Breaking The Wall Of His Insecurities ✔️

part : 21

They both came downstairs where Janvi and Tej were waiting for them. Anika took their blessings along with Shivaay and sat on the ground because they have arranged puja for them.

"Anika first attend this puja and then make something sweet for breakfast", said Janvi. Anika nodded and looked towards Shivaay who was staring at fire (agni).  She was going to ask him the reason why he is lost when Tej caught their attention

"But Janvi they have to visit their home as well because Shivaay will go to pick up Priyanka so if we will send her then rasam will be completed", said Tej because his daughter is there. He wants to meet Priyanka now. He doesn't think much about rituals but it was just for Priyanka and Shivaay. He doesn't like nor hate Anika as she is new in this world. His main motive was to send Shivaay out for a deal. Janvi was not leaving him so he thought to send Shivaay

"Ok bade Papa", he said and they both performed rituals together. This ritual was for their bright future. The priest asked them to take blessings. They again took their blessings and Anika moved toward the kitchen

She prepared halwa for everyone and came out. Everyone was waiting for her at the dining table. She placed halwa on the table and started serving. When she served everyone she came near Shivaay as beside him one seat was empty

"Bhabhi did bhaiya punish you?", Asked Rudra

"No why?", Asked Anika and looked towards Shivaay who himself was clueless

"Because you are not having breakfast. Did bhaiya ask you to behave like an ideal wife that you will eat after him that too in his plate?", Asked Rudra. When Om and Tej and Janvi heard his reply they giggled whereas Anika sat on her seat being embarrassed

"Shut up Rudra. I am not among the guys who will ask women to wait till I eat. Sometimes I skip meals too so that doesn't mean she has to skip meals. It's her wish idiot I don't know why she was standing like that. I guess because of nervousness", he said and looked toward Anika

"Yes I was just nervous and you guys are not telling me how is halwa? Don't know why I am that nervous?", said Anika genuinely because she is nervous. It's not her first time making halwa but the first time with her in-laws which matters a lot. Sometimes the first impression is the last

"It's ok Anika. Halwa is very delicious. God bless you", said Janvi after tasting halwa. Hearing her reply others too started eating halwa and praised her. Even Tej praised her which shocked her as till now he had never shown any happiness in this marriage which was hurting her but his one praise made her day today

"It's really very delicious", said Tej and finished eating halwa in seconds

"Thank you so much", she replied and turned her plate to have her breakfast.

After breakfast, everyone gave her money which is a part of the ritual and blessings as well.

In the afternoon Shivaay and Anika were leaving to take Priyanka for pag phera rasam. When they were about to go Tej called Shivaay

"Shivaay", called Tej. Shivaay and Anika stopped in middle and turned toward him

"Yes bade Papa?", asked Shivaay. Tej came near them and took a deep breath before replying

"Shivaay there is a meeting in the office with Rajput so can you attend it? I am very tired and Janvi will not let me go so, can you? If not then I will postpone it", said Tej without making any eye contact. He knows Shivaay will never say a now so automatically deal is in their hands.

"No problem bade Papa. I will attend it", said Shivaay with a smile. Anika looked towards Shivaay who himself was tired but still, he will manage the meeting but how? That too with her
