Aren’t they all supposed to know about me… that’s  what I was told na… Ruhi was also very confused with Dadaji’s question.

Aahan held her hand “ She is Ruhi Dadaji, she’s my wife” he said. Ruhi looked at their intertwined fingers and then his face. He looked confident.

“ What is this boy saying Aarti” Dadaji looked at Aarti ji.

“ Papaji, actually ---”  “ Daduuu” Anurag said entering in the living room. He touched his feet and hugged Dadaji. After his meetup with Dadaji, he looked at everyone’s  face. He could feel the raising heat and tension in the atmosphere .

Anurag looked at Aahan and found him looking at Dadaji. He looked at Maanav and asked with a gesture about the situation on which Maanav signalled towards Ruhi. Anurag looked at Aahan and then Dadaji. They were staring at each other and he knew that it was time to use his drama skills.

He kept his head in Dadaji’ s shoulder and started crying loudly. Everyone looked at him with astonishment. “ Dadaji, my life is fully spoiled. I don’t  wanna live. I’ll  die soon dadu.. save your grandson dadu. I know you love me more than Aahan. Please do something “ He said while crying. Everyone except Ruhi and Dadaji understood that he is acting.

“ What happened my son? Don’t  cry and tell me what happened “ Dadaji said.

“ Dadu, you remember I sent you picture of my wife to be” he said.

“ yes. How can I forget that. It was Ruhi” Dadaji said at looked at Ruhi. His expressions were cold.

“ Dadu, on the day wedding, our brides got switched and now Aahan is married to Ruhi. I told him to divorce but he’s  not listening to me. You tell me, How am I gonna live without the love of my life. “ Anurag said.

Aahan looked at Ruhi who was looking at Anurag with wide open eyes. She was definitely shocked with his confession. Aahan pressed her hand and whispered in her ear “ He’s  acting “.

Ruhi looked at Aahan and then Anurag, who was wiping his fake tears. She literally wanted to praise his acting skills.

“ Beta ji, ab jo Bhi Hona tha wo to Ho gya. Aaise nayi nayi shaddi hui Hai or divorce ki baatein Aachi Nahi lagti. Jo Hua use bhul Jao or aage badho” Dadaji said caressing his head.

“ But Dadaji” Anurag said.

“ No but, spend time with Raavi  and get to know her” He said and then he looked at Aahan ,who was still holding Ruhi’s  hand.

“ Ab to apni biwi ka haat chor de, I’m not gonna outcast her” he said.

“ No dadu, ek baar pakad liya ab to agle 7 Kya… 70 janamo Tak Bhi Nahi chorne Wala” Aahan said looking at Ruhi. Everyone laughed at his remark. Ruhi was shy so she started looking here and there to avoid eye contact with anyone.

“ Oh god Chicku bhai, you are so funny sometimes  “ Maanav said and suddenly everybody was silent and looking at Maanav with different expressions . Aahan and Aarti ji were giving him a dangerous look and it was moment when he knew he was dead. “ I’m  so sorry, “ he said and ran outside . He was gone .

“ Come on , let’s have breakfast “ Aarti ji said normalising the heated atmosphere. Everyone left for the dining table except for Aahan and Ruhi, who were still standing in the same position. Ruhi was staring at the blank. She turned towards Aahan and said “ You, You are Chicku?”

Flashback starts

A 5 years old girl and a 10 year old boy were playing together . She was giggling and running with the boy, following to catch her.“ Rooh, please Don’t run, you will fall down” The boy said. “ Mujhe pakad Ke dikhao Chicku” the small girl said. “ Abhi batata Hun tum he” the boy said and ran faster and caught her. “Pakad liya” he said and both of them started laughing. “ Ab aise hi pakde rehna, Kabhi chor na mat” the small Girl said. “ Kabhi Nahi chorunga “ the boy said. “ Promise” the small girl said pointing her little finger. The boy tangled his Little finger with Her’s  and said “ Pinky promise “

Flashback ends

Aahan jolted out of his sleep ” What—what happened “ He looked around and then looked at Ruhi who was glaring at him .

“ What biwi ji, why are you shouting?” Aahan said in his sleepy voice.

“ What are you doing here in bed?” She said.

“ Sleeping “ he said casually.

“ Why? I mean why are you sleeping in bed” she questioned.

Aahan raised his left eyebrow “ Then where should I be sleeping?” Ruhi pointed towards the couch.

“ Mrs. Ruhi Aahan Rajput, don’t  forget that this is Ourrrr room and Ourrrr bed  and You are My wife, so I have every  single right to sleep here with you in this bed” he said .

“ UGH.. I can’t  debate over this nonsense anymore.. either You are moving to the couch or I am leaving this room” She said with frustration .

“ You can leave this room” he smirked. Ruhi immediately got down from the bed and left the room.

“ Neela Didi, please clean the guest room for me” She said entering the kitchen.

Neela“ But madam”

“What but??? No but wet, clean the guest room and move my stuffs there” she said.

“ sorry madam, but I can’t  do that” she said.

“ huh… why?? Leave, I don’t  wanna know the reason. I’ll  do it myself “ Ruhi said and was about to leave when Neela stopped her. “ Madam madam, you can’t  do it” she said.

“ I’m  doing it “ Ruhi said and moved towards the guest room.

There were 3 rooms in the ground floor and 4 rooms in the first floor including their bedroom. Ruhi went to the guest room . She tried to open it but the door was locked . She moved to the other rooms but all the doors were locked. “ Aghhh” She groaned in frustration and went to the living room.

Neela” madam”. Ruhi looked at her. “ All the rooms are locked and Aarti madam locked them when she visited last time, I tried to tell you but you didn’t  listen” She said . Ruhi looked at her “ Ok, you can go” she said.

Ruhi sat there for sometimes then she got up, stumped her feet and walked towards the bedroom.
