[Please do Vote âï¸ after reading if you want next chapter :" Anyways Let's start the story]
It is Sunday Morning and only five O'clock. And like any other normal person Mr Adarsh Bedi was sleeping peacefully on the soft mattress of his bed.
His snores were the only thing prevailing in the silence until suddenly came a crashing of some utensils from the kitchen making him jolt up from his bed.
At first he was perplexed but when he glance at his wife Jaanki who was sleeping beside him, He found her awake and She sighed lazily. Adarsh Bedi got the clue what's happening.
Strolling inside the kitchen both of them saw the utensils on the floor, moving up there gaze, a silhouette whose back was facing them was noticed.
It was their 22 year daughter whose both legs was on the kitchen shelf, her hand rummaging inside the kitchen cabinet trying to find something.She was wearing oversize t-shirt with loose pajamas which has cute bunnies print.
She was so ingrossed in her search that two presence behind her didn't bothered her haunt.
Well it is now their routine to have their daughter roaming in home early in the morning when everyone would be sleeping.
They are habitatual of waking up and finding her either on couch eating something or in kitchen making noodles.
Jaanki calls her daughter from behind " What are you doing up there Innayat?"
Innayat turned her head after hearing her mom,s voice. Her body was still in same position and Only Adarsh Bedi knows how much it makes him anxious thinking what if his daughter falls from above, gets hurt.
Even after his many saying she is still stubborn enough to pull such stunts, Well she never slipped from the shelf but doesn,t mean that it will never happen there is some possibilities which we should always try avoid.
Adarsh Bedi said with worried tone "Sweety~ Please come down, Your Dad will find what you want. Okay?"
Innayat pouted alittle and said " But it's not there, maybe I should check this one" She pointed her finger on other cabinet aligned with the previous one.
Jaanki Bedi scolded her "Yahhh You little rat come down right now!!! Otherwise no Candies for a month!!"
Innayat widden her in horror after hearing her Mother,s warning. She whined and came down quickly "Dadddd see Mumma is planning to torment your Precious daughter hauuu" She huffed on last words.
Jaanki Bedi said in irritation " Wow I torment you?? You wakes up five in morning. Do you even sleep?? Ashhh I can't even call you Owl cuz you don't even sleep in daytime"
It's amusing to say that your child wakes up before you and goes sleep after you. Innayat wakes at five O'clock and Goes for morning jog. She is introvert and shy person but once you get to know her, she is very childish and stubborn.
Mr Bedi adores his daughter who is like a sunshine spreading her light in those who is close to her but also always get worried because even after being Adult she is very naive.
Adarsh patted Innayat,s head "It's okay sweety I will bought candies packet while returning home.But now tell me What were you doing up there?"
Innayat pouted and said " I was searching for my sweet Oats but it's nowhere"
Jaanki Scowled and said " That's because I hide it, You eat soo much sweet you will get diabetes "
Innayat crossed her arms asserted "No I do jogging so I will not get "
Jaanki glared at her daughter " You ate two bowls yesterday "
Innayat retorted "Oats are healthy"
Adarsh stifled a laugh seeing their querel and added " Yeah healthy with alot of processed sugar"
"Okay fine then make me something else I am hungry " She said rubbing her small tummy
Jaanki shooked her head with disbelief "You only know how to make instant noodles and Oats. I Donât know what you going to feed your husband after marriage."
Innayat,s Pov
When Mom said about my marriage I felt a tinge blush on my face. My marriage topic has being going on these weeks especially after we meet Mumma,s old Best friend Rahima aunty one week ago. She was very nice but suddenly she asked mom if I can be his daughter-in-law.
I felt awkward but she explained how her Son is only engrossed in business making her worried that he may have loveless life.Mom told her that she will think about it and I was silent the whole time.
They had been talking to each other on calls and through a little eavesdropping I got to know her son never dated in his whole life let alone Fall in love.
It was appalling because Mumma did exclaimed how he is on top cover magazine for being most handsome and eligible bachelor.
I would've searched for his biography on internet but my brain is bad at remembering names so I forgot his name after hearing it once.
I know I am too young for marriage that's why I am kinda nervous thinking about how my future husband going to treat me. Is he Going to be my friend or not. Everyone likes me so why wouldn't he but what If he didn't like the way I look.
I am not ugly but I am skinny and short. I have fair skin tone but don't have the ideal model figure. Many aunties have taunted me to eat enough otherwise it will be difficult to find suitable groom for me.
I do eat alot but because of my fast metabolism I never gained weight. Being a introvert kid it used to bother me alot But after I grew up and made friends who complimented me It distracted my mind from all insecurities.
Coming back to present I said to mom who refuse to let me fulfill my sweet cravings and mocked me "He will cook for us".
Yeah I don't know how to cook also can't do household chores properly. Once I tried to do and ended with minimal burn on my palm and spilling water on floor. We do have Shamita aunty (maid) but Mom thinks everyone should know these basic things.
Dad said it's okay there is no need to risk yourself because you obviously bad in these work. I don't mind if I am bad in household works because I am only interested in my profession hehehehe.
Mumma smacked my head lightly and said " And what you going to do for him?" She said raising an eyebrow
I grinned looking both of them and said " I will give him hugs and kisses the same way you always give Dad".
Her mouth hanged in shock and face becomes red from shyness whereas Dad snaked his arms around her caging her in his embrace and said " See our Innayat is learning good things from you hahahahaha".
I love both my parents, they had arrange marriage but Dad was always romantic one so it's hard to think that they didn't date each other before marriage. I am their single child so Dad is very protective of me.
"Okay Now Please make something for me because Shamita aunty ( maid) will come later" I said
Mumma sighed and declared "Next time I will tell Shamita to place extra food in containers inside refrigerator " and She marched towards the refrigerator and pulled out a big blue protein box, opening the lid , she took out My sweet Oats. Gosh She is getting good in hiding my food.
She made the Oats which I ate happily and went upstairs , inside my room.I already had washed my face and teeth, so I just took a quick shower.
It was seven O'clock and I choosed purple lucknowi Chickenkari kurti pairing up with Charcoal grey baggy jeans and oversize white zipper as it,s little cold outside.
I always apply minimal makeup where I used moisturizer , BB cream and little peachy tint blush. I applied nude lipstick which I blend alittle with lipbalm.
I don't know how to do contour, foundation, primer,highlighter etc.
I wore sneakers today because in wheather forecast it's showing certainty of rain around evening. After getting ready I arranged my Stuffs and laptop in my bag; for my sweet cravings I had candies and two choclate bars inside the secret space of bag.
At eight O'clock I came to dining table where delicious pooha, aloo paratha was placed with some fruits. I had two paratha with alittle bit pooha and two slices of Apple.
My Dad is Manager in "SA trades" (Suryavanshi Antiques trade which is still runned by Rajveer Suryavanshi ) we are middle class but company pays handsome amount for my Dad,s work because he was one of those people who is working since the initial days of it,s foundation.
So it,s more than enough for three members of family. Even Dad,s boss appreciates his hard work.
I know I am very childish to be considered adult but people befriend me for what I am and that,s more thn enough for me.
Also I have only one best friend who is like my sister , even Mumma and dad treat her like their daughter which never made me jealous because she sees us as her family which I likes about her.After eating my meal I left for my office.

I reached my office after half an hour. I stepped inside the building.
I had joined a Company who illustrate for media houses, gaming companies, Newpaper and book publishing companies. I am very good in my work to the point I am their best illustrater.
My professional name "@inns.illeya_illustration "is quiet famous, they don't know my real name and there have never been necessity to revealed. Most clients get their work done without any face to face interaction.
I walked out of the elevator and caught the sight of familiar figure so I jumped on her back hugging her tightly. She stumbled a little in front by the sudden weight but composed her balance again.
I said in cheerful elevated pinch " Good Morning Mrs Richel~ Ahh I missed you. Why didn't you informed me you were going overseas for vacations".
I was disappointed to know she went overseas for vacation without telling me anything and her number was also not reachable.
She is middle age women and is one of my favorite person in whole Company. She also treats me like her baby so I am kinda clingy to her now hehehehe.
Mrs Richel creased my head in affection and said "Ahh I am sorry chotu, My husband arranged it as a surprise for our anniversary so even I had no clue about my sudden departure"
"It's okay Mrs Richel I am not Mad at you " I gave her my toothy smile
Mrs Richel pinched my cheeks and said " Awww My cute Innayat, Now you go and do your work "
Inaayat "Yes Manager hehehehe" and I sprinted towards my desk. My colleagues greeted me which I returned back with my usual "Yoooo" or "Good Morning ".
Since our Company is small number of employee so we have homely environment and our boss is very humble. Even if it's small we are one of the famous illustrations Company in market for giving finest quality of work.
Well I should start my work because today is deadline and we have to complete the illustration for project before midnight as instructed by the client. I've given the responsibility of character designing of their new game which is project titled "Clash of Warriors".
As the client suggested I've to create digital characters with Roman warrior outlook.I am already done with NPC( Non player characters) and PC (player characters ) , only Antagonist and his few minions are left.

At three p.m in afternoon
Innayat stretched both her arms in air being tired of working so long "Ashhhhh finally it,s done, Now I can eat Ice cream".
She happily saved everything in pendrive and sprinted towards her boss,s cabin to hand over her work.
She knocked twice and after getting permission she entered the office where one of her colleague was also present discussing something with boss.Their attention went towards her who was walking towards them.
She stopped after reaching the table and said " Sir I am done with Character designing it,s in pendrive so Can I take my leave?". She forward her palm having pendrive.
Mr. Khurana glance at the pendrive and then towards her colleague . He was having a troubled expression.
The old boss fixied his rimmed spectacles over his nose, clearing his throat he said " Miss Innayat actually there is something we want you to do"
Innayat was confused " Yes Sir?"
The Colleague interrupted " Mr Arun who was supposed to complete the background designing meet an accident and now hospitalized"
Innayat gasped , her eyes widden. She wasn't closed with him but they worked together in many projects. She also learnt background designing from him.
Mr Khurana said further "We do feel bad for him but He is in no condition to work.We have to complete the project somehow and today is deadline "
Inaayat nodded her head indicating him to continue
Mr Khurana Sighed "It's hard for anyone else to make Ten background in such a short period except you".
Innayat said hesitantly "But sir I am not as experiencing in Background designing as Arun"
Mr Khurana said "You are one of the best Innayat. Whatever you will make will be impressive to clients that's for sure".
Even if Innayat didn't knew how she will make Ten backgrounds in such a short time but she obviously can't say no to her boss. She said yes making both release their breath in relief.
After handing the pendrive Innayat walked out of the cabin closing the door behind.
She took a deep breath dropping her shoulders "Ughhhh it will take whole evening to complete. I am going to be very late today"

Divyansh,s Pov
It is nine O'clock at night and I am driving my car back to home. After getting dragged by Ekaksh we were served few cuisines which I didn't ate much because it's either very sweet or oliy and spicy which is very unhealthy for body.
I don't get why people even eat oily high cholesterol food. Ekaksh being crazy fucker he is, engorge every bit on platter even asked for more.
I shaked my head reminiscing how Aunt,s friend were telling me to marry since I am already in my twenties, also trying to suggest me names of some of her acquaintance.
For God sake I am twenty five not fourty five. Why everyone is eager to make me marry. I was about to gave in my intrustic thoughts momentarily , uttering that their suggestions is ridiculous without any regret , but Ekaksh was way ahead me.
Ekaksh said "Ladies You guys should open matrimonial site.I swear other companies will be bankrupt because of the enthusiasm you have to see every living on this planet being married" He said with fake smile with sarcasm evident in his tone.
Well it did helped me to have peace for rest of wedding because no lady dared to approach us and we were sipping the expensive wine to kill the time.
If you ask me why I was not leaving that's because Mom will eat my brain by taunts if I left before everything is over. I am already irritated today so I don't want to go sleep after hearing mom,s ranting.
I stopped my car in the side for a moment, want to have puff of smoke. I rummage inside the Compartment, only to find empty packets of cigarettes.
I groaned "Fuck!! This Whole day is full of shits "
Again turning the engine On, I drove the car to nearby Convenient store because If I want to smoke I will right now.
It was raining outside heavily and Banglore streets were deserted from natives.Only street light were radiating showing the soaked road.
There was one convenient store twenty minutes away from my current location so I reached there quickly.
I left the car without caring about rain because it was just small drops falling now.
As I stepped inside the store my soaked form collided with someone. My arms involuntarily grabbed the person from waist to avoid their fall on white tiles of store.
It was a girl in my embrace, her head was attached to my chest where that caged organ was absurdly beating loud and my breath was getting heavy with each passing second.
The time was slow down and my eyes was just staring at those dark curls hiding her face from my sight.
She started moving her head and as she turned her head upwards my breath stucked. Her almond eyes were shining in dimmed light of store and her soft long hairs swinging below her waist.
My brain hypnotized by her brown Orbs for a moment then it shifted to her thin luscious red lips and small mole on her chin.
I gulped lump, Unknowingly formed in my throat. I was in no state to be able to hear anything, to break the eye contact I am having.But I came out of my trance hearing a sweet Angelic voice.
?? "I am Sorry"
She said blinking her eyelashes, confused by my silence. Now If I see it clearly she is wearing a long zipper with wide jeans and is literally a.....kid.
WTF!!!!!!! She is looking 5'2, why am I not able to distinguish before the difference between adult and a kid.
Clearing my throat I left her waist and stepped back making a safe distance between us.
I said in soft tone which I never knew I had till now " You should be careful Baccha".
I ruffled her hair with a small smile , her eyes widden in shock and as I realized what I just did I retracted my hands back but what she said next, made things more awkward for both of us.
?? "I am twenty-two years Old Uncle!!!"
