Vineet was angry, extremely angry at her act. She had a fever a few hours ago and now she's all dressed up to attend the puja, why? What is the need? Her mother doesn't even care about her health and this silly woman wants to participate in the puja organized by her, woww!!

''Vineet, ready toh ho jao. Puja start hone hi wali hai, sab aa chuke honge.'' She told him, and he turned away.

''Tumhe shauk hai tum jao main nahi jaa raha wahan, huhhh. Unko fikar hi nahi iski aur ye uchal rahi hai unke liye, badi aai puja mei jaane wali.'' He retorts.

Anamika gazes at him, she doesn't know how to explain her situation. She can't help it, her mother's behavior would never change towards her while he's not ready to accept her harshness for her, he wants her to fight but she can't.

She heads to him and embraces him from behind.

''Baby, kyun gussa ho rahe ho. Let it be na, unki aadat hai kuch bhi bolti hai tum kyun unki baaton ko mann se laga lete ho, jaane doh!" She says, convincingly.

Vineet removes her hand, freeing himself from her grip.

''Tumhe ye baat choti lagti hai mujhe nahi, main bewajah ki baatein na bolta hoon na bardasth kar sakta hoon. Har chij ki ek limit hoti hai lekin tumhari maa ke muh mei break hi nahi hai, kuch bhi bolti hai. Tumhe maza aata hoga unki baat sunne mei mujhe nahi aata, samjhi!" He rolls his eyes over her, completing his statement.

''Arey unke liye tum mujhe kyun dant rahe ho? Please na baby, chalo na. I'll pay you na if you cooperate!" She winks at him meaningfully.

In the next moment, he pins her on the side wall.

''Pehli chij, niche toh main kissi keemat pe nahi aaunga chahe kuch ho jaaye aur dusri baat jo chij meri hai usse dusre se lene ki jarurat nahi mujhe, ye jo malai si chikni body hai na teri wo meri personal property hai, haq hai mera. Badi aai i'll pay you, do minute ki kiss mei lungs saath chod deta hai aur pay karegi, bhag!!" He pushes her towards the door, she rolls her eyes.

''Soch lo, aisa na ho badh mei pachtana pade tumhe fir na kehna meine bola nahi.'' She emphasizes each word.

He stamped his foot on the floor,''bhag yahan se maa ki chamchi. Maa ke samne jaban khulti nahi aur yahan chale hi jaa rahi hai, nikal!" He pushes her out of the room and closes the door on her face, she sighs deeply shaking her head and moves to attend the puja.

Vineet locked the door from inside and opened his laptop to complete his office work as he's not even a cent interested to attend the puja organized by his in - laws. Okay, it's for his sister and her unborn child, he should be happy and be a part of their happiness but at the same time he can't stand Kokila's rude and heartless behavior towards Anamika.

She's his wife, he loves her immensely, actually he doesn't know how much he loves her, he can't describe his feelings in words - - his love for her is indescribable. He sometimes feels he may not be able to love his child the way he loves Anamika and he's not sorry about it. He has promised himself to keep her happy and loved, not today but forever.

Because he has seen her crying in their college days when they weren't dating. She used to visit college at sharp 9 am and would leave immediately after classes. He never saw her chilling around with friends, in fact she never had a friend. He is her first and last friend and he wants to prove himself a doting partner - a true friend.

The time when they started to date, she was hesitant to walk with him or even look at him, her gaze never lifted up until he opened his heart to her. He had tried to convince her for 2 long years, only after that she agreed to accept him as a friend. Time passes and she too opens up to him. She never complained about her mother but her words were enough to know how hurt she is, how badly they treated her, maybe because she's a girl.

Vineet takes a deep breath, Kokikal's name enrages him always back from their college days, when once Anamika attends college with a red cheek. Upon asking she told him that Kokila slapped her because she was late the other day, it enraged him to the core.

Even now, just her name spoils his mood but his lady love doesn't understand his point and throws tantrums to visit her mother, as if she loves her, huhh!!

Vineet came out of his trance when someone knocked on the door of his room. He opened the door and found Sachin.

''Kya hai?" Vineet questioned, straight forward.

''Tu niche puja main nahi aaya, sab tere baare mei puch rahe hain.'' Sachin told him politely, though he knew the reason.

''Waah, badi jaldi khayal aaya tere khandaan ko ki unka ek jamai bhi hai, kya baat hai. Arey haan, beti toh aaj tak khatki hi hai toh uss se judi koi chij yaad kaise rahegi. Par koi baat nahi, main yahin thik hoon apni biwi ke room mei niche kissi ki position down ho rahi hai iss wajah se toh i don't funking care about others!" His pitch of voice increases as he finishes his statement.

''Arey tu mujh pe kyun bigad raha hai, meine kya kiya hai.'' Sachin makes a face.

''Exactly, tu kuch karta hi nahi. Actually, iss ghar mei koi kuch nahi karta siwaye badkismati se meri sasu maa se. Dekh Sachin mera mood bahut off hai, tu jaa yahan se.'' Vineet says, trying to calm his anger.

Sachin sighs, meanwhile Anamika approaches them and asks Sachin to feel his presence in puja while she pushes Vineet inside and enters the room closing the door behind.

She moves to the closet and takes out a pair of kurta and pajamas for Vineet. She places them on bed and takes him towards the washroom, he protests.

''Dekho, bahut nakhre kar liye tumne aab bahut hua. Chup chap jaa ke ready ho jao nahi toh aacha nahi hoga.'' She tries to threaten him.

He glares at her, keeping his hand on his waist.

''Kya kar legi warna haan? Bakwas na kar mere saath, already bahut mood off hai mera.'' He spoke, trying to move but she pinned him on the washroom door.

''Kyun kar rahe ho aisa yaar, please chalo na niche bua maasi sab aai hai, sab tumhare baare mei puch rahe hai, kya jawab dun unko main. Itni choti si baat pakad ke baithe ho tum, let it be na!" She tries to convince him.

''No, ye mere liye itni choti baat nahi hai. Tumhara pata nahi par main ye bilkul bardasth nahi kar sakta koi tumhare baare mei kuch bakwas kare. Badi hai mujh se issliye kuch na kiya warna wahin muh tod ke haath mei de deta.'' He fumed in anger.

Anamika instantly pecked his lips.

''Aww baby, itna pyar karte ho.'' She raises her brows as she caresses his cheek with her thumb.

''Aise chipak ke koi faida na hoga, mera mood thik na hone wala!" He told her, looking away.

''Toh kya karne se hoga?" She questions seductively, touching his throat with her tongue.

''Hoshiyar na bano, aisa na ho fir dono hi yahan reh jaaye.'' He says, meaningfully.

She giggles,''okay!! Agar tumhari yahi icha hai toh yahi sahi at least log ye keh sakte hai ki miya biwi romance kar rahe hai aur wo tumhare niche na aane ke taane se toh thik hi rahega!" She exclaims throwing her arms around his neck and attached her lips with him while his act surprised her such that she couldn't utter a word for many moments.
