THE BLOOMING OF LOVE BETWEEN FORCED MARRIAGE

10. Back at Her House

      Rutuja was acting like she was happy that, she was going to her house. They were all having their breakfast together while she was brainstorming with her thoughts. She wanted to meet her brother as well as be at Rishikesh's side too. But, she couldn't do both at once. She didn't want to say no to going home as she wanted to meet her brother for the last time before he would be back to Delhi for work. Her thoughts were torn between brother and husband.

When they were done with breakfast Rutuja went to their room to get her handbag. While she was at it she put a small camera in his room. So, she could keep a watch on his surroundings as she won't be there in person. She then, quickly went to the living room so she could go with him. Both took the blessings of their parents in unison before going.

Rishikesh didn't want to be apart from her but, he had no choice. He took her to her house and greeted her parents and brother. Aditya came and embraced Rishikesh saying it's good to see you. He said, good to see you too. Her parents welcomed him and offered him to stay for lunch as was coming first time to their house after marriage. Rishikesh accepted the offer for staying at lunch as he wanted to be with his wife for some more time.

Rutuja called his mother and told her that, she was at her house and Rishikesh was staying for lunch there. Mother said, ok Rutuja have a good time at your house. She said, thanks, mother. Then told Rishikesh, she called mother and told her that you were staying here for lunch. She was alright with that. He said, thanks for doing that for me. She said it's fine you don't need to thank me all the time.

He and Aditya were friends now so they spent quite a while talking with each other. While Rutuja and her mother were busy cooking lunch. She took an account of his favorite food while cooking and even made a no-bake chocolate cake for him. While she was setting the table she was thinking about how he will react to the food and chocolate cake that she made for him. Her mother went and called them for lunch.

All of them took their seats as Rutuja and her mother served them food. Rishikesh was surprised as everything they made was his favorite and by the smile on his face while eating she could tell he was enjoying his food which made her joyful. Her parents and brother had noticed her expressions and were glad that she married Rishikesh. When they finished eating lunch her mother told all of them that, she have made a no-bake chocolate cake for them.

All of them loved chocolate so their mother asked her to bring the cake. They enjoyed the cake she made with a satisfactory smile on their faces. Rutuja couldn't express the joy that she was feeling at the moment. After they were done eating cake, her mother asked him "Did you enjoy the lunch today?" He said, "Lunch was awesome and chocolate cake on top of that, it made my day great". She said it's my pleasure to hear that.

Then said, I think I should get going now my parents will be waiting for me. I will be here tomorrow before evening to take her back. Her father said alright. He said bye to Aditya and Rutuja before he left. Rutuja went to her room after cleaning so she could get changed into comfortable clothes. She wore her night suit as she knew no one would be coming home today and spent the rest of the afternoon talking with Aditya.

In the evening she helped her mother with dinner and they all had dinner together laughing and chatting with each other like a happy family. After dinner, they sat together in the living room and her parents asked her "How are things there?" Rutuja said, everything is fine there, I got along well with each one of them. So, you do not need to worry about me being there. All of them are very good people. Her father said, "It is good to hear that you are doing well there".

Later she and her brother went for some more talking in her room. They told each other about their ideas and views about different things. And always seem to find that, they never had enough time for talking when they were expressing themselves. Aditya asked her about the situation after marriage and she told him everything was still normal. Not even a single attack yet. He asked her about Harshada. She told him that she would call her every day to ask her about the situation there and update her on the situation here.
