Ek ajeeb se betaabi hai tere bin,
reh bhi lete hai aur raha bhi nahi jata hai.
Today was Tara's first day at her new home and according to the rituals she has to cook something sweet for everyone.Tara woke up around 5 and saw her husband who called her an unwanted wife sleeping peacefully.
How can he sleep so peacefully after saying those words to me? Don't he have a fucking heart.He is sleeping like nothing had happened .He is sleeping like everything is fine and perfect.
After staring at him for few minutes she got out of her thought and went to her suitcase.Yesterday so many things happened that she was unable to unpack her things and manage it in her closet.She took one of her sari and went to the bathroom.She took a bath and came out of the bathroom and saw the room empty.She knew that she had to accept this kind of behavior from him as he had already told her not to expect anything from him.She sat infront of the mirror and was doing her makeup then she dried her hair. she wore a beautiful pink sari with golden blouse and her mangalsootra. She had kept her hair opened and applied vermillion in the middle partition of her hair.She has applied a light make up with a light pink colour lipstick.
(her dress)
After getting ready she got down stairs and saw her mother in law and chachi doing some work in the kitchen.She went near them and they turned to her. She bend down to touch their feet but her mother in law stopped her and hugged her telling"ghar ki betiya pair nahi chuti hai aur aap bhi toh hamari aur iss ghar ki he beti hai"
("The daughters of the house do not touch the feet and you too are our daughter and the daughter of this house only.")
Now Tara had tears in her eyes seeing how much loving her mother in law is. She thought that her mother in law would not like her because she was the replacement but her mother in law proved her wrong by showing her such love.
"I thought you wouldn't like me because I was a replacement for the bride but you are so nice that you called me the daughter of this house."Tara said while having tears in her eyes.
"No child, not at all, who wouldn't like a girl like you and don't ever think that no one dislikes you here, everyone loves you very much."said her mother in law and Tara just nodded.she was so emotionally touched by her words.
"Come on, let's make her do her first kitchen ritual now."said chachi in dramatic way by making them laugh.
"Tara beta make something sweet"
"actually Aunty, can you please tell me everyone's favorite food and I will make it for everyone."
"I called you my daughter and you are calling me aunty."said her mother in law.
"opps sorry mom"
"Beta, you just make it sweet, what's the point in making everyone's favorite dish?"said her mother in law but Tara insisted and her mother in law had to give up and told her everyone's favourite dish.Then Tara told her mother in law and chachi to go to the dinning table and she will prepare all the dishes.
_____*___________*_________*_________*_______*____________*_____________*_______
After an hour all the dishes were prepared and Tara with the help of one of her servant was keeping them in dinning table.
As soon as she kept the last bowl everyone came to the dinning table. Tara went and touched the feet of her grandmother and grandfather then her father in law and chacha.
"It smells so good, what's for breakfast today?"asked viyaan and was about to open the lid of the bowl.
"What are you doing? Brother, I haven't come yet."said Saanvi
"This is brother's daily routine, I am starving"said viyaan and before anyone could say anything they heard the footsteps . Tara tured her head towards the stairs and saw her handsome husband coming .
The man's handsomeness was striking, a composition of masculine charm and classical features that left an indelible impression. His facial structure boasted a strong jawline, chiseled with the precision of a sculptor's touch, framing a face that embodied both strength and sophistication. High cheekbones added a subtle elegance, casting shadows that accentuated the contours of his visage.
His eyes, windows to a captivating soul, held a magnetic intensity. A shade of deep, enigmatic black, they radiated intelligence and a hint of mystery. Above them, well-groomed eyebrows arched in a perfect balance, contributing to an expression that seamlessly oscillated between warmth and authority.
His nose, straight and refined, added to the symmetry of his features, while a perfectly groomed beard adorned his countenance with a touch of rugged masculinity. The lips, naturally shaped, carried a confident yet approachable curve.
The suit draped over a well-proportioned physique, sculpted by a commitment to fitness. Broad shoulders and a tapered waist created a silhouette that epitomized masculine allure. The tailored ensemble accentuated his physique without being ostentatious, revealing a man who understood the art of dressing for success.
This man in a suit embodied a harmonious blend of classic attractiveness, refined features, and a physique that exuded both strength and grace.
Watching him from the distance Tara whispered under her breadth"hayye".
Aaditya came and sat on his chair and saw there were many dishes kept on the table.
"Now can I eat or that there is still something left?"Viyaan asked .
"Viyaan take this"Tara said in her soft voice and passed a plate of paneer paratha to Viyaan.
"wow bhabhi these are my favourite"Viyaan said in amusement and then Tara served everyone's favourite dishes in their plate but only the one plate was empty and it was f her husband.
"Will I also get something to eat or is it just made for them?"asked Aaditya in irritated voice.
"I am sorry but I didnot knew what is your favourite food so you can share with Viyaan or Saanvi".Tara said while her eyes were still on ground.
"Bhabhi, this is wrong, why should I share my food and that too with these Khadus?"said viyaan in dramatic way and Aaditya glared at him.
"Arey Viaan, share now, I will make it again in the evening"said Tara with a smile then Viyaan gave two parathas to his brother.
"This is the last time, okay, I will not share it again, especially the food prepared by Bhabhi."said Viyaan and Aaditya was glaring at him like is he had the chance he would kill him.Everyone laughed at Viyaan's statement.
Definitely Aadiya was jealous because his wife had prepared everyone's favourite food except his .Aaditya couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy whenever he heard his family member praising food made by Tara.He watched as the family praised Tara's cooking, showering her with compliments that he had grown accustomed to receiving himself. .Aaditya's frustration reached its peak. He couldn't fathom why everyone else was fortunate enough to savor Tara's creations, while he, her husband, had not even tasted the food prepared by her.
After the food Tara went to bring something sweet.Here Aaditya was angry and jealous.I know he won't admit it but it was clearly visible.
"I don't want sweets"saying this Aaditya got up and was about to leave when Viyaan spoke.
"Bhabhi, you did not make breakfast brother's favorite but you definitely made sweets."hearing this Aaditya stood in the same place and turned back to see his favourite Gajar ka halwa.
"Brother, why did you stop? Go, go. Anyway, I won't share."said Viyaan.
"Shut up, that's what sister-in-law made for brother."said Saanvi hitting Viyaan at back of his head.
"You shut up, What is there for brother?His name is not written"said Viyaan in a smirk and everyone started laughing.
"You eat as much as you want, I don't want it and I am going to office and you also come on time otherwise it will not be right"said Aaditya.
Tara heart sank hearing those words she knew that she will never get a wife treatment from him but it was him who said that they will act like a real couple out of their room but here he is not even eating the food prepared by her.Aaditya's dadu can see her heart getting crused from her eyes so he speaks.
"No one will go anywhere and today is the daughter-in-law's first kitchen, everyone will eat everything from her hand and after this I will not hear any more"
"but...."before Aaditya could say anything his dadu added.It is your company and you are the boss, so one day you are late by 10 minutes, no one will say anything, so sit quietly"
Aaditya took a bowl of halwa and took a bite of it . Then he began to get halwa but there was no expression on his face.He then got up and spoke.
"can i go now?, I've eaten."
Everyone nodded but Tara didnot show any emotion. She was hurt by his behaviour .
"wait for a second"spoke dadu.
"Tara beta come here"dadu said in his soft tone.
"ji dadu"
"Beta this if for you from our side , its you first kitchen so we have a ritual to give gifts to the newly bride"Dadu said while looking and dadi.
Dadu handed a a red box and Tara opened it and was shocked to see such a beautiful jewelry .
"Dadu I can't......"before she could compelte Dadi spoke,"you should not say no to the elders and this is a blessing "
"Thankyou ......Thankyouu so much Dadu and Dadi"she spoke while having tears.
Then everyone began to give her gifts. Her father in law also gave her a set of jewelry and her mother in law gave her the Khandani har. Then her bother in law and sister in law gave her pair of earrings. She was overwhelmed by such love .Dadu saw her grandson had not given any gifts annd he understood that he hadn't even brought it so to not make him feel embarrass infront of everyone he spoke.
"tum bhul gaye na woh lana aaj"Dadu spoke.
("You forgot to bring that today?")
Aaditya understood what his Dadu was trying to do so he acted along with him.
"mujhe nahi pata tha gift aaj he dena hai maine woh office mein rakha hai"
("I don't know the gift giving is today so I have kept in the office.")
"No problem, come on time and bring that gift I am sure she won't mind getting gift at the evening right beta?"Dadu turned to Tara and she just smiled and nodded.
Everyone thought that he had kept his gift in office but Tara knew that he hadn't even thought of giving gift and she was also not expecting anything from him she was already happy by the way they love her and treat her.After all these things Aaditya went to his office and Viyaan also drove his car and went to the office.
After everything Tara told everyone she wanted to continue her work .
"Dadu and Dadi can I join my work again?"she asked not knowing what will be their answer.
"Beta where and what do you work?"
"Ji Dadu I work as a fashion designer"
"Beta, this is a very good thing, why don't you join our company, anyway we also need fashion designer at this time."
"But Dadu, how will I work in such a big company of yours and you don't even know how I work?"
"Beta, I have full faith in you and we have seen you handling everything here and we know that you will handle everything there too and will help us because we need you in our company"
"haan bhabhi I know you can do it"said Viyaan.
"so its final that from tomorrow Tara beta will handle the designing section"
"Thankyou dadu"she said with a smile and tears in her eyes.

Aaditya's pov
I woke up and saw that the room was empty . I thought she must have gone downstairs with everyone so I head up to my gym after gym I again came back to my room and saw her makeup on dressing table .I took a shower and wore my black suit.I was on the stair when I heard everyone laughing but I am pretty sure that they heard my footsteps and stoped talking.I saw everyone's eyes on me but then my eyes met her eyes.I looked at her from top to bottom and damn she is a goddess.
she was wearing a sari and jhumka which presents a vision of timeless grace and traditional elegance.she has the most featuring expressive eyes that exude warmth and depth. The shape of her face may vary, perhaps with delicate contours that enhance the overall softness of her appearance. High cheekbones add a touch of refinement, contributing to the classic beauty of her visage.Her eyes, framed by long, dark lashes, are a focal point.She has the most beautiful Hazel eyes.A dainty nose, softly curved and proportionate, adds to the charm of her facial features. Lips, adorned with a hint of color, radiate a natural and inviting warmth.The jhumkas, with their intricate design and embellishments, frame her face and add a touch of glamour to the overall look.She is the most beautiful women.
As soon as I got out of my thought I punched myself in my head.What was I even thinking.Just yesterday I was telling her to stay away from me and today only I myself is getting captured by her eyes.
As I settle down I heard them telling that my wife has prepared all these things.She had prepared everyone dishes except mine .Just wow.I was furious how can she do this to me.More than her I was angry at everyone the way they were enjoying the food made by her and here I haven't even taste it.As everyone was praising me now it was on my nerves then I got to leave but Dadu being Dadu stopped me and then their come Gajar ka halwa my favourite.Did she knew I like it?No no of course she didn't knew .But what if she prepared for you?no she hadn't and why will she?all these thoughts were fighting in my head when my brother Viyaan said that he won't shre i with me.Huh? It was made by my wife and I can't have it?that's not fair.
But as couldnot show this emotion so I just told hi and I didnot wanted to have it.But after a while I took a bite ad I must say this is the best halwa I had ever had I can eat more that 10 bowls of this.This is just amazing.But I didnot wanted to show any emotion so I kept my face straight.I didnot want to give her wrong thoughts.Later I saw everyone giving her gift.Gift?oh fuck I forgot but then Dadu saved me.
Even Dadu had gave her responsibilities for designing section.How can everyone trust her so much.Now from tomorrow we will be in office as well.
_______________*_______________________*____________________*__________________
Then I came to my office.
"goodmorning sir"Everyone wished and bowed their head.I directly went to my office and then called my PA to tell me about my today's schedule .He told me about all the meeting and then I attened two meeting.Then I remembered about the gift so I told my Driver to take me to the jewelry show.I saw various design and I must say I am exhausted.How can women shop for whole day when I am tired in just an hour. After all the meeting and office work I returned to home.As I walked from front door I saw my mom,my wife and saanvi laughing and doing something In kitchen.As they felt my presence Saanvi came running to me.
"Bhaiya bhabhi is the best"she said and I looked at Tara but she didnot looked at me she was busy in her work.
"why"
"you know I told my friends about bhabhi's cooking skill and then they also wanted to eat something made by her then I told bhabhi about all this and now tomorrow she is going to make cupcakes for us."
"Ohh"I replied.How can this girl do so much of things.
I then went to my room and kept the gift on the table with a note.I don't know why but I was unable to gift her the gift then after an hour I was called for dinner then we had our dinner I directly went to my study room and did my work.
