The day started with me cracking my brain  in search of what to make for Hafeez and his friends. I never ran out of ideas but for some reason that day, I was out of them.

I thought about zobo but I figured out that it might be too basic and common, I wanted to make something a bit different, it took me a long while to decide but at last I chose to go with a simple mocktail that is made with fresh watermelon juice, fresh orange juice, orange and lime slices, cinnamon sticks and mint leaves for extra flavor. I also decided to make kunun madara to serve as a side dish. So far so good, the only problem was Layla and her obsession with making everything difficult for me.

"I want to use this bowl" she said, referring to the same bowl I just picked from the drawer.

"So go look for another one, it came in a set of three" I Said.

"You go look for another one, I saw this one first" and then she grabbed on it and started to pull. I was just amazed by how she was acting like a three year old, throwing a tantrum over a bowl she could've easily found, but trust me to not entertain her, So i just let go off the bowl and she ended up falling down with force.

"Are you out of your mind?" She snapped as she pulled herself up "how dare you push me?"

I ignored every word of hers and proceeded to get myself another bowl that was exactly like the one she too, but even bigger. I set it on the kitchen island and started to make my mocktail.

"Am I not talking to you?"

Again, I ignored her.

"Oh you wanna act tough? Let me show you what's tough" and then she came at me, holding her hand up in the air, she was about to land it somewhere on my body but I was quick to grab and twist it behind her.

"Wallahil Azeem if you don't leave me alone I will push your head inside this mocktail. Don't try me!" I warned before I let go off her hand. I don't know what she did after that, but I didn't hear her say anything, which made me sigh in relief because I was actually about to push her head into the bowl full of mocktail.

She went back to what she was making while I focused on mine, and that's how we worked in silence, with her eyes boring holes into my skin as she glared at me, and no, I wasn't looking at her, I could just feel it because the glaring was really intense.

Some 20 minutes later, I was done with both the kunu and mocktail, I transferred the mocktail into a fancy glass dispenser and the Kunu into a huge fancy glass bowl that has a lid before coming back to clean up the mess I made, but I couldn't do it as I couldn't help myself but watch Layla and wonder what the hell she was doing. How can someone that wants to make Alfredo pasta be pouring skimmed milk inside the pot like water? And apart from the pasta, She didn't have any of the other ingredients needed to make that dish. I was so zoned out that I didn't realize when hafeez came into the kitchen. he was slightly wet, shirtless and in sweats, it was clear that he just came out of the shower.

"What smells so milky?" He asked and took another sniff.

"The Alfredo, it's coming together so well" she replied, getting excited already.

"I don't know much about cooking, but Alfredo with milk?" He furrowed his eyebrow.

"Yep! It's a new method" she said "here, have a taste" she got a fork and swooped some of the pasta from the pot, she blew it with her mouth to make it a bit cooler before she moved her hand forward and fed him.
