It was 7:30 in the morning, the birds chirping was heard as the Sun was fully rised giving some new hopes with its bright rays. But inside the Singhania mansion it was very quite the whole family was an early riser but today they all wished to stay in their respective room
At that very moment the maids who were cleaning the mansion looked at the stairs hearing footsteps and saw a tall 6'2 buffed chest huge giant descending the stairs knowing this was the daily routine the maids continued to work
Ayushman came downstairs and went to the kitchen of their Haveli (traditional townhouse/mansion) which was in Jodhpur and as a ritual the marriages would only take place in a traditional way in their traditional old yet new and royal Haveli which belonged to their ancestors
Surprisingly even Malhotra's Haveli wasn't far it was just 4-5 kilometers distance, after all Malhotra's and Singhania's have a very old relation. It was a saying that Shekhar's (Dadu) Grandfather was not in a good terms with Malhotra's before but later on to made a peace treaty with a promise that they would marry off their childrens with each other someday. No one knew when or who would though.
And today was the day the promise was completed which made the whole Jodhpur celebrate in joy as both royal families married each other even though they were no king but an most Important and Famous Business position was held by them only and its same till today as well
As Ayushman entered the kitchen he saw a girl in her night pink satin pyjamas and satin collar shirt as she stood infront of the counter making something
"Are my eyes okay? How come I saw you up so early in the morning when I clearly saw you going in the room after 3 at night for sure you won't be up till 4 in the evening, what you did with Kavya?" Said ayushman as he saw her making Maggie for herself while humming a song and in returned gave Ayushman a tight lipped smile which was fake,her face showed sarcasm in the smile
"Fuck off Ayush!" She showed him her middle finger rolling her eyes and back to her Maggie
"Anyways what are you doing here?" Ayushman again asked as moved to the fridge and took out yogurt, milk and some fruits
"I was hungry and so I couldn't sleep and came here, what are you doing with those stuff" Kavya asked looking at him who moved towards the kitchen counter and took out a mixer jar to put the ingredients for smoothie
"Mi- Samriddhi is hungry" Ayushman bit his tongue as he continued his work not paying attention to Kavya knowing she will get all information our from his mouth
"Wait then take Maggi for her as well" Taking out another plate Kavya was about to serve
"No she says that she can't eat early in morning, she throws up unlike you who eats junk in the morning" He heard a scoff from the other side as a smirk crept on his face
"Anyways how was your night, is she shy or what? I can't see any hickeys or love bites on you, not even swollen lips cmon yaar Ayush!" Kavya said making him look at her as she teases him but knowing her well he slaps her hand which was holding his chin forcing him to looking at her while shaking his head
"Look who's saying, I bet you and Abhinav still haven't touched each other" He says smirking back at her as now Kavya who was bold and smirking at him to tease was a blushing mess and her red cheeks heated up
Kavya pouts while looking away "s-shut up you idiot" She said and immediately took her plate of Maggie running away from the kitchen
Soon the smoothie was ready, Ayushman kept the glass on the tray and took it walking upstairs back to his room
Just when he opens the door he sees Samriddhi eyes darken and hands formed in a fist but shrugged off thinking she still might be angry and not wanting to be the Bali ka bakra (Scapegoat) he didn't say or talk to her
He puts the tray on the table and goes back to the bed to get his precious sleep pulling the covers over himself
Where as Samriddhi was burning in anger, she was angry on herself she kidnapped him a few weeks ago and now again he is gone. But she and him both knows that he can't run away from her
She saw Ayushman laying on the bed and sleeping as she drank the smoothie looking out of the window
She then texted Mihir to be here in Singhania mansion with Bruno saying she misses him. Slowly pulling the covers which was on the couch to her carefully not wanting to crumble her ironed saree she sits on the couch resting for sometime and checking through her mails
...
Time skip:-
The sun was now burning bright hot in winter afternoon making the whole mansion light up as everyone giggles and laughter was heard
Everyone was up by 12 just as Ayushman said, Ruchi was handling the kitchen and making lunch for everyone but specially for her Newly wedded Daughter-In-Law, she made all her favorites she was preparing for this day only and discussing all her favorites with Rashmi be it a color or food or clothing, Ruchi wanted to know her daughter in-law's in and out everything she didn't wanted to make her feel like Samriddhi is missing her family or uncomfortable with the new environment around her
While on other hand Abhiraj has cancelled every schedule for today and strictly ordered everyone not go to work. And himself went to get his Daughter-In-Law's favorite Kaju katli for her from her favorite shop
[Kaju katli is an Indian sweet dish made of cashew slice]
Abhijeet and Shalini were helping and busy working with the labour who was here to get out all the decorations which was done for marriage
Abhinav was helping Kavya to decorate the Rangoli in almost every corner of the Haveli while doing some romance in between and soon Kavya and Abhinav were replacing the decorations for The Elder Daughter-In-Law's first day in order to welcome her
Janvi on other hand was helping her mother in kitchen and setting the dining table while also helping Abhinav and Kavya with few decorations here and there
Aarav was busy in wrapping gifts for her Samriddhi Bhabhi which was given by every member of the house except Ayushman, Aarav had a pile of gifts pending when he saw a delivery guy standing near the entrance with a 2 big boxes and realised that he ordered some books for her bhabhi. He soon finished wrapping the gifts and went to a room which already had shelf's ready as he started putting in books in the racks knowing well that his Bhabhi loves reading books he also placed a study desk and couch in that room for her.
While on other hand Suhasini (Dadi) was rearranging her already arranged jewelries which she specially designed and made for new Elder Grand-Daughter-In-Law to give her and soon went to help Ruchi in the kitchen. She wanted to give Samriddhi everything she wanted and would make sure it will happen according to her
Shekhar(Dadu) was rechecking a file on laptop and then printed out some papers before signing them. He opened his locker which was forbidden for everyone that was in his study and took out a pocket watch which was gifted by his father and now he wanted to give Samriddhi that knowing that she loved this watch when she visited his study with him and saw this watch which stole her heart and the very moment. And according to Dadu "What she wants she gets" was his words.
......................................................................................
And here when every other family member is working Ayushman is sleeping peacefully and Our Samriddhi who was so engrossed in her laptop working unknown of the time flinches when her phone rings
She picks it up seeing Mihir calling her and saying he is here asking her to come downstairs, Samriddhi closes her laptop and walks towards the bed to wake Ayushman who was sleeping with an open mouth his hands and legs spread all over the bed, he does look really tired bit he had to wake him up
Just when she was about to she heard the door knocking as she goes to open the door and sees Her Mother-In-Law with spatula in her hands her saree pallu tucked in her waist as she sees her Daughter in-law
"Hayee meri Bachhi kitni sundae lag rahi hai, kisi ki nazar na lag jaye" She said before coming in and cupping her face in her hands while the other went to her eyes taking the Kohl in her ring finger and applying putting a small dot behind her ears to prevent her from evil eyes before kissing her forehead lovingly
(Hey my baby girl is looking so beautiful, don't let anyone's evil eye on you)
Her Saree
"Thankyou Mumma" Samriddhi smiled at her Mother in-law yea she started addressing her as mumma because she remembers very clearly how she got scolded 2 months back while shopping for the wedding
"Hey Bhagwaan! Yeh ladke ko bhi aaj he itna sona tha varna toh office Jane ke liye sabse pehle yehi uthta hai, dekho kese Godhe bech ke soo rah hai" Ruchi face palmed herself looking at her son who was sleeping like no tomorrow
(Hey! God! This boy also had to sleep only this much today, otherwise he wakes up first to go to office, see how he is sleeping after selling his horses.)
[Godhe bech ke sona is a saying or a phrase I don't know what I translated but yea please don't ask me, just goggle it y'all :') ]
Ruchi went towards the bed and looked at her son who was sleeping without minding the world she shakes him a little but that huge man wasn't even budging at end she switched on the air-condition and decreased the temperature to 17Ā° and pulled his blanket from him
Soon Ayushman was feeling cold as he looked here and there to find his blanket only to notice Samriddhi who was controlling her laugh, his gaze then slowly travelled to the woman beside his bed with her hands on hip and spatula ready to beat him any moment
"Ayushman Abhiraj Singhania! do you even know you bring your wife yesterday and instead of giving her company and taking care of her you are sleeping, now Go and get freshen up quick! Do let me repeat the same thing because next time I will call your dadi to get you out of your bed" Ruchi said and sighed looking at Ayushman who sprinted out of his bed and flies off the bathroom making Samriddhi chuckle as she adores the duo
"Beta you come with me hm? Everyone one is waiting for you let's go" she said as Samriddhi nodded and went behind her
As soon as Samriddhi step downstairs she was attacked by a well build up animal who jumped on her licking her all over her face making her giggle as rest of the family watches it while adoring them
Bruno had teary eyes as he saw Samriddhi who crouched down to his level and pulling him on her lap while hugging him, hugging her back Bruno whines when she was pulling back so having no option she just picked him up in her arms
"Such a spoil brat you are" a scoff was heard by Mihir who seem to jealous of the affection he was getting by her very own sister making Singhania's and Malhotra's laugh at him sulking
Samriddhi then went to touch the feet of elders to greet them but instead was hugged by Suhasini and Shekhar "Bahu aur Betiyaan Lakshmi ka roop hoti hai aur humare yaha Lakshmi kisi ke pair nai chuthi balki inke pair toh humme chune chaiye" Shekhar said and was about to touch her legs but Samriddhi hugged him tight refraining him to do so as he in return smiling and patted her head
(Daughter in-law and daughters are form of goddess Lakshmi and in our place Lakshmi never touches anyone's feet instead we should worship their's)
"Now come here Samriddhi" Suhasini said after a while and took Samriddhi in the kitchen, Bruno was walking on her tail like protecting her from the unfamiliar house
"Today is your First Rasoi, What are you going to make then" Shalini asked smiling at the girl who was surprised by the food that was kept in the kitchen already served in pots
"I was thinking to make Gajar ka Halwa, but are we having some guests?" She asked surprised at the food and decorations of the house
The ladies chuckle at her astonished look "Is there any festival going and I don't know about it?" She asked again only to hear a laugh from kitchen entrance
"Singhania ki Bahu ka welcome kisi festival se kam nai hai Bhabhi" Kavya walked and stood beside Samriddhi who was still processing the fact how the whole mansion changed its look in just a few hours and was decorated with lights, Rangoli on almost every corner of the house, flowers and roses. It seems like a festival to her.
(Singhania's daughter in-law's welcome is no less than a festival, Bhabhi)
"Exactly now let's leave everyone and Samriddhi everything you would need you can ask kavya she will help you okay" Ruchi smiled making Samriddhi too smile back at her
"Finally I got alone time with my Bhabhi! You know I was waiting for you from 20 years" this made Samriddhi frown at Kavya who excitedly says
"20 years? Why?" Samriddhi chuckles a bit looking back at her while taking out some carrots
Kavya takes the carrots from Samriddhi and started to grate it into this pieces "Yea because you were the only one for Ayush! He listens to you only and I have seen that, also he have some trust issues I hope you will help to cope up with that and trust me no matter how arrogant looking he might be but he has a soft spot in his heart and you just have to break that wall, please help him Bhabhi he is too scared to trust anyone"
Samriddhi freezes on her spot as she listens to her who was begging her and an unknown feeling rushed inside her which she doesn't know. How can she make him believe in love when she herself doesn't believe in that, how can she make him trust when she herself have trust issues, how can she get him out of his trauma when she herself has buried her trauma deep inside her daily waking up with nightmares, at some point she feels that she is no different from Ayushman which makes her pity
The moment was filled with an awkward silence as Kavya didn't uttered a single word after seeing how Samriddhi expression changed it was like she was thinking something very deep, A sudden bark made her escape from her trance kavya looked at Bruno and smiled as he comes and sits beside Samriddhi's legs like protecting her from now the monster inside her
Samriddhi have thanked Bruno a lot of times and everytime is less for what he have done, she came out of her depression only because Bruno was on her side, she had told him everything that happened to her and he have seen her cry and wipe her tears away and only he knows the truth inside her, she can't tell anyone because she doesn't have a courage to look at her loved one's broken because of her. Bruno was special to her in every way and if anything happens to him she would lose everything that she have.
Just like the Moon Goddess have the Moon Rabbit as her companion, it was tale when the Moon Goddess came on earth disguised like a beggar and asked the rabbit for some food but as rabbit couldn't offer anything expect the grass he asked the Moon Goddess to built a fire and when done he threw himself into the flames to provide food to the her and seeing the generous act of the rabbit the Moon Goddess pulled that rabbit with herself to moon and became her companion, it feels like the Moon Goddess has sent her Companion to her in form of Bruno.

The sweet dish was ready as Samriddhi served it in a big pot and kept it in the tray, Kavya took the tray and went outside of the kitchen to keep it on the dining as everyone lined up to the dining for having her first handmade dish of their daughter in law
Shekhar but obvious was the first one to jump on the dining followed by Abhijeet "ohh god let her come too, have some patience you both" Ruchi yelled at them who were acting like kids
"Sorry Bhabhi but I can't control" Said Abhijeet and sat on his chair followed by a sulking Shekhar beside him. Just then everyone hear the heels clicking on the marble floor and Samriddhi came with another tray followed by Bruno of course and maids behind him with more trays which was prepared by Ruchi for lunch
Samriddhi served everyone her Sweet dish and sat beside Ayushman serving herself. She looked around to get everyone's reaction who hold a serious expression
Getting nervous She then looked at her parents who too had a serious expression way too far for her to handle she saw Rehan looking away from her which made her more nervous every passing second and just then everyone heard Mihir coughing out loud, now she had enough
"Why is it too salty?" Suhasini asked making Samriddhi's eyes widened
"But dadi I clearly remember putting sugar" "taste yourself" this time it was Rashmi who said in a stern tone, it would be an understatement to say that Samriddhi wasn't scared
She picked her spoon up and took a bit of Her Gajar ka Halwa as soon as she kept the spoon in her mouth the food melted in her mouth and its sweet dripping taste covered her every corner of mouth
Samriddhi heard everyone laughing their heart out. "You got pranked" Ayushman whispered to her shaking his head a bit
Samriddhi fake glared at everyone squinting her eyes and looked away being fake angry with her family "I nearly had a mini heart attack" was all she said and pouted at everyone
"I am sorry Bhabhi but your expression" Aarav burst into laughter again bit soon yelped as he found his ears being twisted
"I know it was your idea and dare you do this next time I am warning you I will put chilis in your food" Samriddhi said as she was sitting beside him making everyone laugh again
Soon the lunch was over and everyone gave her the gifts they had prepared for her first rasoi. Bruno would be staying at Singhania Mansion only from now on as it is really hard for him to leave Samriddhi and Malhotra's too bid their goodbyes. It was evening and as planned Samriddhi made an excuse to leave the house and took Bruno with her
They both reached to the warehouse where her prey was kept, Bruno went inside and smelled the whole area while Samriddhi stood there with her men and womans who worked for her. Bruno knowing the smell very well ran outside telling them the directions on where he could go.
It was a very old abundant building with 4 floors where no one lived and looking at Bruno going inside she alerted everyone taking out their weapons. They reached the third floor in some apartment.
There stood a guy in his Mid 30's looking out of the window back facing her but before she could do anything her mens and womans were captured by his Well build up men's. She was now captured by him again.
