Ishq Diyan Khairan Mangiyaan!!!

Part 17

Everyone was present on the dining table, while Gauri and Anika served breakfast.

D: Gauri putar, apni pehli rasoi ke liye tum ne kya bnaya hai, pehle woh do na humain, ye to hum roz khate hi rehte hain.

R: Haan, Gauri Bhabhi, mujhe bhi aap ke haath ka bana hua khana khana hai... But I just hope aap ka Anika Bhabhi jaisa na ho.

Everyone smiled at his comment, while Anika glared at him.

A: Ae, kya matlab hai tumhara? Main bura banati hoon?

R faking: Are nahi nahi Bhabhi, main to keh raha tha ke aap jaisa khana koi bana hi nahi sakta itna unique jo hota hai.

A: Hmm phir theek hai.

Anika got busy with serving her husband, while Rudra just winked at Gauri,, who smiled at her dewar's antics.

J: Gauri jao tum le ke aao, yeh to laga hi rahe ga.

G: Ji.

Gauri left and came back with a bowl of Kheer. She served everyone.

D smiling: Bohut maze ki bani hai putar.

Daadi caressing her head gave her some money.

D: Ye rakh lo, shagun hai.

G hesitating: Daadi main yeh..

D: Shagun ko mana nahi karte beta.

Gauri smiled and and took the money. This was all witnessed by Om who was smiling on the way his wife got attached with his family and made her place in their hearts. Gauri looked at him for few seconds who just smiled assuring her.

J: Sach main Gauri maza aa gaya aisi kheer kha ke, koi special recipe hai kya?

G: Thank you Aunty, yeh Mama ne sikhayi thi mujhe.

J: Yeh Aunty kon hai yahan? Main tumhari bhi Maa hoon bilkul waise hi jaise Om ki.

Gauri smiled while her eyes welled up.

G nodding: Maaji

Jhanvi also gave her shagun. Everyone appreciated her cooking, except Om and Tej. Om was busy looking at everyone's reactions and Gauri, hoping everything goes fine. While Tej who seemed to be unaffected, was busy on his phone. Gauri looked at Tej, hoping to get same appreciation from him as well, but the kheer on his plate was untouched. Her smile vanished away as she looks at him and then towards Om, who was not sure what to do. Everyone sensed the seriousness as looked towards the duo, while Daadi being the eldest spoke.

D: Tej

He just looked at her.

D: Bahu ne pehli baar kuch bnaya hai, kha ke to bata kaisa hai.

T: Maa, mera mann nahi hai, aur meri meeting bhi hai to main chalta hoon.

O sternly: Mr. Oberoi, agar aap thoda sa chakh lenge to kuch ho nahi jayega.

T: Tameez se baat karo, baap hoon tumhara.

O: Sun ke acha laga ke aap ko yaad hai aap ke bete bhi hain.

G: Omkaraji rehne dijiye, Uncle ka dil nahi hai to koi baat nahi.

Om looks at her defeated. Tej was surprised to see her taking his side in front of her husband. He didn't know why but he felt like tasting the dish she had prepared. Keeping his stern face, he took the spoon of kheer to have taste of it, while all look at him shocked.

T not looking at her, sternly: Hmm, achi hai... Yeh lo. (handing her the shagun)

He leaves still with a stern face. Everyone smiles, except Om who was still in a shock of what just happened. Gauri also joined everyone on the table. She sat next to Om, witnessing him tasting kheer, she looked at him hoping to get a compliment from him as well but, was disappointed to see him lost. There was some kind of sadness in his eyes. This is going to take a while, for him to accept her, obviously he cannot accept her full hearted when she is pregnant from...she don't even wanna think about that rascal. She looked at her plate and tried to eat, but her thoughts were still busy thinking about her fate and him. Om who was unaware of her inner turmoil was busy in his own thoughts. Tasting the kheer, only one thought came in his mind...Nisha.
