Sonal was trying to sleep but the restlessness in her heart deprived her the ability to sleep. She was missing her Akhilesh. He was world to her and right now she fear what would happen if the report declared him of being infected.

He had confessed the other night how much he loved her. They had decided to take a step further in their marriage. She remembered how her maternal cousin described being in love with your husband. Sonal was experiencing something similar.

She had been smiling as requested by her husband but she feared the outcome of the test. She trust her Mataji but what if God take away her life's every hope.

She was not able to think straight and so she got up and taking Megha's old clothes and towel stepped out of the room.

She took bath in the common bathroom with chill water at 3:00 in the morning and then cleaned the puja room. She had understood in her small life of seventeen years how God can change everything.

She lighted a Diya 🪔 and by folding her hands she started praying.

She was giving up all her worries to her lord and she trust him. He was her savior and she was only able to ask in front of him.

The Sun had rise but the Shah family was dreading from the upcoming news. The fear was high, no matter 3 months have passed the country experiencing the effect of the virus but this family is experiencing the situation now.

Many people were able to recover but some have lost their loved ones too. This virus had been responsible for the grief of millions but world is still suffering and know we can only bow to God for his blessings.

Radha woke up and found her room empty. She thought how could a girl similiar to her age going through so much still capable of her responsibility.

Once she was against the marriage, she thought a illiterate girl is not right for their family and when they visited her bhabhi family in her village she was surprised. Their parents were adamant for marrying their son to that particular girl.

After marriage there was many times Radha had pointed out to her mother that Sonal is no match to her Brother. Sonal silence was always question to her but she was caring, responsible and most of all "A girl with golden heart".

Radha had accepted her as her Bhabhi but she was still not comfortable with Sonal. Her ideas to worship her husband was beyond Radha's imagination. Radha shook her head and prayed to God to end their difficult times.

She stepped out of her room when she met silence in her house. She checked the wall clock and time in phone and was astonished to find that at 8:30 in the morning the house of quite.

She moved to kitchen but the kitchen was empty nothing was prepared. She moved towards her parents bedroom and found it empty. She feared them gone out of house. She checked the main door but it was locked from inside.

She ran towards the back door but that too was locked from inside. She went towards the puja room to check at last and then she would inform Akash about them missing but she found Sonal and her parents sitting in the puja room praying.

She moved towards her room silently and took a bath. She came down and started to boil water for tea. She started chopping onion and then make a dough for Paratha. It was 9:30 when she knocked on the bedroom door of Akhilesh.

Akhilesh opened the door and found Radha with a tray in her hand. He brought the disposal plates & cup. Radha fill the cup with tea and poha in the plate.

"Where is Baa- Bapuji and Sonal ?" Akhilesh questioned as yesterday they all would keep standing near the door if he was going to open it just to look at him.

"They are in the puja room, praying for you." She answered him as it the most obvious thing to happen in their house. He nodded his head and closed the door.

As soon as he took the first spoon on his mouth his phone rang. He was informed about other 10 shopkeepers of the same area tested Positive and that shook him to core. He dailed Akash and informed him the same. He requested his best friend to confined with him in not telling his parents or others.

Akash understood the situation well and informed Akhilesh not to worry at all. He asked if he has experience sweating but Akhilesh denied. Akash inquired if any other symptoms but Akhilesh said he was normal right now but his parents are not. He was hell worried for his parents.

Sonal had finally opened her eyes when her jap (recitation) of Mataji was over. She was surprised to find her in laws praying with her. She had completed her praying and she stood up without disturbing them.

Sonal exited the prayer room and looked towards her room door. She cover her mouth with hands and tried to surpress her sob. She allowed tears to flow from her eyes. Her heart was paining and she knew her cure reside in that room right now.

She remembered in the starting week of marriage how shy she was while roaming around the house. She remembered that day when Akhilesh taught her how not to be afraid of anyone in this house and he promised her if she does any mistake, he would forgive her without her uttering any sorry.

She remembered the day when he had assured her that she have every right on him and the way he did it brought a smile on her face.

Flashback

Sonal made tea for Akhilesh and brought that in the room as his head was paining. She entered the room and abruptly closed her eyes watching her husband just with a towel secured against his waist.

Sonal kept the tray in the hand on the bed and moved fast to get out of the room. Akhilesh smirked as he understand her nervousness and he asked her to wait.

Ubhi re. (Wait)

Sonal with fiddling her ring in her ring finger stop right at the door. Akhilesh shook his head on her naiveness and ordered her.

Darvajo band Karine andar avti re.
(Close the door and come inside.)

Tu chaa bav saras banave che.
(You make a good tea.)

Sonal smiled on his compliment but didn't dare to look at him.

Akhilesh closed the distance between them and put his index finger on her chin. He moved his finger upwards so that he could look into his wife eyes but his wife shyness was of such great heights that her eyes were closed while her cheek bone now had a pinkish red colour which highlighted her face.

She was so delicate for him,  he could never hurt her but yet he loved to play with her. He is so used to her running away in such moments of their romance that the learnt to tease her more. Akhilesh understand in the short span of his marriage that his wife is as simple as tea the more you boil the more it taste good.

"Look into my eyes" he ordered.

"I have work". She reasoned.

"You always have". He stated.

"Baa would not like me delaying the work." She again argued.

"She will understand." He assured her.

"This is not the right time." She put further another excuse.

"We are husband & wife every time is right. You don't have to worry. No one will say anything. We have right on each other." He explained.

But... Sonal tried to speak but Akhilesh put his index finger on her lips and shuh her.

"Sonal, I have all right on you. We as a couple has some special right on each other. Only I can hold this way..

He put his arms around her waist and brought their bodies together.

You can touch me anywhere on my body you want.

With left hand still on her waist, Akhilesh guide Sonal hand on his face. He trade her hand towards his chest and let it  rest on the knot of his towel.

Only we have the right to see each other naked." He whispered in her left ear and as his words register in her mind she came out of his arms and with hands securing her  face, she ran out of the room.

Akhilesh chuckled at her reaction and looking at time in the wall clock started getting ready for the shop.

Sonal came out of her sweet memories and trailed herself downwards on the steps.

She came down and found her sister in law in kitchen, making a Paratha.

She stood by her and took a Paratha and put in the pan. She put ghee at the edge and flip the Paratha.

" I have given breakfast to bhai. Around half an hour before. What are we cooking for lunch ?"

"I don't know Ben. Whatever you want we can prepare." Sonal replied with gloomy eyes.

"Bhabhi, everything is going to be fine. Bhai is coming out from that room the next day. We only need to wait for a day.

Radha was trying hard to console her sister in law but instead Sonal started crying out loud. Radha off the gas and hugged her. Sonal was crying continuously and her voice reached to his husbands and in laws ears.

Radha tried to acknowledge her about that but Sonal couldn't understand it. She had been worried about Akhilesh, her heart was bleeding and she lost all her power to be in sense. She felt unconscious while crying and making Radha worried.
