Ragini, Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh, and Mrs. Janki Varma came downstairs.

"Mom, Can you tell me everyone's favorite breakfast? So I can make them as my kitchen rituals." Ragini asked Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh.

Both Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh and Mrs. Janki Varma looked at Ragini in surprise. Seeing the surprised look on their faces Ragini got confused.

"Did I ask something wrong?" Ragini asked hesitatingly. Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh and Mrs. Janki Varma smiled seeing her like that.

"No dear. It's just that we thought you are this generation girl and you will not be interested in this type of rituals and all." Mrs. Janki Varma said with a smile.

"Yeah. Remember Janki how we use to think about our daughter-in-law's post-marriage rituals.?" Mrs. Janki Varma smiled along with Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh.

"But why like that aunty?" For a fraction of seconds, the smile on Mrs. Janki Varma's face left hearing Ragini calling her Aunty. But somehow she forced the smile on her face.

"We have seen our friend's and relative's daughters and daughters-in-law. Many of them don't even know how to make Tea for the guests. And we were scared to think if our daughters-in-law will be the same as them then we need to do the kitchen work." Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh and Mrs. Janki Varma laughed remembering those things.

"Well, mom I came to form a very orthodox family. So I needed to follow all the traditions." Ragini said remembering how she used to do every work and her studies.

"Oh tell me more about your family dear." Mrs. Janki Varma asked enthusiastically. The smile on Ragini's and Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh's faces disappeared.

"Janki it's getting late for the breakfast I think she needs to start her rituals." Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh doesn't want Ragini to get sad thinking about her family.

"Oh yeah, and all the members in our family have different tastes in food." Mrs. Janki Varma said making face as she remembered how all the gents in the family have different tastes in the food.

"Yes, dear. All of them have different preferences in food diet." Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh sighed remembering this.

"Don't they all have any common thing they like?" Ragini didn't have time to make food according to their diet plan.

"Well all of them like Aloo Paratha very much that too with Pudina Chutney." Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh replied and showed the way to the kitchen. It is an open kitchen, the dining table is on the other side of the slab. She started her cooking and servants gave her the necessary items.

"Ragini we will be waiting outside in the hall, ok?" Ragini nodded her head. Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh and Mrs. Janki Varma

"Ok, Ragini let's get started and prove to them that you are not like others." Ragini encouraged herself and started her work.

Meanwhile, everyone got ready and started to come downstairs. All took their seats to have breakfast.

"Mom are we keeping fast today?" Arjun asked looking at the empty table.

"Why did you get that thought?" Mrs. Janki Rajvansh asked narrowing her eyes at him.

"Well, that table would always be filled before we come downstairs." Mr. Raghu Varma said looking into the newspaper.

"Yeah, today Ragini is doing her kitchen ritual." Mrs. Ravi Rajvansh's words took everyone by surprise. Harsha kept his phone aside and looked at his mom.

Before he could speak any word Ragini came out of the kitchen pushing the food trolley. The room was filled with a pleasant aroma.

"Sorry, It took time for me to serve all the items on the trolley." Ragini smiled apologetically.
