Sahil's POV
We all walked towards the dining table for having breakfast. Mom came out of the kitchen wiping her hands.
" Mom, I am very hungry, what's in the breakfast? " I asked.
" Wait for two minutes... it's ready. "
Swati and Manu also came out of the kitchen with lots of food. Samar was so happy all of a sudden. But he is a certified foodie.
They placed all the things on the table. I checked, there were stuffed paranthas, sweet lassi, Upma and Shahi Zafrani sevaiyaan ( a sweet dish prepared with vermicelli flavoured with cardamom, saffron and dry fruits).
My mood lifted up. I pulled a chair and sat down.
" Wow !! Aunty, It is a feast... Thank God I came here at this time and that I have not had my breakfast. " Samar said rubbing his hands.
" You should not go to the office without eating beta." Mom said.
" Aunty, my dad eats a very light breakfast. Just milk and cereals. I find that very boring so I usually eat out. Some times my cook make breakfast for me but I prefer eating lots of variety. It is of no use to make elaborate breakfast for just one person. So I usually eat out. Nowadays Damini's parents are also at our place so the cook makes more food but I had some work in my office before the court opened at 10 AM so I left early and my work got finished early so thought of coming here. " Samar said.
" No need to eat out, eat with us. We have to make many things like all these people love to eat different things. So come here for the food. " Said, mom.
" Thanks, aunty, I would love to... Hmm... everything smells so good. "
" Which parantha is it mom? " Sagar asked.
"We have stuffed Gobhi parantha and Aaloo Parantha. " Sagar looked happy he liked Aaloo Parantha and I liked Gobhi. So mom made both types for both of us.
We started having food. It was a bit different than how mom usually makes them, but they were equally good, actually, they were awesome.
" Oh my god Aunty, paranthas are awesome. Very delicious... I have not had such paranthas, since my mom.." He got a bit serious. I know it was a touchy subject for him.
Mom touched his head lovingly.
" Hey !! Try this Samar, this lassi. " I said and he smiled and tried that.
" Swati and Manu, why are you eating Upma? Have Parantha... They are awesome? " Sagar asked and I saw that both of them were eating only Upma.
" No bhai we are on diet. " She said making a face while Manu smiled.
" What?? why?? " Sagar and Samar asked together.
" We need to look good at the wedding. " Swati said.
" What ?? But you look so good already. " Samar said and Sagar and I glared at him. He bent his head and started eating very fast.
" What is this nonsense? Stop this right now... " Sagar said.
" Bhai, even Damini bhabhi is following the same diet plan. " Swati said.
" What?? Have you all gone mad? I will talk to her. " Sagar said.
" No Bhai..."
" Shut up and eat properly... " I said scolding her.
" Bhai... "
" Eat this " I extended the parantha plate towards them. But Swati shook her head. I glared at her.
Swati and Manu exchanged the looks and then Manu nodded. Swati picked the aaloo parantha and cut it in two. And they both took half.
" Swati and Manu, eat properly or I am going to make you eat." Sagar was glaring at them.
" Bhai we are eating na.... "
