Mrunali Rathore

The next morning I woke up next to my husband like always. He was holding me so tightly that I almost couldn't move. "Abhi wake up it's morning. Don't you want to go for morning exercise?" I said caressing his face.

"Hm. Five minutes." He said and nodding I keep caressing his hair. And five minutes later I again wake him up but looks like Mr. Rathore is not in the mood to get up today. I was about to wake him again when my phone rings.

I took it from the side table to see it was Abhimanyu and picked it up. "Hello Abhimanyu?" I said and suddenly Abhiraaj was up and is looking at me. "Yeah sorry for calling you this early. Were you sleeping?" Abhimanyu asked.

"No it's ok. I just woke up." I replied playing with Abhi's hair who is listening to us with focus. "Oh ok. I just wanted to inform that today we will be going to factory so meet me in my cabin directly." Abhimanyu said. "Ok I'll meet you there with Sana." I said.

"Very well. And sorry for disturbing." Abhimanyu said. "It's ok. Bye." I said and saying a bye he hang up. "What was he saying?" Abhi asked looking at me with annoyed expression?

"He was just telling me to come to his cabin we will be going to factory. You know I really love making jewelleries! And going to factory is so amazing! There so many different types of stones. Diamond, sapphire, pearl and many more." I said excitedly.

"You chose this job so you can steal some stones right?" He said playfully and I gasped. "How do you know?" I replied playfully as well. "I know girls. They like these diamond and all." He said laying his head on my stomach as I'm sitting with my back against the hard board.

"Are you not planning on going for morning exercise today?" I asked. "Not in the mood." He replied. "You look tired. Did something happened?" I asked again. "Hm. Some work." He said. "Well don't work too much or you'll get old soon." I said playfully.

"So what? Girls will still drool over me because I'll look handsome even when I'll be old." He said arrogantly and I shake my head. We talk for atleast an hour before going to get ready for the day.

I was about to wear a suit but then I remembered bhabhi's words that bua is old fashioned and how we have to wear saree. So I quickly took out a beautiful floral saree with pink blouse and wear it before drying my hair and doing no-makeup look.

I was wearing my earrings when Abhiraaj came. I give him a smile and then combed my hair. "You look really beautiful in saree." He said hugging me from behind and I smile. "Thank you." I said and kissed his cheek.

"I'm really nervous Abhi about bua ji." I said. "Don't be. You don't have to worry about anything. I'm with you. The whole family is with you." He said and I sighed then nodded. We then went downstairs. I started making breakfast for everyone and just then I hear the honk of the car.

"Oh my God! The devil is here. Save us!" Nikhil said coming inside the kitchen and I chuckled. "Why aren't you going out to greet them?" I asked. "No. I'll be with my bhabhi and help you." He said. "But I don't need any help." I said. "I'll still help!" He said and I laughed.

We stayed in the kitchen, I made breakfast while Nikhil helped me with small things before maa called us. Nikhil groaned and I pat his head before we both went out. I saw four people sitting on the couch. Three ladies and one guy.

"Mrunali is here! Come beta take blessings from your bua." Maa said and smiling I went to them and took blessings from bua ji.

"Hm. Khush raho. Dekhne mein toh sundar hai bahu Amrita. Baaki ghar ke kaamo mein aachi hai ki abhi bhi tumhe aur Nilima ko hee kaam karna padta hai." Bua ji said and I shift uncomfortably.

(Hm. Be happy. Your daughter-in-law is beautiful Amrita. Is she good in household work or you and Nilima still have to do it?)

"Nahi nahi didi Mrunali sab kaam mein bahut aachi hai. Aur vaise bhi meri dono bahu ghar ke kaam mein bahut aachi hai vo toh abhi Mihika pregnant hai toh usse humne kaam karne se mana kiya hai." Maa said proudly.

(No no Mrunali is good in every work. And both my daughter-in-laws are good at household chores that Mihika is pregnant now so we told her not to work.)

"Oh really! But still I think my Trisha is more better with Abhiraaj." Bua ji and a pang of jealousy hit me. "You said the same thing after Mihika bhabhi and Reyansh bhai's wedding bua." Nikhil said with a sickly sweet smile causing me to control my smile.

"Don't have to say much! I'm just saying what is truth!" Bua ji said and Nikhil look here and there. "Here Mrunali she is Riya, beside her is Rishi and beside him is Trisha." Chotti maa introduced and I gave them a smile. Though I didn't like the way Rishi look me up and down.

"Have to say bhabhi is beautiful." Rishi said smirking at me and I gave him a faint smile. "Of course she is My Wife!" Abhiraaj said and I internally smiled. "Let's go and have breakfast didi. Everyone." Maa said and all stand up to leave for breakfast.

I serve everyone and was about to sit beside my husband but my seat was already taken by Trisha, who is now smirking at me. Two can play the game. Smiling I went towards Abhi. "Abhi can I sit here today?" I asked with a smile.

"Sure." He said standing up and sitting on the next chair. I smirked internally before taking the seat where Abhi was and give a fake smile to Trisha, who now glared at me. Nikhil, Khushi, bhai and bhabhi gave me proud looks and thumbs up and I returned their smile.

From under the table I felt his hand holding mine and squeezing it but I take it back. He gave me a disapproving look but I ignored it. Who told him to let her sit beside him? We continued with the breakfast but this time without all the fun we usually do.

After breakfast I got my bag and was ready to leave when bua ji stopped me. "Bahu goes to work too? Amrita you should've gotten a daughter-in-law who doesn't work. What will people think?" Bua ji said and I frowned.

"They will think that my wife is able to walk shoulder to shoulder with me." He came from behind me and said making me smile. "But Abhi beta daughter-in-law should not work. They should stay at home and do house work." Bua ji said.

"But what's so wrong about working? I mean our parents spend their money in our studies for what? To stay at home and do household chores?" I said and bua ji looked hella angry while Nikhil and Khushi silently clapped and others nodded.

"I see you've got sly daughter-in-laws. First and second both are same." Bua ji said and leave. I share a look with bhabhi and we both smile. "Mrunali you were amazing just now!" Bhabhi said and I smile. "That was great Mrunali! Good job. Keep it up." Bhai said.

"Ok we are getting late. Let's get going." He said from behind and we all leave for our respective works. In the car I was smiling for standing up for myself. This is the first time I stand up for myself and I'm happy about it.

"Why are you smiling?" He asked. "Just because." I said. "Why are angry at me? She sat beside me." He said. "And you let her? You could've atleast say that it was my seat or simply move away." I said huffing. "Uff! The car is filled with smell of jealousy." He said and I glared at him.

"You know Mrunali when you glare you don't look scary at all. Infact you look cute." He said and I groaned causing him to laugh. "I'm telling you stay away from her." I said. "For your kind information I don't go to her she comes to me." He said. "Whatever. Just stay away." I said huffing and look out.

We soon arrived at my company and kissing him goodbye I went outside. "Ohho saree and all Mrunali?" Sana asked as I entered the cabin. "Don't ask!" I said sitting on my chair. "Why? What happened?" Sana asked and I told her everything and she was laughing. Can you believe it?

"Oh my God this bua ji seems like Mrs. Chauhan." Sana said and I gave her a look. "I'm not wrong! You know it too." Sana said and I ignored it. "Oh yeah! Abhimanyu said to come to his office I forgot to tell you. Let's go!" I said standing up and we both leave.

After meeting Abhimanyu, three of us leave for the factory. We went there and look at the new jewelleries we gave and also made some by ourselves. In between I got his message saying that he won't be able to pick me today and I messaged him back that Sana will drop me.

When we were done with work we leave for home. Sana dropped me home and hugging her bye I get off the car only to meet with Khushi outside the house. "What happened to you?" I asked. "Bua ji happened! Who else?" Khushi said rolling her eyes.

"What did bua ji do now?" I asked. "She brought marriage proposals for me and Nikhil bhai! Like are you serious? Nikhil doesn't know or he will flip!" Khushi said. "Offo! Don't worry nobody at house will let it happen let's go in now." I said. "I don't want to." She said.

"Uff let's go! Get up!" I said making her stand and went inside where bua ji was showing photos to mom. Rishi and Riya beside them and Trisha nowhere to be seen. I wonder where she is?

Khushi without saying or doing anything leave inside and I greeted everyone before leaving for my room as well only to see Trisha sitting on my bed holding my husband's photo and staring at it lovingly. What the fuck?

"What are you doing in our room?" I asked. "Oh! Was just looking around!" She said smirking. "Is this a park or something? Leave!" I said. "This is Abhiraaj's room I can do whatever I want." She said. "I'm Abhi's wife which means this is my room as well! Leave!" I said snatching the photo from her hand.

"Whatever!" Trisha said and leave. Bitch! I then put Abhi's photo back and and went to change into a simple saree and went downstairs to make dinner. Trisha glared at me and I glared back. After the dinner was done I placed it on the dining table.

Everyone sit down to have it and I served all before sitting only to be stopped by bua ji. "You will eat before your husband? Are you crazy?" Bua ji ji said. "I ate before him only." I said. "That's very shameful! You should eat only after your husband." Bua ji yelled.

"But-" "No buts! Eat after Abhiraaj come and eat." Bua ji said cutting me off. I was about to protest but Maa and chotti maa gave me a look that said 'do it or she will make a ruckus' so I just nodded and went to our room.

Soon Khushi, bhabhi, bhai and Nikhil came to my room as well. "Bua ji is too much! Who does she think she is? Ordering us in our own house." Khushi said. "Don't worry Mrunali same happened to me when I first got here after marriage." Bhabhi said.

"Why is she like this though?" I asked. "God knows! Such irritating human." Nikhil said and laid his head on my lap. "Our whole family is so open minded and kind I don't know where bua ji got all these rules and all that from." Bhai said.

"Must be from her husband's family." Khushi said and we all laughed. We then talked a little more about bua ji and work before we heard Abhi's car sound. He is finally here! I was damn hungry.

We all went downstairs. And let me tell the scene in front of me made me break a vase in someone's head. In front of me the one and only Trisha was hugging my husband!

Third Person's POV

Mrunali glared hard at Abhiraaj and Trisha while the others looked at them in shock then at Mrunali. "Abhi!" Mrunali yelled and Abhiraaj's head snapped towards his angry looking wife. He, who was pushing Trisha from the start gave her a hard push causing her to back away.

But Trisha being Trisha didn't mind and hold his hand. "I was waiting for you Abhi." Trisha said and Abhiraaj freed his hand before saying coldly. "You don't need to. My wife is there to wait for me." With that he marched to Mrunali making all the younger clan cheer.

"Good one Abhiraaj!" Mihika said. "Proud of you bro!" Reyansh said and Abhiraaj nodded before turning to Mrunali. "Let's go?" He asked and Mrunali nodded. "I'll get the food. You go and change." Mrunali said and Abhiraaj went upstairs to his room.

"And you! Stay away from my husband!" Mrunali said went to the kitchen while ignoring Trisha others went to their rooms. Trisha stomped her foot and leave as well. Mrunali then took her and Abhiraaj's food to their room where Abhiraaj was already in his home clothes.

"Two plates? You didn't ate?" Abhiraaj asked. "Your bua ji didn't let me because according to her it's shameful if I eat before my husband." Mrunali said sitting in front of him. "That's nonsense!" Abhiraaj said and Mrunali just shake her head before giving him his plate.

Both ate together while talking about their day. Or more like Mrunali telling him about everything she did in the factory and about her work. Abhiraaj just listened to her with a small smile on his lips. After their dinner Mrunali put the plates in the kitchen before sleeping, joined by her husband.
