Disha's POV

Yesterday mom told me that for today she has arranged a Puja for us in a temple as when I was in hospital she decided it with my mother that whenever I will come home all fit and fine they will do it.

Mom and Dad went to temple earlier than us to prepare for the puja with panditji. Khushi too tagged along with them to see all the preparations and abhinav is in his study doing a meeting through video chat with one of his investor.

I am standing in front of the mirror and is struggling to drape this saree with my left hand as my right one is sprained. I choose a very light weight saree to wear so that it doesn't get uncomfortable to carry it.

Ugh! Why did I told mom that I will be okay and will get ready by myself when she asked me earlier now see I don't know what should I do?

"Ahh" I winced in pain when I tried to tie the knots on the back of blouse. I am practically half naked as my blouse is not at all tied and for my saree it is very elegantly spread on the floor.

"Disha Are you re....." abhinav barged inside the room but stopped speaking when he looked at me. I nervously tried to cover myself from the saree while this shameless man who happens to be my husband is looking at me from head to toe instead of turning around which a gentleman would have done.

When he noticed that I am getting nervous he cleared his throat and turned the other way to give me privacy. I quickly tried to drape saree the way I could but few minutes later abhinav turned around and looked at me.

"Umm.....do you need any help?" he asked me and I looked at him all confused that how will he help me in wearing a saree.

"Do you know how to wear a saree?" I asked him and he chuckled and came in front of me.

"No I have never wore a saree so I don't know how to wear it but I have seen my mom draping saree around her and ga...umm....so I know" he told me and started picking up the saree from the floor.

He started draping it and when it was done he made plates and tucked it inside. While tucking it his hands touched my bare stomach and we both looked at each other but I quickly averted my eyes from his intense stare.

When plates of saree were also done he placed the left over part of my saree on my left shoulder as my palla and took few steps backwards to look at me completely.

He looked at me again from head to toe and then a proud smile made it's way to his lips and he muttered beautiful but I heard it and bit my lips to stop myself from smiling and blushing.

He grabbed my shoulders and turned me so that I could look in the mirror and my eyes widened seeing the way how perfectly he draped the saree around me. I think even I wouldn't have wore this saree with this much perfection.

"Wow! I am impressed that you really know how to drape a saree" I said while looking at the saree in mirror. I was going to turn towards him but he grabbed my shoulders to stop me while looking at me through mirror.

He lightly brushed all my hairs from my back and placed it on my right shoulder. When his hands came in contact with my back my eyes widened when I realised that whole this time my blouse knots were not tied and my whole back was naked.

Oh shit! He would have definitely seen it but why didn't he tied my knots first before draping saree around me? Ugh! I am so embarassed to look at him now.

I was so engrossed in covering myself from front that I totally forgot that my blouse is not tied and when he was draping saree around me that time my whole concentration was on my heart which was beating very loudly.

He pulled me a bit close to his chest and tied one knot. My blouse was deep from back side so it had three knots. I looked at him through mirror and he was already looking at me but with a different emotion on his face

He is taking a little more time to tie the knots as it would have taken but I didn't said anything as I am sure my voice would have betrayed me and would have showed him how nervous I was right now.

He tied the second knot and pulled me more towards himself and when he was going to tie third knot he completely pulled me to his chest. His warm breadth was fanning on my neck and I just hope that he wouldn't have noticed my goosebumps.

My heart was thumping very loudly and as my back was touching his chest I can feel that his was also thumping like mine only.

He tied the third knot and lowered his hands in the way that it touched my back very briefly. I shivered because of sensation and closed my eyes. He wrapped his hands around my stomach and leaned a little bit to reach my ear.

"You are looking very ravishing wifey" he whispered in my ear and I opened my eyes feeling shocked because it's the first time he actually complimented me but I didn't dared to look at him. He kissed me behind my ear and then pecked me on my neck.

"I love you disha" he said and moved away a little to look at me. I was beyond shocked from his confession and turned towards him to see that was he serious or it was one of his prank?

I looked at him and his face was damn serious and I think he understood my thoughts because he again came towards me and rested both of his hands on mirror on either side of me trapping me and leaned to come to my eye level.

"I am not joking I really love you and it's okay if you don't feel the same way because afterall it's my fault only. I am really sorry for all the hurtful things I said and did to you. I am not asking you to forgive me because I know that it's not easy and practically I forced you into this marriage but now you are my wife and I will do everything for you. don't you dare say that you don't have any feelings for me because I know that you also feel something for me so I will not back off and will seek your forgiveness" he said everything while looking into my eyes.

When he said hurtful things he grabbed my wrists and placed a kiss there as on the very first day of our marriage while argument he hurted me there. He remember it till now!

I gulped nervously hearing his confession and looked at him. He smiled at me and after pecking me on my cheeks he excused himself from the room as mom was calling him.

I placed my hand on my chest to steady my heartbeat and took few long breadths. When I felt normal I quickly touched up my makeup and then went outside to go as because of all this we were late for puja.

I went outside and after locking the main door I was going to open the passenger seat car door when abhinav came and opened it for me. I sat inside the car and he picked the ends of my saree palla which was left outside the car and kept it on my lap.

He closed the door and then sat on the driving seat and then we drove off to temple where everyone was present. Whole ride I felt him looking at me many times but I didn't looked at him at all.

Firstly, because he still hadn't told me anything regarding gauri di's matter and secondly, I am feeling shy because of our moment earlier in the room and his confession.

We reached temple and after removing our footwears we went inside the temple. We took blessings and prayed in front of God then one Panditji took us to the place where everyone was for puja.

"Mommy! Papa!" Khushi shouted as soon as she saw us and came running towards us. Abhinav picked her up and before abhinav could kiss her cheeks she kissed mine and then his.

"Why did you both took so long to come here?" Mom asked and abhinav told her that we were stuck in traffic. She nodded and asked us to follow her.

We greeted everyone our parents, rishi bhai, deepak bhai and riva. Rishi bhai hugged me and asked me about my health.

"You both go and sit there for puja" my mummy said and then we sat down in front of Panditji. In 1 hour puja was completed and we touched our elders feet for blessings.

"May God give both of you long, healthy and prosperous life and you both may get paired with each other for another seven lives. May God bless you with a beautiful baby girl or boy soon" panditji said and patted both of us on our heads.

I blushed when he blessed us for a baby and abhinav winked at me seeing me blush. Everyone laughed hearing that which made me blush harder.

Ugh! I am angry with him I shouldn't behave like this. Now I have to give him my poker face and behave rudely with him then only he will tell me everything.

Our parents had arranged for breakfast here in the temple only so that they can distribute food to the people who comes here and the ones sitting outside the temple.

We all sat on the floor mat with folded legs and started eating Puri with aloo sabji and chole. For sweet dish we had halwa.

Abhinav is sitting on my one side and the other side khushi is sitting. Khushi loves these dishes so she was very much engrossed in savouring them.

A boy was roaming with tray who was asking everyone if they need more any of the item. When he came towards me and asked me if I need anything I denied and before he could move further abhinav who was sitting beside me picked up two puris from him and placed it on my plate.

"I don't want to eat more take them back" I said to abhinav but he didn't listened to me and asked that boy to go further.

I don't eat oily food much but here he is putting more and more on my plate.

"Hey I am talking to you" I again said and elbowed him and finally he looked at me but shook his head and gestured me to eat them.

"Eat them otherwise I will ask our parents to convince you. You hadn't eaten much yesterday in the dinner and today you didn't had anything because of puja" he said and I heard a 'Awww' and I quickly looked at riva because I knew that she is the only one who could do this and she was smiling sheepishly to me.

Why does he want to embarass me in front of everyone? Look at him now, how busy is he in eating that he is not at all concerned that everyone is smiling and teasing us.

I looked at rishi bhai and he smiled at me while gesturing me to eat. I ate the other two puri too and then my favourite halwa.

"Mommy I am full" khushi said while caressing her stomach and she lightly burped. She quickly placed her hands on her mouth with wide eyes and said sorry. I chuckled seeing her cuteness and kissed her cheeks which made her giggle.

When everyone finished eating my parents went to home with rishi bhai and abhinav's parents went directly to airport as it's been more than a week they stayed here and Dad had to check on their business too in Jaipur.

It was around 1:30 pm when we reached home. Abhinav dropped us home and from outside only he went to office. Khushi and I went to our rooms to change our clothes.

Ashi helped me in removing all the pins from my saree and loosened the knots of my blouse so that I could remove it. I changed into my top and shorts and khushi also came to our room.

"Mommy let's watch a mermaid movie" khushi said and sat on the bed with remote in her hands. I also sat beside her and watched the movie with her.

When movie was finished we both slept as after eating oily food like puri and bhatoore I always feel too sleepy.
