Aryan and Meera entered a night club. Meera looked around and was surely not pleased with her surroundings. However, she followed Aryan to a group of people, who were Aryan's business associates. Aryan got engrossed in talking to them, forgetting his wife who accompanied him. 

Half an hour into that place and Meera was already suffocated. She had her eyes only on her husband who had forgotten not only his wife but also that he was married. He was busy flirting with the girl, she did not know. Not able to take it anymore, she rushed towards him.

"What the hell, Aryan? Your wife is here and you are busy flirting?" she questioned him. He looked at her and replied, "She is an important client. And by the way, don't play that wife card on me. I was forced into this wedding by your father." 

Tears escaped his eyes as Aryan remembered this incident. He felt guilty for his past behaviour. He wanted to apologize till he was forgiven. He turned and realized that his brother-in-law was staring at him. 

"What?" Aryan asked angrily. Both of them were on the same bed, thinking about the same person. Rajat shook his head and then asked, "You love her a lot, don't you?" "None of your business."

Next Morning

Rajat opened his eyes and looked around. He could not recognize his surrounding but then remembered the previous day's happenings. He looked around the room again but there was no sign of Aryan. Leaving the bed, he went to the washroom. Finally not being able to find Aryan, he moved out of the room.

Kitchen

Rajat entered only to find Aryan cooking. "What the hell Aryan? You are supposed to be resting," he shouted. Aryan looked at him and then resumed his work. "I am cooking for my wife," he said. Rajat shook his head. "Move aside. I will cook," he said. Aryan pushed him. "She is my wife. I will cook," he shouted. Rajat too raised his voice, "She is my sister. I will cook." "I will cook." "No, I will cook." They continued fighting.

Their loud voices brought Meera, Sapna and Sara to the kitchen. Seeing the two grown-ups fighting like kids, Sara began to giggle. Aryan and Rajat looked towards the new sound and noticed their wives staring at them. They looked away embarrassed. 

Meera moved forward and pushed both the men away from the kitchen counter and started cooking. "Meera.....," both the men said at the same time. She looked at them and continued cooking. "I will cook, Meera," once again both the men said. Aryan glared at Rajat. 

"I can see how good you both were cooking. Shut up and stand silently," Meera glared at them. She continued her task and at the same time went in scolding them, "A child is there in the house. And these both are quarreling like kids. No sense at all. They did not even see the time? It's seven in the morning. And these grown up idiots are shouting at the top of their voices. No sense....."

Aryan tried interrupting but she hit his hand with the spatula. "Get out of my kitchen. Right now!" 

Living Room

The two men, Sapna and Sara came to the living room. "What happened, Aryan?" asked Sapna, looking at his tear-filled eyes. Aryan looked at her and said, "I tried a lot. I have been trying since so many days but I could not succeed. But see today, she finally reacted. She talked to us. Finally...."
