Randhir was laying on the couch and steeling a glance of Sanyukta. He saw her caressing the chain of flowers which are leant from the bed.

"Don't know why these girl's get so much attract by the flowers? Look at her, she is admiring the flowers even on this tensed situation!" Randhir said in mind and sighed.

He turned to other side and tried to catch a sleep but can't for his heavy clothes. So he thought to change it and get up from the couch.

Sanyukta was thinking about the recent changes in her life when she noticed that Randhir get up from the couch, their eyes met.

"Umm....wo this clothes are way to heavy, I can't sleep properly so I have to change it." He said hesitantly when she nodded positively. Randhir take the chance and go inside the loo.

"God these clothes, don't know how people can manage all this?" He said and started open his clothes but for his bad luck the string of his pajama got stuck and he don't able to open it.

"Ohh shit, ohh shit....now what to do?" He said confusingly when struggling with the string.

"Aab isse kaise kholu, DM ko bulau, ohh no main bahar kaise jau, waha par tho Sanyukta hain!" He sighed when still struggling with the string.

After a long period of struggling he cut the string don't find any option and take a relief of sigh.

"Thank god." He said and came out after changing.

He was about to go to the couch when his gaze fall on Sanyukta who was sleeping on her sitting position.

"Sanyukta?"

He called her name but don't get any response so he came near her. She was in a deep slumber so Randhir dropped the thought of calling her.

"But aaise soyegi tho gardan aakar jayegi!"

He thought but hesitated for a moment. But next moment placed her properly on the bed keeping aside his every thought. He covered her with the duvet and sat beside her and look at her sleepy face. The candles are still burning when he admired her on that gloomy light.

"She is the most gorgeous bride I had ever seen." His mind said that.

"And this gorgeous lady belongs to me only." He smiled a little when admiring her beautiful face.

"Yes she is the bride, my bride. Mrs. Sanyukta Randhir Singh Shekhawat." He said proudly and bent down a little to kiss her forehead but stopped next.

"Do I have the rights?" His mind asked.

"Yes she is my legally wedded wife but still I don't have any rights on her." He murmured and back off.

"I have to wait for her till that day when she except me as her husband. Yes Sanyukta I'll be wait for you."

He said in his mind and came back to the couch and lay down. He look at her direction once then closed his eyes after mumbled a good night to her.

                            * * * * * *

As morning crept Randhir's slumber got disturbed by a knock at the door. He open his half blurred eyes and look at the surroundings. First he was confused to saw the room but next he remember everything.

"Randhir baba, darwaza kholo." Randhir heard the voice and get up with a jolt.

"Ohh shit DM, now what to do?" He panicked and next his eyes fall on Sanyukta who was sleeping soundly. He rushed towards her.

"Sanyukta get up, DM at the door." He called her when she twisted on the bed.

"Umm....sone do na." She said in her half senses when Randhir shook her hard thus she open her eyes.

"Aap mere room mein keya kar rahe hain?" She asked thus he rolled his eyes.

"Get up Sanyukta otherwise we must caught red-handed." Randhir said when Sanyukta looked at him confusingly.

She looked at the room then herself once and everything flashed in her mind. She also get up with a jolt.

"Randhir baba, bahu?" Dadiji called them again.

"Shit DM, kahi unnhe shak na ho jaye aab keya karu?" Randhir said helplessly.

"Wo....umm couch par aapka bistar!" Sanyukta said slowly which caught Randhir's attention.

"Yeah right." He said and rushed to take the pillow when Sanyukta messed the heart shape on the bed made by rose petals.

"What are you doing?" Randhir asked confusingly when placed the pillow and duvet on the bed.

"Kahi dadiji ko shak na ho jaye, issi liye." She said lowering her eyes when Randhir understand the meaning of her words.

"Yeah right, just a minute." He said and came closer to her.

"Sorry."

He said when she was confused by his word but before she understand anything Randhir take off her dupatta and open her hairs when she was stunned by his gesture.

"Yeh aap..."

"Sshhhh....chup warna DM sun legi." He said when removing her jeweleries.

"Sit here, am going to open the door." He said after removed her jeweleries.

He about to go when something caught his attention. He forwarded his hand to her direction when she look at him confusingly. Randhir touched her forehead thus she closed her eyes when he smudged her sindoor next.

"Sorry but this is needed." He said slowly looking at her when she lowered her lashes.

He then rushed to the door when Sanyukta sat there silently. Randhir stopped for a moment in front of the door and ruffled his hairs and open the door finally.

Randhir open the door and see dadiji stood there with their morning coffee.

"Go....good morning DM." Randhir smiled nervously.

"Good morning baba." Dadiji flashed a bright smile.

"Bahu uth geyi?" She asked thus Randhir nodded positively and move that dadiji can enter.

"Good morning bahu." Dadiji greeted Sanyukta also when placed the tray on the table.

"Good morning dadiji." Sanyukta smiled also when tried to compose herself.

Dadiji looked at Sanyukta and saw her messy state and smiled inwardly.

"Lagta hain inn dono ne ek dusre ko dil se aapna liya hain. Bhagawaanji aapka bahut bahut sukriya." Dadiji said in mind.

"Dadiji aap kyu yeh coffee leke aah geyi, main bass niche jane hi wali thi?" Sanyukta said don't understand what to say.

"Aare aapne baba aur bahu ke liye layi hu na, iss mein koynsi baadi baat hain!" Dadiji said casually.

"Haan DM aapne kyu taklif ki, bekar mein neend tor diya mera, waise vi kaal raat thik se nehi soya."

Randhir said remembering his night on the couch when Sanyukta's cheeks flushed and dadiji chuckled thus Randhir realised own words. He looked at Sanyukta who just admiring the floor then looked at dadiji who control hard not to laugh.

"No, no, no, mera wo matlab nehi tha!" He stammered badly when cursed himself in mind for not being careful enough.

"Aare baba tum tho bilkul neyi naveli dulhan ki tarha sharma rahe ho." Dadiji said teasingly.

"Ne....nehi tho." Randhir stammered again when dadiji controlled her laugh and look at Sanyukta.

"Aare bahu main yeha tumhe kuch bolne aayi thi." Dadiji said thus Sanyukta finally look up.

"Ji boliye." She said anyhow.

"Bahu tum jaldi se nahake niche aah jau. Aaj tumhari peheli rasoi hain haan."

"Ji." Dadiji smiled at her when Sanyukta replied in short.

"Aur baba tum vi waqt pe niche aah jana, bahu ka peheli rasoi hain, samjhe!" Dadiji said thus Randhir nodded positively. Dadiji is about to go when her eyes fall on the bed where two blankets were kept.

"Aare yeh 2 kambal kiss liye?" Dadiji asked thus Randhir's heart beat become faster, he looked at Sanyukta once then at dadiji.

"Wo....wo DM wo....baat yeh hain ki....actually wo aaisa hain ki..." He was fumbling with words when dadiji look at him curiously.

"Wo dadiji wo dusra kambal maine use kiya tha." Sanyukta said hesitantly when dadiji looked at her shockingly.

"Keya bahu tumne?" Dadiji asked shockingly.

"Ji dadiji, wo baat yeh hain ki inhe bahut garmi laag rahi thi tho inhone AC lowest par set kiya huya tha. Lekin mujhe bahut sardi laag rahi thi, wo mujhe AC ki aadat nehi hain na issi liye. Tho phir inhone mujhe ek aur kambal de diya odrne ke liye." Sanyukta said hesitantly when dadiji laughed and Randhir take a relief of sigh.

"Haan baba ko garmi kuch jyada hi lagta hain, pardesh mein rahe kar aaya hain na." Dadiji said when Randhir smiled like an idiot.

"Aachha bahu tum jaldi se niche aah jau main intezer kar rahi hu, baba tum vi."

"Ji." Sanyukta and Randhir both nodded when dadiji left from there.

"Thank god." As soon as dadiji left Randhir fall on the bed and dig his face in the pillow when Sanyukta looked at him.

"Thank god Sanyukta tumne bacha liya warna mujhe tho laga ke dono pakre jayenge." Randhir said looking at Sanyukta when she kept mum.

Randhir remembered what he did sometimes back and felt uneasy, he sat up on the bed.

"Wo Sanyukta am sorry wo sab kuch karne ke liye but hope you understand the situation. Main nehi chahata tha ke DM ko koi shak ho hum par, issi liye." He was hesitated when saying those words. Sanyukta who was admiring the floor now looked at him.

"It's okay sir, I can understand. You don't need to give an explanation." She assured him.

"No Sanyukta I was wrong, always. And selfish too." He said this when Sanyukta look at him surprisingly.

"I chooses my happiness over you. I forced you to stay in this marriage. I just want to see DM happy but on this proses I snatched everything from you." He sighed helplessly.

"No sir who said that you are selfish? No one knows you better than me and I tell you that you are not selfish and not wrong also." She said when Randhir look at her surprisingly.

"You just want to save me, my respect, my dignity. That's why you marry me. And you didn't force me for anything sir. You....you didn't show your rights on me last night too." Sanyukta said that when Randhir looked down.

"Aapne sab kuch mere aur dadiji ki khushi ke liye kiya tho phir aap selfish kaise huye?" Sanyukta placed her hand on his shoulder thus he looked at her with painful eyes.

"I'm sorry Sanyukta, wo DM ke liye..." He stopped not finding anything when she continue.

"You are lucky sir ke dadiji aapke pass hain. Family ke naam par koi tho hain jo haar muskil mein aapka saath dete hain. Meri tarha nehi jiske aapno ne hi usska saath chhod diya. Itni badi duniya mein anath hona kaisa lagta hain wo sirf main janti hu." And her eyes filled with fresh tears.

"Khabardar jo phir kabhi aapne aap ko anath kaha tho, mujhse bura koi nehi hoga." Randhir came near her and cupped her face when she looked at him with moist eyes.

"Keya kaha tha maine ke aab tum vi meri family ki hissa ho tho phir yeh aasu kyu!" He said and wiped her tears when she look at him only, their gaze met and they both lost in each other.

Suddenly his phone buzz thus they came back to their senses. They both look away in embarrassment.

"Do you mind if I use the washroom first?" Sanyukta asked not exactly looking at him.

"No, you can use it first." He said and next she go to the washroom when he attend the phone.

Sanyukta entered at the washroom and next her eyes became widened to saw a huge washroom in front of her. The floor was made by Italian tiles, there was a big bathtub at the middle of the bathroom. There was an another chamber made by glasses only for take shower. She can see costly body wash, shampoos and every essential things are kept there neatly. Sanyukta was astonished to saw that huge and luxurious bathroom. She forgot to blink.

"It's so big, yeh tho mere room se vi bada hain." She murmured remembered her small room at her uncle's house.

She kept her clothes on the rod and came to the basin to wash her face.

"Aare yeh tap open kaise hota hain?" She asked to herself.

"Sir se pucho keya?" She bit her lip.

"Keya Sanyu aab nahane ke liye vi unnhe bulayegi keya?"

She scolded herself and when she put her hand under the tap water came out automatically. She became surprised. She takes back her hand thus water stops to come out. She then again put her hand under the tap and water came out again.

"Aare yeha tho pani aapne aap aata hain! Kholne aur bandh karne ka system hi nehi hain.

She said happily as she discovered something new. She then open her dresses and open the glass door and came inside it. She open the shower and cool water droplets fall on her. She closed her eyes feeling the cold water on her body.

Randhir was doing something on his laptop when the washrooms door clicked open and Sanyukta came out. The room filled with the aroma of shampoo. Randhir who was busy with his laptop now look up to feel her presence. She wear that peach coloured salwar and her hairs are covered with a towel. Some wet strands fall on her face which make her more beautiful. Randhir just look at her with out a blink. Sanyukta can feel his gaze on her and she became conscious.

"Wo mera ho geya hain, aab aap washroom jaa sakte ho." She said nervously when he came back to his senses.

"Haan! Umm haan bass jaa raha hu." He said and look back to his laptop.

Sanyukta started drying her hairs in front of the mirror when Randhir steeling glances of her. Sanyukta combing her hairs and put some moisturiser on her skin. She adjusted her mangalsutra and applied a bindi in between her brows. And finally she filled her parting with vermilion when Randhir just skipped a beat to saw her like this.

Sanyukta get up and about to go when Randhir pointed at her. She raised her brows and asked him with eyes when Randhir again pointed at her. Sanyukta got confused so Randhir now pointed at his nose then pointed at her nose. Sanyukta crocked her eyes and look at the mirror. She saw some vermilion on her nose. She bit her tongue and wiped that.

"Thanks." She smiled at him.

"You are welcome." He also smiled back and Sanyukta go towards the kitchen when a smile crept both on their lips.

                              * * * * * *

"Aare bahu yeh keya, na saree, na koi gahena, neyi naveli dulhan aur aaise khali khali!" Dadiji said as Sanyukta entered the kitchen.

"Wo dadiji mere pass tho koi saree nehi hain aur nahi koi gahene." Sanyukta replied slowly.

"Hmm, samjhi. Koi baat nehi sab aah jayenge, meri bahu ko kisi baat ki kami hain keya!" Dadiji said proudly.

"Nehi dadiji usski keya jarurat hain?" Sanyukta tried to deny but stopped by dadiji.

"Jarurat hain, neyi naveli dulhan aaise khali khali rahegi keya, aaj hi baba ko bolti hu." Mentioning Randhir's name Sanyukta felt little awkward.

"Nehi nehi dadiji, unnhe taklif dene ki koi jarurat nehi." Sanyukta said slowly.

"Iss mein taklif kaisa, yeh usska farz hain, tum aao hume chula ki puja karni hain, phir tum aapna peheli rasoi karna." Dadiji said thus Sanyukta nodded positively. After all the rituals Sanyukta started preparing suji ki halwa.

"Pata nehi kaisa bana hain?" Sanyukta said nervously.

"Khusboo tho bahut badiya hain, aachha hi hoga." Dadiji assured her thus she smiled.

"Chalo aab baba ko paros do." Dadiji said when she gulped.

"Ji main, aap hi serve kar dijiye na!" She smiled nervously. She don't know why she is that much nervous, it's not the first time when she cooked for him but she don't have any answer.

"Aare darrne ki keya baat hain, chalo." Dadiji said thus Sanyukta nodded only.

"THE MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR OF INDIA RANDHIR SINGH SHEKHAWAT WAS MARRIED TO HIS EMPLOYEE SANYUKTA AGARWAL YESTERDAY."

The headline caught Randhir's attention and he lost on the newspaper when Sanyukta and dadiji came there.

"Baba zara chakh kar baata na ke kaisa bana hain." Hearing this Randhir look up from the newspaper and keep that aside.

"Aare wah halwa banaya hain?" As soon as the aroma hit his nostrils Randhir asked excitedly.

"Haan bahu ne banaya hain, aare bahu khadi kyu ho, do baba ko." Dadiji said thus Sanyukta served him.

"Aare baba khao na." Dadiji said impatiently thus Randhir smiled a little and ate a spoon full halwa next.

"Kaisa bana hain?" Dadiji asked eagerly when Sanyukta look at him curiously.

Randhir look at Sanyukta once then look at dadiji.

"DM yeh aap dono ki mili bhagat hain na! Aapni laadli bahu ke saath mill kar mere against plan kar rahe ho na?" Randhir said when both Sanyukta and dadiji look at him confusingly.

"Lekin baba humne kiya keya hain?" Dadiji asked confusingly.

"Halwa aachhi nehi bani hain keya?" Sanyukta asked with thumping heart.

"Nehi." Randhir said thus Sanyukta's face became fall.

"Bahut aachhi bani hain." Randhir said when Sanyukta's face lit up and dadiji take a relief of sigh.

"Keya baba tum vi na, aaisa koi karta hain dekho dara diya na bahu ko!" Dadiji said when Randhir laughed.

"Aachha aap dono karo tho sahi aur main karu tho galat?" Randhir raised his brows.

"Lekin maine kiya keya hain?" This time Sanyukta open her mouth and asked curiously.

"Keya kiya hain, aagar itna tasty khana banayogi tho 2 din mein tond nikal aayega mera." Randhir complained just like a kid.

"Aachha hain, tond sukhi insaan ki nishani hoti hain. Bahu thoda aur do baba ko."

"Aare bass bass aur nehi." Randhir tried to stop Sanyukta when she served him some more.

"Aab aap aapna 6 pack ki chinta chodiye aur family pack par dhyan dijiye." Sanyukta said teasingly thus Randhir smiled at her.

"Ek minute main aabhi aati hu, bahu tum dekhna ke baba yeh pura halwa khatam kare." Dadiji said when Randhir's eyes got widened. Dadiji left next when Sanyukta and Randhir are sitting there only.

"Halwa saach much aachhi bani hain yeah phir aapne dadiji ke samne jhoot bola?" Sanyukta asked suddenly thus Randhir look at her shockingly.

"Nehi bahut aachhi bani hain, saach mein." Randhir said thus Sanyukta smiled brightly.

"Thank you."

"You are welcome." He also smiled back.

"Waise Sanyukta halwa tho bahut aachhi bani hain but tumhe nehi lagta ke quantity kuch jyada hi ho geya hain." Randhir said thus Sanyukta look at him then his plate.

"Nehi tho, thik hi hain." She shrugged her shoulder.

"Keya thik hain tumne all most pura kadai daal diya hain!" Randhir said when Sanyukta pressed her lips together to control her laugh.

"Aare aapka itna bada body aur itna sa halwa nehi kha sakte!" She said teasingly thus he rolled his eyes.

"Okay, fine." He said angrily and concentrate on halwa when Sanyukta smirked inwardly. But Randhir looked at her next and their eyes met.

"Help me na, please." He pouted thus she can't help but smiled at his cute antiques.

"Okay." She nodded positively and look everywhere then take some halwa from his plate and ate.

"Itnu sa!" Randhir said thus she rolled her eyes.

"Aare itna sara tho khaya!"

"Thoda sa aur, please."

Randhir said and forwarded a spoon full halwa at her, Sanyukta smiled and ate that which didn't unnoticed by dadiji. Dadiji smiled affectionately.

"Bhagbaan mere bachho par aab kisi ki buri nazar na pare." And she sighed deeply.

"Aare bahu yeh lo tumhara nek." Dadiji came and gave Sanyukta a 500 rupee note. Sanyukta take that and bent down to touch dadiji's feet but stopped by dadiji.

"Nehi bahu, betiya payer nehi chhuti." Dadiji said when Sanyukta smiled brightly.

"Chalo baba aab tum vi bahu ko koi tofa do." Dadiji said when Randhir look at her shockingly.

"Tofa, phirse?" He raised his brows.

"Haan bahu ka nek, bahu aaj peheli baar rasoi mein jo aayi hain."

"DM aap aurate vi na, haar baat par tofa! Aare already malkin baan geyi hain aapki bahu aap aur keya tofa du?" He asked surprisingly.

"Baba tum kitne kanjus ho!" Dadiji said thus Randhir rolled his eyes.

"Okay okay no more emotional drama."

"Aare yeh tho rewaz hain!" Dadiji said surprisingly.

"Phirse rewaz!" Randhir sighed then think something and take off his gold ring from his finger and give that to Sanyukta.

"Aab khush?" He asked to dadiji.

"Aare baba yeh keya baat huyi, aanguthi sirf diya, aare pehenau bahu ko." Dadiji said thus Randhir got shocked. He look at Sanyukta when she also look at him.

"Aare baba keya huya?"
