Panipuri

Advay's pov~

After bidding bye to vikrant. We sat in our car and I started to drive. There was a comfortable silence in the surrounding. I played some music. It was pop music. I glanced at her, she looked a little bother. I thought to change the music she turned it off on her own.

“You could've told me to change it.” I said looking straight ahead on the road. She looked at me I could feel her stare on me for a minute or half.

“It is so disturbing, i don't like this type of music” she said looking straight as me.

“yeah, you like that kind of songs. Like you sang on our first night.” i said firmly she turned her face towards me rapidly.

“what do you mean by that kind of songs. It was a good song. And yeah I like that type of songs. What's the problem with this?” she said, looking at me. But I didn't look at her once.

“so you mean you like erotic things?” I said.

“What?, when did I say this?” she said in a slightly louder voice.

“you just said that you like that type of songs, doesn't it mean you also like that kind of thing? Like erotic things.” i said as she looked outside the window escaping the awkwardness.

“I said I like that type of songs meaning the slowed or reverb, not the loud and mind disturbing. That doesn't mean I like all the erotic things.” she said in a Stern voice.

I smiled and focus on the road. We were in the middle of the way.

“stop the car” she screamed and I pulled the break hurriedly.

“what happened? Are you ok?” I asked her being concerned.

She was looking out of the window. I followed her gaze and saw a cart of Pani puri. She looked at me with puppy eyes while I narrowed my eyes still unaware of what she wanted to say.

She pointed her finger towards the cart and I got it. She wants to eat the Pani puri. But I looked at the man selling it. He dipped his whole hand in the water without any gloves. It looked so unhygienic.

“you want to eat that?” I asked staring at the man.

“No, I'll go see the Pani puri and come back.” she said with a tight-lipped smile. While I looked at her with a resigned face.

“ofcourse, I want to eat it. What type of question is this.” she said in an irritated voice.

“No biwi sahiba, look at that man how he's serving it. It looks so unhygienic. We'll go to some other restaurant, not here.” I said and looked at the road about to start the car.

I can feel her stare on me. I looked at her

“I want to eat here only, not at any restaurant” she huffed, her cheeks trying to be angry and she looked genuinely upset.

“ok, as per your wish” I said starting the car and we drove off towards home. But on the way she didn't say a single word. I glanced at her from time to time but she was looking at the road with a straight face.

We reached home, I opened the seat belt and my phone rang. By that time she had already gone inside the house.

On the call my manager told me to look up the file he mailed me as it was urgent. I went inside the house and directly went to my study room. I thought that she would be fine after some time.

I took off my blazer and sat on the chair. It was 5:45 in the evening, I started working on the file as it had some mistakes to be corrected.

After a long time, I sighed as the file is completed by now. I looked at the time it was 8:30 already. I had gone hours working without looking at the time. I'm accustomed to this.

I went to my room and saw no one. I thought she would be downstairs. After that, I took a shower and went downstairs.

I saw everyone sitting on the dining table. I went and sat in my place. Bhai and bhabi had come already. Everyone looked at me as if I'm a ghost or something.

“Why are all of you looking at me like that?” I asked, but nobody said anything.

I roamed my eyes but didn't find her. I was looking for her, but Rishi whispered near my ear.

“Bro, have you done something?” I narrowed my brows and asked him “why?”

“Why is Bhabhi so angry?” I sighed as I realised that she's still angry about that Pani puri incident.

After some time she came from the kitchen and sat beside me as usual. But didn't look at me for once.

She served herself and started eating. Everyone was looking at me as if I did any crime. But I was unbothered by the stares on me.

Only thing that bothered me was her ignorance. She didn't even glance at me for once.

After the dinner, everyone departed to their respective rooms. I went to my room but she was in the wardrobe.

She came back after changing her clothes. After her night routine she went to bed. I was staring at her all the time, but she didn't look at me.

It was half past ten, sleep was not even near by me. And I know that she was also not asleep.

“Biwi sahiba, I know you're not sleeping. Drop the act. I'm sorry for what I did. I promise we'll go any other day to eat Pani puri. But don't ignore me.” I said but she didn't turn back.

After sometime I exited the room and went to my study room. I decided to call vikrant. I know he can cook really well so I decided to ask him for the recipe of Pani puri.

I called him. He picked after some time. By his voice I knew he was sleeping.

“Vik, do you know how to make Pani puri?” I asked him.

“Bhai tu pregnant hai kya, jo aadhi raat ko cravings ho Rahi hai tujhe?” he asked.

(Brother, are you pregnant? Are you having cravings at midnight?)

I was about to say something but he interrupted me “ one second, How can you be pregnant? That means bhabhi is pregnant. Oh my God, I'm going to be chachu.”

I facepalmed hearing his ranting. Why did I even decide to call him? “Vikrant Oberoi, listen to me first, nobody is pregnant. Just tell me the recipe and cut the call.” I told him sternly.

After that he told me the recipe and I went to the kitchen to make it. I was making Pani puri when bhabhi came to the kitchen. She was shocked at first to see me there.

“What are you doing here?” she asked me. I told her everything. She told me that she came to eat ice cream without telling Rudra Bhai. Because he'll surely scold her for eating this at midnight. She asked me to give her some Pani puri after making it.

She offered to help me but I sent her to her room to take a rest. After an hour and half I was done making it. I served it on two plates. I gave the first plate to Priya bhabhi on the way. And took the second one for my biwi.

Adrisha's pov~

I heard his words but I was adamant to not forgive him. I was pissed already because of that bitch. And after that what he did was cherry on the top.

How should I explain to him that street food is always better than any restaurant. But this devil ugghhh.

People call him right DEVIL.

After that I heard the door knob open. I turned around and saw no one. He went outside the room. I thought I ignored him too much.

It was 12 at night, so I decided to check on him. But before that he entered the room with a plate covered with the lid.

I was confused at first. But he put the plate in front of me and opened the lid. I was about to jump on him but controlled myself.

I looked at him for any explanation. He scratched his neck and said “Umm I made it because I don't want you to eat that unhygienic Street food.” he said in a low voice which made him look so cute.

I smiled and put the plate aside and hugged him. He was hesitant at first but hugged me back.

“Thank you so much Mr. Singhania.” I whispered. He pulled away himself.

“Why do you call me Mr.singhania? I have a name, biwi sahiba.”

“Then what should I call you?” I asked with a confused face trying to think of any name.

“Call me by my name only or whatever you want to call me but not Mr. Singhania. It feels like I'm talking to my employee or client.” I laughed hearing his antics.

“Let me think what should I call you, yah!! I'll call you Addu," I exclaimed happily.

“What? Addu What kind of name is this? Think of any other name not this.” he said in a Stern voice.

“why not this, I can call my husband by any name. You can't stop me from calling you by this name.” I said.

“Ok, call me whatever you want but only when we are alone, not in front of everyone. Call me Advay ok.” he said.

But I started eating Pani puri without listening to him. I ate all of it.

“that was really delicious” I said after finishing it all.

He looked at me and leaned down and licked the side of my lips.

“it was really delicious.” he whispered near my face, his breath fanning on my face. I looked aside not wanting him to see the blush on my face.

I put the plate on the tea table and washed my hand. After that we went to bed. We were lying in each other's embrace with a comfortable silence.

“Good night, addu” I said with a giggle.

“Good night, biwi sahiba.” with that he kissed my forehead and we went to our dream world.

Next day~

A new day rose with a new ray of love in Advay’s and Adrisha's life.

Adrisha's pov~

I was woken up by the alarm. I sat in bed. Today is Sunday, But we have to go to our kuldevi mandir. I forgot to tell him last night because of the Pani puri chaos.

I thought to wake him up later. He slept late at night. I did my morning routine and got ready in a red banarasi saree. Maa told me to wear red as we're going together for the first time to seek blessings.

It was 8 in the morning and I was doing my makeup. Two arms sneaked on my waist. I smiled in the mirror.

“subha subha, Jaan lene ka iraada hai kya, biwi sahiba?” I blushed at his words.

“ji nahi par subah subah mandir Jane ka iraada hai.” I said and turned around facing him. I gave him the sindoor dani. He filled my hair partition and today he made me wear the nuptial chain by himself.

“But why are you going to mandir?” he asked.

“Not me only, we. We all are going to kuldevi mandir. Dadi told me to tell you but I forgot last night.” I explained to him and settled my bindi.

He was looking at me with his hand crossed over his chest. “You can check me out later, addu. First go and get ready.” he hissed on hearing the name.

He went to get ready while I went downstairs to check everything before going. I reached and saw everyone ready already. I told them that he's getting ready. I checked all the things which we have to take with us for Puja. After sometime he came downstairs while rolling the sleeves of his kurta. He wore a red kurta with white pyjama. I was staring at him. He winked at me and I turned my face to somewhere else.

He came and stood beside me. Everyone went outside and I locked the door of the house. I gave the keys to maa. And went towards his car.

There I saw Rohan and Rishi fighting. This is their everyday’s work. I went there and saw him looking at them with an irritated face.

I reached there and they both came to me. They both were fighting to sit with us in our car.

Dadu,dadi, Anika, maa and papa sat in one car. Rudra bhaiya,Bhabi and chachu chachi sat in another one.

Rohan and Rishi fighting over who'll sit with us.

I told both of them to sit together with us. But they were adamant to not to sit together.

“Stay here, you both. Nobody is going with us. Go and sit in another car. Or come in your own car, Rishi.” He said in a loud voice. We all flinched a little.

“Calm down, addu.” I completed my words and he looked at me with wide eyes. I realised what I said.I looked at Rishi and rohan. They both smirked at us. I looked at him and mouthed sorry.

Rishi came to him and pulled his cheeks saying “Addu” He tossed off his hand.

“Now let us sit in your car, or I'll tell everyone your name is Addu” Rishi said while laughing.

He looked at me and then told all of us to sit in the car. During the whole ride Rishi was teasing him while I was telling him sorry for calling him that infront of them.
