Next morning 

Naina was in the kitchen preparing breakfast, Rajveer was in the dining area as usual busy in his boring newspaper.. And Anamika, well she haven't came out of her room yet.. Rajveer has sent a servant few minutes ago to wake her who return getting her scolds.. Naina was in tension, as Anamika haven't spoken a word after the revelation.. She knows, there must be many questions jumping in her head but she was quite because she is angry or may be embarrassed?? 

Naina Sighed, she took hold on the tray and move out of the kitchen.. To her surprise, Anamika was also present there and was busy in her phone.. Probably texting to Vineet.. 

Naina marched towards them, she kept the coffee mug before Rajveer and Banana Shake before Anamika.. Anamika holds the glass and gulped it down, usually she use to do dramas but today she was silent and this was bugging Naina, she wanted her to speak, shout over them if she's angry, She just wants to hear her, doesn't matter what it would be.. 

Naina gaze at Raj and indicates him to ask her about Naveen call, Rajveer narrowed his eyes pretending he didn't understand what she said.. Naina glare him, he down his gaze and look at Anamika who's still busy in her phone.. Not even bothering to look up at them.. 

"baby" Rajveer call her softly

"hmm" Anamika replied, eyes still on phone.. 

Rajveer glance at Naina, then turn to Anamika.. 

"tumse puchna tha kuch" he exclaims, Naina gave him a look.. 

Anamika didn't show any interest "hmm, say!" she replied.. Moving her fingers on the phone screen.. 

"will you look up, ya ghus jaogi phone mei aab" Naina said a bit angrily.. Rajveer roll his eyes

Anamika look up, she shot a glare at them but off her cell and look straight at Rajveer.. 

"puchiye, kya puchna hai, I have to go.." she declare 

Rajveer stare at her for some good seconds and asked "wo tumhare mamu ka call aaya tha.. Shanti bua ke bete ki shadi hai.. Wo chahti hai hum aaye.. Toh.. He glances at her.. Toh kya hum chale" he asked hesitantly.. 

Anamika let out a sarcastic sigh "I'm not interested!" she declared

"okay.. Nahi jayenge fir.. Main mana kar deta hoon abhi hi" Rajveer exclaims, he took out his cell from his pocket and on it.. Naina snatched the phone from his hand.. 

"hum jayenge" she declare, glaring at both father and daughter.. 

Anamika turn her head towards her "aapko jana hai toh jao, main nahi jaane wali.. That's final and you can't force me" Anamika exclaims and took hold on her cell phone and bag.. She left the house not looking back at them.. 

Naina shouted for her but she totally ignores her.. Naina turn to Rajveer who's looking at her with puppy eyes as if saying that's it's not his fault that she denied going and he shouldn't get punishment for this… 

Naina throw the newspaper on his face and marched towards her room.. She call Naveen and informed him that they will not be coming.. 

....

After that day, Anamika hardly sit with them not even for dinner.. She would leave the house in a rush and would return late in the night.. One whole month pass like this.. Rajveer and Naina tried to talk to her many times, but she didn't give them a chance.. They were upset and disappointed that they were not being able to make her understand the situation.. By now, Rajveer has also realised that the circumstances are not that ease as he was thinking.. It's really very tough.. But the least they can do is to try to solve the problem.. 

… 

One fine night after a month.. 

Raina were in their room.. Naina was applying some cream on her arms and Rajveer was checking some mails on his laptop, when his cell rings.. Rajveer shift his gaze to his phone.. Mr. Bakshi (Anamika's Principal) name was flashing on the screen.. He was surprised, Mr. Bakshi never call him at this hour.. He took his phone and slide the green icon.. He attached the cell to his ear.. 

"hello" he spoke.. 

.

"yea! What's the matter? He asked.. 

. 

" hein.. But wo roz college jaa rahi hai "he exclaims, tension lines form on his forehead

. 

" what? Are you sure Mr. Bakshi "he asked shocked.. 

. 

" Okay.. I'll talk to her "Rajveer said and disconnected the call.. 

…. 

" kya hua?? Kya bole Mr. Bakshi "Naina asked moving towards him.. 

Rajveer look at her" Anu, piche ek month se college nahi gayi hai.. Aur.. Aur last week ka test bhi appear nahi kiya usne "Rajveer informed her, still in shock tried to digest the fact.. 

" what "Naina exclaim in shock.. 

" wo roz toh nikalti hai ghar se.. She spoke.. Ek kaam karo, Vineet ko call karo aur pucho uss se dono kar kya rahe hai "She exclaims, fuming in anger.. Rajveer nodded and dial Vineet number, he picked the call in 3rd ring.. 

" hello Vineet! Kahan ho tum dono abhi "Rajveer asked, as Anamika haven't returned home yet.. 

" main ghar pe hoon apne!! Anamika kahan hai mujhe pata nahi.. Ek mahine ho gaye wo milli nahi mujh se! Meine call kiya tha lekin usne receive nahi kiya.. Mujhe laga maa (Naina) ki tabiyat jyada kharab hai issliye nahi aa rahi hai" he clarifies.. 

This revelation shocked them more.. Rajveer cut the call and moved out of the room followed by Naina, they saw Anamika entering in the house.. 

"kahan thi tum aab tak" Rajveer asked calmly.. 

Anamika didn't respond, she moved towards her room.. 

"Main kuch puch raha hoon tumse.. Kahan thi tum" he asked again and Anamika refuse to speak again!! 

This angered Rajveer, he marched towards her and turned her towards himself by holding onto her arm "I'm talking to you Anu" he glared at her.. Anamika jerk his hand.. 

"I'm not interested in talking with you, can't you get that… Please, stay away from me" Anamika shouted.. 

Rajveer glare at her, he looks so angry at her, for the first time.. Naina was surprised.. "I need to know! Tum ek mahine se college kyun nahi gayi.. Tum Vineet ke saath bhi nahi jaati ho.. You even missed your test.. Chal kya raha hai tumhare deemag mei" he asked, in a loud tone.. anger was clearly audible in his voice.. 

Naina tried to calm him "Raj, hum aaram se baat karte hai.. Relax" she spoke, clutching onto his arm.. Rajveer pull away his hand.. 

"Anu tell me.. Kahan jaa rahi ho tum haan? He asked rolling his eyes.. 

Anamika raged, she shouted over him.. Rajveer and Naina were left shocked to what Anamika said to them….
