Chapter 56
She was teaching me slowly and as I was learning I was wondering that Valentine's Day is not that far. Only one month left. With that I was hoping to learn quickly how to bake sweets.But another question to my mind at the same time. Will I really have the courage to give him? Even if I give him will he accept or throw my hardwork out. I don't know. But it's better to learn it so that I can be good in something other than study.
Mom was teaching me how to use convection mode, setting of the timer, temperature. She was also teaching me how to prepare sweets with cocoa, cream, sugar.
At first I was not willing to learn. Then thinking about him nodded. And now when I have started to help mom it's bliss. The aroma of the sweetly fragrant cookies coupled with refres.h.i.+ng orange flavour is something I personally crave for. When it was baked mom decorated some with cream. I decorated some as well.
After all these were over we were very excited to taste some of them. It was perfect. The crisp was just fine. Nikki returned home from school and directly entered the kitchen. I stuffed some into her mouth and showing elderly pride adamantly commanded her to wash herself first. Seeing my glare she left immediately. I thought it strange for the first time she was actually listening to me. I turned back and got a jolt. Actually mom's glaring was successful. After cleaning herself we all had a feast. Dad arrived. Although being a sugar patient we gave some to him to eat. It's said Give an inch and they take a mile. Same was the case with dad. He secretly stuffed two-three more. All together shouted. Mom started quarreling. I and Nikki were laughing. Then we all together laughed. Despite the cold the atmosphere was warm. Sharing food, sharing happiness and sharing feelings are all common in a family but it's never boring or old-fas.h.i.+oned. It's something we all look forward for. The happiness of the unknown. The happiness which warms and joins a bond.
