Twenty Eight

Zayn and Liam came down after freshening up to have dinner with the rest of the family and found that Liam's family were at the dinner table as well.

"Oy, the chef is here. So let's eat, shall we?"

Doniya announced as Liam and Zayn sat next to each other. No, no, nothing changed. That were the only two chairs left with the rest of the family already there.

"Bhai, what did you make?"

Roo asked, forever excited to have the Liam special.

"Well Roo, apparently there are Chicken Kabab, Chicken Korma, Chicken Pasta, Chicken stuffed paratha, Chicken Samosa, and Chicken fried rice. If Liam could make the naan with chicken, he would have made that too. Right Liam?"

Zileh asked making everyone laugh.

"Oh, um.."

Liam started. But Zileh wasn't finished.

"Did you make these for all of us, or just for Zayn? Because all of these are Zayn's favourites. Did you forget us?"

"I.. I didn't. I can make something else if you don't like this.. I thought everyone liked chicken.."

Liam was sure all of the Maliks liked chicken. He might've outdone himself but there was no way they wouldn't like the food.

"Offo Liam! I can't even joke with you now, can I? I was kidding! These are still Zayn's favourite though!"

Zayn was silent all through the teasing because, yeah, all of these are his favourite and he is kinda impressed. Plus those weird feelings. Whatever caused that.

"Enough with the teasing Zileh. Let my son-in-law be!"

Yasser, who came early from work, just for Liam's pehli rasoyi took Liam's side.

"Alright Baba, we will let him off. Sigh, no one makes my favourites for me. You're so lucky Zayn!"

Doniya said winking at Liam and now Zayn had to say something.

"Come off it Di! Faiz Jeeju is literally working as a Chef in one of Dubai's best restaurants. You always get your favourites when he's here."

Zayn once again wished if Faiz was here. Even though he would not go against Doniya's wishes, he would definitely support Zayn. Or at least Liam.

Doniya made a face at Zayn and Zayn was about to grab something and throw at her when Trisha announced it's time to eat. And who would say no when such  a feast is laid in front of them!

"Arey Zeenat, why aren't you eating anything? Come on, taste and tell us what you think."

Yasser told his darling cousin and Zayn and Zileh almost groaned and Liam gulped in anticipation. Nothing good will come out of her mouth.

"Oh, Bhai jaan, I'm not sure. You didn't see the mess they created in the kitchen. Soap water everywhere. I'm afraid it has gotten into the food. You know how easily my stomach gets upset.."

Zeenat politely gave the food a disgusting look and Zayn is not going to sit there and take it.

"Oh Thank God! That's one less person I have to share the food with. Anyone else who doesn't wanna eat? Don't force yourself. If you don't wanna eat, don't worry, nothing is going to be wasted. I'll eat everything on this table!"

Kareena smiled at what Zayn was doing. She knew Zeenat was trying to make it hard for Liam. But her Zaynie is there for her son and that's all she could ask for.

"That's crazy, Zayn. You can't eat everything. Your stomach won't take it."

Liam said in a small voice. He knows Zayn was taking his side. But come on, be realistic.
