"Guys, guys, it's bad news!!!" Rutvik gasped loudly as he entered Aviraaj's room where Aviraaj and Agastya were working on their laptops.

"Why are you bringing bad news early in the morning?" Aahan asked, coming in from the balcony, still in his nightwear.

(Note: Rutvik and Aahan are the sons of Ansh and Aarohi; Aahan is 17 years old, and Rutvik is 15.)

"What happened, Ru?" Aviraaj asked, turning his attention to Rutvik. Aviraaj was currently in his third year of college, learning business with his father.

"Mimi's in next-level angry mode and calling you downstairs!" Rutvik announced, and everyone's faces turned pale upon hearing that. Anvi's anger scared them all, especially with Ranvijay involved.

"Bhai, what have you done? Why is Mimi angry at you?" Aahan asked, horror written across his face. He still remembered the last time Anvi was angry at him and Rutvik. She made them wash the entire damn balcony of the mansion after much bargaining.

"I don't know, let's go find out why Mom's angry," Aviraaj shrugged, trying to calm the situation, but his nerves were on edge. He started heading downstairs.

*Downstairs*

"Jaan, tell me what happened. Why are you so angry?" Ranvijay asked, trailing behind Anvi as she stormed around the house. The other couples stood quietly in the background, unsure of what was going on.

"I don't want to talk to you. Just call your son downstairs, and then we'll see," Anvi said, glaring at him. After 23 years of marriage, Ranvijay was still terrified of her when she was angry.

"But jaan..." he started, but his words died in his throat as they heard footsteps approaching.

"Oh, look, the prince has arrived!" Anvi said sarcastically, causing Aviraaj to gulp as he entered the room, his mother's wrath clear in her eyes.

"Maa, you called me?" Aviraaj asked cautiously.

"Yes, I called you. Now tell me, what great thing did you do yesterday at college? Will you at least tell me about it?" she demanded, her hands resting on her hips while Agastya coughed loudly to hide his amusement.

"Beta, would you like some water? You're coughing so much," Shanvi asked in her sarcastic tone, making Agastya shake his head.

"I didn't do anything!" Aviraaj protested, trying to avoid meeting his mother's eyes.

"Oh, so your principal is lying when he called me this morning to tell me that you beat up a boy who ended up in the hospital? And this isn't the first time, right? He's lying about all this?" Anvi said, her voice dripping with disbelief.

Everyone was wondering why she was so angry. The thing is, from the very first day Aviraaj and Anvika were born, Anvi was adamant that she didn't want her children involved in fights and didn't want them to turn out like their father. However, she was unaware that her children had already strayed from her ideal path, especially Aviraaj, who at the age of 22 was involved in his father's mafia business.

"Mumma, he was harassing girls!" Aviraaj replied defensively.

"Then why didn't you just kill him directly? Why send him to the hospital?" Abhishek spoke up, but his words were cut off by a deadly glare from both his wife and sister-in-law.

"Yeah, exactly. Teach him this too. That boy harassed girls, and you beat up the boy. Fine, but what did you say to your principal? That Rathores don't apologize? Seriously, Aviraaj, he's your principal! How could you say something like that?" Anvi said, her disbelief making everyone chuckle.
