ShraMan FF - There's No One Like You

Chapter 40-Chicken In The Kitchen

Suman-

He unhooks my saree's pallu and slides me on the bed, I take the bedsheet over and doze off to sleep with him and doing a lot more.......

The next morning I get up and see Shravan sleeping beside me smiling like a happy soul, I re-drape the saree and go to the washroom to refresh still recollecting the romantic night we spent a few hours back, this made me blush even harder. Today was a Sunday so it was time to chill out for the rest of the day, I wore the usual dress I wear at home and leave towards the kitchen to make tea for Shravan because I am sure everyone must be awake, it was 9am that time. I go down and see Preeti having apples sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper, Papa going through the newspaper as well, and yes even lalaji, one had the Mirror, the other had the main paper and the other had Delhi Times.. I go towards the kitchen and I see Pushkar,Ma and chachi, I was amazed by his presence, "pushkar, what are you doing in the kitchen?"

"kya batau Sumo, I am doing some hardwork for my dear wife, I am making kheer for her"

"you could have told me , or at least call me, I could have made for her!"

"Di, let him make, I want to have kheer made by Pushkar himself and that's final! Waise bhi aapki shaadi kal hi hui, how could he go and disturb you two?"

"right Preeti, najane Bhaiya aur Sumo kya karne mein busy hote?" he says looking at me and then behind me, I see Shravan standing there, he was blushing more than me while the rest giggled seeing us

"shut up Pushkar! Kuch bhi kahi bhi bol deta hai! Better you concentrate on your kheer or else Preeti will have to eat the "world's most horrible kheer!""

I go and make tea, and bring for all of them, "kya baat hai aaj sab paper padh rahe hai?"

"Suman, it is a usual habit for me and bhaisahb, but today even Preeti joined in!"

"ya, I noticed that too, Preeti since when you started being so aware about the world?"

"just like that, but trust me the main paper sucks, it has all politics in it!"

"Ma , chachi now let Pushkar make the kheer on his own and come , have tea!" they come to drink tea.

"Preeti, now you should take extra care for yourself, this is the last 3 months for your baby!" said Chachi

"I know Ma! Isliye toh aapke bête se kheer banwa rahi hu! Taki aapka pota swasth and tandurast ho!"

"yeh hui na baat!" said lalaji, while all of us laughed, well talking of the "pota" of the house Ma asked, "when are you two giving us good news?" I and Shravan exchange glances like never before, and blushed like tomatoes, Shravan replied,

"not anytime sooner Ma! You know we've just starting to settle in our businesses, if you talk practically, rest you can ask Sumo!" yes he has to divert all such things to me..

"a mother can't talk practically and you know that! Sumo, do you plan the same?"

"yes Ma, we two have decided not to bring a new member to the world so soon! I have started earning good profits from PCT since a few months, Shravan is still settling with his new firm so let's just enjoy how things are!"

"oh it means we have to wait....!" Said Ma.

"no problem, you 2 have many other things to conquer in life, 1st achieve that!" said Papa.

After chit-chatting for some more time, we head our ways back to our rooms, having joint families is the best thing one could ever have.
