27 Caring Sister-In-Law (1/2)
It has been 2 days since marriage and things are already settling down. Guests and other people have already departed. Even Kripa who was supposed to stay, have already left due to some urgent call from home but he has promised Akash to visit sometime soon in Pune.
It is 5th July today. On the breakfast table, the whole family is sitting. The family of Varsha is informed that the boy's family will depart today and they are going to come in the afternoon to meet. Varsha is informed of this and she is anticipating to meet with them again before she goes to Pune.
Grandpa looked toward his granddaughter-in-law and asked ”Dear! How do you want to go to Pune? Train or Plane?”
Grandpa wanted to let Varsha feel one with family, so he asked for her opinion. Akash showed the wronged expression and said: ”You did not ask us when we came from Pune.”
Grandma looked at her grandson and said smiling ”We wanted you to experience new things.”
”Old man and woman both have excuses for everything. We ate unhygienic food, I was almost strangled by the crowd and harassed by transgenders. I better not experience these things my whole life.” Akash muttered.
Grandpa and grandma ignored the muttering of Akash but Varsha who is sitting beside him could not help but giggle. Akash looked at her daringly and she laughed harder which also made his sister Ira laugh.
After this everyone kept eating breakfast. Grandpa continued reading the newspaper while eating. Grandma kept reprimanding old man for not concentrating on food while eating.
Varsha understood that Akash does not wish to go by train, so she already decided to ask to go by Plane but she needs a reason to say that. She nudged Ira on her side and whispered in her ears ”Ask me to go by plane.”
Ira looked at her sister-in-law questioningly and then it dawned at her while seeing the shy expression of Varsha. She really likes this caring sister-in-law of hers.
Ira coughed and to get everyone's attention and then asked loudly to her sister-in-law ”Sister-in-law! You love me the most in our family, right?”
This thing caught the attention of everyone at the table. The question of Ira made Varsha feel embarrassed again. Her this new sister is really creative with her ways. She looked shyly toward Akash and seeing his annoyed expression and tearing the bread like murdering someone made her almost laugh. Her shyness went away and she laughed and turned to Ira and said: ”Of course.”
Ira then held the arm of her sister-in-law and chirped happily ”Then please tell Grandpa that we will go by plane. Okay? I have also not traveled by plane before and this is a good chance.”
