Sudden Attack

Pawan made his way to the dining table and noticed the tension in the room. Thinking quickly, he spoke up, "Pihu baby, aapne plan kiya tha na ki sabko garden se sunflowers aur roses milenge?"

"Offo, main toh bhool hi gayi!" Pihu said as she cutely hit herself on the forehead.

"Priya Bhabhi, main Pihu baby ko leke jaun?"

"Haan Pawan, zaroor. Pihu, Pawan ko sataana mat, aur achhe se flowers pick karna," Priya replied warmly.

"Waah, 'Priya Bhabhi'. Itna zyaada pyaar," Nandini snarked.

"Haan Mom, mujhe bohot achha lagta hain jab ye sab mujhe Bhabhi bulaate hain. Mere apne lagte hain."

"That's great, Priya," Nandini said aloud sarcastically before muttering, "Tumhare apne ne mere pati aur bachhi ko maar daala, hopefully iss baar tumse kuch ghalat na ho."

"Kya kaha aapne, Mom?" Ram replied in the most innocent tone he could muster. He had heard the comment Nandini had made and couldn't believe she would say something like that.

"Kuch nahi, Ram," Nandini replied quickly.

"Nahi, aapne kuch kaha. Zor se boliye na, kya kaha aapne?"

Priya could sense that Ram was losing his patience. She had also heard what Nandini had said but chose to ignore it to avoid creating a scene in front of everyone. She slipped her hand underneath the table to hold Ram's and try to will him into calming down.

"Ram, kya hua? Maine kuch nahi kaha. Tum bhadak kyun rahe ho?"

"Achha, toh aap meri biwi aur uske parivaar ke baare mein bura kahenge aur main pretend karu ki aapne kuch nahi kaha?"

"Lekin maine kuch ghalat toh nahi kaha, na? Priya ke pita ne mere Virendra ki jaan li aur uske bhanje ne Shivi ki. Zaahir si baat hain ki shayad Priya ke haath se bhi-"

"CHUP! Ek aur shabd nahi, Mrs. Nandini Kapoor," Ram growled as he stood up. "I can't believe ki aap itna gir sakti hain. Behtar hoga ki aap Priya se abhi maafi maange aur next time se dhyaan rakhiye ki aap mere saamne meri Priya ke baare main kya kya bolte hain."

"Arre waah. Priya, tumne mere bete ke saath kya kiya? Ab main apne hi ghar main baat bhi nahi kar sakti. What's next? Main Priya ke saamne saans lungi toh mujhe ghar se nikaal diya jaayega kya?"

"Aapko toh ghar se nikalna hi hoga ab. I'm sorry, lekin main ab aur naatak nahi kar sakta. Adi, phone laga."

"Kisko, Ram?" Nandini asked uneasily.

"Police commissioner ko. Aapko kya laga, aap mere peeth peeche itna sab kuch karegi aur mujhe pata nahi chalega?"

"M-maine kya kiya?"

"Aap bhole banne ki acting kyun kar rahi hain? Hum sabko pata chal gaya hain ki aapne kya kiya hain. Behtar hoga ki aap commissioner saab ko sab sach-sach bata de aur apna boriya-bistar baand ke rakhiye, kyunki aapka agla ghar ab Mumbai Central Prison hoga."

"Ye tum kya keh rahe ho, Ram? Tum mujhe jail bhejna chahte ho? Tum aise kaise kar sakte ho mere saath? Virendra hote toh-"

"DON'T YOU DARE. Don't you fucking dare bring Dad into this, Nandini Kapoor. Agar woh zinda hote toh woh aapse nafrat karte. Koi apne hi parivaar ke saath aise kaise kar sakta hain? Apni beti ki maut ko istemaal karna, apne bete ko manipulate aur abuse karna, apni poti ke saath bura-bartaav karna! Aur Priya ke saath jo kuch bhi aapne kiya! Priya ki health ke khaatir main nahi dohraunga ki aapne unke saath kya kuch nahi kiya. Aur tu, Shubhu. Humhe pata chal gaya ki tumne kya kya kiya hain. Tere plan ki wajah se Shivi ki jaan chali gayi. Kaisa bhai hain tu?"
