How dare she? How dare he? Jab main Ali se hug karti hoon, he stops me, because bebe aur uski maa mujh par shak karenge. But when he does it with that no good for girl, Dolly, it doesn't matter. "They know she's my best friend. They won't mind." My foot. Police wala hain nah, sexist toh hona hi tha. I should have known. Aur what sort of name is Dolly, kisne doll dekh kai kahe hai, our daughter should be named after that.
Avni gave one last look at the two "best friends", before stomping to her room, not noticing she had stomped past Bebe. Bebe followed her, and saw her sit down on her bed with frustration. When Avni noticed bebe, bebe was at the door with a smile on her face. Avni stood up straightening herself to look presentable to bebe.
Ab bebe kyun itni khush hai, iss bar kya musibat main phisangi.
"Ananya bahu, mujhe paata tha ki tum meri half-angrezi half-hindi medium bahu ki choice ho nahi sakti. Mere Neel ki pasand hon," Bebe smiled at Avni as she herself sat on the bed, gesturing Avni to follow pursuit.
Avni smiled awkwardly back at bebe, wondering what was it this time that pushed bebe's sphere into this side of her daily Newton's cradle of "Yeh kiski pasand hai?" drama.
"Ananya bahu, mujhe pata hain ke tum aur Neel naya zamaana se hon. Modern zamaana se hon. Lekin shaadi sirf ik normal se rishta nahi hain. Uske saath tumhe hak milta hain. Ab mujhe pata hain ki main kuch zaada hi shak karne lag gi thi tumhaara aur tumhari bhai jaise dost Ali kon. Aur yeh Neel aur Dolly bhi uss tarah hi dost hain. Lekin tumhe uski nazdeekiyan pasand nahi hain, toh tumhare hak hain ki tum Neel se yeh zahir karon apna gusse, apni jalan. Tumhare hak hain, tum uski patni hon. Jaise woh kehta rehta hain na, wifey hon uski. Tum samajh rahi hon nah meri baat."
Avni looked blankly at bebe, although she wanted to express to bebe that she wasn't jealous of Dolly, bebe did make a good point.
"Ji bebe. Main samajh rahi hoon."
Neel ka phaisle tha ki who mujhko yeh shaadi mein kedh kare. Woh ghar ghar khed na chahta hain, toh meh woh hi karoongi. Wifey kehta hain nah mujhe. Dear hubby, ab yeh wifey se hi tum chootkara chahonge.
Avni got bebe to talk through some ideas. This way, she wouldn't get bebe mad and have to deal with the reprecussions, but still get her way out. By the end of this, Neel Khanna would lose at his own game.

"What should I call him, hubby or baby?" Avni mused to herself, preparing for her sugary veiled attack.
