chapter 20

Mohini: akash I hope you don't mind me sending your would be wife to the kitchen to get me some coffee?

Arnav: why would he mind ma,even my wife does it for his mother when we are at home and now his would be wife can do it for my mother as well , right akash?

Akash: why would I refuse bhai after all we are all family and it is the duty of a daughter in law to serve the elders.

Arnav: that's what I like about you akash, you are very understanding and are very nice and shy too and payal is lucky to get a guy like  you.

Mannoroma: HHBB my son is one in a million and i hope his wife will be one in a billion but i gues we have to accept the one in a hundred.

Mohini: your right but akash has made his Choice and you will need to accept it, you want his happiness after all mano.

Payal came back with Mohini's coffee and she handed it to her and Mohini thanked her and tested it but she started coughing and khushi parted he back.

Khushi: are you okay ma?

Mohini: payal don't you know how to make a coffee?

Payal looked dawn and nodded a no.

Mohini: if you do not know how to make a coffee then what is the use of you getting married then? if you cannot prepare a common coffee are you expecting a maid to make coffee for your husband as well after marriage.

Buaji: sorry Mohini but why are you saying such things? And why are you insulting her.

Mohini: madhumati what do you expect me to say, okay if you feel I have insulted your daughter then test this coffee and tell me how it test and if you can serve this to a guest.

With confidence buaji tested the coffee and spit it out of her mouth because it tested horrible and she used warm water to prepare it.

Buaji: sorry Mohini, she made a mistake.

Mohini: did you not teach her anything at all madhumati, first she does not know how to cook and secondly she does not know how to prepare coffee and look at khushi she knows how to cook and make the best coffee but I wander why payal does not know how to do all those things which her sister does very well. at least you know how to clean right payal?

Payal looked dawn again

Mohini: oh God, do you expect a maid to also clean your room too?

Payal: no aunty

Mohini: madhumati just imagine we have guest or dev brings home his business associates and they ask to be served coffee, will they drink this rubbish.

Buaji: don't worry about that Mohini, she will learn.

Sakshi was now getting irritated by Mohini's consent complains about payal and she did not like it.

Sakshi: Mohini there is no need to taunt the poor girl and her family, I know she will learn all this after marriage, right payal.

Payal smiled and nodded her head.

Mohini: can I ask you something sakshi?

Sakshi: yes

Mohini: have you also learned to clean your room after marriage and do you allow a maid to clean your room or do you clean it yourself? And if I am not mistaken yesterday I saw a maid leaving your room and even dev was there in the room while she was cleaning and I am saying this because we know dev and you don't want a repeat of the past right.

Sakshi looked and Mohini and widened her eyes and she looked at dev who looked away and not meeting her in the eyes.

Sakshi: what is she saying dev? And I had thought you had left for work when I sent pooja to our room to clean it.
