Chapter 21

In the night,

After dinner, Mira was going to her room when Aarav stopped her.

“ What happened, Aarav?”she asked him.

“ Mom, come with me”, Aarav said, holding her hand.

“ Where are you taking me?”, she asked him.

He didn't reply and took her to Adhiraj's room.

“ Aarav, listen to me”, Mira said, trying to stop him.

Entering the room,Mira saw Ayush and Ahaan sitting on bed while Adhiraj was sitting on the couch with his laptop.

Adhiraj looked up and saw Mira entering the room with Aarav.

“ Mom, Dad, we want to sleep with you both. Please!!”Aarav said, requesting them.

“ But Aarav …”, Mira was about to say no.

“ Please”, Aarav said, showing his puppy eyes. His brothers also followed his lead and showed them their puppy eyes, saying “Please.”

“ Okay, get back to bed”, Adhiraj said, making triplets jump in happiness.

“ Yay!!”, triplets said happily.

Mira was looking at their happy faces. She doesn't have the heart to make them sad.

Mira turned her gaze towards Adhiraj and her dark brown eyes met with his Hazel eyes.

“ Okay”, she mumbled and lay on the bed beside triplets.

She was telling them a story, with a smiling face.

Adhiraj was gazing at them from time to time.

Soon the triplets fall asleep hearing Mira’s story and in between telling them the story,Mira also falls asleep.

Adhiraj saw them sleeping soundly with a smile on his face.

He shut down his laptop and made his way towards the bed.

He covered the children with a blanket and kissed them on their forehead one by one. Then he moves closer to Mira and  makes her lay on bed properly, putting the blanket on her body.

He looked at her face for a few minutes with a smile on his lips and a different glow in his eyes.

He kissed her on her forehead and mumbled, “Good night, dear Wife”

He switched off the light before lying on the other side of the triplets, with them in the centre of the bed.

Some days passed and now triplets are used to sleeping with Mira and Adhiraj in Adhiraj's room.

Today, they woke up early in the morning because they needed to go to their kuldevi temple for puja for the newly wed couples.

Everyone got ready and settled themselves in the car. Mira was sitting in Adhiraj's car along with the triplets.

It took them three hours to reach the temple. Since they are here for puja, all the ladies were wearing sarees.

When they reached inside the temple, they saw pandit ji sitting beside the Havan kund, doing all the preparation for the puja.

“ Pranam Pandit ji”, both the Raghuvanshi and Rathore family greet the Pandit ji.

Pandit ji asked Kiara-Rehaan and Manik - Riya to sit in the puja since there was little time left for the mahurat.

“ Adhiraj, Tara, you both also join the puja with them”, Adhiraj’s grandmother said to them.

Because of the circumstances in which Adhiraj and Tara had gotten married in the past, the Raghuvanshi family was not able to do their kuldevi Puja for them.

Due to which, today they decided to include Adhiraj and his wife as well.

Mira was feeling a little hesitant to join Adhiraj as his wife in front of God, since it was a lie but having no other option,she sat beside Adhiraj in Puja.

“ Before starting the puja, please fill vermilion in your Wife's maang”, Pandit ji said to the couples.

“ Adhiraj beta, your wife is not wearing a mangalsutra( nuptial chain). Make her wear this mangalsutra( nuptial chain)”, Pandit ji said, giving him a simple mangalsutra.

Adhiraj took the mangalsutra( nuptial chain) from Pandit Ji's hands and make Mira wear it before filling her maang with vermilion

Everyone happened so fast, Mira didn't even get the chance to react.

She was feeling overwhelmed, thinking about how Adhiraj had filled her maang and made her wear mangalsutra inside the temple.

Mira is a normal middle class girl and for her, these Sindoor and mangalsutra has a significant meaning and not just a piece of jewellery.

Soon the puja started. Adhiraj was asked to hold her hand to perform puja. Mira was feeling different emotions doing this puja with Adhiraj.

She was feeling like she and Adhiraj are really husband and wife and she is not living a lie.

Later they took the blessings of elders by touching their feets.

Once the puja was finished,they went to their farm house which was situated near the temple.

Since everyone was tired, they went to their rooms to sleep.

Mira was sleeping along with Adhiraj and triplets in the room when she felt someone shaking her.

“ Mom, I am hungry”, Ayush said, pulling Mira’s saree.

“ Okay!! Give me five minutes,I will make something for you”, Mira said and went to the farmhouse's kitchen.

She found some vegetables in the kitchen and some pasta. She hurriedly made pasta with lots of veggies.

Ayush was waiting for her, sitting on the dining table just outside the kitchen.

“ Ayush, here is your pasta. Finish it quickly”, Mira said to Ayush, serving him pasta.

“ Umm….very yummy…. Thank you,Mom”, Ayush said, giving her a kiss on her cheek.

“ What are you eating?”Ahaan asked, entering the dining area along with Aarav and Adhiraj.

“ Mom had made pasta for me…it's very yummy”, Ayush said, enjoying his pasta.

“ We also want to eat Pasta, Mom”, Aarav said to Mira.

“ I know you both will be hungry once you wake up so I already made pasta for you as well.”,Mira said and went to bring their pasta.

“ Here is your Pasta”, Mira said, placing the plates in front of them.

“ Thank you, Mom”,Ayaan and Aarav said and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

“ Here is your Pasta”, Mira said, placing a plate in front of Adhiraj.

She also sits beside them, having her pasta. They were sitting together and eating pasta, like a real family.

Adhiraj eats the pasta slowly,enjoying its taste.

Triplets finished their pasta and went to play in the garden after putting their plates in the sink, leaving Adhiraj and Mira alone.

Adhiraj finished his pasta and got up with his plate. Mira was still eating her pasta when she felt Adhiraj leaning towards her.


“ Thank you for the pasta. It was really tasty”, Adhiraj whispered in her ear and gave her a kiss on her cheek, making her widen her eyes.

Adhiraj smirked seeing her shocked expressions and left from there after putting his plate in the sink.
