After spending some quality time with each other, Anika went to kitchen to complete her first rasoi ritual.

Everyone was sitting in the living room and chatting happily but there was one person who was very tensed and restless. He was none other than our Hero Shivaay.

He was continuously trying to go to the kitchen to look at Anika but Jhanvi has prohibited him to go to the kitchen. Shivaay was trying to peep in the kitchen when Jhanvi saw him.

J- Sit straight, Shivaay. Why are you crawling on the sofa like a snake? 😂

Everybody chuckled at him.

S(whines) - Mom, why are you not letting me go inside the kitchen?

J- Because husbands are not allowed to enter the kitchen during first rasoi ritual.

S- What kind of stupid ritual is this?

J- This is a ritual and you have to follow it. Anyways why do you want to go to kitchen so badly?

S- Ummm.... Wo.... I.... I want water... Yes... Water.

Jhanvi smirks and hands him a glass of water. Shivaay groans in frustration.

S- Ummm... Wo... I will just go and check if Anika is doing the things right or not?

Shivaay gets up from the sofa bit Jhanvi pulls him back.

J- Shivaay.

S- Ok, fine. I want to help Anika. She was already very tired from all this journey and wedding. She had headache in the morning also. She didn't tell me about it but I know as she was again and again caressing her forehead.

Everyone looks at him stunned because he was not the same Shivaay. This Shivaay was responsible and caring as well.

S- Please mom. Let me go. Anyways, this is our wedding and why always daughter-in-laws have to follow all the rituals? Why can't sons participate in the rituals as well? We have to share our life together, then why can't we share rituals?

Jhanvi and Tej were proud of their son.

J-Go.

S- Huh?

T- What? Go son. Fast if you don't want your mom to change her decision.

Shivaay chuckles and Jhanvi glares at Tej.

J- I just hope that I got a husband like my son. I am so proud of him.

T- Oh really! I also just hope that I got a wife like my lovely daughter. She is so cute.

J- Really!

Both look at each other and burst into laughter.

Here Shivaay enters the kitchen and saw Anika was running here and there in the kitchen. One time, she is stirring the curry, another time, she is cutting the vegetables. Multitasking at the same time. Shivaay looks at her in disbelief.

He went towards her and snaked his hands around her waist from behind.

A- Shivaay! What are you doing here? If mom will see you here then she'll get angry.

S- I've already asked her permission.

A- Oh! So what are you doing here?

Shivaay left her waist and immediately picked her up in his arms and Anika squealed surprisingly.

A- Shivaay! Leave me. I have to cook.

Shivaay made her sit on the kitchen platform.

S- No. You will sit here and I will cook.

A- But Shivaay, its my first rasoi and I have to cook.

S- Ok. Did you prepared something now?

A- Yes. I have prepared kheer and I was going to prepare the curry and chapatis.

S- You have already prepared kheer right?

Anika nods her head innocently.

S- That's enough for your first rasoi and the rest of the meal, I'll prepare the rest for my first rasoi.

Anika looks at him confusingly.

A- Huh? Your first rasoi?

S- So what? I am also preparing the food for the first time after our marriage.

Anika chuckles.

A- These rituals doesn't happen like this.

S- But it will happen in our case and I'll make sure that it our kids also follow the same rituals.

Anika's face turned red with blush after the mention of the kids. She turns her face to the other side to hide her blush from Shivaay. But Shivaay already noticed it.

S- I just love this red colour on your cheeks, my blushing jaan.

Anika blushed to the deepest shade of red.

S- Ok. Now stop distracting me. I have to concentrate on my first rasoi otherwise my in-laws are going to taunt me. 😂

Shivaay says dramatically and Anika chuckles at him.

Shivaay prepared a curry, chapati and rice.

S- Everything is done. Now let's go and keep all this on the table.

Shivaay and Anika arranged the food on the dining table.

Everybody came and sat on their chair.

T- Let's see what my doll has prepared?

A- Actually, dad. I have only prepared kheer, rest of the food is prepared by Shivaay.

Anika was scared that what will be their reactions. Shivaay held her hand and asked her to calm down.

J- Ok. Then let's see what our son-in-law has prepared?

Everybody chuckles and Shivaay whines.

S- Mom.

O- Ok. Jokes apart. Let's have our food.

R- Yes please. If I didn't get food for another minute, then I'll definitely die out of hunger.

Rudra says dramatically and Om smacks his head.

O- Drama Queen.

R- Don't change my gender, O.

Everybody chuckles.

J- Come on. Sit Shivaay and Anika.

A- I'll serve you all then I can have my food.

Tej stood up from his place and held Anika's hand. He made her sit on his chair.

T- Today I'll serve.

A- But....

T- Hmmm...

Tej signs her to sit down. Anika surrenders and sits down on the chair.

Tej uncovers the bowls.

PANEER BUTTER MASALA

TANDOORI ROTI

MATAR PULAO

KHEER

J- Hmmm. Everything looks so delicious.

M- Yes. Now I think I'll make a pool of saliva. My mouth is drooling after looking at this yummy food. 😂

Everyone gives an ewww look to Mallika.

Mallika looks at them and frowns.

M- What? Ok. I'll not make a pool. 😂

Everyone bursts into laughter.

Tej served food to everyone and sat beside Jhanvi.

After having their food, everyone was delighted.

T- The food was really very delicious. Even better than Jhanvi's.
The kheer was something out of this world. It was heavenly.

J- I agree. The food was really awesome. (To Anika) Anika beta, come here.

Anika came and stood beside Jhanvi. Jhanvi took out a jewellery box and handed it to Anika.

Anika opened it and was stunned to see the beauty of the necklace.

A- It's so beautiful mom. It will look very good on you.

Jhanvi chuckles and pats her cheek lightly.

J- Its for you beta. The food was very good, so it's a small gift for you.

Anika was shocked.

A- But mom... How can I take it? It's very expensive.

J- Beta, now everything which belongs to us is yours and Shivaay's, so never hesitate in taking anything from us. Please accept it. It's a blessing from us.

Anika smiles and takes it. She bends down to touch her feet but Jhanvi stops her in middle and hugs her.

Tej also pats her head lightly.

S- this is not fair. All the gifts for your daughter no gift for me.

T- Oh Sh*t, Jhanvi! We totally forgot gift for our son-in-law. 😂

Jhanvi hits Tej on his shoulder.

J- Stop it, Tej. Don't tease my son.

Jhanvi forwards a box to Shivaay and Shivaay takes it.

J- This is for you.

Shivaay opens the box and it was a Rolex watch.

S- Wow, mom dad. Rolex latest collection. Thank you so much. You guys are love.

He excitedly hugs them. Anika chuckles at his excitement.

Tej and Jhanvi hugs him back.

J- Now let's head towards the next ritual.

Everybody nods and settles themselves on the floor of the living room.

S- Why are we sitting like this, mom?

J- Have patience, Shivaay.

Anika chuckles.

Shivaay went near her and whispers in her ear-

S- You are chuckling very much today. I'll tell you later alone. Ahem ahem. 😉

Anika looks at him stunned.

T- Stop whispering love birds and get back to your place.

Shivaay straightens himself and sat on his place.

Gauri and Mallika brought a big bronze container filled with milk and rose petals and kept it in between Shivaay and Anika.

S- Now what is this? Don't tell me, we have to drink this, mom. I won't be able to.😂

Shivaay tells shockingly to Jhanvi.

J- You don't have to drink this, Shivaay. I will drop a ring in this milk and stir it and then you both have to find it. The one who finds it first will rule his/her partner throughout their life.

S- Oh!

Jhanvi drops the ring in the container and stirs it.

J- Start.

Shivaay and Anika puts their hand in the container and starts finding the ring. But a mischievous idea clicked in Shivaay's mind.

He looks at Anika who was finding the ring with full dedication.

He slowly interlocked his fingers with hers in the milk. Anika immediately looks at him shockingly.

She asks him through signs that what is he doing but he just smirks.

T- Shivaay leave doll's hand.

Shivaay and Anika looks at him shockingly.

T- What? I have x-ray in my eyes and I can see what's happening in the milk. 😏

Tej smirks at Shivaay. Shivaay left her hand immediately and starts finding the ring with full concentration.

Everyone was controlling their laughter.

Finally after some time, Shivaay and Anika found the ring at the same time and took it out.

O Jaana plays.

(A/n- Please play the song in the media box.)

Shivaay and Anika looks at each other and share an eyelock.

Everyone claps for them but they were lost in their own world.
