KGF Spin-Off (Garuda x Sonal)

Chapter 5

I leave the dining table and make my way to the kitchen. Meera masi and Komaldidi were cooking something. I went to Komaldidi and hugged her from behind while saying " Ohhh Komal didi I missed you soooo much. How are you and Dinesh jiju ?" She turns around and hugged me tightly saying "Me and your jiju are happy as ever. We also missed you a lot. How was London? I thought you have forget about us and will forever stay there."

I replied with a fake frown " How can you think that I will forget about you all? London is great, especially in winter. There are so many new things there that are not here yet like these big double-decker red busses and people are also great but not as great as us Indians. I will show you pictures when I am not jet lagged anymore but right now I came here because I wanted to make sabudana khichdi for my uncle so can you please tell me where everything is in the kitchen ?"

After that, with their help, I started cooking and talking with them about my life in London and their life here. Just as I was packing khichdi in a steel lunch box and wrapping it in cotton clothing so it stays warm, Papa came in the kitchen asking " What are you doing in the kitchen ?" I answered saying" I was making sabudana khichdi for uncle that he likes so much."

 He came closer to me and lightly caressed my head and said " You really are a lotus in red ( like blood) lake beta. Are you ready to go ?" I thought papa wanted to say black lake like a mud lake but made a mistake and said red lake, I did not think much of it as we were getting late and said " I am ready papa. Let's go." We went to the car and I sat in the back seat. I didn't realise how I will wish at the end of the day that I should not had gone to El-dorado or I should not have come back to India.
