  "One last bite bitiya.. Aaa aaa. "   Muskaan opened her small mouth fully and Devyani lovingly fed her. "Good girl." She smiled at the little girl and turned towards Savitha. " Savitha please give her water and change her dress."  Savitha picked her up from the feeding chair and went inside. Devyani leaned back in her chair. There was a look of perfect contentment on her face. Finally all her grandchildren are happy and settled in their life. But since Anjali's marriage she noticed something was bothering her Chote. She asked him few times also, he didn't say anything. She had a rough idea what might be the reason. They didn't have a wedding ceremony like others, in their life many painful memories are there. Her chote did a big mistake. But with the grace of Devi maiyya they are together again. But somewhere she could see those old wounds causing them pain. Maybe time will heal everything.  "Nani.."  Arnav came to the living room ...

 Arnav followed his wife carrying a bunch of shopping bags. His wife excitedly continued her shopping at the bada bazaar of Udaipur.       Yesterday after checking into the Oberoi-Udaivilas hotel, he immediately left for the factory which was located in the outskirts. He returned back late after the meeting and found his wife waiting for him. That sight warmed his sight.  They ordered room service to bring the food. Even late night his business calls continued. Due to continuous calls and he couldn't even talk to her properly. Her slight annoyance when his phone rang continuously didn't go unnoticed by him.   So he decided to spent full day with his wife after switching off his phone, which was a first. He never bothered to impress any woman. They came to him easily. She was not fond of branded and expensive things. Other than functions, she never wore dresses gifted by him. He wondered how can he please her?       His previous...

 Madhumati looked in envy at the luxurious arrangements done for the wedding reception. Every single thing reflected the wealth and power of Raizadas. Arnav and Khushi looked at the cameraman, arms linked, with identical smiles on their faces.  "Truly exuberant and grand, that flower decoration stage is what dreams are made of!" One of the guests exclaimed from her back. "The canopy of hanging flowers in the backdrop along with glass panels and large flower vases makes this stage decor look romantic! " another girl added. "Leave all that and look at the bride and groom. They look perfect together. "  "The girl looks so young, but she is very beautiful. No wonder Arnav fell for her." The conversation between the girls continued   and Madhumati rose from her seat and walked towards the exit door. She didn't want to hear more. This was the life she wanted for Payal. The life of a princess. But that girl ruined everything as usual.  As she walked...

 From the past thirty minutes Akash, Anjali, Vijay, Payal, NK , Lavanya and Vivek were waiting for Arnav and Khushi to join them. Finally the door bell rang. Payal opened the door for Arnav and Khushi.  "You guys are late." Vijay shouted from the living area.  "Unlike you people, we have a kid to take care. She was not in a mood to sleep.  "  Arnav addressed the small crowd while seating himself next to Akash.  Anjali and Vijay's wedding ceremony is tomorrow evening. Entire Raizada family, Vijay's family and Guptas landed in Dubai before one week. As the wedding was happening in Atlantis , Arnav booked Royal Bridge suite for everyone in Atlantis itself.  All the pre wedding functions like Sagai, Mehndi, Sangeet and haldi were done in the last 3 days. As the wedding will take place as per malayali tradition, all the pre wedding rituals were done as per Lucknowi tradition. Today instead of Bachelor party Akash suggested a get together in his suite. ...

     She heard from elders that the first meal you cook for your new family must be perfect, as it will be an unforgettable memory for you, your husband, and your in-laws. It is believed that the sweet dish will add sweetness to your relationship with everyone. After making aloo puri and carrot halwa she went to the dining door carrying the dishes followed by Hari Prakash.  Everyone was waiting in the dining hall for the breakfast. She wished good morning to a smiling Akash, mamaji and Anjali. Her husband's face was blank as usual. She wondered why he was wearing formals? She served breakfast to everyone and waited for their opinion. "Khushi bitiya sit and have breakfast with us. Hari prakash will do the rest." Nani told her with a smile. Khushi occupied the seat next to her husband and served herself. "Arrey wah Khushi. Aloo puri is yum. " Anjali told her with a bright smile. " Haan bitiya. Its really nice. " Nani agreed with a smile. "You didn...

Using the top of the box as a guide, she moved the different clusters around until they're in the right places. She connected the clusters together and pressed in finishing pieces.  Khushi sighed in satisfaction looking at the 1000 Piece Creekside Villa Jigsaw Puzzle which she solved in 2 days time. Solving jigsaw puzzle is her hobby.  When she was a kid her elder brother used to bring jigsaw puzzles for her with his pocket money. She used to solve it quickly and then would demand for a new one. Her brother was the one used to helped her solving difficult puzzles.  When Shasi brought her home after her parents and brother passed away, she used to cry day and night asking for her family.  That time to cheer her up Payal brought her jigsaw puzzles. Every week she bought her a new puzzle. This will be the last puzzle in gupta house, she thought sadly. This was her home, even if her family did not accept her fully, she accepted them as family from the time she started li...

 Devyani looked at her granddaughter who was angry and helpless at the moment. "Anjali bitiya don't be upset. I will talk to Khushi's parents. We will tell them what kind of people they are. We cannot simply sit and watch those people destroy the life of an innocent girl." "I don't think there is any use nani. From Khushi what I came to know is her family almost finalized everything and that poor girl was emotionally blackmailed to say yes. I really want to help her nani. Shall I talk to chote? Maybe he can do something to stop Shyam." "No Anjali bitiya. Don't talk to chote now. First you tell me something. You really like that girl?" She looked at her Nani and answered immediately.  "I love her Nani. It is impossible for someone not to love her. She is like a sister to me. I already told you know nani about her past and her foster family. " Anjali's sighed helplessly. "Then how about visiting Gupta house with a proposal?...
