*Satvi Pov*

After a few seconds he slowly stepped back and turned towards me even more slowly with a hand covering his mouth casually. I didn't look away because I know something is definitely wrong with the look he has in his eyes.

He moved his hand away, gesturing at the cloth he tied around my face and shook his head a little. And then slowly placed his finger on his lips.

When I nodded, understanding his words, he calmly sighed and turned towards the door saying, "Mother!"

Mother? He has a mother? That is so stupid of me. Of course, he will have a mother, but why is he so cold towards her too.

Maybe this is his personality with everyone! I thought, frowning but brushed my thoughts away when a short woman walked inside with the head held high.

"Where have you been, Rohan? It's like you have disappeared from the world." She asked him shaking her head.

"I am busy with work!" he simply replied, and I leaned on the table with my hand under my chin, and even a little yawn left my mouth.

"Why do you work so hard, Rohan? You have other family members who can help you right?" She asked smiling a little.

"No! I can manage." Again curt replies from him making me feel interesting to hear this and to see where it will go.

"Ok! But don't involve that gold digger Swetha in this business. She will take away everything." She said with such hatred that I really felt so sorry for Swetha.

"Hmm." He mumbled, making me look at him in shock.

Hmm? That's all he has to say when his own mother is insulting his wife, whom he loves so much like he says?

"I still can't believe you married a girl who is below our status. She must have poisoned your mind and made you do it." She just continued, and I stood up not able to hear another word.

"I am here!" I said in a muffled tone because of the cloth covering my mouth too.

They both turned to look at me hearing my voice. While one has a shock expression which turned into a bored immediately, while other, have a warning for me and that is from none other than my sweet husband.

"So? But why are you covering your face?" She asked frowning.

"Uhmm... uhmm... house cleaning." I replied immediately after a few seconds.

"See? This is what I am talking about. She is part of Choksi family, but what is she doing? She is cleaning the house like some servant. It is still not late, Rohan. You can divorce her and marry someone." She said looking at him, and I was like 'Hello?'.

"Mother! I have some work." That's all he said.

"I even have a list of great girls whom I drew for your brother, but he is running the opposite side whenever I talk to him about it. He is always thinking about work making me feel worried about him. Anyway, shall I bring the photos here tomorrow?" She asked sweetly.

"Mother!" he said calmly.

What the hell is wrong with this guy? So he has a soft spot for his mother? Well then, I guess it is time to have some fun and give a little payback and also to make something right from wrong.

"One second!" I said, walking towards them before she says anything else ignoring the warning look from Rohan.

"Hello Mrs.Choksi! I am well... what a coincidence. I am also Mrs.Choksi." I said, waving my hand at her while she looked at me with shock.

"Don't!" I heard a warning from Rohan, who is standing beside me.

"Darling! Don't interfere." I said smiling at him before walking more putting him behind me and stood completely before her.

"Now, where were we?" I asked her tapping my chin.

"Listen girl! I don't have to talk to someone like you who is nothing but a gold digger." She replied spatting the words.

"Oh my god! I didn't know that I was wearing a mirror on my face." I said gasping and hearing my words she gasped back.

"You!" she said fuming while I just shrugged, completely enjoying some entertainment.

"Again! Where were we?" I asked myself tapping my chin.

"Don't again insult another person without knowing them. And you can say what I just did is the same, but I just said that I must have a mirror on my face so all you have to do is to say 'You are a good girl!' and TADA you will be too." I replied myself.

"Rohan! See what your wife is saying to me. She doesn't even know how to respect the elders." She said, glancing back to look at him.

"What you did is also wrong right? I am standing here, and you were practically getting my husband a thought to marry someone else." I said calmly.

"He will marry someone else soon and will leave you." She said, and I sighed now feeling bored hearing the same words.

"Go ahead! Get a divorce to both of us and I will be gone." I said and she literally looked shocked.

"What?" she asked with same expression.

"Yeah! I don't mind it at all." I said, shaking my head.

"But be prepared to let go of half of the property." I added and this time she frowned looking at me.

"Didn't get it? We didn't sign a pre-nup before marriage at all. Just imagine what will happen when we divorce and to top of that, I don't have my own source of income. I am so unable to get one after marriage, so I would have to get some extra things after marriage." I said sighing dramatically like I am at a loss here.

She took a step back in a complete daze before glancing behind me to see whether he will say negative about my words.

"You are what I expected. You want his money and the properties and want to enjoy all this." She said with a smug look.

"Yes! Because this is my husband's, and I have every right to enjoy all this. Now be a good mother-in-law and run away." I said, staring directly at her.

"Excuse me?" She asked with a disbelief look in her eyes.

"This is my son's house." She added when I gave her a raised eyebrow.

"So? This is my house too, and I don't want you here. The majority always wins." I said, and she frowned at me.

"Majority?" she asked, still frowning.

"The furniture too counts and at present they are saying that they don't want you here. Now shoo." I said, waving my hands gesturing her towards the door.

"I will not leave you alone and don't think that just because now you can say anything you wish doesn't make you different from the lamb you are. This act will not help you all the time." She said before leaving the house.

"Don't worry my dear furniture, she is gone." I said, looking around and turned back to meet his angry eyes with my smug look.

But when I turned around, I literally had to take a step back like a blow was sent towards me with force. Here I insulted his mother and all he is doing is smiling like there is no tomorrow.

"Are you ok?" I asked him warily and started removing the cloth around my face feeling suffocated.

When I did and again look at him, I was suddenly engulfed in a hug before I could blink my eyes. Ok! What is actually happening here? Is my husband really hugging me? I thought, frowning, but just stood there still with the effects I felt seeing him smile.

I never saw him smile like never, so this is really a shock to me, and here another shock is that he is hugging me tightly. I slowly patted on his back, and then he realized what he is doing and immediately stepped back.

"Have you gone mad? I just insulted your Mother, and you are hugging me and also smiling at me?" I asked him when he walked towards the main door to lock it.

"I am perfectly fine, but all I am feeling is happiness. I should actually say thanks to you for the thing you did today." He replied, turning back and started walking towards me.

"You lost me." I said not at all understanding his words.

"She always insulted my Swetha. Today's is just a very little from the before taunts. She never said a word back to her and let her do all the insults. But today she got it back, and she deserves them." He said with satisfaction.

"What were you doing at that time then? Were you standing like a statue like you did today? If you really love your wife, then you should have backed her up." I said feeling disappointed in him.

Because no matter how angry I feel for him, I always feel envy seeing his strong love for his wife. But today I am more than disappointed in him.

"Of course not! I want to do everything I can and even decided to stop her from entering here, but Swetha didn't want something to happen and break my relation with my Mother. And even made me promise not to say anything to my mother when she says anything to Swetha." He said fuming at me.

"Why do you not like your Mother?" I asked him suddenly frowning.

"She is my step-mother." That's all he replied and I kind of got the picture, but he added saying, "My Dad is dead."

"Well, now I will not make you promise at all. So you can stop her from entering these premises, and I don't have a problem at all." I said not liking the awkwardness before turning away from him.

I was about to climb the steps when I heard him, saying, "Don't wear those stupid clothes again over your head. Even a Muslim woman removes them in front of their husbands."

I turned around surprised but he is already leaving the house, eating an apple, and I just stared at the door even after it closed.

Don't give me these shocks! I shouted in my head before walking to our room to take a rest so that I can overcome the tiredness I am feeling with all the bickering with my mother-in-law who is the sweetest person in the world.
