Shreya POV

The moment I entered my house, I was attacked by a very happy Jahanavi.

"Bua!! You are here." She said.

"Forgot me so soon darling?" Kabir asked Jahanavi.

"No fufaji, how can I forget you?" She asked very cutely.

I gave her chocolates as promised.

Mumma Papa came and I hugged them. Kabir took their blessings.

I then hugged my bhaiyas and Bhabhis. All the men were sitting in the living room while I joined the ladies in the kitchen.

"So Shreya, are you liking it there?" Khyati Bhabhi asked.

"I am Bhabhi. Mom and dad treat me like their own daughter. Roshni Bhabhi is good to me too. Siddharth bhaiya is just like Rohit bhai and Aditya...well he too watching cartoons!! So I'll not miss Shin Chan." I said.

"Paagal ladki!" Mumma said and Bhabhis laughted.

Then Kabir took his leave. He will come to pick me up tomorrow.

I was sitting with everyone in the living room and we were talking.

"Shreya, I hope your in laws have not diagnosed your mental problem or else they will think that they got a maaad daughter in law." Rohit bhai said earning a smack on his hand from Khyati Bhabhi.

"Rohit bhai... leave about me. Think about the baby who is on the way to a very idiotic father." I said and started laughing with Virat bhai.

We then went out to have lunch together in my favourite restaurant.

Coming back, Jahanavi was so tired that she slept and Virat bhai carried her to her room. I too went to my room to have a nap.

It was evening and I as usual was watching cartoons with Jahanavi. Mumma called us for dinner. We had dinner together and played pass on the parcel. I naturally lost and Rohit bhai won. I pouted.

"It's already past 11. Go to bed everyone." Mumma ordered.

I went to my room and checked my phone. Immediately I received a message from Kabir.

'I will miss you tonight...!"

"I will not." I replied.

I'm hurt wifey😩😩" He wrote.

"And I'm not sorry for that" I typed back.

" I know you miss me!" He messaged.

"No, I don't!" I replied.

"Keep telling yourself that." He typed.

"Goodnight." I wrote.

"Trying to get rid of me now, are we?" He messaged.

I did not reply anything.

"I know that you are reading every message of mine. Goodnight and dream of me." He messaged.

"You are so full of yourself!!" I replied.

"I'm not Kabir Rathore for anything." He replied and I could imagine him smirking.

I was too tired to process anything and let the sleep engulf me.

Next morning I again felt tremours of earthquake. When I opened my eyes I saw Jahanavi and Aditya jumping on my bed.

"Aditya when and how did you come here?" I asked him.

"I've come here with chachu to pick you up chachi. But see you were sleeping till now so we decided to wake you up.

I immediately went to washroom and got ready wearing my Anarkali. I came down.

"Shreya, Kabir is waiting for you from the past half an hour and you are showing up now. Jahanavi beta, what was your dear bua doing in her room? Mumma asked.

"She was sleeping dadi." Jahanavi innocently replied.

I just blushed and saw Kabir smirking at me.

"Shreya do one thing, go into hibernation only!" Virat bhai said and I glared at him.

"Virat we will be taking your leave now, I am supposed to be at an important conference today. I'll drop her and then directly go from there." Kabir said.

"Don't let us stop you Kabir and keep visiting with Shreya. We will miss the baby of the house." He said and I showed him my tongue.

"Bhai take care of Mumma, papa, Riya Bhabhi, Jahanavi and Khyati Bhabhi too. I should have asked Rohit bhai to take care of Kyati Bhabhi but it will be enough if he takes care of himself only first. He tend to go bonkers all the time." I said.

"Shreya Rohit is not here then too you are making fun for him." Mumma said and smacked me lightly on my head. I just pouted.

I then left with Kabir and Aditya to go to my new house. I sighed sitting in the car.

"Shreya don't get sad. I've already told you that you can go to your house whenever you want." Kabir said.

I just smiled weakly at him. He doesn't have to leave his family. I do.

"Chachu! Ice cream! I want it." Aditya said from the backseat.

"Roshni bhabhi has said no for ice cream Adi and I'm absolutely not disobeying her this time. You know what happened last time na?? He said.

"Chachu plsease!! Just this time. We will not tell to Mumma about it." He whined.

"Kabir please!" I joined Aditya too.

"You should be the sensible one here!!" He said giving me a You-are-impossible look.

Then Aditya and I started shouting ice cream together and finally Kabir had to stop the car.

We had our ice creams and started for the house.

"If I get late for the conference, I'll blame both of you for it." Kabir said seriously.

"Please Chachu! You are the boss. The meeting cannot start without you." Aditya said leaving Kabir speechless.

"Kids these days I tell you...." Kabir whined.

Aditya and me high fived each other.

We reached the house. Kabir immediately left for the conference with Siddharth bhaiya and dad.

"Beta get ready. There is a Satyanarayan katha with we are supposed to attend." Mom said and I nodded.

"Aditya you too get ready. You will accompany us too."Roshni bhabhi said.

"Absolutely not Mumma. I get very bored there. From the last three times I am accompanying you, I will not go this time. All the ladies there stuff too many laddoos in my system." Aditya declared giving Roshni bhabhi a challenging look.

" I know this look. I'm sure this time he is not going to come with us but I cannot leave him alone. I really wanted to go." Bhabhi sighed.

" Bhabhi, you and mom go. I'll take care of this young man here." I offered.

"Thank you so much Shreya!!" Bhabhi said excitedly.

They left. It was only Aditya and me in the house. I just hope that we do not end up blowing the house together.

"Chachi lets go and watch cartoons." He said.

"Adi you switch on the TV till then I'll get changed and bring make some popcorns.

I was done with everything in 15 minutes. We then started having cartoon marathon. From Oggy and the Cockroaches to Horrid Henry, we watched everything and when the Shin Chan song started we both started jumping. I wished Jahanavi could be there. As we were done dancing, I saw 5 pairs of eyes watching us amusedly. I just blushed.

"This is what your brother said about you being paranoid." Siddharth bhaiya remarked and all of them chuckled.

"How come you people came home together." I asked.

"We picked both of them up from the kirtan."Dad said and I just nodded.

Later I served food to everyone which was cooked by Bhabhi and me and we all called it night.

"I must admit that you dance very well." Kabir said smirking.

"Shut up Kabir!" I said.

I faked hurt emotion on his face and started tickling me. I being very ticklish started laughing and fell on the bed. He was all over me. I was in a very intimate position with him. His lips were inches apart from mine. I was blushing furiously. The moment broke as I heard his phone ring. I couldn't meet his eyes and just ran to the washroom closing the door behind me.

Shreya's Anarkali.
