"Hey, Sister-in-law!" Sid greeted as he stepped into the house.

"Hey, Brother-in-law! What's up?" I said, looking up from my crosswords. Agastya was sitting on the sofa next to me, reading his book.

It was an absolute quiet evening. Agastya was home on time, I finished my work and was home early. We cooked dinner together and afterwards were enjoying each other's company in absolute silence until, of course, Sid arrived.

"Someone is in a good mood!" Agastya teased without looking up.

"You are such a bad mind-reader, brother!" He went inside his room and came out with a bottle of hair oil in his hand. "Head massage?" He asked me, keeping the bottle on the table.

"You want me to give you one?" I asked, confirming.

"If you don't mind." He said, sitting down on the floor ahead of me.

"Of course." I wrapped the newspaper back and took the bottle.

My phone pinged with a message within a few seconds. The notifications said it was from Agastya. I looked up at him. He had this little smirk on his face.

'Don't give him my special massage.'

I bit my lip hiding the blush appearing on my face.

'Of course not, that's exclusive for you.' I typed back.

Getting bold!

He hid his face behind his book after he read the message, making me chuckle.

"Bhabhi, what does a woman want?" Sid questioned as I was gently trying to massage his scalp.

"Everything okay there?" Agastya asked, peeping out of his book.

"Yeah, that's a loaded question, Sid." I added.

"Just felt like asking..." He replied.

"Um, there's no right answer to this." I spoke after a little bit of thinking.

What does a woman want? Who thought about it ever?

"Then give me the most common answer." He countered.

"A few words of genuine appreciation when she cooks, a 'I'm all ears!' when she too had a tough day, holding hands while walking on the road, eyes for her and only for her, a box full of compliments when she gets ready, especially for you, again genuine compliments. Or a 'Damon Salvatore gaze' would be much appreciated when he saw Elena Gilbert walking in--"

"The Mikaelson party!" He finished my sentence. "Fuck! You have watched TVD?"

"Who hasn't from our generation? And I am not finished yet!"

"Sorry, continue!" He cleared his throat.

"And the 'Darcy hand flex' when she removes her hand from his hold! Pretty much that's all a woman wants."
