The next morning palace echoed with the voices of the people who are to make the shahi bhoj for the brahmans. Both were given separate kitchens to prepare.
Sanyu decided to make dal baati churma with some kheer.
Pari decided to make aaloo poori with halwa and paalak paneer. She had an upper hand in cooking as she is used to such huge gatherings preparation.

Sanyukta was in her kitchen with the helpers. They were preparing daal while she was ready to knead the dough.
She started pouring water and what seems like a tsunami of water in dough she stopped and looked at the muddy looking thing. From her hand she lifted it and it flowed like water...

S: thoda sa dough or daalti hun.

She put in more dough but it poured in huge quantity again.

S: urghhh!!! Aaj hi hona hai bhaii tu hojaa na tujhe dekh fir bilkul round katungi pkka promise... She pinched her throat as if that non looking thing will listen to her...

Someone caged her waist from behind and rested his head in the crook of her neck. She knew who it was and she relaxed in his embrace.

S: ye ho hi ni rha hai...

Rd: ab hoga.
With this he put his hand with her in the dough and started kneading it. They successfully completed the kneading and heaved a sigh of relief.

Guru barged in the kitchen.

G: kuch kuch hota hai Sanyukta tum nhi samjhogi....
Kyu bhaiii.... Kya hum galat wakt par aaye hain??

Rd: aakar pooch rhe hain idiot kabaab me haddi.....Rd gritted his teeth but faked a smile at him.

Rd: aap jaaiye or apni hone waali saali ki help kariye naa yahaan bahut log hain.

G: koi ni bhai yaad rakhna ye aap.

He went out and Randhir helped her in making the dishes. Obviously no one knew this except helpers who were shut by Randhir. Renuka was away to bring the Brahmans.

S: kunwar hokar aap cooking bhi jaante hain. Not bad mere liye shadi ke baad easy hoga.

Rd: jaanta nhi tha madam. Kal raat baith kar learn kiya aapke liye. Aapko to chinta nhi thi par hume to thi.

S: awww my kunwar ji cutest.
She pulled his cheeks.

Rd: focus yrr.

The food got served. The Brahmans were enjoying while the makers were hell nervous. Renuka was also worried as in nothing should go wrong.
Children were sitting in their room.

S: Pari tumne kya banaya??

Everybody looked at her in shock. Sanyukta can never be rude to anyone who hasn't done anything wrong so it wasn't a great thing to strike a convo with Pari.

Pari told her what she made. Though she was least interested to talk to Sanyu.

Someone came and announced that they are called down and the Brahmans have left.

Everybody hurried downstairs and what they saw made them totally confuse.
Renuka was smiling wide looking at them.
