finally it's the day of famous festival Ugadi which is mostly celebrated in south India it is said as the actual new year of the Hindus according to vedas which brings us different year with new hopes and Colors. To celebrate it we specially prepare the pacchadi(Prasadam) which consists of 5 tastes such as sweet, sour, salty ,bitter, piquant and spicy symbolising a mix of all flavours one must expect to face in the coming year which signifies the happiness, sadness, anger, fear and surprise so this is the meaning of Ugadi for which we celebrate.
In the morning, the sun lights falls through the room on there faces which are close to each other by that Aadhya stirs from her sleep and admires her husband's face which is glowing by the way of sunlight to which she smiled and went towards him to kiss on his forehead with love and passion but unknown to her ekaansh is observing her but didn't disturb her as he is experiencing her love openly so he is acting as if he is asleep. As Aadhya tried to get up ekaansh held her hand and brought it near his lips to kiss to which she got startled but shy away due to this she didn't turn and ran away to restroom as it is a festival today she has so many works to which he said "slowly jaan , don't forget u r pregnant with my babies" to which she turned and seen him to slow her pace "haaa ekaansh jii don't worry I am super mommy 😂" to which ekaansh chuckled at her antics. She got ready in a traditional white saree and took her husband's kurti which is white.
After sometime they both got ready to go downstairs where Dadaji and Varun are waiting for them. They both went towards dadaji to take ashirwad from him but he held her and put his hand on her head said "aap pet se ho beti aaisa bend math karo" to which aadhya smiled and nodded "after the prayer can we go to temple dadaji, our full family" to which he said " beta I have a meeting !!" Aadhya's mood got sour but nodded which dadaji didn't like her expression so in order to cheer her up he said "thik he beta hum jayenge aisa na hoo mai tumhe aisa nahi dhek sakti " to which her mood returned and eyes shined with smile "bhabhi maa tum thik ho na!??" To which she kept her hand on Varun's head said " Mai thik hu devar jiii aur mai ugadi prasad banane ke liye ja rahi hu " to which he said "haa bhabhi Mai bhi aapki help kartha hu, come on " with that he nodded at his brother and dada went with her. As soon as she entered into kitchen she took neem flowers, jaggery, raw mango , coconut, tamarind and a new made pot. He confused and asked "bhabhi ye sab dalna he kya is pot me ???" "Ha devar jii we have to cut all these and put them in the jaggery and tamarind water which resembles all forms of our feelings" (explained the first paragraph to him)to which he nodded and helped her, Finally they made the pacchadi .
With that she also made the rice pudding for prasad carried it to small temple at their home and Varun carried pachadi. They did their prayer's to god where aadhya prayed for her family's health "he Bhagwan Mai apse yehi mangungi ki mera pariwar hamesha swasth or kush rakiye ga" where ekaansh prayed "i don't know what to pray but I am believing you as you brought aadhya into my life aur Mai apse yehi prardhana karungi ki mera family ko hamesha protect kariye " . They ate and drank the prasad and pachadi by making weird faces and is different as it is their first time for the rest of them other than aadhya as she celebrated every year with her parents but she avoided that matter.
They left for temple which is famous and constructed by their ancestors only so they go first to visit the mahadev and did the Abhishekam with peace to pray for their future one's.After completing of pooja they left for some welfare programs which were held at temple so aadhya helped in them as she love to do that help with her heart's content. As she is doing that she have seen a mother and daughter's scene where mother is telling her daughter how to behave in temple but her daughter is laughing at the words said by her mother and both went away laughing. Suddenly aadhya remembering her mother and their temple scenes brought tears to her eyes as tears are coming which was seen by her devar varun and he came worryingly "bhabhi maa kya hua?? Kyu ro rahi ho kuch hua he kya??" Asked but to this she cried somuch again so he worringly called ekaansh there to console her bhabhi. Ekaansh came and took her into his arms to which she wrapped her arms around his neck by crying hard to which ekaansh's heart is breaking asked "kya hua jaan" to which she nodded in no and said "I don't know by seeing mother-daughter I wanted to cry " (she don't want to let him feel bad if she shares it & major part is pregnancy hormones) he consoled her and took her to clear her face . Ekaansh took her to the river bank which she love the most so he said "kya hua mere jaan ko??" By caressing her hair to ear to which she kept her hand on his by grazing lovingly "nothing husband" with curious glance. He said "aap bahut sundar ho aaj sirf meri jaisa and aap pe ye pregnancy achi he with my babies" to which she widened her eyes slapped on his chest with full blown laugh "aap bhi hoo" he shocked "Mai?? Beautiful???" She shook and said "nahi mere pathi tho bahut handsome he!!" To which he smiled but she laughed hard.
Finally they left for their home and did their dinner went towards their respective rooms as soon as aadhya slept on bed she slept soundly for which her husband amused at her behaviour and kissed her forehead.
