AT AFTERNOON
The Maharani of Hastinapur walked towards the rasoighar (kitchen) as she remembered that she haven't eaten until now since she was busy in puja.
She thought that only she is left to eat until the sight of her life partner walked out of the kitchen with food, making her surprise.
She glanced around the empty corridor and the inside of rasoighar nervously before walking towards the said person who noticed bhanumati's presence, making him halt his steps.
"Let me do it" Bhanumati said as she went towards the stopped King of Hastinapur, only to realise that duryodhana had already served his food making her feel guilty, which maybe her husband did noticed, judging by the words that came out of his mouth.
"Come in the room with your food"
The sentence might have felt like a command or order, if not for the underlying gentleness and jitteriness making bhanumati know that he is trying and he is also nervous like her, which made her feel motivated as she nodded before going inside the kitchen to serve her food.
The time she came out of the kitchen, duryodhana was still standing there with the food in his plate while waiting for his wife making bhanumati smile slightly but it was hidden under her covering veil on her face as she follows duryodhana's step in order to not to trip or fall down before they both reach their room.
Both of them went sat down on the table chair-
-as duryodhana took the first bite of his serving making bhanumati start eating her food too.
The silence in the room is too thick that even food swallowing feels like rock stuck in throat until a heavy deep voice echoed in the room, making bhanumati look up at her husband in confusion.
"Huh?"
"I will eat my meals in the room from now on"
Taken by the confusion, bhanumati just nodded while staring at duryodhana who continued eating normally.
