"Zoya how much time will...." Pooja stopped seeing the scene in front of her . Her words got stuck in throat and she couldn't believe what she was seeing it. Immediately moving back her back collided with Rehaan's chest. She looked at him horrified.

"Rehaan..." Pooja whispered and signalled with eyes to him to turn towards the kitchen. Rehaan saw at front and was surprised.

He then looked at Pooja who looked elsewhere n kept closing her eyes. After studying her face for a minute he burst into laughter.

"Donald Donald Donald ! You got to be kidding me." Rehaan said laughing. Pooja frowned.

"Seriously, are you still scared if this poor little thing?"  Rehaan said watching the rat which was on kitchen counter having cheesecake silently.

Pooja glared. "Shut up now! Rehaan please do something ! Mathews is also not here to clear the mess!" Pooja said seeing the position of the kitchen. The bowl was broken , the batter spread on the floor , the flour was spread everywhere and the racks were open.

"I never knew a rat could do so much hardwork! It's a mess now !"  Pooja said looking everywhere.

Meanwhile Pooja's parents came home.

"Pooja beta." Sakshi called . Pooja and Rehaan were astonished seeing her coming towards the kitchen entrance . She understood something was weird seeing their faces. Soon she came near them and saw the scattered kitchen.

"Beta what is this? How did this happen?"  Sakshi asked.

"Maa actually I tried to cook but went in vain. Rehaan helped me and ... and I don't know what happened ... this rat ended up here out of nowhere."  Pooja said scratching her head.

Sakshi crossed her arms and faked a smile .

"Waah! What a thought. In these many years you haven't stepped in the kitchen and now my dear daughter wants to become a chef! Rehaan , did you throw any motivation classes ?"  Sakshi said.

"Umm no aunty this Donald...I mean ... Pooja insisted me to join her . I stopped her but she didn't listen." Rehaan said trying to be serious.

Pooja glared at him. "You are so dead Rehaan" she muttered to herself. Rehaan understood her glare and couldn't help but chuckle even more but covered his mouth with hands.

"I feel sorry for you Rehaan beta ! Pooja never listens . Sometimes I doubt if she's really grown up." Sakshi said shaking her head in disappointment.

"Anyways , Mathews has come from his home town. I'll ask him to clear this. I hope you're done with your experiment classes Pooja."  Sakshi said giving a helpless look.

"Oh mom ! Come on.." Pooja said pouting. Rehaan coughed to suppress his laugh.

"Phew! Anyways ... Rehaan beta , let me know if you need anything." Sakshi said smiling. Rehaan nodded like a innocent child. Pooja gritted her teeth seeing his drama .

"Sure aunty." Rehaan said. Sakshi smiled and turned but was stopped by his voice .

"Oh aunty ... you're looking beautiful, as always."  Rehaan said with an adorable smile. Sakshi blushed .

"Aww thank you beta . Mathews! Mathews !" Sakshi called . Mathews immediately came to the kitchen.

"Yes ma'am" Mathews said.
