*IN THE DINNING AREA*

Shivanya and Gauri were setting the table, while Bhavya went to call the others to eat

The air between Shivanya and Gauri was awkward

Gauri was side-eyeing Shivanya wondering how she know about her Didi while, Shivanya was avoiding Gauri's look trying to calm her internal panic

"Toh khana taiyar hai!" exclaimed Rudra coming into the room

"ha challo dekhtey hai ki konsi experiments kiya hai in ladies ney" said Pinky sitting

"Come on Pinky experiment khehkey insult toh mat karo" Jhanvi replied

"ha Pinky humey vunki mehnat ko izzat deyni hai" Dadi added

"Arey sub loog agai leykin main people aur merey co-Juges kaha hai?" Rudra asked

"Agai hai hum" Shivaay said coming along with Om

"Oh, thank God. Mujey laga mai akeyley marunga bt worry not hum sath mai marengey" Rudra said making the aunties laugh

"haha very funny" said Bhavya in the most sarcastic tone

Shivaay and Om sat beside Rudra on each side

"challo phir let's start" Shivanya said

"aisey?" Rudra asked

"toh phir kaisey?" asked Bhavya

"wait mai dikhatahu" Rudra said getting up

"*clears throat* LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, AAJ OBEROI MANSION MAI PHELI BAAR HORAHI HAI EK COOKING COMPETION JAHA EK TARAF HAI COOKING KARNEY WALLEY, SHIVANYA AND TEAM" he announced showing Shivanya, Gauri and Bhavya

"AUR DUSRI TARAF HAI HAMARI ALL TIME FAVOURITE JUDGES THE O'BROS.....along with me" he added

"hogaya?, aab serve karu?" Bhavya asked

"ha, sure"

Bhavya and Gauri set the plates

"Ma, inki ey experimented food ka shikar hum horahahi, aapko kya jarurat hai?" asked Shivaay

"Arey habey bhi toh taste karneydey" Dadi said

"OKAY-" Rudra started but to be interrupted by Shivanya

"DUE TO BEING THE JUDGE, MR.RUDRA OBEROI VUNKI HOST KI PLACE MUJEY DEYRAHAI, please go and sit own" she said to Rudra

"OKAY, PRESTING TO YOU THE FIRST DISH THAT WAS PREPARED IS....STEWED RATATOUILLE" Shivanya said

Shivaay was quite taken a back when he was presented with is favourite food

"SECOND DISH IS FAMOUS MOST AUTHENTIC OKRA CURRY along with rice of course"

"LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE STUFFED CHICKEN" she said as the last dish was uncovered

"arey yeh toh hamara favourite dishes hai" Rudra said

"leykin yeh sab aapko kaisey pata?" asked Om

"well, Shivaay bhaiya ki favourite toh dadi ney pataya aur Om bhai ki Gauri di ney and Rudra bhai ka Bhavya di ney" Shivanya said while eyeing dadi who gave her a thumbs up

"leyk-" Omwas about say when Dadi interrupted him

"oho sawal hi karetey rahogey ya khavogey bhi?"

"right" said Shivaay trying the food in front of him as everyone followed his lead

'wah khaney mai bhi pheley merey hi baap ko first bite, what if khaney mai kuch ho toh?' Shivanya thought to herself

The oberois were speechless

"arey yeh toh-"

"bilkul Shivaay ki haath ki recipes jaisey bani hai" Pinky interrupted Rura

"ha" agreed Jhanvi

Shivanya was looking at her father as there was thin smile on his face.

'I agree ki cooking for family is fun but being served food cooked by others is also great, trust me it really is' Shivanya thought to herself with foolish smile

*AFTER EATING*

oberois were still siting in the dinning area

"khana toh bada tasty tha" Jhavni said

"I agree" Om added

"toh abb manogey ki hum bhi acha food bana saktey hai?" Bhavya asked

Making O'bros silent

"yeh khana tumney tohdi banya hai, tum ney sirf help kiya hai" Rudra replied

"ha, woh main chef hai aur hm vuskey helpers" Bhavya said back

"ha humney bhi bohat mehnat ki hai" Gauri added

"right, toh ey "MAIN CHEF" kaha hai?" asked Om

" agai" said Shivanya coming in with a tray

"arey yeh kya hai?" asked Pinky

"mai pata rahi hu abb aur khana hum nahi kha saktey" Jhanvi said

"khana nai, dessert hai" She replied giving each their bowl

"yeh tumney kaab banaya?" asked Gauri

"last mai chadaya tha"

"kya hai yeh?" asked Rudra

"meri favourite gajar ka halwa" she replied placing a spoonful of it into her mouth

The remaining were a little skeptical before eating as it was Anika's favourite too but tasted it at last only to be melted by the taste again

This time the taste reminded Shivaay of Anika

"ey bohat acha hai kaha sey sika?" asked Dadi

"yeh meri maa ki recipe hai, wunki favourite hai Gajar ka Halwa"

"Pata hai maa kaha karthi thi ki "AGAR MUJEY MARNA HAITHO MAI GAJAR KEY HALWA MAI ZEHAR MILAKEY MARUNGI, KYUKI ADMI KO VUSKI FAVOURITE FOO KHAKEY MARNA HAI" Shivanya quoted her mother's words in front of them not thinking anything

but her word left ShiOmRu speechless cause those were exact words by Anika

"waisey tumari mummy ka naam kya hai?" Om asked

"Annn-up" Shivanya said remembering where she was

'shit, I was too lost in my memories ' she said to herself, There was silence

"tumari mummy ka naam Anup hai, kya azeeb naam hai" Rudra said breaking the silence

"haha..." she laughed awkwardly

"Nai..meri mummy ka naam Anu... Anupama hai" she added

"Anupama, nice name" said Rudra

"ha"

'Anupama? chi itna old name agar maa yaha hoti toh muejy ek tapli parthi paka' Shivanya said to herself (no offense)

"Waisey ey saab kuch choiyeh, Shivaay bhaiya ney kaha ki woh meri ek baat manegey" She remined more like diverted the topic

"okay, kya chaiyeh tumey?" asked Shivaay with forced almost real smile
