Everyone had their breakfast peacefully once Nalini left. Rashmi called Meera to her.

"It's your rasoi gift from me and Rajveer ji, beta," Rashmi said forwarding a jewelry box to her.

Meera knew about the ritual but she still felt unsure about taking such expensive gifts from them. This life is still new to her. She hesitated to forward her hand which was understood by Rashmi and Rajveer.

Rajveer stood up from his chair and put a hand on her head "Meera don't overthink. This is your family now where you have to spend the rest of your life. You have to accept us and these gifts are a step towards that. And not just accept these gifts but also demand if you need anything." He said with fatherly love in his voice which warmed Meera's heart and also gained everyone's attention. Meera nodded her head and took the jewelry box from Rashmi's hand and touched both of their feet.

Later Anika and Darsh also gifted her jewelry which she thanked them for and took their blessings. As she was about to go to sit back, Abhishek called her and all three of the younger ones stood in a line.

Meera looked at them and so did the others.

"Bhabhi these are the gifts from us," Abhishek said giving her a little box.

Meera took the box with anticipation and opened it with curiosity. She took out a single thin rose gold chain bracelet from it which had a little pearl in between increasing its beauty 10fold.

" It has a special feature bhabhi. It's not just a bracelet." Reavti said with excitement.

"Yes, bhabhi. The pearl in it is a button. Whenever you need any of us three, you can press the button and it will send a message to your Vanar Sena's phone." Shivansh said showing his teeth.

"But why would she need it Bacho when she had a phone," Darsh asked.

" What if someday Bhabhi is feeling lazy and doesn't even want to touch her phone then it's easy to access," Shivansh said.

"Or if she had freshly painted her nails then also it's helpful," Revati added.

"And most importantly if she did not have her phone near her and she needs any of us to help her," Abhishek said winding up the conversation.

"It is so pretty and thoughtful. Thank you so much." Meera said with a smile on her face. And now she was feeling bad for her lack of expressing her emotions. She wants to hug them and jump and tell them how happy she is and could just smile at them. And she soon found herself in a hug. She didn't hesitate to hug them back.

"We know Bhabhi you are less expressive but we can guess from your face how happy you are," Abhishek whispered and the other two nodded.

"thank you" She whispered with wet eyes.

"No emotional stuff please."Revati whispered and then added loudly " Now it's the turn of bhai."

And all attention shifted to Aashrit now. Meera's eyes also went to him. Although she already got a gift from him this morning she knew he was supposed to gift her something for her first rasoi.

Aashrit who was busy in looking at her family and embracing his wife with open arms caught the attention of everybody. He was thankful for his dadu for saving him from the embarrassment.

"Aashrit's gift would be given after mine as it is related to my gift." Pratap Singh said in a loud dominating voice and got everyone's attention. He nodded at his nurse who brought out some papers and put them on the table.

Everyone's interest spiked up. Pratap Singh asked Meera to come forward. Her feet were shaky but she still moved forward and topped in front of him.

"You Dadaji told me about your love for studies. I want you to again start your studies where you left them." Pratap Singh kept his words concise.

Meera took her admission form in her hand and she didn't know how to thank him. She just touched his feet and said thank you. Pratap Singh blessed her and patted her head with a chuckle.

"So how Bhai's gift is related to all this.?" Shivansh asked excitedly.

Everyone looked at Aashrit who was tired of the attention "It was Meera's gift and she would get it. You don't need to worry."

He said and left for his room before any other words could be exchanged leaving Meera shocked at his rude behavior.

"You never learn Shiv bhai," Revati said giggling making fun of Shiv while he ran after her.

Meera went back to her room after a much tiring day. It was her muhdikhai and some women came for the ceremony leaving her tired.

It was 2 at noon when she finally got the chance to rest. She went to her room and found no one there, she went straight to bed and plopped on it without even removing her jewelry. As her eyes were closing, she heard the opening of the door and stood up in an instant.

She saw her husband entering the room. Their eyes met and they both averted their eyes from each other. Aashrit took a file from the table and was about to leave but stopped remembering something. He turned back and looked at Meera who was looking down.

He went near her and said, "Follow me."

Meera looked up and only saw his back and followed him silently without any question. They soon entered the wardrobe. While looking around she remembered, she didn't even get to look around. Since yesterday she has just come here in a hurry, getting her clothes from her bag and leaving in a hurry. And now when she looked around she only saw Menswear everywhere. She followed him silently and saw 2 racks filled with her clothes.

"Your clothes are arranged by maids here." He said and Meera suddenly felt small seeing the whole wardrobe filled with his clothes and hers getting only two racks. It wasn't even his fault, it's just she had limited clothes.

As Meera followed him, he led her to the stairs in the closet. Meera was looking around astonished. Her eyes went wide on seeing the 1st floor of her wardrobe.

"This is my gift for you," Aashrit said and looked at Meera whose mouth was wide open and was looking around like an excited child and he felt proud of his choice of gift.

"I had no idea what type of clothes would you like to wear so I asked the stylist to get you every type of clothing from traditional to western which would be best suited for your college." He further added.

Meera could not say anything. She was overwhelmed. From wearing old worn clothes to getting one floor filled clothes only for her. She was ecstatic.

The 2nd floor has all the accessories for you from your bags, minimal jewelry, heels, and everything you might need.

"Thank You." She uttered out.

Aashrit turned back to look at her face and felt satisfied seeing a shocked plus enthralled reaction. She wasn't smiling but her eyes were shining, her face was glowing, and her hands were in fists preventing her from expressing her emotions.

"You can check all these and let me know if you need anything else. I'll be in our room." Aashrit said and left the floor and moved downstairs.

As he reached downstairs, he heard the sound of anklets indicating someone jumping. He chuckled imagining her jumping in excitement with a smile on her face. As he turned, he saw himself smiling in the mirror, and her reaction changed from a smile to a blank face.

"What's happening with you, Aashrit?" He shook his head and went out of the room.

While Meera jumped in excitement on seeing everything. A smile was intact on her face. She roamed around the wardrobe, and, observe each and everything with the same excitement. She went downstairs and looked at every outfit that was branded. She never imagined all this even in her dream but today she was experiencing it.

She looked at the sky and thanked God and her parents and grandpa for giving her such a family.
