Chapter 3

Rohit's POV

"Priya have you told your friends about this marriage?" I asked casually. It would be difficult to explain her sudden marriage. 

"No I haven't... and I don't even know how to tell them, they will shout at me that I didn't even call them." She said, well she was right. I would have been angry with my friend if he did that.

"It's ok they will understand.'

"Ha... easier said than done, it is not that easy Rohit. How would I explain this situation to them? They would think that I am joking or hiding things from them." She said taking deep breaths.

"Yes of course I think you are right, it is really difficult to make them understand. They will think that you have lost it or that you have such a bad choice. They will ask you why did you marry that khadoos ( arrogant) man when you could get marry to any Jolly natured man... like me." 

I winked at her. I was just teasing her. 

She smiled at my comment and shook her head and then I said, " I think you should get your eyes checked ." 

" But why?? My eyes are perfect." She said innocently.

" I know sweetheart your eyes are beautiful. I am talking about your eyesight, please get your eyesight checked. I think you can't see properly." I said while laughing.

" Hey!! why are you saying that? My eyesight is perfect."

"Well, in that case, take an appointment from a psychiatrist because I think you really need a treatment, as you chose to marry my brother... Ha ha ha." I knew, I was laughing like a lunatic. 

"Oh!! shut up" she rolled her eyes and said, but I kept on teasing her, she threw a cushion at me, but I ducked then I threw a cushion at her which landed on her.

  " See you can't even throw a cushion at me, your eyesight is not perfect. Please get them checked." I said to tease her. 

" It is too much now Rohit I will kill you." She glared at me.

"For that you have to catch me. Come on catch me if you can." I challenged her.

She ran after me and all of a sudden the door of the room opened and Rahul bhai entered and he was between Priya and I. She tried to stop herself but as we were running very fast, she couldn't stop and banged hard into him. 

He caught her but due to impact they both fell on the carpet. She was on top of him. She was too shocked to react. They both were looking at each other. She even forgot to move. He was holding her and was looking at her with shock. None of them moved. They were totally oblivious of me.

Just then mom and aunty entered from the door and saw them in that position. But they were lost.

I coughed and said, " What are two of you doing? Come on we understand that you got married only yesterday, but pls control your emotions. You have a big comfortable room, please go there. Don't corrupt the innocent soul like me." Mom and aunty burst out laughing. Priya got very embarrassed and tried to get of off him. 

" No no... it's not what you think, it's not, what it looks like. I am sorry." She just didn't know what to say. She was blushing profusely. She was looking very cute.

Bhai glared at me and I was laughing like a possessed man.

Mom said, " It is ok... He is just pulling your leg." But she was blushing so bad that she just ran upstairs to their room.

All three of us laughed loudly and Rahul bhai went to study, throwing cursing words at me. But I didn't care... I knew that they were feeling awkward around each other so I need to push them.

Next day when I came for breakfast there were so many things... stuffed Aaloo parantha (Flat bread stuffed with potatoes and onions), Stir fried Idli with lots of veggies, grilled Pizza sandwich, soyabean salad and Halwa. 

" Wow!!! Mom is there any special occasion today ? Am I forgetting something ? Why there's is so much food on the table?" I asked.

"Why ?? It is the first Sunday we have Priya with us so it's a special Sunday, so special food. Now just start eating this." Mom said.

Everyone was enjoying it. Bhai loved the food so much, he said, " Oh mom, the food is amazing I am just loving it ." Mom just smiled. We all ate with gusto.

I said , " Oh everything was amazing today, I ate so much, but this halwa is the best thing. love you mom for making all this. " 

Aunty and mom exchanged a look and smirked.

Then bhai also said , " Really mom you should cook very frequently the food was awesome today I loved it. I am just too full but I still want to keep on eating and the Halwa is awesome, love you mom."

" Something is different, even the coffee tastes much better today." I said and Bhai also nodded .

Mom said, " So you all think that the food was awesome, the halwa was out of this world and the coffee was very very tasty? Hmmm.... So your day was made, well, if you want to have this kind of food frequently then then you will have to request the cook to make it frequently for you and you will have to hug the cook is that ok ? "

All of us agreed. Dad started getting up, going towards mom. But she said, " Oh no I didn't make them, I didn't even go to the kitchen."

All of us were surprised and looked at each other. But we had no clue.

" Ok, ok I will tell you, each and every dish was prepared only and only by Priya. I didn't even go to the kitchen. Even coffee was prepared by her." 

Really?? That was awesome. We kept looking at her and her face turned pink in colour. Bhai was looking at her with surprise. 

"Come on Ram what are you looking at? She cooked for the first time as our daughter-in-law. Just give her some gift." Dad hugged her then gave her a beautiful necklace which she accepted shyly.

" Wow beautiful, you can even cook and it was awesome... please cook it for me again." I said and then I hugged her. She smiled and nodded. Everyone expected bhai to say something.
