The elders, along with Mythili, were all settled for dinner when Vidharth walked downstairs after freshening up. He went straight towards his angel, kissed her cheek, and then sat down at the table.
Mythili glanced at the elders to see them engaged in their conversation. Seizing the opportunity, Vidharth cupped her cheek before placing a quick kiss at the corner of her lips and whispered
"I love you, Angel"
Mythili shot him a glare, a slight blush creeping onto her face.
"Batameez."
"Tch... abhi to Batameezi shuru bhi nahi ki hai, you want me to start?... hmm tell me"
("tch... this is just the beginning of my mischief.")
He whispered to her. She looked at him angrily before turning away.
"Aaj kisne khana banaya hai?" Karthik asked, taking his seat.
("Who cooked today's dinner?")
"Maine!" Vardhan said proudly, pointing to himself.
("I did!")
"Main apna khana order kar raha hoon, aur kisi ko karna hai?" Karthik said, getting up from his seat
("I'm ordering my food, anyone else want to order?")
Ashwin, who had just arrived, nudged Karthik's shoulder and made him sit back down, whispering,
"You want me to tell Bade Papa about what you did today?"
"No!" Karthik denied loudly, looking at Ashwin in shock.
"Kya hua?" asked Rudra, raising an eyebrow.
("What happened?")
Karthik gave Ashwin a pleading look, who smirked slightly before answering Rudra
"Nothing, Bade Papa. I was just telling Karthik if he didn't behave, I'd tell Adheer how he acted with Baba Sa."
"Woh to tumhe karna hi chahiye, yeh shaitan ladka mujhe shanti se jeene nahi deta. Aaj dopahar ko soch raha tha, so jaoon, pata nahi kab woh aaya aur nikal gaya, air conditioner band kar diya."
Vardhan said, glaring at Karthik, who gave him a tight-lipped smile.
("You should have done that. This mischievous boy doesn't let me live in peace. Today afternoon, I was thinking of taking a nap, but I don't know when he came in and left after switching off the air conditioner.")
Dada Sa shook his head, knowing Karthik was the most troublesome child in the Rathod family. Rudra shot him a glare.
"Kitni baar bola hai, mere bhai ko pareshan mat kiya kar."
("How many times have I told you, don't trouble my brother?")
"Par Baba Sa, unhone bhi to subah mujhe garmi mein sone ke liye chhod diya tha. I was about to die in sweat"
Karthik defended himself.
("But baba sa, he left me to sleep in the heat this morning.")
"Woh tujhe apni sapno ki duniya se jagane ke liye kiya tha, varna Bhai Sa aake tujhe jagate, to tu abhi yahan muh fula ke baitha hota, woh bhi ek haath gal par."
Vardhan said, putting Karthik's palm on his cheek. Karthik moved his hand away and sat quietly.
("i did that to wake you from your dream world, otherwise Bhai Sa would've come and woken you up, and you'd still be sitting here sulking with your cheek in his hand.")
Karthik just shrugged, not minding much since this was his daily routine. Without this, his life wouldn't run.
"Karthik, if you are placing an order, then one rasmalai for me."
Mythili said, showing two fingers, but immediately turning it into one when Vidharth glanced at her.
"He isn't placing any order, Angel. You focus on having your dinner properly... Ashwin, where is he?"
Vidharth said, his tone cold.
