[Annika - A, Shivaay - S, Rudra - Ru, Gauri - G]

Annika woke up and opened her eyes, to see her husband sleeping next to her. His arm was around her waist.

She moved closer and kissed his eyes. A smile formed on his lips and he pulled her closer if that was even possible.

A: Good morning Shivaay

S: No, no, I'm asleep, continue what you were doing

A: Let me go Shivaay, I have to get dressed

S: Annika, we're married now. At least now talk about undressing

She pushed him away

A: You're such a cheapda, who talks like this early in the morning

S: So if I talk like this at night, I won't be a cheapda, right?

A: shut up, let me go

S: Never letting you go

A: Shivaay!!!

S: first day of married life and you're already pushing me away. Not fair. No, I'm making a rule here. I want a good morning kiss every day.

A: Oh really and if I don't kiss you

S: then I'll kiss you

He got on top of her and held her hands in his, straddling her in the process, and began kissing her. Soon they ran out of breath and broke off

S: Now you may go and get dressed

Annika blushed and went to bathe.

Afterward, she went to the kitchen to make something sweet for her "pehli rasoi" (first dish ritual).

G: Good morning bhabhi

A: Good morning Gauri

G: So what are you going to make?

A: I was thinking about Suji ka halwa, will that be okay?

G: Absolutely, everyone likes it.

A: I thought Shivaay made breakfast

G: he did but I ordered him not to cook until the wedding, and gave him an off from this duty.

As Annika cooked, Gauri finished making breakfast for everyone

G: So, what happened yesterday? We were all scared

A: I'll tell you and Om everything but in private. I haven't even told Shivaay yet

G: Okay, is everything okay though?

A: No

Gauri took the breakfast and served everyone. Annika garnished her halwa with dry fruits and took some of it out in a bowl to offer it to God and get blessings. She went to their in-house temple, lit the diya, and did a small prayer.

After that, she came back to the kitchen and was about to mix the bowl of halwa in the pan when she noticed something. The garnishing looked different like it had been mixed. She clearly remembered that she hadn't mixed the dry fruits, she had planned on doing it when she would mix the prasad.
