"Whatever." Raman shrugged. Pihu is just a kid! He does not need to worry about that, when he knows she loves him so much; she loves her parents. There are a lot of things he needed to work on; his impending remarriage, without which his relationship with Ishita is going to weaken; telling his kids about their decision to make things back to normal; sending Shagun off, to her brother's where she does not want to go at all. "This Shagun!" He could not understand her at all. Even when she knows he would never accept her or so-called love; Ishita being alive or not is not a question; she is pursuing him, as if it is a matter of time, he would change his choices and his abomination for her would turn into love. "Sick woman!" It was gruesome even to think of sharing his life with her.

After getting ready for office, he came out offering a drive to college for Aditya, while he found Pihu already left for school with her grandfather. "Haan papa. I'm coming!" Aditya shouted stuffing a sandwich in his mouth when Raman stood impatiently near the doorway. He threw his bag on his shoulder, muttering how he missed his mother's breakfast, much to Shagun's annoyance, and followed his father who was taking quick steps towards the parking lot. They found Ishita locking her car that made both of them halt. "Actually, I left Pihu at school and papa ji has gone with appa, for walking maybe..." She smiled lightly and Raman returned the same at her. Coming forward, she pecked Aditya's forehead; there was no play or sinful intentions but it was more than enough to leave Raman burning. "Good day, baba! I'll make special dinner for you huh." She smiled patting her son's cheek and sauntered past, leaving an uneasy Raman and delighted Aditya. She owes him at least a good morning if not promising a delicious dinner, after how she threw him out.

"You got to take your sister with you, Mihir. At any cost!" Raman said out of the blue when Mihir was busy talking business. He halted; "I had tried, bhai! Now what am I supposed to do? Well, moreover, I'm extremely happy in my life!" He was clueless and pleased with his solitude, away from Shagun. His sister never had listened to him. She had chosen staying with the Bhallas on her own and the situation was such that he thought it was a good idea until things come back to normal. No one cared to plunge about her reasons back then, because all they found was, she was a woman tender after her delivery, and they were indebted. She was taking advantage of it or maybe he is assuming her still the witchy one. He did not know what actually his sister is. "You know she won't talk to me calm or come with me just like that. I've tried and tired. She pisses me off. I think, we should stick to business, bhai." Mihir did not want to turn his mood off by this discussion.

"Wow!" Raman clapped his hands sarcastically. "Her own brother can't stand her and you expect me to deal with your sister!? She's damn getting on my nerves, Mihir! She's insulting Ishita constantly that I can't tolerate! You got to ask her to quit perturbing me by poking her nose in every sigh and breath I take!" He growled. Scratching his forehead, he looked away. He was calm when he dealt with Ishita but personally, he was as mad as she was. He so desperately wanted Shagun away from his life and Ishita back, with all her power over him; she still has but not the way he enjoyed. She was still aloof. "She's creating problems between me and your bhabi!" Raman shot a cold glare.

"Bhai, I didn't mean I'm dumbing her there and living happily. But, you know, Shagun won't come with me. Let me plan something." Mihir calmed a bit. Taking her with him was exasperating and he pitied Raman for tolerating her for seven years under the same roof. "You're going to trick your sister, Mihir?!" Raman rolled his eyes; a smile lingered in his teasing tone. "Frankly, yes." Mihir chuckled. Well, she does everything evil, never choosing the right or straight path. To deal with her, one needs to be crooked like her. "I hope she agrees..." Mihir was really up to save Raman now; he smiled meagerly. "Agree?" Raman huffed. "I'm sure, she's not going to give you a damn!" He swore making Mihir shook his head. Provoking? But he does not need a provocation to handle this; Mihir smiled at his disconcerted brother.
