"Helloo...."

I answered my idiot's... oops, my fiance or can say boyfriend Dev's call while yawning.

"Good morning Queen of my heart...",

He greeted me in his usual flirtatious way. Oh God! This sucks... in response I sarcastically greeted him back,

"Good morning queen's Butler..."

"Hey,....instead of calling me king, you are calling me a butler. At least you would have given me a better title than a butler...huh."

He grumbled and I laughed mockingly. Wow! What a great start to a long day. I won't deny that I love to irritate him. Suddenly I remembered something and asked Dev directly,

"Umm Dev, did something happened there at your place in the morning. Is everything fine?"

"Yup, everything's ok here. But what happened? Why did you ask this question all of a sudden? Is everything fine at your place?"

Look at this idiot...On asking a single question. Instead of giving me a proper answer, he asked me three questions. What a fool! Urgh!!

But I'm confused should I ask this thing or not? Maybe I should....

"Yes yes everything is fine but...tell me one thing why was Shreya Bhabhi seemed pissed off when she returned home from your place?... I even asked Abhi Bhai but he said he himself does not know the reason behind her frown..."

"Oh so Dii is still angry with what happened before the breakfast...Actually............."

He then told me everything in one go.

" Well Manjiri seems sweet...

If ever because of you steaming hot tea would had fallen on my hands, then I would have spilled the whole tea on you all at once."

"Oh alright, I'll always keep that in my mind and will never dare to make such an attempt...afterall I care for my handsome face more than anything... But yes you are right, Manjiri Bhabhi is just like Shri Bhabhi... and you know what till now I haven't heard her uttering a single word, I think you should learn something from her."

Hearing Dev I felt pity for Manjiri, literally she has suffered a lot. Well Shri Bhabhi and I share a good bond and she often used to talk about her sister to me....so I guess I can claim that I know Manjiri well. Though I never met her. While being engrossed in these thoughts, I muttered

"Sometimes you just gotta learn to be quiet even when you have a lot to say..."

I myself didn't even know what I said. Both of us didn't speak for a couple of minutes. I realized, maybe what I just said was too deep for this idiot to understand. That is why he didn't respond. After a long pregnant pause, he blabbered in hurry

" Alright then, have to leave for the hospital. You also go and get ready, and leave for your clinic. Will call you at night. Bye!"

And he disconnected the call without even letting me reply... Typical Dev!!! Oh God! Why is he so silly...

Oh I'm getting late, I have to rush...

"Overthinking ruins everything no matter how good it is....."

Though Ved said that it was nothing serious, but still my heart is not agreeing. Is he hiding something from me? He himself looked so upset. Who would have called him?

Suddenly, I started feeling something weird in my heart. No, it can't be. Why will they call now? Didn't they get what they wanted? Now why will they call us? I don't want to think about all this as whenever I think about it my heart hurts. I will never forgive them for what they did to me and my Dadi. And for the sake of what they were about to do with Miru...far from talking, I won't even let them come near her. This is my promise to myself...

The more I convinced my heart to not think about all this, the more my mind ignores me...urgh!

My trance got broken as Badi Maa, my mother in law, called my name. Her voice came from Kaveri Dadi's room, so I went there and saw all the elder ladies,i.e., Dadi, Badi Maa and Chhoti Maa sitting at their places while having a serious discussion. And my Miru was standing besides Chhoti Maa. Maybe she has just arrived , that is why she's standing. I entered the room and stood beside Miru. But she didn't even looked at me as if she didn't care if I exist or not. Oh God, do something otherwise her silence and ignorance will kill me one day.

Dadi smiled seeing both of us and said looking towards us,

"Come here both, sit beside me."

We both politely obeyed her. Suddenly I realized that it was Badi Maa who called me and in all of this I forgot to ask her why she had called. So I asked,

"Maa, what happened? You called me."

To which Badi Maa nodded with a smile, "Yes dear, we need to ask you something."

"Yes Maa, say." I replied.

"We are thinking to fix day after tomorrow's date for Shaurya and Manjiri's reception, is it okay with you."

Chhoti Maa asked me concerningly. Before I could speak, she continued

"We even asked Manjiri, she's absolutely fine with the date. What about you beta?"

"Is she?"

I questioned shockingly or can say surprisingly. I mean I'm happy that she is comfortable and has no problem with reception party, but deep down I'm tensed that maybe she is unwillingly accepting every damn thing just for the sake of everyone's happiness. Should I talk to her? Would she like to talk to me? Absolutely not...oh God!!! I looked at her, she was expressionlessly sitting and was staring into the space. Badi Maa's words snapped me back to the reality

"We have even asked others, nobody is having any problem with it. So tell us shall we fix the date."

"If you all feel fine then I don't mind either."

I told them with a smile.I said so because I felt like that I was overthinking. If everyone is happy in this then me and my overthinking have no right to snatch their happiness from them.

Soon after my approval, the elder ladies started discussing about the arrangements and outfits. Badi Maa called Ved and asked him to make a hotel booking for the function. She hanged up the phone saying,

"Make sure all arrangements should be done properly. Meet the hotel manager while returning from the hospital."

All of a sudden Chhoti Maa said,

"Shri beta, this time as well we'll design an outfit together... and I firmly believe that this design will prove to be our best design. After all we will be designing for Manjari...."

I smilingly replied to her, "Absolutely Chhoti Maa."

But to my surprise, this time Miru looked at me. And by her face, I sensed that there's a continuous chaos going on in her mind.

I wish I could erase the confusion of her contemplation.........

"Allow yourself some time to figure out what your life really wants from you....."

Should I enter in or not?? But I have to as I can't stay here like this. There's no other option left. But it's his room.

Well let me rewind, everyone has started preparing for the reception since afternoon. Even while having dinner, reception and arrangements were being talked about. And by their talks, I easily figured out that it is going to be an extravagant event. Soon after having dinner, everyone engaged in a small talk and then retired to their respective rooms. I was with Chhoti Maa for the last half an hour as she had to get some measurements in order to make my outfit. Well Chhoti Maa runs her own boutique, Dii being a fashion designer works with her.

But now look at me, here I'm biting my nails while being standing at the entrance of the room.

"Be courageous Miru, he'll not eat you up. Ignore him just like you always do."

I whispered this to myself. And with this thought I slowly opened the door and stepped inside. Thank God! He is talking to somebody on the phone while being fully engrossed in the laptop. I guess he didn't notice my presence, so I quickly ran towards the washroom in order to change.

I wish I could sleep here only, i.e., in the washroom,...as I don't want to face him. I accept that he isn't scary but what to do he makes me nervous with his stares... uff!

I slowly peeked out , fortunately he was still talking on the phone. But no sooner did I close the washroom's door then he finished speaking and hung up the call. And the moment he looked towards me, I felt like I might broke out in cold sweat due to nervousness and awkwardness.

Suddenly, he uttered some words in a calm tone which made me................
