1515 Words
In the morning I start my usual routine then I walk into the kitchen for preparing the usual breakfast but I was shocked to see my mother in law already there. From the moment I  have taken the responsibility of kitchen she never ever has set foot in here. I am the sole responsible for every dishes and its making. “Good morning mom.” “Hmm”  Well that’s the usual reply I get every morning so nothing unusual. I  started preparing pancakes with a little bit of twist that I want to experiment for a while. I  have always noticed that Adi always liked chocolate food more so I just added a little bit of chocolate and a bit less sugar. I started doing it as I know his usual time to go to his restaurant is early nearly 8 A.M. so I want to prepare it before it so that he could enjoy the food that I have prepared by my hand. I have had from my friends I am an expert in cooking as it usually take my mind from everything and I have a habit of experimenting with it. I get easily bored with things so experimenting with it keep me interested and the one eat it also have different flavors to it. So it a win win situation for everyone. “Good morning mom. Is breakfast ready? I have a very important meeting this morning I have to early.” said Adi while taking seat in the dining table. “Yes beeta it’s ready. As you have told me yesterday I have prepared it today a bit early.” Mom replied. Mom walked into the kitchen and take out the chicken from the oven. Taking it out in a bowl and paring with it some rooti mom took it towards Adi. Adi started eating it and I hurriedly want to finish my dish. For about another some minutes it should have been perfect but Adi is a fast eater when he has some important work. Not wanting him to leave without tasting my food I hurriedly serve it and took towards Adi. “What is this?” “Pancakes” “But why does it look like this.” “Nothing I just tried something different today.” “Is it even edible?” “Try it, it will taste better.”  I said with a smile. Adi took a piece hesitating and really he looked kind of cute like this. This site is hard to see as he too knows my food could taste better someday. “What the f**k is this?” Adi spit it into his plate angrily and threw it across the wall. “If you can’t make food no one is insisting you to cook. You should have learnt it from your house how to cook. No need for you to experiment anything here. It is not a lab for you to experiment anything”, spat Adi angrily at me and went away towards garage. I stood there shockingly. How could he do this to me? How could he behave in such a way? “At least you should make food that could be eatable. My son went away without even eating anything. The first duty of a wife is to see whether husband is eaten or not but you are……”said mom angrily while moving out of the dining hall. I walk towards the broken plate to pick up the pieces. I even do not know how or what just happened. My eyes are filled with tears but I refused to cry in front of anyone else. The servants too went away to throw work. I cannot understand what I did wrong for him to insult me like this in front of everyone. How could he do this to me and mom? She too. I picked up the plate and threw it into the dustbin. After that I again started to make it and other things so that others could have their breakfast. I have noticed earlier some days after marriage the servants used to help me to make breakfast and that too I just have to make breakfast of only family but now I have to make breakfast of every servants too. I do not mind much earlier because I love cooking but now I get some weird glances from some servants. I do not know what their eyes says but I do not feel comfortable in it. Some even whispered things among them and as soon as I reach them it’s all over. I have even marked some of the old servants are dismissed. The servants and everything in the house are being controlled by my mother in law even if I ask her about this thing she never answer me instead she just dismissed these questions in some other talks. I don’t know why these all things mattered to me now when before I don’t even think about these. Maybe because I was so much into Adi that I don’t even see what is happening around me. After finishing the food I take all the dishes outside for breakfast. Mom and dad have already taken their seats and started eating while I was busy with cleaning the kitchen. Actuelly I forgot to mention all the old servants that are fired are from kitchen only. While I was about to take a sit and start my breakfast dad came out from the washroom after washing his hands. “Beeta my some friends are coming today for lunch today please prepare something delicious for them. They wanted to come during your wedding but could not attend it due to some problems.” “Okay dad I will prepare something. But how many are coming today.” “About fifteen”, said mom while she finished her breakfast and went to wash her hands. “And beeta do not do any kind of experiment. They are very important ones of our business world so why don’t you do everything asking your mom. You know she is a great cook. I used to love her cooking in my youth days.” “Yes dad I will.”     “Then beeta I will leave for office now.” I smiled and about to take one bite of food when mom entered. “Riya you are still eating beeta our guest will be here in about three hours how will you finish everything till then.” “Don’t worry mom I will finish it.” “No no beeta don’t sit here and waste time. You have to make at least ten dishes and two desert for them. And the ingredients I have already said to some servants to bring them to you and the list of dishes to make I have already kept it on fridge you will make according to it. And beeta please hurry I will have to go to some of my friend’s house to check upon their health. She called me today. If it wasn’t important then I would have helped you” “No no mom you go to your friend house. I will manage everything here” “Okay beeta thanks.” She was about to walk away from the dinning when “And beeta don’t waste time by sitting here its already 11 o’clock. If you still seat here everything will again be like this morning.” I was shocked to hear that. If it is so bad then how did you have it just now? “Okay mom I am going to do that”. “And Riya today the laundry servant is also absent. Would you manage to do everything by yourself by lunch?” “But mom ….. “It’s okay Riya we too used to do all those chores by our self when we are young now a days youngsters are more lazy and don’t want to do anything by their own. They only want to depend on their servants for every work. Don’t worry I will say someone else to do it. But today guest will be there if something will be out of place then Adi will be again angry.” “Don’t worry mom I will do everything.” “Okay Riya”. I started to do the laundry first then I thought to do the cooking. I was actually a bit of hungry as I have to wake up early at dawn and doing too all those work are taking a toll on me. But I am not minding all those things as Adi will be there to feed me in his hands when he will get to know that I have not eaten anything from morning and too prepare all those amazing dishes by myself. A small smile spread across my lips thinking the way Adi will feed me lovingly and scolding too a bit for not taking care of me. I miss that side of Adi when he used to make me feel his world. “Riya everything is finished na. They will be here any minute”. “Yes mom everything is over.” I don’t even know when mom appeared and when time passed so quickly. “Riya I will prepare the dining table. Why don’t you go and wash yourself, you are a bit sweaty. And our guest too will arrive soon.” “Okay mom then you handle everything now I will just go and shower.” Mom kind of looked happy too now. I don’t know whom she had visited today but thank god at least she is happy now. And I just hope my food will be amazing today.
