Chapter 38
Finally tomorrow is the Christmas Eve. And I would be helping mom with it. Nikki was really good at slacking her days since the winter holidays begun. I on the other hand I was happy to learn and help mom bake a Christmas Cake.
Lacy went with her parents to Paris for few days for a vacation. And Gray was playing video games at home. Stephen, Alex and his team had gone to a nearby small town to celebrate their freedom with the college friends. Sky umm very difficult to guess what was he doing or will be doing. He has always been a mystery and rarely shares. But I can guess some. Either watching Netflix shows and spending time reading some books or playing and watching cricket. But after that day several days pa.s.sed but I couldn't contact him further. Actually I didn't try to contact him because everytime taking the initiative is not just. It is said, " The people who feels you are important will contact you no matter what. One don't need excuses to contact them. "
Inspired from Lacy's status and posts of course.
Finally getting to cake baking. I helped in sieving the flour and then helped in mixing other ingredients carefully to prevent lumps. I particularly partic.i.p.ated in whisking the batter since I have strength and know to do that carefully thanks to my great body which is weighing much lately. I guess I should start exercising. My weight is really at an alarming concern and the main culprit that I don't look matching with Sky.
The citrus and fruity flavor from the batter was really amazing. Mom preheated the oven. Then I carefully placed the batter in the bowl. Finally the cake was set in convection mode for 35 minutes.
I was keenly waiting for it when mom told me to go back to practice sums. I was disheartened. I seriously didn't want to practice for the first time. I wanted to see the cake bake since I laid my hand on it. By 30 minutes it gave fruity aroma of the baked one and by 35 minutes it was completely baked to a fluffy and crispy fruit Christmas cake.
Mom put the knife through the cake to check whether it was fully baked from inside or not. Finally mom confirmed it and I was happy. Nikki came at the correct moment. She was telling, " Can I taste a bit? "
"You know I am good at judging"
I replied, " Yeah bake another and taste it Miss Master Chef "
Mom chuckled..
But the cake was kept in the refrigerator for tomorrow's Christmas Eve.
But tomorrow I really wish to Wish Sky particularly. I want to wish everyone but want to chat with him particularly. Although I don't believe in Santa Claus but I really want him to make him my special friend. I might be a bit too greedy but really if I had to believe in the myth so be it!
I'm ready to wait till 12'o clock to wish everyone and him.
Mom was telling to visit the Basilica tomorrow. At first owing to the chilly weather I didn't want to. But I remember Sky's house is near to that. But I'm still not sure whether should I go or not. But I didn't want to miss the chance to meet him.
Sighs!
I really wonder mom would allow. Actually she didn't want me to go there now. That time just like that she told. She might go to the nearby church. But not the Basilica which was a bit far away but some how fate might have a chance for both of us to be together. But It's upto Heavens wish...
I really hope everything goes well.
