Our journey from engagement to marriage by Shipra Saini (thriller book recommendations TXT) 📖

"Sorry brother.." Siddharth said while replacing Anshul's ballast with his. I pressed my lips together to suppress my laugh because the look on Anshul's face was worth to watch.

Siddharth flipped dice again and it was six so he flipped the dice again and this time it's my turn to get panic because my ballast which was one step away to reach it's home and wants six number to win is in danger now if Siddharth get five more number.

Siddharth flipped the dice again and I wanted to cry because Siddharth get five number. Siddharth looked at me sympathetically.

"Come on jiju cut your wife's ballast." Anshul said while rubbing his both hands together in excitement.

"Siddharth..Please don't." I said looked at him. I am urge on cry. Because at once I wanted to win this game. If I can't win at least come second because with Anshul he never let me win the game.

"I'll move another ballast. I don't want to cut her ballast." My lips curled into a smile when Siddharth said looking at me.

"No jiju..It's a cheating..You cut mine..now you have to cut her also." Anshul said.

"Ha bhayi it won't a fare game then." Keerti also insist Siddharth and they both behind Siddharth to cut my ballast until he didn't agree.

"Okey..okey..fine..I will cut her ballast. Sorry Preeti I can't do anything." Siddharth said while cutting my ballast and replaced it with his.

Keerti and Anshul shout in happiness and high five because they got a chance to win the game.

Game continue and at the end Siddharth win the game, Anshul was second, keerti was third one and as usual I was the last.

"I beat you Keerti." Anshul said while slap keerti's back like a boy.

"Aawee...It hurts." Keerti said while rubbing her back but then she hit him back with a much force that Anshul straddled from his chair and glared at her.

"Anshul..." I said in a warning when Anshul hit her again.

"Keerti.." This time Siddharth gave warning keerti but all went in vain then both started doing fight with eachother and keep slapping each other's arm. I and Siddharth looked at each other and hold their hands to stop them hitting each other.

"Anshul behave." I said while glaring at him while he was busy dodging keerti's attack and give her a teasing smile.

"Keerti stop doing that." Siddharth said while stopping keerti and pulled her chair closed to him and far from Anshul.

After sometime they both stop fighting and started talking like nothing happened between them.

I and Siddharth looked at both of them and shake our heads.

"Neeta ji every year, at Diwali we went to our village. We celebrate Diwali in our village with Ramesh brothers. It's kind of a get together of our family Preeti's tayi g (paternal brother's wife) called me today. Preeti's have two uncle from her paternal side. They were not make it at her engagement. So they all wanted to meet you and Siddharth ji. So, if are you okey then we can go to village tomorrow?" Mummy asked to Neeta maa.

"Isha ji I think this is the great idea. We shall go. That's how keerti and Sid will know about Indian agriculture life and we can meet all your family members." Akhil dad said.

"Okey we will leave tomorrow at 9 a.m for our village. It will hardly take half an hour to reach there and this morning Anit ji also called me that they will celebrate Diwali with us. So I called them and they directly reached to village. " Papa said and everyone starting playing again.

Siddharth, Anshul and Keerti started playing carom but this time I won't play with them because I know Anshul will beat me in this also.

"Mummy, what should I make for dinner?" I'm getting bore so it's better I start make dinner rather then sitting here and watching everyone playing. Well I don't have any problem as long as I can watch love of my life but it's getting late and I should start doing preparations for dinner.

"Mummy I want rajma curry and rice for dinner." Anshul said while hitting the striker.

"No, mummy please," I said while pleading to her.

"Sis, I hadn't eaten rajma curry since I came home. so you better make it." Anshul said. Now everyone is looking at me.

" Bhabhi I also wanted rajma curry for dinner." Keerti said excitedly.

"What happen, why Preeti don't want to make rajma curry." Neeta maa asked to mummy.

"She hates it. She can live hungry whole day but never eat rajma curry and Anshul love rajma curry like her girlfriend." Mummy said and everyone start laughing. My cheeks turn red in embarrassment and I looked down.

"Sid also hates rajma curry. They are perfect for each other, like sole mates." Akhil dad said. I looked at Siddharth and he is also looking at me lovingly. I blushed under his gaze and turn my head to hide my red cheeks.

"Yeah.. but he can eat if chef is great." Neeta maa said.

"Looks like you are exception Preeti beta, cause everyone loves rajma curry." Akhil dad said.

"Indeed she is..." Siddharth whispered under his breath but I heard it. Not letting me more center of the attention I leave from there.

The dinner is ready. Everyone is sitting on the dinning table. I was sitting beside Siddharth because everyone already taken their sits, so I don't have any choice. It's not like I didn't like or I have a problem to sit beside Siddharth. It's just that keerti didn't leave a chance to tease us to death when we are together.

"Preeti you make best rajma Curry in this world. I always wonder how you can cook rajma curry superbly when you hate it." Anshul said while shoving a spoonful rajma curry in his mouth.

"What are you going to eat when you don't like rajma curry." Siddharth whispered. I look at everyone and everyone is busy in their own talk.

"I made a potato curry for both of us." I said while serving him.

"Actually I want some rajma curry." He said while picking up rajma curry bowl from table. He served himself then take a spoonful of rajma curry and put in his mouth. I look at him curiously that he like it or not.
