My Heart Snatcher 💖

Chapter-38

Leaving Avni with her difficult exam Vikrant left home to do the rest of his work. It was almost evening. Avni was in kitchen scattering everything around her.

"God..,.What kind of person is he!....I know he wants to humiliate me in front of my family that is why he trapped me. Tchh......but what should I do now? What should I have to do first.....  Ummm..... I think first I should roast the semolina.... Or.. I should make the the sugar syrup... Oh god... This is so confusing..... What Ma used to do?....
Damn.... I can't even ask her....." She blabbred feeling helpless.

"Damn you Avni...How confidently you announced that "I can do everything". Now  bear the conciquences.... God what is this mess....." She was talking to herself while looking at the horrible condition of the kitchen she had created in a few minutes when suddenly an idea striked her mind.

"Come on... How can I forgot this is the era  of social media. There must be numerous of recipes on You Tube.... Humm... I am so stupid......"she said and started scrolling you tube.

"Hummm....this looks nice....." she said while looking at a recipe.

"Now I will make the Halwa that will compell everyone to lick their fingers...specially Mr. Devil....Oh I am getting impatient to see his reaction when he tastes this...." She stated and started the preparation.

It was almost one hour. Avni was still in the kitchen. Dadi tried to came and offered her help but Avni was so overconfident that she denied taking anyone's help. She wanted to shut his mouth with her own talent. So dadi along with her mother and sister went out for some more shopping.

Avni was getting excited while making the dish. "ummm.... Now I have to add the dry fruit.... Yes... Here you  go......" She mumbled and mixed the dry fruit as well...." Humm... It's smelling ok..... Should I just check..... "She thought..

"No..... Ma always says,First we should offer the sweets to God...." She thought and pour the halwa in a bowl and went out to the beautiful temple built inside the house.

"Krishna.... I have made this first time.... I hope it's good.. Please keep my honor in front of everyone...."
She prayed with heart.

" Cooking is such a hard work.... I am sweating like hell. I should take a shower first ...." She thought when she saw her messed up state and went to her room. After fresh n up she came back to kitchen.

"Now I can taste it..." She said but as soon as she tasted it her taste buds died with the horrified experience.

"Uggh... Yuck..... Why is it so sweet?.. Did I add sugar twice? This is way too sweet and can give diabetes to anyone who eats this..." She said making a face.

"Di.... We are back......" She heard Bulbul's voice.

"Shit.... They are back... What will I do now?.... How can I serve them this???" She started panicking.

"Angel..... Is it ready?" Sam asked while coming inside the kitchen and after him Bulbul too came following him. Avni was confused about what to say and how to handle the situation.

"Let me see what you have made Di...." Bulbul asked and tried to peek into the vessel and Avni's heart started pounding in anticipation.

"Nooo... She spoke and stopped Bulbul before she could move ahead.

"Bulbul....Not now.... Go wait outside... I will serve this after the dinner...." Avni said hiding her nervousness and composing herself.

"Oh come on di... I am just checking...." Bulbul argued.

"No Bulbul.... I said na... Go.... I will serve this after dinner...." Avni insisted.

"All right... Come Sam let's go....." Bulbul said and left and finally Avni took a breath in peace.
