6.

At night:

Ishika had just taken a shower and then got changed into her nightwear. She walked into the room. Abhimanyu was in his study discussing a few things with Armaan as he would be home and someone had to look at the work.

Ishika touches the chain tied around her neck and smiles.

"Everything I have heard about is wrong. I heard he is cold, arrogant, entitled, and whatnot. He has been nothing but a warm and kind person to me."

Ishika heard the door opening and looked at the door. It was Radhika and Ishika got up.

"I hope I am not disturbing you,"

Radhika asked. Radhika sat on the bed and signaled Ishika to sit with her.

"What were you thinking baccha?"

"M..maa I was thinking.. that maybe I don't deserve Abhimanyu ji"

Radhika lifted Ishika's chin with her fingers.

"And why do you think that?"

Ishika slowly held Radhika's hand and she felt the warmth of mother.

"Maa he is an all-rounder. Like he handled business at a very young age, he is a good cook too, and he is good looking too while I couldn't even make kheer today"

Radhika let out a small laugh and patted Ishika's cheeks

"I know he is an all-round and best at everything he does but honey you made him enter the kitchen and help you. That guy who never stepped in the kitchen today helped his wife when you were struggling. You can't do 99% of things that he does but you can do 1% of things that he could never do. And with time you'll understand what I am trying to say"

Ishika frowned at Radhika

"Now don't think much about it and go to bed" Radhika got up and left the room.

"What did maa mean by that?"

||

Abhimanyu was in his study discussing a few things with Armaan.

"Armaan handle these things for a few days. I need to stay home for some rituals. Maa took a promise from me"

Armaan nods understanding.

"Bhai I know take it as a break from work.. I'll handle everything"

Abhimanyu pats Armaan's shoulder and walks to the door. He stops in the middle and looks at Armaan.

"Armaan, can you look into Ishika's life before marriage? I need every single detail about her"

"Why bhai do you have some doubts?"

Armaan asked Abhimanyu, confused. There are things that only Abhimanyu had noticed. He is a sharp person and notices the tiniest details that a normal person cannot see.

"Just do it I'll explain you later"

Armaan nods and sits down working on the presentation while Abhimanyu walks to his room to spend time with his cute wife.

He didn't like skipping work but now he wanted to skip work just to spend time with his wife.

Abhimanyu walks into his room only to find Ishika already asleep. She didn't even cover herself. Abhimanyu chuckles and walks close to her.

"My dear cute wife, aren't you feeling cold?"

He took a blanket and covered her properly. He increased the temperature of Ac and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After showering he wore a black T-shirt and sweatpants. He went to bed and lay down beside her. He was not debating whether to hug her or not.

'What if she finds it uncomfortable? What if she doesn't like it? Why won't she like it? until and unless she agrees I can't.'

After this long debate with himself not hugging her won and he quietly laid down facing her direction. A hair strand fell on her face.

He tugged it back on her ear. He could watch her sleep anytime, it doesn't matter if he has to stay up all night just to watch her sleep.

The next morning Ishika and Abhimanyu's bodies were tangled with each other. How in the world did these two come into each other's embrace? Ishika had her head on his chest while Abhimanyu had his hands wrapped around her waist and the other hand beneath her head.

Ishika woke up as the alarm rang. She frowns and slowly opens her eyes. Everything was blurry until she saw her husband's face this close to her.

Her heart started doing somersaults. She stayed in his embrace admiring his facial features.

'Do I deserve you? maybe i don't but I'll be the girl you deserve or the only girl who has right to be your wife'

Ishika brought her hand to his face. She poked his cheeks; they were soft. She was taking advantage of his sleep and seemed like a pervert. Her eyes fell on his lips suddenly her throat felt dry and she gulped the lump in her throat.

"Patni ji are you done staring?"

he suddenly spoke flinching ishika to the core. '

He Is awake? How long has he been awake? Will he scold me for touching him? Will he scold me for hugging him? Am I doomed?'

her train of thought took a huge leap in just a few seconds.

"Good morning Mrs. Singh"

his voice was raspy because he just woke up. A red hue formed on Ishika's cheeks hearing him call her 'Mrs Singh'.

"Good morning"

Ishika spoke and got out of his embrace. The warmth she felt the warmth he felt was gone just like that. He wanted more now that he felt warmth and sweetness.

"Um suniye"

Ishika called him out. 'Is she gonna call me Suniye? and not my name?' He wondered.

"Ji sunaiye?"

Abhimanyu too got up. His hair was messy but damn that messy look was hot.

"What do you like to eat for breakfast?"

ishika planned on making breakfast today morning cause

1 Abhimanyu made Kheer yesterday to make up for it.

2 she wanted to prove that she knows how to cook, it's just kheer that sucks.

"Aloo Paratha I love aloo Paratha"

Abhimanyu spoke as he moved a hair strand off Ishika's face.

"Will you make it?"

He asked her.

"Of course I will, you go freshen up no wait first I'll freshen up and you go.."

she spoke as she ran into the bathroom excited to make breakfast for him.

"Careful"

Abhimanyu could only say this. This was new for him. Someone waking up in her arms, someone making his favorite dish, that someone's presence he started loving it.

After showering Ishika wore a sky-blue color anarkali with earrings, mangalsutra, and matching bangles. She didn't take off the chain gifted by him. After she was done getting ready she walked downstairs into the kitchen. Radhika was already in the kitchen preparing for breakfast.

"Good morning maa" Ishika spoke as she bent down to touch Radhika's feet. But Radhika stopped her. "Baccha you don't have to do this every day. You are my daughter and daughters in our family don't touch feet. Instead, they hug so if you want you can hug me"

Ishika smiled ear to ear and hugged Radhika. Her Mother's absence had left a void in her heart which Radhika was slowly filling. Radhika breaks a hug and caresses Ishika's cheeks. "Maa can I make aloo Paratha for breakfast?" Radhika's smile widened "wanna make it for Abhi?"

Ishika Shyly nods "Yesterday he helped me make kheer so today I wanted to make his favorite. breakfast" Radhika chuckles "How lucky baccha this kitchen is yours and husband too so make whatever you like for him"

Ishika nods excitedly and starts preparing for Aloo Paratha. After some time she was finally done. Okay, the shape doesn't look good but she was sure that it would taste good. "Maa, does he like tea or coffee?" Ishika asked Radhika who was munching some cookies as she had nothing to do.

"He likes neither he likes black coffee" Hearing black coffee ishika felt bitterness in her mouth. 'Who in the world drinks black coffee'. She thought. Ishika loved sweet stuff and bitter-tasting things like black coffee she would stay thousands of feet away.

After some time everyone gathered at the diner. Everyone was excited because their new daughter-in-law made breakfast for the first time. Ishika walked out of the kitchen with a plate of parathas in her hand. She kept the parathas on the table and sat beside Abhimanyu.

"Mrs singh Parathas smell good" Abhimanyu whispered to which Ishika could only blush. The maids served Paratha to everyone. Though the shape looked weird it tasted better. Ishika looked at everyone and then at her husband waiting for him to say something.

"It's good I like it.. can you make them for me again some other day?" Abhimanyu spoke looking at his wife. Everyone dining was shocked not because he praised someone but because he was comfortable with Ishika while requesting her to make aloo Paratha for him again. They never saw Abhimanyu request anything from anyone, not even his mother.

Ishika was satisfied 'mission accomplished' and she started eating her breakfast. After breakfast was done Abhimanyu spoke "Papa i have a business meeting in Chandigarh so i was thinking of bringing ishika with me"
