Rudra Bhai dropped me home. I asked him to have dinner with us tonight but he said he has some work and he will join some other day.
Changing into something comfortable I made my way to the kitchen. Today I am going to cook for Ranveer Bhai.
Like yesterday Gopal Kaka was waiting for me. We exchanged greetings and I told him I would make Ranveer Bhai's favourite food.
"He loves Kadhi-Chawal and Motichoor Laddu is his favourite. But if you cook Kadhi-Chawal that would be fine. I will instruct you." He said.
I grinned ear to ear because I knew how to make Kadhi-Chawal and Motichoor Laddu. So it won't be a problem.
"No Kaka, you sit and I will make on my own,"
"A-Are you sure?" He asked, uncertainty visible on his face.
I nodded. "But Mr Rajput said I will instruct and you will cook under my guidance. Do you know how to cook?
"Yes! I know" I chimed happily. "So today you can rest and let me do the cooking"
Reluctantly he agreed to let me do things on my own but stood close by.
I got started by adding curd with gram flour to prepare Kadhi.
Cooked rice, then prepared batter for Laddu and at last sugar syrup.
"Everything is done" I turned to look at Gopal Kaka and he looked stunned.
"You cook like you have been doing this for years"
Yes I have been doing it for many years
I am a child who was forced to grow up
I forced a smile at him and walked out of the kitchen.
It was time for dinner, I entered the dining room my brothers were already there but something was different.
They were all looking at me and I saw something in their eyes, hope? I don't know.
I took a seat and their eyes still followed my actions.
What do they want from me?
"For whom do you cook today?" Kabeer Bhai speaks first.
"Ranveer Bhai" I said looking at Veer Bhai to see his expression. Listening to this a smile formed on his face and i heard groans from my other brothers.
The house help place the food prepared by me in front of Veer Bhai. He rubbed his palm and looked to his left and right giving a smug smile to others. He took his time and finally lifted the lid of Kadhi. I asked the house help to serve the Laddu at the end of dinner.
They all took a deep breath inhaling the aroma of the food. Why are they acting so weird, i bet they have tasted food by the best chefs in the world.
Aditya Bhai served himself the usual dinner prepared for them. But the rest of my brother's eyes were darted to the Kadhi-Rice. When Ranveer Bhai was about to serve him, Atharyu Bhai beat him by lifting the bowl of Kadhi. Veer Bhai's eyes widened in horror, "That is made for me, yesterday you didn't allow anyone of us to even taste the food she prepared for you" He accused.
