The way I used to live

Daksha's POV:-

It had been ten days since we got married. Those days, Arjun and I came close to one another. He was always so protective and caring towards me. My days passed with his usual teasing.

We both resumed our professional lives. Since today was the weekend, we both were at the house only.

Ammu went out to hang out with her friends. Attayya went to meet Sudha Aunty and my Mom. So, we both were alone at the house.

Arjun was studying his upcoming case. So, I was feeling bored. I went to the kitchen to pass my time by cooking something

I decided to make an apple pie and took out all the necessary ingredients. I prepared the dough for the crust and sliced the apples.

I prepared the sauce and took the rolling pin to roll out the bottom crust. After that, I took out the pie plate and arranged the crust on it.

I filled it with the apple and sauce mixture, and covered it with the dough strips in a woven lattice pattern over the top. After brushing the egg mixture over it, I kept it in the oven to let it bake.

Meanwhile, Arjun too came searching for me. After seeing me, he stood behind me and wound his arms around my waist while resting his head on my shoulder.

"What are you making?" he asked me.

"You will know it soon," I replied to him with a smile and leaned more into him. He too smiled in return.

"Wanna grab some coffee?" I asked him after a while to which he shook his head in denial.

Seeing the timer alarm go off, I came out of his embrace and went to take the pie out. After checking that the pie was baked perfectly, I let out a satisfactory laugh and placed it on a plate.

Again, I sensed his presence behind me. He looked at the pie for some time and asked me.

"Is it an American Pie.?" he asked with a teasing smile. I glared at him and smacked him hard.

"Geez! What's with you?" He asked me while rubbing the spot where I gave him a smack.

"What American Pie? Can't you think of another thing?" I asked him while scrunching my nose in disgust.

"Hahaha..what to do! That movie stirred quite a lot of commotion at that time," he told me after giving me an awkward smile.

"Gross," I spat at him and cut the pie into pieces with a pizza cutter. Seeing this, he stretched his hand to grab the pie but I slapped it away.

"You can't eat it right away. Let it cool down," I told him to which he rolled his eyes and stormed into the living room like a sulking child.

"This guy really got a sweet tooth," I thought in my mind and laughed at his antics.
