Ayushree

Ayushree's POV 

After he gifted me the necklace, which was very mesmerizing,  he went to get ready, I looked at the time. It was 6:30 am, and I should go downstairs. I came out of the room and tried to figure it out the way. After roaming for some minutes, I finally found the way.

On reaching downstairs, I saw my mother in law in the drawing room, I went towards her and bent to touch her feet.

"Sada khush raho!" She blessed me.

"Maa, what do I have to do? I don't know much about all these things." I asked .

I just hope she doesn't get angry with me, though it doesn't look like she would ever get angry with anyone. She looks so sweet.

"Yeah, I will tell you. So first it will be your 'pehli rasoi' then some rituals, and at last it will be your muh dikhai in evening." she said 

"Karishma!" A voice called out maa, I turned and looked. It was his dadi sa, her name was Uma, my mother told me. With respect, I touched her feet also, and she blessed me, keeping her hand on my head.

"Mummy ji, we were coming for you only." Maa said to which dadi sa nodded.

"Ayushree, I think karishma has already told you what to do. You are now the eldest daughter-in-law. There is no space for mistakes in our family. You should be very thoughtful and careful about your actions, and you will have many responsibilities. The most important of them is to keep Adrakansh happy. You have to take care of all his needs. Am I clear?" She asked.

"Ji dadi sa, I will take care of everything." I said.

But inside, I was nervous thinking what would happen if I made any mistake. Will they punish me? 

Stop it! Ayushree! 

"Karishma, I am going to temple, you show the kitchen to Ayushree." dadi sa instructed Maa and left from there.

Maa showed me the kitchen and told me to prepare something sweet. But only sweet, won't it look bad? I should prepare a whole breakfast. I asked the workers what was usually made for breakfast and started to make dishes.

After an hour, everything was ready, I made aloo puri, poha, sandwiches, and chopped some fruits and juice for those who like light breakfast. For sweet dish, I decided sooji ka halwa, which was currently on stove, half cooked.

"Oh my God! This smells so nice!" I startled due to sudden voice.

I saw a man, maybe in his twenties, but he was definitely older than me. He must be one of my devars, if I am not wrong.

"So, I think you didn't recognise me." he said, taking out a bottle from the fridge.

I just stood speechless. He chuckled lightly and came towards me and said.

"Bhabhi, I am dhruv your youngest and most handsome devar." he said and bent down to touch my feet. My eyes widened and stepped back and said.

"No! What are you doing? You are older than me, how can you touch my feet" 

"So what? You might be younger than me in age, but not in relation." he said and finally touched my feet. I gulped and just kept my hand on his head.

He stood straight, and he was taller than me, almost the same as my husband.

"Why are you brothers so much tall?" I asked out of nowhere but kept my hand on my mouth as soon as I realized my words.

He started laughing and said.

"Oh my God, bhabhi, you are so cute and innocent." he said, pinching my cheeks.
