Part Twenty- Five
It was Chintu. He smiled at Divya.
" Bhabi, sub thori dere mein jare hein Delhi. They want to meet you two before going," he stated.
" Theek hai Chintu. I'll be down soon but your Dadda is a sleepy head," she quipped.
Chintu laughed.
" He's always been like that," he said before walking away.
Divya closed the door turned to see Amar had already gotten up.
Later after breakfast they bid Mahua, Rajeev, Kamna, Bharat and Ankiet good-bye. Everyone had to return to work soon as they already spent ten days in Beneras planning and attending the wedding.
Divya went into the kitchen to help Maaji clean up.
" You worked so hard during our wedding let me finish up here," Divya insisted.
" You just came here and I don't want you to work," Maaji said..
" Koi baath nahin. I'm your bahu. I am here to help care for his house as my own. Go rest, I'll be fine," she insisted.
Maaji smiled and blessed her.
Later Babuji passed by the kitchen, he smiled with pride at his bahu. Then he saw his son simply eating kheer.
" Yeh kya karo ho? Tumari biwi sub kam kari hai, aur tum kuch bhi nahin!," his father yelled.
Amar turned solemn.
" Sorry Babuji, abhi jata hoon,": he muttered.
Amar stopped short to see Divya kneading the dough. He watched her some time. She felt his gaze ignore him. If she paid him too much attention she wouldn't get her work done.
" Kya hai Amar? I have to finish this work, then maybe we can go for a walk later," she said.
" Babuji sent me here to help you. Tell me what we need to do," he stated.
She smiled slightly.
" Theek hai, you can cut the vegetables. I know you cannot do aata, you'll probably just…," she trailed off.
Amar smiled.
" Yeah I probably would have ended up playing with it," he quipped as he washed his hands.
He grabbed the veggies started to cut them.
Divya needed something from the top shelf so she started searching for a stool.
" Amar where is the stool?," she inquired.
She gazed around frantically.
" It's over there in the corner," he said.
She thanked him and placed the stool where she needed it.
" You sure you'll be ok," he asked.
" Better me then you getting up here. I can't catch you with all the kheer you eat," she hissed.
Amar rolled his eyes.
" Okay whatever Ms. Supermodel," he said.
She shook her head. She took the thalis and put them down first. However as she was about to step down, she slipped. She braced herself for a crash.
Fortunately, strong arms held her.
" Tum theek toh ho na?," he asked with concern.
Maaji and Chintu rushed in.
" Kya hua Amar?," she asked.
" I just slipped, he caught me," Divya said with a blush.
Maaji shook her head.
" Be careful beta. Chalo Amar take her to the room. She has most of the work done anyway. I'll finish up. Go Divya!," she insisted.
Divya frowned a bit but let Amar carry her to the room.
" Wow how much do you weigh Divya?," he inquired.
" Stop it Amar!," she said.
He twirled her around.
" I probably did this a few times in our last janam," he quipped.
Divya smiled.
" Good so eating all that kheer is good for something," she commented.
He dropped her on the bed.
" Can you give me a proper kiss now?," he asked.
Divya blushed.
" I gave you one this morning, now it's your turn."
He edged over to her and was about to when, Chintu walked in.
" Dadda sorry, Maa sent me to see how Bhabi was," he said.
" Main hoon na, tum jao," he said.
Divya grabbed his arm to sit him down beside her. Chintu told her to call out his name if she needed anything.
" Dadda gets lazy sometimes," he said with a smirk.
Amar was about to chase after him, but Divya grabbed his hand.
He smiled and leaned in to kiss her.
Precap: Divya wants to go to London one last time to settle her family's business.
