Pinning Preet against the pillar, Veer looks at her with a glare. She also glared back with a cute angry face.
"You will not touch any work from now on, understand?" she puffs her cheek showing her resistance.
"Preet!! " He called her sternly, making her sigh loudly.
"You can't do that. I love doing things for our family," she softly said.
"Your thought is enough that you care for them. And we have servants in our house for a reason. I can't see my wife getting insulted in front of everyone just because she cares too much about others," He told her looking at her face.
"I will just hel-" she tried to make him understand.
"I am not hearing anything. Still, if you want to go against then go ahead I won't stop you. But think from my point of view. I can't go and insult Choti Ma back because she and Chote Papa have done so much for me. They raise me after my parents. Also, I can't tolerate her hurting you.
So for the sake of my peace, just hear me this time and try to stay away from her. She is not bad but her behavior with you is something I appreciate. Think of it as my request," Preet look at his face and cup his face.
"Don't say like this, Veer. I will do whatever you say," she said and smile at him.
"Just don't be sad," She whispered hugging him gently.
She looks at his face and perks his lips while still wrapping her arms around his torso.
"You don't look good while requesting," he raised his eyebrows at her with a small smile.
"As if you will listen and follow my order," he said her making her giggle.
"True,.." she said and giggled.
He looks at his watch and then looks at her smiling face.
"I should leave for the office now," he whispered and kissed her forehead
She sigh softly feeling his lips on her forehead and nodded.
"When are you leaving for work?"
"I will go late today," he nodded.
Preet remove her arms around him. He smiles and bid bye before walking toward his car. She walks him to his car and opens the backseat door for him.
He looks at her in amusement while she smiles cheekily and gestures him to go inside the car with her eyes. He chuckle at her and placed a long kiss on her cheek. She giggles happily.
"Take care," he said from inside the car. She closes the door and bends toward him through the window.
"You too. I will wait for you," she softly said with a loving smile on her face.
He gives her his charming smile before his car drives off and soon disappears from her sight.
Preet was going toward her room when suddenly Anaya came in front of her, coming out of her room with her shoulder bag.
Preet looked at her and was about to walk past her. Anaya smirks looking at Preet's blank face.
"Someone is looking happy nowadays. Good progress I must say, dear Bhabhi. Hope now you will stop meddling in my life," At last her voice turned harsh.
Preet ignore her shitty words and walked ahead but she heard her mocking chuckle and words,
"God knows what sweet lies she fed Bhai. Miss innocent drama, " Anaya scoffs with a chuckle after saying loudly, so Preet can hear her before.
Preet, so, wanted to give a tight slap on her face to stop her from behaving like the spoiled brat that she is.
It's not like Preet hate her or something.
No, she cared for her as Veer does. Also, she is not that bad except with her.
She loves and respects Veer, she knows that.
It's just that Preet is special to her. And her only target in the whole family.
She just stops her from spoiling her life and interferes a few times seeing her careless behavior.
But she didn't like her interfering and stopping her from destroying her life and career.
Hence, she mocked and said hurtful words to Preet.
Preet knows she shouldn't interfere too much but the care she develops for her unknowingly forces her to make her understand what is right and wrong. She is a little mature and childish and carefree but we have to make her understand. The world is filled with monsters with facades.
She felt hurt at her rude behavior toward her and her mocking comments. But still, she can't stop caring for her. She is as precious as Aarav and Avni are to her.
But her behavior is really annoying.
Entering her room, Preet changes into a white long Chikankari kurta and matching flared palazzo. Coiling the multicolored scarf, she walks in front of the mirror while wearing her oxidized Chandbalis.
She smiles feeling beautiful and sticks a small red bindi in between her eyebrows. She parted her hair in the middle and clipped her front hair strands on the back. Then fill her hairline with sindoor. And Applied nude pink lipstick, she looked satisfied with her look and gave herself a flying kiss.
"Beautiful…" She compliments her.
It's not everyday she felt like getting dressed up. But today she wanted to dress and get ready well to lift her mood after the morning chaos.
After that, she went to her work. But meet Avni before leaving. She can't leave her when she needs her most. She promised to not do any work but she never said that she won't meet and look after her.
Urmila was sitting alone in the living hall with Sumitra when Preet was leaving.
Urmila's eyes filled with hatred looking at her. Ignoring her, Preet starts going outside but Urmila stops her.
Preet turned to her and saw her coming toward her.
"See Preet, you are not my enemy. But whatever you did today is unforgettable for me. Why are you and Veer after my happiness? Why can't you see my children happy in their life?" Urmila said in pure hatred for her.
"Urmila, why are you saying all this to her when she doesn't even care about anything? She won't be getting all ready and smiling like this if she felt even a little guilt for her doing," Sumitra said but suddenly she looked away when Preet glared at her.
"Think whatever you want, Choti Ma. I won't waste my time and your time in clarifying. And beg you to trust me. And about me and Veer snatching your happiness then let me tell you one thing clearly,
you are sitting and enjoying all this luxury and then babbling whatever comes in your mouth about my husband, then remember that this Rajvansh empire is touching the sky of success just because of my husband's hard work and dedication toward his Rajvansh and this family.
I agree Aarav and Chote Papa also work hard but Veer gave his everything to this family even when they treat him like a stranger. And your children's happiness?" Preet looks at her and chuckle sadly
"Is Veer not your child? You bought him up, right?" Urmila turns mute and looks away from the intense gaze of Preet.
"You know Choti Ma, if you ask him, just once, to give his everything to Aarav, he will do that in a breath without thinking for a second. He considered Aarav like his child and always kept his happiness before him," Preet told as her voice turned weak and tears formed in her eyes.
This family is too cruel to her Veer. The woman whom he considered a mother figure hated him so much that she couldn't see him happy. Her Veer doesn't deserve these selfish people.
Not wanting to say something which destroyed everything, Preet walked out of the house but not before giving a hard look to Sumitra.
"I am telling you Urmila this girl will destroy everything whatever we want," Sumitra said with clenched teeth.
Urmila didn't say anything and silently sat on the sofa holding her head. Tears appear in her eyes.
"Why are you crying? God Urmi, do you really believe her words? She manipulated you with her fake words. Don't forget she tried to harm Avni's unborn baby. She can do anything for her satisfaction. She is very evil. Don't think about her words,
just think about you and your children and their future," Urmila looked at her and hesitantly nodded.
"Soon we will get rid of Preet and Veer, from this family and your life forever," Sumitra evilly said, hugging sad Urmila.
The same evening, Damini had to leave for her hometown in a hurry as her brother was really sick. So she left after informing Urmila about her visit. And told her to look after Avni in her absence.
But someone is really happy about this. She chuckles internally as her devil mind smirks.
Preet came late that night. She went directly to the room. She opens the door with a big smile but frowns, finding the room empty. She saw Veer's car in the garage then where he is. Not finding him in the room and study, she went downstairs. She saw a helper passing through the living hall.
"Malti Didi!" she called her.
"Ji?"
"Apne Veer ko dekha," she asked.
"Bhaiya is in the kitchen," Preet was confused but she nodded at her and walked inside the kitchen.
As her eyes fell on him, her steps slowed down then she stopped in her tracks. She blinked her eyes not believing the scene in front of her.
Her sweet and cute husband, who once was a cold monster, is cooking. And looking so hot in an apron. She doesn't know about food but he is looking so delicious and ravishing. Maybe she would like to have him for today's dinner.
She quickly shook her head not wanting to torture herself.
But, the menu seems mouthwatering. His soft lips, his sharp pointed jaws, his adam apple against her tongue, his stone-hard chest muscle than his sexy hard abs against her soft palm. So, tasty.
She felt a shiver on her back just thinking about him. God knows what will happen when they will…ahhhaaeiiii!!
Don't think, shameless girl. Don't think.
"Preet? When did you come?" she snaps from her crazy thoughts and looks at him. Giving him a nervous smile, she went near him and stood beside him.
"Just now. What are you doing?" she asked and then peek at the cookware on the stove to see inside.
"Cooking. There was nothing left for us so I decided to cook for us," she frowned her eyebrows in confusion.
"No food left. It never happened before. Servants know how much food is cooked daily," she told him but he just shrugged off.
She also let it slide thinking maybe she wasn't here to guide them about the amount.
