Chapter 10

Kanvika pov

Ma, Dadi, Vikki, Amu everyone is very sweet. But I didn't meet my father-in-law and dadu. Also, I didn't see him till now after our conversation late at night.

Amu helped me to wear the saree as I didn't know how to wear it. I wore a light orange saree with pretty work on it. I wore my bangles, neck choker, nuptial chain, small bindi, and light make up and at last, I applied vermilion.

I'm looking pretty. I looked at myself for the nth time in the mirror and went down.

Oho, my daughter is looking pretty, Ma exclaimed coming towards me. Thank you ma, I said with a blush. Come with me she dragged me near a tall man who was none other than his father.

She said he is my husband Vijay, Abhimanyu's father and your father.
I looked at him, and he caressed my hair lovingly, welcome to the family beta, he said with a smile.

Thank you Papa I muttered. I know that my son is Stubborn he needs to process things. He also has anger issues but he is pure at his heart, he said. I smiled at him, he was cool.

Hey saamu, I shouted and everyone looked at me, immediately I went and hugged Dadu and he also hugged me back. How are you kanvi beta? He asked me while caressing my hair lovingly.

I'm a good Dadu, I said with a smile. How are you? How is your health? Are you taking medicines on time? Why are you not coming for a jog? I asked him all the questions at a time.

I'm fit and fine bacha, I'm super strong, I'm taking medicine on time, for a week I was busy so I couldn't come, he answered all my questions with a smile.

Welcome to the family beta, he said
with a smile patting my head lovingly.
Bhabhi you both know each other? Amu asked. I nodded with a smile. Bhabhi saamu name is super cool, vikki said. Me and Dadu are friends, I said.

Oh yes, your Dadu talks a lot about you every morning in the house while having breakfast, dadi said. Yes Bhabhi, both the cousins said. Yes, she is my sweet granddaughter, so why don't I talk about her, dadu said with pride.

Ok ok, you can all discuss it later, neighbors and relatives will be coming, Ma said. My eyes searched for him but I couldn't find him anywhere. Kanvi beta Maan is not here as he has an emergency. He went to London to handle that company issue, papa said as he saw me searching for him.

I nodded with a sigh but I felt sad. I don't know why. In muh dikhai rasam, everyone praised my beauty and also gifted me.

After that, Everyone went off but his maasi was still there, what are you going to cook for pehli rasoi?, she asked me. Now this is a very big task in my house. My papa, Akash or jyoti(cook) used to cook, when mumma was alive she used to cook.

I and Akash studied together so we used to stay together. He used to cook and clean the dishes and I used to clean the rest of the house.

Later We used to share the house with our friends so I never took kitchen duty. My mom used to tell me to stir. I only know that to do. Seriously I never got time to learn cooking.

Whenever I cooked I used to burn the food or burn my hands or cut my hands while cutting veggies. The only dishes I know are Maggie, cupcakes, and omelet.

I will be getting very bad night cravings. That time I will be cooking Maggie also I know to make coffee, I was thinking then Ma shook me asking what happened.

Ma I don't know how to cook, I whispered in her ear. That's fine bacha I will help you, she said with a smile. With her help I made Kheer, luckily everyone liked it.

Then Dadi and Dadu gave me a necklace saying that it was given by Dadi's mother-in-law and she saved it for her grandchildren's wives. Ma and Papa gave me very beautiful bangles. Amu gave me cool headphones as I said I listen to music a lot. Vikki gave me a stethoscope which is white and it's my favorite.
