Chapter-36

Chapter dedicated to divyachandrashekhar  Happy to have a supporter like you!

Recently one of my reader had a doubt on something, so just a clarification even if even you guys felt it, so the thing is, guys who thinks Abhi sometimes posses Viraj's soul, come out of your assumptions folks! Abhi don't possess Viraj's soul anytime. Abhi is Abhi and Viraj is Viraj! This is kinda suspense, dark past, twisty, romance story but not a horror one😂

Those who felt in that way, no offence! Not everyone can think in same way. At some point even I felt that my writing had directed you guys to such thoughts. That's why I clarified it.

Longest chapter ahead, enjoy reading!

My son in law is whipped

Author's POV

Next day,

Abhi woke up early in the morning and went for a jog along with Sid.

"Aren't Ved, Riddhanth and Vikranth morning persons?" Asked Abhi.

"They are but not Jogging persons. They only do gym. Ved used to go for a jog but since Kyathi is pregnant he will be with her skipping both jog and gym" said Sid.

"Seems like he wants compete with his wife in becoming fat" said Abhi. Sid laughed.

"You love my sister, don't you?" Asked Sid. Abhi blushed nodding his head.

"I love her so much. I just can't believe she has a will power to melt this cold heart with just her smile. I fell in love before with a woman but got betrayed, Sid. After that I never let any woman close to me but Sitaara became close to me without even trying, though she was my long time crush which I never admitted" Said Abhi smiling. Sid smiled.

"I want to tell you something, Sid. Listen completely" said Abhi and Sid nodded his head. They both sat on bench, Abhi took a deep breath and explained about the deal Sitaara and Abhimanyu made after the marriage. Sid looked at him with rage but Abhi made him understand.

"Now, I don't care about the deal, Sid. I even burnt the papers and I promise I won't repeat this immature thing again. All I want is your sister and her love for me. Am sorry for such an immature deal we made. I told you because I don't want you to get to know from third person and create misunderstanding between us" said Abhi.

"I understand, Bava(bil). But I didn't expect this from my sister, I mean what was running in her mind to make this deal with you? How did she even think of it? Sitaara, cares and values relationships, she always try keep the bond between families safe and secure but her disrespecting the special bond, a sacred bond called marriage is making me suspicious" said Sid in deep thoughts.

"She was forced, Sid" said Abhi. Sid chuckled humourlessly.

"Do you think my sister would disrespect such thing just because she was forced? No! She won't do such thing. She is very adaptable one among all our Shetty's siblings that's why my father proposed to give her hand to you as he knew she would handle everything without hurting anyone and with respect. There is something she is planning, Abhi. Please take care of her. I can't loose her. She is my first daughter and my prized possession" said Sid as he is slightly doubted Sitaara's plans. Abhi wrapped his arm on Sid shoulder.

'I hope she doesn't do anything like Avni' thought Sid looking at sky.

"Until am alive you won't loose your sister and she is my queen, Sid and I'll treat her like one. You don't need to worry about your sister when her husband is with her" said Abhi.

"You are my only hope, Abhi" said Sid smiling.

"Is she having any past? A dreadful one? She was screaming in sleep and I saw her many times crying to herself" he said. Sid smiled sadly looking front.

"Who don't have a past, Bava(bil)? Everyone has a past, few let it go and few stuck on it. My sister is second kind. She is still stuck on her past. Everyone has a past, you have, Arjun has, Ved has, I have like wise Situ too have a past" said Sid.

"What happened to her in past? What's her past?" Asked Abhi.

"Let her tell to you herself because it's not my place to tell about it" said Sid. Abhi nodded.

"You have a past?" Asked Abhi. Sid nodded with tears.

"Daksh is not Navya's kid. He is my first wife's kid. Yes! Navya is my second wife" said Sid and looked at Abhi who was shocked.

"Don't get shocked it's true. I got married at early age because you know my grandfather's thinking; still old fashioned. I was married at 22 forcefully to my father's friend's daughter, Avni who was my childhood friend too. She was also kind of forced and we were engaged when we were 18 itself. I was in relation with Navya since school days and Avni was in relation with her school bestfriend. Navya was pregnant with my baby before marriage but Navya's family killed the baby in her womb that's when my family too came to know about it and they fixed my marriage with Avni. Being the eldest son of Shetty's I couldn't go against them and had to leave Navya in pain of losing our baby and then me getting married betraying her like a coward unable to stand to my family. Soon we had a grand wedding but neither I nor Avni were happy. We both never even shared a physical thing" said Sid.

"Daksh?" Asked Abhi. Sid nodded continuing.

"Daksh is Avni's and her boyfriend's baby but I accepted Daksh. No one knew till now that Daksh isn't my blood because I don't want to get my son treated badly for his mother's mistake of cheating on me. I was always loyal to Avni though I was forced. In that one year of relation I never met Navya again because I promised my loyalty to Avni and even I didn't want to make Navya's hopes high meeting her. I can't blame Avni completely, Abhi, she was forced into living with someone who doesn't hold her heart nor either of us were ready to. She must have dreamt of her life with her boyfriend and sudden change in her life couldn't stop her love for her boyfriend like I didn't stopped feeling for Navya"

"Later after giving birth to Daksh, everyone were happy. She wanted to tell everyone truth but then her boyfriend happened. He is newly joined army officer and was dead in firing at Jammu and Kashmir. She was devasted and killed herself not caring of Daksh. She left a note behind that anyone aren't responsible for her death which made me free orelse police suspected me charging domestic violence or all those shit. Then, Daksh needed a mother. If I bring any woman there is no guarantee that she would accept my son. Only the person who went through the loss a child and the person who dreamt a life with me can do that. Then, I got married to Navya. It was not an easy thing, Abhi. I felt so pathetic to even ask her for forgiveness after breaking her beyond. I was behind Navya for almost two and half years begging for forgiveness but you know, love can do wonders and would never want to us see our loved ones in pain, so she agreed to marry me and we got married with both our families blessings but I don't have a good bond with Navya's family as they killed my baby but it was Situ who made me understand and bond with them for Navya's sake" said Sid.

"Navya is a kind woman and you too. You both took care of a kid who isn't yours" said Abhi. Sid smiled.

"I agree Navya is one of the kindest woman, Abhi. She didn't want to have any kids because Daksh became her world but I objected the idea of not having kids from both of us and we were trying since years but she isn't able to conceive because of the forceful miscarriage that occurred because of her family in past" said Sid.

"You both will become parents again" said Abhi patting Sid's shoulder. Sid nodded smiling.

"Don't tell anyone that Daksh isn't my son. Only you, Avni, I and Navya knew about Daksh's birth secret" said Sid.

"You told me about Daksh's birth secret? What is it?" Asked Abhi pretending as if he already forgot about it. Sid chuckled.

"I will never say it even to your sister. It's your past and I don't have rights to talk about it, Sid and Daksh is your kid. Love won't be bloomed only if the person belong to our blood, if anyone gonna object it, then, our love for our wife's who are also different blood isn't true, the actual love is when accepting everyone without narrow minded thoughts and accepting their flaws" said Abhi. Sid hugged Abhi with overwhelming feeling in him for getting a perfect husband for his sister. Abhi patted his back and pulled back.

"I don't know if your sister ever felt bad after knowing my past where I just lost my virginity to someother woman who is not her but I know one thing, she stood for me to make me feel better unlike few men/women who take their partners past serious and ruin their relationship. She just ignored the the truth that I was shared by a woman then, and she put her hundred percent in comforting me" Abhi said remembering Sitaara consoling him.

"She is a gem, Abhi. We cousins not only always enjoy eachother's company but also had many fights to an extent where I and Ved were about break eachother's head, once Akhira and Riddhanth fought like cats and dogs and stopped speaking to eachother for almost an year, Adhira and Sisira had a huge fight and at that moment, it even involved our parents in it but Sitaara was the only one who put everything on track. May be she always break rules made by my grandfather but she is the one who keeps our families together. If our families are still together instead of breaking into 3 other families, the credit goes to Sitaara and my grandparents who taught values to my fathers and uncles. She used to take all the blame on her when something stupid done by any of our cousins. Once grandpa grounded her almost 2 months with only books surronded her, when Adhira got drunk and she put blame on her that she spiked her drink as a prank. Everyone in house love Sitaara so much and they don't dare to break your bones if you hurt her, especially I and Ved" Sid said chuckling. Abhi too chuckled.

"I don't know why but I am getting bad vibes, Abhi. If at all you or your family ever hurt my Sitaara, I don't care relations we share. For me my sister's happiness is important. Even ignoring the image am gonna create in her mind, I forced her to marry you and it won't take me even a single second to break your bond even if she loves you back" Sid said wiping his tears as his heart tightened due to uneasiness.

"We will never hurt your sister, Sid" Abhi smiled warmly and the honesty his eyes spoke made Sid's lips curve upwards.

They went back to mansion talking about random things and suddenly heard screams from Dev's and Mridula's room. Abhi and Sid exchanged glances and ran to that direction followed by others.

"Mani turn of A.C., it's chilling and am getting disturbed" shouted Sitaara pulling blanket till her face.

"Mani please, close the curtains too orelse I will kick your ass" she yelled covering herself.

Elders gasped at her choice of words. Dhruv and Akhira were shooting in their phones stiffening their laugh. Everyone turned to Abhi who was looking down due to embarrassment. Mridula walked to her and started pulling her blanket to wake up her before she utter anymore cuss words.

"Damn you Asshole Chowdary!! Am gonna kill you one day for disturbing my sleep sliding the curtains, decreasing temp, pouring water one me everyday and pulling my blanket to wake me up. Fucking get your stupid ass out of the room before I make mamayya(fil) throw you out of the mansion" she yelled buring her face in pillow rolling on her stomach.

"Wow!! I didn't know you would listen to these many sacred words from your wife early in the morning" said Aastha giggling. Abhi looked away as it's common for him every morning but getting embarrassed like this is something new.

"God!! Is she our Situ? Am feeling giddy hearing these many cuss words" said Surabhi holding her head.

Mridula got angered at Sitaara words, she knew, Situ uses cuss words but using them on her husband really made Mridula angry. She picked up a pillow and started smacking Sitaara's butt.

"Argh... idiot!! Stupid! Donkey! Buffalo! Jerk! Gori....Good morning mommy" as soon as she opened her eyes she came face to face with Mridula's dangerous form making her cusses hung in middle and she greeted to cover it up. Her cousins were giggling seeing Situ who look like a cat got caught after drinking milk without the owner notice.

"What is language you are using Sitaara?" Shouted Mridula. Sitaara understood this gonna be long lecture as her mother using her full name only when she is angry which is quite dangerous. She looked at Sid, he smirked and shrugged his shoulders making her pout.

"First, you woke up late. Second, you kept on shouting. Third, cussing your husband and fourth, threatening him to kick out him from his own mansion. Is this the way I brought you up? Is this how you behave at your in-laws? What do they think of me and your father hearing your words? Grow up Sitaara. You are married now, you get that? You. are. married!! Instead of waking up your own kids at this age, you are whining to sleep and shouting. Even, Daksh, Vanya and Ishitha are better than you, they woke up early in the morning but you? You are sleeping like a coma patient and when we come to wake you up, you started cussing thinking it's as Abhi......"

Her mother was continuously yelling at her while she looked down. She lifted her face and saw Abhi who was struggling hard to control his smile, she glared at him making him look down. She turned to father seeking help through her eyes, he nodded and came forward.

"Mridula- "

Dev came forward to pacify her.

"What?" She barked making Dev stepped back laughing nervously.

"You know, you look very beautiful today like you used to when we got married. How about going on a romantic dinner tonight?" he asked smiling nervous. Everyone chuckled.

"This isn't gonna work this time Dev. You have done a great job protecting your daughter so far but not anymore. You have spoiled her so much that she is shouting at Abhimanyu. And, her brothers, Sid and Ved had taught her many good words, you guys need to get a reward" said Mridula sarcastically. Sitaara mentally danced as now everything turned on to her brothers and father, without Mridula's notice she sneaked out of the room whereas Sid's and Ved's color drained off their faces.

"Sid, Ved you both are the top persons who spoiled her. Instead of correcting her everytime she cussed, you both taught her another two extra words and Dev, you taught her to punch men and even trained her many tricks which she is using on innocent people. On the day you guys went to movie, a Gang came home complaining on Sitaara that she bet shit out of them and punchered their cars and Sid and Ved encouraged her to do it. She is married for godsake. Prohibit her from doing such things atleast now" yelled Mridula as Sid, Ved and Dev who stood infront of her head down.

"Who says Dev mama is a top business tycoon? And Sid and Ved? No one are gonna believe that they are upcoming youngest successful businessmen" said Rishi chuckling. Others too chuckled.

"Dev you aren't sleeping in our room not even in guest rooms. Go and sleep with your parents or in main hall" said Mridula making his eyes widen.

"Sid and Ved, am keeping my Dil's with me for a week. Don't you both dare to even touch them" warned Mridula.

"Don't you want to become grandmother again?" Asked Sid

"You shameless pervert" shouted Mridula and Navya. Everyone laughed.

"Abhi am warning you not like a mil but a mother, control your wife orelse you will end up in these kind of situations always" said Mridula making Abhi nodded like a obedient kid. Who would dare to to speak a words after seeing his mil's dangerous form?

"Now, everyone go and freshen up. I'll arrange table for breakfast. Abhi we got a new pair of clothes for your cousins, don't worry" said Mridula.

"Don't dare to deny son in law. I won't send my daughter for another two weeks if you guys go out of the mansion without having breakfast" said Mridula before Abhi could object.

"No don't take such decisions, Mother in law. We will have our breakfast and go only then. But don't keep my wife away from me" he said immediately making everyone giggle.

"Anna no!! we will go immediately. I have important work" said Naman to tease him.

"You can look into it later. We will eat and will go only then" said Abhi sternly.

"But anna, I have to meet-"

"Disha, my baby sister, I'll get you movie tickets for you and your friends and will also give my card. Now, stop being an obstinate princess" Said Abhi sweetly gritting his teeth.

"Then what about us?" Screamed Aarya and Aastha in his ears from either side jumping placing their hands on his shoulders.

"I'll even give my mansion to you both" he said sarcastically.

"We don't need it. Just look after my school reunion charges. Anish blocked my card and he isn't allowing me to use his" said Aastha. He sighed and nodded.

"When you grounded me and blocked my credit card three months ago before your marriage, I had a debt to a club, clear that and also make sure they won't ask me to pay from now" said Aarya. Abhi glared at her listening to 'club'.

"You are going out of the track brother which will make us to go out of the mansion within two minutes" said Aarya.

"Okay! I'll do that" he said gritting his teeth and went away making everyone burstout laughing.

"My son in law is whipped just like me" said Dev chuckling. Mridula widened her eyes.

"Don't be shocked, it's true. Even I used to agree to my brother's and Sita's demands blindly to make you stay with me all the time" said Dev chuckling. Everyone laughed at the couple and went back to their rooms.

( Remember? Sita is Dev's only sister and Sitaara's aunt who went missing nearly 30 years ago)

Abhi was walking to Sitaara's room and saw Sisira at door. He ignored her and started walking inside but she held his wrist.

"Leave. Don't you dare touch me" he said dangerously making her flinch and leave his wrist.

"Am sorry I didn't mean to hold your hand. As you were going, I needed stop you so-"

"Cut it out" he said interrupting her. She thinned her lips nodding her head.

"Abhi-"

"Mr Chowdary, Call me that, only my people are allowed to call me" Abhi he said cutting off her.

"Okay am sorry for what happened yesterday. My day was pretty bad yesterday which lead to lash on your wife. I know it's unforgivable still am sorry. I couldn't face Sitaara that's why am telling you. Please convey my apology to my sister" she said looking down.

"Done with your sorry speech? If yes, then you can leave" he said closing door on her face.

"Bitch!! If not for my wife I wouldn't even stay here where that bitch stays. How dare she insult my taara and make her cry? Shameless bitch asking for apology after doing everything" He mumbled going towards closet to pick his clothes.

'Where is my Taara? She must be in bathroom as I can hear water sound' he thought opening the closet door and rooted at his place with wide eyes seeing his wife only in her inner clothes. His eyes travelled from her forehead to her face to neck to shoulder and eyes turned dark looking down her shoulder. His eyes was about trail down her belly, a comb landed on his eyes.

"You asshole! Idiot! Ugly shameless pig go away" screamed Sitaara throwing all the things at him covering herself. Abhi closed the door immediately breathing heavily.

"Am sorry I didn't come inside intentionally. I just wanted to pick my clothes, that's it!! No other intentions. Trust me, I thought you were in bathroom as I heard water sound" he yelled from outside.

"But you saw everything, you Asshole. And I turned on taps for you so that you would take bath next" she yelled from inside angrily.

"No! I didn't see how fair you are, I didn't see how beautiful you are and Taara, now I need a cold shower instead of hot one" he yelled.

"You Shameless jerk! When you didn't see anything how are you telling all those? I didn't know that your eyes can even scan" she yelled opening the door fully dressed and put her hands on her waist.

"I wish they could" he whispered to tease her eyeing her from to bottom and smirked.

"You dickhead" she screamed at him. He chuckled and pecked her forehead.

"Only yours" he whispered huskily.

"Arghh..."she groaned and walked away from him to mirror. Laughing he went inside the closet and already found his clothes lying on the couch. He smiled at her care and walked inside bathroom.

"Taara" he called opening the bathroom door and looked at her back from bathroom. She hummed applying vermillion in her partition after braiding her hair.

"I forgot to tell you something" he said.

"What?" She asked annoyed turning to him.

"You have a sexy body" he said smirking.

"Abhimanyu" she screamed throwing perfume bottle at him. He dodged it closing the door and laughed.

"Yes, sweetheart?" He sang.

"Am not talking to you" she yelled.

"I guess there is only one Abhimanyu here. So, you are talking to me" he said chuckling imagining her annoyed face.

"Idiot! Am not gonna talk to you" she yelled.

"Let's see, sweetheart" he said.

"Crazy asshole" she said to herself.

"I heard that" he yelled from inside.

"Good for you" she yelled back and left the room. She directly went to Ishitha's room.

Abhi came out of shower and dressed himself in brown t shirt with a coat over it paired with blue denim jeans. He left his hair messy and went downstairs for breakfast. He looked around for Sitaara but he couldn't find her.

"She is in porch feeding Daksh and Ishitha" said Sisira smiling. He nodded curtly and turned to Anish and Rishi.

Others too joined them and Sitaara came running to them as she has to serve Abhi.

He looked at her with a teasing smile. His eyes trailed from her forehead where he saw vermillion, to her face which never fail to bring serene to him, to her neck which is adorned with the wedding chain, to her shoulders and his eyes were about to move down her shoulders she hid behind Mridula holding Mridula's forearms and peeked at Abhi through Mridula's shoulder. He chuckled silently.

"Beautiful as always" he mumbled after checking out her. She wore a cream cotton kurti paired with cream pants and red dupatta around her neck.

(Sitaara's outfit)

"God! You both are behaving as if you both met eachother for the first time. Shy and all whereas you both will be on eachother's throat all the time" commented Dhruv. Abhi looked at her again smiling and mouthed 'sorry' for teasing her. She gave a brightest smile making him sigh in relief.

"That's why we should be away from newly wedded. We can't bear their secret language, glances and smiles. Huff!!" Said Dhruv dramatically making everyone chuckle. Sitaara smirked at him and served him ghee containing food which he hate to death as he isn't a fan of ghee.

"Vadhina(sil)" whined Dhruv as she was serving Abhi.

"Eat it. You need to get used to everything. Taste it, even then if you don't like it I won't force you" she said and was about to move to Dhruv, her dupatta struck with Abhi's watch. She was about untangle it, he pulled her to sit beside him.

"Eat!! Sit beside me" he said sternly. She nodded her head and served for herself.

"Agh! What a possessive man you are anna? She will be with you all the day right..!! You intentionally struck Vadhina's (sil) dupatta to your watch and made her sit beside you when she was coming to me, to sit beside me" complained Dhruv and pouted making everyone smile. Abhi rolled his eyes.

Dhruv stood up and took his plate in his hands. Everyone were looking at him bemused. He pushed Disha who sat right to Situ and he sat on it moving his chair closer to Sitaara.

"Move away man, Dhruv!! She is my wife" said Abhi moving his chair closer to Sitaara's from left side.

"She is my sister in law and my best friend. You move away" said Dhruv moving his chair closer to Sitaara from right side. Shetty's were looking at the brothers amused while Abhi's cousins who are habituated to it were eating casually.

"Don't worry it happens every day as Dhruv loves to annoy Abhi anna who shows his possessiveness more and more when Dhruv irritates him and this will end only when Vadhina(sil) stops" said Naman casually stuffing food in his mouth. Everyone smiled at the bantering of Abhi and Dhruv.

"Enough" said Sitaara loudly standing up. She pushed the chair backwards with difficulty as both the brothers struck it between their chairs. Lifting her plate she went to Sisira and sat beside her as she knew they both wouldn't dare to come near Sisira as she is in their bad books.

Abhi and Dhruv glared at eachother blaming eachother with their looks and continued eating. Sitaara had a small smile looking at both the grown up adults behaving like kids.

*

It was time for them to leave. Dev and Mridula called Abhi and Sitaara and asked the couple to follow them. Sitaara and Abhimanyu glanced at eachother and follow her parents to their room. Dev asked Abhi and Sitaara to sit on couch which they did.

Mridula came out of the closet with two boxes in her hands. She came forward and stood beside Dev as it's disrespectful to sit when Sil is in the same room, according to her and traditions they follow.

(Author:- No offence guys, there are people who still follow it, including my own family)

"Abhi, Sitamma your marriage went in haste and we couldn't give you anything that bride's parents has to, so here are the small gifts from us" said Dev smiling. Abhi shook his head in no.

"So you think I would take dowry, Mamayya (fil)? Isn't that's what you meant by bride's family couldn't give me and Sitaara anything?" Asked Abhi.

"No, you are getting wrong son in law. I don't mean it. Infact your family didn't ask about dowry and we are greatful to find such a honest family. It's just the little things we parents dream to do for our daughters" said Dev. Abhi sighed.

"I understand, but since we got married and whenever we came here to meet you people, you both convince us and gift us expensive gifts. Now, we don't want to take them anymore. I bring Sitaara here because she misses her family like hell and she would be crying if she didn't talk to you guys even for once in a day and we need all your love but not these gifts" said Abhi shaking his head in no.

"Abhi if your wedding happened like normal weddings we wouldn't do all these, we had many plans to make our younger daughter get married in grand way showering her many things we wished and she dreamt being a girl and also as parents even we have dreams of gifting our daughter and sil, so please accept them beta" said Mridula.

"Athamma(mil), now Sitaara is my wife and she is my responsibility. It's my duty to provide her everything she needs. You people trusted me with her and married off her to me which is best gift I could ever get, I don't need any special gift again. If you are showering her with expensive gifts like this, it is making me feel useless and worst husband" said Abhi calmly. Sitaara looked at him in awe at the way he spoke to her parents for so long. Well, it was the longest conversation ever he had with Shetty's except when he was lashing out on them the other day.

"You misunderstood us, Abhi. You are the person god chose for my daughter. These gifts are token of our love for you both, Abhi, not to disrespect you. Please don't deny" said Mridula.

"Okay! Then gift Sitaara now and I would accept it when any occasion comes up but not now" said Abhi.

"Sitamma, ask him to accept it. Make him understand our point" said Dev looking at Sitaara. She looked at Abhi who shook his head in no.

"We will accept it, Daddy but this would be the last time. Here onwards we aren't gonna accept them again" said Sitaara making Abhi frown.

"But Taara-"

"Don't sulk over it, Mani. Accept them for themselves, for their satisfaction, it will be last one" whispered Sitaara placing her palm on his arm. He nodded reluctantly.

"Open it Situ" said Mridula rubbing her hands. Sitaara rolled her eyes at her mother's excitement.

'I get it now, Sitaara is exactly like her mother in anger, excitement, spreading happiness' thought Abhi looking at his mil who is excitingly looking at Sitaara.

Sitaara slowly opened the box and her eyes came out of her sockets. Soon happy grin danced on her lips.

"This.. this.." Sitaara trailed off. Her father chuckled.

"Yes, it is the same diamond necklace you asked during your maternal cousin's wedding which was a month before your wedding" said Mridula while Sitaara was looking at it with so much of happiness.

"She fell in love with this necklace when we went for her maternal cousin's wedding shopping. She asked us to buy it for her, but we denied then, so that we can give it on her wedding as a surprise but during wedding time we gave it on exchange for few diamonds in it and it was arrived a month ago but she didn't visit us" said Dev to Abhi. He nodded smiling. Sitaara hugged both our parents hugging tightly.

"This bracelet is for you, Abhi beta" said Dev giving a rectangular box to Abhi. Sitaara snatched it and opened the box.

"Wow!! This is nice, Mani. Exactly like you prefer, simple and elegant. Sometimes even I'll wear it okay?" She said. Mridula smacked her head.

"It's for my sil" said Mridula making Sitaara pout. She angrily put the bracelet in Abhi's palm. Abhi chuckled.

"Everything is ours, you can wear it too but I don't think our wrist size are same. Do they?" He asked. She turned to him and shook her head in no.

"It's okay you wear it orelse your mil will kill me if I even think about it. I will wear my necklace and you wear your bracelet" said Sitaara with fake sadness. They shook their heads chuckling.

"Daddy, how much does it cost?" She asked refering necklace.

"You don't need to know" Sitamma said Dev.

"Please tell me" she whined like a baby.

Cute!!

"Less costlier than you used to spend on your collection" said Dev chuckling. She pouted.

'Man! Someone ask her not to pout. This girl is making harder for me day by day' thought Abhi looking away.

"Say it daddy, please" she requested. Dev sighed.

"50 lakhs" lied Dev about the price which is not even half of its original cost.

"It wasn't needed to buy it for me" whispered Sitaara looking at the necklace in her hands.

"Sitaara, that amount is not even half of the amount I earn in 2 minutes. It's a very smallest amount for me and can't I spend even that on my daughter? It was the first time you pleaded us something instead of ordering and how can we miss such a golden chance? Anyways amount isn't a problem for me not for my daughters atleast" said Dev.

'50 lakhs!! It's not even half of the amount you earn in 2 minutes, daddy but for Raj's family it is not even half amount they could earn working for whole two years. I was made to run on roads for those 50 lakhs being your daughter. See, karma is a bitch. It hits us harder. I used to spend lavishly and is even able to even throw those 50 lakhs as a tip at once though I never did till now, but finally god made me understand the value of money putting someone's life at stake who is dear to me' She thought.

"Anyways, it's time for you both to go to in-laws, Sitaara. Everyone must be waiting for you" said Mridula.

"So desperate to send me out of this mansion" mumbled Sitaara standing up to go. Mridula spank on her butt chuckling.

"Ouch...mummy don't embarrass me. Not infront of your beloved sil atleast" said Sitaara. They chuckled.

They went out. Mridula hugged Sitaara with tears and kissed her forehead.

"It's been two months I got married and still you cry?" Asked Sitaara in disbelief. Anish looked at Aastha who cries while going back to her in-laws house even after three years of their marriage. She looked away. He chuckled.

"Those tears are out of happiness, Sitaara for getting peace finally again" said Sid. Sitaara picked up cushion and threw it on Sid but he dodged it which smacked on Vikranth face.

"Akka, since you came why are you hell bent in hurting me? First it was sauce, then making me fall and now this" whined Vikranth.

"Sorry ra(dude), Kranthi. It wasn't meant for you" said Sitaara holding her tears.

"We should award your husband for handling a violent woman like you in one hand and such a huge empire on other hand. Abhi bava(bil) hats off" said Ved. Abhi chuckled.

"You-"

She was about to run behind Ved, Abhi pulled her back by her waist.

"Save it for next time, sweetheart. We need to go now" said Abhi. She nodded glaring at Ved with puffed cheeks.

"Kyathi Vadhina(sil), hide your husband somewhere when I come back here next time because I don't think he will be alive once I put my hands on him" Said Sitaara glaring at Ved who was smirking at her. Kyathi nodded giggling. She went on her knees to reach Kyathi's belly.

"Hey champ!! Listening to atha(aunt/ father's sister)? Come soon healthily. We will plan a revenge on your annoying dad. I will spoil you alot, you should trouble your father so much that at the age of 32-35 he should become a baldie. Love you my little boy" she said and stood up.

"It's a girl not a boy and what made you to think that I would send my kid to you?" Asked Ved raising his eyebrow.

"It's a boy not a girl and what made you to think that I wouldn't reach your kid? I will teach my nephew all the naughty things and make sure he bring atleast 10 familes to the doorstep to pick up a fight on you" said Sitaara.

"Let's see if it's a boy or a girl and my father instincts says that it is a girl and she will she become like any girl but you" said Ved. Sitaara just smirked.

Bidding bye to everyone she left but didn't fail to notice a thin layer of tears in Ved's eyes. She smiled at his strong facade to hold his tears back.

'Will miss you anna' she thought.

Sid's past? Feel free to share your views on it.

Sitaara and her madness for sleep put up Abhi in embarrassing situation!! Hahaha!!

How many of you like this easy going version of Abhimanyu? Teasing, Surrendering to his cousins teaisngs, His ways with Sitaara, his stupid pervert talks?

Dhruv's and Abhi's childish banter? Ved's and Situ's banter? Hella craz...hilari... they are absolute idiots!!

Another note:- Well, am taking story in a slow pace with just casual scenes without twists and suspense but it's needed guys. Like, I just want to build the best of the best bonds between characters. To lead the story this slow pace is important though it's kinda boring!

Precap: The debt.
