They reached Delhi, and the driver saw them and get their luggages and he loaded into the boot. Shaurya opens the door for Mehak, she sat and he sat next to her. After the bad traffic they reached Khanna Mansion. Mehak smiled as they reached home. The house is decorated with colorful lights etc. She looked at Shaurya and ask is there any celebration today at home, all decoration etc. what's happening?

He told her you have lots of questions Mrs Khanna? Wait and see. The car reached front porch of the house. Karuna maa and Dolly maasi waiting for them with the aarti plate. Mehak gets down from the car, she touched their feet to get their blessings and hug them tightly saying she missed them a lot. Dolly maasi saying she missed her haldi milk and her naughty talks. Mehak replied now I am back we will continue every day. Then she asked what all decorations etc. is, is it any celebration in house? I asked Shaurya and he didn't reply now you tell me maa she asked Karuna maa? She smiled at her and said its Lohri today. It's your first Lohri after your marriage. Your husband wanted to surprise you and want to celebrate with you that's why he ask me to do the preparations. He told me before leaving prepare for Lohri I will come with my wife, and my son did it, he bring back my daughter on Lohri. I am so happy to see you back home. She hugged and kissed her on her forehead. Now come get freshen up and change clothes. All will be coming soon. Mehak went up to her room. She sat on the bed and inhale a deep breath smiling to herself. She see her room after almost 1 week, flashes of how she and Shaurya argue came into her mind, and she shakes her head off and gets up. Awara came to put her suitcase in the room, he greeted her and she wished him Happy Lohri bhaiya. He said thank you and left the room.

Mehak went to bathroom and freshen up and she checking her wardrobe for suit to wear. She was mumbling to herself, this Shaurya is impossible, always have something to surprise , when he is angry he don't know what is he talking, when he is good mood also he don't know what is he doing. I myself don't understand this Khadoos Kumar's attitude. Need to get a book on 1000 tips and tricks on how to understand Khadoos Khanna or Shaurya Khanna's behavior guide for Dummies. She found a red Patiala suit with green work. She close the wardrobe door and saw Shaurya standing behind the door. She gasped for breath and screaming Matarani. She became pale seeing him. He came closer to her and ask what you are talking to yourself like mental. Her eyes opens wide. When you came? He said from the moment you talking about me I was there. So now you need book to understand me? Mehak gulped her saliva and said yeah it will be better to have books or some information as you always change your mind and your mood. Don't know when it will be good don't know when you will be bad mood. He came closer to her with a naughty smile asking her you don't need book to understand me, just look at my eyes and you can understand all. Mehak's eye lid fluttered as he look deep into her eyes. Dolly maasi called Mehak asking if she is ready, Mehak quickly push him out of the bathroom and lock him out. She dresses up while Shaurya looking through his mobile. She came out and head to the dresser to wear her earrings and bangles. She ask him to stop playing at the mobile and dress up quickly as guest will be coming soon. He purposely came to kiss her she avoided him as she wearing her earring and ask him to go to change. Mehak went down to help Dolly maasi. Karuna maa asking Awara on the preparation of the sargee and all, he confirmed all have been prepared. Shaurya came downstairs changed into a beige kurta with pajama pants. Just then Sharma's came. Mehak gets so happy see them and she hugged each and every one of them. PD kissed Mehak and Shaurya's forehead and blesses them. Kanta chachi asked when both went to Patiala? They both looked at each other. Shaurya quickly replied I ask her to go with Sonal as I was away to Mumbai so once I am back I joined them there, so no worries all okay. Patiala is a good town too. We had lots of fun, the wedding was nice. Your laddoo was dancing like madness got into her. All of them laughed as Mehak leaned and hug PD dearly. By then Mohit, Nehal and Sonal reached Khanna mansion too. Mohit asked all are here what the celebration today is, Shaurya said its Lohri so he wants to celebrate with all the family members. Shaurya asked them to follow to the garden so the bonfire can be lit up. Karuna maa ask Mehak to stand together lit up the bonfire. They lit up the bonfire. Shaurya and Mehak take three rounds (Prakirma) of the holy fire and throw in the popcorn, dry fruits and nuts. After them the other family members did the same. Bhangra dancers and Dhole players were there too. Singing all Lohri songs and dancing with Dhole music. Mehak with Shaurya ask him to dance with her, he just smiled and did light dance with her. Mehak danced with Mohit Jeevan Chachu and Ravi chachu happily. Later she come to bring Karuna maa and Dolly maasi dance together with Kanta chachi and Mansi chachi. Later PD recites the Lohri poem.

Sunder Mundarie Hoy!

Tera ki Vichara, Hoy!

Tera Dulla Bhatti ho!

Ser shakar pai ho!"

Nehal bring Mehak in front and both sisters danced crazily for the Dole. Mehak signs at Shaurya to join he shake his head and ask her to dance. Vicky gets Shaurya to join Mehak both danced happily. He gets Daduji, cha-chas to join them all together. Mohit danced with Sonal as she moves slowly for the rhythm. Once the Dhole slows down, Mehak stops and laugh at Nehal said it's enough. The family proceeded to have dinner. Varieties of food has been served. Just then they want to eat, a car stopped at Khanna Mansion, it was none other than Harish Khanna. Karuna maa rush to him to receive him. Shaurya was not happy to see him. Mehak rush to get his blessings but he just walked away. He asked Karuna maa what is happening here, she replied its Lohri and Shaurya Mehak' first Lohri so everyone is here. He looked at everyone and said you all enjoy the function. He walked into the house, Karuna maa nodded to Mehak and ask her to take care of the guest she will go and check on him. Mehak looked at Shaurya whose eyes already raged in anger. She didn't say anything then she attend to the family members & guests. She saw Karuna maa at kitchen talking with Awara, she walked to the kitchen and asked what is it why look tension. She replied Harish papa wants meat he don't want vegetarian meal. I tried to persuade him but he is not listening. I afraid he will create scene in front of the guest on function day. Then what this Shaurya will do. Mehak understand what is the problem. She thinks what to do, then she got some idea and ask Karuna maa to leave the problem to her she will handle it. Karuna maa confused and asked her are you going to cook meat? Mehak push Karuna maa out of kitchen and ask her to attend the guests she will sort all. Mehak check the fridge and get some vege out, she asked Awara to grate them, she prepare some batter and some dipping sauces. Just then Sonal looking for her and came into the kitchen. She asked her what she is doing. Mehak explained about the situation. She told her that she is doing panneer bites, potato, and cauliflower into meat patties. Hopefully papaji will be happy having this. Just then Shaurya came looking for Mehak at kitchen and asked her what she is doing at kitchen now. She don't know what to answer and said Sonal said she want something else to eat so I am doing something for her, she turned and looked at Sonal said isn't it Sonal, she winked at her. Sonal quickly shakes her head yes, I want something cooked by Mehak that's why. He knows Mehak is up to something and she is not telling the truth. He halfheartedly said okay, just do whatever you guys doing I am leaving, come quickly. Both Sonal and Mehak took a deep breath and said in unison bach gaya.... Mehak ask Sonal to dip into the batter and arrange on the tray. Shaurya was near the fridge hearing them and move forward to the dining area.

She finish prepare the food and arrange it on tray. She ask Sonal to try and tell her how it is. Sonal tried and said, wow yaar, it taste exactly like chicken and kheema. Never imagined with vegetables can do such a delicious meals. Your father in law will approve it and he will accept you as his daughter. I guarantee you. Wow Mehak no wonder you are a celebrity chef's wife, Mehak pouted at her and looked at her work I did but name goes to others. They pass the tray to Awara and ask him to bring that to Harish papaji. Awara bring the trays to him who was sitting alone at another hall. He puts the trays in front of him. Mehak and Sonal sneaks from the door and looked at him. Awara left the place. Harish papaji took one piece and tried, he was amazed and have another bite. He had more. Just then Karuna maa came to check on him. He enjoyed the dishes and said thank you to Karuna to get this delicious chicken lollipop and mutton kheema ready in short span of time. Karuna maa smiled and said it's not prepared by her or Awara but bahu cooked that meal. He looked at her and his face change. She sat next to him and said gently, she is the right person for our family and for our Shaurya. Just be nice with her. You came home after so many months and she is excited to see you back home but you walked away instead blessing her. She won't feel bad but Shaurya will get upset. After what happened to her family, Shaurya wants to give her all the happiness in the world. He did transfer all his property and wealth to her name as he loves her dearly but that child not any moment in a life she changed in her behavior or speak rudely to any of us although she is owning all the wealth of Khanna family. She still jovial and respect each and every one at home. Maybe you should take time to think and accept her as our daughter too. We are old as well don't know when we will go but before that lets make our kids life happy. Saying that to him she gets up and left that place. He sat quietly and starts to think.

Sonal joined others for dinner. Mehak checks at kitchen and moves towards dining area, Shaurya came from nowhere pull her to the store room. He cover her mouth with his palm and grinning wickedly. She push his palm away and looked at him in confusion she asked what you doing? He asked her what you are doing. She responded as nothing just busy as its function house and she is checking and that's all. He pull her closer to his chest, looked deep into her eyes. Mehak try to move but he didn't let her to move. He continues, these rasgullas eyes can't lie and don't try to lie to me. Saw you busy cooking and making something for my dad. Why are you doing all these? As it is its tiring day for you but you went to make new dishes for him. Do you think he will change his mind on you and accept you as daughter in law? He only loves himself and he is like that since I ever know. Mehak cling her arms around Shaurya's neck she caresses his neck gently to cool him down. Mehak said I don't do this so he can accept me as daughter in law Shaurya. I do this so papaji will be happy and he will eat. Think and see he just got back home after 6 months and we are celebrating Lohri here with all guests here he wanted to eat something that he wants and just because it's a vegetarian day we can't serve non vege today. He will be upset right? If he is upset Maa also will be disturbed right? That's why I tried some new technique and tried a new dish which is also healthy for him. I saw him enjoying the food and I am happy that's all I want. Besides that he is my Shaurya's papa. How can I be angry with him? If he didn't accept now it's okay one day it will come he will like me. It's okay to give lots of love to someone one day we will have the love in return to us. Now its festival day don't get upset please she cupped his chin and ask him to smile. He rested his forehead on hers and kissed on her forehead. Then he with his naughty tone asked papa asked for food you prepared for him, but back in Patiala you promised me something remember? She asked curiously what promise. He traces her lips with his long sexy finger, Mehak remembers about their encounter at the hut her cheeks turns red. So now you remember right? Mehak looks down. From outside the store room, Dolly maasi asked Awara did you see Mehak bahu, he answered just now she was here but now don't know where she went. She was calling for Mehak's name as passing the store room both in the store laughing quietly. Shaurya opens the door slowly and he checked if anyone there no one was there so he asked Mehak to go first, she went near the door and came back to him , hold his chin turn to her lips and kiss on the sexy mole above his left lip she curved a smile as she see him , she left. Shaurya smiled alone touching his mole still feeling her lips warmth on him.

Mehak goes out and joined others for dinner. Dolly maasi saw her and asked her where did she went, Mehak said she was in washroom. Dolly maasi asked her to get some food and eat with Shaurya. She gets some food and sat waiting for him to come. Shaurya came and saw her and he was smiling at her. Dolly maasi saw him and ask him to come sit together and eat together. He came and sat next to Mehak, she started to feed him. He feed her as well. In between his finger roam around her arms drawing some patterns. Mehak with her eyes warned him not to do anything. As the dinner over and everyone started to leave. Karuna maa asked Sharma's to join them tomorrow for Makar Sankranti. They wished them and leave Khanna Mansion.

All went into the house, Karuna maa gifted Mehak new dress and jewelries, Mehak said your blessings is the biggest gift in our life why you always giving me so much of all these. I don't wear any of them too. Karuna maa tell her she is her daughter and she will give everything to her. Also elder's gives gifts as blessings too don't say no. Mehak gets her blessings and Karuna maa asked her to go rest as she was travelling and papa like the snacks you prepared. Thank you beta, Mehak kisses on her cheek and wished her good night and left the living room. All retired to their rooms. Vicky and Shaurya came inside home. Vicky asked Shaurya for some time as they need to discuss some urgent matters on White Chilies. Shaurya saw Mehak going upstairs and he moved to the study room to discuss business matters. Mehak at their room put away the gifts on the dressing table, she remove her earrings and bangles. She change to her pajama kurta. She sat on the bed and waited for Shaurya while browsing her mobile. She was seeing the pictures taken back in the Patiala wedding. Nehal did send some pictures taken during Lohri just now. She was seeing and checked the time her eyes get tired and she fell asleep.

After sometime Shaurya came to the room lock the door and saw Mehak was fast asleep. He change his pyjamas and slid next to her, resting on his elbow he tucked the tendrils near her cheek. He planted a kiss on her cheek. Mehak smiled in her sleep and he kissed her fingers watching her sleeping. He drifted to sleep as well.

Next day morning, Mehak wakes up she saw Shaurya's arm was on her waist. She gently move his hand and peck on his jawline. She gets up and goes to freshen up. She came out wiping and detangling her wet hair. She puts on her earrings and bangles. Went near to Shaurya who is still in deep slumber, he was smiling in his sleep and swiftly move to get her mobile and lie next to him taking selfie. Once done she put the mobile away and try to off from the bed but Shaurya held her by her waist and wished her good morning, surprised by his act, Mehak replied good morning patidev. Why you are late today waking up not going for your morning sprint is it. He inhales her hair which smells fruity. He looked at her and smile as he plays with her large earrings. She asked him to get freshen up and come downstairs today is Makar Sankranti. He takes a deep breath and said I don't like Makar Sankranti, she looked at him with question look, he continues because I don't know how to fly the kite. Every time since young I tried flying my kite will snapped half way and all will be laughing and make fun out of me. Also to me it's the most time wasting thing to do. Mehak looked at him and clamp her lips to control from laughing but she couldn't ended up laughing at him. He asked what's so funny now to laugh like that. She said I always fly kites at the society since young with all the neighbors. Jaggu taught me when I was young. But my hubby the business entrepreneur don't know how to fly kite. Then you should come to join me I will teach you how to fly kite. He crushed her body with his and didn't let her to move. He asked her you promise me something and I came to room saw you sleeping. So now you are not going anywhere let's stay at room. Mehak's eye grew big asked him if he crazy or what. All waiting for her and she need to help with the function and he is started talking rubbish. She tries to push him but Shaurya keep being naughty on her grazing her neck with his stubbles and admire her giggles. She asked him to stop it but he ignored till Mehak kiss on his nose. He ask to kiss on lips then only will let her go, she ask him to shower first then only you will get or else none. Before he leaves to shower he pecked on her lips and run to bathroom. Mehak adjusted her dress and check herself at the mirror and gets to the kitchen to check on the preparations.

Shaurya came down wearing kurta. The entire family gathered for breakfast, Mehak was serving breakfast to all. Harish papa also were there. Karuna maa asked Mehak to sit down next to Shaurya and eat together as she will serve all. Harish papa enjoyed the home meal. Dolly maasi asked him how is the food, is been ages since all sit and together like this. He said yes and eating the breakfast, he asked who prepared the breakfast today very tasty, cannot be Awara or yourself Karuna? Karuna maa smiles and says Mehak did all the breakfast, since she is came here I hardly enters the kitchen. He looked at Mehak and said its nice bahu and continue to eat. Mehak smiles as Shaurya looks on. Dolly maasi said quickly eat and come let's go play kites. Weather looks good. Shall we do competition? Vicky said maasi we all don't know about this kite flying maybe we just watch, she looked at Shaurya, and he said I am also not in the mood for kites. Mehak interrupts and said maasi don't ask these two brothers lets go and enjoy ourselves.
