"Shiv"Iti called out to her husband who was busy doing something on his phone but looked at her when she called him.

"Kahiye"Shiv said.

"Aap staff ko bol denge kya ki kal se lunch time mein hamare liye itna saara khana na banaye"Iti said and Shiv stared at her in confusion.

"Lunch time pr ghar mein sirf hum hote h,aap office chale jaatein h,Nanisa Hukum bhi apne work place pr hi hoti h,hamare liye itna saara khana bana dete h yeh log,hum akele kitna hi khaa payenge!"Iti said.

"Jaha tak hame pata h roz normal khana hi banta h Iti"Shiv said because the same food is then sent for him and his Nanisa Hukum at their work places at lunch time.

"Nhi,roz 4-4 sabziyan banti h,aur 2-3 types ki dal banti h,aur pata nhi kitne type ke chawal"Iti said.

"Ha yeh normal hi h"Shiv said and she gave him a look of disbelief.

"Ek akela insan 4 type ki sabziyan aur 2-3 type ki dal kese khayega?"Iti asked him.

"Mat khaiye sab,jo accha lagta h unmein se woh khaiye"Shuv said.

"Pr baaki toh waste hoga na?aap hi toh kehte h khane ko waste nhi krna h"Iti said.

"Waste nhi hota h Iti,wahi khana staff bhi toh khaata h na"Shiv said and then she stared at him in confusion.

"Acha matlab baaki sab khana staff khaata h?"Iti asked and he nodded his head at that.

"Woh kya khayenge phir?sab yahi palace mein hi toh rehte h,staff ke liye alag section h,unka khud ka ghar nhi h,na woh log sham ko ghar jaatein h, isliye jo yaha banta h woh sabke liye banta h,sirf hamare liye nhi, isliye khana bulk mein aur itni variety ka banta h,unn sabki apni families bhi toh h,unke bacche h,apne-apne respective partners h"Shiv said and Iti was amazed hearing that.

"Humne kabhi nhi dekha kisi ko bhi,sirf cleaning staff aur kitchen staff ko hi dekha h humne,aur guards ko"Iti said confused.

"Kyuki unka section thoda durr h,palace aakhir bada bhi toh h,woh waha rehte h taaki unki privacy bhi rahe aur hamari bhi"Shiv said making her nod her head at that.

"Phir bhi khane mein itni variety ki kya zaroorat h? maximum 2 sabziyan aur ek dal,kaafi hota h ek insaan ke liye yeh sab"Iti said.

"Hamare yaha issi type se khana bante aaya h Iti,yeh humne decide nhi kiya hua h,pehele se aisa hi hota h,aur wese bhi kitchen waghera ka saara kaam Nanisa Hukum supervise krti h,aap unse kahiye"Shiv said and Iti immediately shook her head in denial at that.

"Aree aap unhe keh sakti h,woh aapki baat maan jayengi"Shiv said but Iti still shook her head in denial.

What if Nanisa Hukum gets angry?

She doesn't wants to meddle into anything related to the functioning of the palace.

"Nhi,hame laga tha ki sirf hum teeno ke liye khana banta h isliye hum aapse keh rahe the,agar itne saare log khaa rahe h toh thik h,jaisa h wesa hi rehne dijiye cheezon ko"Iti said as she turned the page of the book she was currently reading.

Shiv didn't said anything to her then and went back to his phone as the two sat on the bed ready to sleep after sometime.

"Aap thakti nhi h books padhkr?hum jab bhi aapko dekhte h aapke haath mein koi na koi kitab zarur hoti h"Shiv couldn't help but share his observation of the past few days.

"Hame reading krna pasand h"Iti said as she looked at him.

"Hame bilkul nhi pasand kuch bhi padhna"Shiv said and Iti shook her head at his words.
