****
Arnav entered his room when he saw khushi sitting with a veil. his anger rose upon seeing her

"Go and change your clothes. I hate to see you in this wedding attire now" Arnav said controlling His anger and walking towards the bed .

But there was no response to his words. his anger increased now . He proceeded towards Khushi and lifted the veil to see a cute scene in front of his eyes . Khushi has dozed off in the veil . he admired her for a minute .

"Khushi .. getup and change your damn clothes" Arnav screamed to wake her up in which he succeeded

" what happened ?" Khushi woke up with a jerk only to face Arnav

"I said change your clothes now ..and I won't repeat it again" Arnav said making Khushi irk on his behaviour

"Lord governor " Khushi muttered and went to change the heavy lehnga.while Arnav made a wall of pillows In the bed

when khushi came back she saw that arnav has already slept . watching some space left in the bed with a wall of pillows she happily laid in the bed .

"I thought of revenging him/her but what could be bigger punishment for myself than sharing a room with him/her" Both Arshi thought before going into an deep slumber as it was tiring day for both of them

****

khushi woke up and saw that arnav was not present in the room

"Thank you devi maiyya ..!! that Lord governor is not there or else my morning would have been spoiled" khushi thanked devi maiyya and proceeded to freshenup
khushi wore green Saree with minimal makeup and Jewellry.

when khushi went outside she saw the whole family was gathered and talking. she further noticed that all the men were absent . which meant that everyone went for work .she happily went and took everyone's blessings after greeting them good morning . it was indeed good morning for her as didint have to face Lord governor

"Bitiya . i know whatever happened yesterday was unforgettable but i know one you are one of the wise girls and I'm sure you'll accept this family" Nani said caressing khushi's head

"consider this family as yours now beta" manorma said agreeing with her sasumas words to which khushi could happily nod

"you know what khushi yesterday I thought on This matter very much and I concluded that I should apologise on chottes behalf" Kamya said in an apologising tone

"no mom. if your son behaves the wrong way it's not your fault , moreover I'm overwhelmed to have such a sweet family"khushi said getiing immense love and care from each member of family

"for the first time I'm not much angry on chottes decision because you're perfect bahu for this house khushi" Kamya said cupping khushi's cheeks

"khushi beta . I know that the marraige didn't happend under good circumstances but i want to do every post-marraige ritual with my bahu. your sasuma's will give you the knowledge about the rituals" Nani said assuring khushi that everyone will help her in this house

"so khushi it's your pehli rasoi today. servants will prepare breakfast meanwhile you prepare some sweet dish today" Kamya said explaining the first post-marraige ritual to khushi

"Hello hi bye bye .if you need any help you can ask us anytime" manorama said in her usual tone

Khushi's face litup hearing rituals . it means she'll do pagh-phera ritual also and that means she'll get to meet her chutki .

kitchen

khushi was humming a song while preparing kheer as she was in a happy mood .

"Bhabhi . you seem so happy" Anjali said hearing khushi humming a song

" yup I'm . waise Anjali tell me one thing do the men in these house leave so early to office" khushi asked while preparing the kheer

" No bhabhi . Bade papa being businessman of the year likes to be fit and healthy .
so, he takes boys with him for a daily 1 hour jogging" explained Anjali while sitting on the kitchen counter

"Papa does good with these boys . They deserve this for being khadoos" Khushi murmured remembering Arnav

"Did you said something bhabhi" Anjali purposely asked even after hearing khushi's
muttering

" No" khushi clearly refused and started serving the kheer in a dish

"seems my bhaiya is being missed" Anjali teased khushi while she left the kitchen to get some kheer bowls

****

Dining table

everyone was present in the dining table and were waiting to taste Khushi's pehli rasoi. they were waiting for Nk

"Sorry I'm late" Nk said rushing towards the table. it was rule in the family that No one eats with even a single family member not being present

"No nanheji. you are on time" khushi tried to coverup for his devarji to save him from deathly glares of manohar

khushi was about to serve kheer to everyone when Nk yelled

"Kheer. my favourite. that too you made it bhabhi . I'm sure it'll be tasty " Nk couldn't control after watching his favourite kheer

"Bhabhi .pls Serve the kheer to nanheji first or else he'll keep on blabbering" Akash said and khushi nodded her head in positive and served the kheer to Nk first

All this while Arnav had an evil smirk in his face . khushi noticed it but choose to ignore it.

Flashback

when khushi left the kitchen Anjali also headed towards her room . Arnav entered the kitchen to get some water as he was tired after jogging but when saw the bowl of kheer his evil mind worked and he added a big tablespoon of salt in it spoiling the kheer. as khushi was about to enter the kitchen with bowls Arnav casually took the water bottle and left the kitchen

flashback ends

while serving the kheer she felt something was different .khushi tasted the kheer after putting it in a bowl. it was salty . before she could warn Nk he had a spoonful of kheer in his mouth

"Bhabhi . I'm sure it must be tatsy" Nk said keeping the spoonful of kheer near his mouth . when he had it he felt weird . he then realised it was salty . he felt like puking but to save khushi's reputation he ate the whole bowl of kheer leaving nothing for anyone . not even to taste

"Nk bhaiya . this is not fair you ate the whole bowl of Kheer. it is mine favourite too and moreover bhabhi has cooked for the first time " Anjali said while arnav couldnt control his laughter

"I think the kheer was very tasty . that's why devarji ate the full bowl" khushi said hiding the reality . while Arnav could hardly control his laughter . Akash noticed this . he never saw his bhai laughing so much . akash understood that his bhai would have done something

" Papa . i dont think I'll be able to join you guys in office today . you guys carryon" Nk said holding his stomach and rushing towards his room . while Arnav had a good laugh while khushi felt bad for his devarji
