"kya huva Shivaay?" Asked On worried
"Kuch nai Om" He said trying to calm down
"Pinky ,what did you do again?" Tej asked tired
"Mainey kya kiya?...MAINEY KYA KIYA? SHIVAAY KI HAAR GUSSEY KA VAJAH MAI NAHI HU JEAT JI" Pinky shouted as tears filled her eyes
"Lagtha toh aisa hai ki inn dino mai Shivaay key hi nahi sabk key gussey ki vajah tum hi Pinky" He replied as calm as nothing happened
"HA...MERI GALTI HAI, MAI AAPNEY BACHEY AUR PARIVAAR KO KHUSH DEKHNA CHATHI HU..WOHI HAI MERI GALTHI" Pinky said
"Pinky, calm down" Jhanvi said trying to calm her down
"Kaisey calms down Jhetani ji, iss ghar mai subko maihi dikthi hu" Pinky replied toning her voice down and wiping her tears
"Shivaay leykin huva kya hai?" Asked Shakthi
"Kuch nai Shakthi, Pinky...Shivaay ki shaadi key barey mai baat karahi thi" Dadi said
"Pinky, what is wrong with you?" Asked Tej
"What wrongs? Mein sirf Shivaay ko khush rakhna chathi hu" Pinky argued back
"Mom aapko yeh kyu lagtha hai ki mai Shaadi sey khush rahunga?" Shivaay questioned
"Mom aap seeda seeda yeh kyu nahi khethi ki apko nayeh kapdey aur jewellery kharid ney ki bahana chaiye...but please baar baar meri Shaadi ki bahana maat banaiyeh" Shivaay said even though he was not shouting his words cut deep
"Can't you see, he needs time" Tej added
"Aur Kitni Times?" She asked
"Vuss Manhusiyat-"
"ANIKA" Shivaay said
"Anika naam hai vuska" Shivaay said
"Manhusiyat nahi" Shivaay added before storming off to his room
Leaving the remaining speechless
"Way to ruin a day, Pinky" Tej said before leaving
Followed by Shakthi, who didn't say anything but his disappointed look spoke every word it needs to be said
"Give him some time, Pinky" Jhanvi said and left
"Koyi times, nai jethani ji, aab toh meri Shivaay shaadi karwakey hi manugi" Pinky said to herself but clearly audible to the remaining in the room
She glared at Shivanya one last time before storming off to her room
"Kya jarurat thi, shaadi ki baat karney ki" Rudra said to Om
"Aur Shivaay ki dil dhukaney ki" Om said in a low voice, looking at Rudra then Shivanya and Gauri
He looked at them as if he understood something before going to check on Shivaay followed by Rudra
Shivanya and Gauri waited until Om and Ru left
Once they were out of the sight, they both literally ran to dadi
"Plan A is completed dadi, good job" Shivanya said
"Billu ko dard deyney ki jarurat thi?" Asked Dadi making Shivanya's smile drop
"Ha.." she replied looking down
"Tumey pata hai na tum kya karahi ho?" She asked
"Pata hai dadi...subkuch theek hojayeh ga..trust me" Shivanya said hugging her
"Iss liyeh toh sath dey rahi hu" Dadi said
"Abb challo jaldhi patao ki plan-B kya hai?" Gauri added
"Plan-B nai didi, yeh toh Plan-A (2) hai" Shivanya said placing her arms on both Dadi and Gauri
"But relax soldiers, Plan-A (2) key liyeh abhi time hai"
"Time hai?" Asked Gauri
"Ha, we have to wait until night"
"Magar kyu?"
"You'll see"
*At Shivaay's room*
Shivaay locked his room from the inside
Both Om and Rudra were standing out debating wheather to knock or not
"Hamey hi toh Bhaiya key sath deyna hai" Rudra whispered to Om before going to knock
Om just nodded to that statement
Just before Rudra can knock the doors opened
"Aap dono?" Asked Shivaay
"Bhaiya..woh" Rudra said a little shocked
"Come in" he said going in followed by OmRu
Shivaay calmly sat in his bed and started to flip through his files
"Shivaay tu theek hai?" Asked Om
"Ha..mujey kya huva hai?" Shivaay questioned back looking at him
"Kuch nai Bhai" Rudra said sitting beside him
"Choti maa" Om started to say
"Mom toh kuch na kuch kehthi rehthi hai" Shivaay said looking back to his files
"Magar tu theek hai na?" Asked Om again
"Ha" he replied
The room fell into silence, except the paper flipping sound
Om and Rudra were sharing a look while Shivaay was deeply immersed in the file
"Bhaiya" Rudra called
"Aapko nai lagtha bohat din hogai hai sirf hum theeno ek sath time spend karkar?" Rudra added
"Ha, it had been a long time" Shivaay said
"Toh aaj hojayeh?" Rudra asked extending his hand and looking back and forth between Shivaay and Om
"Mujey koyi kaam nahi hai" Shivaay said placing his hand in Rudra's while looking and Om
"Come on Om" Rudra said
Om smiled at his brothers before walking up to them and adding his hand too
"Yes...finally, mein jakey snacks leykey atha hu, aap loog meyrey bagair kuch maat karna" Said Rudra and left
After Rudra brought his snacks
They started to talk about random things
"Pata hai aapka Bhai, Bengali ladkiyon mein bada famous hai" Rudra said proudly
"Bengali? Kaisey?" Shivaay asked
"Kaal mainey ek nahi doh Bengali ladkiyon sey miley aur dono ney mujey baar baar arey baar baar kheytey rahey" he said with a foolish smile
"Kya kheytey rahey?" Asked Om
"Hot" He replied
"Hot?" Asked both Shivaay and Om
"Ha..Hot, ek baar nahi theen theen baar..aab toh mano gey ki mai Hot hu" Rudra said
Making both Shivaay and Om laugh out loud
"Aap hass kyu rahey ho?" He asked confused
"Wait...tumey kaisey pata tha woh Bengali hai" Shivaay asked
"Vunki kapdon sey..obvi, itna bhi dumb nahi hai aapka Bhai" he said
"Toh duffer tujey Bengali costumes pata mai magar yeh nahi pata ki Bengali mai "Hato" ko "Hot" Katey hai" Om explained
"Kya?" Rudra asked shocked
"Ha" said both Shivaay and Om
"Oh...tabhi mai sochu ki woh dono itni irritate hokey kyu gai jab ki mai baat karaha tha" he made a pout to which both of them patted his shoulder
"Waisey acha hi huva asali mai hot nahi kaha kyuki agar Bhavya ko pata chalgaya toh vunka kya hota" asked Shivaay
"Toh kya hota?" Questioned Rudra
This made Shivaay and Om exchange looks
"Bhavya ko gussa ayeyga..?" Said Om confused
"Bhavya ko gussa kyu ayeh ga?"
"Right, mai bhool gaya" said Shivaay
"Kya?"
"Ki tum Duffer ho" replied both
This Rudra frowned and made a sad face
"Waisey Om, tumarey aur Gauri key beech kya chall raha hai?" This question made Om drop his smile
"Kuch nai...kyu?" He asked
"Bass...aisey hi. You know Gauri, really loves you, right?" Shivaay asked
To which Om nodded and said "I know"
"Waisey...aapko kaisey pata Hato ko Hindi mai Hot kehtey hai?" Rudra said
This made ShiOm laugh again
