She was sleeping I once took a glance at her she has the most whiter skin tone, I have never seen any of her siblings with this much white skin tone, she was fairer than any other woman I have ever noticed ......I took a Pillow and fell on the couch the day was super tired.....When I was in sleep I heard someone mumbling...When I opened my eyes, I saw it was none other than Shreya....She was mumbling, she suddenly started shouting..

"Mom.....Mom........ Don't leave me.......Dad.......Dad............Nooooooooooooooo"

Cry.....................Hiccup

"Sahastr will u leave to brother Nooooooooooooooo please Nooooooooooooooo"

So, this people are her adopted parents ,i should have known it her skin tone differs ,but I won't mind I love her...When??What?? My subconscious questioned....Stupid up.i replied to my subconscious and then thought she is innocent and pure why I shouldn’t love her!!!!!!!

I went near her and hugged and said some soothing words into her ear, she hugged me tight and slept.......... Next day I woke up early and my girl was on me hugging me tight as a Pillow I like it.....I would like to wake up in this way daily..........I went in bathroom and had a quick shower.....And then changed into casuals and thought to wake her up as today she should make breakfast for everyone.......I went to her

"Shreya....Shreya...Please wake up"

"Shut up Maria I should have some sleep for today at least for now, now please leave my room Maria"

Huh....Who is this Maria ,maybe her maid

"Shreya wake up ...It's me Adityaa"

That's it she woke up suddenly.......

"Adityaa......Ummm.....Sorry” she said

"It’s ok now go or else you will be late....... Remember you should make the breakfast for everyone ......."

"Oh...Yeah thanks for waking me ,and also remembering me about the ritual thanks a lot"

With that she literally ran to bathroom....Now for this day my first work is to know more about her past and present I phoned Vikram one of my cousin who is a police officer to get as much as detail possible about her....

She came out wearing a pink sari with yellow border in south Indian style she looked beautiful......

"You look beautiful” I complemented and opened my laptop to do some work

"Thanks "she mumbled

And went down .................

Shreyas pov

I woke up late today ....Someone was waking me up ...I thought it is Maria and shouted at her .....But Adityaa replied

"Wake up Shreya it's me Adityaa"

That's it I got up and remembered last night I had a night mare which comes to me regularly and when ever night mare comes I will wake up late or end up sleep less.....Last night I remember some one hugging me and mumbling soothing words into my ears..And making me sleep....So it was Adityaa

I got out of my trance when Adityaa said to me that there is a ritual ,girl....I forgot that I am married ,I literally ran to bathroom not before taking my microcorder...And I called Mamta to know what is the situation there .....She said everything is managed by Augusto ....I am happy Augusto is there....And then I called Andria to know my business affairs at my company which is the head office in new York and ordered her to reschedule my meetings.....I cut the call and now took a glance at bathroom it was bigger and had a bathtub in the size minipool and as I have no time now I took a quick shower........And then walked into my walk in closet which has a door from bathroom and picked up a pink sari with yellow border and matched it with simple Kundan jewellery and yellow sandals when I went out Adityaa who was doing something in his laptop complemented me beautiful  and I thanked him and then walked out of the room

Urgh heck living in palace I don't know the way to kitchen. But thank goodness there was a maid, she seemed to be in her 50s I asked her name she told that her name is Renuka

"So Renuka di , from how many years are you working her??"

"Bahu Rani(daughter in law or queen of this house) I am working here since three decades"

"Oh"

And then soon we are in the kitchen and I asked her...

"Di (sister) you can call me by name my name is Shreya "

"Shreya you are so kind so what should I do for breakfast"

"Actually I thought I should cook the breakfast as I am a new bride in this house” I said

"Oh! That’s great"

"So Renuka di why has no one wake up yet"

"Oh!That shereya all the girls must be tired and rashi ma and Yuvraj Adityaa maybe be working"

"Oh!"I nodded

" So what do you think I should cook"I questioned

She giggled,"sheraya cook what you think you are good at"

Well,she doesn't know me I can cook anything to everything

Ok then let me plan I am a scientist and an entrepreneur so I do everything planned...

"Ok Renuka di at what time all of them will be down"

"Shreya maybe in an hour or so" she said

"Ok then do you go and set the table and take some rest I will do the rest"

"But...."she interrupted

"Nothing to worry I will manage"

She nodded and went out of the kitchen

Now I started to rewind the incidents on marriage day and shikhas words on everyone's likes and dislikes ,then I remembered this family s love for gulab jamun all of this family love gulab jamun because I absorbed mil saying to mom that gulab jamun should exist in menu and then I heard from shikhas words that Adityaa likes French toast and mil and girls like Kashmiri variety momos and then I saw swara,kranti And Vikram liking upma .So, I have planned

Breakfast plan: time present:45 minutes

Main dishes:upma,momos(15 minutes)

Side dish:french toast and chesse balls(I like and make them good so let them taste my cheese balls too)(5_10 minutes)

Desert: gulab jamun(10 minutes)

Drink: orange juice (5 minus)

Ready get set gooooooooo

I started making upma and momos ,thank God the stove was a four burner and I boiled water with sugar on other side for gulab jamun and upma which is a very easy south Indian dish was ready in 5 minutes and I put in serving bowl and put the French bread on the toaster and baked some cheese balls in mean time the dough for momos was ready and I filled them with curry and fried them and now momos are ready, now the sugar syrup for gulab jamun was ready, the French toast is ready and I started making small jamun and fried them in oil and put them in syrup and now gulab jamun is ready, in mean time the microwave tinged saying chesse balls are ready and now only one dish remains orange juice I searched for oranges and peeled and juiced them with the help of food processor and now I have remaining five minutes more so I fired the dry fruits and put them on upma as well as gulab jamun...Thanks goddess Annapurna for helping me to fulfill my job and then I took all the samples for the taste to the mandir inside the palace and offered to God and after puja(a Indian prayer for God)I returned to kitchen now I have 5 minutes more as I have cooked in 30 minutes and 10 minutes for prayer and all .So,I arranged the dishes on the table....

When I finished I heard the footsteps and raised my head to see my mother in law and my husband discussing something and walking towards the kitchen.....My husband looked at me and the table.. Whereas my MIL was shocked ....

"Shereya you made all these even without any maids help that to in half an hour" Renuka di said making my hubby and MIL more shocked just nodded

"Beta(daughter) you are awesome now let's go and offer your food to goddess in mandir..."before she could complete I cut of her words

"Ma(mom) I have offered it to goddess and even completed my puja” now my mil was more shocked ,that's common when dealing with riya

"I am happy that I have found you as my daughter in law" she said and ordered Renuka to call all the others for breakfast

"So beta let's see what you have made for breakfast upma,momos,french toast, cheese balls, gulab jamun and orange juice...Wow beta who told you our likes and dislikes” she asked

"Oh...That ..I sorted out myself according to your behaviors"

"What??" Both my hubby and my mil said in unison

"I have done my masters in psychology" I completed

"I am so happy to have a talented and intellectual Dil (daughter in law) as you" my mil said

"I am happy too” my hubby said winking at me

All others entered and all were shocked to see but sandhi was nowhere to be seen ......

Everyone took their places my mil as the head of the table my hubby on her left followed by Vikram, kranti,swara,jai,ram and I heard Shikha left to her in law's house but to my amusement Shikha came with all her in law's and her husband Sanjay and her kid Sanskriti ....All sat in their place

"So let's see how it tastes nayi bahu( new Dil) a breakfast" my mil stated and all started to eat ,I was nervous but in minutes all the food was empty

Vikram ,jai and ram said in unison,"bhabhi (sil) for this food I will give anything"

"Awesome". Shikhas in law samanya aunt and shermish uncle said.

"My bro is really lucky to have you dear" said Shikha

My mil came and hugged me and said, " u r the light of the family"

And she made me sit beside my hubby and feed me that's it tears started rolling down my eyes ... Noticing my emotions my hubby caught my hands in his....How lucky am I to have this people as my family....And then suddenly sandhi ran to the kitchen

"Ma....Ma.....Forbes has released the places of most famous , powerful and reputed woman in this world ,this time you got a second place ma" said sandhi

"Who is on the first place??"I and mil asked in unison everyone looked at me

"Its the youngest girl, who is 25 year old, her name is sakhi Prajapathi. CEO of msl group of industries" I am cloud nine I knew I would do it

"Show her photo" I was nervous like hell ,I have ordered Emily not to give my photos to magazine but I was nervous what if Forbes somehow got my picture....God please help me

"The amusing thing is that no one has seen her yet but are inspired by her hard work ,she has created her own empire at such an young age” said sandhi

"Yeah with many hardships on the way” my tongue slipped now everyone's gaze was on me

"I.....I...Mean......She...She...Should have had many struggles on her way” I stammered

"Yes "my mil agreed and the next minute my phone rang oh ! God I am done today, I lifted the call it was professor simmen

"Congratulations dear I am happy for you " I heard from other everyone on the table was looking at me

"Thanks sameena,u should have come to my marriage ,ok bye call u later" with that I cut the call ....God

And then everyone gave me gifts as  Shagun for making breakfast

And little Sanskriti came to me and gave me a chocolate,"r u my ...jachi(chachi-aunt)"

"Yes dear,and thanks for chocolate I love chocolates",

"Really !!!Mumma see jachi likes my gift than yours” she said and everyone laughed

And my mil cleared her throat and said,"Adityaa u r not gonna attend office for three days from now u should spend your time with Ur wife"

"Ok mom"he agreed without hesitation and then it clicked he was still holding my hand ,every one dispersed and I reached our room and now god how should I practice?????

Then Adityaa entered the room ,I went near the mirror and started removing my jewellery,I was struggling to remove my Kundan necklace which stuck in the threads of my blouse....And I felt his hands undoing the necklace....He brushed his hands on my bare back and soon he came closer to me.....The necklace was loosened and it fell off my neck but I was dumbstruck......His one hand was cupping my back and his one hand trailed off my curves and soon he sneaked his arms down my sari on my bare waist....Soon his hand were replaced by his lips..He kissed on my back and his lips soon reached my ear lobe,he bit it and sucked it slowly,I moaned everything is new for me this sensation,then he mumbled

"Your food was delicious but you know dear this is more delicious than that" he cooed in my ear

And we moved apart with a knock on the door I composed my self and moved towards the door
