He stands before her with a towel wrapped around his waist and kurta on while she is all dressed and ready to leave. 

''Vineet tum kya kar rahe ho? Kab tak towel mei khade rehne ka irada hai tumhara? For god sake ready ho jao, please, Humein jaane mei bhi teen ghante lagenge.'' His wife, Anamika reminds him for god knows how many  times but he's not ready to leave. 

He, Vineet Aaryan, an actor, much more successful, and much more romantic but his wife is something different. Anamika, a model, though outspoken but not that deep romantic like him. She's a calm soul while he's somewhat Wild, they are two opposite souls yet united by love. 

''Biwi, why are you doing this to me? Teen din se aise hi ghuma rahi ho tum mujhe. Why are you pushing me yaar? Can't we have some moments? Itna kya tadpana hai tumhe? Aisa bhi kya maang liya maine tumse? Come on yaar, don't do this to me. Tum janti ho i can't hold on, please stop it yaar!" He grunted as he's frustrated  with her behavior of ignoring him and trying to avoid any kind of interaction with him for the past three days, after he proposed to spend some quality time with her. 

''Aisa kuch nahi hai Pati! It's just that I'm occupied with something, don't take it otherwise please!!" She spoke convincingly but he's not easy to please when frustrated or irritated. 

''Really? Then prove me wrong!! A smooch will work!!" He exclaims, her heart skips a beat when he almost pulls her to himself. 

She immediately placed her hand on his chest,''hey!! We're getting late, abhi ye sab Start mat karo tum, please! I promise wapas aa ke tum jo kahoge wo karungi main!!" She says convincingly but he didn't take that.

''No!!! Main teen din wait kar chuka hoon, no More! Waise bhi i'm not interested to be a part of that wedding. Rehne doh! Let's have our moment!" He spoke as he hid his face in the crook of her neck. 

''Pati please! Do ghante laga ke ready hui hoon main, don't spoil my hardwork!!" She requested. 

He chuckles and gazes at her While cupping her face,''don't worry, I'll return your investment with double profit!" He exclaims and in the next moment seals her lips, taking her in deep, passionate smooch and once it started she gave up immediately, held him tight and reciprocated with the same intensity as if she wanted the same. He smiled thinking he should have done it earlier, after all she's never going to take the initiative, he has to take the first step. He holds her closer while she surrenders herself in his arms. 

Ahh!! How good it feels to love your love! Haven!! 

She moans in his mouth when his hand trails on her back, trying to move under her blouse. She arch her body, giving him access after all who's gonna claim her if not him? 

"Biwi!!" He calls her out, inhaling her fragrance while she just throws herself in his arms and pecks his neck to which he again seals her lips taking her in a passionate smooch for the second time. 

They were too involved now, loving each other being their all time favorite game but their sweet game was soon interrupted by a knock on the door and some loud calling from outside. They lose their hold onto each other and share a gaze which was again Interrupted by the aggressive knocks on the door. Anamika immediately ran to the washroom while Vineet, after checking himself in the mirror, opened the door. A young girl in her  teen entered the room and charged on him for not being ready. 

''Daddy!! Aap abhi tak ready nahi hue?? Hum late ho jaayenge!" The girl scolded her father. 

She is Aanya Aaryan, the younger child of the couple, the girl is 15 years old and is in school, she holds a special place in her father’s heart, after all daughters are father's precious jewels. The couple have a son too, Ansh Aaryan, mumma's boy! He's in the first year of his college and 18 years old. 

''I'm almost ready jaan, bas ye pajama lagana hai iron kar ke!" He assured the girl in a calm tone. 

''Urgh!! Ye meine iron kar ke rakha hai Daddy, isko fir kyun iron karna hai? Aap kitna late karte ho!" She complained, making a face. 

''Aur mumma kahan hai?'' It's Ansh who entered the room, asking about his mother. 

''She's in the washroom, last minute prep kar rahi hai!!" Vineet told them. 

''Oh ho!! Aap dono kitna dheere ready hote ho? Aise toh hum unke reception pe pahuchenge. Aap dono ne packing toh ki hai na?? Humein wahan aaj ki raat toh rukna hi padega, kal sham ko hi wapas aa paayenge hum, Dad yaad hai na aapko!?" Ansh questions his father while searching for any bag pack. 

''Hey, main tum dono ka baap hoon, tum mere parents nahi ho so hold on! Packing kar li hai meine, dressing room mei rakha hai bag. Aab jyada CID na bano dono aur bahar jao, das minute mei aata hoon ready ho ke!" Vineet exclaims, rolling his eyes. 

"Yahi baat aapne 45minutes pehle bhi kahi thi Dad!! Please be quick na, wahan jaane mei bhi kitna time lagta hai!" Ansh complained and made a face, Aanya did the same to which Vineet assured them that this time he'll be ready in ten minutes. The sibling knew it wasn't going to happen but arguing with their father didn't seem to be a good idea so they just nodded and moved out of the room. 

Vineet let out a sigh and wore his pajama, he can't cancel the plan just like that when his kids are so excited for the same. Earlier they have canceled numerous plans at the last moment when they felt it was better to spend time together than to attend some functions but now the situation is different and they have to go according to it. 

"Shona!!" He calls for his wife, even after years of their marriage he prefers to call her by the nickname he gave her out of love. 

"Aai!!" She shouted from the dressing room and in the next moment she was standing before him. 

He smiles at her, "I hope you remember you promise!?" He reminded her of the promise she made a few moments back. 

"Pati!! Not again, please!! Badh ki baat ghar aa ke karenge abhi chalo aur haan, wo bag lena mat bhulna tum, gift ussi mei hai." She instructed to which he bows before her, Anamika laughed and moved out of the room followed by him. 

Ansh and Aanya were waiting for them in the Hall. Anamika passes a smile to them and they move out of the house. Ansh settled on the passenger seat while Aanya and Anamika took the back seat, Vineet set to arrange his bag in the backseat when his cell range, he kept the bag and attended the call as it was from a director with whom he's working. They discuss a few things after which he hangs up the call and moves to take his seat but finds the passenger seat occupied by Ansh, his driver was at his place and the mother daughter behind. 

"Ansh, bache tum Aanya aur mumma ke sang piche baith jao main aage baith jata hoon!" Vineet requested his son who nodded and changed his seat while Vineet took the passenger seat. 

Ansh and Aanya hugged their mother placing their head on her both shoulders to which she patted their head lovingly.

Vineet glanced at them through the mirror, "kya baat hai? Mumma pe bahut pyar aa raha hai dono ko?" He teases his kids to which they made a face. 

"Mumma ko pyar karna sirf aapka right thodi hai; hum bhi kar sakte hai!" Ansh exclaims surprising his father while Anamika turns red at his statement. 

"Hey!!" Vineet rolls his eyes over his son to which the siblings giggles. 

Vineet shook his head and asked the driver to proceed. 

... 

In around four hours they reached the venue which was a hotel called "Classic Grand". The family moved into the hotel premises which were elegantly decorated. 

As soon as they step in the wedding area a couple approach them. They are Ruhaan Randhawa, he's an actor as well. A dashing guy in his mid forties, still driving the girls crazy with his sexy moves but the guy is head over heels for his love and wife Ruhana, who's a journalist. A lady of her terms. Ruhana is Anamika's elder sister while Vineet and Ruhaan have known each other for a long time, they have been good friends since their struggling days in acting. 

"Badi der kardi meharmaa aate aate!! Mujhe toh laga kahin cancel hi na kar do aana!" Ruhaan spoke as he welcomed them, the couples shared a hug while the kids ran inside to attend the function. 

"Aise kaise nahi aate Jiks!? Ree ki shadi hai aana toh tha hi!" Anamika exclaims. 

"Haan haan!! Bada fikar hai tujhe uski shadi ki! Maasi hai tu, infact uski fav maasi hai aur tu aaj aa rahi hai shadi ke din, wo bhi jab aab rashmein suru hone ko aai hai. Main bahut naraaz hoon tujh se!" Ruhana spoke, rolling her eyes over her sister who doesn't turn up for other functions of the wedding. 

"Di!! Aanya ke exams the aapko pata toh hai, exam chor ke toh nahi aa sakte na." Anamika reasoned to which Ruhana eyed her. 

"Arey aap naraaz kyun ho rahi ho itna. Jiks, aap toh kuch bolo!! Meine bataya toh tha aapko!!" Anamika makes a face. 

"Naa bhai, main tum behno ke bich kuch nahi bolungi nahi toh badh mei tum dono ek side ho jaaogi aur mujhe hi sunna padega." Ruhaan spoke, raising his hand, Vineet giggled at his statement to which Anamika glared at him. 

"Di please!! Aap apni ladli se hi puchna, kal hi exams khatam hue uske toh aaj dekho aapke samne hoon main, please naraz mat ho na!!" Anamika holds her sister's hand, making a puppy face. 

Ruhana playfully slaps her head, "nautanki mat kar!! Abhi toh maaf kar rahi hoon par shadi ho jaaye fir khabar lungi teri!" She spoke to which Anamika makes a face but the couples move inside to attend the function. 

"Toh? Itna late kaise ho gaye? Ansh toh sham ko hi bata raha tha nikalne wale ho fir? Kahin tum games khelne toh nahi baith gaye they?" Ruhaan teases Vineet as they walk towards the Mandap. 

Vineet shot him a glare,"tumhe sharm nahi aati aise puchte hue? Sharm karo, sharm karo, bete ki shadi hai aur baap aise aslil baatein kar raha hai, kya sochegi tumhari bahu? Ek toh waise hi main pareshan hoon! Tumhari iss shali ke hazaar nakhre hai, kuch nahi manti, huhh!" He made a face, showing his disappointment.

"Arey chup raho tum, ye sab tumhari wajah se hi ho raha hai, tumhari hi wajah se seh mili hai sabko. Jo tum jaldi macha ke apne pyar ka dhindhora poore seher mei bina peete reh jaate kuch sal toh sabhi bacho ko sambhalna easy hota par abhi toh sabka yahi kehna hai Pops ne bhi 20 year mei Momsy se shadi ki toh main kyun naahi kar sakta!? Huhh!! Tumhari wajah se ye ladka do mahine se mere sar pe baitha tha aur aab iski maa mujhe apne aas paas bhi nahi bhatakne deti kyun? Kyunki aab hum buddhon ki category mei aa gaye hai, I'm just too done with it!!" Ruhaan verbalizes his disarray.  

"Haan toh sahi hai na, bahu ke aane ke badh bhi tum romance karte hue kaise lagoge? Apne umra ka lihaj karo jara! Aise mann ko chanchal matt karo aab, sambhal jao." Vineet teases him. 

Ruhaan rolls his eyes, "fikra maat kar beta tera number bhi jald aayega. Tere bete ne bhi ladki dhundh rakhi hai aur meri saali toh abhi hi tumhe bhaw nahi deti fir bete ki saath ke badh toh kahin room mei sone hi na de tumhe. You know na tumhare saath kuch bhi ho sakta hai!" Ruhaan to show him the mirror. 

"Aur issiliye main Ansh ko New York bjej raha hoon aage ki padhai ke liye. Na yahan rahega na hoga koi panga! Kyunki ye obvious hai uss bande ne shadi kar li toh mere couch pe sone ke din aa jaayenge jo main bilkul nahi chahta, arey abhi umar hi kya hai meri!" Vineet suddenly turns defencive. 

"Sirf 43!! I know! The thing is, jaldi shadi is equal to jaldi bacha which is equal to no romance in 40s, humne ye sab socha hi nahi par dekho, hamare saale sahab Aniket babu 40 ke ho ke kitne maje mei hai. Do saal pehle bhaisaab ne shadi ki, bache ki planning kar nahi rahe kyunki Mrs. Aniket ke film contract chhut jaayenge toh they are going to either adopt or not have a child which is equal to forever romance! Why didn't I do all this calculation before marriage?" Ruhaan curses himself. 

They settled on a table and took their drink. 

"I tell you why? Because you are a dumbass!" Vineet exclaims. 

Ruhaan scoffs, "oh really, fir tum kya ho?" He questions. 

"Tumhara dost hone ke naate main bhi wahi hoon!" Vineet proudly announced and they laughed at their moment when a voice interrupted them. They turn to find Aniketveer, Ruhana and Anamika's brother. 

The men had known each other for a long time even before settling in their career. Aniketveer is a producer and he's the one who financed the first film of both the guys. It was years later that they (Vineet and Ruhaan) met the sister, fell in love and got married. 

Aniketveer joined them, "Hii guys!" He greeted them. 

"Haan, hii hi lag gayi hai mujhe sabki!" Ruhaan made a face. 

"Kya hua jiju? Why so sad?" Aniket questions, finding his brother - in - law off bit. 

"Tumhari wajah se!" Vineet exclaims, taking a sip of his drink. 

"Meine kya kiya? Main toh abhi aaya hi hoon." Aniket was confused by the sudden accusation. 

"Haan pad you fail to convince Reyansh na! Ek kaam diya tha tumhe wo bhi nahi kar paaye, aab dekho. Banda khudke romance ke license pe stamp lagwa raha hai aur iske license expire ho raha hai. Dukhi toh hoga hi bechara!" Vineet explains. 

"Arey i tried hard, wo maan bhi gaya tha fir suddenly Nitya said pyar pana bahit muskil hota hai, kabhi kabhi mauka chhut jaaye toh sadiyon ka intezzar ban jata hai aur kabhi kabhi mil hi nahi pata. Itne pe bande ne apna decision change kar liya. Main kuch bol bhi nahi paya aage." Aniket made a sour face, opening up his side of the story for god knows how many times. 

"Don't give this explanation, you can't justify your failure!" Ruhaan rolls his eyes. 

"Arey! I tried yaar!! And why are you this sad? You have had enough romance in the past 23 years, don't cry for it." Aniket spoke, only to be shot at deadly glares. 

"That toh you also had enough!" Ruhaan retorts. 

"Come on!" Aniket tried to speak up. 

"Shut up!" Vineet shuts him up, he scoffs but obeys. 

"I just hope Ana doesn't create a scene, Ansh maan chuka hai, in fact he's happy but Ana, I don't trust her over the matter!" Vineet word his concern to which Ruhaan shook his head while Aniketveer glances at them but doesn't speak up, though his gaze speaks a lot. 

"What are you trying to hide?" Ruhaan questions, noticing his act. 

"Nothing!" Aniketveer tried to brush off but it was too late. 

"Aniket speak up, main nahi chahta Reyansh ki shadi mei main tujhe peetu!" Vineet threatened him. 

"Arey yaar, tum dono mujh pe kyun phat rahe ho? Dekho i don't know much but...but the girl Ansh is seeing is also planning to shift New York with him." Aniketveer disclosed giving a mini heart attack to Vineet. 

"What!" He almost screamed, gathering surrounding attention. 

Ruhaan smiles at them, assuring them that things are fine. While Vineet had already pulled Aniketveer by his collar. 

"Aniket Kaminey, aur kya chuppa ke baitha hai tu? Ruhann I'm telling you, Reyansh ko issi ne bhadkaya hai shadi ke liye warna ye tab bhi bol sakta tha wo nahi maan raha par nahi, jab bande pahad chadh gaya tab ye humko batane aaya ki he's adamant. Ye, yahi sabki jar hai!!" Vineet screamed at him but in low pitch because he doesn't want people to notice them. 

"Arey yaar mujhe kuch nahi pata tha aur ye Ansh wali baat toh mujhe aaj Nitya ne batai hai aur usse Raina ne batai aur Raina ko Aanya ne! Ismei mera koi haath nahi, main toh tum logon se sab bata hi raha hoon!" Aniketveer defended himself as he managed to free himself from Vineet clutches. 

"Matlab Vineet, hum dono ko chhor ke ye baat sabko pata hai aur isko bhi, jhooth bol raha hai wo baat alag hai. I'm so done with it! Ye ladke kuch jyada hi udd rahe hai, mera wala toh khair out of control ho gaya you still have time, do something!" Ruhaan nudges Vineet whose gaze was fixed at Aniketveer filled with rage. 

"Kaise ho yaar tum dono, sharm karo thoda. Aab waise bhi umar ho gayi hai dono ki fir bhi romance ke chakkar mei bachon ki love life barbad karne pe tule ho, very bad! Tum dono ne khud bbi issi age mei shadi ki par bachon ka time aaya toh aosi harkat kar rahe ho, huh!" Aniketveer commented and this time Ruhaan grabbed his collar. 

"First of all, you don't have the right to comment on our age kyunki bro hum teeno mei jyada fark hai nahi. Second, it is not about us. I do not need to remind you jab humne shadi ki tab hum already settled they, I had already given 10 hits back to back and he was at the peak of his career unlike tumhare pyare bhanje jo aaj tak pocket money humse lete hai! When we got married, we were the ones spending on our wedding aur yahan saara kharcha main kar raha hoon, even for their destination honeymoon. So, you can clearly see the difference." Ruhaan presented the truth, Aniketveer cleared his throat. 

"But he's trying na! I mean, abhi do movies kar chuka hai wo and I'm sure he'll surely get some big projects!" Aniketveer exclaims, a little unsure but he wants to take his nephew's side, so he does. 

Ruhaan chuckles, "two big flops right? Do I need to remind you I still have to pay 1.5 crore to Desai? Wo producer mere sar pe baitha hai kyunki meine Reyansh ko recommand kiya tha aur bande ne pit di movie, aur dusre toh tum hi ho jisko jo obviously bada dil wala mama hai toh mujh se paise nahi mangega aur mangega toh bhi main dunga nahi!" He emphasizes his words. Aniketveer again tried to defend but Vineet shuts him off. 

"Aniket, you don't have to take their side all the time. Hum unke dushman nahi hai parents hai and we know what's good for them. Jab ye shadi ko baat hhi aur humne mana kiya toh kitna bawal hua ghar mei, ye bache toh sar pe baithe hi teri behno ne bhi kuch kam kasar na chhori. Ana ko tph sach mei lagta hai hum apne liye shadi se mana kar rahe hai, maybe because we talk like that but the reality is how long can you sustain on your parents money? And you may not feel bad about it but once you are married your partner feels ashamed to ask for money from your parents all the time, she hates a man who cannot take her responsibility but claims to be good enough. And Reyansh and Ansh are not ready to take such big responsibilities. Iss Ansh ko roj subah apne socks nahi milte, college jata hai par roj uski maa ko usko pen dhundh ke dena padta hai aur uss bande mei fir bhi ye audacity hai ki wo mujhe se 15 crore maang raha hai business ke liye, like seriously, uss se apni roj ki chij nahi sambhali jaa rahi and he expects ki main usse itni badi amount de dun, huh!! I don't know how and what but I'm really not liking this drama!" Vineet avow, he finds his body temperature rising up instantly. 

"And the worst part is tumhari pyari behno ko lagta hai we should just trust the boys blindly kyunki yahi toh umar hai galti se seekhne ki! Par unko ye samajh nahi aata ki seekhne ke liye khud kuch karna padta hai, apne parents ka paisa luta ke kuch nahi hota but unfortunately hum ye keh nahi sakte kyunki fir ghar mei mahabharat ho jaayegi." Ruhaan added, totally disappointed. 

"Yaar wo jald hi kuch karenge dekhna. Abhi umar hi kya hai unki, yahi toh time hai seekhne ka!" Aniketveer still sticks by his sisters and nephew. 

"Aniket iske badh bhi tu unki side le raha hai na toh aab humein ye topic yahin drop kar dena chahiye." Ruhaan rolls his orbs and turns away while Aniketveer just sighs. 

A silence prevails for a moment which is broken by Vineet. 

"I wish Nitya turns out to be an evil Mami and Bhabhi jo inn sab ko apne ghar aane hi na de toh ye banda unhone support hi na kar paaye!" He professes. 

Aniketveer shook his head, "nahi nahi! Nitya aisa kabhi nahi karegi! She truly loves them!" He spoke it out proudly. 

Ruhaan raises his brows,"fir main bhagwan se dua karunga ki aab jo Reyansh ki shadi ho hi rahi hai toh he soon have a child taki iske badh tu baby na kar sakte otherwise log kya kahenge, kaisa tharki mama hai ye, bhanje ka bacha ho gaya fir bhi hawas na miti khudki, chii chii chii!" And he laughed at his own statement, joined by Vineet while this time Aniketveer rolled his eyes. 

While they were enrolled in their moment, Aanya came to them and informed them that the pheras are going to take place and their respective wives are calling them for the same. They nodded their heads and headed towards the mandap where their wives asked about their whereabouts which they somewhat ignored. 

As they shower the couple with flowers, Ruhaan could only think of the hardship on his boy's life post marriage, he might seem to be happy at the moment because he hasn't realized the responsibility the marriage will bring but the moment he'll realize, he would know what a blunder he has committed. Vineet too was in deep thought, he can't let Ansh get married this soon until he can at least earn his own expenses and for that he needs to do something really soon before it is too late. Aniketveer too was more than tensed, though he sided by his nephew and sisters but he knows the guys are pretty right, a girl never likes to ask for money from her in laws, it might be fine for a few days but in the long term it is not going to work out and he fears of the consequences it might lead them to. 

The men were tense while the wives could see that but chose to be quiet at the moment in fear of spoiling the moment. 

Soon, the marriage was all done in a happy knot and the newly couple were headed to their rooms after dinner, guests and other family members too headed to the room they were allotted soon after the dinner as it was a long tiring day and they needed rest. 

... 

Aniket and Nitya were in their room, Aniket was in deep thought, tension line clearly visible on his forehead which is very unusual, he never takes too much pressure of anything but today, it seems to be a tough day. 

"Kya hua Aniket? Tum itne tensetensed kyun lag rahe ho? Niche shadi mei bhi tum, Ruhaan aur Vineet kaafi tensed the jabki aaj toh khushi ka mahaul hai, kuch hua hai kya?" Nitya enquiries. 

Aniket let out a deep sigh, "nahi, I mean hua bhi hai aur nahi bhi! Ruhaan is worried about Reyansh and Vineet about Ansh. It's just main bhale hi apni behno ka ya dono bacchon ka jitna bhi saath dun par wo dono bhi galat nahi hai. Obviously it's not about the age but the maturity and sense of responsibility jo unn dono mei bilkul nahi hai. I know it will come with time par ye shadi, I don't know sahi hai ya nahi." Aniket word his emotions and confusion. 

Nitya takes her seat beside him on the bed and holds his hand,"Aniket, I understand par kuch chijein hamare haath mei nahi hoti, toh wo jaise hai unhe waise hi hone dena chahiye. And I know wo dono jald hi kuch acha karenge. Ansh ne apna business idea bataya mujhe, it's impressive aur mujhe lagta hai wo work karega toh yes, he's gonna find his way and Reyansh, I'm sure he'll soon find new projects. Aab sab aate hi successful nahi ho jaate hai." 

Her soothing words relieved his heart, oh, isn't she expert at it? She's the one who keeps him sane. He smiles lightly and nods, they surely need to go with the flow. 

... 

Raina, Anamika's sister, the youngest of all, gazes at Vineet who doesn't seem to be in a good mood. 

"Jij, mujhe laga aapko pata hoga sab." She spoke. 

"Toh tum confirm kar sakti thi na? Aise toh jij ya jij wo karti firti ho par jab itni badi baat hui toh bataya tak nahi mujhe. Tum jaanti hoo main kitna pareshan hoon, ye New York wali baat bhi meine pehle tumhe batai aur tumne Ansh ko convince kiya fir how can you not tell me what's cooking in my back?" Vineet seem disappointed as he trust the girl blindly, anything about the kids and he always come to her sharing things with her because she's more like of their age and can understand things better and also convince them so Vineet kind of rely on her but now that he got to know about Ansh girlfriend shifting to New York with him has disappointed him. 

"Jij, aap galat soch rahe ho. Main aapko batane hi wali thi par uss se pehle ye shadi ki baat ho gayi toh skip ho gaya mind se, mera koi intention nahi tha aapse chupane ka." Raina says convincingly. 

"I don't know if I can trust you anymore! I'm really disappointed with you Raina! I expected you to be honest with me but I think I ask for a little too much, it's okay, I have learned my lesson!" Vineet exclaims and takes his leave, Raina tried to stop him but he didn't give any second chance to her, he was too dismay to hear her out at the moment while Raina too felt guilty for hiding things from him when he trusted her blindly, loved her like his own child and ways stand by her. 

She stares at him as he walks to his room and bangs the door harshly. She waits for him for a moment hoping he will come back and talk but when he doesn't, she shuts her door and climbs onto her bed with a heavy heart. 

... 

Vineet enters his room, only to find Anamika already in bed, she seems exhausted. 

"Kya hua?" She asks, sitting up finding him in a bad mood. 

"Ana, do you trust me enough?" He questions. 

Anamika was taken back,"is everything alright? You seem upset?" She enquiries. 

"Just answer me Ana, do you trust me enough? Do you think the decision I made for us is good enough?" He repeated himself. 

Anamika gazes at him for a moment, he seems to be really dismayed over something. She leaves the bed and approaches him, he stares at her as he stands by him and holds his hand. Her eyes speak volumes but he knows she won't be able to express them, that's her weakness. Being an introvert, she finds it hard to express herself and most of the time ends up falling in trouble but he understands her even though she doesn't speak and right now, he can clearly see in her eyes the tension, questions, the emotion and confusion. 

"I trust you Vineet!" She exclaims and that's all she had to say. 

"I have made a decision Ana!" He told her, she nodded, waiting for him to disclose the decision. 

"Main Ansh ko London ke Business School mei bhejna chahta hoon after his second year of graduation." He discloses. 

Anamika took a moment to grasp the news, Vineet found her struggling with her thoughts. 

"It is for his good Ana! He wants to do business right? London is the best university for business, he will get to learn good business there!" He explains. 

Anamika clears her throat,"did he do something wrong?" She asks, finding the decision to be too tough when he knows she can't live without her kids. 

"Nahi, usne kuch nahi kiya hai. Meine kaha na ye uske bhale ke liye hai. Meine uss se baat ki hai and he's quite fine with it but I want you to know about it and tell me, are you okay with it?" He asks, cupping her face. 

Anamika gazes at him on the floor, "I.. I don't know! I mean, if he's fine with it toh thik hai. Usse koi problem nahi hai toh mujhe bhi koi problem nahi hi honi chahiye." She states, through her eyes speak something else. 

Vineet caresses her cheek, "he'll be happy and we can visit him whenever you want but for now, it is best for him and for all of us!" He said convincingly but Anamika wasn't satisfied, though she didn't object and this proved to be good for him this time, though he himself doesn't like it but he had to use this opportunity. 

Anamika shook her head and without a word moved to the bed, Vineet knows this isn't over yet, next morning is going to be tough, Anamika won't be able to keep this to herself and will surely share it with Ruhana who's going to take his class but it's okay, he has made up his mind and won't change it at any cost. 

.... 

Ruhaan was on the balcony, sipping his drink. His head was so heavy he felt it would blast any moment. He tried to convince himself that things are fine, Reyansh will succeed someday and till date he can take up all the responsibility the way he's doing till now but a part of his heart keeps on resisting it. It isn't as normal as it seems to be, bringing a girl to your place without a sense of responsibility, and earning. 

Ruhaan let out a sigh, it's when Ruhana enters the balcony. Finding him drinking clearly shows his state of mind. 

"Ruhaan, can't you be just happy about it instead of thinking about all that stuff?" She questions him. 

"I am happy! Mere bete ki shadi ho gayi iss se jyada khushi ki baat kya hogi? Bhale hi wo khud kuch nahi kar sakta, bhale ji har kaam ke liye usse apni maa pe depend hona padta hai, bhale hi wo akele kahin nahi jaa pata, bhale hi wo light jaate hai bachon ki tarah chillane lagta hai par aab toh shadi ho gayi uski, mature ho jaayega aaj hi. Main khush hoon iss baat sey!" He assented. 

"Ruhaan stop it!! Tum kyun ek hi baat ko baar baar dohra rahe ho? Meine kaha na sab thik ho jaayega fir kyun ussi baat ko baar baar keh rahe ho? Aur agar tumhe itni problem hai toh keep your money to yourself, main apne bete aur bahut ka kharch utha sakti hoon!" Ruhana scoffs, she's totally pissed off by his such words and ignorance towards the wedding. 

"Yeah yeah, karo! Tumhe lagta hai it is all about money or maybe I'm doing it for myself but Ruhana marks my word, jitna easy tum sabko ye lag raha hai utna hai nahi. Ho sakta hai main kuch jyada hi soch raha hoon but Ruhana iss shadi ke liye Reyansh ne college chor diya kya soch ke mujhe nahi pata. Aab Priyanshi (Reyansh wife) kya karna chahti uska mujhe koi idea nahi hai, I hope at least she uses her brain and completes her studies instead of wasting her time here and there. And yes, ye jhat se shadi kar ke tumhara beta sirf baki ke liye galat example set kar raha hai!" Ruhaan spoke angrily,  his voice gaining volume. 

"No, no, no! Wo koi galat example nahi set kar raha par tumne jarur Vineet ko dara diya hai aur iss liye aab wo Ansh ko bahar bhejna chahta tha Ana se dur ye jante hue wo bachon se dur nahi reh sakti par tumne usse dara hi itna dia hai ki aab usse kuch sujh nahi raha. Aur I know ki tum concern ho bachon ke future ko le ke par iss taraf karne se kuch sahi nahi hoga, you have to be patient and help him to set his career na ki usse ye yaad dilao ki he failed twice instead you should encourage him ki in spite of failure he hasn't lose hope and is trying to be happy and stable par tumhe fursat hi kahan hai. Tum bas apni zid pe ade ho aur kuch samajhna hi nahi chahte toh main bhi aab koshish nahi karungi kyunki mere bete ko uski khushi mil chuki hai and I know aaj nahi toh kal usse success bhi milegi." Ruhana shouted over him because he had refused to understand her point when she used the other way round and now she's in no mood to still convince him for something that is not wrong. 

Ruhana moved into the room leaving a thoughtful Ruhaan outside. He knew Ruhana would react this way only, after all a mother never sees any flaw in their child, for them their child is perfect which Ruhana too feels the same. And that he also knows that his son will get the success he deserves one or the other day and he just asked him to wait for that day and then marry the girl which he refused. Ruhaan sighs deeply and continues what he had been doing before his wife's entry. 

.. 

The night seemed longer than usual that night, none was able to sleep. Aniket was disturbed by Ruhaan and Vineet's words, Nitya by her husband's uneasiness. Anamika was worried for her son and was tossing on the bed while Vineet was helpless as he was not able to comfort her. Raina was disturbed because Vineet was disappointed with her and had lost trust in her. Ruhana was awakened because her son was about to start a new journey and her husband was not happy about it. Instead he's only thinking about the negative side of it while Ruhaan was disturbed with everything going around. 

Amidst the tense environment, Reyansh was taking a step forward in his life, with the promise to make it a success. 

The End..
