Dev's POV:

I could see rain was pouring non stop. I had a strong urge of going to Kapoor Villa and carry her back into the guest house here.

But I couldn't!!!

Reason!!! What shall I tell Daadi and her family 😒

Midnight I sneaked in and took my wife along!!!

But then again 😏 Big deal!!!

She's my wife 😍

God😍she agreed💞💞💞💞

She's given it a nod 🙈

Ok!!! I need to talk to Daadi tomorrow first thing in morning to get her here or I must shift there...

Either way I want us to be together ❤️❤️❤️

I was so so excited for tomorrow morning.

I quickly went to bed lied down...

But sleep was far far away...

Then I convinced my heart...

Earlier I sleep..
Earlier the night passes
Earlier the morning would happen

😜

I know this was a stupid thought but was enought convincing for me to close my eyes...

But her beautiful face was coming infront of my eyes😍

'Just one night more Wify❤️' I convinced the horses running on my mind and drifted to sleep!!!

Next day morning I got up for a loud shrill sound

I woke up at once and saw it was Daadi...

I ran thinking something happened to her only to see a funny scene of a lot of flour on Archit's head and a fuming pooja.

Daadi was scared to see them like that...then started laughing.

Soon I noticed a full house.

That's when I realised my friends stayed here last night.

Daadi was interrogating Archit and Pooja to which Archit confessed that he was trying to help Pooja in making sweets

Awww they are Cutest 😍

Hey!!! But why sweets? That too in guest house 🤔

Soon I saw the house looked all decorated...my friends and family were busy doing one or the other thing.

I was surprised. What's happening?

While Daadi was smiling. She handed me a kurta pajama.

'She told me go... have bath and come down in next 30 mins'

I wondered what was happening.

I quickly went upstairs had a good shower while I felt immense pain in my shoulder.

I winced.

I couldn't wear the Kurta pajama daadi told me to. It required me lift my hand.

I had a shower and came to my room. While I heard a knock...

Vihaan came in asking why am I still bit ready.
I told him I can't wear the Kurta.

So I simply wore a pant and a simple shirt.

That was pretty easier than lifting my hands.

Slowly I walked down the staircase and was shocked to see there was a Pooja organized.

I have never seen this environment in our house except anything auspicious. Soon Daadi looked at questioning why wasn't I wearing the kurta pajama. I lied to her saying that I broke it's button abd it was a size smaller.

Although she didn't buy it completely but she wasn't much bothered.

She smiled saying ...

'Go sit there'

I was surprised because Daadi Knows I don't believe in all this.

But she shot me a glare and I went and sat there quietly.

In no time I was accompanied by a certain someone.

I turned my gaze and there she was sitting at the pooja.

She was wearing a pink lehenga...

She looked like a blooming pink rose...

And i had lost my mind 🙈❤️

Does God mind if I kiss my wife before the pooja begins

Shagun ke liye
(For good luck)

She suddenly saw me once and put her head down.

She was so shy...so lovable ❤️

I kept looking at her. Suddenly it striked me what's happening.

I looked at Daadi she was standing with Veena Daadi. They both gave me a thumbs up and winking at me.

I smiled and blushed also understood. News has reached them 🙈

Glad I didn't have to take Extra efforts 😜

Opposite to us I saw her Daadu, parents, Vihaan, Dhruv-Ahaana with our gang and an absolutely unexpected person Mr Hrishikesh Kapoor.

My smile was gone seeing him here.

I went all serious. While I felt her hand on my hand with pleading eyes.

I nodded and sat throughout the pooja.

Soon pooja finished and she and I were made to sit on a sofa.

I wondered what was happening.

Daadi came closer to me and said in my ears...

'I want to have a mudikhai ritual of my daughter in law...you can't keep her hiding from me once you both got naughty and ahhem ahhem' she laughed

My eyes almost popped out of sockets 😳

I saw she was flushed totally standing next to me.

My friends starred laughing...

I passed them a glare to which they pointed out Vihaan...

Who stood there like a mini version of my devilish nature 😈

I wanted to punch him in his face for announcing this news to the world overnight...

Specially to Daadi.

Daadi ka chamcha 😏

Although she looked like a big pink cupcake I would want to swallow right away 😍🤤

Yeah...I'm nuts!!!

In no time...she was made to sit next on a sofa... With a transparent dupatta on her head... covering her face...

She looked so so beautiful 😍

I was falling over and over again in love with her.

Her shining face... beautiful long eyelashes... Her thick eyebrows... that thin single maang tika.

How can someone look so surreal 💓

My heart pumped more and more blood when each person lifted her veil and I had her short glimpses ufff!!! Then they gave gifts to her as small token of love ❤️

But the next person who stepped forward was unwanted!

I quickly took a step while Daadi held my hand...

'You promised me he wont' I was cut in between by Daadi...

'Its not Kapoor Villa... and you may deny but he is your father. Please cub. ' she pressed my hand lightly.

I breathed hard and sat in my place.

He gifted her an exclusive diamond set. But Ishaani denied it.

'Uncle I only need your blessings... please take this back...'

but he forcefully kept it Next to her.

He kept his hand on her head.

Next he came near me and told...

'I know you won't accept anything from me... I deserve it...it's fine. But this one is your mom's gift to me post marriage. Take it.'

He said and put a gold chain in my neck. I couldn't deny! Anything about mom is precious no priceless to me!!!

I quietly took it. He tried to keep his hand on my head while I stood up in one jerk.

He understood I didn't want it.

I saw his eyes going misty. He left immediately.

Although my heart felt bad my soul could never forget he was the reason for my mom's death!

I hated the sight of that man.

Vihaan noticed the atmosphere to be heavy and quickly started pulling us up for pictures while I looked at Daadi and said...

'But your gift is still pending'

I felt like my childhood days when I would run to Daadi asked chocolates although I received them from Maa or Daadu.

Daadi smiled and pushed me upon Ishaani.
.

I almost crashed into her😳

'Arent you happy with my gift...' she said while Ishaani's face was all flushed. I was blushing hard and scratching my head.

But Daadi looks like really had a gift for us.

'Well looks like my genius grandson didn't understand what the pooja was for...

Let me explain...

Ofcourse it's to bless you both a prosperous, abundantly fertile marriage my babies
.. make me and Veena great grandmother's soon'

Ishaani was looking like a red tomato now luckily she still had the veil to cover her... I
...

I wanted some one to give me a veil too 🙈🙈🙈 my Daadi is over emotional when she blesses 🙈

Oh god!!!

I was grinning like a fool while everyone was laughing there.

Vihaan whistled at this...

Ye pakka joote khayega mujhse 👞
(He'll definitely be greeted by my shoes today)

Ok ok...
Let me complete...Daadi calmed down the overexcited crowd...

'This was not just a pooja to bless you both.... It's also to bless your new house. Your housewarming ☺️'

Daadi said...

I was shocked. I looked into Ishaani's face which also had s lot of questions.

Soon Daadi gifted me a frame like thing which was gift wrapped.

I opened it and was shocked.

It was a name plate which had...

Ishaani-Dev

I was shocked on seeing it.

Daadi announced...

'I gift you both your new nest my babies ❤️'

I was shocked.

Before I could say anything... Ishaani said it...

'Im not leaving Kapoor Villa!'

I smiled at the thought that just in one night that villa turned into her house ❤️

My girl... I wanna kiss you to my heart's content 💋

Just then Daadi kept hand on her head and said..

'Baccha I'm your immediate neighbour. And it's my and Samarjit ji's dream to make sure our grandchildren have their own homes...like we had ours...
Ahaana Dhruv are gifted the London bungalow where they stay...

This one's your and Ishaani's new home... So don't argue and Shutup!'

But I argued...

'Daadi I can't let you stay alone' I said...

To which Daadi said...
'I am not... My responsibilities are fulfilled... I'm retiring from business too. I have divided equal responsibilities amongst my grandchildren and have decided to travel around the world with my besties... Like college days... Beginning with Bangkok' Daadi said...

To which our eyes almost popped out.

These oldies were really upto something 🤣

Daadi continued....

'But ofcourse...after our last bunch of responsibilities...

Heli's wedding
Ahaana's baby shower

Then we are off!!!

Infact we will come back only when we hear my elder grand daughter in law is expecting 😉'

Can someone please dig the ground...I can literally hide my face there!

Ishaani almost forgot to lift her face 🙈

Everyone was laughing...

Soon Daadi pulled me and said...

'But for that to happen...we need to give you that space...

So... Entire house is yours 😉

Whenever you want...

Wherever you'

'Daadi can we have breakfast I'm hungry'. I interrupted the conversation before blushing, embarrasment kills us both!'

Soon Daadi said...

'Come on Ishu... Cook something sweet for us... We have visited your home for the first time! '

And she announced no one will help her expect me❤️

'Its the Kapoor's tradition... Samarjit ji helped in my first rasoi ritual'

I looked at her and smiled.

We both went into kitchen...

She started making halwa...

But she didn't see my face...

I was also too embarassed to face her...

I silently helped her in cutting dry fruits and stirring the halwa.

Soon she made some poori...I understood..
So I made some aam ras.

Then I saw her make chole.

I made some fruit salad and coffee.

Our breakfast was ready without uttering a word.

Although we both kept glancing at each other secretly. 🙈

Soon we served breakfast to everyone.

Everyone praised us. Daadi hugged Ishu and gifted her my mom's ruby necklace.

Ishaani smiled and took blessings from Daadi.

Everyone sat chatting till 11 am.

As it was a Sunday no one was in hurry but slowly each one started leaving.

Finally Daadi, Sharma's, Vihaan, Dhruv-Ahaana everyone went back to Kapoor Villa....

Leaving us both alone in this big guest house...

No...

Our new house
..

Ishaani-Dev.

We kept gulping saliva and passed a look to each other and looked towards our family members and friends who were waving a good bye and screaming all the best to us 🙈😜

What next? Was written on our faces clearly 😯😶

We stood there at the door...

She was counting tiles and I was smiling and counting stars🙈😜
