"Wow aalo ke parathe ,( potato stuffed flatbread) jaanu you are great" .avni exclaimed happily.

"Tujhe sharam nahi aati , ye bechari saara din kitchen mein lage rehte hain  tujhe ye nahi lagta ki aa kar help karde but tujhe toh ek chai tak aat banane nahi aate , kon karega tujhse shaddi, Haye bhagwan". Her mom said.(Don't you have any shame . She is working in the kitchen all the time and you don't even help her. You can't even prepare tea . Who will marry you? Oh god)

" Mom , chill yaar . Jaanu ko main bolti ho ki mujhe help karne de but ye deti hi nahi." (Mom chill . I asked her if she needs my help but she denied)

"Taki tu kitchen ko jala de . No thanks" jaanvi replied.(so that you will burn the kitchen down)

"Dekh lo  isse apna kitchen bhaut pyaara hain  toh"  (see.  She is in imense love with her kitchen) . " She replied.

"What an answer avu ". I chuckled.

"Aree maa aap kyu tension lete ho apne pati ko roz Zomato se khana order kar ke khelayigi "Abhimaan said entering the kitchen.(mom Why are u taking tension . She will feed him by ordering food from Zomato)

(Zomato is a food delivery app in India)

Damn ! He ia looking like a Greek god. How does he manage to look so handsome and hot every single time.

By spending one hour in the gym" my mind mocked me.
Yeah every morning he worked out while i wander in my room. Obviously i can't sleep due to my insomnia.

Well well well i am no more shocked cause this has become kind of a routine for him . While we are preparing breakfast he enters the kitchen and have little time with maa and avu.
Not only this he is even having Indian breakfast past few days. And by hos expression i can tell he is loving it.

Well something i can be proud of atleast.

My thoughts were broken by the siblings bantering with eachother.

I really missed this bond in my life .

Well you missed all the bonds in your life" my conscious mind mocked me.

Well true.

Everyone sat on the breakfast table and i Started serving.

Mom glared at me.

I smiled sheepishly and sat beside abhimaan.

Well its mom rule that" everyone has thier own hands and can serve very well so i am strictly advised to sit and enjoy breakfast with everyone..

"Abhi beta(dear) i was thinking about your reception" dad said.

" Yess its high time I think people should know about your marriage"
Mom said.

"Haa mom dad even i was thinking but i think it's still early" abhimaan siad.

What doesn't he want people to know that he is married to me . Obviously jaanvi look at you from which angel do you like his wife. Obviously he would be embarrassed of me. First of all he is forced into this marriage but he is till carrying this baggage for his family. He can get more girls which are much better than me and has much better qualifications than me .

"Why beta" mom asked.

"Maa you know na i am a business man and in my circle people tend to attack each other with thier weak points, and I don't want media to know about jaanvi yet . Till date i have protected avni from media and kept her covered up ."

"But one day it has to happened"

"Yeah mom one day and that one day is not near . I want to cover it up toll i can" Abhimaan announced.

Oh god look like I overthinked .

Abhimaan's pov:

I got ready for my office and came downstairs . I heard  jaanvi' s giggling voice. What a treat to my ear early in the morning.
I entered the kitchen and spend some time with my family.
Now it's became kind of a routine . After her entereance in my life . My life has completely changed.
I have started liking desi breakfast. I mean i love Indian food but not in the morning seems like my morning is even changing.

We all started having breakfast suddenly dad started asking about our reception.
Honestly speaking i really want a reception but still I don't want that yet cause my rivals are everywhere. I can't let them know about the fact that i am married.

__

"Jaanu i was thinking ki aaj na main mumma papa ke sath ghar chal jati hu . Kuch din unke sath rehlu phir wapas aa jaungi ". (Jaanvi i was thinking to go with mom and dad for a stay)

After listening to her words jaanvi's face fell . Avni understood.
She went near her and hugged her tightly.

I know jaanu you are sad but sun meri baat we can't always hide . You have to face him na someday , you have to start the conversation and start making your relationship. We can't always run away.

I know but how avni .  I am scared i am scared that just like on everybody's life i am unwanted i will be unwanted even in his life which I don't want to . After many years avu i have got a family i have gotten someone who i can call mine . Mumma , papa , you , adi and abhi . I don't want life to show me that they are not mine . I hate myself avu i hate myself for being weak but i just can't. It stings me to the core when my own parents doesn't want, when they treated me like shit , when they don't give a damn about whether i live or die , when they treat my like i was never thier own child. Everyone looks at the family thinking how great it would be living in that lifestyle. But only i know how worst it is to live in that lifestyle. You know they even married me to abhimaan to get rid of me . Am i that bad avu even abhimaan thinks me of a burden even he thinks that my parents just tried me around him jaise bail ke gale mein ghanti bhand dete hain na waise.

With that she broke down crying.

''"No jaanu how can you say this . You are really good. You are my jaan and that's the reason i call you my jaan . And about your parents let them be they don't care about you then let them not we are here na"..

She consoled her wrapping ger hands around protectively. Just the tought of being alone without her Haunted her.

It was night time .
There was no one in the house except jaanvi. Avni and her parents left in the evening . Avni insisted on staying but jaanvi forced her. She didn't wanted to take away the time she thought of spending with her parents.
She was in the living updating her online book. After she was done she started watching tv . While watching it unknowingly she slept.

Jaanvi woke up amd saw the time it was 1 at night. Abhimaan was still not home . She got worried and started calling her but he wasn't responding.
God she was damn worried even the lights were gone. Itne bade se ghar aur light chali jaati hain . Ek toh bechari pehle se dari huye hain upar se light bhi chali gayi.
She heard the screeching sound of the door.
Abhimaan's car sound would have come first if he was here.   Hey kahna what if there is a thief . She took a candel stand and was moving towards the door. She was about to beat the hell out of the chor when suddenly he held her hand . She opened her eyes which she didn't even knew were closed.

There he was standing her husband with the rolled sleeves and blazer in one hand looking tired yet so handsome.

''You didn't sleep yet. She was snapped out of her thoughts hearing abhimanyu's word.''

''Why did you entered like a thief it's your home only.''

''The lights were off so I thought you slept so i entered slowly without making any noise."

"But where is your car ."

"I parked it outside."

"Strange i didn't hear it."

'Yeh Sherlock Holmes khelna band ho gaya ho toh mere sawal ka jawab dogi.

"I was waiting for you " .

' You freshen up i will serve the dinner".

He nodded.

She went.

SHe served him dinner and started going when he held her wrist making her stop on her place.

"Sit" he commanded

"But.."

"Sit."

She quietly sat down.

He served her a plate.

She looked at him amused.

"I am not hungry."

Her stomach growled at the very moment living her embarrassed.

"Yeah i can see."

"How did you know that I haven't eaten."

"Atleast i know this that you never eat dinner before me ".
He said."

And she blushed thinking that he noticed.
He noticed that she never eats before him .
It's not thta she didn't want to but habbits doesn't die very easily. I am used to live without eating for days. So it didn't matter.

But now i guess ot does.

People cry not because they are weak

They have been strong for too long.
