The guests had there feast at the sake of Anupamaa's health who gave two of her internals without studying and with high fever. Vanraj didn't scold her or anything but was just borderline protective. He would cover her in sheets and lower the fan if he found her trembling in fever but he wouldn't bother to check how Leela behaved with her. Even though Leela got scolded by Moti Baa for being insensitive to Anupamaa's condition, it was obvious that those words didn't penetrate her rhino skin.

Arunimaa had healed quite for the better, she wouldn't want her kids to be upset over her condition.
Manik suggested they should go to meet Manini and this way they both could just feel better. He drove her but there was no conversation in the car. This was the maximum silence that could be possible in a moving car. He didn't try to talk and she was just happy to see him occassionally through the corner of her eyes.
Car halted and she rang the bell to Manini's home. Quite to the shock of the both, Vikram opened the door and Arunimaa had to face him. Manini emerged from behind and her face told she wasn't happy to have Vikram in her home. Her eyes were red and Arunimaa guessed it's because Vikram had taunted her or something but his stare on her own self made Arunimaa more uncomfortable.
Manik joined soon after parking the car and stood by his wife.
"Aruna...", Manik spoke softly.
"Arunima... Kaisi ho....??.", Vikram commented.
Manini tried to stop Vikram again but Manik gestured her to stop.
"Kya soch rahi? Yahi ki seedhe bhabhiji se naam pe kaise?? Come on, ab itne CLOSE to hum log ho hi chuke hain... Right!?", he remarked.
Arunimaa clenched her fist and felt Manik's touch on her shoulders. The next moment she felt energised enough to slap him so hard he tripped and fell on floor.
"How dare you touch me!!", Arunimaa asked.
"Ek coffee ka itna gussa!! Not good..."
"Tumhare jaisa ghatiya baap hai na isiliye tumhara beta bhi aisa hi hai!"
He got up angrily and approached to grab her but Manik stepped in between and pushed him back to floor.
"Stay away from my wife....!!"
"Ye to aapko apni wife ko mere saath coffee pe bhejne ke pehle sochna chahiye tha...!!", he chuckled. "Khud hi close bhej ke khud hi away rehne ki baat karte hain!!"
Arunimaa felt sorry her husband had to hear it all because she was adamant on meeting Vikram.
Manik clenched his fist but didn't react much. Vikram wiped the blood off the corner of his lips and laughed at him. "Ab tak to sab bata hi diya hoga na AAPKI WIFE ne aapko... Khoon bahut thanda hai aapka... Gussa nahi aata aapko? Aapki biwi mere saath t-"
Manik patted Vikram's collars. "You just wait and watch!".
"Abhi bhi sirf wait hi karenge aap!? Aapki jagah koi aur pati hota to pata nahi ab tak kya kar jaata... Kaise pati hain aap!", he mocked again.
"Thoda intezaar karo Vikram... Vo bhi pata chal jaayega... Aur rahi baat gusse ki....... To gusse me tumhe do thappad maar ke to AB mera gussa kam hone se raha...", Manik gritted his teeth and Vikram jerked his collars.
"Whatever!!", he rode away.
The three stared at each other for a while.
"Mani...", Arunimaa touched his shoulder and he hugged her. "I am sorry... And I love you....!"
"Manini??", he called and she ran to hug him tight too.
"Mani....", she said meekly as if hurt.
"K..ya hua tumhe!?", he asked.
