She actually was dealing with some problem in her hospital. Being a senior authority Simple had to handle the problem & she was doing her best still it didn't seemed working. She was hiding her tention from her family as she don't want them to get worried for her. With all her thoughts roaming in her mind, she didn't knew when Kavin came home. He sat besides her & sighed,
"Simple please ek glass pani lado.", he said.
But simple seemed in her own thoughts so he called her name little loud this time with which she came out of her trance.
"Kya hua! Kahan khoi hui thi!", He asked.
Simple nodded negatively,
"Nai vo kuch ni. Ap baitho main pani lati hu. Kakki bhi so gai hongi abtak. Khanna bhi lgadu apke liye!", she asked.
"Nai khana nai vo to dinner kar liya bahr se hi. Bs pani lado.",
he said softly.
Simple nodded & brought a glass of water for him. They talked lightly & walked towards their room as both were tired. Kavin walked in bathroom taking his nightware. He changed & came back when his cell phone rang. He checked the caller Id & became tensed. He hurried & took the call & moved out in balcony of the room.
Hello.....!!!
What!!!! Are you sure!! Lekin vo bhag kaise gaya!
Maine bola tha na ki uska group koi activity plan kar rha hai. Ab bhag gya na chetan! Ab pta nai vo aur kaunsey crimes krega aur kitni janein lega.
Thik hai Delhi police ko inform krdo & make sure hmein updates miltey rahein."
.
.
He then hung up the call & thought to himself,
"Itney waqt se tention tha already is Chetan ka. Badi mushkil se hath aya tha. Ab Delhi bhag gya bs vaha ki police ab jaldi se arrest krle."
When he came back, he seemed tensed but he faked a smile for his wife. They were chitchating lightly covering & hiding their worries from each other. It was then Simple said something jockingly.
"Tum ese kahogi to dekho room se ya nikal jaungavya tumhe nikal dunga.", Kavin said jokingly.
"Acha ji! Nikal ke to dikhao zara! Apki khatiya na khadi krdungi.",
Simple too said jokingly.
"Acha!! Toh thik hai jao fir room se bahar.", he again said jokingly.
They were fighting jokingly when their jokes took a serious turn. They started arguing. Bulbul who came to kitchen to drink some water heard some arguments going in between Kavimple. She was astonished at this & walked towards Kavimple's room.
She was about to knock the door when Kavin opened the door
& found her there. By her posture & expressions it wasn't difficult to know that she must had heard them arguing & was to knock the door. Kavin was fuming in anger so he thought it right to just leave silently. Bulbul just saw him leaving his room
& when she looked back in room, she found Simple had already noticed her presence so she rubbed off her tears immideately although Bulbul had already noticed them. She silently moved towards Simple & made her sit on bed. She then poured some water in glass & gave it to her which she refused but when Bulbul requested, Simple could not refuse.
"Bhabhi please ap ro nahi. Unhoney ese hi bol diya but he didn't mean that. Please calm down. Main bhaiya se baat krti hu na. Ap please preshan mat hoiye.",
Bulbul said.
Simple nodded in no, "Nai Bulbul! Koi zarurat nai hai. Vo khud gye hain khud aa jaynge. Tum preshan mat ho hmarey liye. And am fine so don't worry.",
She said in concerned tone as she knew Bulbul easily gets worried over trifles.
Bulbul nodded unwilingly as she too knew why Simple was saying that. But she couldn't stay calm as Kavimple were at place of her own parents & they both too always treated Bulbul like their own kid. She then asked her to rest & moved out. She then moved towards study as she knew Kavin would be there as whenever he use to get tensed or upset he would be found in study in front of a big life sized photoframe of their demised parents hung on the wall. As yeah she was right too. She found him there only. She knocked the door though it was open. Kavin tilted his head a bit & found Bulbul standing on the door. Bulbul took babysteps towards him as she always been scared of his anger. But somehow she gethered strength & uttered,
"Bhaiya please gussa mat kariye na! Ap please room mein jao. Bhabhi bhi vahan preshan baithi hain.", she said politely.
"Bubu please tu ja. Ja k so ja. Insab mein mat parh. Ja soja.", Kavin said trying to pretend normal.
"Bhaiya please! Bhabhi ka vo matlab nai tha! Vo to ese hi mjak mein bol diya apko. Please ap...!",
she was saying softly as she heard them from kitchen when Kavin interuptted.
"Agar vo mazak kar rhi thi to main bhi to mazak kar rha tha. Vo kyu usne ese seriously liya. Kuch bhi krti smjhti hai vo. Bs rehne do.",
he said a little louder.
"Bhaiya shayd vo kisi vjh se preshan thi kuch din se. Mujhe ye to nai pta but vo call pe hospital kisi se baat kr rhi thi aur preshan lag rhi thi. Bs tensed thi. Hmein show ni kr rhi thi shayd abhi isliye mazak ko serious le lia. Please bhaiya samjhiye na!",
she said trying to convince him.
"Esa nai hota hai Bubu! Main bhi to preshan tha. Kher vo bhi choro. Mujhse share to krti shayd help kr pata uski. Aur fir agar hm sukh share krte hain to dukh kyu nai! Nai iss bar usko rehne do akely room mein. Main nai janey vala.",
he said refusing.
"Bhai please na!! Don't complicate this for me.",
Bulbul said almost pleading with teary eyes.
Kavin placed his hand on her cheek & said faking a smile,
"Beta am fine! Don't worry. Tum itni fiqar mat kiya karo. Ab jao jakar so jao. Hmm!!", he said pating her cheeks.
"But bhai....!!", she was again about to say when he interupted again.
"Am tired. Mujhe bahut nind a rhi hai. Need rest. Tum bhi jao so jao. Hmm!!", he again said faking smile for his sister.
Bulbul nodded reluctantly & forced a smile,
"Good night bhaiya. Take care.", she said while he too nodded with a forced smile for her & she left with heavy heart.
As Bulbul left Kavin's POV,
"Am sorry Bubu! I know this must had hurt you & infact Simple ko bhi lekin filhal yahi sahi hai. Shayd mujhe Simple ko kuch der akeley chor dena chahiye tanki vo sort kr skey sarey conflicts khude sath chal rhe jo uske. Fir shayd vo khud mujhe sab bta de.", he thought to himself & sighed deep.
He then lied down on a couch placed in study so that when during a case he would get late going through files, he could rest there for a while.
.

Here Bulbul was going towards her room when she haulted her steps in front of an open window of Kavimple's room. She peeped inside
& found Simple instructing about some medicine
to someone over the call. And now she seemed normal maybe she placed aside her personal life for prossessional life of her being a doctor that's why. Bulbul then walked to her room & lied on bed lost somewhere. Kavimple's face was flashing in front of her eyes. Tears were brimming in her eyes as she recalled how Kavimple argued.
She hugged her favorite teddy bear that Kavin had once gifted her to make up with her when he promised he would attend her annual school fest but he could not due to his job. She was lying hugging the teddy for god knows how long as sleep was away from her eyes and she was thinking of how she could bring Kavimple together again if they don't patch up the next morning themselves. Here sleep was miles away from Kavimple's eyes too. They were thinking about what happened shortly. The trio finally feel asleep late in almost morning hours. Next morning though slept late, Bulbul woke up early as she had morning tutions as her 12th's exams were approaching. She got ready & rushed out in a hurry. After her tution, she came back & found Simple in kitchen who told her to have her breakfast but as Bulbul wasn't feeling like having anything but for Simple's sake she had a glass of juice. She then again rushed to her room to collect her belongings & wear her school uniform. She then moved towards Kavimple's room to see if everything is sorted but Kavin was in bathroom taking shower & Simple too seemed okayish so she{Bulbul} was confused if everything sorted out or what! It was then she heard her school van honking, so she rushed out biding bye to Simple. In the school too she was lost in her own thoughts. It was then in her free lecture, she was called by her friend to accompany her to canteen but when she tried to stand up, something happened that made her friend worried for her.
