Rude, arrogant, ruthless, orthodox, narrow minded these are his qualities only.... hmm only good quality I have listened about him is, that he is devoted to his family, but unfortunately brother of my bhab Sheetal and more unfortunately fiancé of my lovely sister Riyu".

"And most unfortunate thing is I just collided with him and met him for the first time like this and now I am thinking about how to murder him and escape conveniently, he is that much irritating, he is 'eeehhh', but he is saying something about me, let's listen".

Sameer was in shocked listening to the beautiful fearless girl in short revealing clothes standing in front of him is Neeli about whom he has heard about too much till now "Riya is she your sister? Who was in London?" Sameer asked in surprise.

"Yes, bhai she is Neeli from London, just today she came back" Instead of Riya Sheetal replied hurriedly.

Sameer look towards Sheetal and something strike in his mind -"Sheetal what are you doing here without jiju?" The one who falls on his look surely dislike his narrow-minded thoughts, he asked from his out of his orthodox nature.

Meera also dislike his thoughts, frowns listening him "She is doing shopping with me and Riyu her sister in laws with due permission of her husband, mother in law, father in law, grandparents in laws any problem?" She replied being fret.

"Shhh Neeli please keep quiet" Riya holds Neeli's hand tightly.

“Hush, why would I keep quiet, ask him to shut his mouth, huuh Fastidious i***t" Neeli jerks her hand in front of him.

"Oh, shut up, I am not talking to you" Sameer said indignantly.

Sheetal -"Bhai, what are you talking?"

Neeli is also not like listen someone’s harsh words silently, she replied with same attitude -"So what, you are talking to my bhab not your sister and now she is daughter in law of Sahay family not daughter of Bajaj family any more got it?, well isi baat pe ek sher arz hai (well a poetry on this)”

Sheetal and Riya both hit therefore head with palm but Neeli continued “Itna pretty face hai mera aur eyes badi badi (2), aab bhab sirf aapki behen nahi woh hai hamari bhabhi ('I have prettiest face and big blue eyes, (2) Sheetal is no more your sister but my brother's wife') She said her poetry with attitude and twitched her nose.

Sameer mumbles "Is she mad?".

"Hello miss short dress" Sameer called her in insulting way.

“Bhai" Sheetal tried to interrupt but he shows his hand to stop her.

"I don't need advice from anyone what I should do or not, specially a girl like you who doesn't have any Shame wearing a dress like this" He said in a very rude and merciless way again pointed towards her clothing didn’t think a once before insulting a girl who is her soon to be relative.

Neeli’s face becomes total red in anger she was about to reply harshly but before that Riya dragged her towards exit door.

"Riyu leave me, let me show this Fastidious i***t properly what this Neeli is, how can he talk about me like that?, I am not going to leave him" Neeli said while wiggling in her grip and tried to take out her hand from Riya's grip but Riya didn’t leave her.

"Neeli please leave all this, please for me please" Riya said in pleading tone and Neeli become calm.

Neeli nod seeing her pleading and left with her silently but burning in anger and thinking "One day I will surely take revenge from you Mr. Fastidious i***t".

"Bhai you did really wrong" Sheetal said to Sameer in disappoint.

"You don't need to tell me anything and more over you should not roam like this without your husband, now go home fast" The handsome Sameer who was already fuming burst his anger on his siter she went from there silently behind Neeli and Riya.

Trio left towards Sahay Mansion but Neeli was still fuming in anger and thinking that she will not leave that arrogant rouge anyhow.

They reached Sahay Mansion, Neeli got down from car and moved inside fast, but Sheetal hold her shoulder "Neeli I am really very sorry on behalf of my brother".

"It's ok bhab, you don't need to be sorry" Neeli said politely but in actually her fragile heart was really sour by Sameer’s harsh words, she went from there without turning back after comforting her sister in law who not at all at fault still apologizing for someone else mistake.

Riya and Sheetal too entered behind her with shopping bags in hand when Neeli spoke -" Riyu I am going to my room, please ask every one not to disturb me and inform babe that we are back".

"Neeli come here dear I want to talk to you" She was about to step on stairs but before that Mohini called her from behind and Neeli’s face hung down.

Neeli mumbles “Not again”.

"Mother India please I am not in mood for anything, I am very tired" She replied in tedious mood.

"Neeli you are becoming stubborn day by day, I said come here right now" Mohini said angrily and Neeli followed silently.

Riya sense that situation can be worse between them that’s why went towards Mohini kept shopping bags on couch and spoke politely "Ma please let her go for now, she is in bad mood, talk to her later".

"Riyu you please be aside she always do like this only; I have to talk to her today itself" Mohini said stubbornly.

"Yes, tell me mother India" Neeli asked with frown in tardiness mood.

Mohini sat on a couch and made her sit beside her "Neeli please listen to me carefully, see now your sister is already engaged and going to get married soon" Mohini started her favorite topic.

"Yes, I know poor her, but what can I do in this?" Neeli replied while making faces like getting boredom.

“Neeli now it's your time" Mohini said.

"My time for what?" Neeli’s witty brain getting alarm of the most irritating topic for her that’s why asked with frown.

"You too should think about marriage" Mohini said sharply seeing her careless attitude.

"Marriage and me are opposite poles, Mother India this word is not meant for me, what should I think about it?" Neeli said while laughing, trying to shoo away this word from her life.

"I mean to say you too should select one good man and get married soon" Mohini said and looking towards her for her reaction.

Neeli’s face reddened while controlling her anger "You all very well know about my reply regarding this matter".

"But what is your problem? We all want your happiness; I want to see you happy forever" Mohini also can’t hold her irritation anymore.

"Don't worry mother India I am very happy and if you stop popping this topic again and again, I will be happier" Neeli replied in a taunting way being so irritate.

"Neeli you can't live all your life alone; you have to get married someday" Mohini said sternly.

"No, I don't have to and I can live my whole life alone, I don't need any jerk by my side just to control me and my life like a robot" Neeli couldn’t control her anymore and her deep-sea blue eyes were like spitting fire.

Riya and Sheetal were watching heated argument with worried expression, Riya was trying to interrupt again and again but Mohini stopped her every time.

“Neeli stop being stubborn, I said you have to get married that too with the guy we have selected for you, he is Sameer's younger brother Ronak, he is a very good guy, perfect for you" Mohini said like ordering to her but that was it for her.

Neeli’s beautiful white face become red in indignant, she stood up with jet speed and started throwing their shopping bags angrily which were kept on couch "Thousands of times I have told you all, I don’t want to get married, I don't want to get married, I don't want to get married” Riya and Sheetal tried to stop her but she jerk them and showed her index finger to Mohini in trembling.

“If you keep repeating the same thing again and again I will leave this house permanently, I will go back to London and will never come back here, actually it's a good idea I should leave from here right now then you will be happy" She said all this very angrily grabbed her purse and went out with big steps.

Sheetal started calling Rohit and Riya ran behind her while screaming he name but she was fast enough from her reach "Neeli wait, Neeli, Neeli, ma please stop her" Riya shouts loud but till then she took car keys forcefully from driver and drove off.

"Ma what have you done; I was saying don't touch her now" Riya said in concern for her sister.

Mohini who was standing dumfounded by her aggressive reaction which she didn’t imagine, she regained her composure by listening Riya "But Riyu I didn't think she will react like this".

"What to do now?” Riya was thinking in tension when suddenly she came up with an idea “Yes, Grand ma, where is grand ma only she can stop her".

"She just had her medicine and sleeping in its effect" Mohini replied.

"I have to wake her up right now" Riya said and was about to go towards her room when Sheetal stopped her.

"Riya wait I have already informed Rohit and he is coming back home with grandpa and papa ji" Sheetal don’t want to disturb Grandma.

"Still Bhabhi, it’s about Neeli I have to inform her otherwise she will get angry" Riya replied went to wake up Grand ma.

After some time

Grandpa, Shakti and Rohit back to home and saw all ladies are sitting with worried expression, but Grand ma with anger filled eyes and Riya was calling Neeli again and again but she was not picking any call.

"Riyu any luck?” Rohit asked from Riya and all look towards Riya in hope but Riya nod her head in no.

“Wait let me call her" Rohit said and took out his mobile.

Rohit is about to call Neeli but Shakti put hand on his shoulder and stopped him, Rohit looked towards him and raised his eyebrows in questionable look and Shakti point towards Grand ma through eyes and Rohit nod his head in understanding.

"Ma you please try to call her; she will definitely pick your call" Shakti requested his mother.

Grandma looks towards him angrily but didn't replied then Riya replied on her behalf -"Papa, Grand ma already called her thrice but she is not picking her call also".

"Savitri if she is not picking your call also then it means matter is serious, she never neglects your call, but what had happened here exactly?" Grand Pa asked out of tension for his granddaughter.

Grand ma again look towards Shakti and Mohini angrily "Asked your daughter in law what she did, she talked about her marriage not even this she in fact...(Grandma took a pause) she told her that you all selected a boy for her and that is Ronak and a perfect guy for her despite knowing that she was in bad mood" Grand ma explained whole matter in brief.

"Mohini, how could you do this? you know her very well" Grandpa said in scolding tone.

"Papa ji, she is my daughter I will always think about her betterment, I was not aware of her bad mood because she was coming from shopping" Mohini justified herself who was equally tense.

"Mohini don't lie, haven't Riyu told you that don't talk to her now, she is already in bad mood" Grand ma said angrily.

"Yes, ma she told me, but I haven't thought that Neeli will react such strongly" Mohini again tried to justify herself.

"See, her mistake" Grand ma become angrier.

"Savitri relax, nothing will happen" Grand pa made her calm down.

"One-minute hold on, if she was coming from shopping then how her mood could be bad? what happened to her?" Rohit asked while looking towards Riya and Sheetal.

Then Sheetal told about her encounter with Sameer and all become shocked and Grand ma hold her head in tension after listening this and started thinking that Sameer had punched on Neeli's most sensible point, she won't be able to take her insult on her clothing and character and only Grand ma knows how can she behave now.

"I am very sorry Grand ma from my brother's side" Sheetal said apologetically.

"Sheetal dear you don't need to be sorry, it’s all ok, don't worry” Grand ma comfort her embarrassment and pats her cheeks lovingly.

Again, everybody started to call Neeli but no luck then Grand ma thinks something “Riyu, till how many hours Neeli did shopping?"

"Around 3 hours, Grandma and I am sure she hasn’t gone for shopping again” Riya replied and added a piece of information.

"Then it means maybe she can go over there" Grand ma said in tension.

"If is that so Grandma then it’s not good for her" Riya too become tense for her sister listening Grand ma.

All were listening them in confuse state.

"Ma, Riyu what are you talking about?" Shakti asked in confusion.

"You both are her parents or what, don't you know what we are talking about?" There careless nature was enough to agitate Grand ma.

Mohini sat beside her "Ma, do you want to say she went to have?” Mohini got their words and Grand ma nods her head in positive.

“Oh no it can make her health condition worse" Mohini said in concern.

"Well isi baat pe ek sher arz hai 'mera dil dhak dhak karta tha aur jiya bekaraar tha (2), kya aap sabko sach mei Neeli ka hi intezar tha" (well a poetry for this ‘my heart was beating faster and breath become heavier,(2) were you all waiting for me over there).

All turned towards the source of voice and were happy seeing Neeli standing on door keeping her both hand on waist, but all were shocked seeing her face which is total pale and in devasted state.
