After freshening up, Vrindha wandered into the kitchen, the aroma of spices filling the air. She found Krishna at the counter, expertly chopping vegetables with a focused expression.

Vrindha : Hey there, chef !

she called out with a smile lighting up her face.

Krishna glanced over his shoulder with  a grin spreading across his lips. 

Krishna : Welcome to the kitchen, my lovely sous-chef ! I'm making aloo curry and chapatis for dinner.

Vrindha : That sounds delicious !

Vrindha replied and her excitement is bubbling over. She moved closer, but as she reached for a pot, Krishna gently placed a hand on her arm.

Krishna : Why don't you sit down ? You've been busy all day.

He urged with concern flickering in his eyes. 

Krishna : I can handle this.

She shook her head with a determined look on her face.

Vrindha : I appreciate it, but I want to help. I can peel the boiled potatoes.

Krishna : Are you sure ? 

He asked by raising an eyebrow but smiling at her enthusiasm.

Vrindha : Yes ! Let me at least do that.

 she insisted by grabbing a peeler and getting to work. Krishna chuckled, shaking his head in amusement.

As she peeled the potatoes, Vrindha felt a sense of joy in participating. Once the potatoes were ready, she began smashing them with a fork, her concentration is evident. 

Vrindha : This is therapeutic !

 she exclaimed by grinning at Krishna.

Krishna : I'm glad you're enjoying it.

He replied by  kneading the dough for the chapatis. 

Krishna : It'll be worth it once we sit down to eat.

Just then, Vrindha remembered, 

Vrindha : Oh ! Amma is coming over tomorrow to spend some time with me during the pregnancy. I can't wait to see her ! 

Krishna looked up by  nodding with enthusiasm. 

Krishna : That's great ! I made arrangements for her stay, so she'll be comfortable. I even set up the guest room. She called me in the morning.

Vrindha : You're amazing, Krishna ! Thank you for everything.

 She said by  feeling her heart swell with love. 

He laughed by brushing flour off his hands. 

Krishna : Anything for you and the baby. I want to make sure you both have all the support you need.
