I was editing the story draft that I had completed writing two months ago. I had edited more than three chapters and more ten chapters were on the way.

Appu placed the bowl of cornflakes in front of me. She began eating the cereal from her bowl. I frowned at her. 

"Why again the cereal?"

"It was two weeks ago," Appu shot me a glare.

"Ani mi kadhihi tula tokat nahi jevha pan tu andyachi bhurji kartes,"
"And mind you, I never complain whenever you make the same scrambled eggs for the breakfast."

I rose from the chair and went to the kitchen to make Maggi for myself. The last night I didn't had any dinner as I dozed off early and I was too hungry in the morning. Just the dry cereals were not going to fulfil my appetite.

"What are you searching for?"

"Maggi,"

"It's in the third row,"

"Thanks," I said plainly.

My parents had went to Pune to visit my grandmother as she was admitted in the hospital due to some reason I was unaware of. Ved had went back to Mumbai the last week after Raksha Bandhan. It was just me, Reason and Appu in the house.

"Don't make that face, I'll get you chinese for dinner."

I cocked my eyebrow at her and asked, "You are not lying, right?"

"No, I'm not."

"Okay," I grinned at her.

I boiled the noodles and added extra chilli powder in it. One packet of Maggi tastemaker never worked for me. I would add a whole teaspoon of chilli powder to make it spicy.

"Tula pahije ka?"
"Do you want the Maggie?"

"Even I could have made the Maggi if I had that much time. I am getting late,"

I shrugged my shoulders.

"You have your dentist appointment today at five. So do go to the dentist, okay?"

"Did you get the appointment or baba did?"

"No, it was me,"

"I'll go along with Atharv,"

"Okay, now I've to go. Please do the dishes,"

"I'm not doing dishes tomorrow then," I demanded.

"Okay, fine. But please do wash these and keep them inverted for drying."

Appu threw the bowl and the spoon in the sink and handed me her credit card for paying the doctor's bill.

"Don't spend extra money, okay? If you do so, you won't get anything for dinner and also no pocket money for two months." she crooked her finger at me.
