After two hours Karan headed home.
Arun,Dheeraj and Gauri also reached home and Jai was awake and ready.
After changing their clothes all came downstairs and saw Karan sitting on the sofa with an angry expression on his face.
"Bhaiya aaj aap itni jaldi kaise aagaye" Arun asked.
"Kisi ki shaamat lagani hai mujhe aaj" He said angrily and glared at Jai.
"Matlab" Arun asked confused.
"Ye raat ko sneak out karke party mein gaya tha" He pointed towards Jai and said angrily.
Jai looked at him shocked.Arun glared at Jai furiously.
"Mana Kia tha na tumhe jaane se fir kyu gaye" Arun said looking at him sharply.
"Vohh bhaiya mai-
"Khaana khao aur uske baad study mein aao" Karan said angrily cutting off Jai and went upstairs.
Jai nodded and all sat for lunch. After lunch Jai was standing outside the study and thinking whether to go inside or not.
"Gauri ko bulakar lao" A sound came in from the study.
Jai went from there to Gauri's room.
"Bhaiya ne bulaya hai tujhe" He said.
"Mujhe bhi fasa diya na aapne" She said crying.
"Sorry yaar mujhe nahi pata tha bhaiya ko pata chal jaega"He said sadly.
"Chalo"Gauri said and they stood outside the study.
Suddenly door opened.
"Invitation du andar aane ka?" Karan asked strictly.
"Nahi bhaiya sorry" They both said and got in.
Karan closed the door of study and walked to his seat. He sat in front of his siblings.
"Tumhe abhi Arun ne punishment di thi na jhoot bolne ke liye tumne firse jhoot bola" Karan said to Gauri.
"Bhaiya maine kaha jhoot bola vo to bhai ne bola" She said quickly.
"Par tumne sach bhi nahi bataya" He said.
"Sorry" She muttered.
"Go and stand outside the study raising your hands until I deal with you dear brother"He said strictly.
"Bhaiya study ke bahar kyu yahi dedo na punishment"She whined.
He took out a wooden stick from below the table.
"Ye milega chaiye?" He asked her angrily.
She ran outside and stood there raising her hands.
"Itna zaruri tha party mein jaana ki na meri baat maani na Arun ki?" Karan said disappointed.
"Bhaiya maine socha ki aisi parties baar baar nahi aati isliye mai miss karna nahi chahta tha"Jai said looking down.
"Listen kid. Mujhe koi problem nahi hai tumhare parties mein jaane se but their should be a limit. I cannot allow you to attend late night parties because I don't believe they are safe. Drinking smoking and what not is there. What if someone mixes something in your drink and you get out of control?I have no problem if you go to parties that end at maximum 12 am.
Plus I very well know how much of a kid you still are. You still aren't mature enough.I cannot risk sending you alone like this until you get some peace of mind.I care about your safety that's the reason I said no" Karan said sighing.
Jai now understood his mistake. He was thinking his brothers had the habit of denying him every time but now he understood their concern.
He knew his bhaiya was right when he said that he isn't still mature because he easily gets trapped by others. He remembers once when a friend approached him and forced him to smoke he almost gave in but Manav came at the last moment and threw the cigarette away.
"Sorry bhaiya"He said with guilt.
After making sure that Jai has realised his mistake Karan looked at him sternly.
"Haanji bhaisahab to ab aapki punishment discuss karlein?" Karan asked sarcastically.
"Bhaiya is baar chor do bas agli baar aisa kuch nahi hoga" Jai said.
"Tune pichli baar bhi yahi kaha tha" He said looking at him.
There was a knock on the door and after getting permission Arun entered.
"Bhaiya kya kia is ladki ne ab?"He asked Karan angrily.
"Tujhse matlab?" Karan said folding his arms.
"Nahi vo to mai bas" He said nervously.
"Apne bhai ko support karne ki punishment mil hai use"Karan said.
"Matlab use pata tha?" Arun asked.
"Haan. Maine already punishment dedi hai ab tu use nahi daatega"Karan said in no nonsense tone.
"Par...fine" He said changing his reply after getting glares from Karan.
"Jao aur use andar bhejo" He said to Arun and he left.
Gauri entered and closed the door of study. She was tired and her hands and legs were hurting.
Karan looked at her dull face and sighed.
"Idhar aao" He said to her.
She walked to him.
"Jhoot ka saath dena bhi jhoot bolna hi hota hai. I don't want you to repeat this. Tum apne kisi bhi bhai ko uski galti par support nahi karogi samjhi?"He explained to her softly.
"Ji. Kisi ko nahi matlab aapko bhi support na karu?"She said pouting.
Jai left out a small laugh.
"Mai tum logon jaise aisi harkatein nahi karta" Karan said rolling his eyes.
"No go and take some rest. Massage your hands and legs" He said softly and kissed her head.
She left. Karan glared at Jai who was looking at him nervously.
"Bhaiya mujhe ekdam se kaam yaad aaraha hai to mai chalta hu baad mein aaunga"Jai said and turned to leave.
"Idhar vapas aao" Karan said firmly. Jai turned quickly.
"Apni bakwaas band karo. Galti ki hai to chup chaap apni punishment lo"Karan said strictly.
He picked up the wooden stick again.
"No way bhaiya aap mujhe isse nahi maaroge"Jai said horrified.
"Tum mujhe order derahe ho?" Karan said angrily glaring at him.
"Hehe nahi bhaiya mai to bas"He said nervously.
"You will do sixty situps holding your ears and then you will write 'I will never sneak out' while kneeling down in front of me"Karan said strictly and sat on his chair.
Jai looked at him shocked.
"Bhaiya please" Jai looked at him with puppy eyes.
"Shukar karo tumhe ground nahi kar raha mai. Get started now."Karan said strictly and hit the wooden stick on floor.
Jai held his ears and started doing situps while counting. After doing thirty he got tired.
"Bas bhaiya aur nahi horaha"He said and sat down.
Karan hit his leg with wooden stick lightly.
"Shuru Karo dubara"He ordered sternly.
Jai again started and completed sixty situps.
"Ye lo paper pen start with your second punishment" Karan gave him pen and paper.
"Bhaiya meri legs mein pain horaha hai"He whined.
"Good. Punishments are meant to hurt" Karan said firmly.
Jai knelt down and started writing.
"Bhaiya fifty times likh lia mene ab aur nahi likh sakta"Jai said and left the pen.
"Thappar khaana hai?Zor ka?" Karan asked strictly.
"Bhaiya I am a teacher. Mujhe ye sab likhwana chaiye aur aap merse likhwa rahe ho"Jai whined.
"You are a teacher but you don't behave like one beta"Karan said smiling sarcastically.
He sulked and started writing again.
"Done" Jai said and gave the paper and pen to him.
"Dubara aisi harkat karoge?"Karan asked.
"Bilkul" Jai said and Karan glared at him.
"Mera matlab nahi kabhi nahi" He smiled nervously and said.
"Batameez"Karan said.
"Bhaiya aapne mere haath pair tod diye abhi bhi pyaar se nahi bolrahe" He sulked.
"Kon kahega ki tum 22 saal ke ho aur tum ek teacher ho" Karan said sighing and Jai pouted.
Karan made him sit and started massaging his legs.
"Agli baar se aisi harkat ki to taange sach mein tod dunga"He warned.
"Nahi karunga na bhaiya" He whined.
"Jao ab" Karan said softly and Jai left.
