"Kyu?" Anjali asked in shock when Mukul informed that he and Manvi have to go back home tomorrow.

"Haan. Bhai. Kyu? We just came here three days ago. We were supposed to go after a week. Mean, we will stay four more days here." Manvi said in shock

"I know Manvi. Actually, Maasi woh.. kuch important kaam agaya hai college ka. So, we need to go. Plus, mummy papa bhi bol rahe hai ajao. Woh hum sab.. Karela jane wale hai. Ghumne. So." He half lied to them.

"Oh! But.. phir bhi. College ka kaam yaha se nahi hosakta kya? Laptop pe?" Anjali asked

"Haan. Bhai. Kuch jugar karo naa ap. Mujhe maza aa raha hai yaha sab ke saath. Maasi, bhabi, Sidharth bhai. Please." Manvi requests

"Tere wajah se hi jaa raha hoon yaha se. Kamini." He thought.

"No. Maasi agar possible hota toh hum reh lete naa. Manvi, go and start packing your bags. Hum kaal shaam ko jaa rahe hai." Mukul instructs her

"Bhai, main reh jati hoon naa. Like, kaam apko hai toh ap jao. Main baad mein ajaungi. Akele. Mujhe bhabi ke saath time spend karna hai. We are good friends now. Please." Manvi forced with a puppy face.

"Iski toh." He frowned

"No. Tum yaha nahi rahogi. Mere saath chalogi tum." Mukul said firmly making her frown.

"Maasi." Manvi whined

"Mukul-" Anjali tried to convince him

"Nahi maasi. Don't force me. Actually, hum-e Kerela jana hai teen din baad. So, it will be little difficult for her. The back to back journey. Aur mummy papa bhi agree nahi karenge uska akele travel karna." Mukul explained

"You're coming with me, Manvi." He added looking at her

"Haan. Yeh bhi sahi hai. Sorry." Anjali apologised to Manvi, who had a grumpy face now.

"I hate you bhai." Manvi chided and went to her room with a frown face.

"Mukul, waise tickets?" Anjali asked

"Ap tension mat lijiye Maasi. Sidharth bhai ne kaha hai woh kar denge book." Mukul informed.

"Toh Sidharth ko pata hai yeh baat?" Anjali asked

"Ji, Maasi. Ap dono ke shopping se ane se pehle hi maine unko bola hai. So, he said he'll book the tickets for us." Mukul informed

"Accha. Main freshen up hoke dinner laga dungi. Chale ana niche adha ghante baad. Thik hai?" Anjali said

"Ji. Maasi." Mukul said and left for his room.

Anjali locked her bedroom door and went to get freshen up in bathroom.

***

"Bhab..." Manvi paused on her track after entering inside their bedroom, seeing them kissing like some wild animals.

Manvi quickly faced her back to them and closed her eyes in embarrassment.

Sidharth and Shehnaaz, both immediately stop and broke the kiss cursing her in mind for ruining their good moment and got separated quickly.

After giving him a back massage. Shehnaaz asked for a "reward" from him. The "kiss" was her reward which she (Manvi) ruined coming inside their bedroom like an intruder. Who didn't bother to knock on the door once.

"I-I haven't seen anything." It was Manvi who broke the awkward silence.

It was a white lie and they know it.

"You can look back." Sidharth said and she obliged.

"I haven't seen-" Manvi was cut off by Shehnaaz

"It's okay."

"Why are you here?" Sidharth asked holding Shehnaaz from her shoulder.

"I.. Umm.. I come here to inform we are leaving tomorrow. And.. I brought something for her." Manvi showed him a square gift box

"Oh! Come and give it to her." He said coolly when Shehnaaz kept mute.

They don't want her to know they know about her reality. Otherwise, she can act aggressive later. Plus, will get to know she and Mukul are leaving for home earlier because of them.

Manvi walked to Shehnaaz and was about to hold her hands to give the gift box but was stopped by a very protective Sidharth in middle.

"Manvi, give it to me." He asked for it forwarding his right hand.

Having no other choice she gave it to him.

"Open it." Manvi requests

He hummed and opened it.

"What is it?" Shehnaaz asked curiously

"It's a soft toy. A teddy bear. In pink." He informed giving her the teddy bear

"Wow! It's so soft." Shehnaaz gushed hugging the soft teddy bear. "Thank you Manvi."

"You welcome bhabi. I'm glad you liked it." Manvi beamed happily seeing her happy.

Sidharth noticed the spark in her eyes looking at Shehnaaz which mostly he had when he sees Shehnaaz happy or smiling. His blood boiled in anger but kept mum. But soon he noticed something else in her eyes and the smile. It was dark and mysterious. He followed her eyes and saw, she was looking at the dark eyes of the teddy bear.

"Why?" This question comes in his mind

But it didn't take much time for him to understand what's the matter when he look closely at the eyes of the teddy bear. One of them was a hidden camera.

"Fuck!" He grasped in mind, thinking how dangers this little girl is. Who is his cousin sister.

"Manvi, you should better go and change now. Phir dinner bhi toh karna hai." He said making her look at him

"Ji bhai." Manvi replied then look back at Shehnaaz once then at the teddy bear which Shehnaaz was squeezing in her arms, before leaving the room closing the door behind with a smrik.

"Give me this fucking teddy bear." He snatched the toy from her hand making her shocked

"Sidharth ji!" She grasped

"No need to gush over it. This one is ugly. I'll get a better one." He hurriedly got up from bed and walked towards the balcony to throw it away.

"Sidharth ji. Ap kaha jaa rahe ho? Mera teddy bear?" She frowned

"Phek dia usko. Gattar mein. Jaha jana woh deserve karta hai." He said making her shocked

"You! Seriously?" She grasped

"Yes. Seriously." He sits beside her again

"Why?" She asked in shock

"I hated it. It's ugly. That's it." He said simply hiding the real reason.

He don't want her to scared her from Manvi.

"Are you jealous?" She asked teasingly

"If this thought make you happy then yes. I'm jealous." He said before attacking on her poor lips again.

***

"What the fuck! Why can't I see anything? Why it's dark?" Manvi thought in confusion seeing the black screen in her phone.

"Those idiots cheated me. There's no camera. They fooled me. My pocket money went in vain." She frowned and turned off the app screen in anger and throws her phone on bed in anger.

"Manvi!! Dinner!!" Mukul called her, knocking on door

"Coming bhai. Ap jao." She replied

"Okay. Come fast." Saying he left

"Kutta! Kamina! Fuck!" She cursed the mans in anger looking at her phone from whom she brought the teddy bear with hidden camera.

With a grumpy face she went down to have dinner.

"I'll want to sit beside bhabi." She requests Sidharth

"Sorry. I have to feed her. You go and sit with Mukul." Sidharth said acting normal but in mind he already killed her hundred times.

"I can feed her. Maasi..." Manvi said looking at Anjali for help, pissing him more.

Where Mukul was shooting dagger at her and Shehnaaz was sweating badly, holding Sidharth's arm tightly not ready to leave him and asking him not to give up silently.

"Sidharth, let her.." Anjali tried to support her

"No. Only I'll feed my wife. No one else. I didn't give this right to anyone to feed her." Sidharth said the last line looking at Manvi

"Sidharth.. yeh kaise baat kar raha hai tu? Bacchi hai woh. Bas apne bhabi se attached hui hai. Let her be." Anjali said sternly

"Still my answer is no. Thank you." He said before grabbing his chair and started to feed Shehnaaz quietly.

Having no choice Manvi sits beside Mukul opposite Shehnaaz with a sad face. It was a six seated rectangle table. Sidharth and Shehnaaz on one side. Mukul and Manvi on opposite side of them and Anjali was sitting on head chair.

"I can't believe you Sidharth. You're acting like a stubborn child here. Shehnaaz is not a baby Sidharth that you have to babysit her all the time. She is a grown up woman. She can take care of herself. Moreover, we are family. Including, Mukul and Manvi. They're like brother and sister to her. The way they are to you. What's wrong in it if she wants to feed her. A little? I don't see any harm in it?" Anjali said angrily noticing Manvi's grumpy face

"Mom!" He huffed in irritation

"They will go back to their home tomorrow. What's the harm if she wants to spend time with her. Sorry, with you wife? You acted like as if she is nothing to me. Or us. To them." She continued her warth

"I don't wanna talk to you. Nor them." He got up from chair and pulled Shehnaaz up too

"Khana kon khayega?" Anjali asked angrily as he started to leave with Shehnaaz leaving their almost full plate behind.

"Yaha nahi khana. Main aur meri wife hamare room mein khayenge. PEACEFULLY." He said

"Sidharth ji.." Shehnaaz tried to stop him here.

"Shut up! Bijli didi, hamara plate room mein leke aao ap." He ordered and left for bedroom with Shehnaaz

"Sidharth ji.. please. Mummy ji.." Shehnaaz tried to stop him again, knowing well her mother-in-law must be hurt now.

"Shehnaaz jao uske saath baccha. Uska dimag kharab hogaya hai." Anjali said noticing her pleading face

"Fuck!" Mukul inwardly cursed his sister in anger knowing well why Sidharth reacted like this.

On other side...

"Sidharth ji.. mummy ji.. woh hurt hongi. Apko aise baat nahi karni chahiye thi unse." Shehnaaz cried in guilt blaming herself for everything, once they reached their bedroom.

"Stop it Sana." He roared in anger, she flinched in fear.

"Will you stop crying now?" He locking the door behind after he received their dinner plates from Bijli.

"Ap dant rahe ho kabse. Apko pata hai naa mujhe daar lagta hai apse jab ap gussa karte ho. Upar se ap mummy ji se waise baat kia. Mere wajah se. Mujhe guilty feel horaha hai abhi. Iss liye bhi roh rahi hoon." She said in between her sob.

"Shehnaaz.." He sits beside her on couch and took a deep breath to control his anger seeing her sobbing in silence. 

"Ap bohot rude the mummy ji ke saath. Aur mere saath bhi ho." She cried.

Ignoring her words, he took her plate to feed her with spoon.

"Muh kholo apna." He said holding the spoon filled with food near her mouth.

She thinned her lips in response making him more angry seeing her unnecessary tantrums. He is already pissed off because of office work then Manvi matter now this. His mother and wife.

"Shehnaaz open your fucking mouth and eat it. Quietly. Like a good girl. Or else, I know many other ways how to make you eat." He said calmly, but it was deadly.

She opened her mouth silently out of fear and he shoved the spoon into her mouth, she took the food and started to chew slowly not to make him more angry.

"Baby, I really didn't wanted to shout at you. I'm pissed. A lot. Office work load for new project. Then this at home. Manvi's craziness. Your safety. Now Mom on dinner table. I'm fucked up." He said in exhausted tone.

"Do you know that t.. nothing. Have it." He feed her another spoon.

She felt bad for him and wanted to comfort him. So quickly eat the food then moved close to him and holds his hand.

"I'm sorry. I should have understand your situation as well. Then crying like a baby here. But.. I.. feel scared of you when you get angry a lot. Otherwise, I love you." She said

"I know. I love you too." He kissed her top and again feed her a spoonful of rice and veg curry.

"Let's have dinner then... Mom ko sorry bolne bhi jana hai. Aur tum chal rahi ho mere saath. I don't wanna leave you here. Alone." He said

"Okay. Ap bhi khao." She said

"Yeah."

***

"Tu yaha? Aur saath mein apne patni ko bhi laya hai?" Anjali taunted seeing Sidharth with Shehnaaz coming inside her room.

"Mom. Please. I'm sorry for behaving like this." He apologised feeling guilty

"Yeh tera har baar ka horaha hai Sidharth. Tu badtameezi karta hai mere saath. Mujhe hurt karta hai. Phir sorry Mom bolta hai. Yeh acchi baat hai koi? Tu toh pehle aisa nahi tha?" Anjali's words made Shehnaaz guilty somewhere that he has changed because of her now

Sidharth sensed that and squeezed her hand softly to assure her it's not because of her. It's the situation that made him to things he never did before. Marriage.

"Mom please! Don't drag her into it. It's all me. And the situation that made me do it. I'm sorry. Again." He said

"I'm not dragging her. But unfortunately she is involved into it. You have changed after your marriage. I have no problem with her. And you know how much I love her and care for her." Anjali was cut off

"But you're still blaming her. Indirectly. For my odd behaviour. And I won't accept it. Mom." His voice become stern again

"Sidharth!" Anjali looked at him in shock

"Sidharth ji.. please.." Shehnaaz requests to keep him cool.

"I'm cool Shehnaaz. Chill." He assured

"Mom! We need to talk. It's important." Saying he made Shehnaaz sit beside his mother and went to lock the door behind.

"Sidharth tu bohot galat kar kaha hai. I'm telling you. Just because you love you wife. Doesn't mean you can behave rudely with me. Or my family. Manvi and Mukul." Anjali seethed in anger

"Mummy ji.. I'm sorry." Shehnaaz apologised feeling guilty, crying.

"Don't cry." Both mother-son duo said in unison.

"Mom.. Let me tell you what your dear family did with my wife. Or tried to do with my wife." Both felt sarcasm in his tone.

"Sidharth ji..." Shehnaaz requests

"Kya?" Anjali said sternly

"Mom.. Manvi.."

Then he told her everything about Manvi, including the teddy bear thing and why he behaved like that on dinner table. Everything. Leaving both the ladies in deep shock.

"What? Teddy bear? Sidharth ji, apne kyu nahi bola?" Shehnaaz asked

"I didn't wanted to terrifie you. But for mom I needed to say it." He replied

"I can't believe. Manvi?" Anjali grasped. "Woh bacchi hai Sidharth? Aise kaise woh..?"

"I know mom. Even I was shocked. But you don't know aaj kaal ke bacche. They're very fast. They can do anything. But I'm still confused how she got the hidden camera teddy bear? Ap the uske saath when she brought it?" He asked seething.

"Nahi. Main nahi thi. Main kapde kharid rahi thi. Tab usne bola usko kuch chahiye. Kuch kharidna hai apne liye. Personal. Toh niche jana hai. Jo dusre floor pe hai. Maine bola main ati hoon saath mein but usne mana kar dia. I let her go. Pass gayi thi naa iss liye." Anjali explained.

"Mom ap log konse shopping mall gaye the?" He asked

"Mall? Hum mall nahi gaye the. Market gaye the. Usko street food khana tha, toh usne bola yahi market se kharid lo jo chahiye. Sasta milega mall se." Anjali's words made them shocked

"Apne abhi bola dusre floor pe?" He asked in confusion

"Waha pe ek doh male ka building tha. Saree ka shop. I brought saree for me, Shehnaaz and your Meenu maasi. Tab woh niche gayi. Kaha mujhe nahi pata. Woh 40min. baad wapas aie thi." Anjali explained.

"God!" He groaned in irritation

"Relax!" Both the ladies said in unison.

"She is dangerous." He chided.

"Hmm!" Anjali agreed. "I still can't believe."

"Me too. Mummy ji sorry. Sidharth ji ne mere wajah se apse..."

"Shehnaaz!!" Both the mother-son duo chided on her.

"Okay." She made a zip gesture making them smile.

"Go and sleep now. I'm feeling sleepy." Anjali yawned in end which she covered with hand.

"Yeah. Good night mom." He kissed her temple softly making her smile. "I'm sorry mom."

"It's okay Sidharth." Anjali kissed his temple lovingly. "Good night. Both of you. Leave."

"Come." Sidharth took Shehnaaz back to their room crossing the stairs.

"Bhabi!!! Bhai!!"

Both stopped on their track just outside their bedroom door listening Manvi's voice.

"Manvi jo bhi baat karna hai subhe karna. We are tired. Even you must be tired. Doing the shopping. Good night." Shehnaaz said

"But mujhe important..."

"You heard her Manvi. We are tired. I'm very tired. Good night. Let's go baby." Saying Sidharth took her inside and locked the door behind.

"Fuck! Mujhe baat karni thi dono ke saath." Manvi chided and went back towards her room.

"Ap! Yaha?"

Reaching her bedroom she saw Mukul was sitting on her bed with cross arms and angry look.
