New beginning (Part1)

By 6 AM, Sunitha ma came and helped her in identifying kitchen stores, vegetables to make breakfast. By 7.30, she finished making veg poha, aloo masala, carrot halwa and kheer. She wanted to make poori and bread sandwich hot when they seated for breakfast. She kept dough ready, and made coffee for all. She went to Ria's room to woke Ria, and made her to brush her teeth and take bath. She got ready in her new saree after drying her hair, and came out at 8 with Ria. All family members are started to come and waited for Arjun to start the pooja. They asked Deepak to call Arjun down. Arjun woke up at 7.30 AM, and went to his room to check if she is still there. But not seeing her and her things, he went to bathroom and got ready in 30 mins in his formal attire. He heard Deepak voice and came down and felt different seeing Kayal in the beautiful saree and her simple looks.

After Latha, Anjali doing aarthi they asked Kayal and Arjun to come and do the aarthi together. Arjun didn't want to make any scene came forward, and Kayal stand next to him. They both did the aarthi together and their hands touched when holding the plate. Ria is smiling seeing all happening, called them ma and papa. Kayal felt her heartbeat is rising when Arjun comes near and in their little physical intimacy. She doesn't want to get excited and she already knows where this path takes her. After pooja, all seated in dinning table. Kayal started to make poori and bread sandwich. She served the breakfast and sweets as per the traditions, and hoped they liked her cooking. She is not a bad cook, but she always felt they are different from her.

Arjun's dadi ate first and praised Kayal for the delicious food. She also thanked Kayal for remembering her health and making less salt and oil food. Everyone praised Kayal as the food is very delicious, other than Arjun. Arjun had only sandwich, and feeling its taste he know Kayal made his breakfast too. Latha asks him to try poori and aloo masala, as its very tasty. Arjun takes a bite to not to ignore his mother request, and liked it. But he doesn't make any comments. Finally, Kheer and carrot halwa is served. All are very delicious and gifted Kayal. Dadi and Latha gifted her gold bangles and earrings. Arjun's father, uncle gifted her money and asked her to buy what she likes. Anjali gifted her anklets, and Deepak and Disha gifted her handbag. Arjun didn't prepare anything, so he gave his card and asked her to buy anything. He didn't want to show his dislikes on Kayal in front of his family. Kayal got their blessing and felt happy they liked her food.

Ria had a small bite of all and drank milk and went to play. Latha asked Kayal to have breakfast, but Kayal want to go to temple so she asked Latha's permission . Latha asked Arjun to go along with Kayal and then to office. Arjun hated all this, and couldn't continue his acting, he said he had an important meeting and cant postpone it and left to office. Latha called the driver and asked him to take Kayal to temple. Kayal said she will manage alone as its near, but Latha asked her to listen to her and not to worry on all these. She is the daughter-in-law of this house, and she has same respect and importance as others, so she asked to get comfortable.

Kayal took Ria too as they are going in car, and went to temple. They reached home at 11 and Ria is sleepy, so Kayal made her sleep in her room and came to Kitchen to have her breakfast. Then started preparing Lunch, and everyone liked Kayal's cooking. Latha saw Kayal not going upstairs and went to Ria room to check. Seeing her belongings in Ria's room, she got upset with Arjun and called one of the maids to move Kayal's and some of Ria's things in Arjun room. She herself went and made space in cupboard and unpacked Kayals bag. There isn't much clothers or other things Kayal had, so she thought of taking Kayal to shopping.

Kayal is playing with Ria in garden unaware of these things. Latha called her and asked her to get ready for shopping. Kayal tries to refuse, but Latha said she wanted to buy somethings. Kayal went in Ria room to see are belonging are missing. Latha came behind and told her bags are moved to Arjun's room and she has already unpacked her things in the cupboard. She doesn't want any reasons from Kayal as she knows what would have happened and ask her to understand Arjun and give him time. He is not a bad person, but because of his first marriage he turned into such person. Kayal doesn't want to make Arjun angry, asked Latha to give him some space as she understands him and for a while she will stay in Ria's room. Latha told Kayal, Arjun wont understand her until she is near to him. So, she said she will speak with Arjun tonight and asked to get ready soon. Kayal worrying about tonight consequence, went to Arjun's room to change.

Latha, Kayal and Ria came to shopping in a mall. Its very big and luxurious. Kayal bought the cash she received in morning as gift in case to buy something. She kept Arjun's card in her bag in thought of returning to him soon. Latha bought Kayal to saree shops which she regularly buys and asked the sales person to get beautifully sarees for Kayal. Kayal said she already got some new sarees and salwar's and doesn't want any. Latha didn't listen to her and bought some 10 sarees from simple to grand, and asked Kayal to wear to office and functions. It's very costly and Kayal is not familiar with all the brands and worried. She then took Kayal to salwar shop, inner and night garments, bags, footwear, accessories and many.

Kayal felt more tensed on seeing the shopping bags and asked Latha she really doesn't need all these things. Latha felt sad saying her daughter is refusing everything her mother gives, she just calls her ma and really not thinking so. Kayal says it's not like that and apologies if she is offended, and says she is still not sure if she can really accept their love, care, and their blessings. Latha told her she should move from the past and see her present and future which is them. She understands her worries, but they really care for her as their family when she accepted for the marriage.

They finally went to children's shop, and bought some dresses for Ria. Its almost 8 PM they reached home. Seeing their bags ,family asked if they looted the entire mall and laughed. Latha asked maids to keep the bags in Arjun room and asked everyone to come for dinner. After dinner, Latha asked Kayal to go and rest. Seeing her worried face, Latha assures her she will always be by her side and not to worry too much. Kayal took Ria and went to Arjun room. She already arranged a small bed to sleep beside the bed in floor. She made Ria lie in her lap and asked her to sleep. Ria called her ma and played with her without sleeping. Every time she calls herma, she couldn't help but smile at the kid. Kayal sing a lullaby for Ria making her sleepy. Ria listening to Kayal's singing slept soon. Kayal made her sleep in the bed, and switched off the lights keeping the night lamp on alone. She lied down in the floor and waited for Arjun.
