Sisira POV:

Sisira! "Sisira?" Get up!

Aren't you getting late for Institute? Wake up fast.. Look it's already 7  am, sravan said..

I blinked my eyes, still feeling sleepy.. Sravan five more minutes pls.. I added covering the blanket on my face..

Thank god! He went to washroom maybe.. I can sleep for extra 15 min till he finishes his bath.. I thought but there's no door sound! So I removed the blanket, only that my eyes can get uncovered..

Oh gawwd you're still here? I asked looking at sravan who's sitting beside me..

What man? Won't you let me sleep for more 5 min? I asked irritated..

Sravan smiled for that..

What? Am I looking funny? I asked getting up and looked at the God photo hanging on the wall and rubbed my eyes..

You have to attend classes did you forgot? He asked..

I remember sravan but yesterday only one exam finished.. At least one day break tho banta hai na?

Wow look you started speaking hindi! That's the benefit of meeting new people in classes, sravan added..

I'll read at home itself I'm having a lot of work at home.. Need to clean up.. Look at those webs, I showed to my husband..

You can do later.. Get ready.. He said moving towards washroom..

Getting up I folded the blanket and went down to get milk packets..

After keeping the milk to boil.
I remembered that groceries were finished.

Our fellow resident gave me sooji last night which she took long back..

Ok let's make this upma only.. But this time vegetable upma..

By the time I finished making breakfast, he came out..

There's no lunch today.. You eat in canteen, I said moving into room..

What? Today also upma? Sravan rolled his eyes looking at the dish..

I'm telling you since a week that we have to refill Groceries. But you are busy with your friend vijay and his wedding shopping.. I said leaning to the door..

Sravan! Didn't I told you? I asked while he's busy in wearing his phant..

"Ohh groceries!" OK OK now don't start.. Get ready he said..
We'll buy on our way at evening.. He said tucking his shirt..

After he dropped me to institution and left to his bank..

Evening:

Its been half an hour since I'm waiting here! But this man still didn't came?

I called a bunch of times but he didn't even respond to my call?

It's getting dark.. He should have informed me about his delay!
Stupid me I should have done this first..

Take left from here! I said directing the autowala..

Yes here itself.. I got down near the Market area.. It's bit distant from here but I need to buy something.. After paying to auto I moved towards the kirana store..

But it's too rush today! My phone started ringing..

It's Mom!

Hello amma? I said shouting due to the disturbance on the road..

Sisira where are you? Mom asked..

"Came to buy groceries!" Everything is nil at home I said giving list to shopkeeper..

I need to go and cook! I have lots of work.. Your SIL is sitting grumpy as I fed him upma last night and early morning also..

So I need to prepare something special if not I can't take his rude avatar anymore. I said..

Ok don't worry I'm sending dinner tonight.. Have it.. Ok?

Mom! "You're awesome.."
Thank you so much.. I said picking up my cover after paying bill..

Mom I'll call you in a while.. I said.

Ok bye.. Freshup by the time I'll send you  your favorite food and you both can have it, mom said before ending up the call..

After getting required ingredients I started back to home..

As, soon as I got back to home I started refilling the tins in kitchen..

As my mom called me to inform our relative is waiting down..

I never met him.. I looked down to see a person standing near to the gate sitting on his bike..

I got down and went near to him..

Hi! Sisira.

Hi.. I said to him..

I'm Ajay.. Your cousin (bava) ..

Ohh hi! I said..

Here's your bag, attha said to give it..

Sorry for troubling you.. I said..

Never mind.. Anyway nice meeting you after our childhood.. Take this bag! He said..

I took the bag, and ajay was about to leave,!

Sravan came near to us accelerating his bike and stopped in front of our house..

You scared me! I said complaining looking at my husband..

Sravan he's Ajay.. My bava.. I said..

Hello.. Why don't you come up? Sravan asked..

No-no some other time, Ajay said and left bidding bye to both of us..

Sisira waved her hand towards Ajay as he waved her bye..

"Sravan!"
Where were you? I have called you many times but you didn't pick up my calls? Sisira asked while he's busy in keeping his bike inside..

After closing the gate sisira followed sravan and they both got inside their house..

Sravan! You fresh up soon.. Mom has sent your favorite.. It's Smelling sooo good! I said while he glared at me..

What? Why are you glaring at me? I asked keeping the bag aside..

Instead of informing your mom about ration! Why don't you go and buy for yourself? Didn't I gave you money?

But sra- I!?

And you stupidly accepted your mom's food? I'm not going to eat that.. You only enjoy..

Sravan do you have any idea what you're talking? I asked..

Noo I have lost my sanity.. I need to learn from you.. What's good and what's bad? He, said in irritated tone..

Sravan? I was about to talk he went closing the door on my face!

I pushed the door and went inside.. You don't want to have food sent by my mom?

Is that your problem?
Then I'm also a byproduct of my parents only.. You happily accepted me but not ready to accept little gesture from my parents?

Sisira? You're making the issue big! Keep quiet! I'm not in a mood to fight with you..

"It's their love sravan!" And by the way for your kind information I went to groceries shop and bought everything on my own.. Look here I said moving towards cupboard to take my purse and showed the bill..

You didn't even asked me how I reached home all alone? You didn't even called me once also!

Sisira! You're not a kid that I ask each and everything and keep an eye on you.. You are a married woman now.. It's your responsibility to adjust accordingly..

What? Marr-!?
"Yaah I'm married.." Thanks for making me remember that.. I said walking out..

What do you think about sravan thought?

Is it ego or self-respect?

Is sisira wrong?
