Chp 14- The first morning of forever
Ignore the mistakes ????
The morning after the wedding is calm and quiet.
The sun rises slowly over the green fields, and a soft golden light spreads through the village.
The air smells of flowers and sweets. The decorations from last night still hang on the walls and trees, moving gently with the breeze.
Birds sing on the rooftops, and the sound of cows and roosters fills the air.
The streets are almost empty, only a few people can be seen cleaning or collecting water.
It was 5 in the morning when koo woke up, instead of waking up on the soft bed she found herself on someone's hard chest, the person's face was covered in her hair but the man didn't mind it, he was sleeping as if he hadn't slept for a decade.
Koo slowly rose her head up, her palm on her husband's chest, she looked at her husband's face, her husband, kim taehyung, a man twice her age, her cheeks got flushed in red, she looked at where her hand was placed at his bare chest, she tried to get up but then she noticed his hand on her waist, holding her tightly against him.
She looked at his face again, that peaceful handsome face.
It was 4 in the morning so she didn't want him to wake up so she gently tried to free herself from his grip.
Finally she was successful as she got up, her bangles and anklets chummed as she walked towards her luggage to take her clothes from it. After taking her saree
After wearing her saree kook stood in front of the mirror and wore her new set of bangles matching with the saree, she applied vermillion on her hairline, and wore matching jhumka in her ear.
Koo-the definition of goddess, was ready, for the first day in her in laws house, she turned around and looked at her husband who was still sleeping hugging a pillow, she couldn't believe that this man is thirty years old, she chuckled at herself as she walked towards the closet to remove her husband's clothes, matching it with her saree colour and kept it on the empty space on the bed, she picked up the belt from the closet and kept it there along with his watch and rings, from today her duty started and she had only one goal now to win everyone's heart in this house, and make her space in this house.
It was now almost 6 in the morning, jihyo and Eunchae knocked on their door, koo who was making her saree more presentable opened the door and bent down to touch their feet, jihyo and Eunchae gave her the blessings
"Good morning bahu, is taehyung awake?"
Koo shook his head looking down.
"That boy is still sleeping!!, let him be, bahu we came here to take you down for your muh dikhayi and pehli rasoi"
Koo nodded
"You look beautiful in this saree bhabhi"
Yoona who popped out of nowhere said energetically making kook shy
"T.. thankyou"
"Come bahu, we have to go down, or your grandmother in-law will get angry"
Koo nodded coming out of the room and closing the door behind her. Yoona stood beside her and said happily
"I'll escort bhabhi to the living room"
Jihyo nodded her head but stopped them
"Wait- bahu take the dupatta over your face there are still some relatives in the house they'll talk"
Koo nodded as yoona helped her to take the saree pallu over her face, they all walked down.
Dadi was sitting in the living room sofa along with some other relatives who gawked at koo watching her coming down, they wished to see her face but soon they will in the muh dikhai rasam.
Koo came and touched dadi's feet, and she blessed her with a straight face and said with a sharp tongue.
"Well, at least God did one good thing, he gave us a well-mannered and cultured daughter-in-law who knows how to dress decently and hide her face with the pallu. Otherwise daughters-in-law these days have all become too modern." dadi says sarcastically looking towards Jimin.
Hearing that, Jimin lowers her head in embarrassment.
It’s not like she’s modern,before her marriage to Yoongi, she simply used to wear a plain top and jeans to college, nothing too revealing.
But one day, by mistake, a photo of her wearing jeans and a T-shirt ended up in dadi’s hands.
Since then, dadi hasn’t missed a single chance to taunt her.
Koo who was looking down not understanding any of her words was fidgeting with the end of her pallu biting her lips behind the pallu
Dadi looked at Jungkook with her keenly eyes and said
"Today is your muh dikhayi and first rasoi girl, you have to make everything on your own, your mother-in-law will tell you what you have to make, be careful nothing goes wrong" kook nodded immediately at her words
"Come here sit down, more guests will come from the neighbours to look at your face" dadi said in a cold tone
Koo obediently sat on the couch and as the time passed soon one by one guest came and looked under her pallu to see her face and smiled looking at her beautiful face, they handed shagun to koo and sat back on their seat, soon murmurs starts between the guest, all were praising and some were jealous because the Kim's always gets everything good.
"She's damn beautiful,If I had known about her earlier, I would have made her my daughter-in-law."
A woman said to another in her ear, making her nod
"Same, these Kim always gets the better of everything, God has given them more than enough, whether it's money, a good house, or a beautiful daughter-in-law. They lack nothing. And look at my bahu, how ugly she looks."
The woman says this while looking at her daughter-in-law, who drops her eyes in shame.
"Anyway, stop being so greedy. Your bahu has given you a child, whereas my bahu,she still hasn't become a mother, maybe she’s barren, I suppose."
The woman says to her own daughter-in-law, whose eyes fill with tears.
"Maa, please don’t say that. I’m trying to convince him but-"
"Yes, keep trying. Listen to me carefully, if I don't get good news by this month, I will arrange my son’s marriage again somewhere else. Then you’ll be left here as the first wife, and my son won’t even look at you. If he gets another wife"
The young woman simply covers her face with her pallu and remains silent; she cannot say anything to her mother-in-law. Her hands are tied by the bonds of relationship.
Dadi ignored their murmuring as she said to jihyo
"Jihyo, go take her inside the kitchen, and listen girl you have only 1 and half hour to cook, be fast"
Kook nodded her hands shaking nervously.
"Come bahu"
Listening to jihyo, koo immediately followed her and yoona and jimin also tagged along behind them.
Once they reached inside the kitchen, jihyo pulled the pallu from koo's face.
"Your face is all sweaty bahu, are you nervous?"
Koo nodded
"Don't worry, we'll be just outside, if you want anything than just call any one of us okay and yoona stay here and look after your bhabhi, and tell her where all the things are kept"
Yoona nodded happily, very excited to spend some time with her bhabhi.
Soon yoona, jimin and eunchae left the kitchen, jihyo and eunchae joined dadi and other relatives sitting in the living but jimin walked towards her room.
_______________
Inside the kitchen
Kook ties her pallu around her waist, and Yoona comes to stand beside Jungkook with a smile. Koo looks at Yoona and asks,
"What does your brother like?"
"You mean my elder brother, your husband?"
Yoona teases and Koo looks down shyly, picking up the tea kettle.
"Come on, bhabhi, don’t be so shy in front of me. You can talk to me about anything,think of me as your sister."
Koo looks at her and smiles a little.
"But you look older than me."
"I am older by age, but not in position. Since you’re my elder brother’s wife, that makes you older than me in relation."
Koo nods slowly.
"Then what should I call you?"
"Of course, just call me by my name, bhabhi."
"But you’re older than me, how can I--"
"As I said bhabhi, even if I’m older in age, in relationship I’m younger. And if you call me didi in front of everyone, dadi will kill both of us."
"Is dadi that strict?"
"Very. In this house, dadi only listens to one person."
"And who’s that?" Koo asks.
"Your husband."
____________________________
It's been 1 hour and 15 minutes, koo is still in the kitchen, breakfast is almost done, she made poha, upma,aloo paratha and sabudana khichdi, and in sweet she made sheera, and some tea
Kook's all energy was drained out, but yet she was shining like a bright star in that pink saree.
Jihyo walks into the kitchen, and as soon as she enters, she’s greeted by the delicious aroma of breakfast. She looks around and then asks Koo,
"Where did Yoona go?"
"She said she needed to use the washroom. It’s been a while, but she hasn’t come back yet."
"That girl is crazy, she must be up to something again. Anyway, forget her the breakfast smells amazing, bahu.What have you made?"
Koo shyly replies
"I made poha, upma, aloo paratha, and sabudana khichdi, maa… and for dessert, I made sheera and tea too"
"Oh wow! My bahu is such a good cook! It smells so good too. I’ll call Jimin; she’ll help you take everything outside."
"No, maa, I’ll do it myself."
"Oh come on, how will you carry all this alone? And besides, your husband is sitting outside at the dining table,he won’t like it."
Koo blushes and looks down when her mother-in-law mentions “your husband.” She speaks softly,
"Alright, maa… as you say."
Jihyo smiles at her shy daughter-in-law.
"I’ll call her right now
“Ok maa,” Koo replies gently.
Jihyo walked out of the kitchen and soon jimin walked inside with a dull face but yet she placed a fake smile on her face looking at koo
Koo frowned looking at her mixed expression and asked
"Is everything okay?"
Jimin smiled and nodded
"Yes yes bhabhi, everything is alright, nothing much to worry about, I came here to help you, come let's take all the dishes out"
Koo nodded as she adjusted her saree and hiar properly and held the bowl of upma in her hand and jimin held the bowl of poha in her hand, they both walked out of the room towards the big dining area
Taehyung who was blanking gazing at the empty plate in front of him, suddenly froze when he heard the chumming of those anklets, the noise of those anklets indicating him that she's near, he didn't dare to gaze up but his heart wanted to see her, to look how she's looking in her attire and he was hundred and ten percent sure she must be looking gorgeous like the goddess herself.
Tae ignored everyone's gaze on him and turned his face to look at his wife who was coming towards the dining table shyly watching her steps,looking so so so beautiful in that pink saree, he then looked at his kurta which he was wearing it was of the same colour of kook's saree, his lips twitch for a smile but he immediately ordered his mind to not to make him smile, cuz he's kim taehyung, the cold, stern, strict hot headed man of the house, the elder one among all the siblings, and he just can't smile infront of bunch of people sitting infront of him gawking at him.
Koo shyly came and kept the upma bowl carefully on the table, she avoided looking at her husband who was just sitting there on his head chair like a freezing statue.
"Girl, serve everyone"
Dadi said in her strict tone, there were almost more than twenty people sitting on the dining table including the relatives, if she's serve everyone on by one then when will she eat. She gulped but she didn't question back and nodded picking up the bowl
"First serve your husband"
Dadi said in her stern voice again watching koo's every step keenly.
Koo with slightly shaking hand served tae and then moved towards jhope who was already gawking at the food like it was the paradise food made in heaven.
"Stop"
That was the only word that came out of tae's mouth when koo picked up the bowl to serve jhope, hobi too stopped dreaming about the food and looked at his elder brother confusingly.koo also gathering all her courage looks at her husband
"You won't serve everyone, there are workers for that" tae said looking into koo's eyes
"Taehyung, don't make a chaos now, there are guest over here"
Tae moved his gaze to dadi after checking out his wife properly
"I'm not causing chaos dadi, i married her, she's my wife not a worker here to serve everyone "
Dadi's nostrils swelled in anger, she banged her hand on the table lightly
"She's the elder bahu, it's her duty to look after everyone "
Koo flinched by the sudden loud noise and the relatives were already enjoying this soap opera too much
"Yes, she's the elder bahu, but it's not her duty to look after everyone, they're not children to be spoon fed and Yes if one more word about this topic comes up i won't let anyone eat any breakfast"
Koo looked at her husband with wide eyes, suddenly tae held kook's hand and made her sit on the chair beside him
"Sir here and eat, the worker will serve"
Tae said in his stern tone making kook nod immediately
Soon the workers served everyone and the table was silent again because as per the rule made by kim taehyung himself, no one should talk when they're eating, and even the relatives knows about this rule, why not, the rule was itself made by the great kim of this house, kim taehyung.
Dadi who was pretending to be calm clutched the spoon in her hand tightly, her mind was getting venomous for the new bahu entered inside their house last night.
"This girl.....This girl who just came into our house yesterday has already started creating cracks in our family. Today was the limit,because of her, Taehyung dismissed my words in front of everyone, in front of all our relatives. What respect do I have left now? Everyone will laugh at me.
I knew from the beginning that this girl wasn’t right for Tae, but no, God knows what Jihyo and Taehyung saw in her. Oh God, I don’t know what more this girl will make me see before I die. I’ll have to bring her under my control, no matter what."
Everyone we're in their own world, minjun and sana were staring at kook angrily because according to them also it was all kook's fault, because of her the cracks had been formed in this family.
And talking about Tzuyu and woojin, well tzuyu was inside her room saying she's not hungry and woojin was secretly gazing at kook's face,it's not the first time he's looking at her, he remembered back on that day when he first saw kook's picture in tae's room.
The day he sneaked in tae's room to take something, he found kook's picture in tae's drawer and he sweared that he haven't seen a beautiful woman like her in his entire twenty-nine years of life, for the second time he saw her yesterday, in the wedding,but her face was hidden with the pallu so that day also he couldn't see her face, but today.
......today was the first time in his life that he's seeing her face in real life face to face, and as the time passes he found himself diving more and more into her beauty, the way she eats gracefully avoiding everyone's eyes, they way she pouts when she chews, everything about her was captivating to woojin, and he realised that time that he's becoming madly obsessive towards his own elder brother's wife, and he was not ashamed of it.
