I got up to see the time as 10:15 a.m...

Oh... God... Yash was not in the bed... I got up from the bed quickly.. Went to search him if he is sleeping in the couch... He is not there too... And I went to get refresh.. And got ready... Wearing a purple silk saree again in floating.. And Making a note to learn how to keep pleats from mom... And I just added a earring to mangalsutra and chuda bangles and engagement ring and the game ring... And I kept bindi and that's when

Yash-" ketu.. Where are you...?"

We went out of the bedroom and he took me in to the lobby and we ate the breakfast... It was a bread omelet, roti with Dhal, fruit salad, orange juice... And the food was nice...

Yash said me papa and sesh said to say their good morning to me... They have left out and will be back to lunch.. Papa went to take care of a business and sesh went to settle money with some arrangements of our marriage..

Yash-" what can we do?"

Me-" I know how will madhu aunty's house looks like and jai's house look like.. But I don't know how your house looks like... Even this room looks like..?" Said with a tease in voice...

Yash-" you haven't seen this house..."

Yash-" then come on I will give you the tour to our room and our home..." OUR ROOM, OUR HOME.. I need to get use to it god... He got up from the sofa and helped me to get up...

He showed me the room... The room had four doors in the lobby.. The lobby was big space with the was a sofa set that can accommodate seven peoples and a table in it.. And a plasma TV of 52 inches... With speaker system.. And shelfs filled with CDs.. And one door in the lobby takes to the bed room and our bedroom has dressing room door with another door leading to a balcony.. Which has a quiet a fantastic view of the lawn and the other door takes us to the bathroom( from where we can go to the dressing room) and another room took us to a small kitchen which has a microwave and a stove and a small fridge and a coffee machine and a wash basin.. And a cupboard having ingredients for coffee and tea and some snacks.... With a four chaired dinning table ....Then another door took us to a work or study room.. Were there was table in the centre and a rolling chair in one side and a four chairs before it... and a couch in one corner to sit.. And a self full of files in two sides and a door in one side to get in from out of the room... And I said it is not a room but a mini home inside a home......and he just smirked at me....And this floor has six guest rooms and which his friends uses when they come here....

And he took me to the floor below us and it was occupied by sesh.. And his floor also looked the same..

And the floor below to sesh floor has games room filled with x-box, pool games, and etc... And then a theatre room, and a swimming pool area, and a gym room, dance room and a bar with dance area with DJ system.. And four extra rooms...

And the front garden is also nice with perfect maintenance and it contained all flowering plants... And then to one side has a guest house and in another one side was car parking area.. And we left the guest house and the car shed to see another time as we need to get to house and get ready as Nadan is about to come ..... And a place having a dog house... To which I said that I don't want to go now there wearing a saree... As I am not comfortable in running in shares as I am afraid of dogs... And there is also some cattles and birds there... To all of it.. We decided to see another day.. When I don't wear a saree...

The house was much much bigger than jai's house and more elegant and beautiful than madhu aunty and jai's house.. It's not house it is looking like a palace to me...

I learned that the house is designed to the likeness of yash mother... It was beautiful... She has a great taste... I learned she is an interior designer too.. And yash took me to the surveillance room which is also in ground floor and said me to keep my hand in a machine and took my hand print.. And done something in the system application and said now I can use the places wherever he is allowed to go in the house... Since in this house all the place to get in needs fingerprint recognition... To get us enter the locked rooms and into the house... Highly secured house man... Yash said for lockers there is password.. And he said me he will teach in another day as papa and sesh came... We went down...

Papa-" good afternoon beti.."

Sesh-" good afternoon bhabi ...."

Me-" good afternoon papa and devar..." And we smiled to each other...

Yash-" good after noon papa and bhai.." Said with sarcasm dribbling in each word...

Sesh and papa-"afternoon.." Said in a monotone... And I started laughing.. And sesh and papa joined me in laughing as yash is scolding them that he was know to them longer than I am to them ....

Sesh-" don't frighten my bhabi.. Bhaiya..."

Yash-" it was fun to see her reactions..." Oh god he was making fun of me... Will do to you too man.. Wait and watch... Yash...

And then we were speaking things and Nadan came and with a hand full of sweets for us... And we went to have lunch... Gopi Bhaiya served us... As usual his foods were yummy... And I said him to teach me cook yummy like him... And he said ok...

Nadan is sitting next to me..

And Nadan phone started to ring.... And he took his phone and went away started speaking .... And he kept the phone... And was excited and sad ... And he came towards our table with neutral face.....and took his chair

Me-" who is that called you?"

Nadan-" professor.."

Me-" why did he called you...?"

Nadan -" nothing.. Just about a surgery.." What about surgery...

Me-" explain Nadan... " I gave him my determitated face and he just sighed

Nadan-" you know that there was a patient under my supervision.. That wanted to undergo liver transplantation... Got liver... And they are going to do surgery in about another two hours.... And he called me to inform me... As they are going to do it now... " yes isn't something he wanted to see... And even his professor gave Nadan assisting surgeon posting to him... It was a most complicated surgery and Nadan was eager and studied a lot to do it... As he was given an assisting surgeon position.. So he was eager that he can finally do the surgery... But sad because now.. He can't do it as he has to pick us.. Oh god..it was rare surgery and a difficult surgery to perform ... And to learn during you PG time and getting a assistant position is rare..

Me-" hey... What are you doing here.... finish eating quickly... And get going..."

Nadan-" are you kidding.. Ketu... I can do it some other time ... Now I need to pick you guys to your home..."

Me-" Nadan .... Don't be stupid... Me and yash know our way to go there.... U just shut up and go to the hospital.... It was something you loved to do... You also know it was rare to get those cases... To learn... Just shut your mouth and go learn the procedure... "

Yash-" don't worry... I can drive us to her place... I don't understand a word... But I think you need to go learn doing that surgery... We can manage... "

Nadan-" no.. It's not a problem.. I will get you guys... " I give him a look.... Is he challenging me... Nadan came towards me....

Nadan-" see I may get another chance to do it.... But I want have a pride in inlaw House... Please understand..." I just turned and I didn't speak with him... Is he being stupid...

He went to wash is hands... Leaving his phone in the table ... I took it

Me-" guys do you mind... If he goes to hospital... And yash drive us to my parents house...?"

They all said they won't mind... And I dialled his professor number...

Me-" hello sir.. "

Prof-" hello "with a doubt..

Me-" it's me ketu sir... I called you know how much more time is there for the surgery to start..."

And we continued to eat...

Me-"can I ask you guys something...?"

Papa-" sure.. What is it?"

Me-" can I continue my studies..?"

Papa-" sure.. We don't have objection... Your dad already said that he wants you to continue to study.. We said okay.."

Me-" thanks... Thank you so much..." And was smiling like crazy...

Sesh-" but you like to study in chennai or in your college itself.." I want to study in my college itself.. I don't want leave my friends... And also it's not a great idea to start a new college in the middle..

Papa-" you and yash speak about it and decide... We are okay with your decision " we nodded...

And after eating .. We went to our room ... And yash was packing his clothes.. And i am just sitting and watching him... As all my dress is my place..and I don't want to pack...

Me-" yash do you want me transfer the college or I can study in my college itself.."

Yash-" were do you want to study ketu.... ?"

Me-" I like to contunie in my college ... I don't want to leave my friends... It is also difficult to make friends and to cope with the studies in the middle of a course.... But also me being there and you being here.. I think it's a good idea to transfer..." And he just looked at me.. And observed me carefully each and every move of mine.. And I think he is now thinking......

Yash-" do like your friends... ?"

Me-" of course...!"

Yash-" then you continue your studies there... I work here... If we find it difficult then we can decide what to do... "

Me-" thanks yash" and went towards him and hugged him... He was shocked at first but then he hugged me...

And we packed ... I packed the jewels and some makeup items... And someone came and took our bags and we went down...

Papa and sesh waited for us... And papa said he has kept some gifts and sweets in the car with our luggage and said us to give to my parents...And papa asked us what we have decided.. And yash said him ...

Sesh-" eager to attend the college as a married girl?"

Me-" of course... Don't know how do my friends going to react when they learn I am married.."

Sesh-" you didn't said them?"

Me-" no... When I was about to call them I broke my phone... And then I can't get the network connection and then I got no time... And now I left to say them in straight by tomorrow..."

Sesh-" please update the drama to me..."

Sesh-"then it's all fine... Bhabii... " and we laughed

And went out to ... And I was standing still ... In shock as I am seeing the car I like to dream in front of mine... Porsche panamera turbo s black..

And I sat and he closed the door and he then sat on the driver seat... And asked me to wear the seat belt.. And we put our belt and said bye to sesh and papa and started to my parents home....

And now I am enjoying the features of the car...

Me-" nice car yash.. "

Yash-" thanks.."

Then we just went in complete silence and just with the the radio speaking and singing something... We both don't know what to speak... And as we reached the toll gate of ECR it was 6 p.m and it took us to cross chennai city two hours due to traffic.. And I got hungry

And after some time my stomach made some sounds...

Yash-" do you feel hungry..?"

Me-" yes..."

Yash-"I too feel hungry.. Were do we stop and eat..."

Me-" motel madhura...it's will come in few minutes and it will be good to eat to...in this way..."

Me-" can we play question games... If you don't mind.. ?"

Yash-" fine.. You start.."

Me-" it changes according to my mood and occasion... But now..like Like royal blue and peacock green...You?"

Me-"what do you do for earning... Don't mistake me... I don't know anything about you work.. If people ask I have to say right.. Last time sesh helped me with sumathi aunty saying I am marrying his brother...."

Yash-" no need to worry.. I am doing business.... Helping dad in taking care of family business... And I am also owning a company..."

Me-" what's the company name.. And what is your family business... And what position is yours over there... Etc.. Questions that would give me a idea about your work life to answer if someone ask me question of what you do..." And he laughed at me...

Yash -" fine... " with smile..

And he started explaining me... He is owning TAFLE video game company... And it's turn over is two billion dollars per month... And he started it two years back after finishing his masters in business administration...in London business school... then he is owning his own shares in many companies and in their family business he is assistant Chairman ...

Yash-"ADZI GROUPS..."oh... I think my mouth touched the ground ... As yash is smirking...

Me-" you are not kidding me right..?" What he has to be kidding... ADZI group is having all he and they keep their hands in all most field of bussiness but they are multibillionaires....

Yash-" no.."

Me-" so you are saying me to believe... That I married a freaking multibillionaire... ?"

Yash-" hmmm.. I am saying to believe you that we own a multibillionaire business.."

Me-" I still can't believe you... But will try to believe... But my parents never said you people are this rich.. They just said you people are rich.."

Yash-" fine try believing... Because they always treat like normal being and not for our money.....Now say me what are you doing?"

Me-" oh.. Maybe they always said how good people you are.....I am studying M.B.B.S and I am going to do my pre final year starting tomorrow and waiting for my second year results...

And enjoying the college life with pocket money given by my parents.. "

Yash -" nice description... But from now onwards I would like you enjoy your college life with pocket money given by your husband... "

I was stunned to say some think.. And I am dumbstruck... I didn't believe my voice so I just nodded my head...

Yash-" your favourite food...?"

Me-" there are many... Cold drinks and ice cream , chocolates, KFC chicken and cold cafe, egg, crab are all time favourites with any mood ..... Yours?"

Yash-" there are many........your kesari...... Ice cream , and briyani... And others changes with mood..."

Me-" thanks.. "

Yash-" I missed one item... I like your pongal..."

Me-" really I will make you alone one tomorrow specially..."

Yash-" no prob... I will have some other time... But please put less salt... As my doctor said me to have less salt as it is good for my health....."

Me-" will take care of it... Don't worry... Yash.. "And we laughed at my pongal...

Me-"do you have any love story in your past....?"

And before he can answer me.... My phone started ring it was from varun... And asked us where we are.. And I said we will reached the outskirts and will be there in another 20 minutes...

And then Nadan called me and asked whether we reached or not... I said will be reaching in another fifteen minutes.. And he said the surgery went well... And just now it ended.. And actually he done the surgery and his professor just assisted him... And said me thanks and sorry... And We congratulated him..... And he said he will come and see me as soon as the patient becomes stable... And I said okay... And we bid our good nights ... And i ended the call

then my home came into the view and yash parked his car... And we got down of the car and went towards my home.. And my mom and dad , varun were standing out and welcomed us... And my flats members are also standing out and welcomed us... And they congratulated us... And said us to have a happy life in future....Mom took arthi to us... Took us inside.... And the flat members went to their home as it was now 11p.m... They actually don't know that I got married as my parents just came home only today morning... They stayed in the home place village yesterday as it was late after dropping my grandmother there.... And my flat members learned I got married only now ... When they came to leave their ve chiles back in shed... In this place there is a practice to get the bike out from the shed in the morning( the trimming will differ)and put back the bike in the shed in the night in mostly same timing that time the men's of the flats will have a round table conversation...

So by that round table conversation they learned I am married.. And were waiting to wish me...

And we went in and mom gave us all milk... And we had it.. And she took me to bedroom and asked do I like the inlaw house.. And I said I like like it but need some time to get comfortable and love it like love here... And she said its normal and she is happy to hear I like... And she said me she is there to provide advice or help we I need....

And she said us to take the bedroom and they sleep in the hall...

And I said no need me and yash sleep in my room and and said those three to sleep in the bedroom.. And mom said only one can sleep in that bed freely and if two of you sleep it will be congested... And I said we will manage and said her not to worry and to make her accept my decision I have to say her.. Anyhow we are not going to do anything so it is okay I will sleep in the floor and he will sleep in the bed... And mom just stared at me... And I said her all the thing happen ended in the first night as she asked... And she said me.. 'Oh'... And then as we were going out of the room... She said me.. I understand you need time .... But don't miss the man that respect your decision by making him wait long.... And you are a intelligent girl.. To know things.... And I too respect that you two need time to first understand each other..

And then me and yash slept in my room.. After little fight on who to sleep on the floor.. We both slept on the floor... With pillow separating us...
