Sidnaaz enter in their room and suddenly the awkwardness surrounded them. He thank his family that they remove the decoration from his room otherwise it will be more awkward for them.

"Ahmm tum chaho to change kar lo, maa ne bola hai shaam me ek choti si pooja hai ghar me" he said to erase the awkwardness between them, he know she is nervous around him her body language say it clearly.

"O.. ohk" she try to smile and control her nervousness, this is the first time when she is close to a man, she never went into a relationship because she want to be a one man woman, same goes with him he never make girl-friends, he never make girl- bestfriend he always want his wife to be his first priority, he didn't want a fight between his wife and his girl bestfriend.

She take her suitcase and open it in the corner of the room, he saw this.

"Shehnaaz wo cupboard ki ek side khali hai tum chaho to waha rakh lena apne kapde aur jagha kam padhe to bata dena main jagha kar dunga" he said and pick his comfy cloths than he went to bathroom.

She took a deep breath because this is getting more awkward than she thought, she was confused what to do or not, she never had such a relationship with her mother that she would ever explain it to her what to do in your in-laws house on the first day, she feel restless and alone now, she wanted to cry but she can't do this.

She hear the opening sound of the bathroom door and hide her tears, she grab her cloths and stood up.

"Yo... you can use it now" he said getting nervous.

"Okay" she said in low voice than went inside.

"Gosh Sidharth this is so difficult" he rub his face and sat down on the bed, he thought how can he said to her to share the bed with him, will the situation will be more awkward between them? Than how will this marriage work they have to be comfortable around each other.

He ignore all his thoughts and start using his phone, he open his Instagram and suddenly hundred of messages flood into his message box, he huffed and open his friends group. He read an article about his wedding. He shrugged it off and open the reels sections.

Shehnaaz come out from this bathroom and hear some music, she saw Sidharth on the bed, she pick her dupatta and hang around her shoulder, she was wearing a light cotton suit as she thought her in-laws didn't like if she wear t-shirts and trousers, because in mostly indian households in-laws didn't like if their daughter-in-law wear this type of cloths.

She went near the bed and thought where to sleep, there is no sofa in the room, wait a second would he really have asked me to sleep on the couch? No he is not like others, she pout sadly and bite her lower lip in tension.

Sidharth see her standing near the bed, she was lost in her thoughts from past ten minutes.

"Shehnaaz" he keep his phone aside and called her.

"Haan?" She turn towards him.

"Kya hua rest kar lo thoda".

She blink her eyes in tension and nodded, she sat on the bed corner.

"Ahmm tum agar jaldi utho to mujhe utha dena warna mom to aa hi jayengi" he said and lay down on the bed.

She hummed and lay down on the other side of the bed keeping pillow between them. Bad idea? Nah.

Shehnaaz woke up around 5pm when she hear the knock on the door, she turn around and saw Sidharth was sleeping on his stomach with a open mouth, his messy hairs are distracting her, she come out from her thoughts when she again hear the knock, she stood up and open the door. Rita maa was standing there with a box.

"Beta so gaye the?" She asked looking at her condition.

Shehnaaz smile nervously "ji sorry aunty wo main-"

"Are sorry kiu beta it's okay i know tum thak gai hongi acha ye lo ye tumhare liye hai 6 baje pooja hai niche aa jaana ready hokar main jab tak kuch khane ko bhijwati hu" she give her a box.

"Aunty ji main ye kese?" She hesitate little to take something from her.

"Baccha pehle to daro mat mujhe maa jese hi samjho aur isme saree hai specially apni bahu ke liye" she said with a beautiful smile on her face.

Shehnaaz caressing the saree with a sadness in her eyes, she gulped down her saliva and smile forcefully.

"Okay aunty"

Rita maa notice her expressions and asked "kya hua pasand nahi aai?"

"Na.. Nahi aesa nahi hai"

"To phir beta maa hu main chehra dekh kar bata deti hu kya chal raha hai mere baccho ke dimag me aur ab to tu bhi meri beti jesi hai chal bata kya hua"

Shehnaaz look down "wo aunty actually ye to aap sab shreya ke liye laai hongi na to ye main kese?"

Rita maa smile and caressing her head "ye uske liye nahi hai specially tere liye lekar aai hu mujhe pata hai beta jo hua wo galat hua aur main shreya ke badle tujhe zarur laai hu lekin isma matlab ye nahi hai ki uske liye laai hu cheeze main tujhe de du tu bohot alag hai usse aur ab is ghar ki bahu hai mera farz banta hai meri bahu ko main uski jagha du na ki kisi aur ki".

Shehnaaz smile with tears and hug her tightly "thank you for understanding me aunty".

"Dhat aunty nahi maa bol ab".

"Ji maa" Shehnaaz giggle

"Chal ab jaldi se ready ho jaana aur us kumkaran ko bhi utha dena".

"Okay" she closed the door when rita maa left from there.

She saw Sidharth was sitting on bed with a smile on his face.

"Kya hua?" She asked him getting confused.

"Kuch nahi mom kya keh rahi thi?" He didn't told her how much happy he is feeling after seeing the bond of his mother and his wife.

"Wo pooja ke liye kapde dekar gai hai aap uth gaye ho to ready ho jaao".

"Hmm sahi hai bahu ke liye naye kapde aur bete ko to bhul hi gai hai" he said showing fake anger.

Shehnaaz giggle on his act, he look cute showing his fake anger.

"Haan bhai tum bhi has lo kar lo ek team saas bahu mera kya hai reh lunga aese"

Shehnaaz laughed loudly "chote bacche jese complaint kar rahe ho aap".

"Tum meri jagha hogi na tab samjhogi"

Her smile fade away thinking about her mother and Shreya. Sidharth notice it and he changed the topic.

"Wese kya diya mom ne?" He snatch the box from her hand.

"Kya kar rahe hai aap?" She again snatch the box.

"Areeee dekh hi to raha hu kya diya hai meri maa ne isme itna gussa kiu ho rahi ho".

"Maa ne mujhe diya aapko nahi aap dur rahiye mere gift se" she show him her tongue to tease him, he move his head in disbelief.

"Okay fine locker me rakh do isse".

"Ha ha rakh dungi ab aap jaiye aur ready hokar aaiye" she push him towards the bathroom, he laugh and enter inside. She smile widely thinking about her new life.
