Meet Mamma

Raizada Mansion, New Delhi

7.30 pm

"Don't you dare hung up the call" Anjali said angrily, "You ought to tell me the reason!"

"What reason?" Arhan asked bored.

"Why did you break up with me?" she demanded.

"Aww Ms. Princess Raizada can't take rejection? So sweet" he cooed.

"Arhan!" she cried.

"I loved you Anjali" Arhan said, his tone turning serious, "I really loved you. Keyword: LOVED. But you're not the woman I thought you are"

"Is this about yesterday? I told you why Khushi ji left and...."

"No. It's not about that. It's because you didn't tell me the complete truth!" Arhan hissed in anger.

"What truth?" Anjali whispered.

"The real reason why Khushi left Arnav" Arhan said, "Why Anjali? Did you tell me the real reason why she left?"

"How....how do you know?" Anjali whispered.

He hung up without an answer.

"Bhai" Payal called as she walked into Arnav's room. Ayaan was crawling on Arnav's bed while Arnav sat on the bed leaning on the headboard watching him.

"Yes Payal" Arnav looked up.

"Who is this guy Arhan Harshid, for whom di is bawling her eyes out?" she asked.

Arnav shrugged and Payal said, "I'm getting frustrated. Everywhere inside this house you'll hear discussions about Anjali and Arhan! Please find an end to this!"

"What should I do?" Arnav cried.

"Go get that guy, whoever he is, and ask him to officially break up with that limp woman!" Payal said irritated, "I need a peaceful life here!"

Arnav chuckled and said, "I met him today at restaurant!"

"Arhan?"

Arnav nodded and said, "Such a rude person!"

"You didn't ask him why he broke up with her?"

"Why should I? It's their problem. He might have recognized me as her brother and that's why he was rude!" Arnav said thoughtfully. His mind flew to the baby girl, Hiya. Her innocent face and smile unknowingly crafted a smile on his face.

"Why are you smiling?" Payal frowned.

"Ah nothing!" Arnav said jerking from his thoughts.

"Did you take your medicines?" Payal asked.

"Umm...yeah" he muttered.

"Don't lie" she said sharply.

"I did!" he tried.

"Liar!" she said angrily, "YOU DIDN'T TAKE YOUR MEDICINES! YOUR SUGAR LEVEL WILL GO DOWN MAN. WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND A SIMPLE THING? YOU JUST NEED TO TAKE THAT TABLET IN YOUR HAND AND THEN TRANSFER IT TO YOUR MOUTH AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER. NO PHYSICAL EFFORT AT ALL. YOU CAN'T EVEN DO SUCH A SIMPLE TASK? HOW CARELESS CAN YOU BE BHAI?"

"AKASH!" Arnav screamed at the top of his voice and Akash came running in.

"Take your wife and GET OUT!" Arnav shouted.
