“Maa?!?” Shivaay finally chokes out.
Anika was scared. So she quickly clutched Shivaay’s hand.
Pinky who was staring at Shivaay notices this and clears her throat. Shivaay slowly removes her hand from his’s not before assuring her that ‘things will be alright’ by slightly squeazing her hand.
“Who’s this, Shivaay?” Pinky asks sternly.
“Shivaay’s Cook, Aunty” Anika replies without giving it a thought.
“Wuck! Not again.!! I better teach this girl some lying skills soon” Shivaay the ‘lie-expert’ which he claims himself to be thinks.
“Shivaay’s Cooks?” Pinky raises her eyebrows.
“Shivaay cooks well, Mam. But since he’s working twenty four-seven, he appointed me to take care of the culnery section, Mam. Myself Anika. ” Anika talks looking down.
“You both came togethers now?” Pinky throws dagger through her eyes.
“I went with her to the nearby store to pick the fine vegetables Mom. You know na.. i pick the finest!?” Shivaay speaks pulling out a fake smile.
Pinky is half okay with the situation now. But she still raised her finger for another question.
“Stand aside pinky. You always doubt your son.. Hayyeee mere puttar.. how are you?!?” Dadi came pushing Pinky away and hugged Shivaay. Shivaay has the widest of smiles and hugs her back lovingly and kisses her forehead.
“Dadi!!!! You finally came to meet your potaa” Shivaay says and pulls her cheek.
“I was dying to come. It was Pinky who asked me not to. She told me that im the one pampering you so much and turning you into a spoilt brat. I could manage a month without you but not a second after that. So i came flying here” she replies back returning a cheek-pull.
Dadi looks to anika and she smiles.
“Mujhe apna aashirvaadh dedho Daadi ma” She says and touches Dadi’s feet.
“Live the longest, with all the health, my child!” She blessed and pulled her up.
“One comes home carrying a girl with sprained leg and says that she’s his foreign friend. One comes drenched in puddle waters. One comes with another girl and says she’s his cook. Oh my maata..” Pinky rolls her eyes.
Shivaay and anika search for Omru and Gauri. All three come out of Shivaay’s room. Gauri was limping holding Om’s shoulder and Ru was rubbing his wet hair.
“Hmm.. Shivaay Tum jao.. get freshened up. We’ll eat. Mummyji was already hungry on the way. Anika.. jao.. make us lunch” she says and Shivaay and Anika drops their jaws again. Even Omru was looking at each other.
“Phail gaya raitha” Anika mutters.
“Kya?!” Pinky asked with a questioning look.
“I mean.. Raitha.. has spilled in the kitchen… So I should probably clean it up.. and start cooking” Anika stammers and slowly drags herself to the kitchen squinching her eyes.
Shivaay tries to stealthily follow her. But fails.
“Shivaay!! Kahaan jaa rahe ho tum? Come” Pinky catches him going.
“Maa.. maa.. i was just err..umm.. just getting water.” He tries escaping. She pulls out a water bottle from her bag and hands it to him.
He bites his teeth and fakes a smile. “Thankyouuuuu mumma” he fakes a sweet voice. Pinky smiles and starts chatting with Dadi.
Shivaay gets thinking. Suddenly everyone hears a vessel-drop sound.
“Oh my maata!!!” Pinky screams.
“Koi bath nayi he, aunty.. just a slip of hand” Anika squeals from inside.
“Hmm. Dont call me auntys. Im not that olds. Call me Madam” Pinky states.
Shivaay feels hurt. Anika just freezes for a second and shrugs her shoulder.
Shivaay keeps oscillating his eyes thinking about a way out. His face suddenly brightens up. He pulls out his mobile and starts texting.
Anika gets the vibration in her jean pocket. She jerks and spills the water on the slab.
“Shit!!!” She mumbles and read the text.
Shivaay: What are you doing in there?
Anika: uh?? Recording a rap song with Dhinchak pooja ?
Shivaay: Huh?
Anika: Duffer!! I have no idea what im doing here. Help me no…
Shivaay: Acha tk. Mom likes tawa cooked vegetable pulao with more corriander with a tinge of clove smell and no Ajinamoto! Any idea about it?
Anika: Mummmyyyy… such a huge dish??
Shivaay: Monkey! It’s just “pulao”. I just told you what should be added and what should not be.
Anika: Oh! Acha.. tk.. tell me the ingredients and procedure. Ill try to do as you tell me.
Shivaay: Hmm. So first take a Tawa and place it on the stove.
Anika: what’s a Tawa??
Shivaay: …..
Shivaay: Phail gaya raitha. ?
Shivaay then sends her pics of all the ingredients and sends the procedure as well. Each and every detail. One by one.
When they were almost done, Pinky suddenly pulls Shivaay’s phone.
“I have visited you and Dadi is here too. But You are busy chatting. Now tell me.. why didnt you like that Alliance i sent you that day??” Pinky starts talking but shivaay’s heart kept beating faster.
“Ahh!! We were almost done” he screams in his mind and was faking a smile to Pinky.
A little later Anika comes out holding a bowl. She had a small smile on her lips. Still her hands were trembling. She placed it on the table and asked everyone to come.
“Ahem! I’ll first taste it. I wanna know what kind of food she makes for my son” Pinky orders and takes a spoon.
She takes the first spoonful and tastes it. She closes her eyes and squinches it.
“Oh my maata! Itni Ajinomoto!!!!!! My son will definitely fall sick. What have you done girl?!? Is this how you cook?!?! Where did you do your classes? Eww.. have you ever tasted your food??..” she keeps yelling.
Anika’s eyes was welling up but she was still faking a smile. While Shivaay tries defending for Anika. But in vain.
Anika cuts pinky in the middle “.. This wont happen again madam. Ill do it better the next time”
”
Next time? Im firing you. Get lost. Ill send a better cook.. why better.. the best cook for my son.” She lashes.
Anika still manages to smile but a tear drops down. “Sorry Madam. Will leave today night. My Monthly pay ends today” she says and walks out without even listening to what pinky has to say.
“Maa!! That was rude. What will she do? She usually cooks splendidly. Maybe this time, she made a mistake. That doesnt mean you should shout at her like that. You shouldn’t have actually. She’s my cook and i have no objection with her skills.” Shivaay sternly argued.
“I hate her!” She states and raises her eyebrows.
Shivaay angrily rushes to his room slamming the door.

It was night already. Pinky decides to go back with Dadi.
“Chalo Omru.. come with us!” Pinky says and Everyone gasps.
“Maa.. We just came yesterday. Please let us spend another day with Bhaiya!!” Rudra whines.
“Haan.. maa.. Please!!” Om pleads with his eyes fixed on Gauri who was too tensed.
“Okay then.. You are leaving tomorrow and that’s final. Om, you have your Art Exhibition this week, remember ?? And rudra.. you havent attended the college in months. So better come back soon and move your ass to your college” she narrows her eyebrows.
“Will miss you so much Billu. Come back soon” Dadi says and kisses his forehead. Shivaay returns it with a cheek kiss.
“Acha beta.. Take care!” Pinky tells shivaay and he is no where near to ‘interested’ in talking to her.
Waving a goodbye, Pinky and Dadi leaves the spot.
Om faintly smiles to Gauri and she sharply breaths out. Rudra hugs shivaay and shivaay has a lifeless reaction.
