"Is there any chance to deny the whole matter? May I?" Panna asked in a rather casual way passing me the sewing machine. As if I asked him about my broken toys!

"No. You may not. In fact you have been pretty nicely discussed." I pressed my words. God, how difficult will it be to open him up.

"Then I would prefer to say, this is none of your business. Stick your pokey nose out of it."

I will pummel him someday. For sure!

"I don't understand Hira.." My husband started. I immediately gave him a hard stare to shut him up'; which of course didn't work. Well, all my life I have seen whenever ma gave such stares to papa, he always kept shut. Then why these stares don't work in my case?

"When being a brother, I don't have any problem. Then why are you objecting? It's not about my sister, or your brother. It's about two persons and their compatibility."

Uff! "I am getting late for my collage." Rhea mumbled trying to get away. This time, I held her hand. "Panna, if you want Hira, prove it. Prove it to her. I don't care what Rohit and other members say about it. But if it's a no from Rhea, it's a big NO. Get that straight." Rhea pressed my palm in thank you.

No baby. Don't worry. It's really not a 'my brother, my sister' thing. It's the 'practising my right' thing. It's high time. These men should know, they won't get everything they want.

"Hira, if her brother is fine by me, then why are you being a pain in ass!" My brother shrugged boringly.

"Listen up you both. Rhea will date, will see the guy she likes. Okay, being her well wisher we may suggest what is good, and what is bad for her. But, not a word more than that. Let alone forcing her to set up with a guy. I already suffered a lot cause you all forced me. None of you listened to me even once. You all assumed it was the best for me to tie me up with Rohit. Only I know what I was going through, what I suffered. I am not going to let Rhea face the same..." I went on in a flow. When, Panna's expression suddenly changed. "Hira." He pressed.

"You suffered cause of me." His tone stabbed right into my heart. Oh shit! Rohit, no. No. I didn't mean to say it. I mean not in this way.

"You suffered cause of me." He almost whispered this time stepping back. Rohit no. No, I say. He murmured again, and then, just left the room.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Rohit, holy hell! Open the door, god damn it."I banged the door for the fifth time. Oh god. What do I do now? My life is so full of drama. Just now I came to know about my brother's secret crush on my sister-in-law, and then she misunderstood me, and then came to know about how blind I have been all these years. And now, my husband has locked up himself. Wow. Simply wow.

In all movies and daily soaps, we see the wives getting angry; locking themselves up; the husband banging the door crying a sorry. But here, everything goes just the opposite!

Thank god, everyone is busy with their chores. But how long? Soon everyone will be here. Shit! Rohit, please. Okay, don't open the door, but atleast shout at me. Say something.

Silence.

I started losing myself. Hurt Rohit is terrifying. I remember when his dadu expired, he became a mess, had lost himself. Okay, okay, I am not comparing his dadu's death with our marriage. I just... I just.. I don't know what to say. Rhea got panic stricken. I won't lie, I got no better.

Once my ma-papa had an argument, and something had slipped my mom's tongue. Papa didn't speak to her for four days, and was having those same red eyes. Then one day, they locked up themselves in their bedroom for three long hours. And then mom came out all red. As a child, I thought they had fought more, but now it struck me suddenly! I gulped at the thought!

But those four days, papa was at least not locked up in a room, mom knew he was at least physically fine. But Rohit!

Finally the door clicked open. Rohit stood there, with blood red eyes and a running nose.

And in the next second I crushed him into my arms.
