Family matters

Abhishek was sleeping soundly at his side of his bed, right after getting mine wet.

How dare he.

I stormed back into the bathroom and brought with me a bucket of ice-cold water.

I came before Abhishek and poured it over his head. He jumped up in terror and looked at me.

"How dare you,"

He slapped the bucket from my hand.

I looked at his angry face and laughed

Abhishek looks so cute, when angry.

I picked up a pillow and left for my bedroom to sleep, Abhishek ran after me.

He got in right after I did and slammed the doors shut.

I turned over and saw him.

"Get out,"

I Sanctioned.

"Why should I, after all, this is my house and this room belongs to me,"

He holds his pillow tight.

"So, you'll want to sleep with me here as well, after getting the bed drenched?"

I said.

Abhishek nodded and replied in a word, I had no idea what he said neither did I get to care, I couldn't it get anymore, he wouldn't get me upset anymore.

The next morning, Abhishek and I shared the same bee last night, I woke up before he could, not because I was eagerly waiting to start the duties of a daughter-in-law but the fact that Mrs. Anuradha started with her incent powering around the house.

That smell.

I got outside and saw her. She passed my room door like ten times before leaving for the living room, the smell was mostly affected there

Avanti comes downstairs, and we both meet each other when her mom walks ahead to give her some offerings.

She took it and collected mine as well.

Abhishek woke up a minute later and met us downstairs,  he took the offering from his mom and saw mine.

Pinky joins in as well.

I looked back to my bedroom when Abhishek called me back, he took my hand and walked me close to his mother.

"Son, what's happening?"

Mrs . Anuradha passed the plate on the table.

"Mom, since you have a daughter-in-law, how about you pass the mansion Keys to her,"

He pulled out his hand to collect the keys. ....

Mrs. Anuradha walked her way up to her waist, dragged out a key, and passed it over to her son.

Abhishek took it and gave it to me.

"Congratulations, you now own everything?"

He winked at me and left.

I held the keys in my hands, and  Mrs. Anuradha came off hostile to the situation and swore to make me pay for all that I did.

Pinky took her to leave right after, Avanti walked ahead and congratulated me, she asked if I shouldn't take anything her mother had said to me.

I got back to my bedroom and my parents phoned me, they wanted to know when I would be going back home.

Do I tell them that I am now married to an Indian man and don't think I'll be coming back home anytime soon?

Abhishek called me downstairs after a While, he wanted me to prepare some dishes for the entire family.

He said it was the duty of the daughter-in-law of the family to prepare delicious meals for the entire family.

I wanted to speak up, but Avanti begged me not to do when our eyes met.

I walked back to my bedroom to rest, an hour later, I went downstairs to prepare the dish Abhishek wanted.

Avanti came to the kitchen with me to assist, I had no idea how Abhishek overheard our conversation and rebuked her for not assisting me no matter the cost.

Abhishek took control of everything, including my phone.

He says, that an Indian wife should at least know how to prepare an Indian dish.

Did he forget that I am not Indian?

I got everything started, I had the ingredients placed on the table for me.

Avanti paraded the kitchen, trying to talk me through the entire process.

Since Abhishek wanted me to prepare, Chana masala. Chickpea stew.

Palak paneer. Spinach curry with fresh cheese.

Chicken tikka masala. ...

Doughy, butter-brushed naan. ...

Crisp papadum. ...

Fish curry.

All this course's meal.  And he dares to take my phone.

I got each ingredient placed, all thanks to Avanti, she made sure I made everything on time.

It wasn't necessarily on time, but at least it was made.

Abhishek sent the maids to serve the food, while everyone sat down at the dining table, u stood at the center waiting to serve them.

Is this house a typical Indian wife does?

I served everyone a dish full of my food.

Abhishek takes a look at me before tasting the food, his eyes opened up in shock the moment it touched his tongue.

Mrs. Anuradha also went quiet and so did everyone, Avanti gave me a wink and continued eating, Abhishek saw that and decided to flare up.

He shuts at his sister for helping me.

Avanti looks at him.

"Abhishek, I never got into the kitchen, you can as well check the CCTV footage you placed inside the kitchen,"

She said.

Abhishek was watching me.

I turned back and glared at him, he got his head down and quietly excused him.

He didn't even finish his food, after slaving me inside the kitchen for the entire day.

Avanti and others left, too got into my bedroom to find the entire place messed up with Abhishek's clothes and work papers.

Doesn't he clean?

I turned around to call a maid when he walked inside the room.

A maid passed there, I pulled out my hands to call her, but Abhishek took my hand and shoved me inside.

"Don't tell me, you want the maids to clean up your bedroom,"

He walks ahead.

"Yes, after all, it's your things and not mine,"

I got out of his way to open the door.

Abhishek grabbed my hand again and slammed me to the wall.

"You're so stubborn why?."

He held my hand tight.

"Because you made me stubborn,".

I said and kicked him off.

Abhishek falls to the ground, grunting in pain, his mom dashes inside immediately and sees her son holding his tummy.

"Baby, are you okay?"

She said while ogling at me.

Abhishek nods his head as she seats him down on the bed.

I turned my head back and downstairs to get a glass of water.

I had no idea that Mrs. Anuradha followed me, she came jumping out with her hands almost making their way to my face.

"You want to kill my son, right?"

She takes away the glass of water I held and throws it inside the sink.

Pinky immediately came out of the room, they both surrounded me.

"I'm sorry, but, I'd love to go upstairs and get some rest, "

I looked away.

Pinky took out her hand and dragged me back to their gaze, that behavior of hers made me so angry.

I pulled up my hands and slapped her 

Abhishek came running outside at the same moment, she found me holding out my hands and pinky holding half of her face.

Avanti saw that while looking from her bedroom.

Mrs. Anuradha looked back and saw her son, she thought about lying to him again.

I was certain that Abhishek was going to retaliate the same way his mom, wanted him to, rather he gave Pinky a stern warning not to ever interfere in family matters again.

Pinky gets angry and leaves.

Did Abhishek just defend me, why is he?
