Pinning Preet against the pillar, Veer looks at her with a glare. She also glared back with a cute angry face.
"You will not touch any work from now on, understand?" she puffs her cheek showing her resistance.
"Preet!! " He called her sternly, making her sigh loudly.
"You can't do that. I love doing things for our family," she softly said.
"Your thought is enough that you care for them. And we have servants in our house for a reason. I can't see my wife getting insulted in front of everyone just because she cares too much about others," He told her looking at her face.
"I will just hel-" she tried to make him understand.
"I am not hearing anything. Still, if you want to go against then go ahead I won't stop you. But think from my point of view. I can't go and insult Choti Ma back because she and Chote Papa have done so much for me. They raise me after my parents. Also, I can't tolerate her hurting you. So for the sake of my peace, just hear me this time and try to stay away from her. She is not bad but her behavior with you is something I appreciate. Think of it as my request," Preet look at his face and cup his face.
"Don't say like this, Veer. I will do whatever you say," she said and smile at him.
"Just don't be sad," She whispered hugging him gently.
She looks at his face and perks his lips while still wrapping her arms around his torso.
"You don't look good while requesting," he raised his eyebrows at her with a small smile.
"As if you will listen and follow my order," he said her making her giggle.
"True,.." she said and giggled.
He looks at his watch and then looks at her smiling face.
"I should leave for the office now," he whispered and kissed her forehead
She sigh softly feeling his lips on her forehead and nodded.
"When are you leaving for work?"
"I will go late today," he nodded.
Preet remove her arms around him. He smiles and bid bye before walking toward his car. She walks him to his car and opens the backseat door for him.
He looks at her in amusement while she smiles cheekily and gestures him to go inside the car with her eyes. He chuckle at her and placed a long kiss on her cheek. She giggles happily.
"Take care," he said from inside the car. She closes the door and bends toward him through the window.
"You too. I will wait for you," she softly said with a loving smile on her face.
He gives her his charming smile before his car drives off and soon disappears from her sight.
Preet was going toward her room when suddenly Anaya came in front of her, coming out of her room with her shoulder bag.
Preet looked at her and was about to walk past her. Anaya smirks looking at Preet's blank face.
"Someone is looking happy nowadays. Good progress I must say, dear Bhabhi. Hope now you will stop meddling in my life," At last her voice turned harsh.
Preet ignore her shitty words and walked ahead but she heard her mocking chuckle and words,
"God knows what sweet lies she fed Bhai. Miss innocent drama, " Anaya scoffs with a chuckle after saying loudly, so Preet can hear her before.
Preet, so, wanted to give a tight slap on her face to stop her from behaving like the spoiled brat that she is.
It's not like Preet hate her or something. No, she cared for her as Veer does. Also, she is not that bad except with her. She loves and respects Veer, she knows that. It's just that Preet is special to her. And her only target in the whole family. She just stops her from spoiling her life and interferes a few times seeing her careless behavior. But she didn't like her interfering and stopping her from destroying her life and career. Hence, she mocked and said hurtful words to Preet.
Preet knows she shouldn't interfere too much but the care she develops for her unknowingly forces her to make her understand what is right and wrong. She is a little mature and childish and carefree but we have to make her understand. The world is filled with monsters with facades.
She felt hurt at her rude behavior toward her and her mocking comments. But still, she can't stop caring for her. She is as precious as Aarav and Avni are to her.
But her behavior is really annoying.
Entering her room, Preet changes into a white long Chikankari kurta and matching flared palazzo. Coiling the multicolored scarf, she walks in front of the mirror while wearing her oxidized Chandbalis.
She smiles feeling beautiful and sticks a small red bindi in between her eyebrows. She parted her hair in the middle and clipped her front hair strands on the back. Then fill her hairline with sindoor. And Applied nude pink lipstick, she looked satisfied with her look and gave herself a flying kiss.
"Beautifulâ¦" She compliments her.
It's not everyday she felt like getting dressed up. But today she wanted to dress and get ready well to lift her mood after the morning chaos.
After that, she went to her work. But meet Avni before leaving. She can't leave her when she needs her most. She promised to not do any work but she never said that she won't meet and look after her.
Urmila was sitting alone in the living hall with Sumitra when Preet was leaving.
Urmila's eyes filled with hatred looking at her. Ignoring her, Preet starts going outside but Urmila stops her.
Preet turned to her and saw her coming toward her.
"See Preet, you are not my enemy. But whatever you did today is unforgettable for me. Why are you and Veer after my happiness? Why can't you see my children happy in their life?" Urmila said in pure hatred for her.
"Urmila, why are you saying all this to her when she doesn't even care about anything? She won't be getting all ready and smiling like this if she felt even a little guilt for her doing," Sumitra said but suddenly she looked away when Preet glared at her.
"Think whatever you want, Choti Ma. I won't waste my time and your time in clarifying. And beg you to trust me. And about me and Veer snatching your happiness then let me tell you one thing clearly, you are sitting and enjoying all this luxury and then babbling whatever comes in your mouth about my husband, then remember that this Rajvansh empire is touching the sky of success just because of my husband's hard work and dedication toward his Rajvansh and this family. I agree Aarav and Chote Papa also work hard but Veer gave his everything to this family even when they treat him like a stranger. And your children's happiness?" Preet looks at her and chuckle sadly
"Is Veer not your child? You bought him up, right?" Urmila turns mute and looks away from the intense gaze of Preet.
"You know Choti Ma, if you ask him, just once, to give his everything to Aarav, he will do that in a breath without thinking for a second. He considered Aarav like his child and always kept his happiness before him," Preet told as her voice turned weak and tears formed in her eyes.
This family is too cruel to her Veer. The woman whom he considered a mother figure hated him so much that she couldn't see him happy. Her Veer doesn't deserve these selfish people.
Not wanting to say something which destroyed everything, Preet walked out of the house but not before giving a hard look to Sumitra.
"I am telling you Urmila this girl will destroy everything whatever we want," Sumitra said with clenched teeth.
Urmila didn't say anything and silently sat on the sofa holding her head. Tears appear in her eyes.
"Why are you crying? God Urmi, do you really believe her words? She manipulated you with her fake words. Don't forget she tried to harm Avni's unborn baby. She can do anything for her satisfaction. She is very evil. Don't think about her words, just think about you and your children and their future," Urmila looked at her and hesitantly nodded.
"Soon we will get rid of Preet and Veer, from this family and your life forever,"Â Sumitra evilly said, hugging sad Urmila.
The same evening, Damini had to leave for her hometown in a hurry as her brother was really sick. So she left after informing Urmila about her visit. And told her to look after Avni in her absence.
But someone is really happy about this. She chuckles internally as her devil mind smirks.
Preet came late that night. She went directly to the room. She opens the door with a big smile but frowns, finding the room empty. She saw Veer's car in the garage then where he is. Not finding him in the room and study, she went downstairs. She saw a helper passing through the living hall.
"Malti Didi!" she called her.
"Ji?"
"Apne Veer ko dekha," she asked.
"Bhaiya is in the kitchen," Preet was confused but she nodded at her and walked inside the kitchen.
As her eyes fell on him, her steps slowed down then she stopped in her tracks. She blinked her eyes not believing the scene in front of her.
Her sweet and cute husband, who once was a cold monster, is cooking. And looking so hot in an apron. She doesn't know about food but he is looking so delicious and ravishing. Maybe she would like to have him for today's dinner.
She quickly shook her head not wanting to torture herself.
But, the menu seems mouthwatering. His soft lips, his sharp pointed jaws, his adam apple against her tongue, his stone-hard chest muscle than his sexy hard abs against her soft palm. So, tasty.
She felt a shiver on her back just thinking about him. God knows what will happen when they willâ¦ahhhaaeiiii!!
Don't think, shameless girl. Don't think.
"Preet? When did you come?" she snaps from her crazy thoughts and looks at him. Giving him a nervous smile, she went near him and stood beside him.
"Just now. What are you doing?" she asked and then peek at the cookware on the stove to see inside.
"Cooking. There was nothing left for us so I decided to cook for us," she frowned her eyebrows in confusion.
"No food left. It never happened before. Servants know how much food is cooked daily," she told him but he just shrugged off.
She also let it slide thinking maybe she wasn't here to guide them about the amount.
"So what do we have in our menu," she asked excitedly.
"Nothing special really," he said feeling a little embarrassed.
"Oh come on, Mr CEO. Just tell me already," she dramatically said. He smiles looking at her bright face as she is looking excited.
"Jeera Aloo, raita, and roti," she grinned.
"Woa!! So muchâ¦not bad, hmm. Now tell me what is left, I will help you," she said as she threw her dupatta aside and tied her long hair in a loose bun.
"It's okay, I am doing. You go and freshen up," Veer tries to stop her.
"I will freshen up later. Did you prepare dough for rotis?" She asked to which he shook his head.
"I will d-" Veer stops her, placing his finger on her lips.
"I will do it. Today is your rest day," he told her. She sighs at him while smiling.
"Fine.., I am coming in a while, okay," she said and ran upstairs to their room to freshen up.
After 20 minutes when she came down, Veer was placing dishes on the dining table.
He looked up hearing her anklet's voice and asked her to sit. They sat and Preet served food on both of their plates.
Preet takes a bite while Veer is looking at her observing her expressions.
"Is it good?" he nervously asked.
She give him a chef kiss and said,
"Awesome!! I love it," he smiled and felt proud.
"You also eat. Wait let me feed you," she fed him and raised her eyes with a smile.
"Not bad," he said, nodding his head.
They eat their dinner happily while talking about their day. The surroundings turn happy and cheerful with their light chuckle and giggling.
Morning
Preet got up early in the morning and got ready. She first went and did the prayer in the Pooja room. After which she was again going back to her room. But stop, seeing Sumitra coming from the kitchen.
Suddenly she heard Veer calling her. She turns to see him coming toward her from the gym, which is in the basement.
"Why are you standing here?" he asked standing in front of her.
"Just coming from Pooja," she smiled lightly.
"Can you please iron my blue shirt," he asked her to which she nodded her head with a smile. They both walk up to their room.
She smiles at him and perks his lips lightly after knotting his tie. He chuckled at her act.
"Let's go downstairs," She said lightly, setting his hair on the side.
"You go, I am comingâ¦" he told her.
"Malti Didi, please set the breakfast. And where is everyone?" Preet asked the helper. While she takes out the Juice can from the fridge.
"Voâ¦Choti Madam and her mother had their breakfast a few times ago. Avni madam is not feeling well so Aarav Bhaiya took their breakfast in the room. And breakfast is finished because Choti Madam ordered us to throw the remaining food saying everyone had breakfast,"
Preet placed the juice can on the counter as her expression turned to shock, disbelief, and sad.
'Why would Choti Ma do that? Is she doing all this because of her hatred toward her? She can't go that low..'
Preet thought but somewhere she knows she can do that. So that's the reason they didn't get dinner last night.
Preet close her eyes as she felt tears in her eyes and took a long breath. She look at the time and then look at the helper.
"Malti Didi, app please jadi se coffee prepare kr dijiye. I will quickly made an omelet for Veer, " she told her while she took out 3 eggs.
"Ji,"
She hurried prepared two omelets and cut an apple for Veer. It is what she could manage at that time.
Veer entered the dining room to find it empty. This is unusual but he doesn't think much. He take his place when he saw Preet coming with their breakfast.
"Where is everyone?" he asked while she was placing his breakfast and coffee in front of him.
"Everyone had their breakfast already," she told him giving him a fake smile. She can't digest the fact that Urmila's hate is turning so intense for her and Veer.
"So early," he frowns his eyebrow as he slips his coffee.
"Hmmâ¦" she just hummed and was about to go inside the kitchen.
"Where is your breakfast?" he asked not seeing her plate.
"I am not feeling hungry. You eat I am coming,"
He hold her hand and gesture her to see beside him. She silently sat on the chair while looking at him.
He forward the bowl of chopped apple.
"Don't keep your stomach empty in the morning. Have them. Malti!"
He said in a stern voice and called their house helper.
"Ji Bhaiya," she asked quickly coming there.
"Bring juice for Preet," she nodded and walked inside the kitchen before coming back with a glass of mixed juice.
Preet is silently looking at him with love and felt her eyes burning getting emotional at his care.
He is enough for her. His care is what she wants. She doesn't care if Urmila hates her or ever this world. She is happy and content as long as he is with her. She has him and she will always be there for him. She is ready to face everything and everyone for them.
"Stare at me later first finish them, Wifey," he said and smirked at her, catching her looking at him.
She bite her lower lips and started eating apple ignoring his words.
"I am not looking at anyone," she lied on his face. He chuckles still having a teasing smile on his lips.
Preet was going toward her car, leaving for her work when she saw Urmila sitting with Avni in the garden and feeding her fruits with her hand. She is looking happy and loving caressing Avni's head.
Preet look away feeling bad for herself and sat inside the car. She look at them for the last time before driving her car out of the Rajvansh Villa premises.
She is driving while looking straight and slowly felt tears forming in her eyes. What happened today hurts her too much. She slows down her car while thinking about everything happening with her and Veer in their own house.
She is not asking much just a little care, love, and respect for herself and her husband. She noticed many times how elders treated Veer like a outsider. But he shows his feeling and ignores their cold attitude toward him. Dadi cares but it's like something stopping her from showing her love for him. Chote Papa may care for him or maybe not, she doesn't know. As she never saw them talking and interacting with each other besides business-related things. Or may seeing Choti Ma disliking toward them stops him after all he won't leave his wife for them. Veer is like a son to him but not his son. There is a difference.
It's not mean they meant anything to him and he shouldn't care for them. He should. They supported him and didn't leave him when he lost his parent. That's the reason she doesn't want to create drama in the morning for the discrimination Urmila doing.
Preet sighed and shake her head to stop herself think about all these things. She is already feeling a headache.
