Subi was in kitchen where other ladies were making preparation for her, she went to her mother in laws and took blessings. Both maa and choti maa patted her cheeks with smile. While Riddhi and Ritu hugged her wishing a good morning.

"Toh BATAO, mitthe main kya banaogi, pehli rasoi ke liye?", maa asked her.
Heading this her whole face lightened up, she loves cooking, especially when it's something sweet.( So what are you going to make?)

"Maa main Halwa banau, aapko pata hai ghar main sabko mere hath ka halwa bohot pasand hai..especially bade papa ko", maa and choto maa chuckled seeing her enthusiasm. "Okay, we'll help you with the rest, "nahi maa aap sab jaiye main sab kar lungi,", Lekin bache itna sab akele kaise...",her mother in law was saying but she didn't listen, at the end they all left her alone.

Giving herself a prep talk, she tucked her saree's pallu to her waist band. Tieing her long hair in a bun. She started her work. Within an hour she was done with almost everything. Now all that left was Halwa.

She was halfway to making it when she turned to add some yellow food colour. She was rummaging through the spices when she saw it next to hing in a corner of the the spice cabinet.

She was about pick it when she felt someone's close proximity she suddenly turned only to collide into a strong chest. He held her in his arms to stable her.

"Aap...kuch chahiye?", she asked nervously. "Coffee", "okay, 10min, abhi lai", she said turning away, when he pulled her back from her wrist. Subí's hands were on his chest. Her eyes went wide.

Nirmaan enjoying her blushing state to every extent. Moving his hand from her right shoulder to her bare waist. With the back of his fingers from her waist to her belly button and slowly brushing to her waist band. He removed her tucked pallu out from waist and opening her hair to fall back covering her deep blouse and whispered, " no one is allowed to see you, other than me", and kissed her earlobe.

He left but, Subí's feet were fixed on the spot, she was too stunned to even process everything let alone react.

Absent minded and lost in her thoughts she prepared Halwa and coffee. Just when she finished Riddhi came in. "Bhabi, you done?", she nodded her head in yes, Riddhi picked the lids one by one.. "waah bhabi! , aaj toh bhaiya aapke hath hi chum lenge,kya khushbu hai",

"Riddhi?", "hmm?", Riddhi hummed busy in transferring the food in bowls.
"Kuch gadbad to nahi hogi na?", she asked nervously biting her nails.

"Don't worry bhabi,kuch nahi hoga, aapko pata hai maine toh galti se kheer main namak dal dia tha, itni nervous thi, phir bhi kudi ne kuch nahi kaha..."
Riddhi told with a smile, "Seriously?",Subi asked with a shock.
"Nahi...main to sirf aapka mood lift kar rahi thi,let's go now, everyone is waiting, it's already 9:30, everyone is already late for work."

Hurrying they placed everything on the dining table. Maa, choti maa, papa, chote papa, bua ji and Dadu came along with all young gang for breakfast.

"Kya kya banaya hai", Akash asked.
Riddhi opened the lids and the fragrance of food spread across the table hitting their nostrils.The food was looking mouthwatering.
