Light of my life (FANFIC)

Chapter 66

Gauri looked at Rudra, who had a pale expression on his face, looking like he was about to cry in any second now.

"You don't worry, Rudy bhaiyya." Gauri said placing her hand on Rudra's shoulder in consolation, "I will cook food for you freshly."

"What happened to his Pizza?" Jhanvi asked raising her brow.

"It got delivered to a wrong address." Omkara answered beating Gauri and Rudra, "And they ate it thinking it's a token of gratitude from their regular pizza store."

Pinky and Jhanvi nodded their heads  while Gauri and Rudra narrowed their eyes at Omkara.

Rudra's stomach growled in hunger.

"Come, Rudy bhaiyya, let's cook food for you." Gauri said.

"Yes, come let's go inside and cook food for you." Pinky said pulling Rudra with her walking inside the OM.

Amidst off these conversations, Omkara silently slipped away towards his safe haven, His tent.

"I am feeling hungry, I am starving, I am famished." Rudra began to cry sitting on the kitchen island.

"Aww... Mera Bacha, tell me what you want I will cook it up for you quickly." Pinky said cupping Rudra's cheek as he rolled his lower lip out.

"Yes, Rudy bhaiyya, what would you like to eat, Aloo paratha, Pasta, Dhokla, Mac n cheese... " Gauri began to name all the food items.

"Umm... " Rudra began to think, "I feel like eating Pasta Arabiatta with Potato... "

"Maggie." Jhanvi said walking inside the kitchen.

"Chi... Who will eat Potato Maggie, I am saying Potato Wedges." Rudra said making a face.

"Okay, I will prepare it for you right away." Pinky said grabbing a pan.

"Yes, I will start making sauce." Gauri said running towards the fridge to grab the ingredients.

"Stop everyone." Jhanvi said making Pinky and Gauri stop in their tracks.

"No one will make anything now." Jhanvi said strictly, "If he gets anything to eat, then that's only Maggie." Jhanvi said making Rudra pale.

"Jhanvi, he's craving for Pasta." Pinky said trying to convince Jhanvi.

"No, Pinky. You all are spoiling him, earlier he was throwing tantrums about home food and now he was ordering for Pasta and potato." Jhanvi said glaring at Rudra.

"Maaji... " Gauri tried to convince Jhanvi.

"I am not going to listen to anyone, now." Jhanvi said, "It's his fault for skipping meals and ordering for Pizza because of him the food got wasted today."

"Mom, it's not because of me, it's O... "

"Don't make excuses, I know very well about you." Jhanvi said cutting Rudra, "I am your Mom and you are the kid not the other way."

"But Mom... "

"Maggie or nothing." Jhanvi said strictly holding her hands in front in a challenging tone.

"Okay, I will eat Maggie." Rudra said pouting sadly, "Make Maggie for me, Chotimaa."

"You," Jhanvi said pointing her finger at Rudra, "Rudra Singh Oberoi is going to cook your own Maggie, only then you will know the effort that lies in cooking food and won't waste food from next time."

"Bwaahhh... " Rudra cried like a kid, "I don't want food, I won't eat anything, I will go and sleep,everyone's blaming me not even having sympathy for a kid." Rudra said trying to walk away from the kitchen.

"Where will you go? Huh?" Jhanvi said pulling Rudra back holding his hoodie from the back, "I will break your legs, if you step out of the kitchen with empty stomach, chup chap prepare your Own Maggie and Step out of the kitchen only after finishing your food." Jhanvi said holding the rolling pin in her hand.

"Dekhte jaa rahi hu mein, you are getting out of control day by day, throwing tantrums, disobeying elders. " Jhanvi scolded Rudra, "Don't forget I am your mother and I very well know about how to keep you in discipline."

"Jhanvi... " Pinky tried to rescue Rudra.

"You don't support his Pinky, he's becoming mischievous day by day." Jhanvi stopped Pinky.

"You, what are you watching standing there, move and start cooking your food." Jhanvi said giving a light smack on Rudra's arm making him move towards the pantry to grab Maggie packet.

Rudra began to cook Maggie grimly while Jhanvi along with Pinky and Gauri sat on the dining table to make sure that Rudra's behaving well.

"Where's Om?" Jhanvi asked Gauri.

"Omkaraji...?!" Gauri began to look around for Omkara, "He had been by my side, where has he gone?"

"What's Om doing in Garden?" Pinky asked standing by the window pointing towards Omkara, who was laying in his tent.

"Omkara... What are doing outside in this freezing temperature?" Jhanvi shouted from the kitchen window.

"I am good here, Mom." Omkara shouted back, "I want to spend some time alone."

"Omkaraji... Get inside." Gauri called in a sweet tone with a danger laced in her voice.

"No." Omkara said shaking his head, "I am better here, Good Night, Ladies." He said hurriedly zipping up his tent.

"What kind of kids am I having?" Jhanvi said shaking her head, "Stubborn boys, not listening to their mom, thinking since they had grown beards and moustaches they can do anything as they feel." Jhanvi began to taunt and walked towards the dining table, where Rudra was sitting glaring at his weirdly done Maggie.

"May be I should start treating them like kids based on their childish behavior." Jhanvi said smacking on Rudra's head, "Eat, what are you looking at? Your Maggie won't magically turn into Pasta if you keep on looking at it, Eat." Jhanvi ordered Rudra and he hurriedly began to stuff the Maggie in his mouth pouting and crying looking at an angry Jhanvi, who was sitting in front of him with a Spatula in her hand.

"Did the sun rose in the West today?" Tej asked sitting in his chair at the dining table.

"No, why are you asking so, bade papa." Shivaay asked raising his head from the tab in which he was checking the day's Stock market index.

"They made Khichdi for breakfast and Rudra's eating it without throwing any tantrum!" Tej wondered looking at Rudra, who was eating Khichdi silently.

"Rudra is a smart boy, who knows what happens if he throws a tantrum." Jhanvi said coming towards the dining table with a jug full of Orange juice. "Hein na, Rudra." Jhanvi asked him in a 'dare-to-say-no' tone.

Rudra nodded his head stuffing a spoonful of Khichdi in his mouth and swallowing it with difficulty and smiling at Jhanvi.

"Good boy." Jhanvi said ruffling Rudra's hair.

"Where's Om?" Shivaay asked looking around to spot Omkara.

"Omkaraji didn't... "

"Achoooo..... " Omkara sneezed coming inside the home while blowing his nose wildly into the napkin making everyone look in his direction.

"I think I caught fever." Omkara stated throwing himself on the sofa and covering himself with the sofa cover.

Gauri slapped her forehead with her palm.

'Light of My Life' is the first story, I published and it's almost one year since then and I have a quick question for you all. It's almost reaching 70 and I have no plans to end it soon, but do you guys want me to split it up into two books or should I continue in the same book.
