Next Morning
"Pooja... kaisi pooja?" Haseena asked, confused, as Dadi ji told her about their family's post-marriage ritual.
"Hamare ghar ka niyam hai, bahu. Naye jode apne milan ke baad hamare pustaini haveli jakar, kuldevi aur purvajon ka ashirwad lete hain, taki unhe jald se jald santan sukh mil sake..." Sakshi, Dev and Karishma's mother, said with a smile, which tensed Haseena.
"Isliye tum aur Anu kal subah hi hamare saath Kailashpur chaloge... Aur haan, bahu, dhyan rahe ki pooja mein kuch bhi gadbad nahi hona chahiye... kuch bhi!" Dadi ji said coldly, enough to send shivers down Haseena's spine.
"Ji...!" Haseena nodded, looking at maa who was smiling at her.
"Matlab kal hum sab ghar jayenge..!" Avni, Anubhav's aunt, said excitedly. However, her excitement didn't last long as Dadi ji glared at her.
"Sorry maa ji..!" She mumbled.
While Haseena continued to look at her mother-in-law.
"Kya hua Haseena, koi baat hai kya?" Maa asked softly, making Dadi look at Haseena suspiciously.
"Nahi maa..bas aise hi..!" She gave a soft smile to them.
HASEENA❤
"Maa..!" I knocked on my mother-in-law's room door as I needed to talk to her urgently.
"Haseena... andar aa jao...!" She welcomed me with her precious smile, just like she did during my grah pravesh ritual.
"Kuch baat karni thi aapse...!" I spoke softly, looking around for my father-in-law.
"Tumhare Baba office gaye hain, toh aaram se bolo...!" She said with a smile.
Does she read minds? Oh, maybe she caught my gaze.
"Woh pooja ke bare mein puchhna tha, I mean niyam kya hai uske liye?" I asked hesitantly.
"Niyam... niyam kuch nahi hai, jo living room mein Didi ne kaha tha, bas wahi hai..!" She said smilingly.
"Hmm... woh... milan wali baat?" I glanced at her nervously.
"Wahi jo tum samjh rahi ho..!" She said with a smile.
"Woh... Maa (she raised her brows questioningly), aapko kuch bataye toh aap naraz nahi hongi na?" I asked nervously.
"Tum aur Anubhav kareeb nahi aaye ho?" She asked questioningly. I hummed because I didn't want to disobey their ritual.
I am not the kind of person who believes in sagun apsagun, but this is an old family believe, and I can't take any risks. Warna kuch gadbad ho jaye aur sabko pata chala ki humne jhoot bola tha toh pata nahi kya hoga.
"Par maa ji aur Jiji (Bua) toh keh rahi thi ki?" She questioned.
"Nahi... aisa kuch nahi hua hai... woh Anubhav ji...(I narrated everything) bas... kuch hua nahi.. toh kya ab bhi hum pooja kar sakte hain, koi problem toh nahi hogi na?" I asked hesitantly.
"Nahi beta, aisa mat karna (I felt tension in her words)...Didi ne yahi galti ki thi...phir unke aur bhai sahab ke saath... (she paused)"
"Kya hua tha?" I asked worriedly.
"Nahi kuch nahi... par tum yeh galti mat karna... tumhare aur Anubhav ke paas aaj raat ka samay hai, aaram se soch samjh lo...!" She said, her sweet smile disappeared now.
"Hmm..!" I nodded and walked to Anubhav's room.
