TRIO - FOR LIFE!!

Part - 5

Birla House...

Abhimanyu and Neil sat on couch in the living room. Neil was nervous. He didn't want his bhai misunderstanding him. 

Abhimanyu calmly - Ye sab kaise hua Neil? Sign karne se pehle ek baar mujhse discuss kar sakta tha na? Kuch Protocols hote hai na, Neil?

Neil was about to speak when Aarohi spoke from behind - Ab sab kuch tumse kehke hi karna chahiye kya Abhimanyu?

Aarohi walked to them - Tum available nahi the, Abhimanyu. Tho Neil ne decision le liye tho problem kya hai?

Abhimanyu and Neil got up. They didn't know they had audience. Abhimanyu palmed his face. This would go somewhere else now. Patience Abhimanyu. Patience. Your anger does no good to you. Patience. Abhimanyu had to remind himself. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes only to find his wife. He relaxed instantly. He looked around. All the family members had come. Great. 

Manjari frantically - Kya hua hai Aarohi? Tum aise chillayi kyu?

Abhimanyu didn't want his mother taking stress. She went though a critical surgery recently. She had been in comah. She is just recovering. Abhimanyu - Kuch bhi nahi hai, Maa. 

Neil also kept his mouth shut. He also didn't want his mother taking stress. 

But Aarohi being Aarohi talked - Bahut kuch hai, Maa.

Neil caught Aarohi's hand in caution and warning - Aarohi!!

Aarohi shrugged him off - Nahi Neil. Maa ko bhi pata honi chahiye ki unka bada beta kya keh raha tha tumse?

Neil - Kya bole jaa rahi ho Aarohi? Bhai ne abhi tak kuch kaha hi nahi hai!!

Aarohi looked at Abhimanyu - Agar Neil ne decision le liya tho problem kya hai Abhimanyu? 

Abhimanyu had enough - Ye do bhai ke beech ki baat hai Dr. Aarohi. Stay out of it.

Aarohi - Ab tumara bhai sirf tumara bhai nahi hai Abhimanyu. Mera pati bhi hai. Tho mai beech mein bolungi.

Anand got irritated - Koi mujhe batayega ki ho kya raha hai?

Neil sighed and told everything. Aarohi spoke before Anand could even talk anything. Some manners the girl had. Aarohi - Haa tho problem kya hai?

Abhimanyu - Problem Problem Problem...... Problem ye hai Dr. Aarohi ki humare hospital ke kuch rules aur protocols hote hai jinhe hum tod nahi sakte hai. 

Aarohi - Tum available nahi the Abhimanyu.

Abhimanyu took a deep breathe - Mai available nahi tha tho thoda wait karlete ya...

Aarohi cut Abhimanyu in between not even letting him finish the sentence - Neil bhi hospital ka administrator hai Abhimanyu. Yaa MD ke permission ke bina vo koi decision le hi nahi sakta?

Neil - Will you please stay quiet Aarohi!!!

Aarohi flinched but didn't back off - Nahi Neil. Kab tak chalega aise? Kab tak tum Abhimanyu ke har baat sunte rahoge? Har baar Abhimanyu ke paas jana padega kya decision lene ke liye? Ya phir, ye sage hai tho sare hak iske hai. Aur hume humesha 2nd grade citizen ki tarah treat karenge is ghar mein?

Neil had enough. He spoke in a dangerously low voice - Bas karo Aarohi

Aarohi - Neil..

Neil shook his head - Enough Aarohi.

Aarohi - Nahi Neil...

Neil yelled - I said enough Aarohi!!

Aarohi stepped back and shut her mouth. Her husband somehow managed to scare her.
