Chapter 9
Sahil's POV
We all walked towards the dining table for having breakfast. Mom came out of the kitchen wiping her
hands.
" Mom, I am very hungry, what's in the breakfast? " I asked.
" Wait for two minutes... it's ready. "
Swati and Manu also came out of the kitchen with lots of food. Samar was so happy all of a sudden.
But he is a certified foodie.
They placed all the things on the table. I checked, there were stuffed paranthas, sweet lassi, Upma
and Shahi Zafrani sevaiyaan ( a sweet dish prepared with vermicelli flavoured with cardamom, saffron
and dry fruits).
My mood lifted up. I pulled a chair and sat down.
" Wow !! Aunty, It is a feast... Thank God I came here at this time and that I have not had my breakfast.
" Samar said rubbing his hands.
" You should not go to the office without eating beta." Mom said.
" Aunty, my dad eats a very light breakfast. Just milk and cereals. I find that very boring so I usually eat
out. Some times my cook make breakfast for me but I prefer eating lots of variety. It is of no use to
make elaborate breakfast for just one person. So I usually eat out. Nowadays Damini's parents are also
at our place so the cook makes more food but I had some work in my office before the court opened at
10 AM so I left early and my work got finished early so thought of coming here. " Samar said.
" No need to eat out, eat with us. We have to make many things like all these people love to eat
different things. So come here for the food. " Said, mom.
" Thanks, aunty, I would love to... Hmm... everything smells so good. "
" Which parantha is it mom? " Sagar asked.
"We have stuffed Gobhi parantha and Aaloo Parantha. " Sagar looked happy he liked Aaloo Parantha
and I liked Gobhi. So mom made both types for both of us.
We started having food. It was a bit different than how mom usually makes them, but they were equally
good, actually, they were awesome.
" Oh my god Aunty, paranthas are awesome. Very delicious... I have not had such paranthas, since my
mom.." He got a bit serious. I know it was a touchy subject for him.
Mom touched his head lovingly.
" Hey !! Try this Samar, this lassi. " I said and he smiled and tried that.
" Swati and Manu, why are you eating Upma? Have Parantha... They are awesome? " Sagar asked
and I saw that both of them were eating only Upma.
" No bhai we are on diet. " She said making a face while Manu smiled.
" What?? why?? " Sagar and Samar asked together.
" We need to look good at the wedding. " Swati said.
" What ?? But you look so good already. " Samar said and Sagar and I glared at him. He bent his head
and started eating very fast.
" What is this nonsense? Stop this right now... " Sagar said.
" Bhai, even Damini bhabhi is following the same diet plan. " Swati said.
" What?? Have you all gone mad? I will talk to her. " Sagar said.
" No Bhai..."
" Shut up and eat properly... " I said scolding her.
" Bhai... "
" Eat this " I extended the parantha plate towards them. But Swati shook her head. I glared at her.
Swati and Manu exchanged the looks and then Manu nodded. Swati picked the aaloo parantha and
cut it in two. And they both took half.
" Swati and Manu, eat properly or I am going to make you eat." Sagar was glaring at them.
" Bhai we are eating na.... "
" Half a parantha? Like seriously? I can eat 4 like this?" Samar said and both the girls looked shocked.
" Take more... " I said.
" No Bhai... Why are you all fussing over us? "
" Shut up and eat. They are amazing... Try Gobhi parantha, it is awesome. " I said and they smiled at
each another again they took 1 parantha and shared it.
" Silly girls.. why diet when you have so many good things in the world, which you could enjoy. You
should eat more. " Samar said enjoying his food.
" Silly girls.... hnh... Samar Ji?? " Swati said while both the girls narrowed their eyes at him.
" Oh, I mean... The other girls who diet... " he said with a smile.
Idiot...
" Wow !! This sweet dish is really awesome. Amazing way of starting the day. Try Sahil. Aunty this is
really very tasty. You are too good. Can I hug you, please? " Samar said and mom just smiled. Samar
hugged her and she patted his back.
I took some of it in a bowl and so did Sagar. We tried and we both moaned at the same time.
" Wow!! Mom, why did you never make this before? " Sagar asked.
" Because I didn't make it today also. Everything was prepared by Manu and Swati helped her."
" What?? Sagar and Samar said together and we all were shocked and looking at mom and Manu.
Did she make all these things? She smiled very faintly. A very light blush was creeping up into her face.
" Seriously?? " Samar asked and Swati nodded.
" Wow, Manu !! Everything was just awesome... But please, can I make a request? Please don't tell all
this to Damini... " Sagar said very seriously and I could see that scared expression on his face.
" Why ?? " Samar and Swati asked. Mom and Manu looked confused and I burst out laughing.
" What?? It is not funny Sahil..." Sagar said to me.
" It is... You know last time Sagar praised Maurvi's cooking so much that Damini also tried cooking
some pasta for him and almost burnt the kitchen. " I was grinning while telling all that and Samar was
laughing holding his stomach. Mom and Manu were smiling while Swati was also laughing.
She looked very pretty whenever she smiled...
We finished our breakfast and went to my room to get ready. I got ready and left for the office.
But Sagar was being very adamant. He said he would talk to dad and dad would not be angry at me
but I knew exactly what was going to happen. He would ask me about the girl and I would not have any
answer.
Sagar literally dragged me home. Dad came around 2 PM. There was so much excitement in mom and
Swati. Swati ran into his arms. He hugged her very tightly. They had always been very close.
Dad hugged mom and then embraced Sagar and congratulated him and said,
" Sagar you are going to get married very soon, that means you are going to start a family of yours. So Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
your wife is now your responsibility. You have to protect her, take care of her and give her unconditional
love. You need to be more responsible. She must always be happy. Marriage comes with responsibility
and you can't run away from it. I hope you will understand that and will take very good care of her and
treasure her for the rest of your life. "
" Yes, dad... I will, I promise. Sagar said. Dad looked at me but I could not look into his eyes. As I knew
I did not know the answers to those questions he wanted to ask. I didn't know what would I say. But
mercifully he didn't say anything just embraced me for a few seconds.
Though he didn't say anything but the tension was so thick that it could easily be cut with a knife.

Manyata's POV
I made breakfast with Swati. We enjoyed cooking together. I was really happy that everyone loved the
food.
Swati kept laughing and said,
" These men are so funny asking us to try the food prepared by us only. " We laughed again.
I and Swati helped aunty in making uncle's favourite food. We all were waiting for him to come.
Sagar Ji called me up to say that he has already talked to uncle. He would not tell anything to Sahil. I
was also supposed to behave as If I was meeting him for the first time.
