Ahaan- maa aap woh khichadi banati thi na jab main bimar padta tha toh aap uski recipe bata sakti ho kya please...

Savitri- Ahaan tu bimar hai kya? Sach sach bol.

Ahaan- maa maa calm down, main thik hu bas woh khichadi khane ka mann hua toh puch liya.

Savitri- aree waah tu khana banayega.

Ahaan- ha maa, ek kaam karte hai aap mujhe recipe batate jaiye main khichadi banata hu...

Savitri- accha sunn...

Savitri started giving him instructions while Ahaan followed them. The cooking session was filled with giggles, instructions and some taunts from Savitri. Finally after a good amount of time Ahaan made khichadi. He took some in spoon and tasted it...

Ahaan- oh my god!! Maa it's awesome, yeh bilkul aapke haath ki khichadi jaise taste kar rahi hai. Okay maa ab mujhe jaana padega but thank you and I love you...

Ahaan quickly packed khichadi and then started driving towards Ishqi's house...

*  *  *  *  *

Ishqi was in living room, in her sweatshirt and sweatpants, talking with her sibling while her headache was now a bit better yet she still felt a little weak...

Raj- di aap pakka thik ho na, you sure?

Ishqi- ha Raj main thik hu.

Aisha- bhai thik hi hongi aakhir inki care karne ke liye waha unke hero jo hai.

Ishqi- ek aur baar chidhaya toh main phone kaat rahi hu.

Aisha- uffo yeh sab chodo aur batao aap drunk huye the na toh fir aaone kya kiya drunk hoke?

Ishqi- woh toh mujhe bhi dhang se nahi pata, mujhe Ahaan se puchna padega.

Aisha- kaash main waha hoti, mujhe dekhna hai aap drunk hoke kya karte ho.

Ishqi- chup hoja meri maa.

Aisha- di I think...

Ishqi- nahi, teri conspiracy theory sunne mein koi interest nahi hai.

Aisha- di please, bhai bolo na.

Raj- di sunlo.

Ishqi- fine boliye maate.

Aisha- I think you like him...or atleast he like you...

Ishqi- see, issi wajahse main tujhe mana kar rahi thi, Aisha please aapni bakwaas band kar...

Aisha- di come on, woh aapke co-actor hai and as a co-actor unhe toh bas aapko ghar drop karke chale jaana chahiye tha par nahi woh ruke, he handled you, unhone aapka dhyaan rakha. Dusre din jab aapko bhukar aaya toh aapka khayal bhi rakha. Don't you think he likes you? Aur toh aur aapne hi kaha na abhi ke jab aapko mom ki yaad aayi tab unhone aapko comfort karne ke liye aapko hug kiya aur aapne kuch bola bhi nahi. Don't you think you too like him?

Ishqi- Aisha first of all maine Ahaan ko kuch issliye nahi kaha kyuki, he was just sweet, ha mana main usually usse bohot roast karti hu, daanti hu par uss wakt maine kuch issliye nahi kaha kyuki shayad...shayad...I don't know...

Aisha- kyuki shayad, you liked it, you liked him comforting you...

Before anyone could say anything else, door bell rang...

Ishqi- darwaze pe koi hai main baadme baat karti hu...bye...

Ishqi hanged the call and then opened the door only to find Ahaan...

Ishqi- Ahaan tum yaha woh bhi iss wakt?

Ahaan- tum pehele mujhe yeh batao agar tumhari tabiyat thik nahi thi toh mujhe bataya kyu nahi?

Ishqi- meri tabiyat kharab nahi hui bas thoda sar dard tha, aur main itni si baat ka dhindora kyu pitu?

Ahaan- tumse na behes karne mein koi point nahi hai.

Ishqi- toh kyu karte ho behes? Anyways andar aao na.

Ahaan entered the house...

Ishqi- waise iss wakt kyu aaye?

Ahaan- maine tumhare liye kuch laya hai.

Ishqi- kya?

Ahaan- aise nahi bataunga, sidha dikhaunga.

Without waiting for Ishqi's reply Ahaan went directly in kitchen, before Ishqi could follow he said...

Ahaan- don't follow me!!

Ishqi unwillingly sat on the sofa, waiting for Ahaan. After a while, he came holding two plates of khichadi...

Ishqi- tumhe L.A mein khichadi kaha se mili?

Ishqi said being amused while Ahaan sat near her, keeping the plates on table...

Ahaan- maine order nahi kiya hai, khud banaya hai.

Ishqi- ohh toh pakka khane layak hai?

Ahaan- meri maa ne mujhe recipe di hai ussi se banayi hai aur meri maa duniya ki best khichadi banati hai, toh madam please chup chap khana shuru kijiye.

Ishqi remembered the time when she used to tell her mom the same thing, how she used to feed her whenever she was ill...

Flashback...

"Maa aap na duniya ki best khichadi  banati ho, mann toh karta hai main bas bimar hi rahu isse atleast aapke haath ki khichadi toh kha sakti hu woh bhi aapke haath se..."

Ishqi said as her mother, Ishwari fed her a bite of khichadi...

Ishwari (Ishqi's Mom) - pagal!! Aise nahi bolte, agar tujhe khichadi khani hai toh main tere liye banaungi...

Ishqi- specially mere liye?? Kyuki main aapki favorite hu?

Ishwari- ha ha specially tere liye kyuki tu meri favorite hai...

Ishqi-dekha Raj aur Aisha main mumma ki favorite hu...

Ishqi hugged her mother as she teased her siblings... 

Flashback Ends... 

"Ishqi!! Ishqi!!"

Ahaan shouted as he tried to break Ishqi's trance...

Ishqi- huh...kya hua?

Ahaan- kaha kho gayi? Khichadi thandi ho rahi hai, ek minute...

Ahaan took some khichadi in spoon and then took the spoon to Ishqi's mouth. Ishqi firstly hesitated but then took the bite and smiled widely...

They both soon started eating together while talking, laughing, even a bit roasting and singing in not so melodious voice...

Ishqi felt way better than how she felt when she woke up today. They kept talking for what seem like a few minutes but in reality were a few hours...

Ahaan- Ishqi bohot der hogayi hai main chalta hu.

Ishqi- ok dhyaan se jana kahi raste mein gaadi thok mat dena.

Ahaan- yeh joke tha??

Ishqi- nahi seriously bol rahi hu.

Ishqi laughed. They bid adieu to each other as Ahaan left. Ishqi closed the door and went to her room, slumped on the bed being really tired yet happy. She kept thinking about her day, how eventful it was, but then a thought crossed her mind...

"Maine avm ko pucha hi nahi ke maine kal kya karnama kiya...Chod na Ishqi agar kuch bada kiya hota toh usne bata hi diya hota, nahi bataya matlab kuch khaas nahi hua hoga..."

Ishqi soon went in slumber, still thinking about her day, well mostly about Ahaan, soon her lips curled up in a smile, thinking about all the moments they spent together today...
