Rajat was in a dilemma, he didn't know the truth would be out like this and his wife would react this way. In the last month, he has gotten to know her and her nature. She doesn't want a struggling life, she doesn't want to compromise and she wants to be rich and lead a luxurious life. Unfortunately he can't afford to give her what she desires, though he's trying hard to meet all her expenses. Cutting off his needs and desires, he's trying to fulfill her minor wishes. But it seems, she's not satisfied.

He cast a look at her, she seems irked and furious.

''Sony please, tum aise kyun react kar rahi ho? Meine pehle bhi tumhare pita ji se kaha tha ye ghar puri tarah mera nahi hai.'' Rajat tries to explain.

Sony shot him a glare,''puri tarah nahi hai aur nahi hi hai mei fark hota hai Rajat. Ye ghar aapka hai hi nahi kissi aur ka hai aur aap yahan rent pe reh rahe hai. Aapne ye baat pehle kyun nahi batai mujhe ya mere papa ko? Mujhe samajh nahi aata iss ghar mei chal kya raha hai? Bas do rooms hai usmei bhi thik se furniture nahi, tv hai par din bhar dekh nahi sakte kyunki bill jyada aayega. Fridge aur washing machine toh hai hi nahi toh uski baat bhi kya karu? Light chali jaye toh mombatti le ke ghoomo, inverter tak nahi hai. CID mei senior inspector hai par uss service jeep ke alawa koi gadi nahi hai aapke pass. Rajat hai kya aapke pass?? Aapne ye sab kyun chupaya hum se??" Sony shouted, she blurted out her discomfort that she had been hiding in her heart but today, when she got to know the house is rented, she couldn't hold on to her anger.

Rajat was petrified for moments, he didn't know she would behave this way for materialistic things and won't care for the hard work he's doing for her. Also, he never lied to them, he was clear enough to her father but she's accusing him and he can't take it. He won't take any accusation of cheating on himself at any cost.

''Meine kabhi kuch nahi chupaya kissi se, tumhare pita se sab bata diya tha meine pehle hi aur agar jo unhone tumhe kuch nahi bataya toh ye meri galti nahi hai par meine kabhi kissi ke saath koi baimaani nahi ki hai na karunga. Rahi baat iss ghar ki toh ye mera hi hai, mere pita ka ghar hai ye. Haan, apni behen ki madad karne ke liye meine isse bech diya kyunki mere pass paise nahi the ye ghar hi tha aur uski madad karne ke liye meine usse bech diya aur mujhe uska koi afsos nahi hai, meri behen khush hai aur mere liye yahi kaafi hai!!" He exclaims in a firm tone, he doesn't want to soften at the moment or beg her to believe him because he knows it won't matter to her. Had she been concerned about it, she would have asked him gently why he sold the house instead of accusing him.

''Kissi ki madad karne ke liye kaun apna ghar bechta hai?'' She questions him and he's not surprised at her question at all.

''Wo kissi nahi meri behen hai aur ye ghar uska bhi utna hi hai jitna mera. Hamare pass apne mata pita ki nishani bas yahi ghar hai aur jab aaye toh hum ussi ka sahara le sakte hai.'' He states now least interested to even tell her anything.

''Haan aur khud road pe aa gaye!! Chalo aap ne madad kar di par wo kyun na lauta rage paise? Unhe nahi pata ye ghar bik gaya hai? Oh haan, unhe kya fark padega wo toh khush hai apne ghar mei daan ki murat toh aapko hi banna tha na. Dekha apni behen ko aap ne, hamari shadi mei diamond set pehen ke aai thi, wo set iss ghar ke bikne se aaya hai par unke kya, wo aish karne mei busy hai aur hum ek ek pai jor rahe hai do waqt ke aaram ke liye bhi!! Huhh!!'' Sony said in a sarcastic, hatred tone.

''Sony!!" Rajat shouted her name. First time in their one month of marriage he shouted over her.

''Kya Sony?? Main sach hi keh rahi hoon. Agar unhe chinta hoti toh wo paise lauta dete aapko taki aap ye ghar kharid lo par unhone aisa nahi kiya kyunki unhe aap se matlab hi nahi hai, swarthi hai wo log!!" She shouted, accusing his sister.

Rajat had enough,''bas karo!! Wo nahi tum swarthi ho jo paise ke liye iss kadar niche gir rahi hi. Main apni choti behen se kaise paise mang sakta hoon?? Wo bhi wo paise jo meine uski madad ke liye diye. Aur ho diamond set ki tum baat kar rahi ho na wo diamond nahi bazaar mei bikne wale set hai jo muskil se 500 tak mei aate honge aur fir bhi tumhari nazar uss pe hi hai. You know what Sony, i'm done with it now. Main jitni bhi koshish kar lun tumhe kadar nahi hai. Tumhare liye bas paise aur luxurious chijein matter karti hai, main toh hoon bhi nahi uss list mei, right!! Fir raho tum akele iss ghar mei, main hi chala jata hoon kahin tab shayad tumhe shanti milegi!!" Rajat yelled at the top of his voice and left the house. Their neighbors gathered in a fraction of minute hearing his loud roar as they had never seen him even raising his voice but today he had shouted out loud and left the house in anger.

But Sony didn't bother to stop him, she was angry and thought he would be back once his anger is demise but she won't stoop low to him at any cost.

...

Time passed, it's midnight and Rajat didn't return. A fear engulfed her heart when he didn't respond to her calls nor her messages. She fears if he takes some wrong steps, yes he can. She had said way too much, accusing not just him but his sister too whom he loves more than anything.

Sony again tried his cell, this time he received it but his reply astonished her such that she couldn't say anything for moments.
