He sat at the balcony sofa, Mehak added some pillows at his back for support and asked does he wants anything to eat and drink she will go and prepare now. He holds her hand and pull her to sit on his lap. Mehak panics as she afraid as it will cause him pain. Shaurya put a finger on her lip and ask her to take a deep breath, he is fine and wants her to be with him like this. Mehak slides her arm around his neck and ask is he happy now.

She went to room to check on Shaurya, he is still sleeping she went near him and ask him to wake up as it’s almost 9am. He rub his eyes and see her smiling and greeted her. She asked whtr he needs help to shower or he can manage on his own. He asked with his naughty eyes you take care of me at hospital and now at home you are asking me to handle on my own. She helps him to get up and ask him come I will shower you as well, or else you will complain like small 9 years old child, he pull her cheek.
At the bathroom she prepare the water for him and asked him to sit on a stool as she start to shower him and put shampoo and massage his head. Mehak massage Shaurya’s head with shampoo while he asked her to be gentle because he don’t like anyone play with his hairs. Mehak ignores and continue doing it and singing together , she spat on his shoulder and ask him be happy I am doing this for you, he winked at her and say if you want I can shower you too , I never had any problem. Mehak’s jaw dropped hearing it. Shaurya chuckled. She humming moh moh ke daga he enjoys seeing her humming happily. She quickly dry his hair with towel, he hold her waist tightly and move her closer to his chest. Mehak knows he is up to something naughty. She ask him behave properly or else she will beat him up. Shaurya shake his hair and the water droplet drizzled on Mehak and she scream gently.
Shaurya played the moh moh ke daga song on his mobile, Mehak happily singing as she help him to dress up. He watched her cuteness attentively. Shaurya twirled her around as she stop she playfully pulled his nose. He pulled her at the end of the song closer to him, she gave a peck on his cheek and run away she ask him to be in room she will get breakfast for him. She rush downstairs for his breakfast. Get his breakfast and went to feed him at balcony. He was enjoying his treatment as Mehak feeds him his sandwich. He play with his mobile and not looking at her.

Just then Karuna maa and Vicky drop by to their room to check on Shaurya how is he doing. Karuna maa added he should be lucky because my beti is taking care of him. Mehak asked them to eat their breakfast she already prepared all its waiting for them at dining table.
Awara came to balcony with a food plate for Mehak, she asked why he is troubling to bring it up. Awara replied madam asked to send your breakfast upstairs so you can eat with Shaurya sir. He left the plate on the table and went downstairs. Shaurya asked Mehak to sit down and eat as she is running around taking care of everyone. Mehak sat next to him and both had their breakfast together.
Vicky interrupted them asking for new menu as new month is coming and they need to plan , Mehak assured him she has some in her mind and she will email him later. Later she sat with Shaurya and both discuss the menu, Mehak suggested some menus and Shaurya not impressed, he tease her that the restaurant is hi end restaurant and not street stalls. Mehak rolled her eyes at his remarks. Then she continue to explain that we should cater for all range customers and presentation of food is important so that’s where it will show is it for roadside stall or hi end restaurant. Shaurya agrees on her point and she said she will try to do few dishes today and see what the reaction of people at home is first before preparing at White Chilies. Both continue to search for more options to try so they can add into their menu. Shaurya sat at balcony and continue with his work while Mehak went to kitchen to try on the menus.
She ask Awara for some ingredients and he gets it for her and Mehak started to prepare the dishes. As she was busy experimenting in the kitchen Shaurya came downstairs, he saw Mehak tasting the food went slowly kiss her on her cheek, Mehak startled with his sudden entry at kitchen. She asked him why came downstairs isn’t he supposed to be resting. Shaurya replied he is bored to be sitting and walking around room for 2 days so he came down slowly to see her. She ask him to stay away for a while and don’t disturb her as she is busy. Shaurya sat on the kitchen counter and observe her. Mehak saw him he is staring her, she asked him to stop staring she can’t do work like this. You used to do this at Super Cook I felt so uneasy if someone looking at me like this. He corrected her I am not staring at you just watching how you cooking, this is not the first time I am looking at you unless you feel something else which I can’t help it. Mehak continue with her cooking and she dish out into the bowls and start garnishing them. She offered one to Shaurya, he ask her to feed by herself. She feed him, he tried and what is this dish and tell more about this dish. Mehak explain it’s made of and how it is cooked. He pointed to her head and ask how come in this small head can come up with a dish in such a short span of time. She pulled his nose and said your pakora type nose only know how to get angry and scold someone khadoos kumar. Shaurya ask her not to remind him the past as he is the new Shaurya and he doesn’t do things like that anymore, she said not really once in a while you will start screaming at times I know you better than anyone don’t lie to me. They had cute fight at kitchen while Karuna maa and Dolly maasi came in to see what they are arguing about. They were afraid did this both started fighting again. Dolly maasi started to pray to matarani hopefully this 2 don’t fight and cause another misshape at home again.
Karuna maa stopped them and ask what happen now and they are arguing about. Shaurya quickly replied maa she is calling me egoistic and snob. Look at her face it’s like aloo paratha. Mehak cut in between maa isn’t he always like that maa, remember how he will react for even small matters and cause so much misery for me. Karuna maa and Dolly maasi looked at each other and laugh quietly seeing the way they are arguing for. Dolly maasi interrupted them and ask them to behave as they are old enough and if they both not been fighting like this Mehak would have done her ghodbarai. Mehak’s face turned red like tomato hearing it. Shaurya winked at her. Karuna maa asked don’t irritate her daughter and saw the food on the kitchen, she asked what this is. Mehak offered one each and Vicky came home he heard the commotion at kitchen he joined them too, she quickly offered him. She pass one to Awara to try and tell their honest opinion. Karuna maa asked today we are your judges is it? Mehak replied just think like that and give me your scoring. Don’t lie because I am your daughter just tell the truth, because if it’s nice this will be in White Chilies menu.
All tried the food and became so happy, Vicky asked for second helping. Mehak rested her chin on Karuna maa’s shoulder and hugging her around her neck. Karuna maa kissed her cheek and said you are blessed with your magical fingers. Whatever you cook even in hurry it taste so delicious. Mehak’s eyes on Shaurya she stick her tongue out. He smirked at her. We all love this dish so much. She ask them give some suggestion what name can we give for this dish. All start to think a name for the dish she made. As all move out kitchen, Shaurya pat on her back and moved away. Mehak ouches and give him look. Karuna maa asked them both to walk around the lawn and get some fresh air. Shaurya rested his left arm on Mehak’s shoulder and walked slowly. They sat on the green lawn, Shaurya put his head on Mehak’s lap and hold her hand tight on his chest. He shut his eyes, Mehak caresses his hair .Both chit chatting and having a good time.
