Anushree's viewpoint :

"Yeh toh namak haina?" Shubman's hot breath hit my ear, startling me suddenly.

"Aap.." I stuttered.

"Salt kyu daal rahi ho kheer mein?" He giggled.

"Powdered sugar hai." I told him.

"Ohhh." He chuckled a bit.

"Aap yahan kya kar rahe ho?" I asked him as I continued to cook.

"Main tumhari help karne aaya hu." He smiled.

"Baahar guests hain, aap unhe attend kar lijiye. Yeh main karlungi." I politely answered.

We came back to Mumbai today morning, where our relatives have been awaiting us. Shubman invited them for lunch at our place today and it's such a pleasure to meet the families. They're really sweet and have been praising us all along, it's making me feel so special.

I was so nervous earlier but now I'm so relieved at the fact that Shubman's entire family accepts me with all their heart.

They never made me feel like I'm anything different from the normal section of the society. Never did they once bring my ailments into play. We all had healthy and happy conversations, which is what I love the most.

Now I'm preparing lunch and desserts for all of us. I hope they'll like my preparations.

"Mujhe tumhare paas hi rehna hai." Shubman whispered in my ear while snaking my waist from behind and took away the container I had in the grip of my palm.

"Kitni sugar add karu?" He added asking.

"All of it." I smiled and he poured in the sugar content.

"Ab?" He asked further.

I handed him the cardamom powder and he added a spoonful of it, followed by some chopped dry fruits and saffron milk.

"Looks delicious." I could feel him grinning on my shoulder.

"I hope sabko acchi lage." I whispered nervously.

"Lagegi hi." He cheered me up and then kissed my cheek.

"Oye." I suddenly heard mumma's voice and my eyes shot up.

Shubman instantly released my waist from his grip on hearing her and took a step beside.

"Kya chal raha hai?" Mumma giggled but I dared not to look up.

"Main help kar raha hu Anu ko." Shubman answered her casually.

"Help? Chal jaa ab, meri bahu ko pareshaan mat kar." Mumma jokingly scolded him and came to me.

"Kheer toh bohat acchi lag rahi hai." She added complimenting me.

"Maine banayi hai." Shubman smirked.

"Tab toh pata nahi kaisa hoga." Mumma laughed.

"Mumma." Shubman whined like a baby.
