"Ishwari! You have to prepare a sweet dish for us! The first dish you prepare after your wedding should be a dessert! A sweet! So, all your life will be as sweet as the one you prepare!", Draupadi said while everyone was talking in the hall. Vaishnavi, who sat near Kunti, said, "thanks for the hint, Krishnaa! I'll add an extra 2 cups of sugar then!", making everyone laugh. Karenumati nudged her from beside and said, "Oh yeah yeah! You give us the normal one only! You will add Extra sweet for your already sweet husband, isn't it?", making everyone giggle at her teasingly.

She couldn't take the teasing anymore and excused herself, "I- I'll go prepare the sweet!", and immediately left the place with irritation, which caused her cheeks to flare in red. Vijaya said, "look at how red her cheeks have become!", everyone giggled again. She was listening to this while going into the kitchen, and muttered to herself, "oh my! My cheeks did not go red because of blushing! I understand my friends now! This is why my friends were Okay with marriage, not with relatives that come along!", and facepalmed herself. Arjun was just looking at her the whole time, and understood her uneasiness with the whole situation, and it's not her blushing away or something.

Arjun said looking at the disappearing figure of his wife and said, "Uh! Guys! I- just- I have work there! I'll be right back!". Valandhara said, "Arjun! At least look at us while saying this! Your eyes don't seem to leave your wife!", and vaishnavi stopped at her track to glare at him. Devika said, "She is going to be with you all your life for you to look at her, Arjun!". Arjun gulped as he just worsened the situation for her. "Go! Go and do your *Work*", Bheem said and laughed loudly. Vaishnavi shook her head in disbelief at him, and turned around to go to the kitchen.

Arjun didn't waste time and followed her, making everyone laugh more at his restlessness. Vaishnavi shouted in the kitchen, "Everybody! Out!", making them shriek in fear. Arjun came in and slowly said, "Everyone! Please wait outside until my queen says!", they all obeyed him and left the kitchen. He went towards her slowly playing with his angavastra, and stood beside her. With an awkward expression, he said, "D- Did you feed Simba?", making her glare at him more. He facepalmed himself and started saying, "Look! I- I'm sorry! I just made the situation worse! They- they don't seem to stop teasing me and you! Why don't you just go along with this until it dies down?".

She starts making something with the flour, while saying, "I'm okay with it! It's just that, they are teasing me for something that I was least interested in doing! Marrying you!". His heart felt a sting of pain, and he said, "Why are you behaving indifferent towards me? Don't you care about me?". She ignored him and started to knead flour, while he turned her around towards him and asked, "I'm asking you!".

"Tch! Arjun, let me do my work! It's kinda my duty now to prepare a stupid sweet!", she snapped, trying to get out of his hold. He held her tight, "Oh! Is it? Then, it's also your duty to please your husband!". She looked at him sharply and said unbothered, "Not gonna happen!", and turned back around to cook. He looked at her hurt and said, "I'm trying to mend things between us, and you- why are you always being rude? Is it because you did something you were least interested in? Mar- Marrying me?", he choked.

She felt her heart ping her a slight pain on hearing him choke his tears, but controlled herself. He continued, "You could have killed me instead of being lik-", hearing that, she immediately turned around and slapped him hard. He winced slightly and his face jerked sideways, with all the flour paste on her hand transferred to his cheeks.

She held him by his Angavastra and pulled his face towards her, "How many times I have to tell you to not speak like that, Arjun! I'll kill you if you die!", she said with tears. He turned his head towards her with his hand on his cheek and said, "This doesn't hurt much! But your behaviour is killi-", she pecked him on his lips cutting him off. He was startled for a moment and looked at her, "I told you not to utter bullshit, Arjun!", she said in a warning tone, tears streaming down her face.

He shook his head, "but-", she again pecked him on his lips, stopping him from speaking. Arjun's eyes widened at her sudden barrage of pecks on his lips, his heart starting to beat faster in his chest. He tried to protest, tried to say something, but every time he opened his mouth, she just silenced him with another one of her pecks. Finally, he gave up trying to speak, his hands moving to wrap around her waist, pulling her closer to him.

She held his neck and started kissing him, while he lifted her legs up and wrapped them around him and lifted her up. He then made her sit on the kitchen slab, both not breaking the kiss. Her hands went into his hair grabbing them, pulling his face more towards her, not caring about all the flour paste being smeared on him. He held her by her waist and was also pulling her more towards him so close, even air didn't have oxygen. They broke the kiss with the lack of oxygen and leaned on their foreheads. Breathing heavily, she said, "Don't you dare-", and looked up at him sharply, "Don't you dare speak like that again!", she warned him. He held her cheek with his thumbs tracing them, "I promise! I wouldn't!", and pecked her lips twice.

She immediately realised what was happening and quickly pushed him away. She got down of the slab and said, "How dare you kiss me?!!", to which he looked at her taken aback and started laughing sarcastically, "Ha! Excuse me ma'am! You are the one who kissed me! Not the otherwise!". She gasped and pushed him by his shoulders, "Huh! Don't lie Mr. Always Pessimistic!". He kept his hands on his hips and started to chuckle in amusement, "li- lie? Wow! Ma'am! You were the one who got over- sentimental and pecked me like 37 times! Huh! Liar you!", he pointed at her.

She gasped hard at the allegations which were obviously true, and pushed him by his chest, "How dare you call me a liar? Get out! Get out of this place and let me cook in peace!", she said and turned her head away. Arjun smirked and folded his hands behind him, "Uh! Ma'am! You want me to go out? Like this?", and pointed at himself. She looked at him and saw that from his lower abs, up until his hair, even inside his hair, all the flour was smeared. And it didn't look like it was unintentional, anyone could easily understand that they were making out.

She facepalmed, making the flour smear on her forehead as well. He chuckled at her cuteness and looked at her amusingly. She immediately went and held his shoulders and started to speak in a really suspiciously sweet way, "Arjunnn!!! Please don't go like this! They are already teasing me to death! And i- I can't man! Can't with their teasing! It's like 30 people vs you and me! We will get through this teasing phase together! So pleaseeee! Don't go!", and smiled sheepishly.

Arjun smirked and said, "Oh! How sweet!", and pulled her cheeks. He continued, "If I should not go out, then... Clean me up by yourself!". She left him and scoffed, "heh! Like hell!", and turned towards the counter, but Arjun dramatically said, "Haan! Then I'll go out like this only! Bhratashreeee!! Bhabhishreeee! Look what she did with m-", she immediately closed his mouth and shook her head wide eyed, with him smiling through her hand and wink at her.

Stomping her legs frustratedly, she nodded her head and left him. He smiled widely and sat on the chair beside him, "Go ahead, wife! Clean clean!", he closed his eyes and sang out. She nodded her head with her hands on her hips and poured half box of flour on him and started laughing. He blew the flour which was on his mouth and looked at her accusingly, while she was just laughing at his state. Nodding, he took the box out of her hand, which surprised her and she started running from him.

"Arjun noo! Sorry!", she was shouting but he didn't give any heed to her and continued Chasing her. Soon, she came out of the kitchen running and Arjun, who was chasing her, tripped on something and fell down. She was laughing clutching her stomach and tripped on the same thing he did, and fell over him. Arjun started laughing at her, and poured the remaining flour on her. She started hitting him and saw that there was a banana peel, which made them trip, giving her a nostalgic feel of Deja Vu.

"Kanha!??", she muttered and looked up, only to find people were staring at them and controlling their laughter, Krishna being one of them, eating banana. Vaishnavi brightly smiled at him and went towards him. "Kanha!! When did you come? Did you have something to eat?", she bombarded him with questions. Krishna laughed heartily and replied, "Awh! My sister! My stomach is already full by the hospitality I'm receiving from you in your house! Is your husband taking care of you well?", to which she scoffed and said dusting the flour away, "I don't need anyone to take care of me!", but lost her balance while dusting off. Arjun held her arm preventing her from falling, which earned a giggle from Rukmini, "Definitely! You clearly need no one to take care of you!", making everyone giggle. Vaishnavi looked down shaking her head, Thinking about her life decisions.

Krishna immediately turned towards Arjun and said, "Oh my! You are filled with flour!", to which he replied, "Yeah, Madhav! We were playing some stupid game!". Krishna shook his head chuckling and said, "No! I'm talking about the flour paste on you! Oh! You got it on your hair- ahhh!", Krishna shreiked as vaishnavi stomped on his leg hard.

She shot him a look and gestured for him to shut up, to which he smiled sheepishly. Everyone noticed the paste on Arjun soon after, and started smiling mischievously. "Hmm? What Arjun? You were helping her with cooking! Am I right?", Bheem asked to which Arjun nodded his head, while Vaishnavi shook hers. They both shared a look and did the opposite this time, yet different. Everybody started laughing at them, meanwhile Vaishnavi mentally facepalmed herself smiling looking down. She looked at Arjun who was flushed as well and avoided looking at them.

'Wow Kanha! Thanks for embarrassing me!'

'Its fun, Ishwari! Hehe!!'

***

Bheem only left the plate without eating, as it was a non eatable, "Hmm! Vaishu! What is this! Veryyy tasty!!!", to which she smiled and said, "Oh! This is dessert called cake! I don't have many ingredients here, but I'm glad it turned out well!". Sahadev said, "well? It turned out amazing!". She smiled and was glad that everyone liked her dish. Arjun, who was eating the cake with a content expression, looked at her and smiled, which she ignored. His smile died down, and nodded thinking something.

"Jyesth Bhrata Yudisthir! I'm thinking that I'll take Ishwari out for some days! If you give me permission...", to which she chocked on her cake and looked at him flabbergasted. He threw her a small smile and looked back at Yudisthir, who gave a nod of approval. "Before going, there will be a party for you guys' marriage, tonight! Vasudev! I'm glad you came here! You also enjoy the party". Krishna looked at Yudisthir and said, "Oh Jyesth Bhrata! I was going to Dwaraka but I just wanted to tell you something! Regarding the arrangements for Rajasuya yagna! You have to Start it, it's for your good!".

Yudisthir thought about it and said, "We will discuss this in private, Vasudev!", to which Krishna nodded. Draupadi told everyone, "Now! Let's all get ready for the party? Tomorrow Aarya Arjun and Ishwari will leave as well!". The kids cheered and went towards their chamber to get ready by themselves with their tiny little efforts, which made them all chuckle.

All the ladies flocked and took vaishnavi to the chamber and were helping her get ready, while she was helping the kids. "I swearrr guyss! I'll get ready by myself! Don't worry!", to which the ladies replied, "How is it possible!? The newly wed should look amazing in front of everyone, especially your husband!", and giggled.

'Huff! When are they gonna stop with all the teasing Mann!'

Suthanu took Vaishnavi's jewellery box and was exploring stuff. The 8 year old found a necklace and anklets to wear them, but vaishnavi explained her that she was too tiny to wear them. With a sad face, she explored more, as she wanted to wear atleast one jewellery of her Maa. She beamed as she found an earring, which was extremely beautiful, but couldn't find its pair.

"Maa! I want this! I'll wear this one!", vaishnavi looked at suthanu and smiled, "Aww! But it doesn't have a pair, Tanu!". Suthanu pouted and said, "But- But I want to!". Draupadi said, "Suthanu! Don't disturb Maa! She is getting read-", but was interrupted by vaishnavi, "Oh krishnaa! It's okay! Who will she ask if not for her Maa?", and slightly pinched suthanu's nose. "Where is the other pair, Maa?", suthanu asked to which she just sighed and said, "It's with your Kakashree!", making all the ladies turn their head towards her. To escape another teasing session, vaishnavi said, "Uh! Tanu! Come on! Let's go and ask him only!", and carried suthanu to go away from them. Once she escaped the room, she sighed in relief but still could hear their giggles faintly.

Vaishnavi immediately went to Arjun's chamber, their chamber, to get the earring by herself. She put suthanu down and started searching for it, while suthanu ran towards Arjun, who was talking with his brothers and Krishna in the balcony of his chamber. Suthanu pulled Arjun's little finger to call him, which he noticed and carried her in his arms. "Little Suthanu! What do you want?", he asked cooing. Suthanu said, "Kakashree! Maa is searching for her earring! And she said you have it! Give it to her please!", which made everyone look inside the chamber, where they found vaishnavi vigorously searching for something.

Bheem said, "I think you should go and help her, Arjun!", and pushed him inside the chamber, taking suthanu out of his hands. Arjun was pushed into the chamber and he shook his head, went towards her slowly. She turned around to look at some other place, only to face him. He coughed and asked, "You need anything?", to which she replied scoffing, "Definitely not you!", and pushed him away of her way.

Yudisthir looked at his brothers and said, "I hope she accepts him", and looked down. Krishna looked at him smilingly and said, "Oh she already did, Jyesth! She just needs a push to come out of her denial! Don't feel guilty about what happened! Everything happens for a reason!", and kept his hand on Yudisthir's shoulder. Yudisthir nodded contently as he felt Little less guilty.

Vaishnavi entered the balcony, while Arjun followed her as well. She looked at them and said, "Oh! You all are here as well! I didn't notice!", she said expressionless. Nakul asked, "Vaishu! Why do you need that earring anyways? All of a sudden!", to which she looked at him shockingly and said, "haww! That's my favourite earring! If not for your brother, i would have fought for it until I got it in my hands! I got it from Bareilly! Bareilly's bazaar! And here, there is no Bareilly to get something similar like this!", and pouted.

"Bareilly? Where is that?", sahadev asked. "Bazaar?", Nakul joined. She mentally facepalmed herself and said, "Sorry! You- You guys wouldn't understand-", bheem cut her off by saying, "Oh! It must be a place from Kaliyug! Right vaish?". She looked at them shocked and asked, "Y- You guys? How did you guys-", she was unable to complete her sentence, her expression being replicated by Yudisthir.

"K- Kaliyug?", Yudisthir asked them, to which Bheem mentally facepalmed himself. Vaishnavi glared at Arjun, as he told everything about her to them without her permission, and left the place. He followed her, while the other brothers were explaining everything to Yudisthir.

Meanwhile, Arjun ran after her and held her arm to turn her around towards him, "Wait Ishwari! Let me explain!". She glared at him and said, "How dare you tell them everything about me, without asking me?". He replied, "Listen, it's not -", but she cut him off, "Everytime I try to give you a chance, you always disappoint me, Arjun!", she shook her head and wanted to leave. Arjun pulled her towards him by her arm and said, "listen once, will you? It was Draupadi, who told everyone everything! Not me!". Her look softened and she let out a 'oh' and bobbed her head. He looked at her amusingly and asked, "What? Really? If it's me i disappointed you, and if it's your sister 'oh' huh?", he imitated her.

He continued, "At this point, you are searching for reasons to hate me!", she looked at him widening her eyes, as what he said was right. She looked down unable to face him, while he continued, "Why are you like this, Ishwari? Wh- What else do you want me to do? Why aren't you giving me a chance?". She burst out saying, "Because I'm afraid that if I give a chance to you, I'll fall for you again! And I'm afraid that you'll betray me again!", she said with tears.

He held her cheeks and said, "I would never do that again, Ishwari! If I ever betray you again, consider me dea-", she cut him off by slapping him. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO SPEAK LIKE THAT!", And hugged him, resting her head on his chest, playing with his Jewellery. Even though he winced in pain, he hugged her back tightly. He kissed her head caressing it. "Maa!", suthanu came calling and searching for her. Vaishnavi came back to senses and pushed him away, "G- Get lost!", and carried Suthanu. "Tanu! We will get another earrings okay?", to which the little girl nodded. Arjun looked at the disappearing figure, while he took the earring out of his pocket and kept it near his chest, "One chance, Ishwari! I'll take you to a place tomorrow, where you were yearning to go! And that place will decide my future with you!", and kissed the earring.

***

"Girlll", someone came and hugged vaishnavi, who was in the middle of the hall in the party. "Satya!! Girlll!", vaishnavi hugged her back tightly. "How have you been? You good?", satyabhama held her cheek and asked, to which she nodded. Satyabhama asked, "I heard there was a lot of drama that happened? Spill the tea!", to which Vaishnavi just giggled and started to tell her the whole thing.

"Oh my god! All this drama!", someone interrupted her gaining their attention. "Jambavati!", vaishnavi hugged her as well. Krishna interrupted them, "Well well! All these pretty ladies", He said in english, which no one understood. Vaishnavi giggled and said, "Kanha! What is this? They wouldn't understand if you say like that!", confusing them even more. Draupadi asked, "Which language are you guys speaking?".

Vaishnavi sat them down and started to explain, soon there was a huge group, basically all the people in the party surrounded her explaining English. They just let out 'oh' but didn't understand a thing. Vaishnavi shook her head as it is really hard to make them understand the language. Krishna said, "If I sing in that language, you guys will understand, wouldn't they, Ishwari?". Vaishnavi just nodded her head, unable to understand what he meant. Soon, there was music heard, which was played by her musicians, and Krishna started singing.

Pretty Lady Pretty Lady Pretty Lady Can't Take My Eyes Off You Pretty Lady Pretty Lady Pretty Lady

Krishna circled around his wives and started singing. Vaishnavi was skeptical about this song, as in why this song to this situation. As she was thinking, Arjun suddenly emerged from between the crowd and started singing for her.

Raebareli Mein Tu Beech Bazaari Jab Husn Dikhane Jayegi Hosh Udane Wali Shokh Nazar Ke Jo Pench Ladane Jayegi

She understood why this song was chosen by Krishna and glared at him, while Arjun took her hand and pulled her towards the centre and Krishna continued to sing.

Pretty Lady Pretty Lady Pretty Lady Raebareli Mein Tu Beech Bazaari Jab Husn Dikhane Jayegi Hosh Udane Wali Shokh Nazar Ke Jo Pench Ladane Jayegi

She glared at both of them, and was about to go away from them, but they didn't let her go. People started to see them as an ideal couple, as Vaishnavi and Arjun, both are unparalleled in music and dancing.

Arey Pehan Ke Itna Zevar Gehna Tez Hawa Se Bach Ke Rehna Gir Jaaye Toh Phir Na Kehna Jhumka Gira Re

Arjun showed her the earring from his pocket, which she tried to take but he didn't give in.

Haaye Jhumka Oye Jhumka Haaye Jhumka Jhumka

People around her started to sing the lines in chorus, as they understood this was the jhumka Suthanu was talking about. She gave up and said with an attitude.

What Jhumka?

Everyone around her started to dance around her and Arjun. She still didn't give up, moved away from him and said the same line with attitude.

What Jhumka? Aaye Haaye Haaye What Jhumka?

Arjun just smirked at her attitude and rotated her, only for her to land on his arms. Meanwhile, Krishna continued to sing.

Pretty Lady Pretty Lady Pretty Lady Can't Take My Eyes Off You Pretty Lady Pretty Lady Pretty Lady

Vaishnavi got out of his hold and went to the center, with all the ladies beside her, while all the men went beside Arjun and Krishna. She shook her head unbelievably and started singing.

Shakal Se Jitna Nek Hai Tu Kasam Se Utna Fake Hai Tu Pad Gaya Kyun Gale Dumchhalle Ki Tarah Haaye Chipak Ke Sellotape Jaisa Laga Hua Hai Chep Jaisa Na Kisi Kaam Ka Nithalle Ki Tarah

All the kids joined her as well, while she sang giving Arjun attitude. Satyabhama joined her as well, along with Jambavati, to sing for their husband.

Bas Dhoondh Raha Hai Mauka Khul Ke Marega Chauka By Chance Kisi Ladki Ka Jahan Jhumka Gira Re

Again, people started to dance around them, and this time, she went to him by herself and sang out the line, much to his surprise.

What Jhumka? What Jhumka? What Jhumka? Aaye Haaye Haaye Aaye Haaye Haaye

She just smirked at his reaction and went away, while composing himself, he again started singing. Meanwhile, Draupadi asked her, "Ishwari, what is what?", to which she replied, "what is what!". Draupadi clearly didn't understand and asked, "What?", to which Vaishnavi replied dancing, "Exactly!". She was about to ask more, but Jambavati pulled her into the center of the stage.

Arey Pehan Ke Itna Zevar Gehna Tez Hawa Se Bach Ke Rehna Gir Jaaye Toh Phir Na Kehna Jhumka Gira Re

He showed her the second jhumka as well, which was given to him by Suthanu. He thumbs upped to her, while Vaishnavi just glared at her, but immediately started laughing and dancing along with everyone.

Jhumka Gira Jhumka Gira Jhumka Jhumka Jhumka Jhumka Gira Gira Gira Gira Gira Gira Re Reee Jhumka What Jhumka?

Vaishnavi now completely into the song, started dancing her heart out along with others. While everyone was dancing, Arjun was just looking at how beautiful and happy his wife was looking, and the world seemed to stop for him, and he couldn't see anybody else other than her. Looking at her dancing without caring for anybody else, he fell for her yet again. Krishna came and patted his back, and pulled him in the floor.

Jhumka Gira Re Bareli Ke Bazaar Mein Jhumka Gira Re Bareli Ke Bazaar Mein Jhumka Gira Jhumka Gira Jhumka Gira Aaye Haaye Haaye Jhumka Gira Re Bareli Ke Bazaar Mein Jhumka Gira Re

He sang this while just looking at her and circling her, and she slowly stopped dancing as she noticed him. Both were lost in each other's eyes, while everyone around them were dancing their hearts out. She smiled at him, pulled him to the center and started dancing again, which he reciprocated as well.

'Am I falling for him again?'
