****

Shivaay entered his room when he saw Anika sitting with a veil. his anger rose upon seeing her

"Go and change your clothes. I hate to see you in this wedding attire now" Shivaay said controlling His anger and  walking towards the bed .

But there was no response to his words. his anger increased now . He proceeded towards Anika and lifted the veil to see a cute scene in front of his eyes . Anika has dozed off in the veil . he admired her for a minute .

"Anika .. getup and change your damn clothes" Shivaay screamed to wake her up in which he succeeded

" what happened ?" Anika woke up with a jerk only to face Shivaay

"I said change your clothes now ..and I won't repeat it again" Shivaay said making Anika irk on his behaviour

"Lord governor " Anika muttered and went to change the heavy lehnga.while Shivaay made a wall of pillows In the bed

when Anika came back she saw that Shivaay has already slept . watching some space left in the bed with a wall of pillows she happily laid in the bed .

"I thought of revenging her but what could be bigger punishment for myself than sharing a room with her" Shivaay thought before going into an deep slumber as it was tiring day for him

****

Anika woke up and saw that Shivaay was not present in the room

"Thank you Ganeshji ..!!  that Bagad billa is not there or else my morning would have been spoiled" Anika  thanked ganeshji and proceeded to freshenup
Anika wore green Saree with minimal makeup and Jewellery .

when Anika went outside she saw the whole family was gathered and talking. she further noticed that all the men were absent . which meant that everyone went for work .she happily  went and took everyone's blessings after greeting them good morning . it was indeed good morning for her as didint have to face Bagad billa

"puttar . i know whatever happened yesterday was unforgettable but i know one you are one of the wise girls and I'm sure you'll accept this family" Dadi said caressing Anika's head

"consider this family as yours now beta" jhanvi said agreeing with her sasumas words to which Anika could happily nod

"you know what Anika yesterday I thought on This matter very much and I concluded that I should apologise on chottes behalf" pinky said in an apologising tone

"no mom. if your son behaves the wrong way it's not your fault , moreover I'm overwhelmed to have such a sweet family"Anika said getiing immense love and care from each member of family

"for the first time I'm not much angry on billu's decision because you're perfect bahu for this house Anika" pinky said cupping Anika's cheeks

"Anika beta . I know that the marraige didn't happend under good circumstances but i want to do every post-marraige ritual with my bahu. your sasuma's will give you the knowledge about the  rituals" Dadi said assuring Anika that everyone will help her in this house

"so Anika it's your pehli rasoi today. servants will prepare breakfast meanwhile you prepare some sweet dish today" pinky said explaining the first post-marraige ritual to Anika

"If you need any help you can ask us anytime" jhanvi said assuring Anika 

Anika's face litup hearing rituals . it means she'll do pagh-phera ritual also and that means she'll get to meet her chutki .

kitchen

Anika was humming a song while preparing kheer as she was in a happy mood .

"Bhabhi . you seem so happy" priyanka said hearing Anika humming a song

" yup I'm . waise priyanka tell me one thing do the men in these house leave so early to office" Anika asked while preparing  the kheer

" No bhabhi . Bade papa being businessman of the year likes to be fit and healthy .
so, he takes boys with him for a daily 1 hour jogging" explained priyanka while sitting on the kitchen counter

"Papa does good with these boys . They deserve this for being khadoos" Anika murmured remembering Shivaay

"Did you said something bhabhi" priyanka purposely asked even after hearing Anika's
muttering

" No" Anika clearly refused and started serving the kheer in a dish

"seems my bhaiya is being missed" priyanka teased Anika while she left the kitchen to avoid further teasing and get some kheer  bowls

****

Dining table

everyone was present in the dining table and were waiting to taste Anika's pehli rasoi. they were waiting for Rudra

"Sorry I'm late" Rudra said  rushing towards the table. it was rule in the family that No one eats with even a single family member not being present

"No Rudra.  you are on time" Anika tried to coverup for his devarji to save him from deathly glares of Tej

Anika was about to serve kheer to everyone when Rudra yelled

"Kheer. my favourite. that too you made it bhabhi . I'm sure it'll be tasty  " Rudra couldn't control after watching his favourite kheer

"Bhabhi .pls Serve the kheer to this duffer first or else he'll keep on blabbering" Om said and Anika nodded her head in positive and served the kheer to Rudra first

All this while Shivaay had an evil smirk in his face . Anika noticed it but  choose to ignore it.

Flashback

when Anika left the kitchen priyanka also headed towards her room . Shivaay entered the kitchen to get some water as he was tired after jogging but when saw the bowl of kheer his evil mind worked and he added a big tablespoon of salt in it spoiling the kheer. as Anika was about to enter the kitchen with bowls Shivaay causually took the water bottle and left the kitchen

flashback ends

while serving the kheer she felt something  was different .Anika tasted the kheer after putting it in a bowl. it was salty . before she could warn Rudra he had a spoonful of kheer in his mouth

"Bhabhi . I'm sure it must be tatsy" Rudra said keeping the spoonful of kheer near his mouth . when he felt weird . he then realised it was salty . he felt like puking but to save Anika's reputation he ate the whole bowl of kheer leaving nothing for anyone . not even to taste

"Rudra bhaiya . this is not fair you ate the whole bowl of Kheer. it is mine favourite too and moreover bhabhi has cooked for the first time " priyanka said while Shivaay couldnt control his laughter

"I think the kheer was very tasty . that's why devarji ate the full bowl" Anika said hiding the reality . while Shivaay could hardly control his laughter . Om noticed this . he never saw his bhai laughing so much . Om understood that his bhai would have done something

" Papa . i dont think I'll be able to join you guys in office today . you guys carryon" Rudra said holding his stomach and rushing towards his room . while Shivaay had a good laugh .  while Anika felt bad for his devarji
