Recap: Keshav does lot of shopping for Myra and gift her jewels as wedding gift.

******************

Being an early riser Keshav woke up and saw Myra asleep with her head on his arm and her arm around his waist.

Keshav: My cute little one

He pecked her forehead and without disturbing her sleep, he moved out of the bed and got ready for the day. When Myra woke up Keshav was missing in the room so she locked the door and quickly got ready in a saree and reached downstairs. Hearing the different sound of anklets everyone turned their attention to Myra while Keshav smiled at her taking away all her attention.

Archana: Myra, what is that different sound of anklet ?

Myra: Aunty, ketchup gave me these anklets and this chain with butterfly pendant as wedding gift. 

Archana: They are so beautiful and with those sound from your anklet the entire home gives a different vibe. I m supposed to be the first to give you wedding gifts but my son won me.

Archana made her way to her room while Madan looked at Keshav with a smirk.

Madan: Your mother is your tough competitor Keshav. Wait for her turn now. I have a wonderful competition to watch now.

Keshav choked on the coffee and Myra pat his head passing a wipe.

Myra: Why do you have to hurry ketchup. No one is taking your coffee away so have it slow. 

Keshav smiled to her care and Madan, Krish and Roshni watched the couple interacting among themselves. Archana returned holding a box and she sat next to Keshav pulling Myra to sit next to her. She opened the box which had so many jewels and passed it to Myra.

Myra: Why do you give this to me aunty ?

Archana: First of all call me amma and I saved all these jewels for my elder daughter in law. Now you are here so I m giving it to you.

Myra: So sweet of you but you know how lethargic I can be and I m not fond of jewels so let these jewels be with you and I will get it from you if needed.

Archana: You are an alien Myra. Which girl on earth will deny jewels ?

Keshav: You could have bought some chocolates and she would have showered you with hugs and kisses. 

Myra: And you haven't given me even a single chocolate so far uncle.

Archana: Still uncle ?

Myra: Ofcourse I will call him that until he behaves good. Be a good mother in law and tell him to buy me chocolates or I m not having breakfast until then.

Krish who was watching everything rose to his feet and looked at Myra with hesitation.

Krish: Myra, how about we go to the ice cream parlour and I will buy you chocolates ? Its been a very long time we have gone out. 

Myra was perplexed hearing his words and was unable reply him. She looked at Archana and Madan who were equally holding the same reaction. She wanted to reject his offer but hesitated to do it on his face so she looked at Keshav and like he was born to save her he picked out a chocolate from his pocket and showed it to Myra.

Archana: Here she got the chocolate. Keshav, if you bought her chocolate why didn't you give her already and waited for her to ask you ?

Keshav: She just walked out of our room and you started pouring your love so I waited for you to end your love session.

Roshni: Aunty, I have been engaged to Krish and living in this same home for almost year now but not once you thought of giving me anything but hardly one day Myra is here and you are showering her with so much love ?

Archana: You are wrong Roshni. I have exact design and number of jewels for my second daughter in law too but you are not yet married so how could I give them to you ? The day after your marriage with Krish I will give you everything. In all these months I have never let you do any work or I have never made any complaint against you. I will treat both of you as my daughters only. 

Krish picked the keys and stormed out when there was no reply from Myra. Archana asked Myra if she wanted help to organize the wardrobe but she denied and returned to her room to arrange everything. Keshav too joined her to help in the work.

Myra was placing the clothes in the cupboard but stopped abruptly hearing Keshav's words.

Myra: Did you say something ?

Keshav: I asked if you wanted to go on a vacation ? 

Myra: Vacation or are you hinting on honeymoon ?

Keshav: I know you are not yet ready for honeymoon yet and I travel in the same boat as you but as newly wed couples we need not get locked in the room forever so if you wanted to go out for a change then we shall plan for a vacation. Just sight seeing and change of location for a while.

Myra: Will you be ok to go with me all alone ? 

Keshav: Will you be comfortable going with me ?

Myra: you and your questions. Do I have a choice now ? Ofcourse I will go and you will have to bear my tortures.

Keshav: I don't have a choice too so where do you want to go ?

Myra: I don't have any particular place in mind so I will go with your choice but I have to complete my schedules so how about next month ?

Keshav: Done, I will take care of the plans. I will be going out for some work and be back for dinner. 

Myra nodded her head and by evening Keshav left from home. Myra helped Archana with household works and spent some time with her mother at her home. 

Vasundra: How do you feel Myra ? Are you happy ?

Myra: Why will I not be happy ? Ketchup is taking good care of me. Though I m aware of him and feel comfortable around him, I feel like seeing a whole new version of him.

Vasundra: Why ?

Myra: I don't know there is a lot of difference in him. He constantly stays by my side to take care of me. Buy lot of things, gifts, dresses even after I denied them. He cares me like a baby.

Vasundra: He used to care for you like that when you were young Myra. I didn't know that guy will be son in law, yet see the destiny's play. He still cares for you.

Myra: But I m not a baby anymore.

Vasundra: Ofcourse you are not a baby anymore. You are his wife and from what you said I can see that he is already giving a chance to this relationship but I won't force you. Go with the flow and I m sure you are made for each other.

Myra rolled her eyes and returned home. She was helping Archana to prepare dinner with usual chat and once they were done they started watching a movie. They both shared a look when there was wedding night scene. Myra yanked the remote from Archana's hand and changed the channel.

Archana: Why did you change it ? Its not like they will show everything.

Myra: I m very angry on you.

Archana: What did I do now ?

Myra: What did you not do ? what a mother in law are you ? You spoiled all my dream of wedding night. I had dreams that I will be dressed like those heroines from the movies with lot of flowers and enter the room like a shy bride but you people didn't care about my wedding night. Imagine who in the world will enter the room wearing salwar ? Only the poor Myra was sent like that.

Archana: Why worry ? I will get you dressed today and you can have the wedding night.

Myra: No, the wedding night is the first night after wedding and I missed it.

Archana: My dear Myra, what if I didn't dress you up like heroines ? The main thing that is required for the wedding night was available in the room so what is the problem ?

Myra: What things are you talking about ?

Archana: Poor Myra, You and my son were in the room and what else you wanted for wedding night.

Myra gasped and closed Archana's mouth with her palm hiding her face behind Archana's back.

Myra: Have some shame amma. I m your daughter.

Archana: Oh, you didn't think of that when you wanted me to dress you for wedding night ?

Myra: I just asked about... ok let it go. We are not talking about this anymore. 

They heard throat clearing and saw Keshav entering holding a food bag in his hand. He did not speak a word and left to their room passing the bag to Myra. Both Myra and Archana had their head tilted watching until he closed the door to their room.

Myra: What do you think ? Would he have heard us ?

Archana: May be, may not be.

Myra: Better tell the earth to swallow me please. I m the most embarrassed girl on the earth now.

Archana chuckled and removed her pallu which Myra was using to hide her face.

Archana: Even if heard, he won't talk about it so don't worry. Open the food bag and he must have bought apple pie for you. Share it with me.

Myra: Promise me you will cook ghee rice. Only then I will share.

Archana showed her palm and they shared the apple pie together. Krish came out of his room and informed his mother about an official trip and left without looking at Myra.

Myra: Is he upset with me or Roshni ? I can't understand what is happening with him. I m scared to even talk cause Roshni might kill me with her eyes but you can talk to him and know what is happening with him. He looks distraught and now staying away from you all will make him feel lonely.

Archana: Even I feel bad that he is leaving but they both needed this break and he need this time to realize what he wants. Distance helps us to think in the right mind and I hope he will come back with a clear mind. I wanted him to be happy in his life with or without Roshni so let him go. They can't keep going like this. Now tell me about you and Keshav, are you not planning on going somewhere ?

Myra: Actually Ketchup wanted to go on a vacation and I said yes. Before you get excited its just a vacation. 

Archana: I never said that you will go on honeymoon. I wanted you to buy me gifts from wherever you both are planning for.

Myra: Let me try. Go call your son to have dinner. I m very hungry.

Archana: I will call my husband and you call your husband. 

Archana smirked and walked away leaving Myra in dilemma. Myra looked at the closed door munching on the apple pie.

Myra Mv: Did you hear my rantings ketchup ? How to test you now ? 

She looked at the apple pie and laughed running to their room. Keshav was working on his laptop and Myra sat next to him giving him a piece of the apple pie.

Keshav: When did you start sharing it ?

Myra: Basically I m a very good girl and even shared a little with Archana maa and since you bought this for me, I thought of sharing a little to you too. 

Keshav accepted the offer and Myra sat with her legs folded trying to think of a way to start the conversation.

Myra: Ketchup...

Keshav: hmmm tell me butterfly

Myra: I m hungry, come lets have dinner and have you decided the place ? Archana maa wanted gifts and amma will also ask for gifts. If you have decided the place then I will think of the gifts for them.

Keshav: don't worry, we shall decide that when we plan on returning home at the end of our vacation. Let it be  surprise as of now.

Myra: So you decided the place and won't share it with me is it ? What a cruel husband god has given me who doesn't even share anything with me. Poor Myra.

Keshav controlling his laughter and continued his work. Myra huffed and was about to leave the room but stopped by to confront him.

Myra: Did you hear something when you entered home ?

Keshav: No but why do you ask ?

Myra: Nothing, just like that. 

Myra squealed in her mind and was about to leave but stopped in tracks hearing his next words.

Keshav: I just heard that you missed our wedding night. Did I miss something else ?

Myra gasped and slumped on the floor hiding behind the wall. Hearing his chuckle she crawled out of room to escape from him but met with a pair of feet before her. Myra raised her head and saw Roshni standing before her. Standing to her feet she cleared her throat as if nothing and looked anywhere except Roshni.

Myra: I dropped my earring here and was searching for that but no problem since you are blocking my way I will search somewhere else.

Myra ran away and Keshav who was listening to her words closed the door and burst out laughing. Roshni looked irritated at the disappearing figure of Myra and followed her to have dinner. Myra pulled Archana to the kitchen and pouted with a cry face.

Myra: your son is very bad. He heard everything. Why did he come early ?

Archana: How do I know ?

Myra: I will sleep with you tonight. I can't face him so send Madan appa to sleep with your son.

"Who will sleep with whom ?" came Keshav's voice and Archana turned to him while Myra hid behind Archana with her back facing Archana's back. Keshav gestured Archana to leave and he stood in place of Archana looking at Myra.

He was controlling his smile while Myra pinched his arm.

Myra: Tell him my plan.

Keshav: What plan little one and why did you pinch me ?

Myra turned around and a huge gasp escaped her lips on seeing Keshav before her. She peeked behind him and saw Archana was controlling her smile Myra mouthed a traitor and turned her attention to Keshav as he cleared his throat.

Keshav: You don't have to feel embarrassed butterfly. Would it make you feel better if I say that even I missed our wedding night ?

Myra: You are too bold in flirting Mr. uncle. I m hungry so either you join me or I m having dinner without you.

She stomped on his feet and walked out of the kitchen. Keshav tailed behind her and sat next to her but held her hand from having dinner.

Myra: what now ? I m hungry Ketchup.

Keshav: Tell me you will sleep in our room.

Myra: Only if you let me eat now or sure I will send appa to sleep with you.

Keshav let go of her hand immediately and they started having dinner together. They returned to room and Myra got remined of Rakesh's words. She called Keshav who stopped his work and turned to her.

Myra: Ketchup, do you have any idea of leaving me anytime ?

Keshav was shocked to hear her question. He rose to his feet and sat to next to her on the bed.

Keshav: What made you think that little one ? Its just 2 days of us being married and you already doubt me ?

Myra: No, I m asking you this because of Rakesh sir's words. He said not to let you go. Why will I let you go unless you wanted me to let you free ? His words were like a puzzle trying to hint me on something. Tell me ketchup, will you leave me ?

Keshav: I will never leave you butterfly, not today, not ever.

Myra: Why ?

Keshav: Because you are very special to me. You are my little butterfly.

Myra smiled at his words and he pat her cheeks returning to his work
