Its four in night when all of sudden Mona hears some strange sounds.  She gets up at once. Its not like she is scared of something but those strange noises just broke her beauty sleep. First thing she does is picking up her baseball bat which uses to lie down under her bed. She silently comes out. There is a shadow standing near to window.

Must be a thief. She stealthily tip toes to that shadow and hits it with her bat.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. Toot gya hath mera..."

Hearing that voice Mona' voice gets stuck in her throat. She must visit some astrologer for all she can see her time is really going bad.

She tries to pick that beaten up person whose hand she has just broken but ends up slipping and hurts him more.

"Bilkul pagal ho kya? Dikhai nahi deta samajh aata he lekin sense bhi nahi rha kya? Man to kar rha he tumhara bhi hath tod du lekin main tumhare jaisa ghatiya nahi hu. And for god' sake hato mere hath ke upar se. Isko kitna todna he? Man nahi bhara kya?"

"Ha to kisne bola tha subah aise window ke samne khade hone ko? Main to awaz sun kar jaag gayi thi. Ab aise koi dikhega to chor hi nazar aayega. Meri kya galti?"

"Are you even listening yourself? Tumhare ghar me pichle ek week se rah rha hu. Aur tumhe pata he main tumse pahle uth ta hu subah. Iske bad bhi tumhe ye kaise laga ki main chor hu? And for your kind information I was practicing yoga. Ye mat nahi dikhai diya kya? Itna to dikh hi rha he. Itna bhi andhera nahi he."

She is quiet for first time because she is guilty this time.

"Hold on. Kahi ye tunhara revenge plan to nahi?" The moment karan utters this mona kicks him and stands up.

"Revenge lena hota to tunhara muh todhti hath nahi. Galti huyi mujhse. Muh hi todna chahiye tha. Ruko..jab hath tod hi diya he to muh bhi tod hi deti hu. Kidhar gaya mera bat?" She starts searching for her baseball bat when karan pushes her and drags her with him.

"Mera muh todne ke liye tumhe sat janam bhi kam padenge. Abhi filhal ke liye mujhe hospital lekar chalo. Call the fucking ambulance or whatever. My hand is paining like hell." Karan cries in pain.

"Lekin mine to suna tha mard ko dard nahi hota. To main is ka kya matlab samjhu? Tum mard nahi ho?" She murmurs while searching for her car keys.

"Main kitna mard hu ye tumhe jan ne ki koi jarurat nahi he. Main apni mardangi galat jagah waste nahi karta."

"BC."

"Ha suna maine."

"To? Kya karu? Chalo ab. Car nikalti hu. Tumhe hospital patak kar aana he." Mona takes him outside with her.

In lift Karan cries for his broken hand while a middle aged couple walks in. He smirks while she glares at him.

"Agar koi bhi stunt kiya to I swear to god main dusra hath bhi tod dungi. Mummy kasam.

Muh khol bhi mat dena."

Karan shuts his half opened mouth. Mona helps him in sitting in car and takes him to nearby hospital. Doctor tells karan to take one month bed-rest to which mona scowls. That doctor might be fake. Who guves one month bed rest for a broken hand? Yeah..none but fake doctor. She myst report the hospital. The thought keeps on running in her mind but she has to keep quiet because its she who has broken that hand. If somehow it goes out she will be framed for domestic violence and for now she wants to stay away from lawyers and police. This almost 6 feet tall army man is enough headache for her.

After a thorough examination and treatment Karan comes out and finds her sleeping peacefully on waiting chair. He keeps on looking at her sleeping face and wonders.....

What can he do to make her pay back for this broken hand. Suddenly he remembers that mona is his wife. And for a second he feels so happy......and the very next he feels very very very happy for he has an idea how to get the revenge.

He picks up nearby lying surgical knife and the very next moment Mona screams her lungs out..

"Chutiya ho kya? Its fucking sharp! Maarne ka irada he kya? Dimag se paidal ho?"

Karan smirks...

"Sirf rakha tha tumhare hath par. Agar tumhe marna hi hota to believe me I have 100 ways to kill without even getting caught.  Chau to tumhe honeymoon ke bahane lejakar himalayas me chhor aau ya wahi kisi pahadi se dhakka de du. Believe me..I have so many ideas lekin tunhara khoon mujhe apne sar nahi lena.
Filhal ke liye utho aur mujhe headquarters lekar chalo. I have to apply for leave."

"Main kyu lekar jaau? Is city me drivers kam padh gaye ya tumhare pas paise ka akal padh gya? Book some damn cab or call some driver."

"Lekar jati ho ya doctor ko bolu ki hath kaise toota he?"

She calls him names under her breath which is obviously audible to Karan who in turn just puts his feet on her shoe lashes too many times and makes her trip.

Mona has understood that Karan is no less of scoundrel than her. And thats why she will never ever surrender and make him taste his own medicine.

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

Its Friday night and Somehow Ayushi has been badly stuck with her file works. Workload has increased many folds. moreover She never returned home after that fight with aaditya. However midst all the busy schedule Aditya was able to bring her dinner. He has bought her dinner every day in this week. when he appeared first time with a lunch box she went crazy. she literaly threw the lunchbox on the aaditya' face. but somehow her hunger forced her to amke amends with his food. so she instead of fighting over and over decided to let it go. let aaditya bring her food and give her a way not to return home. she just ignores his presence completely. the explanation that too a logical one is still pending. moreover she is not in mood of listening his excuses and sorries. 

Yes. He can have issues. But why to get married and that too this way? He could have asked her and there could have been another solutions. This way doing stuff was not called for. And then his caring nature...Man it sometimes scares her. Many times she wonders what trick he has next under his sleeves. And that's why she keeps on running. Instead of staying at home and chilling she has decided to indulge herself in work. after that outburst somehow she feels little bit guilty but no....she cant stay with him under one roof. so work is only option available. So much work she has taken as it's been almost impossible for her to even breathe. She hoped Aditya would leave her ass alone. But alas! He kept on appearing. Why he does so? What does he want? She can not trust him even a bit.

She is lost in her thoughts when a tiffin box is put harshly on the table. Seeing that lunch box her mind goes bonkers.

"Kya bakchodi he ye? Maine bola tha-

Sali tu kya kar rahi he yaha? Aur ye kya layi he?"

Its mona who has brought her that lunch box. For a second Ashi is suspicious that she might have brought her empty lunch box. She knows her friend. Only thing she knows in kitchen is faking tantrums.

"Alu ki sabji aur parathe. Apun ko is se jyada kuch banana nahi aata. Maine suna tha tu aaj kal ghar nahi jati to isliye tere liye lunch layi hu."

She stares at her for a full minute.

"Kaam bol."

"Kya bat karti he jan! Tere pas sirf kam ke liye thode na aati hu. Meri mohbbat par shak? Ya allah! Yahi dekhne ko bacha tha."

"I know you better. I have seen you inside out. Kaam bta. Tujhse pani na ubale. Lunch bana kar laayi he jarur koi kam hoga. Bta. Kya kand bithaya he."

That very moment mona takes a seat adjacent to her and comes as close as possible.

"Maine karan ka hath tod diya. And he is blackmailing me. Bolta he domestic violence ka case karega. main bhari jawani me jail nahi jana chahti. he blackmails me. raub dikhata he  And he forces me to do all his chores. Please save me. Is se pahle ki main karan ka khoon bhi kar du tu mujhe ye bta ki what should I do?"

Ashi rolls on floor after hearing her. Man! No matter how suspicious he is of aditya and how colorless her married life with him is, mona makes sure to entertain her. Since she has married Karan only thing she has done is entertaining her. Her married life with karan is very good. Not for her but for others. She provides a good laugh.  And karan too...he is a well suited match for her. The way mona creates ruckus only Karan has been the one who is surviving and making her pay. 

Only thing aditya has done good is getting mona married to karan. If she is not happy with aditya for almost everything this thing might be the sole reason she could see him in new light.

"Sali has mat. I am very scared. Bc agar usne case kiya to main to gayi. Meri job ka kya! Aur agar case nahi kiya to he makes me do all the things. Matlab mujhse khana banwana. Ghar ki safai. I hate him. mere aage kua to piche khai he. aur wo bhi nahi...yaha to har taraf mauthi maut he. main Uska khoon kar dungi. I swear. I hate him to the core. Ullu ka pattha. Sala"

"Seduce him."

"Nashe me he kya? Dimag ghass charne gya he. Seduce him? Is se accha he single mar jau. I am ready to waste my beauty than spending it on him. He doesn't deserve me." She flicks her hair.

"Hath kisne toda he? Tune. Case kis par hoga? Tujhpar. To seduce bhi tujhe hi karna hoga."

"Tu dost he ya dushman..koi dhang ka idea nahi he tere pas. Tu chahti he ki main bhari jawani me uske hatho lut jau? Tera dil nahi dukha?"

"Na. Bilkul nahi dukha. Jab main dukhi hu to main kisi aur ko sukhi nahi dekh sakti.

Aur waise bhi he is your husband. On papers at least. You people live together. Sidhi si bat he if he alleges you then there is nothing that can save you. Tu excuse degi bhi to court nahi manega. To isliye short cut he. Men think less with their mind more with their ....you know what I mean."

"Kaisa kanun he is desh ka. Abla nari ki koi sunta hi nahi."

"Abla? Tu sali karan ka tabla baja kar aayi he. Aur kami kya he usme? Do him."

Mona gives her blank expressions.

"Tu ja re. Apni degree bech de. Lawyer ke nam par dhabba sali. Kaun kahega tu lawyer he. Dhokhe se shadi ho gayi. Teri hi nahi meri bhi. Kam se kam paper to dekh kar padhti."

"Jyada mat bol. Chutiya tu bhi officer he. Tere ko nahi dikha ki kaha sign kar rhi he. Tujhe nahi hosh aaya ki papers padh kar sign karte he. Aur meri law ki degree par mat jayiyo. Garmi me sad sad kar exam diye he. Muh tod dungi tera."

"Chal be! Maine bhi maze maze me job nahi li.

Abe yaar. Hum log apas me argue kyu kar rahe he. Tu dhang ka idea de. I dont wanna seduce him. He is not man enough for me. I dont see him as a man."

"Almost 6' ka aadmi. Itne sare muscles. Aur kya chahiye tujhe? Doob mar sali. Waise to har teesre din tujhe naya crush aata he. Ab samne ghar me mal he to madam ke nakhre."

"Ha theek he. Jis din tu aur aditya will do each other I'll kiss karan.

Yuck. Chhheee. Maine nahi karna. Thhu thhhu.
Kaisi gandi gandi baate karti he. Soch kar hi rooh kamp gayi."

"Ho gya tera? Drama band kar.

Waise karan ka hath toota kaise?"

"Abe yar. Subah 4 baje yoga kar rha tha wo bhi light off karke. Mujhe laga chor he. Maine baseball bat de mara. Sala uska haath tooth gya."

"Chashma laga kar rakha karo bahan. Kal ko tum aise hum jaise gareeb praniyo ka bhi kuch tod sakti ho."

"Abe. Andha samjha he kya! Wo andhera tha yaar. And he didnt move. I thought he was a thief."

"Tu na sahi fansi he. Tu ek bar thande dimag se soch kar dekh. You broke his hand. Us bechare ko kitna dard huya hoga"

"Ha maine poocha bhi tha ki mard ho na to dard to nahi ho rha hoga. Agar use dard ho rha he to it means he is not a mard." listening mona' illogical talks aashi beats her head. 

"Doob ja re tu yamuna me. Lanat he sali tujh par. Bhaad me ja."

"Janeman..aisi bate nahi kar. Chal lunch kar phir chalte he ice cream khane. Mood refresh hoga."

"Yeah..i think I need some gala time."

"What about you and aditya?"

"I dont trust him."

"I know."

"And he cares a lot. He does every damn stuff to make me feel easy. instead it gives me creeps. I dont know why he is doing all this stuff...like making dinner, helping me in household chores, giving bed tea, like all the typical husband stuff. May be he has some hidden motive or may be because of his guilt. But I just dont trust him.

Sach kahu to ghar jane ka man nahi hota. meri aur uski kaha suni ho chuki he and i have left home for some time. I am literally scared pata nahi aaj kaun sa naya kaam kar rha hoga. I just want to stay away from him. I want some alone time. Pata nahi kab tak ye chalega. but I cant stay in my office forever."

"Bahan. Sach kahu to I am also wary of Karan. Lekin between him and I there is this tom and jerry fights happening all the time. To I am unable to pay attention to my doubts. Most of the time I want to tease him, make him pay so I forget about other things. But ha...I dont trust him either. We bicker all the day long. I see every damn opportunity to tease him. To do something to him. But besides it...I dont think with Karan I have something. Jo bhi uska family issue tha...Ya jo bhi huya..He never tried to tell me. And I never asked."

"Exactly..aditya has kept me in dark as well. Not that I wanna know but at least give us some insight. At least give a whole picture. You people freaking married us. You do owe us a proper explanation."

"Pata nahi kab tak aise hi chalega."

"Chal. Ice cream khate he. We do need some quality time."

"Ha bahan."

And both leaves the room for ice cream but ends up enjoying chhole bhature and lassi.
