"Yaha ane ka aur ek reason tha.. Tumhari wife se milna tha.. Bahar kisi sabha me toh use leke aate nai tum.. Socha ghar me hi mil loon.. " Aarushi said.
"Haan.. Milata hoon tumhe.. " Amit said. "Devaki..? " He called her.
Devaki came there.
"Meet her.. Aarushi Adhikari.. Meri collegue hai.. Aur Mahila morcha ki leader hai.. " Amit introduced her.
Devaki smiled looking towards her.
"Hi Devaki.. Bahot man tha tumse milne ka.. " Aarushi said.
"Mujhe bhi hui aapse mil ke.. " Devaki said.
"Aap kya. ? Main tumse chhoti hoon phir bhi tumhe aap nai bulaya.. Aur phir tum kyu formality nibhati ho.. Amit ki wife ho matlab mere liye mere Vahini jaisi ho.. Hai na Amit..? " Aarushi said.
"Of course.. " Amit smiled.
Aarushi examined Devaki. Overall she was looking happy. The smile on her face was natural. She was enthusiastic & was personally greeting everyone. Aarushi felt guilty for doubting Amit.
"Devaki.. " Nilima called her.
"Ahh.. Aai mujhe bula rahi hai.. U feel comfortable ok.. " Devaki said.
"Are.. I am ok.. Tum jao.. " Aarushi said.
Devaki went. Sumedh came there.
"Ise wo Sharbat lake do.. " Amit told.
Sumedh made a face.
"Kisiko agar pina hai toh wo khud jake piye.. " He said.
Aarushi rolled her eyes.
"Amit.. Kya hai na.. Kuch log hote hai aise jinse hame expect hi nai karna chahiye ki wo decent aur Gentlman ki tarah behave kare.. Main jake khud pi loongi.. " Aarushi said.
"Ofc jao.. Tum koi abala naari toh ho nai.. Jo tum kisi mard ka sath chahiye hai.. Wo bhi sharbat lane ke liye.. Come on.. Go ahead.. Feminism jindabad.. " He said.
"Yaha feminism ki baat kaha aayi..? " Aarushi started arguing.
Sumedh was about to give answer when Amit caught his arm.
"Jane do na.. Jhgda mat karo.. " Amit said.
"Aaj subah se bahot bak bak kar rahi ho tum.. Abhi aas pas bahot se mehmaan hai warnaa.. " He gritted his teeth.
"Sumedh.. " Amit shouted.
"Warna kya..? Kya kar loge..? " Aarushi asked.
"Sumedh.. Bahot hua.. Andar jao tum.. " Amit raised his voice a little.
"Par dada.. " Sumedh tried to say.
"Par var nai.. Andar jao abhi.. Yaha koi scene nai chahiye.. " Amit said.
Sumedh gave a look to her & went from there in anger.
"Aarushi.. Shant ho jao.. Main tumhe sharbat lake deta hoon.. " He said.
"Nai.. Main khud pi loongi.. " She said in anger.
Devaki came there with a glass of sharbat.
"Lo.. Piyo.. " She gave it to Aarushi.
Aarushi took it & started drinking. She drank whole glass in one go. Amit widened his mouth & looked towards Devaki.
"Main aur ek glass lata hoon.. " Saying this he left.
