My Tomboy Girlfriend

Chapter 24

"Cooking isn't as difficult as I thought it is." Gauri said to herself watching the cooking videos on her mobile.

"I will start cooking now and will show to Bua, what Gauri Sharma is capable of." Gauri said rubbing her nose with the pad of her thumb.

"Yes. Yes, the same file, refer it thoroughly and make important notes." Omkara spoke in his phone as he walked out of the elevator.

"I want that file to be all ready by tomorrow morning, Mr. Shastri." He said balancing his phone between his neck and shoulder trying to unlock his apartment door.

"Fine." Omkara said disconnecting the call and opening his door.

"Omkara." Gauri called standing in front of her apartment door with a spatula in her hand.

Omkara raised his brow in surprise turning around to look at Gauri.

"What?" He asked in his usual irritated voice.

"I am preparing dinner, I thought of inviting you to have food." Gauri said looking at Omkara.

Omkara thought for a minute.

"Free food, sounds good." Omkara thought, "I don't even have to wait for the pizza delivery guy to deliver food and can save money too."

"Mmm... Since you are requesting, I will join you." Omkara said with an attitude.

"Thank you, I will go and arrange the table." Gauri said smiling and ran into her apartment.

Omkara changed into his pyjamas after having a shower and walked inside Gauri's apartment.

"Omkara, please be seated, the food is almost finished." Gauri said standing in the open kitchen with flour smeared on her face.

Omkara walked towards the kitchen.

"What are you cooking for dinner?" He asked leaning against the kitchen door.

"I made Aloo Paranta and this Veg pulao." Gauri said pointing towards the vessel on the stove.  

"5 minutes and it will be done." Gauri said smiling and looking into her mobile to follow the recipe.

"Now add one tablespoon Cumin seeds." The recipe video said.

"Cumin seeds." Gauri thought for a second and added Fennel seeds into the pan.

"It said add Cumin seeds!" Omkara said.

"Yes and This is Cumin seeds, see." Gauri said showing the fennel seeds.

"That's fennel seeds." Omkara said exasperated.

"Mmm" Gauri said looking at the fennel seeds and the Cumin seeds the lady was showing in the video. "But they look the same." Gauri shrugged.

Omkara shook his head as he felt a headache coming.

"Move aside." Omkara said walking towards the stove pushing Gauri with his hip. "Let me correct it." He said opening the lid and was shocked looking at the food Gauri prepared.

All burnt spices and vegetables, half cooked rice blessed his vision as soon as he opened the lid, he took a spoon and slightly tasted the rice and immediately regretted as he tasted nothing but Salt.

He looked towards Gauri, who was waiting for his reaction with hopeful eyes.

"How's that Omkara? Did that tasted good?" Gauri asked with a child like excitement.
