"Get up Akhilesh, it's noon now!!!" Sonal exclaimed

"I am sleepy 😴😴😴. I will wake up within next 15 minutes."

"You won't. You have already use that excuse with Radha ben last 2 times so now please get up." Sonal exclaimed with irritation in her voice.

It was not new to her that her husband has magically became lazy these days. He was without a worry about a single thing in the world had been laying around the house. Mr. and Mrs. Shah had been worried about the expenses of the house but Akhilesh was not.

Many times Mr. Shah thought to talk about the issue to his Son but he saw that Akhilesh was giving money for the expenses of the house as usual and he even was not worried at all.

"Sonal, please let me sleep for now. I promise I will wake up within next few minutes." Akhilesh pleaded in front of his wife.

"No. Get up now. It's 10:30 right now, I am giving you 10 minutes fresh up and come outside or I will pour a bucket full of cold water on you." Sonal giving an ultimatum to him exited the room.

Akhilesh was remembering that fearful cat who he witnessed in this particular room on first night of their marriage and now this angry cat who was ready to give him any punishment for his laziness. He chuckled and shook his head remembering those days.

He sighed and left his bed which all together had become his most favourite place in his house. He opened the bathroom door and washed his face. He heard a knock on the door and he moved out to find his Bapuji in his room.

"I thought you are never going to come in my room." Akhilesh commented to his father as he had never entered in his room after he got married.

"Your mother is worried and honestly I am too." Mr. Shah confessed to his son.

Akhilesh hold his father hand and made him sit on the bed. He too seated next to him and waited for him to say further but when he didn't spoke anything Akhilesh asked.

"Why are you worried Bapuji ?" Mr. Shah looked at his son and filled him in about their worries.
"How are we going to manage the expenses ?
This lock down have completed 5 months and my friends told me for next 2 months also it can be extended, what will happen I don't know."

"You don't need to worry Bapuji

"Why should I not worry Akhilesh ?
We have to pay rent of the shop, The EMI of loan and the expenses of the house and moreover the shop is closed for 5 months now. How are you managing the expenses up till now ?"

"First you don't need to worry about Rent and EMI, government had announced that we can pay later and I have talk to the bank and shyam bhai everything is settled. I had started that online thing on Flipkart you remember ?

Mr. Shah nodded his head.

I have some money saved from there around 50 thousand is there and there is also some of my saving in the bank. You please don't worry about the finance, it is my responsibility. I don't want you to take stress." Akhilesh explained with details and asked him not to worry.

"I can't stop myself from worrying. Your savings are being used and I don't have anything to give you. How many times I will fail as a father I don't know Beta but I am

"No Bapuji please don't say like that. You have done everything in your capacity. If not you I wouldn't be able to complete my education. You are my rock and don't say anything like that again."

"Mota Bhai, you are not getting your morning tea or breakfast." Radha announced from the hall and Mr. Shah laugh out loud at his Son's expression. If truth to be told the 3 ladies were angry about his sleeping habits and continuous food demands.

"I will prepare tea for myself." Akhilesh announced to his father and move out of his bedroom.

September,

The lock down was finally over, everything was going back to a new normal and so was the life of Shah family. Akhilesh shop has started and Radha started accompany him to his shop.

Mr. and Mrs. Shah still were allowed out on if necessary and Sonal was taking care of everything in the house. Radha College had not strated yet so it was a relief for her but exams were announced to be taken offline.

A normal day at Shah would be started with breakfast and Tea. Sonal had introduced a new variety to them Misri Roti. It was routine day for all of them.

Mr. Shah was watching the news while Radha and Mrs. Shah were having the breakfast. Sonal was preparing Tea for Akhilesh and Akhilesh was late as his routine.

"Mota Bhai has became Lazy and he is also gaining weight, Baa you should ask him to reduce his diet." Radha said and looked towards her Baa. It was unusual that her Baa had kept quiet on her comment and not ask her to shut her mouth.

As Akhilesh came out of room after being ready for Shop, he sat beside Radha and started using his phone. Radha was busy savouring the taste of her Misri Roti when Mrs. Shah said "Akhilesh you better get up early and start doing some excercise or you will end up with a stomach as big as a Pregnant lady."

Radha started laughing as a maniac, when she heard her mother. Akhilesh was silent as he went blank after hearing his mother. There was no doubt this lockdown had change many things but her Baa was always liberal with him from start but now the wind and his Baa were against him.

As soon soon Sonal put the breakfast in front of him which contained 4 Misri Roti and a cup of tea, Mrs. Shah commented "You better understand the difference between hunger and Time pass. The lock down has ended and it will be good if you can keep a check on your eating habits now."

Radha had her mouth opened after hearing the comment of her mother in law and was quietly watching the one way communication been held. It was something serious for them. Sonal who had never in her life heard her mother asking her brother's to cut off their diet was surprised.

She remembered her mother in law suggesting Megha to control her shopping and ordering Radha to behave properly whenever she would fight with Akhilesh or talk unnecessary but her mother in law asking Akhilesh to cut his diet was new to her and that too food.

Sonal thought what is wrong if he wishes to eat. Sonal faced showed the thoughts running in her mind and Mrs. Shah after looking at her realised she need to make understand not only her son but also her daughter in law.

"Eating is not a problem Akhilesh but eating for time pass is a problem. You now have work to do in the shop and with increasing in weight and no excercise your health will be effected.

Mr. Shah had muted the telivision and he was now focusing on the conversation happening at the dinning table. It was a rare sight for the members of the house to watch Mrs. Shah taking Akhilesh Class regarding something.

It was earlier always Megha or Radha at her target and now Sonal too but never Akhilesh had been through such a one way conversation. He had never experienced himself drowning in such a situation where his biggest support had push him in it.

It is better you understand that at your age it is necessary to take a very good care of your health. Your father would do extra work and not take rest, you have seen how that had affected him in the long run. You please don't repeat it." Mrs. Shah explained her to a point where everyone agreed to her.

Akhilesh nodded his head understanding his Baa concern and only had 3 Misri Roti for breakfast that morning.

After some days

"And Mota Bhai didn't said a word." The laughter of Megha , Akash and Radha echoed in the house. It was Sunday and Shah family together were enjoying their Morning Brunch.

Akash remained busy the entire week and he could only pull out some hours to be with families so Sunday Morning it would be Brunch at Megha house and the evening would be spend at theirs house itself.

"Bapuji you liked all the songs right ?
If you want any to be further added tell me I will do it." Megha offered and Mr. Shah smiled and said he surely will.

Out of nowhere Radha asked to Akhilesh "Mota Bhai what will you gift to Sonal Bhabhi on her birthday ?
Don't be a kanjus like Baa, she just made Mohan Thal for Bapuji as a gift."

As Radha completed her statement, she earned a smack on her head from Mrs. Shah and others laugh at her expenses.

"Akhilesh you are very lucky, Bhabhi don't even know the importance of Birthday Gift and she also doesn't desire one. You really are lucky to have her as your wife.

The whole family had a heartily laugh and Sonal quietly focused on delicious Somasa and Jalebi. It was a savouring treat for her as on Sunday she doesn't need to prepare breakfast or lunch.

Her happy bubble for sweet was broken the moment Akhilesh inquired "Sonal, what is your Birth date ?"

Sonal who had mouth watering Jalebi in her mouth made a very unbelievable excuse "I don't know."

"Your Birth Date ?" Megha asked as she didn't expected such a anwer from Sonal.

Sonal only nodded her head refraining herself from the topic.

"Wow!! Akhilesh what a luck you have, Bhabhi doesn't even know her Birth Date." Akash said and this didn't earn a laugh from anyone.

Akash understood he need to stop making jokes as the atmosphere had turned gloomy. Just then he asked, "Baa you had match their Kundali right ?"

"Yes." Mrs. Shah replied affirmative.

"Bring Bhabhi's Kundali and from that we can know her Birth Date." Hearing  Akash every one got excited.

Mr. Shah asked his wife to bring the Kundali and apparently it was brought by her and handover to Akash.
