Anamika was happy after spending some quality time with her family. It's been 6 month of her marriage but she feels like a century has passed by as she wasn't able to meet her family, all thanks to her husband!

Having dinner with her family Anamika moves to her room, a constant smile playing on her lips. She was happy after all. 

Entering her room, she closes the door and moves to the washroom to change. After a few minutes, she stepped in the room and sat on the bed applying some lotion on her body when a pair of hands hugged her from behind. 

Anamika chuckles knowing it's Vineet who came to see her through the window. He and his tricks to meet her are just too weird. 

She lean on his chest,''mujhe laga tum nahi aaoge!'' She says teasingly. 

He places his chin on her shoulder and holds her hand,''haan haan!! Tumhe toh lagge ga hi na yahi jo chah rahi thi tum par tumhare lagne se kya hota hai, I do what I want kissi ko aacha lage na lage mujhe uss se kya!'' He states meaningfully, indicating to her mother. 

Anamika tilted her head and look at him,''wo toh I know, kitne mannmarji ho tum bas apne mann ki karte ho kissi ki sunte hi nahi.'' She makes a face. 

Vineet narrowed his eyes,''tumhari kab na suni jo aise bol rahi ho? Kuch bhi bakwas na karo, mujhe gussa aa jaayega!'' He says, rolling his eyes.

She giggles at his irritation. She knows he's frustrated and angry because she came here and her mother didn't even ask him to stay here not even for the name sake. 

''Hasso maat!'' He glares at her.

Anamika turns to him without breaking the chain of his arms around her. 

''Uff, meine kya kiya jo mujh pe gussa dikha rahe ho?'' She asked, throwing her arms around his neck as she sat on his lap.

''Sab tumne hi kiya hai biwi! Pehle toh jabardasti haan bulwa liya fir aaj ek baar bhi rukne ko na kaha, tumhari maa se toh aur kuch expect bhi na kar sakta main par tum toh kuch kehti, huhh,  matlabi!'' He says dejectedly.

Anamika stares at him for few moment and says,''mere kehne se kya hota, maa toh bhai ki bhi na sunti meri kahan sunegi!'' She says meaningfully.

Vineet makes a face,''fir bhi yahan aane ke liye tadap rahi thi jaise jaane tumhari maa ko kitni fikar hai tumhari.'' He rolls his eyes teasingly.

''Arey aab unko fikar ho na ho mujhe toh hai! Fir kitne din ho bhi gaye the sabse mille hue!'' She reasoned. 

Vineet shrugged his shoulders and smooch her lips, she slapped on his shoulder and moved back. 

''Tumhe aur kuch nahi sujhta kya, jab dekho chipakne lagte ho. Chup chap so jao, nahi toh fir kal office na jaa paaoge aur sara blame mujh pe dalogi ki meine pareshan kiya!'' She states. 

Vineet smiles coyly,''haan toh, kya galat bola meine tum hi toh pareshan karti ho hamesha. Jis kiss mei muskil se panch minute lagenge uske liye manane mei tum 20 minute waste karwa deti ho, fir jab milti ho toh itne lambe sabarr ka mitha faal aab aadmi aaram se hi khayega na!'' He winks at her teasingly, trailing his finger on her face. 

She slaps his hand, ''chii, tumhari non - vegetarian baatein mujhe badi gandi lagti hai! Choro mujhe, sone doh!'' She struggles to free herself but his grip was firm on her.

''Aacha ji, tum badi vegetarian baatein karti ho haan. Miss Sanskari kal raat ko tumhari saari sarafat dikh gayi thi. Kaise tumne apne vegetarian harkaton se mujh masoom se haan bulwa liya aur aab mujhe hi kehti ho main aachi baatein na kehta!'' He retires and tickles her, making her jump at her place. 

She tries to run away but he doesn't let her move and tickles her more, Anamika laughs aloud at his action. Anamika falls on the bed with him on top, he continues tickling her while she begged to leave her.

''Aha.hahaha..Vi..vinu..stoppppp..hahhaha''

Her loud voice reached Sachin's room.who was busy checking a file. 

''Anu iss time itne jor jor se kyun hans rahi hai!?'' Avantika says in amusement. 

Sachin shrug his shoulder,''kya pata, kuch dekh rahi hogi shayad.'' He says not looking at her though he knows the reason behind his sister's loud laughter but he doesn't find it appropriate to tell his wife the same. 

Avantika looks at him,''ho sakta hai par tum jaake dekho na ek baar, agar maa uth gayi toh gussa karengi fir!'' She says in concern, she doesn't want Anamika to get scolded by Kokila just for laughing at night. 

Sachin looks at her, he doesn't want to go because he knows what's going on there but he finds his wife correct. If Kokila finds out this she will be angry at Anamika. 

He nodded his head and left the room. 

Reaching Anamika's room, he knocked on the door, the sound of laughter was much clearer now. 

Anamika and Vineet get alerted, she immediately sits up and looks at him.

''Tumhare ghar mei privacy naam ki cheez nahi, jab dekho aa jaate hai darwaja knock karne.'' He makes a face but hides behind the curtains. 

Anamika makes herself presentable and opens the door. Sachin smiles at her.

''Bhai aap yahan, kuch kaam tha?'' Anamika asked. 

Vineet who was hiding heard his name so came out from his hideout. He glares at Sachin.

''Kaisa insaan hai tu, jab dekho aa jata hai muh utha ke, huhh, privacy naam ki chij hi nahi iss ghar mei!'' He makes a face.

Sachin shot him a deadly glare, ''ohh, hello! Mujhe koi shawk nahi aane ka par aab iss room se itni awajein aayengi toh koi toh aayega hi na dekhne. Aur waise bhi main toh aata bhi nahi, teri behen boli jaa ke dekhne ko issliye aaya main.'' Sachin reasoned. 

Vineet roll his eyes,''abey usko pata nahi hai par tu toh janta hai na!'' He says meaningfully.

''Aab main usko ye toh nahi bata sakta na ki uska bhai chori chupe meri behen se milne aaya hai!'' Sachin scoffs. 

Vineet rolls his eyes but hugs Anamika from behind,''biwi hai meri, aayunga nahi kya!'' 

Anamika tries to shoo him away but he tightens his grip, Sachin shakes his head.

''At least awajein hi kaam kar lo. Nahi toh maa aa gayi dekhne toh jis raste aaye ho ussi raste bhaagna padega.'' Sachin says. 

Anamika nodded and closed the door. She glares at Vineet and slap on his arm, Vineet jumps apart.

''Arey, kya kiya meine.'' He questions rolling his eyes.

''Bhai ke samne aise chipak kyun rahe the, tumhe sharm nahi aati par mujhe toh aati hai na.'' She glares at him. 

Vineet stares at her for a few moments but apologises, he doesn't want to create any scene in his in - law's home. 

He holds her hand,''chalo let's sleep, i'm tired!'' He exclaims and pulls her to the bed. 

They laid down on either side snuggling close, she had her back on his side and placed her head on his outstretched arm while he was hugging her from back. 

He caressed her palms and fingers. It's his habit to caress her hand and play with her fingers. 

''I missed you so much!!'' He exclaims.

''Vineet, bas kuch ghante hi hue mujhe yahan aaye.'' She stated meaningfully. 

''Arey! Kuch ghanton mei kitne saare minutes hote hai, kitne seconds hote hai. Ek ek second kitni mushkil se guzra mera, tumne toh ek message tak na kiya mujhe aur na reply kiya, you are so mean.'' He complains. 

''Kuch bhi!! Kissi ko kissi se itni bhi attachment nahi honi chahiye ki kich waqt bhi uske bina na raha jaaye, bahut takleef hoti hai fir agar kabhi dur rehna par jaaye toh!'' Anamika says, turning towards him, Vineet gazes at her. 

''Tumhe lagta hai main tumhe kahin jaane dunga, befijul ke sapne dekhne band karo.'' He glares at her. 

''Arey baba main apni baat nahi kar rahi just keh rahi hoon.'' She clarifies.

''Mujhe interest nahi!" He exclaims. 

Anamika stares at him, her husband is more like a psycho lover who is always behind her. 

Anamika sighs deeply and snuggles to him. It doesn't matter how he acts, the only fact that matters to her is his immense love for her and that's all that matters.

Vineet pecks her head. Soon, sleep embraces them. 

...

Next morning.. 

Anamika and Vineet were sleeping peacefully in each other's arms while Kokila was knocking on the door continuously. 

''Hey Krishna bhagwan, ye ladki ki nind kitni pakki ho gayi hai tabse knock kar rahi hoon khol hi nahi rahi darwaja.'' Kokila continued to knock, she was getting angry. She called for Sachin who came by in a moment.

''Kya hua maa, itni subha subha aap yahan kya kar rahi hai?'' Sachin questions as it's just 5:30 in the morning. 

''Saadhe panch baaj rahe hai Sachin, itni bhi subha nahi hai! Main Anamika ko apne saath Mandir le jana chahti thi par ye ladki darwaja hi nahi khol rahi.'' Kokila said, a bit annoyed. 

Sachin sighs,''maa wo so rahi hogi, aap kyun usse disturb kar rahi hai. Chaliye main aapko le chalta hoon Mandir.'' He spoke knowing that Vineet must be inside and Anamika doesn't wake this early now but Kokila glared at him. 

She harshly knocks on the door. Anamika's sleep gets disturb with the loud roaring voice of her mother. She sits up instantly and jerks Vineet, he squirm. 

''Kya hai sone doh mujhe.'' He shouted and slept cozily. 

''Vineet utho, maa bahar aai hai jao yahan se.'' She told him while shaking him. 

Vineet though open his eyes but makes a face,''unko subha subha kya kaam hai yaar, sone bhi na deti dhang se!'' He complains but moves to the washroom. 

Anamika adjusted her dress and opened the door. Kokila rolls her eyes, her blood boils to see her in night dress.

''Tum aab tak aaram se so rahi thi, 6 bajne ko aaye hai suraj sar charne ko aaye aur tum aab tak bistar par padi ho. Yahan aise karti ho toh wahan bhi karti hogi, kya sochte honge wo log hamare baare mei ki humne koi sanskar hi na diye hai apni beti ko!'' Kokila shouted at her badly, Anamika shivers at her place. Tears build up in her eyes.

Kokila holds her face between her fingers and thumb,''aansu bahane jaisi koi baat nahi kahi hai meine tumse, chup chap jaake jaldi se taiyar hoke aao humein Mandir jana hai.'' Saying so she jerks her face and leaves from there.

''Vineet se kehna aaj sham ko hi aake tujhe le jaaye!'' Sachin said meaningfully and took his leave. He knows his sister is happy there with his friend and his family, at least they love her and respect her. 

Anamika closes the door, tears roll down her cheek. She opened her eyes feeling a warm touch in her cheek. 

She looks up and finds Vineet standing beside her, she down her gaze.

''Ho gayi icha puri yahan aane ki?'' He asked teasingly, Anamika didn't reply.

Vineet pulls her to him and cups her face with his one hand, he caresses her cheek with his thumb and gazes at her.

''Be ready by 11, main tumhe pick karne aa jaunga aur agli baar se sochna bhi maat yahan aane ki.'' He warned her to which she placed her head on his chest and sobs. He embraced her in his arms and caressed her back. 

After sometime, Vineet takes his leave while Anamika gets ready and leaves for the temple with her family. 

...

Singhania House..

Vineet enters the house and finds his mother setting the breakfast table. 

She looks at him, ''aa gaya tu? Kaam hua tera?'' She asked as he told her that he'll be in his office for some work. 

Vineet just nodded and moved to his room, he threw himself on the bed, many thoughts were running in his mind. 

He doesn't like it when Kokila scolds Anamika for no reason, he sees tears in her eyes for the first time after their marriage. He wonders how his sister has been living there for the past one and a half years. Anamika is used to it, she had bear her mother tortures all these years before marriage but Avantika? What about her? She had never been through all this, their mother never scolded her nor their father. She's a darling for them but now she's there in the cage of Kokila who is heartless. 

Vineet sighs deeply and turns, Kokila's harsh words bring tears in Anamika's eyes who's use to it then how his darling sister would be feeling after being scolded and taunted by the lady over every small thing. He can't even handle the pain his sister is going through. 

She may not say it as she loves Sachin and he too loves her dearly but reality can't be changed. A marriage is not a relationship just between two people but it binds their family as well and they need to respect each other, but his sister is not getting the love she deserves he knows it. 

He would bring Anamika back to his home to save her from Kokila but what about his sister? 

With all these thoughts Vineet falls asleep!
