A promise: That changed my life

Siya

Last night I may have fallen asleep faster out of my tiredness but I slept in the position of big animals who are forced to sleep in the small cages. Sleeping on the cough was surely the worst choice I made in a while. It has given me a stronger ache in my neck, arms, back, and legs, in short, everywhere.

Stretching my arms to release some of my pain didn't help much as I got up, freshen up, and off to the living room.

"Bhabhi sa woke up early." Sunny stated, seeing me, Suddenly I got a neck ache. When I moved my head to glance at him, I squinted my visions in pain.

"Are you okay?" Maa sa asks.

"Yes, I guess," I replied.

"I think...last night, Karan bro was wild." Kaya teased, I was on my way to refuse her but what would I say that Karan and I didn't even sleep together.

"Ohh, in that case, you should take a rest." Maa sa suggested to me.

I deny her with a smile, "I am okay, it's just a small ache. It will go."

She nodded, gesturing to me to sit with them, as she spoke "By the way, we have a family ritual that the new bride of the house should make something sweet to eat for the family on her first day. First rasoi you know."

"Ohh, so what should I make?" I asked them, and It was my mistake.

"Anything, but first, I want a cup of tea and some paratha," Thakur sa says.

"How about a chocolate cake with a latte mocha?" Kaya advises me.

"oh, my Firangi sis, you aren't sitting in the French cafe, Bhabhi sa, you make simple Gulab jamun," Sunny said.

"Oye, Gulab jamun is so sugary, dad has diabetes and you want us to get too?" Kaya argues.

"Come on, you French." Sunny throws a tissue on Kaya's face as she throws back.
