"Aap Shantivan wapis kab jaa rahe hai?"("When are you going back to Shantivan?")

Arnav, who was fixing his tie in the mirror turned towards her, "What? Come again?"

Khushi took hold of his steel grey suit jacket that he was hurriedly taking out of hanger to wear to the office. He was running late.

"Hum puch rahe hain, aap Shantivan wapis kab jaa rahe hai? Dekhiye, aap humare saath apna time waste kar rahe hain. Humara mann nahi badalne wala. Hum nahi chahte aap yahan aur rahe. Aap apne ghar wapis chale jaiye, Aarav ki parvarish aap wahan reh kar bhi kar sakte hain. Aap roz to use lekar hi jaate hain wahan. To aap apne ghar par hi kyun nahi rehte, sabke saath? They all need you. Itne chakkar lagane padhte hain aapko. Humara kamra bhi aadha ghera hua hai aapne...", Arnav was first shocked but he started to get angry by the end. ("I m asking, when are you going back to Shantivan? You are wasting your time with me. I wont change my decision. Look, I dont want you living here anymore. You should go back to your home. You can take care of Aarav from there too. Otherwise also, you do take him to RM almost daily. Then why dont you shift back to your home, to your family? They all need you. You have occupied so much space in my room."). Arnav glared at her.

" Vaise to hum khud akele bhi Aarav ki dekhbhal kar sakte hain..."("I can raise him alone too...")

He snatched his coat back, patience was gone for toss, "Tumne akele paida kiya hai? Tumhare akele ka hai vo? Mera koi role nahi hai? I m his father dammit!! Main kyun door rahun usse? Infact main kyun door rahun tumse? Apni patni se? Aur jahan tak ghar ki baat hai, ye bhi mera gha..."("You brought him in this world all alone? He is yours alone? I had no role in it? I m his father dammit!!! Why should I stay away from him? Infact why should I stay away from you, from my wife? And this is my home too...")

"Haan. Hum jaante hai aap makaa..."("Yeah! I know you are the landlor.."). Khushi thought, now he will show his true colors, blackmail her about this house.

"No Khushi! You don't know any bloody thing! Whether you like it or not but you are my legally wedded wife. You are bound by law to allow me to live with you. Yeah! Even at your parental-home. It is your duty to take care of my expenses. A spouse has to maintain the other. Tum chaho bhi to bhi mujhe apne ghar ne nahi nikal sakti. Samjhi tum!" He buttoned up the coat and gave her a pointed look.("You cant throw me out of your house. No matter how much you want to do it, Got it?")

" Aur mujhse door rehne ke sapne dekhna band kar do! Instead of planning schemes to throw me out, better focus on your work. Your school starts from next week. Prepare yourself for, 'Good Morning Ma'am' chorus.", He mimicked her students, basically mocking her. He then took his laptop bag from the study table to leave the room. Not interested in arguing with her anymore. ("Stop dreaming about staying away from me. Instead of planning schemes to throw me out, better focus on your work. Your school starts from tomorrow. Prepare yourself for, 'Good Morning Ma'am' chorus!")

Khushi blocked his path to give back a scathing reply, "You Raksha..." but Arnav not giving her a chance to speak, managed to shoulder her out of his way. "Obstinate woman! Samjhti kya hai...",("What does she think of herself") he was murmuring. Hearing it, Khushi became more angry. Her hands itched to slap him left and right. She was fuming at his audacity. The pot was calling kettle black! He was one disgusting piece of  and yet was behaving like the aggrieved party. If she replied that it was duty of husband to care for a wife's needs then she will fall right into his trap i.e., accepting that they are married. She wanted him out of her house one way or other. Atleast he should get out of her room. But what the hell is maintenance and all? She had heard for the first time today about maintenance of man by a woman. Ye kaunsa law hai? Khushi was left all confused.
