Nandini's pov

"Good morning Nandini!" Manik came from his room and leaned forward to embrace me but I stepped back.

"What's wrong?"

"Manik we're in the living room right now.How can you hug me over here?"

He craned his neck to inspect every nook and corner to find a soul.

"Koi bhi toh nahi hai yaha!"

"Aa jayege Ma--"  He engulfed me in a hug before I could complete the sentence.

Someone cleared his throat.

"Ho gaya ap dono ka MaNan milap? Ab Nandini ji aap batayengi yeh apke dadiji ne hume living room mein kon se task ka vishleshan karne ke liye bulaya hai?"

"Cabir we're not participating in any hindi essay contest.Aese hindi bol jo hum samjh sake!"

"Angrez chale gaye Mukti ko chor gaye!"

Manik and I rolled our eyes over their playful banter.

"Mukti and Cabir can you please keep quiet?"
I urged

"Yeh na kabhi chup nahi baithega isiliye ise Madhubhala mili hai"  Mukti shot a glare at Cabir

"Koi mujhe yaad kar raha tha kya?" Navya came in holding a puppy in her arms

"Isi ki kami thi" Manik rolled his eyes

"By the way Nandini don't tell me Amms pura living room saaf karane wali hai."

"Relax Manik abhi pata chal jayega!"

"So Manik ready for today's task?" Amms came  out of the kitchen wiping her hands with the kitchen towel.

"Yeah Amms Good morning!" She nodded

"Toh Manik andar aao kuch dikhana hai tumko" Amms ushered us to the kitchen

The kitchen looked like a perfect chef's kitchen,neat and clean with some plates and bowls lying on the kitchen counter.

Wait a second did I say Chef's kitchen? It indeed looked like it but with a difference. There were no ingredients stuffed in the bowls and plates. They lied empty and I knew where it was going.

"So Amms I suppose I need to cook right?" Manik cringed his nose as soon as Amms turned towards Vishnu.

"What's this?" He mouthed me. Well Yeah I know it's not for him but what's the fun in not teasing him.

"Toh Vishnu jaisa maine kaha wesa karna"

"Ji Amma mai karti"

"So Manik beta aaj tumhe traditional dishes banana hai and Nandini zara batana ise kya banana hai"

"Sure Amms!"

"Manik see you have to make idlis, dosa,one plain and other masala one, third you gotta make uttapam and as Amms says koi bhi acche kaam ki shuruwat mithe se hoti hai toh you have to make our special payasam."

"Bas itna hi aur bhi kuch baaki hai kya?" Manik gave me a fake smile

"Haan if you have no problem mai abhi Amms ko bolti hu" Amms was on the threshold of the kitchen and I took a step towards her.

"Nandini koi zarurat nahi hai ok" Manik grabbed my upper arm and pulled me back where I was.

"Sure na?"
