Oberoi's Ardhangini

CH | 13

Pranavi set the dining table with the dishes she prepared and gave last-minute touch-ups to make it flawless.

Though the house had numerous maids and chefs, Pranavi thought it would be better to cook by herself since she was their daughter-in-law and it was her first day!

Moreover, cooking always distracts her from her troubles. Instead of staying with Jwalin in their room and facing his wrath, she chose to spend her time making her favorite cuisine.

After she was satisfied with her work, she decided to call Aditi.

Since Pranavi only spoke to Aditi apart from Jwalin in that house, she felt Aditi was approachable!

With that, she strode to Aditi's room, and knocked a couple of times, and heard a quick "Come in."

Carefully, Pranavi opened the door and walked in when the pleasing sight in Aditi's room fascinated her.

"You're designing?" Pranavi couldn't help but ask in curiosity.

Hearing the sweet voice, Aditi stopped what she was doing and lifted her head, "sister-in-law?"

"Hm. Did I disturb you?" Pranavi asked, feeling slightly conscious. Because although Aditi was nice to her, she couldn't help but be aware of her actions.

"Nope. I'm just redoing some designs." Aditi gave a slight chuckle and grasped Pranavi's hands and dragged her to the dress.

Pranavi was stunned by the sudden closeness but she soon adjusted to it and Aditi asked while pointing her finger to the dress, "How is it?"

Pranavi glanced at the beautiful royal blue gown embellished with diamonds with extricating designs highlighting the dress. She murmured excitedly, "That's just awesome!"

Though Pranavi never wore such exquisite dresses, she was well aware of the fashion trends and she had a good eye!

"That's a relief," Aditi mumbled and shook her head with ease as the tension in her muscles vanished.

Seeing her like that, Pranavi remembered why she was there in the first place and announced, "Hey, I actually came here to call you for breakfast."

Gazing at the hanging wall clock in the room, Aditi yelled in surprise, "It's already 08:30 am?"

Pranavi gave a slight nod and Aditi quickly followed her.

While they were coming down, Pranavi queried, "Should I call the rest of the members or will they come?"

Aditi shook her head in denial, "It's our usual time for breakfast. They will come on their own."

Pranavi sighed in relief and rechecked the dishes to make sure they were good to taste.

Soon, Nishitha, Sonali, Gautam, and Tushar descended the stairs and occupied their seats. The air was filled with mouth-watering aroma from the dishes to them.

Eyeing their reactions, Aditi asked Sonali with a smirk, "Mom, do you know who cooked today?"

Hearing her question, Sonali gave a bewildered look, while Pranavi remained flabbergasted.

"God, what was she trying to do now?" Pranavi muttered under her breath since she wasn't used to all the attention.

Moreover, she was sure if Jwalin saw such a scene, then it'd be a disaster for her.

Imagining that, she became worried when her subconscious mocked, "What an awesome start to the day!"

"You just shut up." Pranavi retorted to be sane and to not make any stupid mistakes in front of them.
