"Bahut tadpaya hai na Bhai ne mujhe aur Abhi ko. Ab uski baari"

Did she just say that!?

I just don't believe this.

'Gaur se dekhiye is chehre ko. Yahi hai wo zalim behen jo apne hi bhai ke dard par khush horahi hai. Jis bhai ne apni behen ki khushi keliye apna sab kuch daav pe laga diya, aaj wahi behen us bhai ke zakhm par has rahi hai. Ek berehem, nirdayi aur swarthi behen ko karenge benaqab aaj rath 9:30 baje sirf Ishita Iyer...oops...Bhalla News channel par...EK THI BEHEN'

I could do a good job revealing the true colours of this mean sister!

How mean of you Simmi!

I never expected this from you!

"Oye Ishita! Tu kya baar baar mute hojati hai? Duniya ka 8van ajooba dekh liya kya?"

"8van ajooba dekhti to shayad itna hairan nahi hothi jitna tumhein dekh kar hoon. Mujhe yaqeen nahi ho raha ke tum wahi behen ho jispe Raman jaan chidakte hain. Main maanti hun ke Raman ne tumhe Abhi se door rakha. Lekin unhone jo bhi kiya tumhara bhala soch kar kiya. Aur tum yahan unhi ki takleef pe khush ho rahi ho? Unbelievable!" I spitted out furiously

"Ooo...Pathi ki waqalat and all haan? Abhi se?" she winked

"Tum ko abhi bhi mazaq soojh raha hai? I am serious" I showed my disgust

"Agar tu serious hai to sun le" she said pointing a finger towards me in a warning tone "I am not at all serious about torturing my brother" she smiled at that and held my hands saying "Mai itni buri nahi hoon jitna tu soch rahi hai. Mai apne bhai se bahut pyar karti hun warna mai Abhi se itne waqt tak door kyun rehti? Mai chahti to bhai ko zabardasti manwa sakti thi lekin agarwo khush nahi hothe to mai kaise khush reh pathi" I could see tears brimming in her eyes

I felt sorry for doubting her

"I am very sorry. Maine kuch aur hi samjha. Please mujhe maaf kar do"

"It's alright" she said with a genuine smile

"Thanks Simmi...Simmi Di...tu...sorry...tum...sorry...aap..." I fumbled as I was not sure how to address her.

"Ummm" she said slapping her forehead
"Tujhe waqayi me help ki zarurat hai" with one hand on hip and other pointing towards me she cleared her stand
"Ek bath abhi clear kar dethi hun. Tu umar me mujhse choti hai par rishte me badi hai. But mere se ye formality-wormality nahi nibhte. To mai tujhe naam se hi bulaungi aur tu bhi mujhe naam se hi bulayegi. Deal?" she said extending her hand for a shake

My heart felt at peace for having such an understanding sister-in-law.

I shook her hand saying "Deal!"

Before I came to this house, I was apprehensive about living a life without my sisters who were always around me but right at this moment when I shook her hand I was glad I had found their substitute.

Henceforth she is not my sister-in-law but sister-in-deed!

(Author's Note: This part is dedicated to my only sister-in-law who has always stood by me and acted as my sister in every manner. Although I know she is never going to read this I want to admit that I am glad to have her in my life)

"Ab ek deal meri bhi hojaye?" I asked

"Kaisi deal?" she asked curiously

"I want to make up for last night. Meri madad karogi?" I asked expectantly
