Taming The Casanova

Sahil's POV

We all arranged everything that was needed for pooja. The pundit Ji came and started the pooja and havan. He asked to get the prasad which should be prepared at home. He had not told us about it... We had everything that was ordered from outside. We all were very confused.

I was not sure what to do? Only mom could make it.  we were about to ask mom to make something but Manu said, 

" Aunty, I can make it, you don't worry  and just attend the pooja."

She went into the kitchen and saw that it was fully furnished. She was looking for the ingredients. Samar, Swati and I came for helping her as there were going to be at least 50- 60 people.

She looked for the big utensils and the ingredients. Swati and Samar helped her.

" Manu there is no Rava ( semolina). " Swati said and shook her head.

" Tell me what you want, I will get from the market. " I offered but Manu shook her head and said, " It will take too much time. We need to make it soon. I can make halwa with wheat flour. Just like the Kada Prashad, we get in Gurudwara Sahib. Will that do?"

" Oh yes... I love that.. " Swati said with excitement.

" I love it too. " Samar said and she smiled at both of them.

Well, I loved it too... But I don't think she was interested.

She started making the halwa. Samar asked her, " Would you be able to make it in so much quantity? "

" Rest assured... I can. " She nodded and smiled at him.

Swati chopped some dry fruits.

She was making it with a smile on her face and looked really pretty. So looked so simple, yet very beautiful.  I was standing near the door frame.
