Ashima was in the kitchen, she had an apron on, a spatula on other hand, as she was watching a YouTube video on how to make kadhi( a thick gravy made from gram flour )

She watched the video, and start preparing for ingredients, she mix everything in sour curd, like all spices and of course gram flour.

She takes another pan, pours some mustard oil, lets it heat and then adds cumin seeds, hing.

Putting them on low heat, so the spices do not get burnt, after letting them sizzle for minutes she adds some red crushed chillies, and then curry leaves, after sauteing them for a minute she adds mixed curd slurry.

Stir the whole thing for some time she leaves it to boil on its own, she takes a steel katori and put it in kadhi, so it will not flood out,

There is a saying that 'you should always add a key ingredient in kadhi, it's very bad amen to made it without any key ingredient '

And also 'the more kadhi boil, the tastier it will be.

Ashima start preparing onion pakora, as she was frying them, her phone starts ringing, it was her mom's.

"Haa mummy."

"Yeah, I'll be there, don't worry."

"No, I will not take kushu with me, hmm."

"Kadhi and rice."

"Hmm"

"Okay, will talk later."

"Byeeee"

She put the kadhi on low flame, and take kushu in her arms to sit on the sofa, she made a call to someone.

"Hey, good morning."

" Uhm are you free this afternoon"

" ohhh, okay"

"Can I come?"

"Okay, I'll be there."

Ashima showered and get ready wearing comfy clothes, she took kushu, put him in a cotton bag with his necessities, then she packed kadhi and rice,

She starts packing her bag and all the things, checking everything in her home, locking every window and door, ashima gets out of the building and sits in her car, she put kushu on the passenger seat and drives to the destination.

Ashima arrives at aman hospital, she goes inside and texts him that she's here, after a few minutes a nurse came and led her to aman's office, she knocked on his office door.

"Come in."

"Hey," ashima said putting her things on the couch.

"Hey" aman smiles at ashima and helps her in settling her things.

" I made some kadhi, so thought of having lunch with you," Ashima said explaining her visit.

"Really!! Kadhi, where is it?" Aman said with a wide smile plaster on his face.

Ashima takes out the container, and put it on aman's desk, kushu start roaming around his office, and he starts climbing on his bookshelf.

Aman made a call for someone, who brings them plates and other things, aman was sitting opposite ashima, while kushu was laying on his desk,

Ashima serves hot rice with kadhi to both of them, they start eating in silence, there was no need for talk, both of them were hungry, one was eating with a spoon and one was eating with his hands,
