Vows from the heart

Chapter - 18

Aakash's pov:

Priya and my mom went into kitchen and started to cook my favorite sweet. The aroma of sweet so sweet that I went into kitchen twice to know whether it's completed or not.

"Aakash, generally it's me who have to search for you and give you this sweet but how come today came twice into kitchen, huh?" My mom asked.

I just smiled trying to avoid getting embarrassed and went back to living room for diverting myself by watching TV. After 15 minutes both of them came with a bowl of sweet with super aroma.

*Control yourself Aakash, if you don't... then everyone will tease you* my brain suggested which I definitely ignored.

Dad, Riya and I were ready near the dining table and sat in the chairs immediately when we saw both of them coming out of kitchen, my mom arranged all the cups and spoons and Priya served the sweet and without waiting for a second I ate a spoon full sweet only to start jumping from my seat

"Ahhhh"

My mom and Priya rushed towards me with a glass of water and both of them stood on either side. When I was about to take the glass given by Priya I heard Riya laughing and saying loudly

"Well, preferences do change after marriage"

After drinking water from Priya's hand I even took the glass from my mom's hand drank it in one go. Everyone were staring at me then I said

"My mom have her importance in my heart and in the same way Priya also have her importance in my heart" I saw both them getting emotional and dragged into the hug then Riya spoke

"Hey, what about me?"

I dragged her into group too and then we all heard someone coughing on purpose, we broke hug and looked at my dad who stood there with open arms and we all ran into my father's arms.

"Common let's taste the sweet now" Riya said.

"Yeah sure, but it's very hot" I replied.

Everyone tasted it after 5 minutes and praised Priya for cooking such tasty sweet, and she was so happy and tears formed in her eyes

*May be she is missing her parents* my brain said which sounded like a genuine statement.

I took out my phone and skyped her brother and Priya smiled recognizing the voice and immediately stretched her hand for phone, she then went into our room after excusing herself.

Later that night, we finally decided at I will sleep on the bed and she will sleep on the floor. Oh my god she is too stubborn, I tried to convince her to sleep on bed but she didn't budge.

Though I was tired because of journey I couldn't sleep thinking about today's events and how I messed up everything in the morning. Then I heard the breaking sound of her knuckles and asked

"Hey Priya, haven't you slept?"

She looked at me and said

"No Aakash"

"Why?"

"Umm it takes time for me to adjust to new place and I often faces insomnia"

"Ohh" I said and got up resting on the head board of the bed and continued speaking "What will you do then every time you visit a new place"

She also got up and said

"I will sleep in my mother's lap and she will tell me a story"

"Story?"

"Yeah"

"Then come here"

She looked with a big question mark on her face.
