AUTHOR'S POV

It was a quiet night in the Rajwansh household, with Prisha and Abhiman fast asleep in their cozy bed. However, the peace was short-lived as Prisha suddenly woke up with a strong craving for golgappe, she's now 4 months pregnant, and all her cravings and mood swings are very high right now. She nudged Abhiman, who was sleeping peacefully beside her.

"Maan, wake up," she whispered urgently, shaking him awake.
"Kya hua aapko? Pair dukh Raha hai? Mein sar daba dun? Aap theek hein-" Abhiman woke up in a hurry and sat straight up, and started bluttering things out, while prisha shushed him.

"Nahi nahi,I want golgappe." Prisha said making Abhiman gaze at the clock, it's 2.38 in the morning.

Abhiman fully opened his eyes and looked at her, confused. "Golgappe? Now? Doctor ne aapko unhealthy cheeze khane se mana Kiya hai meri jaan, you can't have golgappe at this hour."

"Doctor ne toh ye bhi kaha hai ki aap humara dhayan rakhe, lekin aap nahi rakh rahe, ye sirf mein thodi humare bacche bhi crave kar rahe hein, but mein hoti kon hun, rehne de aap" Prisha huffed, as i said she's high on her mood swings right now. And at times it gets difficult to handle her.

Abhiman cooed her gently and tried reasoning her that it's not good for health But Prisha was not in the mood to listen to reason. She was in the midst of her pregnancy and her mood swings were at an all-time high. All she could think about was the tangy and spicy taste of golgappe. She started to pout and tears threatened to spill from her eyes.

"Please, Maan. I'm craving it so much. I promise I'll only have a few," she pleaded, her voice quivering.

Abhiman couldn't resist her, especially when she was in this state. He was whipped for her and would do anything to make her happy. He sighed and got out of bed. "Okay, fine. I'll go get them for you."

Prisha's face lit up with joy and she hugged him tightly. "Thank you, Maan. You're the best husband ever."

Abhiman smiled, but his mind was racing. He knew that it wasn't safe for Prisha to have golgappe in the middle of the night, especially from a street vendor. He had to come up with a way to fulfill her craving without compromising on her health. That's when he remembered his best friends, Lakshay and Aadvik.

He quickly called Aadvik and lakshay to explain the situation to them. Aadvik, who was a foodie himself, and coming up to lakshay he knows how
To cook. They both picked the call up after the third ring, they were on a group call.

"Hello?" Lakshay said sleeply.

"Oo Abhiman kal phone karna" Aadvik said making Abhiman look at the call in disbelief.

"bewde uth ja" Abhiman exclaimed in complete disbelief.

"Itni raat ko call kiya tune? Sab theek hai?" Lakshay being the sensible person he is, asked.

"Tujhe khana banana aata hai na?"Abhiman asked over the phone.

"Han aata toh hai, kyun?" Lakshay asked as he yawned, meanwhile they could hear light snores from Aadvik's side of call.

"Mujhe golgappo ki recipe bata" Abhiman asked as he entered the kitchen.

"Tu bhala golgappe di recipe ki karni? Oh vi addhi raat nu? Wait- hun eh na kahi ki tu business chad ke golgappe di rehri launi aa." lakshay said out of a sudden, he is from panjab and tends to suddenly Start speaking in Panjabi once he is shocked.

(Hindi translation: tereko golgappe ki recipe kyun chahiye? Voh bhi adhi raat ko? Wait- don't tell me ki tu aapna business chor ke golgappe bechna start karne wala hai.
