Kaisi Yeh Zindagani: A Twisted Tale (2)

Part 1

(Lakshmi (in her new form) has sent Rishi to jail for trying to do engagement with Malishka even after being married to her and her being pregnant. Meanwhile Diya doubts wether this Lakshmi is the real Lakshmi or not.)

Scene starts in Diya and Shakti's house,

The alarm clock's sound pierced through the whole silent house in the morning. Diya, under the influence of her sweet sleep tried to turn off the irritating sound of the alarm when Shakti entered the room with breakfast for himself and Diya.

Shakti: Uth jaaiye miss Diya....subah ho gayi hain.
Diya(still in sleep): Bas paanch minute....
Shakti: Tu pichle do ghanto se paanch minute hi bole jaa rahi hain. Humein Lakshmi ko dekhne bhi jaana hain....bhool gayi?
Diya sat up suddenly, her hair all messed up.

Shakti(with a smile): Good morning wifey.....
Diya(brushing off her hair): Good morning...(yawning).....yeh subah itni jaldi kyun ho jaati hain?
Shakti: Iska jawab toh kisi ke paas nahi hain. Koi nahi....tu apna dukh dard kam karne ke liye parathe kha....methi ke.

Diya(lighting up): Methi ke parathe?
Shakti(with a smile): Haan....methi ke parathe with chai.....tere favourite. Chal jaldi brush karke aa jaa. Main tab tak jaa kar ghee le kar aata hoon.
Diya: Haan haan....jaldi jaa....
Shakti(with a smile): Okayy baba.....

Shakti came back after sometime only to find Diya waiting paitently for the ghee.
Shakti: Yeh lijiye madam......
Diya snatched the container of ghee....applied it on the methi paratha and started eating it as if it was the best food in this whole world.
Shakti: Chai dheere dheere peena....garam hain.
Diya:👍🏻
Diya(munching on her paratha): Tera breakfast kaha hain?
Shakti: Mera vrat hain....
Diya(raising her eyebrows): Apni ex girlfriend ki lambi umra ke liye?
Shakti: Jii nahi madam.....apni...(pulling Diya's cheek)....present and future wife ke liye.
Diya: Kis khushi mein?
Shakti: Karwachauth hain aaj yaar.....
Diya(widening her eyes): Tu ne sach mein...mere liye fast rakha hain?
Shakti(taking a deep breath): Rakhna para....
Diya: Kyun?
Shakti: Ab.....meri wifey apne aap ko hamesha musibat mein jo daalti rehti hain.
Diya glared at Shakti.
Diya: Seriously?
Shakti(giggling): Nahi.....par....(side hugging Diya)....vrat maine rakha hain.
Diya: Kis khushi mein rakha hain? Meri itni parwah hain tujhe?
Shakti(sighing): Parwah toh karna hi parega na.....warna agar tu chali gayi toh mere saath kaun saara din jhagda karega?
Diya(teasing): Oh....so you like quarelling with me?
Shakti: Tu na apne delusional world se bahar aa jaa.....aur jaldi breakfast khatam kar...aur please....for God's sake jaldi ready ho jaa.
Diya(munching her paratha): Hmm....tu bhi kha le tab tak....main naha kar aayi.

Saying this Diya ran to the bathroom with a leftover piece of methi paratha in her hand.

A small chuckle left Shakti's lips but then it slowly curved into a smile.
