21. Pehli Rasoi

📖

A beautiful couple was snuggled together as the sun rays peeked through the window. The alarm clock rang at 6am, causing Akshu to wake up.

As she saw the time, her eyes widened and she attempted to get up, but her dear husband's muscular arms wrapped around her waist prevented her from moving an inch.

Slowly, she removed his hand and sprinted towards the bathroom. She made sure to take her time getting fresh and ready.

Veer, our lover boy, was sleeping peacefully after so many years. After all, he married Akshu.

After an hour, Akshu emerged from the closet in a stunning red saree. She glanced at Veer who was sleeping on his stomach.

She stood in front of the dressing table and began drying her wet hair. Veer's eyes opened when few droplets fell on him, making him groan and witness the most mesmerizing scene in front of him.

His wife was drying her hair, with a natural blush adoring her beautiful cheeks and the amazing part she was wearing a red saree.

Veer acted as he is still sleeping and was gazing his wife while hiding his face in the pillow.

Veer POV:

Haaye, ye ladki itni pyari kaise ho sakti hai?? The sight of her wearing a red saree brings a smile to my face. I love this feeling and I can observe her in this state at any time.

She was fixing her saree pallu. When I got up and wish 'Good Morning, BIWI.'

She turned and glanced at me, then looked at her pallu once more. I asked her, "Shall I help you??"

"Huh....No Veer. Thank you, but it's almost finished." She's still attempting to attach the safety pin. I understand that she won't ask me. She is still afraid of me.

[Haa shabashi waala kaam kiye ho na shaadi ke waqt🙄]

I turned towards her and spoke in a calm and reassuring voice, "Don't worry, Little Birdie, I promised you that I won't do anything without your consent. I will never force myself on you or hurt you in any way." Her tense shoulders relaxed, indicating that my words had a positive impact on her.

As I noticed her struggling with the safety pin, I asked her, "May I?" She nodded in agreement, and I carefully went behind her and took the safety pin from her hand. With a single swift motion, I attached the safety pin perfectly to her pallu. "Thanks, I'm going downstairs," she said and was about to leave. However, before she could take another step, I reminded her, "Sweetheart, you're forgetting something."

She came towards me and made me face her. She gave me a quick peck on the cheeks. I was blushing like a fucking teenager.

"Oh, my sweet and innocent wife! I wasn't asking for this but thank you. You forgot to apply vermilion on your partition.," I said, and her eyes widen.

I took the box and applied the sindoor and complimented, "Perfect."

"Alright, go ahead and don't worry about anything. Call me or send someone if you need any help", I said hugging her.

I saw her fading figure. I kept a hand on my chest still admiring, "Aur fir kuch aisa hua ki mera dil uski laal saree ke pallu me hi reh gaya"

I went towards the bathroom, when I heard the door shutting voice.

Akshu POV:

I headed for the temple because I didn't have much time yesterday. I am aware that this will be the only location I can visit at any time.

I entered the temple and joined hands in front of Lord Krishna and Radha rani. I began performing the puja and sang a bhajan after taking the Aarti Thali.

When the aarti was over, I looked back and saw everyone in there clapping hands. I distributed prasad and then gave aarti to each person.

I checked everywhere, but I couldn't find him. "Bhabhi maa, aap jinko dhund rahi hai wo nahi aate kabhi yaha.", Hriday said and cleared my doubts.

[Sister in law, he never comes here.]

After giving a nod, I placed the aarti in the temple. I took the elders' blessings.

"Haaye, mera baccha tu kitni pyari lag rahi hai.", Maa complimented me, I blushed a little.

"Didi mai aapko bata rahi hu kal ki muh dikhayi mai sab aurtein chal jayegi humari Akshu ko dekh ke. Aakhir chand ka tukda jo laye hai hum.", Choti maa said and everyone agreed to that.

"This is your pehli rasoi, Akshu. Calm down and prepare some sweet. Just make that; Veer loves Kheer. Ask your mother-in-law for help if you need it. Okay, beta,"dadiji said and I touched her feet.

I walked to the kitchen, instructed the helpers to go, and requested them to give me all the ingredients.

I finally wrapped up the food preparation after a couple of hours. My hands and feet function like a machine, thanks to my relatives and their constant beatings.

[These motherfuckers...but don't worry Akshu baby because your husband transported them to hell. 😏]

I made Chole Bhature and Aloo paratha for the elders, poha and pasta for my kiddos. Tea and Espresso for him. Milkshake for Hriday and Pakhi. Cold coffee for Ansh. In sweet dish, Kheer.

[Akshu ne jitna khana banaya h, mujhe nahi lagta mai apni puri jeevan me bana paungi.🤣]

Ps. It's edited by me 😌😌

I called the helpers and told them to serve the breakfast. I came with Kheer tray and served everybody.

"Betaji sit down and have your breakfast.", Papaji said, and I declined. But his one attempt of faking glare made me giggle and I went to sit.

Only the seat beside him was empty, I took seat and served myself some parathas and kheer.

Dadiji remarked, "Beta, this breakfast is so delicious." I said, "Thank you, Dadiji," and went back to eating.

"Waah, betaji!! "I had such delicious food after so many years.", Chachaji commented while consuming the Kheer. Chachiji complained, "So, you mean I don't cook tasty food??"

"Aree Mrs. I am complimenting Bahurani why are you getting upset. I will like the dish even if it is spoiled by you.", Chachaji started buttering chachiji and it worked. She was blushing.

They are so cute.

"Bhabhimaa, this Pasta and Milkshake is so good. Please can you make it for me every day.", Ansh said.

"Meri biwi tere liye roz khana nahi banayegi", veer said glaring at his brother.

[my wife won't cook for you every day.]

"Kyun nahi banayegi??", ansh asked giving glare to his brother with same intensity.

[Why will she not make?]

"Kyuki mai keh raha hu", veer said and put his coffee mug on the table.

[Because I am saying so]

"Meri Bhabhimaa hai woh, aur mere bhabhi mere liye banayengi. Haina Bhabhimaa", he said looking at me with pleading eyes.

[She is my sister in law, she will cook for me, won't you Bhabhimaa]

Oh god, this men. "Haan mai bana dungi mai.", I said and Ansh had a victory smile adoring his face. He resumed eating.

[Okay, I'll make]

Veer whispered near my ear, "Agar uske liye banaogi toh mere liye bhi banana padega." with puppy eyes and cute voice.

He is looking so hot in this Black shirt. Akshu focus don't get distracted.

[Us behan us😭🫂 Everyone is getting distracted her due to Veerji🌚🤌🏻]

"Okay, I will make for you also.", I said, and his eyes sparkled like a kid.

"Baccha, come here.", Maa called me and I stood up and went near her. "Jii maa."

"Take this, your first rasoi gift.", maa gave me a box. "Maa, I can't take this.", I denied but Papaji said more like ordered, "Betaji it's our right to give our daughter a gift. Take it as our blessing."

It was a beautiful gold bangle. It was looking so heavy.

"It's our ancestorial bangle.", maa said and I nodded and touched their feet.

"Beta, come here. It's me and from your late grandfather. Before, he died we already made the jewelries for our grandson's wife. I hope you like it.", Dadiji said, and I looked at the box. It had a beautiful earring with so many beautiful designs.

"It's so beautiful. Thankyou Dadiji", I said and she nodded with a smile.

"Meri pyari Akshu, tujhe pata hai maine tere liye ring laya hai. Pehenke dekhna", choti maa chirped and made me wear the ring.

"Haaye, it's looking so beautiful.", she admired.

"Bhabhimaa, we have bought something for you', my bacchas said. "Show me", I asked and slowly they handed me a bag.

There was a mint green beautiful dress. Tears brimmed in my eyes. They are so cute, they love me.

"Dekh hriday, maine kaha tha na bhabhimaa ko ye colour nahi pasand aayega.", ansh chidded.

[I already told you hriday, she didn't like the colour of the dress.]

"Nahi bhaiyya, bhabhimaa ko design nahi pasand aaya. Aapko aur ye pakhi chipkali ko maine kaha tha maine.", hriday argued.

[No no she didn't liked the design]

"Tum logo ke wajah se meri sweetheart ro rahi hai. Aaj tum dono gaye.", Offo Mr. Singhaniya bhi na kabhi kabhi khud bacche ban jate hai.

[Because of you my wife is crying. You both are gone now.]

"No...... I am just overwhelmed by all the love and care I am receiving from everyone.", I said and they sighed.

" Bhabhimaa, make it a habit. Because we all love you. Wipe your tears now.", Ansh said side hugging me.

"Ansh, office jana nahi h tujhe??", Veer said making ansh run behind him.

"Baccha, you may be tired. We will call you by evening.", Maa said and I straightaway went towards my room.

When I was keeping the gifts; I noticed a gift box on the bed. I went near it and saw a note.

"Sweetheart it's your first rasoi gift. I already knew that you will make the best dish and I loved it. Love V.S."

I opened the box, and it was a gold rose. How much money this man has?

[Akshu it's all yours😌❤️]

It is lovely. Everything went smoothly today. I hope I will treat his family with the respect and affection they truly deserve.

I headed for bed after keeping all the gifts.

Sorry, My babies. I took so much of time to update. But sochne me bhi waqt lagta hai na.
