Hello guys, thank for all the comments. 🤗 Will reply to the remaining comments individually. I hope this is less crappier than the first part but knowing myself, it's very hard. Without much ado, I give you, Chapter 2. 😃

Chapter-2- New Day, New Life

A new day, a new morning, a new beginning was what Kumud followed. If Asad thought last night's events was going to bring any change in her behavior towards him, he was badly mistaken. In her heart, something had changed but she wasn't going to let Asad know that.

Kumud walked up to the dining table and saw only Asad seated there. She turned her gaze towards the kitchen where she saw Dilshaad cooking. Ignoring Asad, she went into the kitchen and started helping Dilshaad with the cooking. Even though Dilshaad had protested at first, she had to give in at the end because Kumud strictly told her that she wasn't going to back down today so they were merrily cooking scrambled eggs when Ayaan burst into the kitchen. Seeing him, Dilshaad immediately chased him away remembering the disaster that had happened the last time he had come into the kitchen.

Curious as to why Ayaan was chased out, Kumud asked Dilshaad, "Aunty, why did you chase him out?" "Don't ask Kumud. The last time he had come into the kitchen was when none of us at home. Taking advantage of the situation, he had invited Humeira home for a romantic moonlight dinner and the great sir had decided to make it memorable and cook the food himself. When we came back at around 12, we saw the kitchen covered with tomato juice, boiled milk, broken eggs, and a whole jar of salt and what not on the floor and kitchen counter. To top it all, the gas also got over. When we asked him what had happened, he said he had thought of making pasta but then had changed his mind after the tomato juice had fallen on the floor. He then decided to bake a cake seeing the cookery book but in the end, after the milk had overflowed and dirtied the kitchen counters, he decided to just order something. When he was going out of the kitchen, he slipped on the tomato juice and caught something on the kitchen counter for support. Turns out it was the jar of salt which was kept behind the carton of eggs so the salt fell on the counter and a few eggs broke on Ayaan's head while the others crashed down to the floor. He also forgot to turn off the gas so we had to eat takeout until dinner until we got gas and I and Asad had to clean up the whole mess while the others slept without any idea of what had happened to the kitchen." Dilshaad finished with a sigh.

By the time Dilshaad was done, Kumud burst out laughing so loudly that Asad had turned to see what was going on and started giving her weird looks. "Wait a minute, so aunty, you're saying that Ayaan created the mess and Asad cleaned the kitchen along with you? Wasn't Ayaan supposed to be the one cleaning it up?" Kumud asked her between laughs still imagining Ayaan's hair with eggs and tomato juice on it. "Well the answer to that question is that," Asad interrupted before Dilshaad could answer "I was being a sweet brother and so I did all the work instead of him." Dilshaad added, "Don't believe him Kumud. Mr. Asad here was the one who gave Mr. Romantic these ideas and so was made to clean the kitchen instead of Ayaan."

Asad gave Kumud a goofy look and Kumud asked Dilshaad again, "Aunty, then how Asad is allowed into the kitchen? Shouldn't he also be banned like Ayaan?" "Well Kumud, Asad here is excellent at cooking so he is allowed because otherwise he also wouldn't be allowed to set foot in the kitchen like Ayaan and Rashid." Dilshaad answered.

"Uncle is not allowed into the kitchen either?" Kumud questioned her and Dilshaad nodded her head in a no. Just then, Nuzhat, Nikhat and Rashid called out asking for the food and then Kumud and Dilshaad carried the food to the table followed by Asad. "Bhaijaan, you're carrying the food out? It's been 2 years since you did that. To what do we owe this honor?" Ayaan asked bowing in front of Asad. Asad kept the food on the table and then slapped Ayaan on the shoulder after which he took his place at the dining table.

Kumud seeing only the seats on either side of Asad free reluctantly took her seat at the table. Breakfast got over quickly as Asad, Ayaan and Rashid had to leave for their office and Nikhat and Najma had to leave for college. Seeing that nobody was at home, Nuzhat dragged Kumud to her school to show her around the school. After roaming around for almost 3 hours, Kumud came back home with Nuzhat very tired. Not having slept well last night either, she directly went off to sleep as soon as she hit the bed.

Asad came home after a long day of work at the office. Something had gone wrong at one of the sites and he had to solve everything as his father and Ayaan were in a meeting. Seeing the time, he saw it was almost time for dinner so he rushed up to freshen up. Ayaan and Rashid had come home early while Asad was solving everything. He came down, glad to see that dinner had not started yet. He was about to sit when Dilshaad asked him, "Asad, can you go and call Kumud. I think she forgot the time." Asad went up to her room and knocked on her door and hearing no reply, he slowly opened the door to see Kumud sleeping peacefully. He admired her for sometime but then suddenly remembered he had come to call her for dinner. He went to her bad and slowly shook her. Not getting any response, he shook her harder and she finally woke up.

Kumud, shocked to see Asad in her room said the first thing that came to her mind, "What are you doing in my room?" Asad, understanding her situation calmly said, "Kumud, it's time for dinner. Ammi is calling you downstairs. I'll be here. You just freshen up and come, okay. Take your time. There's no hurry. Kumud dragged herself out of the bed and freshened up quickly and went down with Asad. Seeing that everyone was already seated, she felt embarrassed and said sorry to Dilshaad who shrugged it off and said it was fine.

Dinner unlike yesterday was quiet affair as almost all of them were tired. There were occasional laughs at Ayaan's shayari but otherwise everybody ate very quietly. Kumud, as soon as she was done went to her room to sleep as she hadn't fully woken up yet. Asad also went off to sleep after a very tiring day. They both dozed off with Asad seeing Kumud's dreams and Kumud seeing the dreams of a certain blue eyed man. They both slept soundly with Asad waking up for breakfast while Kumud slept through breakfast until lunch. Nobody woke her up due to strict orders from Dilshaad that she needed the rest.

At lunch, after Kumud had finally woken up and was fresh, there was merry talk all over the table. The day being a Sunday, they decided to show Kumud around Bhopal, they being Najma, Nuzhat, Nikhat and Ayaan. After a lot of protesting and begging, the allowed Asad to tag along with them, not wanting to keep their bhaijaan away from bhabhijaan for too long as they knew that even though they had told Rashid and Dilshaad that they would be back by 8 at night, they would stay out longer since their parents didn't get much time to spend together and it wasn't everyday that all the siblings went out together. Deciding to go all the malls first, the girls dragged Kumud along followed reluctantly by the two boys. Kumud did not buy much as she was very choosy in choosing clothes since she had a whole bundle of them back home and she didn't know the different types of salwar suits.

The 3 sisters though, having a lot of experience bought a lot of dresses which were being carried by their poor brothers. They were pestering Kumud to give it to them too but Kumud convinced them that she'll carry it herself as she was used to it. Ayaan and Asad heaved a huge sigh of relief which was gone as suddenly as it came because they were being loaded with 5 more bags each.

"Bhaijaan, I can't carry this anymore. If we stay for 5 more minutes, these 3 will buy everything in the mall. We've got to get them out of here. Kumud, who heard them shot her eyebrows up and turned towards them and the brothers pleaded to her through their eyes. "Nuzhat, Nikhat, Najma, we'll go shopping some other day. I'm getting bored. Aren't there any other places to visit in Bhopal? Please, can we go somewhere else?" Kumud pleaded to the 3N's and seeing the poor soul's face, they agreed and the 6 of them headed out. The 2A's thanked Kumud and they left to go sightseeing in Bhopal.

By the time they were done, it was already 8 so they decided to have dinner and then go home. They went to Asad's favorite restaurant which served all kinds of food. Kumud was in awe seeing such a big place and so many different kinds of dishes. Seeing her discomfort, Asad decided to make her forget the atmosphere and said, "Guys, today was fun wasn't it? I especially loved watching that guy sprinkle water for the plants in that park. Reminded me of a day which was awesome" and then chuckled. Reminded of the incident Kumud glared at him and then said, "Awesome, my foot." The other four who didn't understand the head or tail of what was going on asked them about what was going on and Asad explained the whole incident while Kumud was fuming.

The waiter came to take their order and Asad ordered the same thing for everyone not paying heed to anyone's protest as he knew Kumud would feel uncomfortable. Ayaan who saw Asad staring at Kumud understood what happened and whispered into Asad's ear, "Bhaijaan, you're already starting to take care of bhabhi's needs? Not bad, future planning and all." Asad kicked Ayaan but he accidentally hit Nuzhat's foot saying it was Ayaan who kicked and so started World War 5 between the 2 siblings while the others in the restaurant along with Asad, Kumud, Nikhat and Najma started laughing at them.

After a lot of fun during dinner, the 6 of them went on a long drive and by the time they reached home, it was already 11. Wishing good night, they all went to their respective rooms and then went off to sleep. Kumud who couldn't sleep went out to the balcony and started singing softly. Asad, who was once again out on one of his midnight walks passed her room when he heard soft singing. Seeing her on the balcony singing with her eyes closed, Asad's heart warmed at the sight and he smiled to himself. Unknown to him, Dilshaad who had stayed up waiting for them to come back sneaked up behind him and whispered in his ear, "She's very beautiful, isn't she?" Asad shocked at hearing a voice gave out a small cry and breathed out a sigh of relief when he saw it was Dilshaad. He gestured her to be silent but it was already too late, Kumud had heard him and was walking towards him. Dilshaad who was not seen by Kumud since she was covered by wall went from there and into her room leaving Asad to deal with Kumud.

"You scared me. I thought it was a kidnapper or burglar. What are you doing outside my room at this time of the night anyway?" Kumud asked him, frowning. "What is with you and assuming that I'm a thief or burglar? You did the same thing the last time too. Well, actually I was going to Ammi's room when I heard someone singing very horribly so I decided to see who it was and I saw you. I was so startled that I shouted." Asad replied with a wide smile on his face. Kumud said, "For your information, I am not a bad singer. And also, I'm seriously not in the mood to argue with you so good bye and good night." Asad, on impulse kissed her cheek and told good night to her and went off from there.

"Oh man. He said good night and now because of him I won't be able to sleep," she said touching her cheek. Asad who was watching this from afar chuckled when Ayaan came out of the room and scared him. "What a family I have, they don't even let me admire Kumud and always end up scaring me. God help me." Saying this Asad grinned and went off to sleep, sure that he would have a very content sleep. He knew he would need a good sleep as he would have to go to office again tomorrow and Kumud's thoughts he knew, would disturb him through the day.

The next day, Kumud kept as far away from Asad as she possibly could during breakfast and felt relieved when he had left for office since after yesterday, her feelings which she knew were growing for him after every action of his had grown double the amount after that kiss. Kumud, not having anything to do sat down to watch TV. She was channel surfing when she saw Cartoon Network telecasting reruns of Tom and Jerry. She sat down to watch it and before she knew it, it was already time for lunch. Since there were only three people in the house, Kumud expected it to be silent but lunch was much more fun than she expected with Ayaan saying shayaris and Dilshaad telling her the childhood stories of the 2A's and the 3N's. After lunch, she went back to watching her Tom and Jerry marathon and this time Ayaan joined her too.

Asad had decided to come home early today and reached home at 4. He rang the bell continuously but with nobody opening the door, he used his house keys to get in. Dilshaad had gone out for buying groceries while Ayaan and Kumud were too involved in Tom and Jerry to notice anything else around them. He entered the house to ear sounds coming from the living room. He went in there, ready to blast anyone who was there for not opening the door when he heard Kumud shouting 'Go Jerry' and Ayaan shouting 'Go Tom'. The two of them were bickering with each other on who will win this match of Tom and Jerry.

Asad went closer to them and shouted in Ayaan's ear. Ayaan jumped up but Kumud was still blissfully unaware. Feeling someone staring at her, she turned to see the two brothers staring at her with their mouths open. "What?" Kumud asked them, having no idea why they were behaving like that. Ayaan replied, "We are just shocked that you were so involved that you didn't even hear it when Asad bhaijaan shouted in my ear." "Oh that happens only when Tom and Jerry is going on or when I'm reading something" she said with a goofy smile. "Because of you two I had to stand outside for 20 minutes before I finally decided to use the keys to get in. And Ayaan, I'm definitely going to tell Ammi about this. You did this before two when I didn't have the keys and I had to wait outside for 2 hours and worst part of all, it was raining and I was stuck with Pneumonia for 5 days.

Ayaan said, "Sorry bhaijaan, I didn't do it on purpose. Actually I have a deal but you'll have to come aside with me" and dragged Asad to a place away from Kumud because if Kumud found out, he would get into huge trouble. He removed his mobile from his pocket and showed Asad the video of Kumud he had taken when she was watching Tom and Jerry. Her different expressions at every scene had Asad in splits. Ayaan transferred the video to Asad's mobile on his insistence and seeing the smile on his face, he knew his brother had a plan.

At dinner, Asad keeping true to his word kept silent about the whole event which took place a few hours back but when Kumud accidentally blurted it out due to Asad's indirect jibes, ending in Ayaan getting scolded again by Dilshaad and Rashid who was laughing was also scolded by Dilshaad. The whole of dinner then passed by talking about Tom and Jerry. "I would have loved to see Kumud's expressions. The way you boys are talking, they must have been very funny." Dilshaad said after both Asad and Ayaan told Dilshaad about how engrossed she was. "Your wish is my command Ammi," saying this, Asad plugged his mobile to the laptop and after 10 minutes he set everything up. He then took his laptop down and showed them all Kumud's video. In 2 minutes, the whole house except Kumud were all laughing holding their abdomen while Kumud was glaring at Asad all this time. Asad, seeing her glare started laughing more. She left from there because she knew she would start laughing too and went into her room.

Dilshaad who noticed her leave followed her and all the other followed Dilshaad and apologized to Kumud for laughing at her. "It's okay. I just left the room because I knew I would start laughing too so don't worry. Anyway, I was feeling sleepy too so I came here." Kumud said.

Everyone left the room and Kumud locked the door behind them.

"Mr. Asad Ahmed Khan, you've played a prank on me for the second time now. You have no idea who you've taken revenge from. You only saw my normal side, the Kumud you'll see after today is going to tease you so badly that you'll beg me to stop. Heeeheeeheee..." Kumud said out aloud and then went off to sleep feeling excited about the next day.
