Kaushalya was sitting with her family.There was a change in behaviour of her family towards her.All were treating her well.She was being treated like a special person.Her youngest cousin brother came and sat on her lap.

"Dev" she called him lovingly.

"Whele did you go?" He asked her.

(Where)

"I went to my husband's house"

"The man who came to take you?"

"Yes.Did you miss me??"

He was busy in playing with a woolen nool.

"Yes I missed you.Now don't go there."

"I have to go babu(baby).You study well" he looked at her.

"Who will make swelterl(sweater) for me??After making it you can go."

"Hawww babu so I am just there for making swelter(sweater) for you...I will make it for you and send it from Jaipur."

"Didi where is my chand sitara?"

(A type of candy)

Asked her another cousin,Vibhu.

"I will bring it for you"

"Didi don't go I will not let you go...mummy said now you have gone to your own home but this is also your home! I have said this to mummy" said Dev.

"Kaushi Didi machchar kaat rahe hain"

(Kaushi Didi mosquitoes are biting me)

"Idhar aao(come here)..bring that new cream 'Odomos' Meenu"

Meenakshi gave it to her and she applied it on the hands and legs of her cousins as mosquitos were biting even at daytime.

"Didi chand sitara(candy)" her cousin whined.

"Vibhuuu ache bache itna baahar ka nahi khate hain...samjhe "

(Vibhu good children don't eat this much of packet stuffs )

"Didi chand sitaraaa" he whined again.

Before Kaushalya could say something she saw her dadi how weak she looked.

"Dadii why are you standing lay down on the bed"

"I am done laying on the bed.I want to stroll a little"

"Did you take your medicine?"

"No its over I forgot to tell Ankur...I will give him the prescription list today"

"How can you be this careless!!" Kaushalya said annoyed and shouted at her dadi a little.

"Give me the prescriptions I will go and buy it"

"Newly wedded brides don't go out without their husband."

"But a granddaughter has no problem in going out to take medicines for her grandmother.Give me the prescriptions I will go buy them and I will bring chand sitara for Vibhu too."

"Don't go out Kaushi when Ankur will come he will bring it."

"Stop with your old ways dadi."

She took the prescriptions from her dadi's room and went out of the house from the back door to bring the medicines for her.Vibhu and Dev tagged along with her,she kept her pallu on Vibhu's head for protecting him from sunlight.He was sitting behind her on bike holding her waist and Dev sat on the tank of the bike.She kept a cloth below him so that he doesn't feel the heat of the heated tank.She checked on Vibhu whether he is sitting properly or not holding her.She kick - start her bike and went to take the medicines.Again everyone was seeing her like she is a ghost she came from back door because the entire colony was sitting in the living room to meet her as she has come back from her in law's house.

"Vibhu theek se baithe ho na?"

(Vibhu are you sitting properly?)

"Haan didi"

(Yes didi)

"Pakad ke rakhna humko"

(Keep holding me)

"Theek hai didi chand sitara lene chalo"

(Alright didi now let's go to buy chand sitara)

Kaushalya huffed at her younger brother's obsession with the candy.

She started the bike and again became the sight to catch.Her sindoor, bindi, payal's tinkling in the air was mesmerizing everyone.People of her area know she drives bike but after marriage she came for a day and that day too she started flying on bike.

.

Kaushalya was on the way back home from shop after buying the medicines when she saw goons roaming on jeeps.She didn't want to cross these goons as the condition of GUNDARAAJ(Goon rule) in Bihar was alarming.She has come across these goons three to four times before while she was completing her graduation in college.These goons used to stand outside her college and tease girls.Her dadi has clearly instructed her to not come in the eyes of these goons.She used to wear frocks or bell bottoms with long shirts along with scarfs for going to college, rarely she used to wear salwar suit but she kept her profile very low in college.



"Didi"

"Yes"

"Are these Lagan Tiwari's goons?"

"Yes"

"Didi will they murder someone?"

"Shhh don't say something like this.They won't do anything"

She kept her bike aside on the bike when they were crossing.They went ahead his men were snatching dupatta's of girls.Kaushalya kept her palm in front of her cousin's eyes.She didn't want them to see all this.

They went from there after creating disturbance on the road.Kaushalya decided to change the route and take the path that goes from her family's farm land.She didn't want to follow the route that goons have taken.She is 100% sure they will create problems on the way and she is with her younger cousins she doesn't want any problems.

She took a reverse and went from another route.On the way back she saw rice crops in her farm land and stopped to take a stroll in her farm.

"Chacha ji ab toh pandrah din me katai hogi fasal ki?" She asked the worker.

(Chacha ji after fifteen days crops will be harvested.Isn't it?)

"Haa bitiya pandrah din lagii"

(Yes dear it will take fifteen more days)

She nodded her head.She went inside the farm looking at the crops enjoying the soft touches of the wind and the soft caress of the rustling crops.It seemed as if the crops danced.The serene tinkling sounds of her payal and the chatters of her cousins was making the environment a moment to  be captured.She found peace she took Dev and Vibhu in her arms and twirled them around and they giggled.

"Didi aur tez ghumao"(Didi twirl me faster) and she took them one by one twirling them around giggling and laughing with them.Her brothers ran and sat on the tractor.She ran behind them and saw Okra she plucked the soft ones and sat on the tractor at the driver's seat.She started eating okra enjoying the sweetness of it.Her brothers took one - one okra and started eating it.

"Devvvvv....where are you running?"

"Didiiiiii....I am here catch me"

He stood behind a scarecrow and posed like him by stretching his hands.Kaushalya and Vibhu laughed at him.She ran towards him and picked him up and started tickling him.She went near handpump and pumped it and drank water.Vibhu took off his clothes and jumped in the small concrete pond where water is collected.She took off Dev clothes and he also jumped in the pond.

"Jungle Jungle baat chali hai

Pata chala hai..

Arre chaddi pehen ke

Phool khila hai phool khila hai"

(Translation :- News is spreading through the trees,

Whispers floating on the breeze...

In his undies, wild and free,

A jungle flower blooms with glee!)

Her brothers sang because they heard this song in the Mowgli film.

"Bathe quickly we have to go home also"

"Didi sing with us"

"Jungle jungle baat chali hai

Pata chala hai..

Arre chaddi pehen ke

Phool khila hai phool khila hai

(News is spreading through the trees,

Whispers floating on the breeze...

In his undies, wild and free,

A jungle flower blooms with glee!)

Ek parinda hoy sharminda,

(A bird felt embarrassed,)

Kaushalya picked naked Dev in her arms and says the line and he giggled.Vibhu threw water on them.

She dropped Dev and picked up Vibhu.

Tha woh nanga 'hawwww'

(For he was naked 'hawwww')

Vibhu kissed her cheeks.

Bhai isse to ande ke andar,

Tha woh changa

(Brother, he was better off

Inside the egg!)

She dropped him in th

e pond.

Soch raha hai bahar aakhir kyun nikla hai

Arre chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai

Phool khila hai

Arre chaddi pehen ke phool khila hai

Phool khila hai

(He’s now wondering,

Why on earth did he come out?

Oh! Wearing underwear,

A flower has bloomed, a flower has bloomed!

Oh! Wearing underwear,

A flower has bloomed, a flower has bloomed!)

The sibling trio sang together.

She took them out of the pond and wiped them with their shirts as they had no towel at the moment and made them wear their shirts.It was summer so the clothes will be dry soon.

"Didiiiii......let's eat some cucumber"

"Didi pluck some brinjals I want to eat litti chokha today"

"Okay wait" Kaushalya plucked the vegetables to be cooked at home from the farm.Her bangles sound was so mesmerizing anybody could here those tinkles for hours the raw freshness of the place the peace the calmness the closeness to nature can make anybody's day.

She collected them in her saree's pallu   when she heard the voice "Kaushi bitiya damad ji aaye hain"

(Kaushi dear son - in - law has arrived)

She saw her husband and dozens of men coming towards her along with him was Vijay and Mriganka.She was surprised to see them.She was holding vegetables in her pallu.

"Bata nahi pa rahi thi kisi ko kaha gayi ho...aise bina bataye koi jata hai kya ghar se bahar" she heard him shout, scolding her.

(Weren't you able to tell where were you going...does anyone leaves house this way without telling anyone)

"Wohhh hum dusra rasta le liye the fir raste me khet tha toh yahaa aa gaye thodi der ke liye...aap toh sham ko aane wale the itni jaldi kyu aa gaye abhi hum Ghar pe sabse ache se mile bhi nahi"

(Actually I took different route, on the way I saw the farm so I came here for some time...you were going to come in evening why did you come so early..till now I haven't even been able to meet everyone at home properly)

Satya raised his eyebrows "Oo reallyyy!!! Yaha tum khet khet khel rahi ho aur wahaa sab pareshan hain ki tum kaha ho...time pata hai kya ho raha...char baje gaye hain madam... dopahar nahi sham ho chuki hai"

(Here you are playing around in the fields, while everyone over there is worried about where you are... Do you even know what time it is? It's already 4 o'clock, madam... It's not afternoon anymore, it's evening now.)

"Charr baj gaye!!!!!Gole walaa aata hai sadhe teen bajeee....chala gya hogaaa ab tak" they heard all the three siblings shouting at once.

(It's already 4 o'clock!!! The gola vendor comes at 3:30...he must have left by now!)

Everyone was standing shocked hearing their whines.Satya was looking at his wife amused the way her face dropped and a frown appearing on her face, her nose scrunched her lips pouted a lil her eyebrows furrowed and her hands folded in anger which pumped up her breasts.She left her pallu due to which all the vegetables fell down.She whined but then again started picking up the dropped vegetables.

"Let's go home"

"Namaste bhaiya bhabhi"

She greeted them.

Mriganka laughed at Kaushalya's whines and joined her company.

She ran towards Kaushalya."SUNFLOWER CAREFUL DON'T RUN" Vijay said.

"Bhabhi have you plucked these fresh vegetables?"

"Yess"

"Wow" she clapped her hands in happiness and amusement.

"I also want to pluck some"

Kaushalya looked at Mriganka with alien eyes."Bhabhi have you never plucked fresh vegetables from farm?"

"Noooooooooo"

Kaushalya gasped.

"No problem I have done it since my childhood.I will help youuu"

"Okayyy"

Mriganka was going to run when Kaushalya saw Vijay holding her elbow.

"Aaram se beta...bhag kyu rahi hai"

(Take it easy,beta...why are you running)

Kaushalya saw Vijay held his pregnant wife from behind and escorted her towards the vegetables.Kaushalya admired them a lot and how openly Vijay expressed his love for her.Kaushalya was admiring them when she felt his hands hands around her waist.It was her husband.She looked towards her cousins.

"Dev and Vibhu are present over here...not in front of kids please"

"Dev Vibhu chalo tumhe Ghar chor aata hu tumhari mummiya pareshan ho rahi hain"

(Dev Vibhu let me take you back home your mother's are worried.)

"Kuch bol rahi thi kya chachi ji"

(Was chachi ji saying something)

Satyendra just swayed his head.

"Nahi hum didi ke sath jayenge"

(No we will go along with sister)

"Didi baad me aayengi pehle tumlog ko ghar chor aata hu mai"

(Your sister will come later firstly I will drop you two home)

"Hum log bhi ghar chalte hain" Kaushalya said in between.

(We should also go home)

"Wait here Kaushi"

Kaushalya gave him her dadi's medicines.He took the kids along with him.On the way he laughed hearing their talks "Are you here to kidnap our sister?"

"Do they sell chand sitara in Jaipur?"

"How does didi wear clothes when her clothes are kept here"

"Where does didi sleep when her bed is still in her room?" He was answering all their childish questions.

He dropped them home.

.

"Bhabhi your farm is so beautiful.I want to sleep here" Mriganka said excitedly plucking tomatoes and smelling them.

"Bhabhi in the season of mustard it looks even more beautiful"

"Really I want to see it...Vijay(she looked towards her husband) will you bring me here again?"

He kissed her forehead and said nothing.Kaushalya saw her dropped face.

"Bhabhi you can come here along with me.We will build a home at a farm of this sort and we will cook food in open fresh air"

"Yes we will cook food"

Vijay laughed listening this statement from his wife.

"Why are you laughing bhaiya?"Kaushalya asked.

"Nothing bhabhi my wife here is pro at cooking.You tell her the dish and she will put the dish at fire with her skills"

"Wow bhabhi you are so good at cooking"

"No bhabhi she burns the dish and the kitchen."

Mriganka elbowed him.

"Bhabhi you teach me I will learn"Mriganka asked Kaushalya.

"Ofcourse bhabhi I will teach you"

And they both started plucking vegetables.

Kaushalya was telling Mriganka which vegetable is ready to be plucked.They were gelling up together so well.

"BHABHI YOUR HANDS ARE SO BEAUTIFUL DONT RUIN THEM BY PLUCKING VEGETABLES...IT WILL BECOME DIRTY" Kaushalya said to Mriganka as she saw Mriganka had applied nailpaint and wore expensive rings in her fingers.

"Bhabhi I will wash it no problem...where to keep them?"

"I tied it in my saree...wait let me bring a pail." Kaushalya ran to bring pail and she heard Mriganka's scream.Kaushalya turned around and blushed seeing them.She lowered her eyes turned around and ran from there.

"Everything fell down because of you Vijayyy" Mriganka whined she was in her husband's embrace.Vijay was holding her to himself his hands caressing her back and clutching her tightly to himself peppering kisses on her forehead.

"We have to give these vegetables at bhabhi's home.Why are you destroying their labour?"

"Sunflower...my pretty one...these vegetables won't be eaten by anyone other than me or you...you have plucked them from your own hands...I won't let anyone have the taste of it...I will cook it for my Queen."

"Really Vijay???"

"Yes my babyflower "

She hugged him tightly.

"Vijay...I will cook food for you daily...I will learn"

He kissed her palm.

"You don't need to, my sunflower"

"Vijayyyy mai yaha twirl karu aap meri photographs logee?"

(Vijay will you click my photographs if I twirl around here?)

"Go...but carefully twirl karna tez nhi dheere dheere"

(But be careful don't twirl around fastly...be slow)

She nodded her head and he started taking her photographs.After a series of photoshots, she ran towards him stretching her arms and he clicked her pictures.Atlast he lowered down his right hand and by his left hand captured her and twirled her around single handedly.Her giggles her laughs her everything mesmerizes him.They both were lost in each other.

Kaushalya saw the two from a distance, a craving in her erupted to be loved by someone like this - like Vijay loves Mriganka.

She was watching them from a distance when she saw her husband he was clicking Mriganka and Vijay's pictures from a distance.

One thing she has noticed he loves clicking photographs.She was watching him from a distance when his eyes moved towards hers.She lowered down her eyes as if she has been caught commiting a crime.

Satya ran towards her and stood in front of her taking the support of the railing.He was standing leaning his chest to the railing looking at her with a warm smile - "What are you doing here biwi?"

"I came here to take a pail."

"And I came here to take you"

She smiled, her cheeks turned red, this was all new for her.

They heard loud giggles and their eyes went to the couple dancing in the fields.

"The pail is really not needed.The vegetables are plucked by bhabhi he will carry it in his own hands rather than letting any ordinary pail or any diamond studded container touch it."

"They love each other so much" she said admiring them.

"Yeah love birds.Aren't we love birds?"

"Are we?Are we in love ?" She asked.

"What do you think?" He asked.

"I don't know there's no violin or songs playing around"

"Hahaha do you really think love is what movies show?"

"I don't know"

"What you know Kaushi?"

"Why didn't you push that woman away from you ?You could have easily done that and..."

"And??"

"And why did you choose me when you had so many women at the snap of your fingers...I know about your years long dating history and the high profile women you have dated.What is your intention behind this marriage because mine are very pure"

Satyendra looked at her amused he didn't expect such a heavy mature sentence from her.

"I don't have any answer to "why" I chose you for marriage and not any other person but yaa I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE ELSE AS YOUR HUSBAND OTHER THAN ME...WHEN FIRST TIME I SAW YOU I IMAGINED YOU BESIDE ME...JUST THE THOUGHT OF ANY OTHER MAN BEING IN YOUR LIFE AS YOUR 'MAN' SCARES ME...AND I CAN NEVER EVER EVER EVEN IMAGINE THAT...I will be a loyal man...my loyalty lies to you madam...it is an arrange marriage which I fixed taking your family's permission.My men did some mistake and Meenakshi's drama happened I am sorry for that but our family's agreed for this alliance."

She found honesty in his voice.Her heart wanted to listen that he loves her but she was happy with the honesty he gave the answer.

She nodded her head.

"We should give them privacy"she said.

"We should get some privacy" he replied.

"When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow "

"Really!!!Not today?" She asked happily.

"Now my wife was busy in playing hide & seek so I thought why not join her for a day."

She laughed "Ghar pe sab gussa honge na?"

(Everyone must be angry at home.Isn't it?"

"Kisi ki itni himmat nahi meri biwi par gussaye"

(No one has the courage to be angry at my wife)

He said and pulled her towards  himself holding her waist...her belly collided with the railing in between them.

"No one dares to be angry at my wife...only I can" he said huskily near her lips. "Missed me?" He asked.

Kaushalya's mouth opened a little and closed.

"Please leave me anyone can see this.Please...leave" she said trying to push him away.

"Ayyy don't push my li'l calf otherwise I will bang you in the

dairy you were talking about that day.You are supposed to be a cute li'l calf stop trying to be a cow with horns."

"I am not a cow" She said scrunching her nose.The creases on her forehead showed her dislike towards his comment.

"Definitely you aren't my li'l calf.Give birth to my li'l babies...I would love to see my cross breeded babies...and then you'll become a mumma cow."

Her face flushed listening his words.She looked down smiling hearing his words.

"Kaushiii"

She looked up at her husband.

"I am sorry Kaushi.I tried pushing that woman but she was coming towards me again and again.Her lipstick marks were on my shirt when she fell on me and I didn't want you to see it.My loyalty lies to you.This marriage - is just between us...it's always going to be you Kaushalya and no one else....I promise this - you are the woman of my life...I have only one wife and that's you...my family is very important for me and you are my family."

"What if any other woman comes in your life?"

"If any other woman comes in my life you will definitely leave me...and if you leave me and find someone else...fuck NOO...YOU ARE MY WOMAN AND NOW MY WIFE...I NEED NOBODY AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU BESIDE ME...

Mrs.KAUSHALYA SATYENDRA RANA...

THIS IS YOUR NAME NOW...I FEEL SO LUCKY THAT MY NAME IS ADDED BEHIND YOURS.I FEEL GRATEFUL FOR THIS AND I AM NOT EXAGGERATING I AM BEING HONEST ABOUT IT."

Kaushalya was speechless after hearing him.She blinked her eyes rapidly but didn't find words to express herself at that moment.

"Kaushiiiii"...."You can share to me anything that you want....you have complaints...complaint to me...it does not matter about whom it is - it includes me too...if you are not okay with something I want you to be expressive about it to me...I want you to communicate to me and I will communicate to you if something bothers me."

"Okay"

.

Flashforward starts:-

"Mummy....mom" Kaushalya heard.

"Yes Khyati coming" she replied.

"Will you leave me now?Khyati is calling me.She has come back from school."

"How's her studies going on?"

"It's going well"

"I want her to crack medical exams.Make sure she is provided with everything."

"She uses phone all day.I don't know what all day she does in that phone.Whenever I ask her what are you doing?Her reply is I am studying through videos but I find something suspicious.These days she is coming late from school and tutions.Keep a watch on this girl.I don't want her to get distracted by any nonsense at the peak of her studies."

"Hmm...I will talk to her...It's teenage, children of this age tend to be distracted by love and all...guiding them towards right path is necessary.Don't allow her to go anywhere unnecessarily.Let her focus on her studies"

"Hmm."

Kaushalya gathered her hair tying it in a bun.Her saree's pallu was on the floor.She picked up her pallu and kept on her shoulders plating them.Satya held her waist from behind and she gasped blushing "Aap humesha aise kyu karte hain?"

(Why do you always do this?)

"Aur tum (he tightened his hold on her pulling her more closer to his chest) humesha aise kyu sharmati ho jaise maine pehli baar tumhe chua ho"

(And why do you ((he tightened his hold on her pulling her more closer to his chest) always blush as if I have touched you first time.)

"Mummyyyy"

"Aa gayi kaam kar rahi hoon....uniform change karo mai khana nikaalti hu"

(Just coming I am working...change your uniform I am bringing lunch)

"Thik hai" she heard her daughter.

(Okay)

"Suniye ab bass kijiye choriye...mera bacha bhukha hai..use khana khila du"

(Listen now stop this and leave me...my kid is hungry..I am going to feed her)

He kissed her nape..."Jaiye madam jaiye"

(Go madam ho)

She adjusted her saree and went out.

"Kya kya hua aaj school me?" she asked Khyati.

(What all happened in school today?)

"Aaj ka din bohot tiring tha...wo dayan biology teacher aayi nahi, uski jagah dusri dayan teacher aa gayi thi"

(Today's day was very tiring...instead of that witch biology teacher, another witch teacher came)

"KHYATI" Kaushalya shouted at her.

"There's a respect that you should always give to your teacher.Have I taught you this?"

"No"

"Don't dare to use such words for your teacher again.Whether you like the teacher or not it doesn't matter but you shouldn't stop respecting her...she is imparting you knowledge and you have the audacity to badmouth her.Change your uniform and eat your lunch"

"Okay mummy sorry but that teacher never teaches in class.She just scolds unnecessarily to everyone and at last moment she covers syllabus somehow.I don't like that teacher."

"If she isn't teaching in class ask those topics in tutions."

"Yes I ask"

"Do you understand what they teach in coaching?"

"Yes I do."

Khyati saw her father coming down from the stairs.

"Papaaa...the buckle of my shoes broke again."

"Kaise jungli janwar ki tarah shoes pehente ho tum bhai behen..sham ko new lene chali jana"

(Why do you and your siblings wear shoes like wild animals?Go in the evening to buy new ones.)

"Par meri extra class hai aaj mujhe pehen kar jana hai fir tution jaungi aur kal mera test hai..mai nahi jaungi aaj new lene...aap bana do shoes"

(But I have an extra class today, I have to wear them and then I'll go to tuition, and tomorrow is my test... I won't go to buy new shoes today... you make my shoes.)

"Dikhaao mujhe" Satya said.

(Show me)

He took his daughter's shoes..."Kaise jaanwar jaise pehenti ho tum joota...dekh rahi ho Kaushi isne joote ki sole tak tod di hai...buckle toh bechara fir bhi kismatwala tha jo itne din tak zinda raha"

(How do you wear shoes like an animal...See, Kaushi, she has even broken the sole of the shoe...The buckle was fortunate to have survived for so long.)

Kaushalya laughed.

"Abhi ye new shoes liya hai iske liye...maine char dilwaye the isne charo cheh mahine ke andar tod diye"

(I just bought these new shoes for her...I had bought four pairs, and she broke all four within six months.)

"Kisi gareeb pariwar me humlogo ke bache paida hote toh ye sab ka kaam kaise chaltaa" Satya huffed.

(If our children were born in a poor family, how would they manage all this?)

"Aao khana khane Khyati "

(Come eat food Khyati)

Khyati sat at the table to have her lunch and she picked up her phone and started typing something on phone.Satya stood behind her and peeked inside her phone.She was searching Doraemon's episode.

Satyendra sat beside her and joined her.He started watching Doraemon too with his daughter.

"Hai bada pyara dost humaara Doraemon"

(He is our very dear friend, Doraemon.)Khyati sang the hook song.

"Aap bhi iske sath shuru ho gaye...TV me dekh lo Doraemon pure time aata hai...phone me dekhna hai tumko sirf"

(You've also started with this... Doraemon comes on TV all the time... you only want to watch it on your phone.)

"Ye episode zaroori thodi TV pe aaye mujhe yahi wala episode dekhna hai"Khyati replied.

(This episode doesn’t necessarily have to air on TV today, I just want to watch this particular episode.)

Kaushalya glared at Satyendra signalling him.

"Aree dekhne do ye episode shuru ho gya hai...iske baad TV pe dekh legi"

(Let her watch this episode, it has started...after this, we'll watch it on TV)

"Iske baad sone jayegi...fir extra class ke liye jaana hai fir tution jaana hai...fir test ke liye padhna hai...rest bhi chahiye body ko...machine thodi hai"

(After this, she’ll go to sleep...then she has to go for extra classes, then tuition, then study for the test...her body needs rest...it’s not a machine)

Satyendra - Khyati TV pe connect kar lo phone.

(Khyati, connect the phone to the TV.)

Khyati connected her phone and they started watching the episode on TV.Kaushalya also joined them to have lunch.Everything was going fine until a WhatsApp notification peeped on TV "City of whores:Khyati up for tomorrow's plan? What will you lie at home? Extra class or something else?"

Khyati quickly slided the notification.

Satyendra and Kaushalya both saw the notification and read the message on it.Kaushalya didn't waste a minute "Give me your phone Khyati"

"Mummy it's nothing...just a random GC"

"What's a GC now?"

"Group chat"

"Khyati give the phone"

"Giving" Khyati was scared to give her phone to her mother but Kaushalya took it from her and opened her WhatsApp.

"What's wrong with the name of this group chat?" Kaushalya said sternly.

"Open the chats Kaushi...what are you doing in school(Satya to khyati)you go to do this business in school or to study"

They opened the group chat and they were horrified reading the messages.

The vulgar and foul language used by her friends enraged them.They saw Khyati's responses which weren't that foul.She didn't use that foul language while her friends used it.But there was a sticker that she had forwarded in which it was written "Behenchod party zindabad"(Sisterfucker party rocks) and a message where she has written "Miss Arora needs to have sex once in a week.Frustration kam hoga uska.(Her frustration will reduce)" And her likes and laughing emojis on the foul messages of her friends infuriated her parents.Khyati knew she is a gone case.

A tight slap and the clinking of bangles echoed in the hall.

"What are you learning?Is this what you are studying in school?This is what you are doing in the name of studying taking phone all day in hand and typing such disgusting messages."

Khyati was crying because of the slap.

"WHO IS THIS SHIKHAR ????WHY HAS HE SENT YOU THE MESSAGE OF I MISS YOU BABE...Kaushi see this girl...WHO IS THIS BOY KHYATI?"

"Papa he is just a friend"

Kaushalya slapped her again.

"Just a friend is sending you the message of miss you babe..whom are you trying to fool"

Satyendra "Your daughter is learning situationship...look at the chats Kaushi"

Kaushalya took the phone and started reading the messages of that boy.With each passing second as they were scrolling up the messages their rage was rising.

Satyendra stood up finally now Khyati was scared because her mother's slaps are not that harsh as compared to her father. "Papa sorry" but she recieved a smack on her head and Satyendra threw her phone..it struck the wall and fell down breaking the screen.

A series of slaps echoed in the hall and Khyati's cries grew louder and louder.

"This is what you are learning in school."

"Sorry papa...sorry papa...sorry..sorry" she was continuously screaming.

"For whom am I working hard all day and night?Why are we providing you with the best so that you achieve something good in your life...so that you become a renowned doctor...so that you make a life of your own where you will be respected, your life will be sorted...your elder brother is a businessman, younger one is a cricketer and what are you doing?"

"Are we putting our toil and labour for this?" Kaushalya barked at her daughter.

"Your mother wakes up everyday in the morning at four...prepares breakfast for you from her own hands so that you get the best food...she never lets cook prepare the meal...she always makes it for you...always takes care of your schedule...always keeps a check that you get the best environment for studying...she makes sure you are okay...she takes care of you...she actively engages in your life, in your academics, leaving her comfort.If she wants she can go out and party leaving you on your own terms but no...she takes care of even your minute problems and this is what you are doing behind our back in the name of studies.In which class are you?In eleventh???Is eleventh the age to do all this business.You know at our time we were only interested in studies and nothing else and definitely we were not involved in all this"

Khyati quietly sobbed..."Sorry mummy papa"

"Eat your food and sleep...I will go to drop you for your extra classes and then coaching.Kaushi now you are going to accompany her for her school, extra classes and tution...go along with driver to pick her up and drop her...I won't tolerate this nonsense and give your phone to study...no personal phone from now on...she doesn't deserve it"

Satyendra said and walked towards his room leaving his lunch.

Kaushalya stopped him "Eat your lunch don't skip it...come back" she said to her husband.Satyendra was not in mood but he sat down again.The hall was in a tensed silence.

Khyati was also eating food but she was just mixing the morsels and not actually having lunch.

Kaushalya smacked her back "Eat fastly and sleep."

"It's time for extra class" she replied.

"No need to attend today...ask your friends what was taught...taking rest is important...is it any important class?"

"No I will study it in tution" Khyati replied.

"Okay eat food and take rest."

"Full time she uses phone" Satyendra said in anger.

"I told you we need to keep an eye on this girl...what is she doing...Rudraksh and Dhanush are goal - oriented.I had to never run behind them for anything,they used to do everything on their own but behind this girl I have to run all the time."

"My decision to not send her to hostel was right.If we will not look after her what will she outside the house...she easily falls in bad influence."

"That's why I told you to keep her with me...seen her??She doesn't know how to take care of her either...leave about bad influence...mummy shoes are broken...my copy is wet because of rain...mummy I slipped today my skirt is torn...mummy I forgot to do my chemistry homework...mummy I forgot I had to buy world map for geography...she is careless everytime....EAT AND DONT CRY KHYATI OTHERWISE I WILL BEAT YOU INTO A PULP...WE HAVE SEEN ENOUGH OF YOUR NONSENSE TODAY"

When Khyati didn't stop crying, Kaushalya smacked her head lightly.

"EAT WITHOUT CRYING" Kaushalya said sternly,her eyes grew big in anger.

Rudraksh and Dhanush came inside the gloomy hall.

"What happened why so silent and why is she crying?" Dhanush asked.

Rudraksh saw the broken phone lying on the floor and he understood it must be something related to phone.He picked up the phone.Its screen was broken but still it was working.

Rudraksh - What has she done?

Kaushalya looked at her daughter then replied "Look at her phone, you will understand."

Rudraksh asked Khyati to unlock her phone.She wasn't doing it out of fear.

"OPEN IT" Shouted Rudraksh.

She flinched but opened it.

He saw whatsapp chats were already opened and he started going through the messages.He kept himself calm and opened her instagram...he saw her I'd and the posts.He passed the phone to Dhanush who didn't react anything in front of his parents.

"Mummy let us handle her.And keep contacts of all her teachers.From now onwards they will write us about the classes and the timetable.She won't step out of the house for anything else." Rudraksh was firm.

"Mummy keep her in front of your eyes always.She is ruining herself.And no personal phone to her" Dhanush imposed.

Kaushalya went inside to bring lunch for her sons.

Satyendra asked Rudraksh "Is she involved in much worse things?

"Yes...look at her insta posts but I don't want to show mom"

Satyendra saw the posts and his mind clouded again in rage .

A harsh slap landed on Khyati's face again.

"NO BOYS Khyati...they can be your class friends but not boyfriends."SATYENDRA WARNED.

"STAY AWAY FROM BOYS KHYATI" RUDRAKSH SAID."DAD LET ME DEAL WITH HER TODAY" HE TOOK HIS SISTER WITH HIM AND DHANUSH CAME BEHIND.

THEY LOCKED THE ROOM.A scared girl crying "KHYATI ANSWER ME TRUTHFULLY"

"IS HE YOUR BOYFRIEND?" RUDRAKSH interrogated.

She was hesitant.

"No.."

"KHYATI WE WILL TELL EVERYTHING TO MOM AND DAD WHATEVER WE SAW ON INSTA....SO TELL THE TRUTH"

Khyati cried holding her cheeks.

"Yes bhaiya he is"

Rudraksh wanted to slap her so hard but he kept his calm and sat down in front of her.

"Khyati home tutions or no tutions?Choose one"

"Bhaiya I am sorry"

"Khyati home tutions or no tutions"

"Home tutions"

"Alright...I will bring the best teachers for you...but looking at your shenanigans I won't allow you to be out unsupervised even for a second."

She nodded her head.Kaushalya knocked the door.Dhanush opened it.She had tears in her eyes but she didn't speak a word.

"Jao khana Khao tum dono...mai ise khilati hu khana."

(Go and have your meal you two..I will feed her)

"Thik hai"

(Okay)

They know their mother she would beat them in anger but after that she would love them like a baby.

Kaushalya sat on the bed and started feeding her daughter, after that she wiped her mouth with her saree's pallu.

"Now sleep" she said softly.

She laid beside her daughter.After a minute, she caressed her daughter's cheeks where she slapped her and kissed it.

"Beta how can you accept such words for yourself.Do you know the meaning of whore that you used for yourself and your friends?Do you know what respect whores have in this society?You know how badly they are treated by society.They have no family...they spend their life in loneliness.I have raised you...I have given birth to you and I can never accept such a degrading word for my daughter.And what did you write about your teachers.Is this the respect they deserve?Always respect your teachers Khyati...always"

"I am sorry Mummyyyy..I am really sorry"

"When any of you do such things my heart breaks thinking I have failed as a mother and what have I taught my kids.You are precious to me...I am more attached to you...you are my only child whom I have seen growing at every phase of her life till now...your brother's left for hostel but you were there...after a year or two you will also go out to build your life and I want my daughter to be a strong one and not someone weak who doesn't know how to respect herself.I love you mera bacha...promise me you will never do something like this again and stay away from those friends of yours"

"Yes mummy I will" Khyati said full of guilt hearing her mother.

She hugged her daughter and sleep consumed them.Satyendra watched them, he quietly kissed his daughter's forehead and then of his wife and quietly slipped beside Khyati.Dhanush joined them and slept beside his mother and Rudraksh walked in sleeping at the foot of the bed horizontally.All of them slept together.

In two hours, they woke up and got back to their work.

.

In evening at tea time :-

"Am I a good mother?"

"You are a wonderful mother Kaushi.Khyati deserved the punishment.Sometimes children need harsh punishments and we are raising her right.We want her to grow and shine in her life and I am 100%sure she will.As parents we need to guide her so that she can be focussed towards her goal rather than being distracted by bad influences."

Kaushi nodded her head and sipped her tea.

"The tea is fantastic"

She nodded her head again.

"Your hair is growing white." She said.

"What to do?My kids dont let me take a relaxing sip of tea...they just do something or the other."

"Mummyyyy"

"Yes Danny "

"I am hungry"

"Eat these sprouts I have kept for you and then drink milk I will heat it up."

"Rudraaa...you hear music at very loud volume...your ear drums will be torn apart from all possible sides.Listen at lower volume."

"Okay mom" he said in style and went inside his home gym.

Satyendra and Kaushalya have come a long way.

Flashforward ends:-

.

.

Kaushalya - Chacha ji where are you taking these cardboards.

Worker - Bitiya I am shifting it in our godown.

Kaushalya - Wait a second.I will help you.

She tied all the cardboards on her bike with the help of worker and said to Satya "I am coming in two minutes." She started her bike and drove it off.

Satyendra kept watching his pro biker wife.After dropping the cardboards she came back and said "Come I will show you my village." She said.He sat behind her on bike when she didn't vacant the driver's seat.He sat beside her and held her and she started her bike.Vijay and Mriganka were in awe looking at them.

"Vijay I will drive a bike too.I will give you a ride like bhabhi is giving to bhaiya.They look so good together." Mriganka said excited clapping her hands.

"Sunflower you know how to drive me crazy and how to ride me when I am wild.This bike is nothing my sunflower." He said kissing her nape.

She blushed "So pretty my sunflower.You are glowing meri soorajmukhi(my sunflower)...my wife" he said kissing her lips and their eyes went to the couple on bike.

.

Satyendra's gaze wasn't shifting from his wife's face.She doesn't know but she is so cool.She has a personality to captivate everyone's mind.Her pallu on her head and her riding a bike blended well in his life.It was what he wanted and needed - a woman who knows how to follow traditions along with a strong progressive mindset.

.

They were back to Jaipur and Satyendra was leaving tomorrow for Delhi.He would take her with him after some days that was the plan.

Kaushalya was habitual of him in two weeks.Their fights their love making all moments were flashing in her eyes.He bid her goodbye.She waved him back.She couldn't express herself at that moment but when he left tears spilled from her eyes.She longed for him...in a matter of two weeks her life felt empty without his presence...Satya was going back but he felt as if he is leaving behind his everything here in Jaipur.He never felt like this for anyone...a feeling to constantly have her beside him...a feeling to grow with her and spend every second of his life with her...a feeling to share his smallest achievements and his biggest failures with her...it has become their routine to share the day's activities with each other at night before going to bed.

She missed him and he missed her.

She longed for his touch and he didn't want to be touched by anyone other than her.

The connection was building strong...their craving for each other was growing.
