DID YOU SEE THE NEW REEL THAT SHUBMAN POSTED....BRO THINKS HE'S JAMES DEAN......(BRO IS)

HE'S LOOKING SO D(C)REAMY...

SO LET'S START THE STORY.

🎀

Aashna's pov:

Shubman woke me up before we reached at home.

So I fixed my hair and makeup and jwellery and rewore my nose ring that I had taken off.

Actually I don't have a nose piercing and it's painful to wear an artificial nose ring.

After we stopped at the gate of our house, I was amazed to see that it was decorated.

All the cars stopped at our house....are they going to stay at our place?

Par yeh log toh aas paas hi rehte hai...why can't they go home?

We don't even have complete furniture yet.

(A/n: Aashna tu kesi bahu hai? Shaadi ke pehle hi din rishtedaron ko kon bhagata hai? Yeh kaam toh pehle karna tha na!🤭)

So everyone else went inside, leaving me and Shubman outside.

"The house turned out to be so pretty shub!" I said admiring our place.

"I know, it's all yours." He said making my smile go wider.

"I'm so excited to decorate!" I said.

"Do everything you want." He said and soon we were called inside.

We both entered the main gate along with a lot of celebration and I saw his mom standing with a pooja ki thali.

I can't wait for this moment.

We both stood at the door as mummy performed our Aarti.

After the Aarti, we entered together, I pushed the lota filled with rice and stepped in the red liquid with the help of Shubman who lifted my lehenga and held my hand.

I walked on the white cloth that was spread out for a few steps.

Then, Shubman picked me up making me hold on to his kurta tightly.

"Yes!! Just like that!" We heard his cousin say.

We crossed the threshold and moved inside like that bridal style and he kept me down.

"You're suddenly heavy!" He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"I mean that...you were never that heavy...like did you gain weight or something? Not a problem, there will be more to grab on but...just asking." He whispered to me making me hit him on the arm and blush.

"It's my lehenga! It's like 18 kgs, the whole outfit!" I said.

"God...how are you even wearing this?" He asked and I shrugged my shoulders.

"Wowww, aa gayi bahu..." We heard some aunties celebrating.

"Ab lage haathon shaadi ke baad ki rasmein kar lete hain." Buaji said and we all agreed on it.

It's getting really hard to be in that lehenga anymore. It's so heavy it's hurting at the line that's sitting on my waist and the blouse is pricking me at all places.

Now I get the plight of women in medieval era who had to wear corsets all the time and still keep a smile on their faces.

We sat down and a container filled with milk was placed in front of us.

It contained a lot of other things like coins and fake rings to confuse us.

Once the competition started. We both started to compete with full zest and I was slowly finding the ring with full patience wherewhereas Shubman was rummaging his hand in the whole container.

My hand touched something which pretty much felt like the ring we were supposed to find.

I stopped moving my hand felt that ring with my fingers.

Yes! It's the one!

I was about to take my hand out but Shubman's hand touched mine and I looked at him.

Our eyes met for a second and his hand caressed mine before he snatched the ring from my finger and took it out.

I widened my eyes and gasped as I realised that he won by cheating!

"Shubman Gill! You cheater!" I shouted at him among the cheers.

"What cheater? What proof do you have that I cheated?" He asked me.

"But I found the ring! You snatched it from me! Di isne cheating ki hai!" I said to Shahneel di who was standing with Bear.

"I can believe you...ki hogi." She said.

"Accha? Kya proof hai?" He said and showed me his tongue.

"Koi baat nhi, agle round mai tu jeet jaiyo!" Di said to me.

The next round was untangling the thread.

Again, I worked with patience, looking at the badly tangled ball of kalawa thread in my hand.

While Shubman snatched on the loose threads.

I figured it out and untangled the thread before him.

Everyone clapped for me and I held it in front of Shubman to show him.

He looked at me with a long face, still holding the tangled ball in his hand.

"Isne cheating ki hai! My ball of thread is more tangled than hers!" He whined.

"Chal tu chup kar! Both of yours are just the same." Di said to him.

"Why can't you accept that I'm just naturally better?" I said sassily to him and saw him refraining to crack a smile.

"Ab tera kaam ho gya, tu ja fresh ho ja, aur bahu ko abhi thodi aur rasmein karni hongi." Dadiji said.

Why does this happen with me only? He is allowed to leave and me? His clothes are even more comfortable than mine! He doesn't have heavy jwellery that hurts, nor the tight clothing! Nor this huge bun on the back of the head attached with a 4 kg veil!

Mujhe bhi kapde badalne hai aur chain se sona hai!!

We had decided to perform the muh dikhai that day itself because everyone was available.

One of Shubman's cousins fixed my veil so that it covered my face.

I sat on the seat and all the women came one by one and lifted my veil and kept some things on the dupatta on my lap and whispered somewhat nice yet hilarious things in my ear.

Like a woman whispered that may I have all sons....I want a baby girl as well...why would she do something like that?

And interestingly, Shubman's mom whispered that may we both be happy together.....it was really good to hear that.

And Shahneel di whispered that may I be blessed with lots of good sex and winked before putting the veil down....ahem, I just said thanks.

After the muh dikhai was done, it was almost night so I had to perform the pooja and sit there for a while to pray with everyone else.

I sat cross legged and closed my eyes as women were singing mantras and bhajans when I felt something on my thigh.

I opened my eyes and saw Bear resting his head on my thigh.

Aww, he must be tired and lacking his space with all the people.

I scratched his head and kissed his nose before I heard buaji say something.

"Haye, chhee chhee, kutte ko pooja ki jagah se bhagao! Yeh sab kharaab kar dega!" She shouted with a disgusting look on her face.

Agar shakal kharaab ho toh baat toh kam se kam acchi kar leni chahiye.

I looked down at Bear who was looking up at me with literally what we call puppy eyes with a small confused line between his brows.

I swear to God this woman is gonna get a good slap from me an-

"Buaji uska naam Bear hai aur wo hamari family ka part hai, toh wo yahin rahega." Shubman, who had just appeared in the scene said to her.

I swear I was about to cry for Bear.

"Lekin kutta acchoot hota hai, sab bekar ho jayega!" She said.

How dare she call my baby untouchable?

"Toh matlab bhagwan itne kamzor hain ki Bear ki presence se unki pooja kharaab ho jayegi?" Shubman said.

"Mujhe toh jo kehna tha keh diya, ab tum log jaano!" She said at the end.

We all stood up for the Aarti and Shubman and I did the Aarti together, I muttered a small thank you to him as he stepped by my side.

After the Aarti, I finally sat down as the dinner was being managed.

At around 9 p.m. we had dinner and it was FINALLY the day off till tomorrow.

I breathed heavily refraining the smile at the mere thought of comfort I'm gonna have by taking all of this off.

"Let's go, I'll show you your room." Shahneel di said as I followed her hand in hand although I knew where the room was and I had also visited once the house was fully made just to keep thousands of clothes and shoes that I own in the double storey closet.

We entered the room with Bear following behind us and she turned on the lights making me gasp when I saw the decoration.

I know, I know this is not too much but it IS something!

"Di...yeh sab karne ki kya zarurat thi?" I asked her, holding the hem of the T-shirt that she had changed into.

She shook her head with a smile, "Thi zarurat! Now come on!" She dragged me towards the closet.

"But you must also be tired na?" I asked her.

"Never too tired fo- what the hell?!" She exclaimed as we walked in on a person snooping through my closet.

A person who is buaji's younger daughter, deepti.

"Do you need something?" I asked her politely.

"Let me handle this." Shahneel di whispered to me.

"Whatever you've taken....keep it back!" She said to deepti.

"Di...what are you saying? I haven't done anything!" She said in her wanna be American accent, like girl, just learn! I'm more than willing to teach you the accent!

(A/n: who else can do accent?😎)

"So I'll ask you to leave, bhabhi is tired, give her some space." Di said to her sternly.

"I'm not even doing anything! I'm just seeing her things! Bhabhi can I, please?" She asked me.

"Uh...I guess she can stay till we're taking my things off." I said to di making her nod side to side.

I sat in front of the vanity for the first time in that house.

This is where I'm gonna sit everyday!

Shahneel di and I worked vigorously to take off hundreds of pins from my hair and unpin the dupattas and the jwellery.

After a good hour of work, I was left in a T-shirt and shorts.

"Wow bhabhi! You have so much jewellery collection!" Deepti said.

Wait! Did she say jwellery?

I snapped my head in her direction to see her going through the closet that I was sure was locked.

"I'm sorry deepti but I'll have to ask you to keep the jwellery down...it's precious jwellery, not fake." I said but she still kept holding up a velvet box in her hand.

"Can I have these bangles?" She said.

I went closer to see which ones she want.

It's the one that Shubman gave me on our first valentines day.

I slowly held them in my hand and snatched the box slowly out of her hand.

"I'm sorry yaar but these....your bhaiya gifted that's why I can't give you...but if you really need something than you can have that-"

"You can't take away precious jwellery! Deepti be in your etiquettes, Aashna tujhse kabhi mana nhi karegi but yeh khud sochna chahiye ki ham kya maang rahe hai!" Shahneel di said.

"Di! What is your problem? Bhabhi is giving me so why can't I take?" She said.

"Bachpan mai kisi ne manners nhi sikhaye? And you know what? It's late already...so leave please!" Di said to her making her stomp away brattily.

"I'm sorry, bua ki beti hai na! So you know why she's like that." Di said to me.

"It's alright di! Wese bhi she's gone!" I said gesturing with my hands.

"Shubhi gifted you these bangles?" She asked me taking them from my hand.

"Yeah...it was a long time ago..." I said blushing heavily.

"Uh huh...they'll look good on you...blushing and all huh?" She teased.

"Arey yaar di esa kucch nhi hai! You know everything!" I said.

"I know...but after tonight, I might not because you're gonna have so much-

"Don't you dare continue!" I shouted making her laugh.

"But di....I'm scared! I know what will happen but literally how will I do it? I don't know...I mean I've seen and read things but I've never-" She stopped my bickering.

"Chill kar! Just go with the flow, don't rush things, calm down, now sit down, let me brush your hair." She said pulling out a hairbrush.

I sat down relaxed as she ran the brush through the length of my hair.

"Can I take off this chooda? How will I manage through the night with this?" I asked shaking my hand making the bells of a bangle jingle.

"You can't take off the full chooda, you can take off most of it though." She said to me.

"Oh...and....for how long will I have to wear it?" I asked with a nervous laugh.

"I don't know....like nine months?!" She said making me scream a what!?

"I don't know?!!?" She screamed back.

"Why are you screaming?!" I screamed.

"Because you're screaming!" She screamed back.

We both broke out in a fit of laughter.

"Bacchon jaldi kaam karo! Late ho gya hai!" We turned towards the door to see mummy standing in a night gown.

"Sorry mummy." Shahneel di said and di what she was doing.

"Theek se ho gya sab kucch? Koi problem toh nhi huyi adjust hone mai?" She asked me.

"Nhi mummy, sab kucch ho gya..." I said.

Yaar yeh awkwardness kab khatam hogi hamare beech? 😔

"Mummy, yeh choodha kab utaar sakte hai?" I asked her.

"Raat mai utaar dena lekin ek choodi toh rehni chahiye. Aur wese toh saal bhar pehente hai lekin tumhari marzi, aaj kal toh 3 mahine hi pehente hai latest. Haan lekin beech mai koi pregnancy ho jaati hai toh utarna padta hai." She explained to us.

"Wow, I'm hearing this for the first time!" Shahneel di said.

"Mene bhi utaar diya tha 6 mahine baad kyoki tu hone wali thi!" Mummy said touching her head affectionately.

I sighed inwardly watching as Di got up and hugged mummy.

I nodded my head.

"Chalo theek hai, doodh bhej denge raat thodi der mai, aaram se raho ab toh." She said and dragged di out of there who showed me a thumbs up and winked before leaving.

I heared the door close and slumped in the vanity chair.

After some time of sulking, I got up and took off the choodha leaving one bangle in each hand.

After placing it carefully, I put my hair into a bun and took a migraine pill and made my way towards the bathroom.

Getting misceller on a wipe, I cleaned my makeup, frowning the way I looked after that.

No matter how pretty you are, you're always gonna hate your face after you take off your makeup.

Then after brushing my teeth, I stepped into the shower.

While taking the shower, I heard knock on the bathroom door.

It was Shubman telling me that he's inside the room.

After showering for almost an hour, including misting and scrubbing, I stepped out in my closet with my towel tightly clutched around me.

I looked in the lingerie drawer and found something really hot....and decided to wear it.

I looked at myself in the mirror and took a deep breath to calm my nerves.

Applying my lip balm on my lips and puffing my hair a bit, I decided to step out of the closet.

WHO'S READY FOR THE NEXT CHAPTERRRRR

HEHE!🤭
