8 pm

The puja has already ended,guests left the house taking prasad and blessing the would be parent's. Anupam and Shakshi too were willing to go but Kokila insists them to stay at least for the night and have dinner with them, Shakshi denies but agrees when Anamika requests.

''Shakshi hi aap bhi kamal karti hai. Samdhan ki baat sun tak na rahi thi aur bahu ne kaha nahi ki jhat se maan gayi.'' Rakhi teases her.

Shakshi smiles at her,''Bahu nahi beti hai ye hamari aur betiyon ki baat ko tala nahi jata Rakhi ji.'' She states, side hugging Anamika.

Rakhi gave a teasing smile to Kokila who didn't show any interest in her.

Meanwhile Vineet announces that he has to go for a meeting.

''Iss waqt!?" Shakshi questions.

''Haan maa, actually mei tumne mana kar diya tha aaj ke liye par unka call aaya tha ki wo log kal America jaaye rahe hai aur do mahine se pehle na aa paayenge toh humei abhi jana padega!" Sachin tells them as the three friends are working together on a project and because Rabat is out of station Vineet and Sachin have to manage everything.

''Uffo, tum dono bhi na aise kaun karta hai.'' Rakhi pouts to which Vineet assures her that they will be back before dinner.

The ladies agreed while the boys moved to their room to get ready for the meeting. After a while, they leave the house and the ladies get busy preparing dinner for the family.

...

Vineet and Sachin reached the pub and grinned at each other. It was all a plan that Vineet made and Sachin pushed himself in. When Vineet told his family about the meeting, Sachin got his intentions and played along. They lied to their family because they were bored after the Puja. Vineet also wanted to have some alone time far from Kokila.

The boys take their seats and order drinks.

Vineet gazes at Sachin,''abey tuhje kya gam hai jo peene baith gaya?" He questions him.

Sachin shook his head,''mujhe koi gam nahi filhal lekin aab tu apni problem batayega toh mujhe bhi dukh hoga hi na toh issiliye pehle hi order kar liya taki badh mei gam dur karne mei time waste na ho!" Sachin exclaimed only to receive a fierce glare from Vineet.

''Arey tu ghoor kyun raha hai yaar, aab jahir hai aab do peg ke badh tu batayega hi kya baat hai jo tujhe nikalna hi tha ghar se, chahe jhootha bol ke.'' Sachin raises his brow while taking his drink.

Vineet just rolled his eyes and took his drink. He gulped it down in one go. Sachin waits for him to open up, his friend takes down four pegs in a go and looks at him.

''Sachin mujhe bahut gussa aa raha hai!" He spoke, making a sour face.

''Dikh raha hai bhai!" Sachin says, indicating the empty glass beside Vineet.

''Tera saara khandaan pagal hai bey aur unn sab ki sardar teri maa hai!" Vineet spoke out in anger, gulping down another glass.

''I know I know!" Sachin shrugs.

''Sachin, aaj tujhe batana padega teri maa ko kis asylum se leke aaye ho tum log. Ya kahin ki daku thi wo pehle?" Vineet questions ordering his 7th peg but Sachin indicates the bartender to not take any further order.

''Kya pata, main badh mei aaya tha na yaar. Aab ye toh papa se puchna padega wo apni biwi kahan se jaaye hai aur ye toh hum kar nahi sakte kyunki uss se pehle gala dabb jaayega mera.'' Sachin said and laughed at his own statement.

''Sala, Rajat ko dekh ke bhi humko akal na aayi. Wo bichara toh piss hi raha tha hum dono bhi mithai ki lalach mei shadi ke khai mei kid gaye. Chahiye bas biwi thi free voucher ki taran ek khandaan bhi mil gaya wo bhi aisa jisko chahe jitna kuch kar lo use hi nahi ho santa, expired voucher ki taran, huhh!!" Vineet makes a face, Sachin agrees to him.

''Bhai tu kam se kam apne ghar mei toh sukoon se hai na main toh kahin chen se nahi Jee sakta. Ghar mei na office mei, maa ne apna chamcha office tak mei chor diya. Jindagi narkh si ho gayi hai. Aye Vineet, hum sanyas le lete hai fir shayad kuch shanti mille.'' Sachin suggested.

''Haan chal, main apni biwi ko bula leta hoon.'' Vineet sat taking out his phone, and Sachin snatched the phone from his hand.

''Abey, usse le hi gaye toh sanyas kaisa, usko toh chor ke jana padega!" Sachin tells him.

Vineet denies,''nahi, main apni biwi ko chor ke kahin na jayunga.'' He exclaims.

''Arey tharki insaan, biwi ko leke kaun sanyas jata hai?" Sachin questions, gulping down his 8th drink.

Vineet smacked his head,''meri drink rukwa ke khud tabse piye jaa raha hai. Sachin mujhe tere iraade nek nahi lagte, chal ghar chal.'' He holds his hand pulling him out of the place.

They drive to their home, fighting like cats and dogs all the way blaming each other for the extra drink they took. Vineet accuses Sachin that he intentionally questions about his sadness that made him drink more because he got depressed thinking about Kokila while Sachin says that it was all his (Vineet's) fault cause he's the one who planned to visit the pub.

Their blame game continues till they reach home. Once they enter the campus, they straighten their suit and make themselves presentable. To avoid the smell of alcohol they have been eating chewing gum and fennel seeds all through their journey.

A servant opens the door allowing them inside and she closes the door. The family was having dinner as it's already half past 10. Kokila asks the boys to freshen up and join them, but they deny saying they had their dinner with the client. Anamika narrowed her eyes because she knows her husband very well.

Vineet hardly makes dinner plans with clients. Infact, he doesn't like to go over lunch or dinner in any hotel or restaurant, he prefers home made food. They go out only if either his mother or Anamika insists.

Sachin and Vineet moved to their respective rooms while the other family members had their dinner and later dispersed to their respective rooms.

When Anamika enters the room she finds Vineet working over his laptop, actually avoiding having any conversation with her, so she silently changes into his favourite night wear and secures her seat beside him. She holds his hand snuggling closer to him and places her head on his shoulder.

''Baby, I love you!" She expresses, trailing her hand on his shoulder and chest.

He glanced at her,''I love you too meri haan!" He reciprocates smiling.

She cups his face with her one hand, gazing at him lovingly while her gaze intoxicates him. He's already pissed because of Kokila and her such gazes drive him crazy.

He leans closer the next moment she attaches their mouth. He moans as soon as she starts to smooch him but before he could reciprocate she pulls back and glares at him.

''Kya hua baby?" He asked in a sweet babish voice.

''Tum drink karke aaye ho na?" She put up the question which startled him.

''Nahi jaan!" He pulls himself back, Anamika holds his face.

''Acha, fir itni saunf kyun kha ke ghoom rahe ho? Tumhe to ye aadat hai nahi!" She demanded an answer which he didn't have.

''Baby, bas ek peg tha yaar!" He says, making a face.

Anamika slaps him and pushes him out of the bed.

''Get out!! Abhi!!!" She shouts.

''Arey, main yahan kahan jaun?? Bahar sab dekhenge toh kya sochenge?" He points, she refuses to hear anything from him.

''Mujhe nahi pata!! Aaj tak issi khidki se andar ghuste the aaj bahar jao, nikko!!" She orders pushing him towards the window.

''Arey yaar, main abhi nahi jaa sakta idhar se main gir jayunga.'' He tries to convince her but she shouts.

Vineet makes a face but agrees. He peeps out and manages to descend down the garden. Anamika closes the window glaring at him one last time.

When Vineet lands in the garden and turns he finds Sachin sitting at a distance, it seems Avantika pushes him out of the room.

Both the friends look at each other and laugh at their condition. Sachin offers him a seat beside which Vineet happily agrees. They laugh and discuss how their wife's throw them out while someone saw them in the garden and their words enraged that person.
