Laksh was excited to see her again, after a long time he was going to meet her, all the invitations he couldn't attend.

*Ding Dong*

Ragini, who was in her room, rushed down to see them all, "Hi!!!!" She opens the door with a big smile on her face.

"Come in!" She moves aside and all entered the house, she was about to close the door just then a hand blocked it.

Ragini frowns, "what happen to the door? She tried to push it, but she couldn't close it.

"Maami why don't you want Maamu to come in?"

Ragini stopped, she opens the door again and saw him, he was hell angry on her.

"Ops, sorry?"

Laksh stamps inside the house, he went to his father-in-law and started to complain about Ragini's behaviour.

"What is this? She just closed the door in front of me. No, on my face, she didn't even cared for me."

"Cause I haven't seen or expected you!" She defends her act, but Laksh shook his head in disappointment.

"Laksh Beta come here."

Ragini widen her eyes, while Laksh was happy to see her grandfather, after the marriage it was the first time he met him again.

"Daada, you here?"

Ragini blocked his way, "what Daada? Where is oh Ragini I missed you so much?" She stood there with crossed arms.

"After you shut the door in front of me, you can be happy that I'm still here and tolerating you."

Her grandfather laughs, "come Laksh I need to talk to you."

"But he doesn't want to talk to you, right?!" How she was glaring at him, the eyes like bullets fixed on him.

"Uncle? Do you need help as your useless daughter isn't helping I have to while having my fast." He just left from there into the kitchen, *Phew* "gosh can you please keep the food away from me?"

Abdul looked at him, "you have a fast?"

Laksh nodded, "yes, I thought to keep one. My first Roza with my in-laws."

Abdul nodded, "nice, but you are in the kitchen, I can't keep the food away you have to leave the kitchen. Can't you smell it?"

Oh he could, his mouth was watering, "of course I can, this is so unfair." He gulps and leaves the kitchen ignoring Ragini and sat on the couch next to Daada.

"How are you?"

"I'm fine Daada, what about you?"

"Great, I could convince her with train tickets. She hates planes and to travel with strangers."

"Oh Daada, one call and one cousin or friend of mine would be ready to drive you. There was no need to take the train, I could have arrange a car with driver for you."

"I know you would have done this, but no need. Now tell me about your..."

Ragini closed the mouth of her grandfather, "Daada I'm warning you for the last time, dare you to ask him anything related to me."

Laksh pulls her away, "take your seat, there is no need of your interference. Daada can ask me what he wants."

"Big Daada listen." Rohan gained the attention.

"You talking to me?" Daada asked and Rohan nods, "I don't know how to call you, so big Daada. I have something here."

Laksh hits his palm on his forehead, "again? I told not to offer this cookie to everyone. We are on a fast."

They looked at him, "that's why you didn't ate anything. Bhai you should have told me I would have stopped him irritating you with his cookie. Rohan you won't ask anyone anymore, you got it!" Rhea was annoyed by Rohan's behaviour, who obviously felt bad getting scold in front of everyone.

Just then Daadi came in, "what the hell!"

All got scared by her angry face, they gulped in fear, Chris stood up and gave her a seat.

"Rohan," Daadi called him and Rohan was looking at her with watery eyes.

"How dare you to scold him?!"

Laksh stood up, the whole family left Rhea alone getting scold by Daadi.

Rohan smiles, "big Daadi, you will get the cookie, we will share after your fast." He sat on her lap and was continuously talking to her without a pause.

Rhea was upset, but that was the same feeling Rohan felt before. She just got her own medicine to taste.

The others were helping in arranging the food, Laksh was feeling the hunger, "it's smells so good."

Ragini looked at him, she took him aside and stared at him, "why you fast the whole day? You could have started with the small Roza, which is between the prayer of Asar and Maghreb, kids do learn with the small Roza."

Laksh shrugs, "how should I know that? You are not there to be asked, I just followed the rules/ instructions, whatever you want to call it. I'm doing so much and still you find a fault in me."

Ragini shook her head, "no Laksh, I'm conceded about your health. This fast is really hard even for us and we are used to it. You just started with a long fast of over 16 hours, do as I say. When we will break the fast take the date and water, a whole glass of water, okay?"

Laksh confused, "why only date and a glass of water?"

"The water will fill your stomach, we will then eat small portions of fried snacks and then we will go for the prayer. After the prayer we will have the main course."

Laksh couldn't believe it, "what I have to wait again?"

"Shh, come." They were all sitting together and the time to break the fast came, Ragini did the prayer loud that Laksh could repeat everything.

He followed her instruction and could feel each of the meal, "finally."

They all looked at him, with a little smile on their faces.

Ragini severed him only, "here eat that and this, you need the vitamins of the fruits."

Laksh ate what he got, they went to a separate room and did the prayer.

AP and Rhea has taken the responsibility to clean up and serve the main course.

"Amen!" Rohan said following Abdul.

"Ameen!" Abdul took him, "I wish your aunt will agree soon I need a grandchild."

"Yes, even I need a little one to play with."

Laksh rolls his eyes, "I'm not the problem, I'm ready since the wedding took place. But she is the one untouchable," he huffs and left the room.

The main course was ready to serve, Laksh filled his plate with various dishes, he was so happy and filled his empty stomach with the delicious food.

"Mom?"

"Yes Rohan?"

Rohan sat next to her, "here I will give you my cookie. Big Daadi said she doesn't want it, but she doesn't like it if someone treats other bad without a reason. A small lesson on your behaviour."

Rhea pulls him close, "a small lesson, huh. You are the devilish one, I still love you."

Rohan was happy, "I love you too." He was smiling and cuddling with her, she feeds him.

It was late in the night and Laksh was asked to stay, "if you have the time stay, then you can have a fast with us, but if there is an operation for you then go home."

Ragini looked at him, "say?"

Laksh frowns, "sometimes I want to slap you. What say? Just tell na if you want me to stay or not!"

Ragini made a step back, "relax, Abbu asked you what's your answer, do you have time or not?" She left from there as his rude behaviour hurt her.

They all looked at him.

"It's because of the stress okay! I will stay now I need to, to make it up to her."

Abdul just shook his head, "why you doing this? This time there wasn't anything wrong, she even helped you out of everything."

"I'm saying na the Hunger made me mad."

"The hunger is over Maamu, you ate a lot."

Laksh lowers his head, "actually I was prepared for an argument of fights, but how could I know she wouldn't fight with me."

"Because she stopped it long time back?"

"Maybe I was missing it Dad, now go! I have to make my wife happy." He went upstairs knocking on her door waiting for the response...
