam wo toh hai par tumhara deemag toh puri tarah khali hai, lul hai lul!! Huhh, itni badi lawyer ho, itna paisa anthti ho logon se phir bhi ghar mei ek sabun ke liye karti ho, sharm tak nahi hai!" He taunted her, she hit him.with a pillow directly on face.

''Tum kaunsa road pe baithe bheekh mang rahe ho, khud bhi itna kamate ho na business mei fir ek sabun nahi kharid sakte jo dusron ke use karte firte ho, haan?? Itni bhi capabilities nahi ki sabun kharid pao toh mujhe hi keh dete main hi laa deti par nahi tumhe toh jaan bujh ke mera hi use karna hai na, itne shauk hai aurat banne ka toh sirf soap hi kyun ladies perfume bhi laga ho aur saree pehen ke ghumo.'' She teases him.

Her husband, Vineet Mittal, an ace businessman. He's in his early fifties running a business ampire while the ladd, i,e. Anamika is a high court reputed advocate. She's in her late forties.
They are married for 25 years and are blessed with a son and a daughter.

Vineet enraged with her taunt, he stood before her in an instant but before he could say anything their son, Ansh, walked in.

''Arey!! Aap dono abhi tak ready nahi hue? Humein late ho jayega na!" Ansh told them.

''Tumhari maa chen se mujhe kuch karne de tab na, jabse washroom se nikla hoon ladd hi rahi hai ye aise mei koi taiyaar kaise ho!!" Vineet says glaring at Anamika.

Ansh looks at his mother who seems to be angry.

''Par hua kya? Kyun ladd rahe ho aap dono?" Ansh enquired.

''Hoga kya!! Aab ye banda khudka soap na kharid sakta isko mera soap hi use karna hai, uske liye bol doh toh tabse chilla raha hai aab ismei main kya karun!" Anamika scoffs while crossing her arms around her chest.

Ansh sighs deeply, why did his parents act like that? Before leaving for any occasion they had to fight. Not just that,even if they are together for an hour then they are bound to argue over one or the other matter.

Ansh makes a puppy face. It's when his sister Anya, walked in the room getting ready but her face fell to see her parents.

''Aap dono fir ladne baith gaye kya!!! Dad, aise kaun karta hai??" Anya makes a sour face.

''Meine kya kiya hai, jo kiya tumhari maa ne kiya!! Ussi ki wajah se har baar late hote hai aur aaj bhi ho jaayenge fir ye aake mujh se hi ladegi ki meri wajah se late hua. I tell you guys, ye kabhi apni galti manti hi nahi, sab kuch ka ilzaam mujh pe hi lagana hai isse jaise khud kitni satti savitri ho. Court mei toh jhooth bolti hi hai aur ghar ko bhi na chodti.'' Vineet says while rolling his eyes over Anamika who shot him glares.

''Tum toh jaise kitna sach bolte ho nahi!!! Deals paane ke liye jaane kitne hi jhooth bolte hoge par yahan sareef banne chale ho, waah!! Aur jab meri galti hoti nahi toh main maanu kyun?? Galti hamesha tumhari hi hoti hai par tum uss time mante nahi bas bak bak karte rehte ho, badh mei jab realise hota hai tab sorry bolte firte ho. Still,tumhe akal nahi aati!!! Dubara tum wahi galti karte ho aur ladte ho, mujhe samajh nahi aata koi itna bewakoof kaise ho sakta hai!!!" Anamika snaps at him.

Ansh and Anya exchange glances, they are not going to end their argument that easily. They need to do something.

Vineet steps towards Anamika to give her a befitting reply but Anya holds his hands.

''Dad, aap chalo mere room mei ready ho jao tab tak mumma yahan ready ho jaayengi. Dekho na kitna late ho gaya hai, chalo na please!!" Anya pulls him out of the room while taking his clothes.

Anamika let out a growl, Ansh handed over her dress to her.

''Aap bhi ready ho jao Mumma, humei jana bhi hai. Hum already late ho chuke hai!" He told her.

''Haan, toh kya meri wajah se late hue hai.'' She glares at the boy.

''Meine kab kaha aisa, main toh bas ready ho jaane ko keh raha hoon!" Andh clarifies as he doesn't want to fall in trouble.

''Haan haan, thik hai order na de!! Chal jaa, main aati hoon kuch der mei.'' Anamika assures him, Ansh nodded and left the room.

...

Around 30 minutes later, they gathered in the hall getting ready. Anya has held Vineet by his arm so that she could stop him if an argument broke out while Ansh was buttering Anamika, complementing her to keep her mood good.

Anamika gazes at Vineet and her mood gets off automatically. He though had got ready but looked messy, his shirt was untucked, his tie was loose and his hair didn't look combed.

She glances at Anya who seems a little upset with her father dressing but what can she do when her father is stubborn.

Anamika wanted to point it out but let it go, she doesn't want to upset her kids. They were too excited for the party, so she let it go with a deep sigh.

Soon, they leave the house. Ansh takes the charge to drive, Vineet wasn't pleased as he wanted to drive but on Ansh's insistence he let him do it. Anya settled on the passenger seat beside Ansh and Vineet and Anamika had to sit on the back seat, together. Though they got to their places without any objection but refused to look at each other, instead they were busy staring at the empty roads and tall trees passing by them.

Anya put on the music to warm.up their serious environment.

Hum tere bin aab reh nahi sakte,
Tere bina kya vajood mera

Arijit Singh's melodious voice echoes around.

Hum tere bin aab reh nahi sakte
Tere bina kya vajood mera

Anya gazes at her parents who don't seem interested at all.

Tujh se juda gar ho jaayenge
To khud se hi ho jaayenge juda
Kyun ki Tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Ki zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho!!!

Disappointed Anya crosses her arms around her chest and looks outside the window while Ansh was smiling all the while as with the lyrics of the song, someone's special memory flashes before his eyes.

Tera mera rishta hai kaisa
Ek pal door gawara nahi
Tere liye har roz hain jeete
Tujhko diya mera waqt sabhi

Vineet took a glance at Anamika who was busy looking outside. Her purse and phone were lying on the seat between them. A message peeps up on her phone causing it to light up and he smiles widely to find his picture as her lock screen wallpaper. It makes him happy every time.

Koi lamha mera na ho tere bina
Har saans pe naam tera
Kyun ki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

Vineet moves a little towards her, in the process his hand hits her hand, she turns instantly and makes a sour face at him then turns away.

Tere liye hi jiyaa main
Khud ko jo yoon de diya hai
Teri wafaa ne mujhko sambhala
Saare gamon ko dil se nikaala
Tere sath mera hai naseeb judaa
Tujhe paa ke adhoora na raha
Kyun ki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho
Kyun ki tum hi ho, ab tum hi ho
Zindagi ab tum hi ho
Chain bhi, mera dard bhi
Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho

Ansh glances at them through the mirror. He finds his father struggling to start a conversation but Anamika wasn't ready to even look at him while Vineet was trying to hold her hand which failed in every attempt.

Ansh signals Anya who giggles at her father's attempt.

Amidst all this, they reach their destination. Ansh parks their car in a parking lot, it's when Anamika asks them to go and she'll join them later. Ansh and Anya exchange glances as Anamika asks Vineet to stay with her.

Without any questions the bro - sis take their leave while giggling.

''Lagta hai Dad ko inaam milne wala hai apne hardwork ka!" Anya giggles.

Ansh smack her head,''shut up! Dad ne jyada seriously le liya teri baaton ko toh room share karna pad jaayega tujhe!" Ansh exclaims meaningfully and they laugh out loud.

Meanwhile Ansh's eyes fell on a person,who's a pretty lady and he couldn't stop to meet her.

''Waise toh filhal lagta hai aap apna room share karne ke mood mei ho bhai.'' Anya teases him while gazing at the lady his brother is staring at.

''Aisa kuch nahi hai, wo bas dost hai meri.'' Ansh clarifies, smiling nervously.

Anya makes an Oh face,''aisa hai kya? Main toh soch rahi thi inke liye Mumma se baat karu par aab wo aapki dost hai toh thik hai. Aab toh aapko Dad ki pasand ki hui ladki se hi shadi karni padegi!" She states making a serious face while looking at Ansh who's facial expression changes.

Ansh tries to ask her about her statement but she leaves from there leaving him growling.

On the other side, Vineet was staring at Anamika who swiftly pulled him closer while holding his hand. A sudden excitement ran over his body when she held his shirt and lifted it, in no time her hand was under his pants. Vineet was more than shocked with her sudden mood swing but placed his hand on her waist. Anamika shot him a deadly glare when he made a design on her waist and made himself comfortable on the seat.

He smiles sweetly when she looks at him, he doesn't find her in a good mood but her action says something else. She removes his hand from her waist while her hand moves in and out several times in his pants, lastly he realized she was tugging his shirt inside and not trying to romance him.

Once done with her task, she pulls him up and makes his tie, also sets his hair and makes him wear a watch.

''Kahin bahar jaane se pehle atleast dhang se ready hi ho jaya karo. Simplicity aachi baat hai par logon ko itna toh lagna chahiye ki you're someone to notice, jaise taise nikalne ki koi jarurat bhi nahi hai.'' She told him in a straight tone.

Vineet just stares at her with a grumpy face.

''Aab chale? Ya yahi baithe khayali pulao pakana hai tumhe? Waise bhi aadha toh tum paka hi chuke the, aab baki ka bhi pakana hai ya andar chaloge?" She questions sarcastically.

''Chalo yaar, itna bolne ki koi jarurat nahi.'' He scoffs and hops out of the car.

Together they walk in only to find Ansh drooling over a girl and blushing while talking to her while Anya was busy with a friend.

''Ye Ansh wahan kya kar raha hai?" Vineet questions to himself furrowing his brows.

''Wahi jo usse iss umra mei karna chahiye!" Anamika exclaims.

Vineet turns his head to look at her, it's when Anya stood before them accompanied by a friend.

''Dad!! Meine aapko bataya tha na suhani, meri project mate!? Here, She's Suhani!" Anya told him as Vineet wanted to meet the girl and congratulate her about the success of their project.

Vineet smiled at the girl sweetly and congratulated her.

''Thank you Uncle!" The girl replies warmly.

Later, they get busy chatting and discussing. Anya told him about her other project which she and Suhani had been assigned together. Vineet appreciated their team work and dedication. Whilst all this they heard an announcement that the newly wedded couple will perform a dance for the guest. And 'it's when Vineet realises that they are here to attend the reception party of a relative and he had forgotten the gift at home.

He immediately excuses himself and searches for Anamika. He finds her at a distance talking to a girl, she's the same girl Ansh was drooling over.

''Ye dono maa - beta kiske piche pade hue hai?" He thought while moving towards them.

As he approaches them, Anamika pulls him by hand and introduces him to the girl. The girl's name was Hrishika and she's pretty for sure.

But Vineet's concern for now, was the gift that he forgot to bring.

''Ana, mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai, it's urgent!" He told her seriously.

Anamika gets alerted with the seriousness in his voice, even Ansh was startled.

Anamika asked about the matter but Vineet wanted to have a talk with her privately so they headed out of the party.

''Kya hua? Itne tension mei kyun ho tum?" Anamika questioned, she already had created so many negative things finding him worried.

''Tension lene wali koi baat nahi hai par bas ek choti si galti ho gayi humse.'' He states, making her confused.

''Vineet baat kya hai?'' Anamika asks, straightforward.

''Wo main...gift ghar pe hi bhool aaya shayad!" He told her, Anamika let out a deep breath.

''Ek gift ke liye tum mujhe party se aise leke aaye, seriously!? Tumhe pata bhi hai main kitni tension mei aa gayi thi, hadh hai tumhara!" She scoffs.

''Arey par aab denge kya unko? Bina bataye party se gayab bhi nahi ho sakte?" Vineet pointed.

''Jaane ki jarurat hi nahi hai kyunki main gift leke aai hoon! Mujhe pehle hi pata tha tumse ladne ke siwa duja koi kaam na hoga toh meine rakh liya tha!" She claims.

Vineet sighs in relief,''aacha thik hai sorry, agli baar se na use karunga tumhari chijein. Aaj toh meine jaldi jaldi mei dhyan na diya lekin aage se dhyan rakhungaa.'' He assures her but she knows she can't trust him but nodded and rejoined the party.

By now, the dance was already over and guests were presenting gifts to the couple. Anamika and Vineet too offered their gift with a smiling face but Anya had already noticed something and was worried. She signal to Ansh, who was unable to get the clue.

''Bhai, kitne buddhu ho aap!! Wo gift dekho jara, Dad galat gift utha laaye hai. Ye gift wo Nani ke liye laaye the lekin galti se yahan le aaye, inka gift ghar pe hi reh gaya lagta hai.'' Anya told him while biting her nails in nervousness.

''Yaar!!! Aaj raat toh kalesh pakka hai, sone na denge saari raat ye dono!" Ansh let out a deep sigh in disappointment.

Afterwards they settled for dinner where Anamika was busy talking with Hrishika while Vineet finds it weird to ask so many questions to a friend for no reason.

''Tumhari maa, iski kundali nikalne ki piche kyun padi hai?" He enquires to Anya who shrugged her shoulders.

Vineet wanted to ask the same to either Anamika or Ansh but the mother son was too busy with the girl.

When after some time Hrishika took her leave, Vineet got the chance.

''Tum dono maa - bete uss ladki ka biodata kyun mangne baith gaye? Bewajah tabse sawal pe sawal kar rahe ho uss se.'' He says while filling his mouth with dahi vada.

''Dekho, tumhe kuch sochne ki koi jarurat nai, tum bas iss dahi vade pe dhyan do par haan galti se bhi raat ko ye na kehna ye chat aur vade kha ke acidity ho gayi Kyunki khudka toh dhyan hai nahi tumhe par mere maamle mei ungli karni hai tumhe.'' Anamika snaps.

''Arey, tum khud toh jaane kya kya tabse dabaye jaa rahi ho aur ulta mujhe bol rahi ho. Chalo chalo, khudka socho, khud indigestion ho jata hai aur mujhe taunt kar rahi ho, badi aai.'' He snaps back.

''Yaar, aap dono kahin bhi kyun suru ho jaate ho? At Least bahar toh na lada karo na.'' Ansh whines.

''Haan toh ye apne maa ko samjhaao jo kuch pucho toh bhadak hi jaati hai.'' Vineet says.

''Kyun tum na samajh jo? Tumhe kuch koi na samjha sakta?" Anamika questions sarcastically.

''Mumma please, yahan nahi! Ghar jaa ke fir chahe sar phod lo par yahan nahi, dekho toh sahi kitne log hai yahan. Mujhe toh believe nahi hota aap dono ki love marriage hai, kaun maanegaa iss baat ko!" Ansh growls in anger.

''Love marriage!? Agar mujhe pata hota ye aurat badh mei jaake aisi jhagdalu ho jaayegi toh dekhta bbi nahi iski taraf, huhh!! Pehle toh itne masoom sa face leke ghoomti thi aur aab dekho, muh kholte hi karele ugalati hai.'' He taunted her.

''Waah!! Main toh aai bhi na thi, tum hi mere aage piche ghoomte firte the. Agar mujhe pata hota tum.aisa rang badal loge toh meri jis car ke samne aa aake tum natak karte the meine ussi se thok dena tha tumhe.'' She raged.

''Tha hi apne baap ke paise ka ghamand tumhe, karogi hi aisa!" He raged too.

Anamika banged her hand on the table which Ansh held instantly to stop her, he made a face, requesting her to leave the matter. Anamika let out a sigh and turned away but Vineet still had something to say.

''Iska father bhi iski tarah ghamandi, mujhe kehta tha ''meri beti naajo se pali hai, aaj tak kissi chij ki kami na ki meine. Agar meri beti ko koi takleef hui toh chodunga nai tumhe'' and blah blah!! Kehta toh aise tha jaise main isko bhukha hi rakhne wala tha, unke pass char paise jyada kya the aasman pe hi jhul raha tha, huhhh!! Baap itni badi badi baatein karta tha aur beti soap ke liye ladti hai, fir kehte hai hum high society ke status ko maintain karte hai!!!'' Vineet was speaking non stop, Anamika was losing her temper but was quiet because of Ansh.

Ansh tells Anya to stop Vineet otherwise they wouldn't be able to prevent the disaster.

''Dad, ho gaya na kitna bol rahe ho aap!! Hum kissi ki party mei aaye hai aur aap ladne baith gaye. Chalo, abhi dinner kar lete hai fir ghar bhi jana hai!" Anya told him, Vineet denied to which she rolled her eyes and threatened him that if he didn't stop then she would stop talking to him. Only after that, Vineet shut his mouth and concentrated on his food.

Soon, they leave the party as Anamika wanted to go home, though she didn't, ask the other three to join as she had already hired a cab but Ansh and Anya wanted to go too so Vineet was left with no choice.

On the return journey, Vineet takes the charge of driving Anya beside him while Ansh and Anamika settle on the back seat. All the way to home, Ansh tried to lighten up Anamika's mood who though smiles at him but he knew she's much enraged at the moment and Vineet is in great trouble.

They reach home in around 30 minutes, Anamika directly headed in the house followed by others.

''Aaj toh Dad ko koi na bacha sakta.'' Anya says.

''Haan, jo itna bola unhone uske badh toh koi bhi nahi!! Mumma bahut gusse mei hai!" Ansh told her as they entered the house and found Anamika coming from the study room while holding some papers in her hand.

Finding the papers in her hand Ansh and Anya let out a deep sigh.

''Aa gaya divorce papers!" Ansh let out a sigh.

''Jispe Dad kabhi sign na karenge!" Anya spoke.

As their parents are like that only, after every big fight the divorce papers have to come up as final conclusion but neither of them signs the paper instead fight over it, accusing each other of not letting the other to be free from the caze of relationship. No matter how much they fight but never sign the paper and after two days of maun vrat they are back to their normal.

Leaving them alone, Ansh and Anya head to their room. Well, they had witnessed the fight so many times that now they hardly care about it.

As they enter their room, they hear Anamika's roaring voice and the fight begins!

.....

The end!!
