Baking Tip For The Day: Bake whenever your anxious, so everyone knows how sweet your trials are

Mansi's Pov

'Mujse jo galti hui hai uske liye, I'm sorry.'

'Nahi baccha. Tu tension na le. Bas, apne bakery pe dhyaan dena. Aur beetein baatein bhul jaa.' Virat Pa smiled, sadness etched on his face.

'Jaise aap bhul gaye waise?' I answered, wiping the tear off my face, 'Anyway, ye Janvi ko de dena, please.'

I handed him a gift wrapped box which he took, 'Mansi? Chalo.'

My dad's voice echoed from below, I signalled a two minute sign as the Vadheras all sat in the car. He nodded and sat in as I faced my Virat paa, 'Janvi ke birthday ke din de dena usse. Thanks.'

'Janvi yaha nahi hai.' He said, dimly, 'Manav ke saath subah kahi chali gayi.'

I smiled, sniffing, 'Jaanti hu. Aur kaha gayi hai ye bhi janti hu.' Another tear dropped from my eye, but I had to hold it in, 'Bas itna hi kehna tha.'

'Mannu?' He touched me with his palm, trying to wipe my tear but I itched back.

Quickly I wiped my tear and straightened myself, 'Please, don't. Aap toh kisi bhi halat mein ghar wapas nahi ayenge, aur muje aadat hai apne aasu khud pochne ki.'

'Kaise baatein kar rahi ho Mansi. Tum meri beti jaisi ho.' He sighed, holding my shoulders firmly.

I took his hand off my shoulder and in my palm, pressing it lovingly because I knew not when I'd be holding these firm steady hands, 'That's the difference I guess. Beti jaisi hu, beti nahi. Hoti toh kitni bhi badi fight kyu na ho jaati, aap kabhi muje chodte nahi.'

He looked too dumbfounded to speak anything and tears quickly increased their pace in my eyes, I hugged him and ran downstairs. Opening the car door, I sat in, in tears while my Vadhera family looked at me with sympathy. They all looked miserable as me.

Veer stretched his arm out, his eyes reddish and a warm smile on his face as I leaned in and cried, burying my face in his chest.

Bitterly.

A knock on the door broke my trance as I sat upright, the video game I was playing was paused since the last hour.

'Come in,'

In came my G Ma, she had the lunch tray in her hand as she shot me a smile, 'Lunch? Aaj rajma chaval banaye hai. Specially for you.'

I sighed, switching off the video game and hunting for my mobile, 'Thanks, keep it there. I'll eat later.'

G Ma walked towards my dresser only to be angry now, 'Ye kya hai Mansi?'

I took my iPhone in my hand, while turning to see what was wrong, she pointed towards the tray already on the dresser.

'You didn't even have your breakfast?'

I completely forgot about breakfast and that I had to dispose the food off like I did in these past ten days. So I prepped myself for the lecture as G Ma kept the tray and walked towards me.

'Mansi?' She sat next to me, on my bed, holding my hand, 'Uss raat ko 10 din ho gaye hai baccha. And you've completely zoned out of everything. Khana nahi, room ke bahar nahi aati ho, kisi se bhi baatein nahi kar rahi ho and baking bhi band kar diya?'

I shook my head, withdrawing my hand from hers, 'Just not in the mood, G ma. And I'll eat something later.'

'Jhoot bolne mein bilkul apne Massi pe gayi ho.' She remarked, a smile on her face.
