Dev had a very hectic day today at work.................first of all his aching back had not even let him lean back and sit during the entire presentation...............and then his back to back 3 meetings which his PA had absent mindedly set up for him all on the same day.................he couldn't even scold her for that as she would give him an apologetic smile for her slip of mind...................and then he wouldn't be able to stay annoyed with her for longer...............wrapping up his meetings for the day Dev headed straight back home...............ofcourse Sona's house.............as he had planned to become a permanent member there till Sona decides to get back to him.............as he entered the living room he could smell the fragrance of a sweet dish emanating from the kitchen...............he saw Asha fiddling near the dining table and casually asked her.............."mumma, aapne aaj kuch meetha banaya hai kya?..............badi acchi khusboo aa rahi hai...........kuch khaas hai kya aaj?".............Asha was about to reply back to him when Sona arrived from the kitchen holding the container of Gulaab Jaamun in her hand...............her expressions immediately turned to that of frowning when she saw him.............."kyun?........kuch khaas ho to hi meetha banta hai kya?...............bina kisi occasion ke hum meetha nahin kha sakte?.........."............her anger made him conclude that she may be upset because of the morning incident............trying to lighten her mood he said............"maine aisa kab kahaan wifey.............ofcourse bina kisi occasion ke hum meetha kha sakte hai..........aur jiski tum jaisi sweet wife ho woh to roj mauke dhoondega na meetha khane ke..................."................Dev winked at Sona who had her mouth wide open at his open flirting infront of her mother who had by now left the place all embarrassed.
