OXYGEN CYLINDER

“ Kahain ye ulta mujhse naaraz to nahi ho gaya” Ruhi said to herself. 

Ruhi descended below the bed, grabbing a towel as she directed her steps towards the bathroom.  

Just then, the bathroom door opened, and Aahan stepped out with a towel draped around him. 

He had just taken a shower, he approached Ruhi, greeting her with a hearty “Good morning, Biwi ji” and kissed her forehead. 

Ruhi retorted, “Don’t talk to me, Aahan.”  

“ Are baba, banwa lunga tattoo, ab choti si baat ko kab tak badhaogi” He said holding her in his arms. 

“ hmm..” Ruhi hummed . 

“ Now go get ready, we’re going out” Aahan said. 

Ruhi instantly separated herself from him and “ Aahan, how can we go out with the Babies.” She said. 

“ Relax, we’re not taking them” Aahan said tucking hair behind her ear. 

“ paagal ho? Baccho ko akela chor kr kaise jayenge” Ruhi asked. 

“ Biwi ji, have you forgotten that we live in a joint family” Aahan said. 

“ No but-“ Ruhi was saying but Aahan kept his hand over her mouth. 

“ I’ll go talk to mom , and you go and get ready “ Aahan turned her around and made her walk inside the bathroom and closed the door. 

He went inside the closet, and got dressed. When he went out of the closet, he heard someone knocking on the door. 

He opened the door and saw Anurag and Maanav standing outside. 

Anurag and Maanav entered his room unabashedly. Anurag said, “Who takes so long to open the door? I feel like I’m losing my life.” 

Aahan replied, “You’re talking as if the supply of oxygen comes from my room only.” Anurag retorted, “Yes, what else? You’ve installed two oxygen cylinders in your room.”  

“ Khabardaar jo mere baccho ko oxygen cylinder kha to, ye mere bacche hai, The Aahan Rajput ke.” Aahan asserted. 

“Hahaha, bol to aaise rha jaise inko apne garden ke ped se tod kar laaya hai. Mr. Aahan Rajput, they’re not only yours but also Ruhi’s children. Give her credit too,” Anurag sarcastically remarked. 

“Alright, enough of your banter, help me,” Aahan said, ignoring their remarks. 

“What kind of help?” Maanav asked. 

“Baccho ko maa ke kamre me lekr jaana hai.” Aahan said. 

“Any special reason?” Anurag inquired. 

“Yes, I’ll explain it later,” Aahan replied. 

After that, he handed Aarav to Anurag and took Ruhaani in his arms. Then, all three went to Aarti Ji’s room. 

In Aarti ji’s room. 

“ Maa, aaj ke liye bas. Aaj ka pura din mai Ruhi k saath akela bitana chahta hun.” Aahan said. 

“ Okay but why? You’re leaving kids to me. Is there something special “ Aarti ji asked. 

“ haan, maine bhi pucha tha. Anything special?” Anurag said. 

“ I’m going to tell her about our past” Aahan said. 

“ Really?” Three of them said together. 

“ Yeah” Aahan said. 

“ Where are you taking her bhai?” Maanav asked. 

“ I haven’t decided it yet.” Aahan said. 

“ Do one thing, kisi aache se restaurant pe le ja” Anurag said. 

“ No no, not restaurant, wahan kaise baat karenge dono, kitne log hote wahan” Maanav said. 

“ Then, beach side. Our private beach” Anurag said. 

“ Bad idea “ Aahan said. 

“ Aahan beta, meri baat sun, tu use pehle mandir lekr ja. Uske baad decide karlena kahan jaana hai” Aarti ji suggested. 

“ great idea mom. Thank you so much “ Aahan said, he hugged her mom and kissed Aarav’s and Ruhani’s forehead and left the room. 

He went to his room and saw that the bathroom door was still closed . 

He quickly went inside the closet.
