Mohabbat kya hai, ush shakhs se pucho......
Jisane dil tootane ke baad bhi ushi ka intezaar kiya ho.

(What is love? Ask that person,
The one who waited for the same person ,even after the heartbreak.)

"Avni, what was the need to say bebe that you know cooking? Now here, fight with this sweet guard. "She mumbled while trying to cut the vegetable but still was unsuccessful.

"You...problem kya hai tumhare. I am trying to cut to you, but you are being so stubborn. Why?" Avni said, glaring at it when suddenly she smelled something burning. Turning toward the stove, she saw the vegetable burning.

"Oh! God?" Avni said, holding the hot pan m, then immediately turned off the stove.

"It all is burned. "She said sadly, looking at the vegetable which turned black due to excessive heat. Seeing all her hard work getting wasted , her eyes started to tear up.

"Shhh...calm down, Avni. It's okay. You can do it.
"She mumbled, trying to motivate herself.

But how? It's already going to be 8 soon. She thought, glancing at her wristwatch.

Avni stood their dejectectly. She was feeling like a failure when she felt someone's standing in front of her.

Upping her lashes, she saw the same maid whose name was laxmi standing their with a trolley.

"Mam here. You can serve it to the Mrs Khanna" She said, making Avni,who was standing their emotionally crying her in her embrace. Well, it was the first time of her feeling so alone and vulnerable.

"But why are you helping me and this food? From where did you get that?" Avni asked after consoling herself.

"I bring it from home when Mrs Khanna asked us to take leave but my daughter heard you saying that you don't know cooking so being your servant it's my duty to help my master's missus. "Laxmi, the maid said.

"Oh...thank you. You don't know how big help you did of mine. " Avni said, but before they can talk more, they heard someone's footstep.

"Ma'am I must leave now," Laxmi said scarcely before leaving from the back door.

"Hmm.. I must say that you know cooking very well," bebe said, making Neev agree with her.

"Yes SIL its really nice."Neev said making Avni nod awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Then she glanced at Neil, who was just staring at the food.

"Neil, why are you not saying anything?" Bebe asked.

"It is okay. " He said, looking up at her with his hard eyes, making her scare a little when they both heard her again.

"Oh..I forgot the one more ritual in which new couple's need to feed each other with their own hand." Bebe said, making Avni's eyes widen.

Bebe aap nu aaj hi saari rasame yaad karna hai.

(Uff..bebe do you need to remember all rituals today only. )

"DIL sit and Neil you , your wife. " bebe said, making Avni sit beside him unwantedly.

"Neil, what are thinking feed her. " Bebe said, seeing him not moving.

"Bebe, I don't believe in these stupid rituals , so please keep me away from them. " He said.

"Neil, I said feed her. " Bebe said sternly.

"Bebe.."he was going to say something but stopped.

"I said feed her. " She said sternly, making him nod unwantedly, and then he served her plate and fed her with his own hand.
