Wild Romance

~FAMILY~

After some time, Mom arrived with bhua g. I had already freshen up and was waiting at door to receive them.
Maasi ma told me to treat all my in laws with respect and love. She told me I will have to take a step towards them.  Also, I too wanted to meet new people that I can share a good bond with as in my previous family I was not used to much  affection.
"Namaste bhua g"
"Namaste beti, khush rho"
I greeted as they entered. Mom told me about Rashmi bhua that she was the eldest of all and a kind hearted woman.
The attendees carried her bags to the guest room and the three of us went to the living area. I was heading towards the kitchen to grab water for them but suddenly she said
"Where are you going beta. Come sit with me"
"Bhua g you must be tired by the journey. I was going to get some water for you"
" Oh my caring daughter, don't worry we have servants for that, but I came here to talk to you and spend time with my Varun's wife. So sit here with me my dear"
She said and I smiled a little.
Ma nodded at me and I sat near bhua g.
She patted my head and said
"Mashallah, kaynat you are my most beautiful daughter in law indeed. I am happy for Varun , he is so lucky to have you as a life partner beta."
I smiled hesitantly at words of bhua g but the morning incident was stuck in my head. How he embarrassed me twice  today! I sighed at the thought and bhua g continued with the talking.
She is really a lively person, she talked about me, my work,my parents etc. She was really impressed with my job which I had not expected as she was quite old. But she had a modern outlook towards life. I felt comfortable around her and she gave me blessings before leaving to her room to take rest.
"You know kaynat, varun lived with his bhua g during his childhood days and Rashmi di knows him very well. I know he is a bit complicated but trust me beta  with the guidance of Rashmi di, this marriage can work too."
And that was the ray of hope I was looking for, i agreed with ma and thought of asking bhua g for advice seemed good to me.

Ma patted my head and left from the living area. I went upstairs to room to take my phone to call maasi ma but with every step I was feeling nervousness. He was getting ready and I lowered my gaze entering the room. I only saw him putting on his watch , after that he looked in the mirror for a few seconds and then turned to leave. He stood in his place for some time and I could feel him staring at me. I was not facing him, i took my phone and was heading towards the balcony when he said
"How do I look!?"
Now I have to look at him to answer his question, I raised my eyes and looked at him. He was looking insanely handsome and his perfect features were catching my attention. He had a great body too, thanks to the gym. His eyes scanned me and I felt like I was transparent.
"Good.."
He came near me and I don't like his this move. Whenever he comes near me, he breaks my heart into several pieces and I feel shivers in my body which I don't understand why. Now there was minimum space left between us and he said
"Just good? Then I need to change"
He said thoughtfully while looking at me. He was looking so fine!, and I said just good. Oh gooddd!!
"N.oo. don't ch..ang..e, it..s per.fec..t!"
"Tell me more"
He came near me and took my phone from my hand and threw it on the bed. He placed my hair behind my back that were on my shoulders. And he was waiting to hear my reply.
"It's look..ing suitable..for office.. and you a..re looking ha..nd..so..me in th..is..."
He smirked and whispered coming close to my ear
"Today family is coming, so behave properly with them. Some of them are quick to judge and I don't want you to embarrass me and my parents in front of them!"
"O.hkay.."
"Okay what?"
" O.hkay Varun ji"
All the time my gaze was low and this proximity was killing me.
"Now come with me and bid me bye like a good wife"
I obeyed him and went downstairs with him. Seeing him in the suit,  I also remembered my office days and thought of joining again came to my mind. He sat and attendees served the food. I was stealing glances of him from the living room from where he could not see me looking at him.
He then left for office after meeting ma and bhua g and I too went to the door to pretend we were a happy couple.
Bhua g and ma were looking at us from inside and his plan worked!
Later that day all the three uncles and there families arrived and honestly they were nice people but some of them were looking at me disgustingly too. Ma told me that they were not happy with the marriage as we did not accept the proposals they brought. A girl of my age greeted me and addressed me as bhabhi.
Her name was disha. She was really nice with me and a lively person. I saw one more girl with her that was looking at the house only and barely talked to anyone.
" She is my best friend bhabhi. Tanya come"
"Hello Tanya"
"Hello,so  you are the wife of varun Sehgal?"
She asked while fixing her open hair strands.
" Yeah, she is my bhabhi. So pretty"
Disha said hugging me. She told me that she will left tonight only with her friend as today was her college fest and only came to meet me.
I met all the family members and took their blessings. Ma was very happy to see all of them and it seemed like she always wanted a big family like theirs.
Disha took me to my room and Tanya also followed. We sat on the bed and started talking. Disha told me about her college and how it was going. She told me that varun and she were very close and she shared all of her secrets with him. She told me that he was the best brother to him and now that I was here, she wanted to be my friend too. I was happy to get a good company and we were laughing and talking. She had a lot of friends and I felt good to talk to someone like her. On the other hand, Tanya was walking in the room and observing the things. She randomly touched the items and it felt a little off to me. She didn't sat with us and barely talked.
After a while, they left and and I stared getting ready for today's family dinner. It was evening and the office hours were over. I took a bath and put on a decent dress. It was bright colored and it was comfortable so I wore it with other accessories. The bangles ma gave me were going perfectly with the dress. I got ready and went downstairs.
The mansion was full of life. Dad and uncles were in the living area talking and laughing. Ma and aunties were in the kitchen, all the children were busy in themselves. Apart from Disha, varun had many siblings. Some of them were in  abroad, some did not came and some barely talked. Although I met all of them, but my favorite was Disha. I saw her sitting in the hall so I went there too.
"Looking gorgeous bhabhi ji"
"Thanks.."  I said shyly
She started showing me her pictures on the phone and we went busy laughing and talking.
In between I was looking at the time too, maybe waiting for him..
