"Have you seen the clock, woman?!" The blind man who was laying down beside me spoke up.

"No, have you?" I asked and got a punch instead of an answer. Although it's too soft to be a punch, I will still make a scene out of it.

"Ouch! Oh my God! Shreedhar how could you hurt your own soon to be wife!" I pouted.

"Don't act coy, honey. I know that it didn't hurt." He muttered and I rolled my eyes.

"No but seriously, have you seen the time? I have dozed off five times after you fed me dinner." He said.

"Don't exaggerate! You dozed off for like 2 times." I complained, he rolled his eyes and said,"Now keep the files aside and go to sleep." He said.

"No no, you have so many problems. I need to sort them out. Okay now that you are awake... Tell me something... When our storage is filled with sugar why don't we just sell it east African countries... I heard they are in need of-"

"Okay. Good night!" He layed down on the other side and covered his head with the comforter. I sighed and closed the files.

"Now I will directly talk with Radhika! You are too evasive!!"

I woke up at my usual time and got ready with Mohini's help. I joined my family for breakfast, my life has become more normal with my blindness. It's not as tough as I thought.

The doctor told me that I am recovering very fast and soon I will get my eyesight back. This blindness gave me some rest which I didn't even know I needed. I am avoiding work like how a rat ignores cat. But interestingly Mohini became very much drawn to it.

"Radhika, I need to talk to you about some problems... " Mohini said.

"What?" Radhika asked.

"It's about the files you send me. There's something really wrong... With some plans... I mean for example if we talk about our deal with Mr. Wang you will see lots of problems." She stated.

"Yes, agreed that's why I send those files to Anna, so that he can reconsider some plans." Radhika.

"Keep me out of these, you girls handle everything... I am in break." I confessed while raising my hand in surrender.

"I am so proud of my two daughters, who are handling our Kingdom so nicely!" My father spoke up.

"And thanks to you two my workaholic son got some rest." My mother said while feeding me a spoonful of sambhar.

(Sambhar is a South Indian cuisine)

It's evening which means everyone in our home will participate in evening arti of maa durga which takes place daily, Adya didi instructed me on how to get ready today, as the local people will join us.

I got ready in a navy blue benrasi saree, and heavy gold jewelleries. I kept my lips nude, and highlighted my features with some little makeup. I got out of my room and found Adya didi coming towards me.
