Wings Of Destiny

CHAPTER 31

After all the guests had left the house Kanika just sat on the sofa along with Rishi, Kabir and Ayesha they were chatting about the wedding, Kabir received a call and left hastily saying that he had got some important work which made Ayesha suspicious as she saw that the caller was Aditi, But she didn't say anything.

Ayesha told Kanika that Ahilya and Ajay were calling Rishi and her to the room, once she went there Ahilya told her to sit on the bedside couch, she then took out a jewellery box and passed it to Rishi. It was a pair of Gold Bangles, Ahilya instructed Rishi to put them on Kanika's wrist and told them that they were ancestral bangles that Rishi's grandmother had saved for Kanika. Somehow the bangles reminded Kanika of her grandmother and made her smile. She touched Ahilya and Ajay's feet and took their blessing.

Later Kanika goes into the kitchen for her Pehli Rasoi Ritual, she spends the first 15 minutes just thinking of what she should prepare that everyone would like, She asks Shiku Kaki what she should make and finally decides to make Sabzi Kachori which is basically Aloo Puri. She started by Boiling the potatoes and getting the Dough ready, all this while Kabir and Ayesha kept coming trying to peek at what she was doing and kept asking if she needed help. Kanika chuckled at them and then shot glares at them and said "I know Rishi has sent you guys, and I also know that he standing behind the door" They all laughed including the house help when Rishi came out from behind that door with his hands held in the air.

"Rishi I can cook and if you try to barge in once more I promise I will make you sleep on the sofa for a month" Kanika said throwing daggers at Rishi meanwhile his facial expression just changed and he said "Arrey I am your Husband how will you let me sleep on the sofa" Rishi said making everyone around him laugh at his misrey "Then don't disturb me guys and get out of the kitchen" upon hearing Kanika's command all three off them left the Kitchen.

Once she had made the Sabzi and Shiku Kaki was frying the puris she made Kachakola, she didn't want to make kheer like every other Indian Bahu so she decided to make Kachakol and shape them into different flower shapes with the help of chocolate mould.

After a while when everything was ready she instructed Shiku kaki to set the table, all the family members were seated at the dining table and Kanika started serving them and sat next to Rishi.

Kanika: (setting the dishes on the table) I hope everyone likes it. This is my first time cooking for all of you.

Rishi: (smiling) I'm sure it's going to be amazing, Kanika.

Kabir: (teasing) Well, if it's not, we can always order pizza.

Ayesha: (laughing) Kabir, don't scare her! I'm sure it's delicious.

Everyone sits down, eagerly serving themselves. The first bite is taken, and there's a moment of silence as they savor the flavors.

Ahilya: (smiling warmly) Kanika, this is wonderful! The aloo puri is perfect.

Ajay: (nodding) Absolutely. The kachakola is just the right balance of sweet and spicy.

Rishi: (grinning) See, I told you. My wife is an amazing cook.

Kabir: (pretending to be serious) Well, I have to admit, this is better than pizza.

Ayesha: (giggling) Kabir, you and your pizza obsession!

Kanika: (blushing) Thank you, everyone. I'm so glad you like it.

Kabir: (playfully) So, Kanika, what's the secret ingredient?

Kanika: (smiling) Love, of course.
