Made For Each Other

Part-1b : Tied By Love Not Just Vows

The four of them reached “The Richmond Grand Society” which had all the facilities like gym, swimming pool, garden, terrace and even a party hall due to which it was one of the best society of Ahmedabad. The four of them were amazed to see the beauty of the house & took a tour of the house and appreciated the person’s taste who was in charge of its interior design. Being tired from the long journey, they decided to sleep and set the house the next day. Rishita had just came out after freshening up & glanced at Dev whose face said that he wanted to say something to her but wasn't saying anything which made her curious and she directly asked him to which he asked her if she would shift to another room when they would be alone hearing which she was initially silent which made him anxious but later she nodded negatively which brought a million dollar smile on his face. Next day around 7 am, Dev’s sleep was broken by a melodious voice singing morning aarti.

He soon realised that this voice was coming from their home only and went to check, both the brothers were astonished to see the sisters awake early morning doing pooja and Rishita singing melodiously, Rishita gave prasad to both of them and as per his nature Krish mockingly joked about Rishita waking up early for the first time in these many months of her marriage and hiding her singing talent and about her cooking skills. Not able to bear her sister being taunted & compared unnecessarily Kirti gave a befitting reply to Krish which shut him completely.

Kirti : Actually ! Our parents have thought us that we should wake up early & must pray to God before starting our day but mustn't neglect our health for this or for any other reason. Since when we will stay healthy then only we can take care of others & to maintain a balance between being good and being excessively good. Also it has been so many months of my sister's marriage and you don't even know that my sister sings & cooks well infact she loves cooking. Now don't say that after marriage my sister's habits have changed.

Dev (trying to handle the situation) : Rishita ! This suji halwa tastes different from the one bhabhi makes. Have you added some other ingredient also ?

Rishita : Yes, I’ve added walnuts in it.

Kirti (chimming in) : Yes, papa loves walnuts in halwa and me & him love the food cooked by di and before her marriage di only used to cook. Di always cook according to papa's likes and dislikes.

Dev (Muttering) : If she will still take care of her father's likes then when will she take care of her baby’s father's likes.

Rishita : Did you said something? Dev nodded negatively to which Rishita didn't say anything. Kirti ! Let's make breakfast.

Rishita said this indicating Kirti to let go off the topic and the sisters went to the kitchen after asking if they would have kachoris & aloo sabzi in breakfast to which the brothers nodded and went to their rooms to get ready. Later, all enjoyed spicy kachoris and tangy Aloo sabzi and then both the sisters started setting the kitchen while the brothers went to buy groceries and vegetables. By night they completely organised the kitchen & hall and in their room Dev asked Rishita why did she hide the fact that she know cooking or never made anything for them before coming here, to which she clearly stated that after their marriage she cooked three times, first time she made sandwiches for all when they were going to haveli but only he & Raavi took them while the rest refused as Dhara found fault in them as she didn’t took her advice while preparing them. That's why she made pizza and shake for both of them only during her first rasoi but all behaved as if she did a crime in wanting to spend some alone time with her own husband especially Gaura who themselves sometimes alone eat chaat when they would go out & won't tell anyone then what's wrong if she wanted to eat with her husband and when following Dhara’s order she cooked for only both of them then he didn't eat that food & if he didn’t like it he could've told her to make something else but instead he ate the food made by Dhara and even she had cooked for all after herself saying that all would cook separately and if she loved all so much that she couldn't stop herself from cooking for all then she shouldn't have taken such step at first place & if she wanted everyone's happiness & peace in family then she should've been firm on her decision. Not wanting to be misunderstood Rishita clearly said that she is fine if all including he also prefer Dhara’s food and wants to eat only her cooked food. But since she doesn’t like wastage of food, efforts, time and energy she pretended that she doesn't know cooking as it won't make any difference. Without giving Dev a chance to say something, Rishita slept after turning her face to other side, leaving him to realise his folly and how in an urge to value Dhara’s love, importance & sacrifices and not to hurt her neither intentionally nor unintentionally they especially he have end up hurting Rishita very much due to his inability to maintain a balance between relationships. It has been one week of Dishita coming here and they have started interacting with few of their neighbours during their visits to temple, walks in garden or around pool and exercise in gym, Dev would daily make milkshake for the couple at night and they would sit in the balcony sometimes reminscing the beautiful memories of past and sometimes talk about their baby. The couple themselves had decorated their room according to their taste and were genuinely happy while doing this and this increased Dev’s hope that with time & efforts he would be able to save their marriage though Rishita never gave any reaction to his efforts but he was aware that she was noticing everything.
