"Two down, three to go" "Simmiii" he started looking for his next target.
He found Simmi dressing his lovely niece Ananya. "Simmi meri behen! Tu kitna kaam karti hai. Laa Ananya ko mere paas. Mai iske kapde change kar deta hun" he offered help and took Ananya in his arms.
Simmi kept staring at Raman who was struggling to accomplish his task. "Tujhse nai na hoga Bhai. Ye tere bas ki bath nahi hai" she took Ananya from his arms and continued with her work.
Raman lost the first attempt to butter his sister. He looked around and found some clothes on the bed. "Ye Neelu bhi na kapde aise hi chod jathi hai. Itne achhe aur mehenge kapde koi aise hi chod deta hai kya? Dikhta nahi meri behen kitni busy rehti hai? Koi bath nahi aaj tera bhai teri madad kar dega. Mai isko cupboard me rakh detha hun" he took the piled up clothes.
"Bhai ye kya kar rahe ho? Ye to purane kapde hain jo maine abhi cupboard se nikalne hain. Wo neelu ki behen ko dene the. Itni der se poora chaan maarke maine kapde nikale aur tu isko wapas rakh raha hai. Pehle hi kaam kam hai kya mujhe?" she took away the clothes from him.
"Wahi to. Tu kitna kaam karti hai meri behen. Isiliye teri madad karne aya tha" Raman tried to save his skin.
"Bhai tujhe ho kya gaya hai? Aaj achanak behen ka bada khayal araha hai. Chal kya raha hai? Haan?" Simmi looked at him suspiciously.
"Kuch bhi to nahi. Mai to hamesha tera khayal raktha hun. Bas jatane ka waqt nahi miltha. Aur waise bhi tu to meri pyari behna hai" Raman tried to cover up.
"Tu theek to hai na bhai? Ajeeb batein kar raha hai. Mujhe bahut kaam hai. Pareshan na kariyo" she said and got involved in her work.
"Raman kuch jaldi soch. Isko patina utna asan nahi jitna tune socha tha" he mumbled to himself. He found Ananya smiling at him. "Dekh teri bhanji bhi tujhpe has rahi hai" he glared at her and she started to cry.
"Arre bachha nahi rothe" He took Ananya in his lap and started to console her. An idea struck his mind. "Rothe nahi beta. Mama tumhe gaana sunayenge"
"Phoolon ka taaron ka, sabaka kehana hai
Ek hazaaron mein meri behnaa hai"
He was rubbing Ananya's back while his eyes were on Simmi to make sure she is listening.
"Sari, umar, hamen sang rehana hai
Phoolon ka taaron ka, sabaka kehana hai
Ek hazaaron mein meri behnaa hai"
Ananya started crying more vigorously. He started singing louder.
"Bhai ye tu kya kar raha hai?" Simmi started laughing out loud and took Ananya in her arms. "Pagal kutte ne naina kaat liya tujhe?"
"Neelu...Zara baby ko bahar tehelne keliye le jaa. Bechari Mama ka gaana sunke sadme me agayi hai" she handed over the kid to Neelu and came towards her brother who had facepalmed himself due to embarrassment "Waise bhai! Is gaane ne na mujhe bachpan ki yaad dila di. Yaad hai jab mai choti thi tab apne kandhe pe bithake sare ghar me ghoomte the. Yahi gaana gaate the na?" she smiled fondly at her childhood memories.
"Haan. Yakeen nahi atha ke us bat ko saalon beeth gaye. Aisa lagta hai ke kal ki bath hai. Kitni choti thi tu. Aur aaj tak mujhse bhi lambi hogayi hai. Kaise badal gaye na din" he ran a hand over her head.
"Haan mai badal gayi hun. Pehle har choti si bath tuhko batathi thi aur mere ansu girne se pehle hi tu ansu poch detha tha bhai. Ab itni badi bath hogayi aur maine tujhe apne ansu pochne ka mouka hi nahi diya. Tujhpe bharosa hi nahi kiya maine" she said tears welling up in her eyes.
"Pagli tu ka samajhti hai ke bhai ko kuch patha nahi chalta. Tera chehra dekh kar bat sakta hun ke tere dil me kya chal raha hai. Bhai hun tera" he wiped her tears.
Ye na jaana duniya ne,
Tu hai kyun udaas
Teri pyaari aankhon mein,
Pyaar ki hai pyaas
"Kinna galat kiya maine tere aur Ishita ke sath. Kya chehra lekar ati apna dard baante?" she said regret filled in her words.
"Bhai ko itna bhi nahi samajhti. Tere sare dukh dard mai apne sar le loon. Tu keh ke to dekh"
Aa mere paas aa, keh jo kehna hai
"Bhai mujhe maaf karde" she folded her hands and sobbing uncontrollably.
"Chup kar Simmi. Ab ek ansu nahi" he said hugging her and wiping her tears.
"Bhai! Paramji ki baton me akar maine tere aur Ishita ke rishte me bahut darar lane ki koshish ki. Par ab mai janchuki hun ke mai galath thi. Apni is galti ka bojh mujhse uthaya nahi jaraha. Mai tere aur Ishita keliye kuch karna chahti hun"
"Sach?" Raman had long forgotten why he was here. Now he remembered and beamed victoriously.
"Haan sach. Par tu aise kyun behave kar raha hai jaise koi farishta dekh liya?" she was hell confused with his weird reaction.
"Farishta hi to hai tu Simmi. Tune ye bolke mera kaam asaan kar diya. Isiliye to mai aya tha tere paas" he blurted out the truth in excitement.
"Achha ji to ye bat hai. Tu isliye itna maska laga raha tha" Simmi said, hand on her hip.
Raman bit his tongue "Please yaar Simmi apne bhai ki madad karde. Teri bhabi rooth gayi hai aur usko manane ke waste mai subah se papad bel raha hun" he begged.
"Bada kameena hai tu. Mai to bekar me hi emotional hogayi thi" she said pulling his legs.
"Tujhe patane ka plan tha magar feelings genuine the" he said honestly.
"Chal chad. Maan li teri bath. Ab bata karna kya hai"
They discussed the plan and Simmi gave him the green signal.
"Wah Raman! Tu ne to kamal kar ditta. Itni asani se trimurthiyon ko mana liya" he said mentally applauding for himself.
"Ab agla bakra halal karne ki bari. Kuch zyada nahi karna. Bas apne gusse ko kabu me rakh" he marched towards his next target.

Romi was sitting on his bed, headphones dangling from his ears and eyes stuck on his phone. He was baffled when Raman kept a hand on his shoulder. He quickly removed the earphones and threw the phone away.
"Bh...bha...ai...aa...p...ya...haan?" he said stuttering in fear.
"Kaisa hai mere bhai?" Raman sat next to him.
"Maine kuch nahi kiya bhai"
"Tune shayad suna nahi. Maine poocha ke tu kaisa hai"
"Theek hun bhai. Par maine kuch nahi kiya"
"Ye kya bole ja raha hai tu?" Raman raised his hands and Romi closed his eyes and jerked away thinking that Raman was going to hit him. He let out a sigh of relief when the hand softly landed on his shoulder. He looked at the hand with wide eyes and then looked at Raman's face. Raman was giving a wide grin. Romi was totally confused as he seldom sees this avtar of his bhai.
"Bhai kya bat hai?" he was still apprehensive.
"Mai to bas yehi dekhne aya tha ke teri chot kaisi hai. Dard to nahi horaha na. Tera dard mera dard hai bhai" he said running a hand over Romi's plaster.
Chot lage tujhko to dard mujhe hota hai
Raman pressed the wound in order to soothe the pain but he accidentally pressed it so hard that Romi yelled in pain.
"Kya hua Romi? Dard hua kya?"
"Aa bhai. Chot pe itne zor se hath maara aapne" Romi said screaming in pain.
"Ro mat beta. Tera dard dekh ke mera dil rotha hai" Raman said wiping the imaginary tears.
Aankh teri chhalke to dil yeh mera rota hai
"Par Bhai mai to roya hi nahi"
"Pagle tujhe kya lagta hai ke bhai ko kuch pata nahi chalta. Tera dard mai samajhta hun. Bhai hun tera"
Bhai bhai mein aksar yeh hota hai
"Achha? Aisa bhi hotha hai?" Romi was hell confused.
"Haan mere bhai. Aisa hi hotha hai"
Hota hai, yeh hota hai
"Par bhai aaj achanak apko mera dard kaise yad agaya? Aaj phir se kiss to nahi karoge na?" he said covering his cheeks. He had started doubting Raman's intentions.
"Wo bhi karlenge. Bas tu haan karde"
"Nahi" Romi said trying to run away. "Kiss nahi bhai. Please"
"Tu bhaag kyun raha hai? Mujhe teri help chahye"
"Phir se Bhabi ko kiss karna hai?"
"Arre nahi. Is baar kiss nahi, kuch aur karna hai. Aur tu hi meri madad kar sakta hai"
"Kya bhai? Aapne mujhe kya samajh rakha hai? Mai aisa waisa nahi hun. Kiss to phir bhi theek tha. Par jo aap soch rahe hain wo mai nahi kar sakta"
"Kyun nahi kar sakta? Tu hi to kar sakta hai. Tu to isme expert hai"
"Ye aap kya bol rahe ho bhai? Mai aisa nahi kar sakta"
"Kyun nahi kar sakta?"
"Kyunke mai waisa nahi hun"
"Kaisa nahi hai?"
"Wo dostana wala nahi hun main"
"Dostana?" "Kya? DOSTANA? Pagal hogaya hai tu? Nalayak. Tere dimag me aisi gandi batein ati kaisi hain. Doosri pair thudvani hai kya?"
"Abhi to mera dard tera dard bol rahe the aura b taang thodne ki bath kar rahe ho" Romi caught Raman in his own words.
"Bahut jhoot bol liya maine. Aur jhoot nahi bol sakta. Chup chaap meri madad kar warna" he warned Romi.
"Warna kya?"
"Warna tujhe kiss kar doonga" Raman said with an evil grin.
"Nahi bhai. Aap jo bologe wo karunga. Bas kiss mat karna" Romi folded his hands.
"Ab sun tujhe kya karna hai" plan was finalized.

"Ab akhri target reh gaya hai. Mera sasural. Unko manana to mere bayein hath ka kaam hai. Kuch bhi bol lo ye Madrasi hain bade sweet. Bilkul Vade ki tarah. Bahar se crisp aur andar se soft"
As expected it was easy for Raman to convince his in-laws for the plan.
"Ab bas sham ka intezar hai"
Raman was successful in his first mission. Now he waited for his plan's completion. What is his plan for confession?
Stay tuned Dhun abhi baki hai.
