*The next day*

[When Zoya woke up, had a shower and entered the kitchen, she was surprised to find Aditya already working the kitchen.]

Zoya: (Tying her hair) Arre, aap hume utha dete...Sorry, pata nahi Aaj der kaise Ho gayi...

Aditya: It's okay, Main abhi 5 minute pehle hi aaya tha

Zoya: Kya kar rahe hai aap?

Aditya: Meat ko marinate kar raha hoon, shaam tak kebab banaane ke liye taiyaar Ho jaayega Na?

Zoya: Haan, Ho jaayega. Ek minute

[Zoya opened the cupboard and held the masala packet in her hands, while Aditya looked on.]

Zoya: Thoda aur garam masala daalne se zaayka badhta hai, yeh lo, ab kebab bilqul kamaal ke banege!

Aditya: Hmm

Zoya: Aapne chai pi Li?

Aditya: Nahi, abhi 5 minute pehle hi aaya kaha toh tha

Zoya: Arre Haan, theek hai, hum banaa lete hai

Aditya: Nahi Nahi, tum yeh marination ka kaam karo, mujhse yeh nahi hota...Itna complicated!

Zoya: Kuch mushkil nahi hai, aap sahi toh kar rahe hai!

Aditya: Yaar...Theek hai, Tum chai bana lo, lekin kebab agar kharaab bann gaye toh Main saara ilzaam tum par hi lagaaonga

[Zoya began giggling as she added the tea leaves to the vessel with milk and water, and at that moment, Aditya turned to see her giggle and a small smile formed on his face.

Suddenly, he looked ahead, after realising what he was doing. Why was he smiling like an idiot? Why was he suddenly being so talkative with her?]

Aditya: Yeh lo, Ho Gaya, ab issko fridge mein rakhna hai na?

Zoya: Ji, upar waale shelf par rakhein. Aur yeh lijiye aapki chai

Aditya: Thank you

[Back to their usual spot, Aditya and Zoya began sipping on their tea, enjoying the beauty of 10 AM mornings in Mussoorie. ]

Zoya: Nani ne aaj dopahar ke khaane ke liye wahaan bulaaya hai

Aditya: Hmm, I hope baingan ki sabzi banai hogi, mera favorite hai!

Zoya: Aapko baingan pasand hai? Hume Bilqul nahi pasand, Lekin Yash ko Itna pasand hai, Pata hai?

Aditya: Pooja ko bhi baingan Bilqul pasand nahi tha, usske smell se hi usse Kuch Ho jaata tha!

Zoya: Haan hume bhi usska swaad Itna khaas nahi lagta...Khair, hum biryani banaane jaa rahe hai

Aditya: Main help karun?

Zoya: Aap kheer banaa dijiyega, mera khyaal hai Nani ke Ghar se laut te 4/5 bajenge, aur aapke dost 6 ya 7 baje tak aayenge, sahi?

Aditya: Haan, Shaayad, aur kebab banaane mein ek ghanta lagega

[Soon, both of them began their preparations and left for Nani's house.]

*At Nani's house*

Nani: Yeh lo, aa gaye Mere dono bacche!

Aditya: (Smiling) Namaste, Nani!

Nani: Jeeta reh, Adi Beta

Zoya: Namaste, Nani

Nani: Namaste meri Zoya, Jeete raho

[Suddenly, Tara ran into Aditya's arm and he excitedly carried her, before she kissed Zoya on the cheek.]
