Transmigration to the 90's

Sasural/Maika

When Aadarsh and Randhir arrived at the Khurana mansion, they were greeted with warmth and joy. Suman was at the entrance, holding a traditional aarti thali, and she welcomed them with a bright smile. As she performed the aarti, she placed a sweet in Aadarsh's mouth and then offered it to Randhir. "Welcome home, Beta," she said, her eyes twinkling as she glanced at Randhir. "It's good to have you both here."

Aadarsh hadn't expected to see Sharanaya, his elder sister, as she was married and usually busy with her own family. But there she was, standing next to her husband, Raghav, who had also come along. Sharanaya had missed the pag phera due to work commitments, so she had decided to spend the week at home while Aadarsh was visiting.

"Aadarsh!" she called out, rushing over to give him a big hug. "I missed you so much!"

Aadarsh hugged her back, "I missed you too, Didi!"

Raghav, her husband, smiled and nodded at Aadarsh. "Looks like you're being well taken care of," he said teasingly.

"Of course, I am," Aadarsh replied with a grin. "But it's good to be home."

Before Aadarsh could even catch his breath, Samarth, his eldest brother, came forward and pulled him into a tight hug. "Look at you, little brother, all grown up and taking care of a whole household now!" he teased.

Nandini, Samarth's wife, joined in with a soft laugh. "You look happy, Aadarsh. That's all that matters."

As soon as the twin brothers, Karan and Arjun, saw Aadarsh, they rushed over, grinning widely. "Bhai!" they shouted, and without any warning, they picked him up, lifting him off his feet as they hugged him tightly.

"Okay, okay, put me down!" Aadarsh laughed, trying to sound stern but failing miserably. "I missed you all too!"

Randhir watched the scene unfold, slightly overwhelmed by the warm, chaotic affection the Khurana family shared. It was so different from the quieter, more reserved atmosphere of his own home. For a moment, he felt like an outsider looking in, but seeing Aadarsh's genuine happiness made him smile.

Amarjeet soon arrived, looking tired but happy. "I'm sorry, I couldn't welcome you both earlier," he said, his voice warm as he pulled Aadarsh into a hug. "I had an emergency at the company."

"That's alright, Papa," Aadarsh said, hugging him back. "I'm just happy to see you."

Amarjeet then turned to Randhir, giving him a firm, welcoming handshake. "I hope my son hasn't been too much trouble, Beta."

Randhir smiled, feeling a bit more at ease. "No, not at all, sir. He's been wonderful."

They all settled in the living room, sipping tea served by the maids as they talked and laughed. Aadarsh shared stories about his time at his sasural, and Amarjeet listened attentively, asking questions and teasing him gently. "So, are you managing everything well there, or is Randhir doing all the work?" he joked.

Aadarsh smiled, shaking his head. "I think it's a bit of both, Papa. We're figuring things out."

Randhir, who had been quietly sipping his tea, chimed in, "Aadarsh has been amazing. Honestly, I don't know how he manages everything so smoothly." He didn't say it loudly, but his tone carried a note of admiration that made Aadarsh glance at him, a bit surprised but pleased.

As the evening wore on, they all chatted and laughed, enjoying the sense of family and togetherness. After a while, Randhir and Aadarsh excused themselves to head to Aadarsh's room.

When they entered, Randhir couldn't help but look around in awe. The room was beautifully decorated, a mix of elegant and cozy. "This is... beautiful," he said softly, taking in the details.

"It's my favorite place," Aadarsh replied, smiling. "Now, you go take a bath. Dinner will be ready soon."

Randhir blinked, a bit taken aback by how easily Aadarsh switched into a caring, almost motherly tone. "Alright," he said, chuckling. "I'll be quick."

As he stepped into the bathroom, he couldn't help but admire how well-kept and luxurious it was. After a refreshing shower, he dressed and stepped out to find Aadarsh heading into the bathroom. "My turn," Aadarsh with a smile before disappearing inside.

When Aadarsh came out, Randhir was startled to see him wearing a western flowing dress. The last time he'd seen him like this was on their first night, and he hadn't expected it now. "You... look nice," he said awkwardly, not quite sure how to express himself.

"Thank you," Aadarsh replied simply, adjusting his dress. "Let's go. Dinner is ready."

Dinner was filled with more laughter and chatter. Everyone was eager to hear about Aadarsh's life, and Randhir found himself enjoying how natural and comfortable the Khuranas were with each other. He realized that, slowly but surely, he was getting used to this kind of warmth.

That night, after they had said their goodnights, Randhir found himself lying beside Aadarsh on the bed. It was the first time they were sharing a bed since their first night, and it felt strange but not uncomfortable. Aadarsh had fallen asleep almost instantly, his breathing soft and even.

Randhir, however, found himself wide awake, staring at the ceiling. He turned to look at his sleeping wife, his mind buzzing with thoughts. Aadarsh was kind, caring, and everything Randhir hadn't expected in a partner. He'd been so against this marriage at first, but now, watching Aadarsh sleep peacefully beside him, he felt a warmth in his chest that he couldn't quite understand.

"How did this happen?" he whispered to himself, a soft smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "When did I start... falling for you?"

With that thought lingering in his mind, he eventually drifted off to sleep, feeling more at ease than he had in a long time.

At last bro agreed he falling ;)
