Just out of curiosity, there were so many people at home - Inder's parents, kalyani's parents Kalyani. What do these people do resistricting themselves in their rooms so much?

For all we know they might all be accommodated Five star...like at the claridges or Taj😆 . For others it's still a destination wedding ?

My last comment got saved before I finished and the edits are not sticking. This is what I was trying to say:

A big part of the charm in your work is the titles. When I first started reading, I didn't pay much attention to them. I don't make that mistake now.

Why didn't Mahesh stop by to ask her? Noone asked her if she ate on her first day in the house. She will just have to fend for herself. Go find that kitchen and feed yourself Viveka.

forget to eat is really the last thing that will happen to me as well.

may be at times won’t find time but forget, never 👎

let’s see if this guy addresses this.

Waiting for her to have her diner now 🙇‍♀️

She did not forget!

She didnt want to admit to him she was too embarrassed to go look for the kitchen and ask for food. Pride? New member of the house nerves?

She just tells him that she forgot.

See I just wrote based on what recollection I have of wealthy friends' homes in Delhi. When extended family visits, for an illness/ parent's passing or wedding, they head out to visit other relatives in the same city or go shopping, or eating out, or taking care of work or family matters in their own rooms.

There is no rule that family cannot gather in the living room and chat around the dinner table.

But I have noticed large houses of wealthy people are often still as a cave. Only the servants are out and about. If the house has a 80+ Dadi or Dadaji then they usually are sitting outside in the sun😃

Oh yeah, that too

I know of families in Delhi back in the day who also had relatives staying in 5 star hotels. Even though its the norm in America usually

Things would have been so different if they were married under different circumstances. But then, they wouldn't have been married if things were different. Satyen is a smart guy. He knew the breakup wasn't due to dearth of love between the two. Left to themselves, neither of them may have taken the first step to reconcile, no matter how much their hearts broke. Even if they did, there would have been too many issues to deal with just to get them married. He killed two birds in one stone. Got them married, and got them married without the pomp. Ab bass woh jaldi se thik ho jaaye. Everything else can wait.

Raanav is super stressed because of his Dad's condition. The guy is barely sleeping. He must also be feeling guilty of marrying Viveka in the way he did (happy, but guilty 😃). And now knowing that she is lonely and skipping meals must be only adding to his guilt. It must be a sad thing to realize that his wife doesn't feel comfortable enough to feed herself in their own home. Not to forget, no one even bothered to ask her for dinner. I won't be surprised if Smrita (and her brother's family) is making things hard at the hospital. That's probably why he doesn't want Viveka to be at the hospital. That, and the fact that his Dad will talk non-stop with this newly added member of the family 😆

Viveka is going through what every girl goes through during the first few days of marriage. She is missing her parents and the comfort of her own house. But it is what it is. I loved how Akash said "Aaaja beta, main chhod doonga raat ko". There was a certain desperation and longing to see his favorite child for a little while. They are in the same city, yet the fact that she won't be coming to their home every night must be disheartening.

Raanav must have figured that out too.

More than pride I would say embarrassing to ask for food.

It’s her first day. Anyone would want to be invited for food or in this case asked for or asked / provided for same by servant.

Bichari.
my I phone for some reason prompted Harit’s name.

Nisha the iPhone also remembers your story 🤣

Pritee you are so adoarble. It warms my heart. For being a two bit writer I sure receive immense adulation on these pages.☺️

Thank you.

I do a sucky job of saving my work or going back to look at it or read it. I had to think for a bit what you meant by Harit
