In the shadow of a legendary feud, where ancient rivalries simmer, a hidden truth awaits. Beneath the surface of animosity and pride, a tangles web of emotions threatens to upend the fate of sworn enemies.
As the winds of destiny sweep them towards...
".................I wish I could you give but we don't have that in this palace right now-"
"Then go-"
"-and it is midnight"
"Your child wants it, not my fault" Maybe she didn't realised what she mutter out but to Duryodhana, it was anything but this he could had heard at this time, though he did and..........
"Should I cook for you?"
The pregnant lady stare at her friend before chuckling, only to quiet down when she realised he is serious "seriously?"
"Want or not?"
"Cuisine?"
"Sure. Wait for some time" Duryodhana get up from the ready, still in his comfort clothes as he open the door to go towards the rasoighar (Kitchen) but stopped upon hearing "wait! I will also come with you..........I can?"
It confused duryodhana for a bit but didn't stopped him from agreeing "sure" to which she beamed before following him.
Both the royal enter the rasoighar as duryodhana started picking up the ingredients needed in the dish while Bhanumati continously keep her eyes on him while sitting on the counter beside the vegetables.
It was all silent while duryodhana knead the dough before the lady let out "umm" taking his attention "hmm?"
"can we have............gajar ka halwa (carrot pudding)? It's alright we ca-"
"yeah we can. There is some gajar (carrots) left"
The lady blinked for a moment before tilting her head against her knees with a gentle smile as she stare at her friend who is now cutting the vegetables while the Dal (pulses) is being soaked in water.
"how do you know cooking? Not complaining, just curious"
"my brothers"
"your brothers?"
"yeah, they would usually get hungry at unusual times and refuse. To eat fruits so I cooked for them........" The eldest Kaurava paused before completing ".........but it was in childhood" though he didn't expected her to reply with "then I hope you will cook for Lakshi & Lakshya and for our child too" making him look at her who is already looking at him as he again went back to cooking.
There was no reply for it but Duryodhana knows that he will do it if any of them ask him to cook for them............including her too.
The left time passed in comforting silence as Duryodhana started serving everything in the plate before passing it to Bhanumati whose face turned into awe at the variety of dishes in front of her with just few ingredients. Even though it isn't much for royal but for her, the food to be made by him and him not forgetting about the doctor's point to which he made the cuisine healthy too, made her feel more warm inside.
