Next morning everyone woke up late. Today was no special ritual. It was just her first rasoi. Everyone woke up around lunch time and Bhavna went to the kitchen. She asked Saroj what all she should prepare.
"Beta aaj tumhe sirf meetha bana na hai."
(Today you have to make something sweet.)
"Kya banau? Sab log kya khaayenge?"
(What should I make? What will everyone eat?)
"Besan ka halwa bna le. Devesh ko bhut pasand hai. Baaki sab bhi khoob khush hokar khaate hai."
(Make gram flour pudding. Devesh loves it. Everyone likes it.)
"Jee."
(Ok)
Bhavna started making Besan ka Halwa. Everyone came at the dining table. Bhavna wished them and they greeted her back. Devesh was looking at her speechless.
She looked so beautiful in saree. And too a red one. And the Mangalsutra and Sindoor made her look all the more beautiful. She looked at him with wide eyes when she saw him winking at her.
She gestured around and shook her head. Devesh hid his smile behind his hand seeing her reaction. Oh how he loved to make her blush.
Bhavna was about to start serving when Arjun said.
"Nhi beta. Hum khud kar lenge. Tum bhi baitho and have your food. We do not expect Dhriti or Aanchal to do this. Aur tum bhi hamare liye unke jaisi hi ho."
(No dear. We will do it ourselves. You sit and have your food....you are like them to us.)
Bhavna nodded and sat beside Devesh. Everyone praised the halwa she made. They were having their lunch with the Singhania men discussing some business work when Bhavna felt a leg caress hers. She swatted his leg away but in vain. He kept on doing what he was.
"Kitni baar bola hai dining table par no business talks. Ye business ki baatein office chhod kar aaya karo."
(Hiw many times have i told you not to discuss business on the dining table. Leave your business talks in office.)
Damini scolded them. And everyone changed the topic to tomorrow's rituals. Devesh was still doing what he was. Bhavna looked at him and he was listening to what they were discussing as if not doing anything to her. She poked his thigh and he just looked at her, winked and went back to listening the others.
Bhavna looked at him with her mouth slightly open. 'What just happened?' she thought. Luckily Saroj called her to give her some gift for her pehli rasoi and also appreciated the halwa she made.
They were sitting in the living room when Devesh came and said.
"Bhavna ek minute upar aaogi?"
(Bhavna will you come upstairs for a minute?)
"Kaha?"
(Where?)
Damini asked. Devesh looked at her and said.
"Wo taiji balcony mai kuch cheeze add karwai thi isne wo aa gyi wahi dikha rha tha."
(Taiji actually she wanted to add somethings in the balcony, those have arrived, that only.)
"Achha. Jaa beta."
(Ok. Go dear.)
Damini said to Bhavna. She nodded and went with him. As soon as they entered his room, he closed the door and pulled her in his arms. He tried to kiss her but she turned her face and his lips landed on her cheeks.
"What?"
"Not allowed. Wedding night se pehle, not allowed."
(Not allowed before the wedding night.)
"Not even a kiss?"
"No. Not even a kiss."
Devesh made a sulking face but then said.
"Achha chalo balcony toh dekh lo."
(Ok fine come and see the balcony.)
And he took her there.
"Wow! Mujhe laga nhi tha ye itni achhi lagegi. Aapko kaisi lagi."
(I did not imagine it will look this good. Did you like it.)
"Bahut khoobsurat. Bilkul tumhari tarah. I so want to kiss you right now but damn."
(Very much. Its beautiful just like you.)
Devesh said nuzzling his nose into her neck and shoulders. She shivered at the feel of his breath on her neck.
"Devesh"
His name came out as a moan.
"Before i lose control. Mere paas tumhare liye kuch hai."
(I have something for you.)
Bhavna looked at him confused and he took her back to the room. He went to the wardrobe and took out a box.
"Ye meri taraf se tumhari pehli rasoi ke liye."
(This is for your first rasoi.)
"Thank you par iski zarurat nhi thi."
(Thank you but this was not needed.)
"Mujhe meri biwi ko gift dena tha toh de diya."
(I wanted to give my wife something so i did.)
He shrugged innocently. She shook her head smiling and opened the box. It was a pair of anklets.
"Wow Devesh! These are so pretty."
"You like them?"
"I love them."
"Mai pehna du?"
(Shall i?)
She looked at him and nodded. She sat on the bed and he sat in front of her on his knees. He kept her leg on his and she pulled her saree a bit. He made her wear the anklets and kissed them.
"Devesh ye kya kar rhe hai?"
(Devesh what are you doing?)
Bhavna gasped. He looked at her and kissed her forehead and hugged her. He couldn't believe that this was real. That she was here. In his arms. As his wife.
They broke the hug and went downstairs. Then everyone gattered in the living room and they played songs and everyone danced and enjoyed the whole evening. The maharaj told them that dinner was ready and they went to the dining room. They were having their dinner with Bhavna and Devesh looking at each other moment to moment when Adarsh spoke.
"Bhai toh pagal hi ho jaayenge. Bas bhai ek raat aur phir bhabhi ko aapse koi juda nhi kar skta."
(Bhai will go mad. Bhai just one more night and then no one can separate you from bhabhi.)
He said dramatically. Bhavna lowered her head blushing while Devesh showed him his hand indicating a slap. 'Oh God these Singhania siblings have no filter' Bhavna thought.
After dinner the younger Singhanias were sitting in their home theatre. Aanchal and Mishkat on one seat, Bhavna and Devesh on the other, Vaibhav and Sahil on one, Dhriti sprawled on hers and Adarsh with Reyansh.
They were watching 'Avengers: Infinity War'. Reyansh's demand who was giving spoilers to Adarsh every second. Aanchal and Mishkat had already seen the movie thousands of times, thanks to their son. Dhriti, Vaibhav and Sahil were watching with full concentration, being huge Avengers fans.
Bhavna was leaning on Devesh's hand sideways and muttering things in between, like, 'Loki shouldn't have died' , 'how can Vision be injured, he was made of vibranium' and 'captain america looks better with beard'.
Devesh was looking at her with amusement. His wife was so cute. Clinging to his arm like a koala and muttering along the movie. She again muttered something and Devesh chuckled and kissed her head. She looked up at him pouting.
He leaned down and pecked her lips. She gasped and slapped his chest lightly.
"Devesh!"
"Sorry. Couldn't help."
He muttered sheepishly scratching the back of his neck. She again leaned on his arm and started watching the movie and he started watching her.
The movie was over and Bhavna went to Dhriti's room to sleep.
