Riya's pov

A week later.................

"mom everything is ready.." i told mom.

Akash's Dadi, (grandma) was coming today papa and Akash both had gone to receive her.

Me and Akash came her to stay for few days as dadi will be living here

Day after tomorrow is party which is kept to announce my and Akash marriage, all Akash families and relatives will be there.

As we waited for dadi to arrive i saw how mom was pacing, she looked worried from yesterday. And Akash also explained me how mom and dadi relationship is.

And that made me worried and wonder at the same time whether she will accept me or not.

My Pam got wet due to nervousness.

Bell rang i raise from sofa to open the door.

"oo god she is here"! Said mom

As we opened the door papa and Akash were standing and in middle was dadi, she was wearing a cream plain cotton sare, her overall appearance look of a woman who believes in traditional values.

Akash brought her in and she seated on sofa.

Mom took her blessings touching her feet.

"bless you" dadi said and narrowed her eyes on mom, and mom already look pale.

I was above to go and take her blessings but Akash interrupt.

"pumpkin..!..." he said and i looked at him wide eyes then i notice he called dadi pumpkin and i thought he called me that.

I smiled, it was actually very cute. "yes chote?" dadi said (chote = little one).

Akash pulled me closer to dadi and introduce me " pumpkin this is my Riya" he said and my heart flutter, i will never get use to his endearment.

I touch dadi's feet to take her blessings.

"bless you" dadi said taking my hand and making me seat beside her. She put her hand on my cheek. " your Riya is very pretty chote" dadi said.

I smiled at her, instantly missing her warm touch as she withdraw her hand. She remind me soo much about my ma.

"ok, i am tried I'll rest for a while, Nina......! I hope my room is ready?.!" dadi asked... Mom,

"yes... Yes...!" mom said quickly.

Akash went with dadi to her room with her luggage.

Once dadi left mom slump down on soafa with huff " did you see Aravind she also likes Riya now, it's only me...! Mom said to dad.

Dad just shook his head and smiled "beauty, it's nothing like that" dad tried to convince mom.

I move from there to bedroom.

In this past week me and Akash as come more closer if possible, we both always want to be in each other's presence, hold each other, cuddle.

And unlimited kisses that we share, i have numerous time said the three words to Akash, but he never said it once. I know he will one day, but he shows me he's love thru his kisses, care whenever i told him i love you.

My thoughts drift to dadi, i noticed that dadi and Akash share very strong bond.

I wish now ma was hear, dadi is so much like ma.

I was so deep in thought, that i didn't notice when, Akash came in room and was now hugging me from behind, his chin resting on my shoulder, while his hands caressing my waist.

"dadi slept..? " i asked him...

"hmmmm....." he said his chest behind my back vibrating when he hum.

"what where you thinking?" he asked turning me around to face him.

His one hand now resting on my lower back while other brushing the trance of my hair.

" dadi reminds me of ma" i said quietly.

He touched my lower lips with his thumb.

"dadi likes you.." he said his eyes drifting from my eyes to my lips.

My own breathing started to get heavy.

"she wants to spend some alone time with you" he told me.

I was more than happy to spend time with dadi.

"ok, when she will wake up ill go meet her" i told Akash.

" can i kiss you..?" Akash said, i smiled at him "from when did you needed my permission" i said putting my hands around his neck.

" because i am gentleman" he said brushing his lips on my.

" i know even if i had said no you'll kiss me" i said pulling little away from him but he tighten his hold on me slightly raising me up that now i was on my toes.

"Right" he said and without waiting any longer he engulf my lips in his mouth. I fist his hair in my hand as pleasure stood through my body.

He turned us around and pushed me on the wall, seconds later his body pressed into mine, his hard chest touching my soft bossom. I moan his name as he deepen our kiss.

His hand slip inside my top, and my legs gave out, Akash now started giving me feathers light kisses around my neck.

His warm hands which were caressing my waist was now moving upward dangerously close to my breast.

As he was above to go further, and me having a mini heart attack.

This phone rang, Akash cursed loudly, his head resting on my both our breathing weew labour, mingling with each other.

I freed myself from Akash and he went to talk on his phone.

I was still out of breath, flushed.

Knocking slightly on door i entered the room, "dadi" i called dadi looked up at me as she was sitting on bed,

I sat silently as she blow air and took sip of her tea "perfect" she said "did you make it" she asked me, i node my head yes.

Smiling at me she again started taking sips, once she finished ahe kept the cup on table.

"so, Riya tell me about your family, who all i there?" she asked i gulped mu smile dying instantly.

But i remember that god has given me new family now.

" mom, papa, Akash and you these are my family members" i said smiling brightly.

Dadi was staring at me more like observing me. A small smile on her lips.

" what about your parents Riya?" dadi asked again, i sigh before telling her.

" my parents died when i was child i don't even remember them, i was raised by my grandma, but she also left me after my wedding." i said quietly filging with my fingers.

"i am sorry, dear i didnt new" she said holding my hand.

"it's ok dadi, beside i have you all to take care of me and love me" i said smiling brightly.

"Thank you, for coming in mu Akash life" she said cupping my face in her hands and kissing my forehead.

I furrow at her she smiled at me again before continuing " you have brought my Akash back, the one which was lost after that incident." and i understood what she meant.

We talk for a while, she told me many new things about Akash.

"you know how much Akash loves food, specially sweets, he use to fake ill so that he can demand kheer (kheer = indian rise pudding ) from me" she told me.

I giggle at that, yes he can't control he's hunger at all, but he don't even remember to eat when he is deep in his work.

"i was thinking of making him kheer today for dinner" dadi told me.

"dadi" i bit my lips nervously " would you teach me how to make it" i asked her.

" sure...!" she said excited "let's go get started she said and we both headed towards kitchen.

He had gone to office to complete some important documents but as soon as he smelled the aroma of KHEER he had directly barge into kitchen.

"Akash......!" i said sternly when he started opening the container. He looked at me like a excited kid waiting for his favorite candy.

"Frist go get fresh... Then only you will get to eat kheer" i said.

"no Frist kheer....." he said stubbornly.

"Akash...!" i glared at him he made a sad face and went to room.

I turned around and heat rush to my face. I didn't realized that dadi, nad mom both were present in kitchen.

'Oo god, what was i thinking ordering, Akash in front of his dadi and mom'

I heard giggling sound and raise my head to sea both were now laughing at me.

Soon dinner was set and Akash started with kheer directly " wow pumpkin your the best, thank you for making kheer" he said and bit my slips.

"no chote i didnt made kheer, Riya did, she insisted to teach her. " dadi told Akash.

"What, really" asked Akash.

"no.. No... Dadi instructed me, i just helped her" i told him.

" thank you dadi, for teaching Riya, Now i can demand kheer from her every day" he said a d started having second bowl already.

Papa also praise me. After finishing dinner we headed to our rooms as tomorrow every one was going to be busy for day after tomorrow's event.

After trying dozens of dresses Finally we selected black and grey gown which had upper half was black lace.

After doing some fitting we went to parlor , we're mom instructed whole lot of things to the lady after that 3 hours was like torture.

When we came home it was already dinner time, i missed Akash whole day, once i was inside the room after dinner.

Akash had pulled me and kissed the hell out of me.

Right now we were cuddling with each other, while Akash was playing with my hairs.

"your hair feels more soft, and your skin too." he said in my ears.

We slept as tomorrow was a big day.
