Recap - First meeting of Ak & Sk
---------------
(...continuing from previous chapter...)
"What do you expect from your life partner? " He asked his usual question to every prospective bride he met.
"Nothing."
"Really?! " He was surprised. ' A girl without any expectations?! Did she just say what I think I heard?! '
Misunderstanding his surprised expression as disbelief, Sanu explained.
" If I want my partner to accept me the way I am, I should also return the favor na? I should also accept him the way he is. That means no expectations at all. When there is expectations, there will always be disappointments.
Keep no expectations, be happy always, make all around me happy - that's my life mantra.
If he supports my dream, it will be the biggest blessing for me."
This level of maturity was unexpected. 'So young, yet so clear in her thoughts'.
" Shall we order something to eat? I love eating. " Sanu asked.
" And cooking? " As someone interested in cooking and experimenting with new recipes, he couldn't help asking.
" Not if you want your kitchen safe. "
" That horrible? " He thought she was exaggerating.
" Horribly terrible!" and she went into another storytelling mode.
"You may think that after one season in cwc, I have learned some cooking. But it's not true. I don't know why, cooking and me - doesn't match. I once ruined the oven, burned the pan and then amma banned me from the kitchen." She gave a sad puppy look and he suddenly felt like patting her head.
"But I know to make dosa and tomato chutney. " She beamed while saying the last part. Seeing her smiling again, he felt something pleasant inside.
"What is cwc ?"
"You don't watch TV ?"
Avinash shook his head, not wanting to say anything and create another uncomfortable moment.
Sanu didn't mind explaining. In fact, she got excited, happy to talk about her favorite show. "It's not a simple cooking show. It's a game show, with a unique mix of comedy and cooking. "
" If you don't know cooking, then why were you in a cooking show ?!" He was confused, not focusing on the comedy part.
" I was one of the comalis. See, in cwc, cooks are paired with comalis. They are people like singers, comedians, anchors and all, who don't know cooking. That brings the comedy element. The cooks have to handle cooking and the comalis, and face other hindrances to do the task. "
"That's an unheard concept. But nice idea."
"Hey ! It's not just nice, it's a brilliant idea. " Sanu said proudly. " Audience liked our show a lot. Second season was supposed to start by now, but it got postponed. It's really fun, but I feel like I don't have much to contribute." Her smile became small while saying the last part.
Avinash wanted to see her smile fully again.' Why am I getting affected by her happiness and sadness? ' He got confused. Not wanting to think more about it, he called a waiter. And was surprised when they both ordered donuts and macaroons.
"Hey, same wavelength. " Sanu got excited once more. " What else do you like? "
" Sweets. Continental... "
