Continuation of Present:

Priya's POV:

           Sun rays hit my face and I groaned and opened my eyes to stare into his beautiful pair of black eyes. I smiled at touched his face and then lips. Suddenly he bit my fingers making me snap and I looked at our position. His legs are either side of me. He is laying on his toes and balancing his hands beside my face and I chuckled at him.

         " Hey why are you laughing?" He asked frowning at me.. and I giggled more. " You are in a lizard position Abhay." I said and giggled and he scrunched his face.

             " Whom are you calling a lizard woman? Have you ever seen such a handsome face like mine-" " I did actually... I did.. my boyfriend used to be way too hot that likes like you won't even stand a chance infront of his hotness." I said and wiggled my eyebrows as he became an angry dragon who is releasing big breaths. I chuckled at him.

         " If he is that hot then why the fuck did you marry me?" He asked and I pushed him to aside as I got from the bed and started folding the duvet. "Leave it aside and tell me why did you put me on bed when I clearly remember that I have not slept on bed! If you answer my this question I will answer yours " I said giving him my 'sweet' smile. And he narrowed his eyes at me.

         I snorted and went to washroom removed my frock and did my morning business before entering the shower which calmed my nerves.

         I choosed to wear a light green saree. I wore my blouse and petti coat and peeked from the closet door to outside. I have not seen him in room so I came and started wearing my saree. After that I started drying my hair with towel since I took head bath.

     I applied Kajal, bindi and little lip balm and Sindoor.

       After that I went downstairs and saw everyone in a good mood. Since the time is only 8:30 I assumed everyone got up early. I took angel from Naina's hands and she immediately beamed at me. I greeted the elders and started playing with my little bundle of joy who is my only ray off hope now.

        I took her in my hands and hugged to my heart as she started playing with my wet hair. I saw him looking at me and ignored his meaningless gazes and continued playing with my baby who is now throwing her hands in the air and giggling making me giggle too.
   
          " Hmm so? How are you feeling Priya?" I heard my mother-in-law say and smiled and nodded my while saying good. " Well how are you little sister!" I heard Amaira's voice and turned to see her.

      I stood up and gave angel to Naina and saw jiju holding their two years son Mokshit while Amaira's hands are on her big belly. I hugged her " I missed you in the wedding." I said and she chuckled at me. " I would have loved to come but since my delivery date is near I was suggested to stay back." She said.

           Later we all sat on the couch and started talking. "Hm.. that Megha was also your sister isn't she? She brought such a disgrace to my brother I wonder whether all your family members are like that." Abhay's aunt said and I turned towards her. " Oh... Aunty ji I heard you have son who is in drugs does that mean your whole family is doing them." I said with no emotion in voice and a plain look making my husband chuckle a little bit and that aunty looked flushed!

           " Is this is a way to talk to elders?" Said another aunty. " If the questions are stupid like this then they won't be having any option but talk like this Didi." I heard my mother-in-law saying. I folded my hands and looked at them. From all these, men looked like they are getting some entertainment and before I can say something I saw Sameera rushing inside.

       She came and gave me her beautiful smile and hugged Amaira then greeted Abhay. In all these things I can see someone hugging puffing and pouting... No not Abhay but our daughter.

      I went and took her in my and she hugged me by keep her hands behind my neck. " You are looking beautiful." I heard Amaira saying. " She always looks beautiful." Aaryash said and I looked at Abhay who is now sending glares to my best friend.

       Later my parents too came and we all had breakfast together. Then my parents took leave and kissed my forehead. Though this is not first time they are leaving me still few tears rolled down my eyes. Guests started to leave too and that day went like that.

    Sameera and Aaryash started to leave  when I stopped Sam and pulled her in our room. "Have you proposed him?" I asked her and she looked down. " You know he likes you-" "But you like him Sam and it will be too late if you don't tell him." I said.

          " Who likes who?" I turned to see Abhay who is standing there with a coffee cup in his hands. " Are you listening to our conversation?" I said turning towards him. "I only heard the last line. So spill up " he said and Sam sighed.

        " Well she likes Aaryash." I said and she looked down blushing. "Then propose. What is stopping you?" He asked sipping into his coffee.

         "Ugh-" "He liked her." Sam said pointing at me and I looked everywhere but him. Even after few seconds he didn't reply so I slowly looked at him only to see his face scrunched and frowning. "Why does it have to be my wife?" He said rubbing his face with his another free hand.

           " You want any help? Want me to knock some sense in his mind?" He said coming towards us as he kept his one hand on my shoulders.

         "Umm no jiju. I don't think he will accept-" "I never thought that she will accept my proposal too..." Abhay said looking at me and our eyes met this time.. there is something different in his eyes as he is trying to tell me something. "But she did..she accepted my proposal and liked me back. " He said and now looked at Sameera.

            " Now you are free Sameera... But what if your parents finds a suitor for you? Then..-" "Sam let's leave it's time-" we heard Aaryash here and saw him looking doubtly at three of us.

            " What is happening?" He asked. I felt Abhay's hands on my waist still his another hand hugging me from behind.  " Priya is suggesting to leave Ramachandra's office and join mine. Since I will pay good too." He said.

         Aaryash's face lost its color when Abhay said that and I giggled inwardly. "Oh." He said and the awkwardness started around us.

          "Abhay.." I heard Vikram Bhai coming towards us and stood at the door beside Aaryash. " I am going to be in your study room." He said and left without a second glance. Then Sam and Aaryash too left. My in-laws and Naina are leaving tomorrow and started preparing.

            The dusk crept in as we all gathered down in the hall. Nothing much changed in this home.

        Diya is playing with her toys on the floor as she sat on her soft bed mat my mother-in-law and father-in-law are talking while Abhay is talking with Vikram Bhai and Vinay Bhai (Naina's husband)

     I was looking at Diya while talking with Naina. I saw her picking a toy of her's she looked around her and then looked at Abhay. She looked at the toy in her hands and then at him. She smiled suddenly making me smile and curious about what she was gonna do when she suddenly threw her toy in Abhay's direction which hit his head and then laughed looking at me. I laughed so hard looking at her and Naina and my mother-in-law joined me lined up by everyone except for Abhay who is looking at us as a small smile made its way... His eyes met mine taking my breath away... Once again...
