The first night between the bride and groom surely was the most awkward. The two did not know what to say to one another so they just took their showers separately and went to bed.

The post-wedding ceremonies were of cause observed such as the Mooh Dikhai ceremony and Pag Phera ceremony. Some complications happened during the Mooh Dikhai ceremony as the mother-in-law refused to give gifts to Abhi as she did not welcome him into the family. The grandmother had to step in and do the needful before any humiliation could occur.

From that moment on Abhi knew that him and his mother-in-law would never see eye to eye. Early the morning after everything had transpired he overslept, and Aayush did not bother to wake him up as he knew his new bride was tired.

Abhi woke up late and freshened up, downstairs his mother-in-law was kicking up a storm. "See I told you that she is not suitable for my son, she's so lazy " Mr. Patel sighed looking at his upset wife, "she has to make breakfast this morning, or are we not eating?" she asked looking at everyone around her.

The two daughters-in-law just looked at their mother-in-law and thought in their hearts that their new sister-in-law was in trouble now.

They felt a bit liberated at the thought after all they were chosen by their mother in law hence they were loved by her.

"Someone go and wake up that uncultured daughter of the Devi's!" her voice all but bellowed echoing around the huge mansion. "No need mother I'm here " a soothing voice came from up the stairs making everyone look up .

Abhi wore a light green Churidar suit with gold heels, simple gold bangles on both hands, and a simple gold necklace and earnings. His hair was was let loose and went all the way to his hips.

As he came down his heels echoed making everything fall into silence

As he came down his heels echoed making everything fall into silence. He went to the elders and touched their feet to seek their blessing when he came to his mother in law he bent over only for her to move her feet away as if his touch was some infectious disease.

Abhi smiled lightly without feeling offended at all, he stood and faced her before moving to stand next to Aayush. The man looked at his wife who was a head shorter than him then at his mother before he sighed.

" Breakfast won't cook itself we're practically starving waiting for your lazy self to wake up, did your parents not educate you?" the woman blew up questions and insults at Abhi leaving everyone speechless.

" Mother that's enough, please let it go miss Luna will cook as always"Aayush said politely.

Seeing his mother-in-law was about to say something, Abhi looked at his husband " it's alright darling I can deal, miss Luna, please help me with the ingredients ".

With that the helper miss Luna led the way to the Patel's huge kitchen, he smiled and got to work. Abhi instructed miss Luna on the kind of ingredients to prepare. Soon enough a ravishing smell came from the kitchen making everyone turn their heads in that direction.
