The way I used to live

chapter 29

Daksha's POV:

I asked Sarada Aunty about Arjun's favorite cuisines. She informed me that he likes South Indian and Italian cuisines. So, I spent the rest of my day thinking about what dishes to prepare.

I didn't send any reply to him. I knew that he would have been waiting for my reply but I wanted to say everything in person.

So, I planned a small dinner date(if it is considered as one) for the next day. I already had some dishes in my mind. With those thoughts, I drifted into a good night's sleep.

The next day, after I woke up, I hurriedly had my breakfast. After that, I rushed into the kitchen to see whether all the ingredients for the dishes were available or not. Fortunately, everything that I needed was present in the kitchen.

Till afternoon, I spent my time with Aaru and mom. I told them my idea and they agreed to it instantly while grinning widely.

After having lunch, I and Aarna headed to the kitchen. Even though I was good at cooking, I really sucked at baking. So, I asked Aarna to bake a cake for me as baking is her favorite pastime.

She decided to make a simple chocolate truffle cake and I agreed to it.

While she was busy doing her things, I started the preparation for my dishes. I decided to prepare Italian cuisine.

First, I started making the dough for the pasta, precisely heart beet ravioli pasta, and another dough for pasta sheets to prepare lasagna.

It is named like that because the pasta which we use for that dish will be in heart shape and it has beetroot powder as one of the ingredients. I prepared it and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, I started preparing the broth for Mushroom risotto. After the broth got ready, I headed with the further process of risotto by adding all the required ingredients. The mushroom risotto was ready.

I took the pink dough for pasta and cut them into heart-shaped ravioli. I also prepared pasta sheets for lasagna. As Aarna was baking the cake in an oven, I kept the pasta sheets aside and started preparing the pasta.

By the time I was done with the pasta, the cake was baked and Aarna was preparing the pipings and chocolate ganache for decorating it.

So, I took a casserole pan and placed the pasta sheets one by one by adding vegetables and paneer on each layer after applying the Ragù and sauces as a layer.

Finally, I added the cheese and put it in the oven to bake it. It would take another 25 minutes or so. I looked at the clock and saw that the time was nearly 4:30 pm.

After informing Aarna to keep an eye on the lasagna, I went to my room to freshen up.

After freshening up, I wore a simple salwar kameez and left my hair loose. When I went to the kitchen, Nom and Aarna had already packed everything into containers.

Mom even made carrot halwa after she got to know about it being one of his favorites. Mom asked one of the maids to place all the dishes carefully into my car.

Meanwhile, I messaged Arjun to know out about his whereabouts. I came to know that he was in The Empire Corporations along with his sister. So I headed there after bidding bye to my Mom and Aarna.

I reached there and after parking the car, I went towards the office. Wow! That was the only word that left my mouth after seeing the relatively grandiose view of the skyscraper from the outside.

I went inside and stood in the waiting area to call him. I told him that I was in his office and I asked him to come down. At first, he was surprised a little, nonetheless, he came to the first floor.

I saw him coming towards me along with a beautiful girl, probably his sister. Before I could greet them, I was attacked with a bone-crushing hug by that girl.

I got to see you. Woah, Vadhina(sis in law)...you are so beautiful. My brother is so lucky to get you,"
