Isha
I went into the kitchen with Abhigya and Abir.
"So what does everyone like?"
"Bhabi maa you can ask about bhai's likes directly," Abir said mockingly.
"Your bhai? He nodded to my good morning as if I were his employee. I'm sure his likes will be like him."
"Are you talking about me?" Abhinav said from behind.
"No...no... Absolutely not. Why would I?" I replied panicking.
"Bhabi maa you are too cute." Abir said.
I gave a death glare to him which he ignored.
"Did you need something?" I asked looking at Abhinav.
"Yes, Abhigya. Abhigya your courier is here."
"Ji bhai," Abhigya replied and went out.
I made ras malai as Abir said it's everyone's favorite. I made a few other dishes for breakfast.
I served the dishes after everyone settled themselves.
"It's delicious beta." Dadi sa praised.
"Too good bhabi. From now it's my favorite dish." Abir said.
Everyone gave some compliments but Abhinav kept eating silently.
After breakfast, everyone gave me a present except Abir and Abhinav.
"Bhabi maa I want to promise you something along with the gift," Abir said.
"Ha Abir. " I waited for him to complete.
"Bhabi maa I promise you that I will always support you no matter what. I will make sure you will never feel alone."
Saying so he gave me a beautiful bracelet which I wore immediately. I hugged him with teary eyes.
"By the way you are looking stunning in saree bhabi maa" He complimented.
Abhinav
Yes, Abir is absolutely right. She is looking gorgeous.
I bought a gift for her but I'll give it to her later. I'm not good at public display of emotions.
After we were done eating Ishaan came to pick her up.
"Isha beta Abhi will come there in the evening for dinner," Dadi said.
"Which one?" She asked confused.
I couldn't control my laughter anymore. I laughed after a long time. She is really something. My family is shocked seeing me laugh like that.
"What do you mean by which one beta?" Dad asked controlling his laugh.
"Every one of their names starts with 'Abhi' so I just got confused." She replied innocently.
"Your Abhi bhabi," Abir answered laughing.
"Beta they are just teasing you," Dadu said patting her head softly.
After that, she went to our room to get her luggage and I followed her saying I wanted some files.
She took one of her already-packed bags and looked at me.
"I will come at 7 sharp. I have a tight schedule. So don't disturb" I said.
"Look I'm not your..."
"Employee?" I completed her sentence.
"I will not let employees into my bedroom princess." What the hell? Why did I call her princess?
"Don't call me that." She chided.
"What? Princess?" I asked with a smirk.
"Don't call that." She said with a little irritation on her face.
I am enjoying teasing her.
"We are royals. I am a Prince so my wife will obviously be a princess."
"Technically yes. But don't call that."
"I like calling you princess princess."
"Abhinav!" she said in a higher tone.
For the first time, she called me by my name and I melted like an ice-cream.
"Ha," I replied.
"Nothing. I'll see you in the evening."
Isha
I screamed his name in a high tone.
When he replied with a 'ha' I didn't know how to react so I just said I will see him in the evening.
I can feel him staring at me from the back.
Don't stare like that. I thought to myself.
"You are just walking in the direction I'm looking." He replied.
How does he know that?
"I know everything wifey." He replied again.
Did he just call me wifey?
"Yes I did and you are."
I ran out of the room to avoid another secondhand embarrassment.
I came down a bhai was waiting for me. He took the bag from my hands.
"Which car did you bring?" I asked.
"I'm not gonna let you drive." He replied bluntly.
"Bhai please."
"No."
He went and sat in the driver's seat.
I know my puppy face doesn't work on him when it comes to cars so I just settled myself in the passenger's seat.
After 40 minutes I'm back at my home. My kingdom. I got down and ran in like a little kid.
As soon as I went in I saw Dad climbing down the stairs.
He saw me and opened his arms. I ran into his arms.
We sat at the dining table and talked a lot like we met after years. Later Dad had to leave for an important meeting as Dad and Abhinav are launching a new product in a month.
I sat in the living room and chatted with Maa and Bhai. We didn't even realize the time passing by. It's already 6 p.m.
Maa went into the kitchen to prepare dinner for us.
I'm having my pastry. someone tapped on my left shoulder. I turned to look and bhai ate my pastry from my right. It was the last.
"Bhai!" I screamed.
"Cheeku!" He screamed back untying my hair.
"You are so dead."
"Try to catch me."
I know I can't catch this idiot. So, I just took his favorite watch lying on the table.
"I'm gonna throw it!" I announced.
"Cheeku keep it down."
"No bhai."
"Cheeku don't."
"Or else what will you do?"
"You are out now."
He started chasing me. We ran the entire home.
The bell rang.
"Ishu get the door." Maa said.
"Ask your dear son to stop chasing me," I shouted in reply.
"You guys.." maa exasperated and sent a maid to open the door.
I and Bhai completed our running around the home and are back in the hall with him after me.
"Bhai stop."
"Keep it down."
"No!"
"Cheeku you.."
"Papa is here. You are done bhai." I stuck out my tongue and started running again.
"No one can save you today," Bhai announced.
"Really! Catch it. " I threw a cushion at him.
"Cheeku! He took the water glass next to him."
"Bhai NO! Not water."
"Why not beta? Now try running."
I heard footsteps and thought it was Dad. Bhai can never throw anything at me when Dad is around.
I ran and hid myself behind him. But it was not Dad but Abhinav.
I wish I could disappear in thin air. I was acting totally insane in front of my crush for 2 years and my husband.
Abhinav
I completed my work and went to Isha's place to have dinner as Dadi sa ordered.
A maid opened the door for me and I went in.
Isha and Ishaan are fighting like kids. Isha is running and Ishaan is after her.
Isha threw a cushion at Ishaan and he is now after her with a water glass.
She came and hid behind me like a small kid. She is looking so pure and innocent like that.
But soon she seemed to realize that she was behind me. She came out and Ishaan too placed his glass down.
Her mom came out from the kitchen.
I touched her feet to take blessings.
"Kush raho beta." She blessed me.
"You both are behaving like kids. And Ishu look at you! your husband is here and you are running around like a kid." She complained turning to her children.
"It's my husband anyways. It doesn't matter maa." Isha replied.
But soon she realized what she said and hid her face with her palm.
"Abhinav beta take a seat. I will come back after finishing the cooking."
"Abhinav, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to take her back tomorrow?" Bhai asked.
"Yes, but Dadi sa wanted me to talk to your parents about you and abhigya. They want you guys to get engaged next month. You can get married after her graduation." I replied.
I can sense the happiness on his face.
"Ishu! Show Abhinav around." Isha and Ishaan said slowly together.
I looked at them confused and they pointed towards the kitchen.
"Ishu! Show Abhinav around." Mithali aunt shouted from the kitchen.
"Bhai chale?" Isha asked.
"It's your husband so you show him," Ishaan said relaxing.
"Shall we?" She asked looking at me after she was done rolling her eyes at her brother.
I stood up to follow her.
"So you already saw the living room."
She showed me around.
"Now it's time for the best place in this house." She exclaimed.
I raised a brow at her.
She ignored me and kept walking. Finally, we are in her room.
Her room is entirely decorated in white and she has a swing with a white heart placed in it.
Her room is looking elegant and peaceful.
She didn't show her closet and I didn't want to see either. What if I suffer a heart attack looking at her collection?
