Start from the beginning
                                    

"Kya kya bhejwaya Bahu ke mayke Wale ne?".

Abhigyan gulped his food and replied in a curt tone,

"Kapre bhejwaye hai sabhi ke liye, fal bhejwaye hai do bori."

Surekha chuckled,

"Ghar ki badi Bahu ke mayke se bas itna samaan?"

Abhigyan looked at Priya for once, whose face was hidden partially by veil, still he understood that she must be feeling awkward listening to this conversation.

He replied to his mother,

"Aur bhejwa rahe the, humne mana kar diya. Hume Kami thodi hai kisi bhi cheez ki."

His mother, without wanting, just nodded her head and spoke,

"Haan, bas ek waarish mil jaye iss Ghar ko."

He stayed silent, focussing on his food.

After they finished eating their food, they washed their hands.

While Abhisar moved to his room, Abhigyan just murmured to Priya,

"Aap jaiye kamre me, hum kuch der maa ke paas baithte hai."

She nodded.

Moving to the kitchen, she first cleaned the utensils and checked all the locks of the house, which took her enough time. She used the bathroom.

When she returned back and was about to take out her clothes from the cupboard, Abhigyan entered in.

He closed the door behind him and asked her in a low voice,

"Aapne khana nahi khaya?".

She shook her head and replied,

"Sham ko naashta Kiya tha, maa ji ke saath, bhook nahi tha hume."

He nodded.

Coming inside, he pulled off his kurta from the body and kept it on the chair.

He rested his body on the bed, placing his hands below his head and staring at Priya.

She felt timid infront of him to change and started walking outside, but stopped when she heard his deep voice,

"Kahan Jaa Rahi hai?".

She gulped and replied,

"To change my saree."

In the same deep voice he spoke,

"Yahin kamre me badal lijiye, humne toh dekha hi hai aapko."

She shook her head.

"Don't be shy," he replied.

When he saw her still in the same place, he stood up from the bed and moved near her.
