Adhira

I have no idea when I fell asleep, but when I woke up, I found myself sitting on the couch with my head rested on Sir's shoulder and he had his head on mine.

I just moved my head a little to avoid the pain in my neck, but he immediately woke up with my movement.

He was startled, but soon composed himself before saying, "Good morning Adhira."

"Good Morning!" I wished back.

"Looks like you slept yesterday!" He exclaimed.

"Yeah... You too." I said.

He looked at me in disbelief, but then replied, "Oh yes!"

"Ok now, I'll go and freshen up first, I'm already late!" I said and quickly got up,took my clothes from the wadrobe and rushed in the bathroom, not giving him even a second to reply.

I did my morning routine, took a shower and then got dressed in a lavender Anarkali suit.

I went down stairs to see Mom already busy in the kitchen.

"Good Morning Adhira!" She greeted as I entered the kitchen.

"Good Morning mom." I replied.

"Shall I help you with anything?" I asked.

"You know how to cook?" She asked, her tone sounding surprised.

"Is it a surprise?" I asked.

"Well, the daughter in laws of my friends don't know, so they're always cribbing about it in our parties." She replied, stirring the potato curry in the pot.

"Well, I know how to, so let me help you." I said, and took the rolling pin from her hand to roll out the puris.

"Well, let me do this, you prepare the Halwa." She said, pointing that all the necessary ingredients kept ready on the kitchen counter.

I began preparing the Halwa as she had asked, while occasionally helping her.

"So, we're you able to sleep well?" She asked.

"Well, it's a new place, but yeah, I slept fine." I said and then suddenly a question came in my mind.

"Can you let Arth sleep in our room, like he used to? Actually Sir is quite habituated with him..." I reasoned.

"Chill... I know you guys are not in love with each other." She said and I gasped in shock.

"Wh... What do you mean?" I asked, trying to mask my surprise.

"It would be a shame on my thirty years as a mother if I don't understand when  my son is lying." She replied.

"But I know you will definitely fall in love, I can see that in you both." She said, smiling dreamily.

"Anyways, I was going to send Arth to your room yesterday itself, but I felt maybe you should talk for a night at least." She replied as we both finished cooking the breakfast.

"So did you talk?" She asked to which I just shook my head in agreement.

"That's nice, so on any specific topic or random stuff?"
