After Raj complimented me, I shyly rushed out of the room and went towards the kitchen, I saw Mumma is already in the kitchen, with a maid, both of them are preparing the breakfast,

"Good morning Mumma", I greeted her and bend down to touch her feet,

Mumma stopped me midway while holding my shoulders and didn't let me touch her feet,

"Good morning beta and you don't have to do this, you are my daughter just like Riya and my blessings are always with you", said Mumma and I nodded my head,

"What's there in today's breakfast menu?", I asked to change the topic,

"Whatever you will like to have, We will make that for you", said Mumma,

"Ummm", I kept my thumb under my chin and started dabbing my cheek using my forefinger 🤔,

"Good morning mom, good morning Bhabhi", said Riya while entering inside the kitchen,

"Good morning", both me and Mumma greeted her,

"Mom I am super hungry, what's in the breakfast?", Asked Riya impatiently and went towards the kitchen counter to check,

"Waoo! Poha, yummy!", Said Riya excitedly,

I also went towards the kitchen counter and noticed that Mumma didn't prepared my poha partner that is butter milk,

"Mumma, C..can I make some butter milk?", I asked hesitatingly,

"Yes beta, this is now your kitchen, you can make anything whatever you want", said Mumma,

I smiled and went towards the refrigerator, I took out the curd, I am in confusion, should I prepare butter milk for everyone or only for myself?,

"Mumma", I called her,

"Yes beta?" She asked,

"Ummmm! You all will also like to drink butter milk with Poha?", I asked hesitatingly,

"Yes, we will love to", said Mumma cheerfully,

I sighed in relief and made it for everyone,

I feel so lucky to have a Sasuma (mother-in-law) like Mumma, she never let me feel awkward and always cheer up my mood,

Me and Mumma arrange the breakfast on the dinning table, After some time Papaji came and sit down on the head of the family chair,

"Good morning Papaji", I said and touched his feet,

"Bless you beta but please don't touch my feet, I feel like I am very old, which definitely I am not, you see my biceps", said Papaji while showing his non existing biceps,

"Hahahaha, accept it Mr Tandel you are an old man now", said Mumma,

"What! No, not at all, you are an old woman, Budhiya, I am still young and full of life", papaji defended himself,

(Budhiya/Budhi = old woman)

"Budhiya, how dare you call me budhiya, you Budha", said Mumma angrily,

(Budha = old man)

I tried hard to suppress my laugh, now I understand why Raj and Riya fight like all the time, it's because they have it in their genes,

"For your kind information, first you call me Budha then I call you Budhiya, if I am Budha then you are also my Budhi", said Papaji,

"Urrrrr! One more time you call me Budhi, I will surely kill you", said Mumma angrily while I silently enjoy their Tom and Jerry fight,

"Budhi, Budhi, Budhi", said Papaji teasingly,

"Youuuuu", shouted Mumma angrily and rushed towards Papaji,

Papaji stood up from his seat and started circling around the dinning table, running away from Mumma, to safe his life, Mumma tried hard to catch Papaji,

"Sunil, wait! I will kill you with my bare hands", threatened Mumma while clutching her stomach,

"Itna jaldi thak gai Budhiya", Teased Papaji,

(Get tired so soon you old woman)

"Oh God! What's happening here?", Asked Raj shockingly while seeing their parents chasing eachother,

"Raj tell your father if he wants to stay alive then stop calling me Budhi", said Mumma,

"First you called me an old man and now putting all the allegations on me", complained Papaji,

Raj looked at me questioningly and mouthed, 'what's going on?',

'Live show', I mouthed and smiled,

"Haaww! We both are fighting on such a serious topic and you both are making fun of us", said Mumma seriously,

Both me and Raj looked at each other confusedly and then towards Mumma and Papaji, they were looking at us angrily, actually not at us they were only looking at me,

"No Mumma, it..it..it's nothing like that", I said hesitantly and lowered my head just like an innocent kid does, when they do any mistake and were ready to get scold,

Suddenly I heard loud laughing sounds, I lifted up my head and saw that Mumma, Papaji and Raj, all three of them are laughing,

I looked at them confusedly,

"Oh God! You are so naive, they were just pulling your leg", said Raj,

I smiled sheepishly and lowered my head shyly,

After that all four of us sit down and ate our breakfast,

"Where is Riya?", Enquired Papaji,

"Your daughter was so hungry, she could not wait and already have her breakfast", informed Mumma,

After breakfast Papaji and Raj went to the office and Mumma fulfilled her promise and gave me a tour of full house,

This house is bigger than my old house,

On the ground floor there are seven rooms in total,

• Mumma and papaji's room,

• Guest room,

• Store room,

• Pooja room,

• Kitchen,

• Dinning room and

• Living room,

while there is a huge and very pretty garden on the back yard,

On first floor there are four rooms in total,

• Riya's room,

• Raj & Mine room and

• Two guest rooms,

The terrace is the best part of this entire house, there is a room made up of glass on the terrace and a three seater swing and also a mini dinning area,

Mumma said that sometimes they all prefer having their dinner on the terrace, specially when the weather is awesome, that's why Papaji specially asked the designer to make something like this,

After house tour Mumma helped me to arrange my clothes inside my wardrobe, then we both prepare lunch, but unfortunately because of a lots of pending work, Raj and Papaji were not able to come to eat, so they send one of their employee to fetch their lunch, we packed their meal and handed it to that employee,

After that Mumma, me and Riya prepare the list of items for Riya's wedding shopping and thanks to God because of my school and coaching, I am not accompanying them in their shopping task,

After the preparation of shopping list, all three of us, together, prepared the dinner and now I am in my balcony leaning on the railing and enjoying the cool evening breeze while listening some soothing music, from my favourite playlist,

_______________________________________

The whole day was very hectic and full of work, now it's 7PM and I am driving my car while dad is sleeping on the passenger seat, today was no less tiring day for dad also, even we didn't get time to come back home for having our lunch and send one of our staff to fetch our lunch,

I halted my car Infront of the house and shook dad a little bit,

"Dad we reached", I said,

He opened his eyes and looked at me questioningly, I pointed my finger towards the house, he turned his head,

"Ahh! We reached home, but I wanted to sleep for some more time", said Dad disappointedly,

"Oh! come on Dad, go and sleep on your bed", I said,

"But the passenger seat of your car is so comfortable, hey but it doesn't mean that you start making babies here with your wife, you love birds, don't you dare spoil my comfy seat cum bed", said Dad and I looked at him shockingly with both my mouth and my eyes wide open,

"What?", Asked Dad and get out of the car while I stayed there in shock processing his words,

Oh God! My parents are surely gone crazy, in the morning they were fighting like kids and just now what Dad said is left me awestruck, I shook my head and clear all those thoughts and came out of the car,

I saw mom sitting on the couch while reading some magazine,

"Hey mom", I said and sat beside her,

She lifted up her head and smiled,

"Tiring day?", Asked Mom,

I nodded my head in approval,

"Go and freshen up, until I preheat the dinner", said Mom,

I nodded my head and went towards my room,

The moment I entered inside the room I heard a very sweet humming sound, I realised it's coming from the balcony, I went forward and smiled after watching my beautiful wife who is busy in listening music and humming along with it,

(Imagine Karuna humming)

The song is so tempting, I just can't resist my self to hug her and at the same time I don't want to scared her or make her feel uncomfortable like yesterday,

I slowly went towards her and carefully encircled my arms around her waist, she gasped and stopped singing and to make her comfortable I continued from where she left,

Hmko Mili hai aaj

Ye ghadiya naseeb se

Ji bhar ke dekh lijiye

Hmko kareeb se

Phir Apke naseeb mein

Ye baat ho na ho

(Imagine Raj singing)

She leaned a little bit on my chest and grabbed my hands tightly which were resting on her waist and continue to sing with me,

Shayad fir is janam mein

Mulakat ho na ho

Lag ja gale ki fir

Ye hasi Raat ho na ho

Shayad fir is janam mein

Mulakat ho na ho.

(Imagine both Raj and Karuna singing together)

I rested my chin on her shoulder and she lean her head towards mine, I am in cloud nine, after seeing her accepting my touches, without being uncomfortable, it's a victory for me,

"I didn't knew, my wife have such a beautiful voice", I wishpered,

"Well, my husband is also not a bad singer", she replied,

"Well, I guess, It's all your charm, my dear Lata Mangesh Kar", I said and she giggled,

"How was your day?, Did you miss me?", I asked,

"No not at all, why will I miss you?", Said Una

"Ohh!", I said sadly,

She turned around and pulled my cheeks,

"You are so cute, why will I miss you when I never forget about you", she said,

"Aacha, I am cute?", I asked teasingly and started tickling her,

"Raaj...stooop...Hahaha...Raaaaj...hehehe...pleassseeee...stoooop...hahahehe", she begged while laughing,

"No, first say that I am very handsome man", I said,

"Noooo...this...hahaha..is..heheh..not...hahahaha...fair", said Una,

"Okay okay I am saying", she said and I stopped tickling her,

She clutched her stomach and compose herself while I leaned on the railing beside her, waiting for her to say,

After breathing for few seconds, she suddenly ran out of the balcony, I followed her to grab but before I can catch her she went out of the room,

"Will catch you later wifey", I shouted,

"Will see Mr", she backfired and went downstairs,

After she left I changed my clothes and went downstairs, I saw Dad and Riya watching something on the television, I sat down beside Riya,

"Hi Jangali Billi", I said to Riya while hitting her head lightly, I love to irritate her,

(Jangali Billi = wild cat 🐈)

"Bhag Yaha se Jangali suwar", said Riya irritatedly,

(Jangali suwar = wild pig 🐖)

"Riya, mind your language", said Mom,

"First Bhai started Mom", complained Riya,

"No Mom I am innocent", I said innocently,

"Very nice joke Bhai, you and innocent, haha", said Riya sarcastically while Una giggled,

"See even Bhabhi also agree with me", said Riya,

"She laughed on your stupidity", I defended myself,

"No, she laughed because she knows that I am saying correct", said Riya,

"Enough both of you, no more fighting, dinner is ready so let's go", said Mom strictly,

All of us obey her order and went towards the dinning room while Riya struck out her tounge on me and I pulled her pony tail and she shouted,

"Aaauuu"

"Don't you understand what I said", Mom threatened us and then we silently followed her,

After dinner I came to my room and lied down on the bed, because of tiring day my eyes started getting heavier, I wanted to wait for Una but I failed and fall asleep,

_______________________________________

I helped Mumma to finish all the remaining kitchen stuff and then came back to my room, I see that my husband have already slept peacefully, I changed my clothes and join him to fall in my own slumber,

I woke up early in the morning, even before the alarm buzzed, I am very excited, finally after so long I am going back to my job, I miss my students,

Hurriedly I took my shower, today I will have to wear saree and I can't wear it inside the washroom, so I want to get ready before Raj wakes up,

I silently came out of the washroom and sighed in relief after watching Raj still sleeping, soon I wear the saree and did my makeup,

After getting ready I have a final look on the mirror then I realised that I forget to apply sindoor (vermilion), it will take time for me to get habitual of it, I took out the sindoor box and applied some, I wish Raj was awake, like yesterday he would have applied it today also,

I went downstairs and went towards the kitchen, I saw no one is there, I think everyone is still sleeping, I still have one hour in my hand before leaving for my job, so I thought to prepare the breakfast for everyone,

Soon I make the batter for pancakes and started making some for myself, successfully I made two and when I was going to make the third one, suddenly I felt a pair of arms encircled around my waist, and I know whose hands are these,

"Raj leave me or else I will get late for my job", I said,

"Why didn't you wake me up, now bear the consequences", said Raj,

"Leave me or I will shout", I threatened,

"My dear wifey, for your kind information, there is a very slight difference between moaning and shouting, and I am very well aware about the naughty minds of my parents and my only sister, so if you want to embarrass yourself, Infront of them, then go ahead and shout", said Raj,

"Urrrrr! Raj, What you want?", I asked irritatedly,

"You know what I want baby", wishpered Raj seductively,

My whole body became stiff and my heart beat increased, I remember how I behaved inside the car when he asked me to kiss him,

"Relax baby, relax", wishpered Raj closer to my ear,

I grabbed the kitchen counter tightly, Raj kept his hand above mine and I loosened my grip from the counter, he grabbed my shoulder and turn me around, so that I can face him, I have kept my head low, Raj kept his palm under my chin and lifted my face,

"Look at me sweetheart", said Raj,

I obeyed him and peeped inside his eyes, which is full of love and care for me, after looking into his eyes, I became comfortable and a new sort of confidence and courage rushed inside me, I slowly leaned over him and kissed his cheek and noticed that Raj smiled,

I moved away and blushed,

"Uuuhuu uuuhuuu", someone coughed,

Me and Raj jerked away from each other and saw that Riya is standing on the entrance of the kitchen while hiding her eyes using her palm,

"Sorry sorry, you guys continue, I will come after sometime", said Riya and went away,

I turn around embarrassedly and Raj rushed out of the kitchen behind Riya,

I made pancakes for everyone and we all eat our breakfast silently while Riya winked at me whenever we share an eye contact which makes me blush and the colour of my cheeks turns like a cherry,

Raj dropped me at the school and said that he will also come to pick me, while I said that it's not required, I can go by myself, but he is firm on his decision and said no more arguments,

All my students celebrated for me and my new life, they made me cut the cake, many of them gave me a card of 'All the best for your wedding life', while some of them gave me roses, chocolates, etc, Today school was fun,
