Reem helped Avu and washed her face.

Reem: Aese nhi rote. Aur papa tujhse na bohot pyaar karte hai. I am sure wo kuch bhi karke sab sort kar denge. Waise bhi wo tujhse dukhi nhi dekh sakte

Avu nodded.

Reem: Chal ab smile karke dikha achhi si

Avu gave her a small smile and Reem pulled her in a hug.

Reem: Ye hui na baat

She held her hand and took her out. Jai was standing outside.

Jai: Abhi theek hai?

Avu: Hmm

Jai: Dekh tu iss sab tension nhi le. Iss baare me mein aur papa dekh lenge kya karna hai. Ma ko kaise manana hai. Tu bass na apne interviews par dhyaan de. Wo achhe se kar. Teri achhi si job lag jayegi I am sure

Avu: Okk bhayia

Jai: Chal jaa abhi rest karle. Aur zyada stress nhi lena

Avu: Okk

Jai: Reem iski help kar dena yrr

Avu: Mein bachi nhi hu bhai. I am fine. Aap log meri chinta nhi karo

Jai: Okk okk fine

Avu went in her room.

Reem: Mein dinner ki tyaari kar loo. Thodi der mein khaane ka time ho jayega

Jai: Hnn okk

Reem went in kitchen leaving Jai alone in his thoughts. Although he consoled Avu but he was also worried how to convince his mom. He was the one who motivated her to confess his feelings for Sid. He was the one who always assured her that everything would be alright. And now neither could he let his words down nor see his only sister like this. He had to make sure his mother agrees at any cost.

Jai: Mom please maan jaoo. Kisi aur ke lie nhi to hamari Muski ki khushi ke lie. Wo to hum sab ki itni ladli hai na. We never let a single tear in her eyes ever. To ab kyu?

He sighed. The rest of the day passed like this. No one was really happy. All were quite. No one was talking to each other. Sonia also didn't say anything since the topic of Avu's marriage started.

Next morning

At Nigam's home

Vaish got up and got ready. She went in kitchen and saw breakfast was not prepared.

Vaish: Yrr itna bhi kya gussa ki breakfast bhi nhi banaya. Agar nhi banana to mujhe pehle bataya to hota. Mein late ho jaaoongi yrr office se

She decided to make sandwiches as that would be done quickly. Sid came to get water.

Sid: Ma kaha hai bhabhi? Aap to late ho jaoge breakfast banane lage to

Vaish: Pata nhi kaha hai. But breakfast ready nhi hai to banana to padega

Sid sighed.

Sid: Sorry bhabhi

Vaish: Ab tu kyu maafi maang raha hai?

She said chopping some vegetables for sandwiches.

Sid: Mom meri wajah se aesa behave kar rahi hai aur aap sab pareshaan ho rahe ho

Vaish's knife stopped and she looked up from plate. She turned around and looked at him.

Vaish: Kya faaltu ki baatein sochta hai tu hnn? Sab ka laadla hai tu iss ghar mein. Teri wajah se iss ghar mein kisi ko na koi problem hai na ho sakti hai. Dobara aesi waisi koi baat ki na to chamat kheech kar maaroongi ek

Sid smiled and held his ears and mouthed a sorry.

Sid: Okk meri chhoti maa. Ab se aesa kuch nhi karoonga

Vaish: Better

She said in a cold tone.

Sid: Achha ab maa to hamare lie khaana banayegi nhi. Aapka office bhi hai. To mein bana deta hu

Vaish: Teri bhi to interview hai. Late ho jayega tu. Ready hoja. Ye mein kar loongi. Aur waise bhi mere hote hue agar tu khaana banayega to meri class lag jayegi mummy jii se. Itni kaam chor bahu hai. Uske hote hue mere bete ko khaana banana pad raha hai. To tu rehn de. Late hona better hai saas ke taane sunne se

Sid chuckled.

Sid: Achha help to kar hi sakta hu. Mom ki bhi kar hi dete hai thodi bohot to. Aur aap tension nhi lo. Mere paas time hai

Vaish: Okk if you insist. To aaja

They both prepared breakfast pulling each other's leg. Finally Sid was feeling better after previous day's incident. Vaish packed tiffins for Abhi, Ram and herself. They served the breakfast on table. Everyone came and had it quitely.
