Chapter-24

Shraddha Kumar Malhotra

I opened my eyes to see that I'm not in my room. Whose room is this? I got kidnapped? Shraddha Kumar Malhotra

I opened my eyes to see that I'm not in my room. Whose room is this? I got kidnapped?

You dumb head you are married. You are not in your home because you are in your husband's home. Yeah, I'm married. I got married to the one on whom I had a crush for the last two years.

Last night scenes were playing in my mind. Yes, I love him. You all may think that I'm mad.

Yes, I'm mad because after last night's conversation with Aaron I understood the depth of his love. He loved a girl without seeing her face. I'm impressed with his unconditional love.

I pray to God that I want his love in my life but I know that cannot happen.

"Good morning crazy kitten," Aaron said in a teasing tone.

"Good morning to you" I replied to him in a flow without realising what he said to me before.

"What you called me, repeat it," I asked him with a frown.

"I said Good Morning." He replied.

"No, after that," I said.

"I only said good morning, nothing else," he said. He stood up from the bed and moved towards the entrance door. He was standing near the door.

"No, you are lying," I said.

"Oh that, I said Good morning crazy kitten," he said and ran outside the bedroom.

Run for your life Aaron Malhotra I'm not going to leave you so easily. I thought in my mind.

I went to the washroom and did my morning chores. Yesterday I organized my belongings in the bedroom and wardrobe. I chose a simple Saree to be comfortable and be able to work in the kitchen.

I came downstairs. Mom-Dad was sitting in the living room. I took blessings from both of them. At the same time, my husband came from his morning run. He was looking at me with a smirk. I also have him smirk. Mom told me to cook some sweets as it will be my first Rasoi in Malhotra Mansion.

I went inside the Kitchen and started to think about what to make. I looked at vegetables. There were red carrots in the refrigerator so I took them out. I grated them and started to make Gajar ka Halwa (carrot pudding). I also made a small batch of sugar-free halwa (sweet) for Dad as he is a diabetic patient. Once I finished with both the halwa's. I garnished them with dry fruits.

The cooks had already made other breakfast dishes so I served the halwa in a small bowl and kept it in front of God as a bhog.

Maids had kept all breakfast on the dining table. I took halwa served in bowls with me and placed it near everyone's plate. I was eagerly waiting for their opinions. Whether they will like it or not? I know that they liked the rice pudding made by me but then there was grandma. What if they praised me just for the sake of grandma? Aaron will be eating the sweet made by me for the first time.

Everyone took their seats and started having breakfast. I was looking at their reactions when they started having halwa. All were having neutral expressions on their face. I became sad thinking that they didn't like it. But to my surprise, my sisters in law came near me and hugged me. They also kissed my cheeks as a compliment.

"Sister in law it tastes so good. Can I get one more bowl?" Shreya asked me very cutely.

How can I say no to her? Her reaction helped me to take a breath of relief.

"One-minute Shreya I will bring," I said and went inside Kitchen to bring more halwa. I placed another bowl in front of her.
After that mom and dad also complimented me; they both gave me gifts.

But this husband of mine. Not a single word came out of his mouth. I felt sad that he didn't like it, that's why he didn't say anything.

After that mom said that I have to go for pag phera to my house. I am so happy that after two days I'm going to meet My Mumma- Papa and Kary.
Karthik came to pick me and took me home.

I was feeling sad that he didn't say anything to me. I'm going to miss him these two days.

I loved being called a crazy kitten by him. But I don't want to say this to him. I don't know why but I love to have silly cute fights with him. I love the smile on his face. I always want to preserve this smile on his face. One day I want to be the reason for his smile.

I reached my home. I hugged Mumma-Papa tightly. I was missing both of them. I want to do something for Papa so I decided to cook his favourite lunch today. I made his favourite dishes. After that, we both had some Father-daughter time. We both talked and laughed and had fun. After lunch, I went inside my old bedroom and packed those things which I want to take to the Malhotra mansion. After packing I
slept till the evening.

In the evening, Aaron came to take me. We both had our dinner with Mumma- Papa and Kary. After dinner, Papa and Aaron were talking about business and deals etc.

Kary helped me to keep the packed boxes in the car. Aaron and I said our Goodbyes to My family and left for home.

Home... a few days back this was my home but now Malhotra Mansion has become my home. Why do only girls have to leave their father's house?
The drive till the home was filled with silence. After reaching home we both went inside our bedroom. He went to freshen up first. I went after he came. I changed into my nightwear. I was doing my night routine of moisturizing the skin when I decided to ask him.

"Why didn't you say anything in the morning?" I asked him.

There was no response from him.
"Aaron said something, did you like the halwa?" I asked him again.

"How can I say that?" he said.

"How can you say it means all complimented me except you? Do you know how bad I felt" I said in a sad tone.

After that something wet touched my cheek.

Oh my god, he kissed me.

My husband kissed me.

Aaron kissed me on my cheek.

"See how your face is now. I also wanted to compliment you just the way Shreya gave but I didn't want you to be embarrassed in front of mom-dad so I didn't say anything. Then when I went into our room to speak with you but you already left for your home" he said sadly making me look at him with wide eyes.

I don't have any words to reply to him so I kept mum.

I went inside the wardrobe to apply body lotion. When I returned he was already asleep. I saw that he slept on my side. I can't get sleep now what to do now. I was having second thoughts about waking him up. I was confused but then decided to let him sleep today.

Now I can't sleep because I'm habitual to sleeping on the left side.
Shraddha, think something. Are you going to roam like a devil? I have to sleep on the right side. I don't have any other choice. I decided that I'll talk to him about this tomorrow. Have a nice sleep Mr. Malhotra because tomorrow your morning will be very... very good.

I looked at him after laying on the right side. He was in deep sleep so I slowly kissed his forehead and tried to sleep.

Next morning

I woke up with sun rays disturbing my sleep... I tried to turn to my other side so I could sleep without any disturbance but I couldn't turn. I was caged. I was caged by something heavy. I opened my eyes and looked at it. I was shocked. I was not caged by some chains but my dear husband caged me in his tight embrace. I looked at his face. He slept like a baby. While sleeping he looks so innocent and handsome. I want to ruffle his hair.

'Shraddha what are you thinking idiot. He is in love with someone else. Wake up before him to avoid this embarrassment. I slowly and steadily removed his hand from me and got down from the bed. I went to his side and kissed his forehead. I
did my all morning routine and went downstairs. I wore a simple dress I purchased with girls before the wedding.

I went inside the kitchen to see that Mom was making something. I went near her and hugged her from behind.

"Good morning mom" I greeted her with a smile.

"Morning to you sweetie," she replied to me with a smile and patted my cheeks affectionately.

"Mom. I'll also help you." I said and started helping her.

We both prepared a healthy and tasty breakfast and kept it on the dining table. Dad was already sitting in the living room and reading the newspaper. We were waiting for everyone. Shreya and Riya came and wished us the good morning to which all of us reciprocate.

Now only Aaron remains to come downstairs. I was counting backwards.

And there is a big scream from my husband. I think my plan executed well. I laughed thinking about him and my plan. Shreya asked me what.
I told her about my plan. After listening to the plan she started laughing clutching her stomach. Tears started to form in her eyes due to excess laughing.

"Mom" he shouted.

'Well, now you have got your punishment then you have realized that your wife is a very big prankster. So don't mess with her Mr. Aaron Malhotra.' I thought in my mind looking at him who was descending the stairs.

Looking at him all started laughing.
