THE DRAMATIC LOVE AND HATRED

Chapter - 26 - Steev's Breakfast Idea

Steev's POV :

I started pouring the dosa batter into the pan and started preparing the dosa.

I was not able to figure out how to make the exact round shape of the dosa, but I did not want to give up that's why I kept trying. The dosa was coming out  with different shapes. I tried to make round shape but I failed but I did not want to give up that's why I was going on trying to make it round in shape. At first few dosas did not turn up to be round in shape. It was looking like some map, but that was normal for anyone who is just a beginner in cooking. Especially dishes like dosa, then after 5 to 6 tries the 7th dosa came in round shape. It was a happy moment to see that the shape of dosa was around. My confidence got boosted and I went on preparing five more dosas and it was in good round shape. Altogether I prepared 12 dosas in which 5 were in round shape and others were bit weird. But that was completely okay.

 I finished preparing dosa and chutney for our breakfast. So I kept it aside and went out of the kitchen and sat down waiting for John to come out from the shower, so that we can have our breakfast together. After 2 minutes John came out from the washroom taking a hot water shower. He asked me, “Steev is the breakfast ready? I am very excited to have it today.” “Yes John, it is ready.”, I replied happily and said, “Come on let's have our breakfast.”

“Yes sure, Steev.”, replied John. I went to the kitchen and brought dosa and chutney and kept on the floor as we sit on the floor and have our food. Because we did not have any dining table or any other table. We both sat together and I served him two round dosas with chutney. He looked at the remaining dosas which I had prepared, whose shapes were very weird. He saw them and started laughing. “Wow you have prepared maps as well.”, he said. “Yes John! as it was my first time I could not make the dosas round in shape at the beginning. But I continuously tried and later on the dosa starting getting around.”, I replied to John. “That's really great, Steve.”, John replied. “You know what! I prepared dosa and chutney with the help of my mobile phone today. As well as I browsed some videos and studied how to cook dosa and chutney. I thought of preparing today’s breakfast from my side. Today morning I felt very fresh and I woke up before you that's why I thought of preparing breakfast for us. Isn’t this a good idea John?”, I asked him.

Yes! It is really amazing idea. I am really proud of you and happy I am really happy to see the progress that is taking place within you. You didn't ask me how the taste is..”, John asked me. “Yes, John please tell me how is the taste of dosa and chutney. Actually I was waiting for your reply I know you will understand what I'm thinking even before me expressing it, that's why I was just waiting for your reply.”, I said and giggled. “Oh Oh nice..  you have become really very smart Steev..”, Said John. “Yes my brother thank you for your compliment and now please reply how was the taste.”, I said. “Yes this is really amazing I loved it, it was the first time but still it looks like some expert cook has cooked this. I am not joking I swear it's the truth.”, John appreciated me. “Why didn't you taste it, please taste it and you too will understand how yummy this dish is.”, John said happily. After listening to his positive comments I was very happy and my confidence boosted. I too took a dosa and chutney and tasted it and yes John was right the taste was really amazing. I was not able to believe that this dish was prepared by me, and that too it was my first time and the dish was really very tasty. But I wanted to share this dish with Shika but I was not able to share with Shika as it will be too silly of me to go and give each and every small dish I prepared to her house. I would love to go to her house and share her each and everything I prepared but it was not possible it would not look good to always go there for silly reasons.

 I was sure none of them would mind or don't judge me but yet I myself did not feel comfortable in doing such thing. If I was Shika’s life partner then definitely I could do such things and I would never get scared of getting judged or any other things. But until that takes place I need to be careful and alert, I thought by myself.
