Unforeseen Dawn

The Household of Passion

Since that night,Arjun and Shreya maintained a distance.
They didn't talk much.
Neelima tortured Shreya a lot by making her do all the household chores even when Kavitha(the maid)was present.
Neelima:Shreya make a hot cup of tea for Arjun.
Shreya:Aunty,I am sorry I don't know to make tea.
But I know to make pancakes .
Neelima:What?You don't even know to make tea.
Neelima:Go wash the dishes .
Shreya washes the dishes.
Neelima:Wash properly.
See the stain is still there.
After completing this task ,make sure you clean the entire lobby and your room.
Shreya:Can I get Kavitha Aunty's help?
Kavitha:Yes mam ,I will help you .
Neelima:Let her do her duty.
Shreya's boldness has faded.
She has given up .
Shreya:OK I will do them by myself.
It's 9.30p.m
Shreya was busy all day.
Washing clothes,washing dishes,sweeping and mopping the mansion,watering the plants in the garden and learning to cook.
She didn't even have time to rest.
Arjun usually comes home late, around 10p.m.
He spends most of the time in the office to forget his sorrows.
In his free time he goes to Raksh's home.
Raksh:Arjun,are you coming to the pub tonight?
It's been too long.
Our boys miss you.
Arjun:Sure.
I wish I could forget everyone.
No Sara,No Shreya .
Just me .
Arjun gets 🥴 drunken.
Raksh drops him at home.
This is the first time Shreya sees Arjun drunken.
Shreya:Raksh don't spoil him.
Did he eat something?
Raksh:No,he has just drunken a lot.
He was so depressed for the past one month and I thought I could make him have some fun.
Shreya:No explanations needed.
I am already fed up.
Thank you for dropping him.
Arjun lays on the bed.
Shreya:Mr.Husband I am already too tired.
Arjun:Come on sleep Darling.
Shreya:Darling?
Whatever. I will go get something for you.
Shreya checks the fridge and the kitchen.
Shreya's mindvoice:There is nothing in this kitchen.
This foodie Aliya must have eaten everything.
I will make pancakes for Arjun.
I wish I was there at my home now along with my family.
It was Sara who taught me to cook pancakes.
I hate her but I also miss her.
Sissy come back.
Tears fall from Shreya's eyes.
She bakes the pancakes 🥞 😋.
She takes them to Arjun.
Arjun:Yummy,Thank you Sara.
I am glad you are back Sara.
He thinks of Shreya as Sara due to alcohol.
I am glad you are back my love Sara.
Let's punish you for leaving me.
Shreya gives a confused look.
Before she responds Arjun takes her lips 💋 into a passionate kiss.
There is a war going on between the two lips.
Shreya pushes him away .
He falls asleep.
The next morning
Arjun wakes up from the Hangover .
Arjun:Ouch,my head hurts.
But I had a sweet dream yesterday.
I kissed Sara in my dream and she even made me pancakes.
He notices Shreya sleeping peacefully.
He is shocked to see a plate with leftovers of pancakes.
Arjun 😳 realizes what had happened.
Shreya wakes up.
Shreya:Good morning,Mr.Husband.
Arjun:I am sorry Shreya,I was drunken yesterday.
And I thought you were Sara.
Shreya:You have to make amends for me to forgive you.
Arjun:OK,what should I do?
Shreya:Wash the plates.
Clean this room and help me in taking care of this household today.
Arjun:Sure,that's not a big deal.
But I don't think Mom will let me do that.
Shreya:Your mom is going to meet her sister today along with Aliya.
Arjun:Then ok.
Neelima:Shreya you must do all these works by yourself.
Clean my room.
The washing machine is not working.
It will be repaired tomorrow.
So Wash all the clothes by yourself.
Wash the vessels.
Sweep the entire Mansion.
Dust off the Library .
Mop the floors.
And especially today you are making Dinner for us.
I am also taking Kavitha along.
Arjun is not present when Neelima gives these tasks to Shreya.
Shreya:Aunty but isn't it too much?
Neelima:Whatever.
Take care.
They leave.
Shreya goes to her room.
She tells the tasks assigned by Neelima to Arjun.
Arjun:What?
This much.Why is mom doing like this?
Isn't Kavitha Aunty supposed to do all these with the help of other maids?
Shreya:She is torturing me everyday.
Your mother is trying to take revenge on me.
So now make amends.
Help me Arjun.
They wash the vessels.
Shreya's clothes are soaked.
Arjun:Go change ,otherwise you might catch cold 🥶.
Shreya:Not only me you will also catch cold 🥶.
She hugs Arjun.
His clothes also get wet.
Arjun:Shreya,what are you doing?
Shreya:Come on we took vows that we will always be together even in sickness .
She laughs.
Then they wash the clothes together.
Arjun:I am sorry Shreya,I didn't know mom was torturing you .
Shreya:I don't accept your apology.
Come on let us sweep and clean the mansion.
Arjun:Shreya look I made a dirty toy for you.
He has made a funny and dirty doll using dirty socks and broken things.
Shreya laughs.
Shreya:Thank you,Mr.Husband.
We have a lot of things to do come on.
They have almost completed doing chores except cooking Dinner.
Arjun:Shreya I guess you have turned into a great cook.
The pancakes were yummy.
How did you learn?
Shreya:I wish I could lie.
I don't want to remind you about her.
Arjun:Sara?
Shreya:Yes.
Arjun:First of all I am sorry about my behavior yesterday.
But now I realize you are better than her.
It doesn't mean I love you or accept you as my wife.
But you tolerate my family and also you never lie or cheat.
You are a great little girl .
He laughs.
Shreya:Thank you,Mr.Husband.
But I am not that little.
She giggles.
Shreya:Unfortunately I am not getting very well at cooking.
I am going to mess up .
Arjun:Don't worry Shreya ,I am very good at it.
I will help you dear.
Arjun and Shreya cook ❤ together.
Arjun:Shreya can you take the flour which is inside the shelf?
Shreya tries to take it.
But she can't reach it.
The flour falls on her and Arjun.
Arjun laughs.
Arjun:Messy girl,now we have extra work to do.
After preparing Dinner they decide to take a shower.
Shreya :Mr.Husband
I will shower first.
She enters the bathroom.
She tries to open the tap but she is unable to as her hands are covered with Flour.
Shreya:Mr.Husband can you help me open the tap?
Arjun:Yes,coming.
When Arjun enters the tap opens
Water falls on both of them.
Shreya hugs him again.
Arjun:Messy girl,stop hugging me often.
By mistake Arjun steps on the soap,slips and falls on Shreya.
Then he kisses her accidentally.
Shreya:Mr.Husband you are heavy.And you stop kissing 💋 me often.
