Adit's Pov

"Yeah, I will deal with it" I said through the phone

From the peripheral view, I saw my wife entering with a cup of tea. The aroma of her masala tea, engulfing the surroundings.

"Yeah, mail me" I said and saw my wife walking to me

"No, fix the meeting on coming Friday.... Yeah after diwali"

She handed over the tea, in my hands. I muttered a small thank you and talked to him, for a some more minutes.

Currently we are in the living room, enjoying our morning tea. Achan have a news paper in his hand, while amma scrolled through some random things on her phone, stating that she should buy things for diwali celebrations. Meanwhile my little squirrel just sat next to amma and they started to look into it. May be shopping for diwali.

It's been almost a week, since I kissed her. No, we kissed. After that night, she avoided me, the whole morning, when we returned home. It took me an hour to go to our room and kiss her again, explaining that it's normal, and not to shy away. Then after that, I stole some kisses from her anywhere I got a chance.

Not as intense as the first one, but pecks and smooches. But she likes it. I know. She smiles and blushes whenever I kiss her.

"Adu?" I heard amma call me

"Haa"

"Are you making diyas, for this diwali too?" She asked

"Yeah, I have already set the clay" I said sitting down

"Adi, did you repair the fairy lights and bulbs?" She asked and achan paled in the shade of newspaper

"Adi?" She stressed

"Haa, voh.... I gave them... Um..... I will go, get it by evening" He said and blinked

"Jhoot bolna koi aapse seekhe" She glared and stood up, before yanking the newspaper from him

She opened her mouth to of course, to scold him. But before she could do anything, he stood up and pulled her to him, wrapping his hands around her.

"Sorry anu......I love you. I will get it done today......I am so sorry. I know I am not responsible. Kaisa pati mil gaya tumhe!!!. But I will try for you. I know I am an idiot. But I swear, I will do it right"

He always does this!

Giving the speech, he was breathing and looking at me with pleading eyes, if he will again get scolded, he wants my help. I saw my wife gaping at them, from the corner. She was silent, then slightly pushing achan away, she narrowed her eyes at him.

"Fine, get it done" She said and walked away to the kitchen, while naina followed her.

"Uff...!! Bach gaya" He exhaled

Achan sighed and grinned in victory. I shook my head and stared at him.

"Tu kya muh bhadke dekh raha hain? Jaake diye bana, varna teri maa, mere upar diwali manayegi" He said and rushed to the store room to get the lights

I chuckled and went to my room. After some time, when I walked down, I saw naina, setting the table with amma. They were talking. I stopped in my tracks, as I heard her speak about her family.

"Aur aapko pata hain, It was my duty to make the rangoli, every year" She said with a huge smile

"Accha? Then, you can make here too" Amma said

"Sacchi?" She beamed

"Haa" Amma giggled

She nodded her head and placed the plates, while madhuri mausi walked in to the dining room with the jug of juice. I walked down and they saw me.
