Chapter 30 - Khushi Learning Authentic Recipes from Anjali!

"Oh god Di, I am trying to wrap up but I might get late... Why don't you all eat and I will join in an hour...?" Khushi was upset with herself... She asked Anjali Di to teach her Rajasthan style Daal and when Di has kept everything ready to make it with Khushi, Khushi got late...

"No problem Khushi, don't worry... I will make half of it and keep half for when you come... We will then make it together..." Anjali is very understanding and always treated Khushi like her just like her Chote...

Arnav could see his Di's disappointed face though...

"Nothing Chote... I was just so excited to cook with Khushi... But never mind she should be back in an hour... She asked all of us to go ahead and have lunch..." Anjali was whining already missing Khushi...

"Di, give me half an hour and I will come down for lunch... Let me finish a call and come Arnav suggested and went upstairs to his room...

"Khushi, Di is waiting for you. Can you make it home as soon as possible?" Arnav texted Khushi...

"Yes Arnav, I know... I already feel so bad about it... And I will try to finish as soon as possible and reach home... But I still might take an hour. Please don't wait for me and have lunch" Khushi messaged him back immediately...

Arnav didn't like her response and felt restless and angry for making his Di wait... Though he knew Khushi must be stuck...

"Make it as soon as possible... Di is looking forward to cook with you" Arnav replied...

In the meantime, HP served lunch and Anjali forced Arnav also to eat...

"Chote come on, it's her work... She will come as soon as possible... Eat now..." Anjali watched Arnav playing with his food...

"Di, this Daal is awesome... Just like how Mamma used to make it... I miss her so much" Arnav whispered as soon as he put the first spoon of Daal in his mouth...

"Me too... She was such a wonderful cook and human being... Khushi is so much like her..." Anjali couldn't help but comment...

"Anjali, I told you Khushi is a gem... She is my darling..." Nani mentioned proudly... She was proud of her choice for her Chote...

"You know what Chote, I have a feeling Nani no longer loves you or me or even NK... She only loves Khushi... Khushi yeh, Khushi woh" Anjali teased Nani trying to make the atmosphere light...

"I agree with you Di... Thank god you are here now... Otherwise Nani, NK and Khushi are always one team and ignore me completely... What can I tell you? My poor soul" Arnav exaggerated and teased Nani further...

"Yeah, you are boring bro, you only know to work... Not our fault, isn't it Nani?" NK teased him back...

"Chote, it's not our mistake... Khushi, I and NK know how to live life and we are so much fun together, a rocking team... I am sure we can take Anjali in... But not so sure about you..." Nani was not behind either teasing her grandson...

"Yeah, you bet... I know you all will conspire against me... But I will make sure to take my wife and run away from you all... She spends way too much time with you all ignoring me..." Arnav just got angry and replied without thinking...

"I can trust you Chote... And look who is getting so possessive about his wife..." Nani caught Arnav red handed and they all laughed whole heartedly teasing him... Not every day they get a chance to trouble him like this...

"Who is possessive Nani and about what?" Just then Khushi walked in and asked Nani... They all could guess she heard little of their conversation while walking in...

Arnav was worried Nani will spill the bean...

"Khushi, nothing... We all feeling so possessive about Sonia, we were talking about her..." Arnav changed topic and everyone rolled their eyes smiling...

"I am most possessive about her... Now that I am home, it's my time with her..." Khushi took Sonia in her arms and walked to their room...

"You came so late Khushi, Di waited for so long..." Arnav was still little grumpy...

"I wasn't aware of today's heavy schedule well and couldn't come early... I will rush now... Can you please bring Sonia down?" Khushi ran downstairs...

"Di, I am so sorry for being late... I had so much work and could not just come back early... But Di, I could smell your Daal outside so I can see how great a cook you are..." Khushi side hugged Anjali and kissed her o cheek...

"Come on Khushi, its ok... Don't worry" Anjali was very calm...

Just the Arnav came down carrying Sonia and saw Khushi apologizing to his sister and buttering up his Di cutely like a child...

"Come on, let's start making Daal Di, I am so hungry... In fact I am starving..." Khushi could feel her stomach growling too often to ignore now...

"What? Didn't you eat lunch yet? Why? I thought you always eat and try dishes after you make them?" Anjali asked surprised...

"But why would I do that today? I mean when you are taking time to teach me mamma's special Daal, why would I eat there?" Khushi replied...

"Oh no Khushi, first let me serve you lunch... It's almost 3 pm now... Then you can learn. You are crazy not to eat lunch till now..." Anjali immediately served her lunch and forced her to eat first... Anjali really loved Khushi a little more realizing how she takes efforts and provides attention to small things to make others happy... How caring and thoughtful she is, Anjali thought...

Arnav fell in love with his wife a little more seeing her showing so much respect, care and love for every family member...

Khushi finished her lunch while talking with Di... Just then she got a call...

"Ha Babuji, I will come tomorrow evening to learn those three desserts... You can send me recording of today's prep session... Ask Amma to add her special comments while recording... Love you too" Khushi finished her call and went in the kitchen with his Di...

That's when Arnav remembered he had been to Khushi's house only once for dinner and what a blunder he did...

He went there not only late, but like a fool after having his dinner with his client! He was called there for dinner and Khushi's mom had been cooking variety of dishes since morning... How stupid I can be? What was I thinking? No wonder she was complaining to her Devi Mayya... What the? How could I be so self-centered? Arnav felt disgusted remembering his own behavior...

"Yes, I will be there for dinner tomorrow when I come with Khushi... That is, if you don't mind auntie... but don't tell Khushi anything about it..." Arnav called Khushi's mom and requested...

"Of course Arnav beta, come over... This is your house too and you can come anytime. We will be really happy" Garima invited Arnav whole heartedly...

"Arnav, I will go with driver... Don't worry, I will manage..." Khushi was surprised Arnav coming to drop her...

"It's ok Khushi, let's go..." Arnav insisted. He picked up a flower bouquet and fruits for her family...

Khushi was surprised to see her mom made variety of dishes for dinner... Khushi was worried if Arnav will stay back... She knew her parents will be truly disappointed again if Arnav skips the dinner just like last time...

"Khushi don't worry. Arnav is staying for dinner..." Garima told her.

"How do you know?" Khushi was curious...

"He told me over phone yesterday that he will join you for dinner..." Garima explained...

Khushi was surprised he planned it behind her back... She was more than happy seeing his efforts to mingle with her parents...

"Auntie, no wonder Khushi is a great cook... She has learned a lot from you... But you cook much better..." Arnav teased Khushi...

"So does your dad Khushi, he does make the best sweets!" Arnav openly praised their cooking skills.

"I am glad you liked the food and sweets Arnav..." Shashi and Garima were more than happy to see Arnav talking to them and teasing Khushi... They could see their daughter happy in her married life and her face glowing... Last time she came with him, she rather looked lost and angry...

They looked at each other satisfied... Khushi could see her parents faces lit up with happiness, their happiness meant world to her!

"Arnav, what you did today means a lot to me... I owe you big time... My parents are so happy that you visited them for dinner and spent time with them" Khushi thanked Arnav as soon as she hopped in the car to go home...

"Khushi, please don't embarrass me than I already am. This was due long ago. And your parents are family and I can visit them anytime..." Arnav concluded and drove back to RM.

Arnav learning to respect others feelings .. loved it
