Chapter 1:
It was 6 in the morning and Naina had woke up before anyone else in the house. It was her daily routine and she had learnt to accept it from the day of her wedding. She started preparing breakfast for all and tiffin for prof and Aadarsh, made pooja preparations for dadi1, put clothes in the washing machine and then went on to wake up everybody. Waking up Pratigya was easy but Aarushi made all the fuss of, 'Mummy bus ek min aur' , that 1 min was always = more than an hr
Pratigya heard the milkman call and ran off to take the milk so that Naina could take a breather! Newspaper came and Prof and Aadarsh disappeared behind the papers.
Pratigya and Naina knew that once Dadi1 woke up they would not get any respite so they tried to wrap up the work asap.
'Pata nahi ye ladki kab sudhregi, sasural mein naak katwa k rahegi' are ladkia kabhi itni der tak soti hain bhala?' the familiar voice echoed and Naina knew that Aarushi was still asleep and Dadi1 got her 1st prey of the day'
But, once the breakfast table was ready, all of this was forgotten. It was the best start of the day for Pratigya, when the whole family gathered together to have food. The Saxenas sat at the round table and had hot paranthas, achchar and 'tea'. Aadarsh didn't like paranthas so Naina had made him cheese sandwiches, his favorite.
The phone rang and Pratigya went to attend the call. It was Samira, her best friend, at the other end. š
