Their first encounter

shanaya:

It's been a week since I launched the new recipe over the cafe and guess what they had been appreciating it well. 

"hey Shan?? " and there she is....my best friend Amara... 

Well we had been best friends, I don't remember since when... she has a bubbly nature which makes everyone love her... 

She had been my backbone when mom passed away.. at that time i was shattered, I never even imagined in my dreams I'll be able to move on so easily without her. it's not that i hadn't been in remorse but Amara's motivation always kept me up to make experimentation with my dishes.. 

Well initially, I was not a fan of experimenting in food.. I liked it in conventional style.. but she only asked me to do so when I talked to her about my bizarre ideas, she encouraged me that I wasn't manipulating a dish rather I was making it better.. and my confidence was boosted to another level my my customers too liked it as I served them.. 

My cafe had books... a lots of books you know books can make your mood lighten, that's what I had kept in my mind.. light hearted sweet books. 

"you are late!!! I almost was about to abandon you!! " I said faking my anger showing my grumpy side, in return she chuckled hard... 

Yeah she consider me as her grandma as I keeps suggesting or advising her to whom she has to date and to whom not to.. 

" ok sorry, grandma... please spare me this time, otherwise I'll die of heart attack " she said pointing her finger at her heart to which I let out a chuckle... 

She and her dramatic moments. 

" ok guess what, you almost made me forget for what I approached you " she said lightly smacking my head... " and what's that" I said 

" you know what.. Shan!! I'm in love!! " I let out an audible sigh.. this is the fourth time a week she is in love.. 

"ok tell me one thing Am?? is your heart a boys hostel?? how do you fit in so many boys over there" I said pointing at her chest. 

" well it's nothing wrong in falling in love!!! and this time he means a world to me" oh my drama queen, please approach Am!! to have classes on drama section cuz she is a pro in it.. 

" are you building a solar system over there cuz this is repeatedly the tenth world of yours in the month".. 

She grinned showing her white teeth. 

I shook my head and tugged her wrist dragging herself to the kitchen.. 

" what's new?? " she said excitedly chirping, she likes my experimentation and honestly if it hadn't been her I wouldn't have gathered the courage to have confidence in myself. 

" here taste this!! " I said putting a spoonful of gooseberry cheesecake in her mouth.. 

She pretended to think something as if she was a judge of some cookshow.. 

I chuckled on her reaction.. 

" so what do you think!!?? " I asked, finger crossed.. 

" the best cheesecake I have ever tasted!! " she chirped happily licking the spoon.. honestly I would be lying if I say her compliment doesn't worth.. she is special person and will always be.. 

Emir: 

" damn... no I don't want this!!" I literally barked at Azeil.. he was electing me as the judge of some pastry competition.. 

" why not??? you are capable, you have the knowledge of flavors and besides you'll be able to give your feedbacks which will be a lot help!! " 

It's not like I can't judge a show or something, but I am conservative, I can't just plaster smile on my face everytime I'll be judging the contestants. 

Moreover last time when I did so, the female contestants were throwing every single trick to seduce me, and I hate such women.. thats why from then I hate being a part of such shows. 

"you know I don't like sweets?? " I replied giving a valid reason to slip off from this situation, but in return he raised an eyebrow. 

" ohh wow what an excuse!! should I award an Oscar for giving such a wonderful excuse?? " he said crossing his arms against his chests. 

He and his sarcasm. 

" or do you want me to complain grandma?? " no.. not again.. he had been a  favorite child of Grandma, it's not like she doesn't love me or Zach or I'm complaining about that... but she always reasons that whatever Azeil does its good for us. 

Well she is right.. till now whatever decisions he took on our behalf had been on great success still I am not on a verge to do this... 

Frustratingly I left the restaurant with my notebook and a pen.. I'm concentrating on my recipe well and for that I have to concentrate.. and regarding this matter I will definitely come on this afterwards. 

I left the place and roaming in the streets, covering my mouth ( to escape from paparazzi) I looked at a cafe.. it's a small cozy cafe named'BAKE MY LOVE',.

Ahh rubbish.. people do alot of weird stuff for the publicity and guess what this name sucks to me.. 

Although I didn't like the name of cafe still looking at the interior I visited inside.. 

It was a cozy cafe filled with light music and a shelf of books... at one wall there written loads of quotes... 

One of the lady came to take my order, I didn't look at her and ordered the weirdest dish which they were serving.. GOOSEBERRY CHEESECAKE

I thought of trying it as the name tempted.. meanwhile I was working with my dish thinking out how to bring JAPANESE flavors better and that's when I was served with that dish... 

As soon as I tasted it.. my mouth filled with loads of sourness.. it's annoyingly unbearable.. 

I scrunched my face and called the waiter to call the chef... 

I was frustrated to core since the morning incident and cherry on the top this dish ruined whole of my mood.. 

"what the hell do you think you serve to your customers?? " as I turned I saw those blue orbs... she was wearing a messy bun panting hard with a bit droplets of sweats on her forehead... at some moment I almost forgot I was about to yell at the lady.. well nobody this to me.. nobody had this huge effect of me simply by the looks but this girl just took my breath away... 

My heart softened for her for I don't know why... 

"I respect your feedback sir.. but you can't yell at someone, besides we already mentioned in the menu that the we are still working on the dish".. 

Ohk so now this girl is backtalking me... for the first time in my life... someone had guts to do this.. 

I removed my mask.. every other person stood as they saw my face..they know who I'm,  , look at her audacity.. pretending as if she doesn't know me.. well well well, this girl really stepped on my nerves arguing with me... so let's see what will this lead to.... I smirked inwardly and left the place paying the bill.. . ..
