Entering the living room I found it empty, but the comforting aroma of food hits my olfactory system . I dropped my bag on the couch and robotically my legs take me to the source through the hall which leads to kitchen.Suddenly the sensible part of my brain shouts and reminding me of the mission, and I halt my footsteps at the kitchen door. I take in my surrounding looking out for red signal ,as I find my mom's humming some old bollywood song while preparing chutney for pakoras.
From her body language I can say the coast is clear and she isn't aware of my today's deeds, so i breath a sigh of relief and threw out all the problems out of the window 'for time being' .My eyes catch the sight of tempting pakoras resting in the bowl and calling out for me, so I think of sneaking in , stealing the pakoras and slipping out without getting noticed.
Eating food is one of my favourite hobby so without another thought I enter the kitchen with my full focus on the bowl, but the plan didn't last long because the floor was so desperate to get a hug from me, which I ended up giving it .
Yes, I ended up falling on kitchen floor, with a loud thud just because ,I stepped on the toy car lying on floor.
"Ouch!" I groan in pain.
"Veera you okay? " Mon asked , and turned to look at me with sly smile on her face.
"Yeah, everything's cool, I was just having a close look at the flooring " I said while getting back on my footing.
"Indeed, you were," she smirked at me " wash your hands before eating them and chutney is almost ready wait for a minute" she warns me when go to grab pakoras.
My mom's is awesome cook and she has taught us some basic cooking but we are at no match with her, she is amazing at it. It's like her forte.
"Nah, can't wait for chutney because they are begging me to be in my mouth" I said giving a dreamy look at pakoras.
"Is that why you were sneaking around like a thief in your own house? surely it wasn't for pakoras, so tell me lady what are you upto? She asked me with a raised brow. While I was busy stuffing pakoras in my mouth but got choked when she eyed me suspiciously...
"I...cough ...I wasn't..cough....wh..why would I do .... chough .I mean sneak in my own house..." I lied while coughing and trying to gain some time.
"Ohh God, what do I do with this girl? she is about to get married but still can't take care of her self" she exasperated with with her hands raised, and went to get a glass of water for me.
I wince at the thought of marriage. And take the glass from her giving my innocent smile to coverup my distaste for marriage and drink it all in one go. And all the while she was still giving me stink eye.
I wonder how she can read my mind so easily does she have some superpower I thought to myself.
"No superpowers, I'm your mom,Now tell me missy what you are hiding from me" she says in stern voice leaving me gaping at her.
