She caressed her belly after drinking juice.

"Bhabi" Mukti walked inside and held Nandini's hand and made her to stand on her feet.

Mukti: Chalo, its time for your walk.

Nandini (pouted): Choti, aaj nahi, please.

Mukti: No tantrums, Bhabi. You're in the last weeks of your pregnancy.

Nandini; Please na Choti, iss baar koi tantrum nahi. I'm so tired.

Nyonika: Mukti, jaane dho. Wo aaj kuch zyada hi thak gayi hain.

Mukti (frowned): Par jyu? Aapne kuch kaam kiya hai kya aaj? Kya Bhabi, aur kithne baar bolun aapse to take care of yourself?

Nandini: Offo! I didn't do anything, okay. I don't know why I'm tired.

She spoke grumpily and Mukti hugged her sideways.

Mukti: Sorry Bhabi! I thought you did some work, you know, chupi chupi work.

Nandini: Tumhara Bhai kuch karne kaha dethe.

Mukti (giggled): Achi baath hain na. Ab chalo, if not walking, then let's play some games. Waise bhi, aaj Thursday hain, Sab ghar pe honge. Mom, aap bhi chalo, aaj cooking nahi, baahar sa mangwathe hain.

Nyonika: No Mukti. Nandu ko bahar ke khana nahi denge hum.

Nandini: Offo Mom, thoda healthy khana bahar bhi milenge. Chalo aap bhi. You're not cooking without my help.

They both dragged Nyonika along and got out of the kitchen.

Manik: Maar khaega tu.

Cabir: Excuse me? Shadi nahi hui meri abi thak.

Manik: So? That's not an excuse to give, not at least for me.

Cabir sulked hard to which Manik paid no heeds. That was the moment, ladies joined him.

Nandini: Kya hua?

Nandini settled on a couch with Mukti beside her and Nyonika sat on a single-seated couch.

Cabir: Nandu, bol na iss coffee wale ko k..

Manik: Oh hello!Wo meri beewi ka hakk hai. Tu bas Bhai bulao, samjhe?

Cabir made a crying face and turned to Nandini, who sighed at their drama.

Nandini: Grumpy coffee! Kya problem hain? Why are you scolding him?

Manik: Because, he's invading in my privacy.

Nandini: What kind of privacy will you need from your brother?

Manik: Something that he doesn't need to know for now. Mene kaha usse pehle baap banne keliye, par suna hi nahi isne.

The ladies widened their eyes at him.

Nyonika: Manik? What are you even saying?

Manik: Arey ye sab baap ko padne keliye hain, isko nahi.
