"When will you come back biwi it's been a week" he said over the phone flipping the pages of the file as he paced around his office

"take a seat first malhotra ji and have some water" she replied as she baked her father's favourite brownies

"no you have been staying there for over a week you said you will be back in few days" he complained as he took a seat

"i am thinking to stay here for 3-4 days more pri and papa doesn't want me to leave so soon" she said as she mixed the batter

"So soon? it's been more than a week" he winced like a child

she laughed at his antics

"what's funny about this?" he asked innocently yet in a frustrated tone

"You know i wish you were here so i could see your face" she said chuckling

"Okay then i am coming over" he said closing his file

"Malhotra ji you can come pick me up tomorrow morning" she said finally to calm his hyper self

He smirked as a thought striked his mind

"wait for me biwi" he said and hung up the phone leaving her puzzled

she shook her head and kept the brownies in the oven

"so you are going tomorrow" maa asked as she stirred the paneer makhni in the pan

she nodded

"he was sounding mad you should have heard him" she said laughing

"princess are you happy? like really?" papa asked as he was helping mumma as he chopped some vegetables for the salad

"Yes papa everyone there loves me like they used to" she said smiling as her father kissed her head lovingly

"Didn't you listened how desperate her husband was sounding" prisha said as she took out the Brownies from the oven to cool down

her cheeks went red as they all chuckled that was true he sounded like he will leave everything and come over if she said that she wants him here

MIHIKA

it was our love language to cook with, for each other ankita chachi doesn't like to cook so we don't force her into anything and aakash chachu was out of town for his work

i got this similar vibe at his home also maa and choti maa used to cook with me whenever i wanted to cook and even krishiv sometimes used to cook maggi for us whenever my mood got sullen

ruhi called me everyday since i was here she hadn't anyone to gossip with ishani went to jaipur after our reception as her exams were near but she used to call me and ranted about her day

ritvik used to text me how my husband is testing everyone's patience as he was too grumpy towards them since i left and i couldn't help but laugh

they didn't make me feel that i was away from them that's how we all were connected and i always imagined having a family like i have now and i couldn't get any happier

i was relaxed as dadi's taunt were on hold for now I don't know why she have a hard corner for me

And about Him... god really was on my side when he sent him in my life as my husband in these days when we weren't close to eachother he made me feel his presence emotionally i never felt like my presence didn't effected him he always made me feel valued seen and i couldn't get tired of his 'i wish you were here' texts in these days we have gotten closer emotionally
