A newly wedded couple is seen in their room. The room is well decorated as it was their first night. The bride was sitting on the bed with her veil on. Hearing footsteps, her heart beat increased and she clutched her heavy lehenga with her hands.

Boy: hmm...Piya. I want to speak with you regarding our marriage.

Piya removes her veil, comes and stands near Abhay, her husband.

Abhay: well Piya, i just married you because of the insistence of my brother. I just don't believe in these relationships and all. Hope you understand. But don't worry, you will have all rights of being a daughter in law of this house and I won't interfere in your life. You can do what you want happily. In the same way, I don't like anyone touching my things or messing up with me. We are just two strangers living under the same room. Hope it's clear. 

Piya not knowing how to react just stood there silently. Abhay after giving a glance at her settles himself in the couch.

Piya just sits on the bed looking at his cute innocent face which looks very peaceful. 

Her pov:
"Bhagawan ji!! did I do so many sins that at first you took my parents away from me but still looking my mom in the orphanage caretaker, I spent whole 23 years expecting to get a family at-least after my marriage. But here (a lone tear escaped from her eyes which she didn't care to wipe off) if he wants to live his own life, then why did he marry me. If my husband only don't love me then how will his family treat me."

Thinking all these, she doze off keeping her head on her knees with various thoughts.

Next morning, Abhay's sleep broke hearing knocking sound on the door. As he woke up, he saw Piya sleeping in sitting position only in a most uncomfortable way. He went and woke her up.

Abhay: Good morning Piya, go and get freshen up. It won't be good if bhabhi sees you like this.

Piya obliges silently while Abhay opens the door.

Swara smiling: Good morning Abhay!! (she looked around but not finding Piya) You both come down after freshening up, you have to do a small puja today. Okay?

Abhay nods and Swara leaves from there. After 30 minutes, the newly wedded couple descends the stairs and are greeted by smiling Swara and Sanskar. Swara takes Piya along with her to the mandir and makes her sit beside Abhay. They both complete all the rituals.

Swara: Piya, as it is your first day in this house, you need to make a sweet. By the way, do you know cooking?

Piya just nods in yes.

Swara taking her to the kitchen: From then on I have been speaking continuously but you didn't utter even a single word. (holding her shoulders) Piya, treat me like your sister and be friendly. Now tell me what shall we make? vaise Abhay loves Gulab Jamun.

Piya without any expressions: Oh then I will make that only.

Swara: acha, so you will make only for your husband...what about us? (she turned her face with a pout)

Piya worried: No no bhabhi, I didn't mean that...I...   

Swara bursting into laughter: Oh my god Piya, look at your face. Relax dear, I was just joking.

Hearing laughing sounds, Sanskar and Abhay too come there.

Sanskar: Not fair girls, you both are enjoying leaving us.

Swara: Who asked you not to join?

Abhay: Bhabhi, what shall we make for breakfast?

Swara: your wife wants to make gulab jamun for you (she says the last two words stressing them only to tease Abhay for which he looks here and there and tried diverting the topic)

Abhay: we will make aloo paratha then. (He along with Sanskar gets busy with the flour)

Piya looks at all of them being confused. Swara understanding her situation: Piya, this is quite common in this house. They are used to cooking as they lived all by themselves for the past 15 years when they lost their parents. From then on Sanskar took up the responsibility of his little brother who was just 12 then. I came into their life just 3 years back and I regret why did god sent me so late. They both are life of each other and I must say we both are the most luckiest girls to be part of their lives. (All this while Piya is just looking at Abhay with mixed feelings "May be you are lucky Bhabhi but I am not, your Abhay doesn't want me in his life")

She comes out of her thoughts hearing Abhay's voice.

Abhay complaining: Bhabhi, see na bhai is not letting me help him.

Sanskar: Bacha, how many times I have to tell you, you won't cut vegetables, it will hurt you. Let me do it.

Swara smiling and Piya admiring their bond start their preparation. Finally, they arranged all the dishes on the table and completed their breakfast. Sanskar praised Piya a lot while she was just giving an expectant look at Abhay but in vain. 

As it's time to leave for their offices, Abhay hugs Swara bidding her bye and as he was about to leave, Sanskar stops him.

Sanskar: Abhay now you are married, start concentrating on your wife. Take her out and spend some time with her.

Abhay: bhai, I have an important meeting and Piya also have her work right? 

Saying this he left from there not paying any attention to his brother's shouts. Sanskar frustrated just leaves from there too not before caressing Piya's hair while she tried holding back her tears.

Swara to lighten the atmosphere: Piya, I thought after Abhay's marriage I will have some company at home but now you will also go out leaving me alone (she fakes sadness and keeps a pout)

Piya smiling: bhabhi, don't worry I can work from home itself.  

Swara's face enlightened: How?

Piya: I take orders from online for weddings and other special occasions and design dresses as well as sarees. For this we don't need to go anywhere. The only thing we need to do is to go for shopping and I would love to go with you. (she tells this showing Swara her website and few sample designer sarees she made)

Swara looks at all of them fascinated: Piya, will you make one saree for me too.

Piya: Ofcourse bhabhi.

As days passed by, Sanskar and Piya became good friends and started teasing Abhay together. Piya gets lots of love from Sanskar and Swara. And she never felt lonely with their presence. Every afternoon, Piya have this habit of writing diary about various things she would like to share with someone but couldn't. 

Abhay being a workaholic spends most of his time in his office. So, that little awkwardness is still remaining between Abhay and Piya. 

On one similar day, Abhay got ready to his office and was about to go, he remembered that he had to take a file. He goes back to his room but is hesitant to enter as Piya was getting ready. So he calls Swara.

Abhay: Bhabhi, please get me my file from my room. I have to leave in 10 minutes. It's very urgent.

Swara: Abhay, you are right in front of your room. Go and get it.

Abhay: Areey i can't go in as she...she is getting ready. So please....

Swara: come on Abhay, she is your wife. Don't feel shy. (Laughing she leaves from there)

Having no other go, he slowly opens the door and looks around. He heaves a sigh of relief as she is not in the room. Hurriedly he went towards the cup board and took his file. 

On the other room where Swara was eating Sanskar's brain.

Swara: It has been 2 months since Abhay and Piya got married but yet I feel they don't know anything about each other properly Sanskar. I mean there is no try from Abhay. He never takes her out nor spends any time with her. Seriously not even a date.

Sanskar: Come on Swara, it's their personal matter. How can we interfere between them?

Swara: No Sanskar...though Piya never complained but I can understand that she is longing for her husband's love. And there is nothing wrong in it right?

Sanskar: Okay baba, so you want me to send them on a honeymoon.

Swara: No, I want to go to honeymoon with you.

Sanskar's eyes popped out hearing  his wife's new demand: Swara it's already three years that we are married. 

Swara: Oh now I understood, you got bored of me so soon. huh (she turned her face in anger)

Sanskar gulped looking at his angry bird: you are taking me wrong Swara, leaving a newly married couple, how can we go out...I mean how will they feel...

Swara: I don't know anything, you are taking me or not (folding her hands, she said sternly)

Sanskar helplessly agrees and left from there.

In Abhiya's room

As he closed the cupboard, he heard anklets sound as Piya came out of the washroom wearing a pink designer saree humming a song and busy in drying her hair. Abhay slowly looked at her through the mirror and that is when he realized that he has one of the most beautiful women in his life that too as his wife. At the same time Piya too looked at him.

Piya: Abhay, you haven't left for office? What happened, do you need anything?

Abhay was just staring at her. He placed the file on the bed and went near her, holding her shoulders, he turned her again towards the mirror. Sliding her hair aside, he tied the doris of her blouse while his finger tips caressed her well exposed back sending shivers to her for which she closed her eyes, tightly gripping her saree. He smiled looking at his effect on her. Their moment was disturbed by Swara's voice.

Swara: Piya, come down faster, I am feeling hungry.

Both of them came into senses and Abhay immediately left from there feeling embarrassed taking his file leaving Piya who is all red like tomato.

Piya joined Swara for breakfast. During that time,

Swara: Piya, I don't know I can ask you this or not...(hesitantly) how is your relationship with Abhay?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here, I end today's part. Hope it is not that boring.

How is Abhay's bond with Swara and Sanskar?

Did you like Swara and Piya's bonding?

What do you think Swara wants to go on a honeymoon all of a sudden?
