Relationship riddles

"Dupatta hum kamre mein chhod aaye Teeku said without flinching.

"Ghar par pehane rakhen beta, Bauji aapse bade hain, Rishu bhayya, Harshu..., hamare zamaane mein aapki Dadi saas humse kehti thi, ki Bauji kea age bhi pehne rakhen Lakshmi giggled as if it was the silliest thing

Teeku looked at her calmly as to how a woman that insisted and scolded her sons constantly to address their wife as "aap wants the DIL to show such unusual respect to the men

So not keeping with the times

"Jaayen beta, Harit aa gaye kya dekh lein aur bula lein khaane pe

Teeku nodded but went back to her room with Chandu and wept hugging him, he went off to sleep immediately, his superheroes and cars were all packed away she was told until they could "figure stuff out Lakshmi told Teeku in Hindi.

She had willingly walked into this marriage. She had no one to blame. She stoodf by the window staring out, Harit words hurt her a lot, she wiped away tears refusing to cry any more and threw her dupatta over her shoulders and went out to help with dinner

Meeta Bhabhi texted

"Naya ultrasound dekhengi? Pehle call Karen hamein she urged with a wink

She called, "Aur kya kehte hain Harit bhai saab?

"Bhabhi, Chandu flung a toy at Gauri and so they are at ER, it split her eyebrow open Teeku whispered carrying a bowl of matar paneer out of the kitchen

"Teeekooo, kaise hua beta

"The girls kept whispering the wrong answers he flipped and threw it

"Tchh tchh... Ma kahin kya aap?

"Nahi... so gaye abhi who... pata nahi bhabhs

"Kya hua?

"U know everything seems so daunting... so many rules, so many rituals... this kid is unlike he was in Delhi Teeku spoke calmly

"Arey, to? Aap jaanti hain Chandu ko

"Not any more Bhabs

"Harit kya kehte hain?

"He thinks the kid is spoiled rotten

"Kitni galat baat hai, yahan to Surbhi ko har cheez pakdate hain... Vivaan ke saath kitne masti se cricket khelte hain... I have not seen that kid cry

"Here that's all he does

"alka Bhabhi naraaz hain?

"Suman Bhabhi naraaz hain Teeku said defiantly

"Sorry keh dein raje

"I didn't do anything wrong Bhabhi, the kid was annoying Teeku whispered as her MIL smiled passing by with a bowl of achar she she had just scooped out from the cloth tied jars downstairs soaking in the sun

"Harit hain na aapki side? Meeta asked panicking

"Nahi... he said I am as rotten as Chandu Teeku said softly

"Teeku... How can he? Can I talk to him?

"I told you... they aren't home yet

"Aayenge to baat karwayengi?

"Bhabhi... let it go...

"Aap dukhi na hona achha? Ma ko dein phone?

"Nahia a gaye shaayad, abhi sab khaayenge... I seriously need a life Bhabhi... I know its only a month

"You haven't been on your honeymoon yet, so shut up Meeta ordered

Teeku's insides whirled when she realized how he had kissed her senseless hours ago

"I don't know... Bhabhi... Between his work... his family... His urge to umm... you know... do the right thing

"Don't say that Teeks

"I am not... I mean... its just a trip right?

"Ofcourse not... unless u manage to kick all the Vaidyas out and stay in bed for a week Meeta giggled

"Yeah like that will happen Teeku sighed resigned... her tone revealing a sense of defeat

Meeta hung up and sat staring out the window Shyam patted her head and sat by her... "Nand ko yaad kiya ja raha hai?

"Jee Dad Meeta smiled half heartedly...

"Dikhaye aapne photo? "Gudiya ke?

"She is too busy cozying up to her new hubby she smiled, her smiling not reaching her eyes and Shyam noticed it.

"Kaha aapne, Main aur Mom ...Dilli jaane ka plan hai, hum unka apartment dekh aayenge?

"Oh no I forgot Meeta reported distractedly...

Wow. Early evening update. Thanks Much Nisha . Lovely

Lakshmi looks like has moved on older and wiser . It's back to business as usual for her and all's bk to normal ( at least she is wanting it to be bk to normal) in her world making sure that her pickle jars are all in tact , ladies of the house have their dupattas in place, ha ha and things are ready when people are assembled for dinner.

It's tough to stay angry with this lady , her ways of the world may seem archaic, but it's just her limitation given her exposure. I hope Avantika sees that limitation and takes it in her stride. Poor lady is trying to ease her Dil's dupatta troubles with a joke and smile passing by 😊

Letting someone special get close, touch our heart and body is very exhilarating and at the same time terrifying especially when that kind of love is first for you . When someone breaks that heart, it does hurt terribly. But Does she have to prove anything to anybody... I don't think so. Good to have Teeku wipe her tears and move on thinking about her sense of self worth, and help her MIl out with dinner.

Old and New , what we see is two tough women , two strong women on their own, after the chaos . Kudos 👏

Roorkie feels the ripples after the report. Guptaji is not amiss to Meeta's concerns . Words talk... but even smiles talk. Words have an incredible effect on people . So Do Smiles, the ones that reach the eyes and the ones that don't.

it will be business a usual for Lakshmi, she has given teeny her pearls of wisdom, dupatta et al expecting her to comply and then simply moving on. its a different story with aggrieved parties -human is not going to be so forgiving, she might at the outset but if in the future chandu s given any kind of preferential treatment she will freak out. similarly teeku is not going to be so forgiving of Harit and his harsh words for her. and harit himself might feel terrible but in this attempt to ensure that his wife doesn't cause all the troubles in the house will tend to be not so remorseful, expecting her to understand and realize that he screams at her because he considers her to be his own. twisted logic but men are quite dense at times.

Thanks for the early update Nisha

It's early days and in a marriage we need time and patience for the first couple of years for everyone to adjust

I don't expect Teeku ... no ... Avantika to be forgiving of Harit, but if he is not going to show his remorse for the mindless words he let rip at her... then I'm sorry . he is an a**. He can argue it out saying she was impatient , he needn't agree with her the way she feels that it's not her fault , no probs ...but I do hope he lets her know that he is sorry and not sitting on a pedestal of sanctimonious BS of keeping his wife in limits so as to not cause trouble , when he breaks that himself now and then. As for Lakshmi, I would rather have her give her sermon expecting it to be complied and move on instead of keeping chandu in her lap, crying herself waiting out for the party to arrive to create another round of ruckus.

So true...

Oh boy, Teeku is going to the not crying mode... speaking for myself, that is not a sign of cessation of hostilities. It is in fact the start of cold war...again speaking just for myself. 😆

Cold War is better than an open war of going to Delhi with Chandu now, me thinks. 😆

Strife and Delhi go together for Harit at least with his wife's matters. 😆
