don't touch my stuff!

"Aur dusra..?" Veer asked, bringing his face closer to hers, making her quiet.

(And the second..?)

"Khana,"

(Food)

she finally spoke, "khana kha lijiye veer, warna mere dobra garam karne ki mehnat kharab ho jayegi" saying this she started eating from her plate and he followed suit.

(have food, Veer, or else my effort to warm it up will go to waste.)

After Some time, Mahi steadily pushed her plate towards Veer's side.

"Finish your food, Mahi" Veer replied Concentrating on his dinner.

"Par Mera pet bhar gya" she lowly spoke.

(But I am full)

"Do you do this at your home as well?" Veer asked and got a sheepish look from Mahi in return giving a positive sign.

"Do you know how bad it is to waste food?" Veer tried manipulating her.

"I know, Veer. tabhi to Main waste nahi kar rahi hun, aapko de rahi hun" Mahi smiled before continuing, "or wo bhi issliye kyuki Mera pet bhar chuka hai or agar Maine overeating ki to main beemaar ho jaungi or main agar beemaar hokar mar gyi to, Aapka kya hoga? Shadi ko chaar din nahi huye or nayi biwi ko maar diya, police le jayegi apko to" she dramatically said.

(I know, that's why I'm not wasting it and giving it to you, and also because I'm already full, and if I overeat, I'll get sick. If I get sick and die, what will happen to you? We've only been married for a few days, and you'll be blamed for killing your new wife. The police will take you away)

"Rajawats ki na bohot pehchan hai seher mein, police khud hi case handle kr legi" he joined in.

(The Rajawats are well-known in this city. The police will handle the case themselves,)

"par koi dusri ladki aapse shaadi nahi karegi iske baad" she gave another reason.

(But no other girl will marry you after that)

"Mrs. Rajawat, kabhi bahar nikal kar dekhna, ladkiyaan Marti hain aapke pati ke upar" he proudly said.

Mrs. Rajawat, kabhi bahar nikal kar dekhna, ladkiyaan Marti hain aapke pati ke upar" he proudly said.

(Mrs. Rajawat, step outside and see, girls would die for your husband,)

"Par agar me mar gyi to mere maa, papa to bohot royenge na, or main unhe rote huye nahi dekh skti" she said.

(But if I die, my parents will be devastated. I can't bear to see them cry,)

"Par unko rote huye dekhene ke liye aapka yaha hona bhi to zaroori hai na" he said, waiting for her another excuse.

(But to see them cry, you need to be here, right?)

'har baat ka jawab hai is insaan ke paas" mahi irritated, thought.

"True, but I don't want to die so soon. I'm only

'har baat ka jawab hai is insaan ke paas" Mahi thought, irritated.

(He has a solution for every problem,)

"Haan par Mera kya? I'm just 24 or mujhe nahi marna itni jaldi, isiliye Main ye khana nahi khaungi. End of discussion" Mahi declared.

(Yeah, but what about me? I'm only 24, and I don't plan on dying anytime soon, so I won't eat this food. End of discussion)

"Leaving your food might be acceptable at your home, but not with me, Mrs. Mahi" Veer said in a hushed tone. He grabbed the chair she was sitting on and swiftly pulled it closer to himself.
