"Next time, mix rat poison in his badam shake", Abhyansh said, Ranveer who is drinking the badam shake choked... Isha laughed looking at it, patting her brother's head...

"You are laughing at it instead of reprimanding him??", Ranveer asked his sister in disbelief

"Bhai... Rana sa is kidding", Isha said with a giggle...

"No, I'm serious...", Abhyansh said with his poker face...

"Rana sa... sh...", she said, to tolerate their bickering...

"Bhai... you need something else?? I can make it for you ", Isha asked and Ranveer shook his head glaring at his brother-in-law... "okay then... go and sleep... I washed your pyjamas the last time you wore them and placed it in the wardrobe there...", she said and he nodded

"Wait, who got you these pyjamas, where are the ones I got you??", Ranveer asked looking at his sister's pyjamas with amusement, they are cute but he didn’t remember shopping these...

It is a cozy, light pink pajama set made of a soft, plush material. The top is long-sleeved with a relaxed, oversized fit and has a round neckline. A cute bunny face is printed on the front of the top, along with the words "How are you?" The pajama pants match the top, also featuring the same soft material and a relaxed fit, with cuffed ankles. There's a small matching bunny face design on the left side of the pants, just below the waistline. The overall look is comfortable and cute, perfect for lounging or sleeping.

"Ragini got me these... cute na...", Isha said

"They are good, but mine were better...", Ranveer boasted

"Yeah... they are... especially those Pokemon ones, they are so cute bhai", Isha said

"Hai na??(right??), I too loved them the most... we'll go buy some more this weekend", Ranveer said, and Isha nodded excitedly... Abhyansh looked at the brother-sister weirdly, he could never understand their love for cartoons...

"Looks like you haven't learned your lesson, I'll gift you some more cartoons", Abhyansh said lowly so that only Ranveer could hear... Ranveer immediately stood up... he needs to leave from there as soon as possible, his brother-in-law can be very cruel sometimes, who is he kidding?? He is always cruel and he wants to escape him asap...

"Ishu bacha... it's late, I'll go and rest... good night", Ranveer said and walked away, leaving his sister in confusion...

Isha took the badam glass and walked away to the kitchen... Abhyansh walked to their room followed by his wife... both of them settled on the bed...

"Why did Ragini buy you pajamas?? You don't accept things from me but her??", he asked her calmly, trying to mask his fury and hurt...

"No no, I gave her the money... I didn't take it as a gift, I asked her to buy it as I wasn't allowed to go out then Rana sa", she said, she doesn't want to remind him about that past, but she had to clarify him... he pulled her to him kissing her head closing his eyes in pain... she knew he is regretting his every action... "don't think much...", she said snuggling into him more...

"Hm... sleep now, you need to wake up early...", he said and she nodded though she didn't understand why she would be getting up early... he ruffled her hair, his fingers gently massaging her scalp which made her fall asleep faster... after that, he got up and started working, At 3:30 in the morning, he shut his mac down and laid beside her, only to wake up in half an hour...

He got up, freshened up, and walked to their walk-in closet, took her clothes and accessories out for the day... he woke her up andasked her to freshen up, she looked at her phone and frowned to see the time, but her husband's strict aura didn't let her ask any questions...

"Wear the clothes I have taken out", he said and walked away leaving her confused...

She freshened up and wore the saree her husband took out along with the jewellery, thankfully they aren't heavy but with those ornaments and saree, she looked like a complete woman...

It’s a traditional and elegant red saree, which exudes a rich and royal vibe. The saree is made of a luxurious fabric, likely silk, featuring intricate golden zari work that adds a touch of opulence. The border of the saree is broad, with detailed patterns woven in gold. She is wearing a matching red blouse with short sleeves, which fits snugly and complements the saree perfectly. The blouse is simple, allowing the saree's intricate work to stand out.

Her accessories are traditional and ornate, including a heavy gold necklace that sits close to her neck, matching earrings, and a maang tikka (a piece of jewelry worn on the forehead), which enhances her traditional look. She also has bangles on her wrist and a nath (a traditional nose ring), adding to the cultural richness of her attire.

Her hair is styled in a neat, low bun, with a few loose strands framing her face, which adds a soft, graceful touch to her overall appearance.

She put a red bindi and is about to fill her hairline with vermillion when Abhyansh came in...

"Don't", he said walking in with barefoot... and his white kurti pant, and his chest bare, with only a red shawl covering it, his Janeyu is visible, along with his scars... his forearms, head and chest are filled with sacred Ash and by looking at it, Isha understood that her husband is now going to the temple to do his daily puja but why to wake her up and get her ready, it's not like he would take her there... none is allowed inside the temple except for him so she strikes off that thought but she is met by a shock.

"Come with me, barefoot", he said and walked away and she followed him...

Both the husband-wife walked into the passages through their chamber... Isha blindly followed her husband as she didn't know the way. After walking for about 30 minutes, they reached huge doors, which are now open, Abhyansh entered in and Isha followed him... what met her eyes shocked her... it's like she is in another world... it's actually a temple, a very huge one, surrounded by nature, and there is a lake like in many ancient temples... extremely peaceful and the place felt surreal...

"Wear these and your saree...", he said handing her Gajra and showing her to tie her saree in a traditional way... she quickly took the other end of her pallu and attached it to the other side of her blouse, and adorned Gajra(flowers) in her hair...

He started the puja, reciting different stotras and worshipping Lord Shiva, Isha stood astounded, she stood behind him, a bit far from him, with her hands joined. He finished his puja after 45 minutes, he took the vessel of milk and signed her to come to him while reciting shiv stotra, she walked to him, and he signalled her to hold his hand surprising her, she did hesitantly... both the husband-wife together did the 'Abhishek'to Lord Shiva... Isha's eyes are filled, She did hear about this temple, and Amruta, many times told her how she wished to show the temple to her, but Abhyansh wouldn't allow anyone there, he alone cleans the temple and does puja there... her husband, that moment, with his that gesture, showed how important she is in his life...
