Next morning
Ashi woke up and was still sleeping on couch.
Ashi's P.O.V.
Thank God!!! Last night he didn't do anything. I was nervous like hell. Mom told there are some rituals next day of marriage and I need to do them properly. I should get ready. I don't want anyone to be angry on me.
P.O.V. ends
Ashi quickly did her morning chores and wore a sari. She was putting sindoor and mangalsootar without any emotions. She checked if everything was ok and went down. She touched Shivika's feet.
Ani: Arre itni jldi uthne ki kya zaroorat thi? Thodi der aur rest kr leti. And you don't need to wear all this sari and jewllery. I am not that strict saas types
Shiv was reading newspaper.
Shiv:(mummering) Hnn hnn tumhari saas sirf mere lie strict hai
Ani: Kuch....kha aapne?
Ashi chuckled a bit listening to them.
Ashi: Aunty actually
Ani: Aha it's mom or mumma not aunty
Ashi: Oh..ok mom. Actually today is my first rasoi to kya bnaoo
Ani: Waise servants bna denge. You don't need to take tension. But agar tumhara man hai to kuch bhi bnalo
Ashi: Ok mom
Ani smiled at her and she smiled back a lil. She made breakfast for all. Jaireem and Sid came down after getting ready. All sat on dining table except Ashi.
Ani: Ashi bacha beth jao
Ashi sat down shyly. All started eating. Jaireem teased them a bit. They noticed Ashi wasn't comfortable so they decided to change topic.
Reem: Ashi you cook amazing yrrr
Ashi: Thanks bhabhi
Jai: Hnn sahi mein
Ashi: Thank you bhayia
Shiv took out money.
Shiv: Ye lo tumhari pehli rasoi ka shagun
Ashi: Papa ye kis lie? Iski kya zaroorat thi
Ani: Are lelo lelo. Tumhare papa badi mushkil se dayal hote hai kisi par
Shiv: Tum bahuo ke saamne to na mazak bnaya kro🙄🙄🙄🙄
All four chuckled at them. Ani signalled Ashi to take money. She touched Shiv's feet and he gave her blessings.
Shiv: Khush raho
Few days passed like this. Ashi used to like Shivika and Jaireem's company.
Sidashi used to try to talk to each other. They were getting a little bit comfortable. But they never touched each other. Sid always used to sleep on couch.

Smita: Arre ye kya? Abhi lights kyu on nhi hai?
