Her feet dangled and eyes stared at him with unknown emotions. Her heart had swelled so much with his one gesture. Her heart wanted to hold him tight and tell him how much it meant to her , how much no one else has ever done this for her .

He looked so good preparing the batter , like a good kid and her mind wandered to all the articles that labelled him as a bad boy. If only they knew. He was randomly telling her the failed baking stories when he used to bake with his sisters .

" So , you know how to make chai except this " She asked as he mixed the batter . She wanted to help him and offered too , but he had denied .

" Yeah. The first thing i learnt making was chai. Because it's my first love " He smiled wide

" Well, chai toh sabko bnani aati hai ladoo , why are you so surprised ? " He chuckled a bit and then looked at her in realisation

" You don't know , right ? " His eyes gleamed with teasing and she gave him a blank look

" Who said ? I know how to make tea " She rolled her eyes and he raised his eyesbrows amused

" fine, tell me the recipe " He crossed his arms and smirked

" Ofcoursee ! pff so easy . Milk , Water ..... tealeaves ..uhmmm sugar "

" And ?? "

" And ummm aur bhi kuch hota hai ? " She scratched her head while he looked at her expectantly

" Ginger ! Oh and elaichi too and wohh hotaa haii naa masalaa ?! ighh i can't remember the name , that too , and shayad se daalchini too ? " She comoleted still confused and he looked at her as if she had grown horns

" The way you have turned my pyaari chai's recipe into a biryaani's recipe ! How could you even do this to my tea ? " He shook his head and she rolled her eyes .

" Kundrri , chai is gross. I don't know why you even like it " She exclaimed and was instantly met with a gasp and his head snapping to her

" Did you just term my chai as gross ? Miss Tejasswi Prakash , I can tolerate everything but one word against my chai , and you'll see what all i can do " He pointed a finger at her and she chuckled at the dramatic him

" Kundrii , Kuch bhi ? You should try coffee. It's the best . Do you even know tea leads to iron deficiency " She raised her eyebrows in challenge. He put the batter and ladle he was mixing with aside and looked at seriously

" Coffee. is. gross ! Not my tea. And if we are going at this , then your precious coffee leads to insomnia and an upset stomachs. And oh , increased heart rates too. Tskk ..... i would never drink such unsafe drink "

" Coffee is the best source to boost your energy and helps you progress glucose better . So watch it before saying anything against my coffee " She shouted and he gave her a weird look

" Laddoo , tea over coffee anyday. You and your coffee are flop ! " He gave a lopsisded grin and her mouth widened .

Jumping from the slab , she charged at him while he laughed running . The ladle in his hands with the chocolate spread the chocolate on both of them as he ran with it in his hands and she squealed

" what the hell , kundrii " She whined and he covered his mouth to control his laugh looking at her face a slant line was drawn of chocolate across her face. She looked so cute with the angry pout and the slant line

" You look.... You look like a cartoon ! " With this he burst out in laughter leaving her wide mouth. She moved forward and grabbed his hair and tugged at them .

" stop making fun of me Nalayak " She yelled and he laughed more but scowled a second later at the pain

" Baal chod mere , laddoo. Mere baal ! AAHHH . Itni mushkil se gel se set krta hu aur tune saare khrab kr diyee " He mumbled as he managed to free his hair
