Author's Pov,

"ARYA WHY ARE YOU HIDING THERE COME AND SIT BESIDE KRUNAL," She heard Charlotte's (Ved's wife's) voice and felt like she couldn't get into a more embarrassing situation than this.

Her eyes lowered in shame and she carefully walked out, holding her head low and keeping her one hand securely on her swollen stomach.

She was able to feel his penetrating hazel eyes with all the other members of their family but didn't dare to lift her eyes.

"Come and Take a seat," She heard her mother-in-law Avantika's voice and her heart thump loudly.

She gulped the lump trying to wet her parched throat and bit her lips in anxiety before lifting her eyes to look at the empty chair beside him.

She forwarded her shaky legs but her heart thumped loudly when he got up and took a slow step in her direction making her heartbeat skip in anxiety.

As he stepped closer to her, a faint trace of cedarwood and leather lingered in the air, slowly invading her nostrils.

His smell itself screamed an authority making her tremble under his gaze.

"Shundor dekha CM Sahiba."

(Looking beautiful CM Sahiba)

Her eyes snapped towards his hazel ones and a serene feeling surged through her heart.

His lips lifted upward and he clasped her cold hand in his warm one before slowly guiding her towards the chair.

His family stared at him in awe as he pulled the chair for his wife and gently made her sit before sitting on his seat.

His grandparents were feeling awkward, but  his stepmother was emotionless while his great-grandmother didn't like it.

His sisters were smiling like fools while his cousin's brothers (Ved's sons) and stepbrother were ready to cheer the couple.

"Eat," Reshma Raichand ordered breaking the fairy tale and everyone's faces fell.

Krunal smiled looking at his great-grandmother and silently started to eat his food.

However, Arya was paralyzed from the earlier treatment she got from her husband, her heart was still beating wildly, and her baby was worsening her situation doing a Zumba dance in her stomach sensing his father's presence near him.

"Arya khana khaiye Apna," She heard Amisha's voice and blinked her eyes awkwardly when all of the members stared at her, Her cheeks turned crimson and she quickly invested herself in her plate.

(Arya eat your food)

Her eyes glistened seeing A traditional Bengali thali and she almost forgot her husband, of course, her favourite things were served on her plate.

Fish curry, rice, dal, various vegetables, (such as aloo posto or mixed vegetable curry), chutney, and rasgulla, even sondesh too.

Her tongue watered and her stomach growled making Krunal halt his movement.

His lips curled up and he turned towards her to see her looking at him with embarrassment.

She quickly bowed her head not wanting to meet his eyes and dug her fork into the rasgulla before lifting it and stuffing it in her mouth.

Why baby? She cried in her heart wanting nothing but to bathe in holy water to wash out the first impression she made in front of her husband.

She wondered how she would meet his eyes, after this embarrassing situation.

She stuffed those Rassgullas inside her mouth and ate them all, her bowl went all empty.

She turned her attention towards Sondesh and ate it too.

Her stomach and her baby were not satisfied, she wanted more sweets.

She sighed knowing that she couldn't demand more sweets, knowing her great-grandmother-in-law would get angry with her and would speech that she shouldn't eat too much sweets which would worsen her health later.

But these pregnancy hormones didn't let her leave peacefully, her eyes went towards the bowl which was filled with Rasgullas and her baby moved in her belly like signing her to eat them.

'Ahhh my poor baby we can't eat now.' she told her baby and felt disappointed in herself.

"Arya."

Her heartbeat fastened upon hearing his deep voice and she snapped out of her thoughts.

Her name on his tongue sounded so musical and soothing to her ears. How badly she wanted to hear it again and again.

Her eyes widened when he kept his uneaten sweet-filled Bowl on her plate and calmly gestured for her to eat.

This man never fails to make her fall harder for him, how could he? She just can't handle his gentleness.

His gesture wasn't new for her, it was his nature of putting her front before him, getting a husband like him was a blessing to her, but sometimes she was scared, what if this beautiful dream broke?

She will die without Krunal Raichand in her life.

"How sweet!!! I saw a first-ever CM this hopelessly romantic."

Charlotte complimented snapping Arya out of her thoughts and making all elders awkward.

Krunal was calm as always with no emotion but Arya's situation worsened seeing those teasing gazes of her sisters-in-laws and brother-in-laws.

Her eyes travelled towards her great-grandmother-in-law and her blush vanished noticing her displeasure.

"Khaiye."

(Eat)

Krunal ordered her and without any second thought she began to eat, she never disobeyed her husband nor she would ever do.

"Aaram se."

(Take it easy)

She heard his concerned voice and her heart fluttered, why this man is so caring? How lucky she is to get him.

She just kept her head down and ate her food in silence not wanting to meet anyone's gazes.

'Papa bohat pyare hai' she mind gossiped with her baby and small smile tucked on her lips.

Slowly everyone finished their dinner except her who was eating at the speed of ants.

Elders moved towards the garden area for night talks about finished elections and politics.

Younger's search for their interest, and They decided to play a talking game in the TV room.

Arya was still eating but her husband who finished his dinner ten minutes ago was making her more awkward by sitting beside her and staring at her face.

"I am here krunal you can go," Amisha said to her younger brother seeing Arya's sweaty figure.

"I am fine," he replied in a calm tone and again turned towards his wife.

Amisha got up and went from there not wanting to become a third-wheel in husband and wife.

Arya hastily finished her food and wiped her mouth.

"Do you need anything?"

She shook her head and nervously fidgeted with her fingers.

She didn't know why she was getting this nervous.

He is your husband Arya.

She chanted in her mind but nothing worked.

Her body stiffened when his cold finger touched her swollen belly and his words reached her ear.

"Aap behad khubsurat lag rahi hai, with this swollen belly!"

She felt blood rushing to her cheeks and her heart thumping loudly when his cold fingers traced a soothing circle on her baby bump.

"Which month is it?"

Her heart dropped, he didn't know. She washed out the sad feeling knowing how busy he was in the election.

She knew her husband was not an ordinary man, he had so many things to do and would have in future too, She couldn't behave like those common wives complaining about their husbands for forgetting these necessary things.

"It's the sixth month."

Krunal's lips pulled up in a smile and he said moving her saree's pallu aside and taking a good view of her growing baby bump.

"Beautiful!!!!"

A blush adorned her cheeks, feeling his fingers moving on her baby bump.

"I heard Pregnant women get fat," he asked still touching her baby bump and

enjoying the movement of the little one in her womb.

She nodded her head and answered with a smile, "Yeah!"

Krunal lifted his eyes and she quickly lowered hers not having enough courage to meet his stares.

"Lekin Aap aur khubsurat ho gayi hai."

(But you became more beautiful)

Arya was sure this man would kill her with his sweetness and compliments.

"Thank you," she muttered blushing hard.

Krunal smiled and his eyes travelled towards her face.

Her almond eyes were filled with so much love and happiness, while her dusky complexion glowed with the richness of the earth itself.

Her smile, adorned with dimples, carried the warmth of a thousand suns, captivating his eyes with each curve.

A perfect example of Bengali Beauty.

This young girl was carrying his blood in her womb, the thought was such pleasing.

His eyes fell on her cheek but not a single emotion flickered his eyes, his lips were still pulled up in a beautiful smile.

He cupped her cheek making her smile fall from her lips, her heart thudded loudly remembering the incident in the morning.

If he asked her anything about that slapping mark, she would tell him, she trusted her husband more than herself and hiding something from him was never her cup of tea.

"I Have Some Work Don't Wait For Me. Sleep on time."

Her eyes turned towards him, didn't he see it, she felt that he noticed it, maybe he didn't.

She quietly nodded her head and felt him bending towards her.

He placed his lips on her forehead and whispered, "GOOD NIGHT."

He got up and walked away.

Her longing eyes filled with grief just stared at his retreating figure.

She wanted to stop him and ask him to spend his time with her but didn't.

"Such a Caring Man My brother is!! I wish I too get a husband like him."

Avika's voice pulled her out of her thoughts and she drank her tears.

"Let's Go, Arya...... Alex (Ved's son) wants you to play a game with us."

Arya wanted to neglect her but Avika didn't give her a chance and took her to the TV room.

Arya noticed there were his  brothers, cousin brothers, and sisters and felt like running from there.

She was younger in all of them and she knew they would not leave a single chance to embarrass her.

Her eyes fell on Neel, who was looking at her with a mocking smile and she was sure about it.

"Sister-in-law take a seat," she heard Raiva's voice (Ved's daughter) and hesitantly took her step towards the couch.

She didn't see Amisha there and her anxiety increased.

"Let's start," Alexander chirped and Arya nervously smiled.

Ved Raichand had two sons, Alexander and Victor who were twins and well-reputed businessmen, they were the same age as Neel, while Raiva shared the same age as Avika.

"Where is Bhaisahab?"  Vivaan who barely talks asked looking at Arya.

"Unhe kuchh kaam tha," Arya quickly answered and went silent.

They started the game and Arya kept sitting there uninterestingly.

She was getting bored hearing their bickering on small issues.

"Aren't you enjoying?" She came out of her thoughts hearing Neel's voice who came and sat beside her.

"I am."

"You don't–

Neel was cut off hearing Raiva's shouts.

"IT'S SISTER-IN-LAW, It's Sister in law, I will ask her,"

Arya noticed that the bottle was in her direction and sighed.

"Ask who is stopping you," Avika said rolling her eyes back and forth.

A naughty smile came on Raiva's lips and she smirked giving Arya a naughty glare.

"So get ready sister in law I will ask you two questions."

Arya nodded her head rubbing her sweaty palms together.

Raiva smiled and asked, "Is Krunal Bhaisahab good in bed?"

Arya's eyes popped out in embarrassment and her heart thudded loudly In her ribcage

"What question that was Raiva," Neel glared at his cousins' sister and Alex quickly defended.

"Come on Neel she is just asking, What's wrong with that?"

"Answer Sister in law," Victor cheered making Arya blush hard.

"um, I don't know," Arya bit her lips and answered.

She wasn't lying though, In the three years of their marriage life they hardly got intimate.

Raiva sighed and opened her mouth again throwing her question, "How many times?"

Arya got her question and her cheeks reddened than red tomato.

Alex chuckled and again expanded the question to tease her, "She is asking how many times you had sex with Krunal Bhaisahab?"

"Two Times."

They heard a manly voice and turned to look at Krunal who was leaning on the door staring at them with emotionless eyes.
