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.. . ..
................
hey guys Emir is an aggressive and arrogant character.. you'll get to know other shades of him in upcoming chapters..
Shanaya:."you can't yell over someone, besides I already mentioned the dish is still on preparation!! " I said to that man.. he was clinging a mask over his face.. looks like he is some goon or something.. I rolled my eyes..Well I believe we should equally respect the CEO as janitor.. but whoever this man is he surely doesn't know how to put his ego beside..I was roaming my eyes to the customers as whole of the eyes we're concentrated over us as if some circus was going on in here..I sighed a bit and then looked at this person, people surely don't know how to be respectful towards others.As I was busy ruffling my eyes over my surrounding, he removed his mask.. and I would be lying if I say I didn't like his looks..Damn.. he is.. breathtaking substantial I must say.. he looks familiar, have I seen him on TV, no way Shan.. you are being a paranoid.. how come a celebrity visit a small cafe of yours?? i brushed off
Shanaya:" pass me the bowl of brown sugar" I Asked Manushi smiling towards her.. Well she does alot of work here.. she was actually facing financial problems when she entered her college , so I asked her to work in my cafe..as a part-time job... I know I'm not able to make huge profit , but still I feel relaxed when I help someone..She was long lost thinking deep so I smacked her head lightly.." why are you lost madam" I asked rolling my eyes and went to knead the cookie dough.She too followed me and excitedly chirping at the counter, she says." Shan don't you think?? that Emir Blackiston is so hot?? " she said looking at the ceiling.. ahh looks like someone is dreaming so hard.."don't you think you are too lost in someone's dream" I said playfully rolling my eyes and continuing kneading the cookie dough.." His jawline is perfect is so perfect.. and oo damn his smirk looks so alluring.. "
Emir:She looked like an angel.. when I first saw her.. Since granny already showed me the way to apologize her, so I am gonna do it.. I'll visit that cafe tomorrow itself and ask her out.. yeah perfect.I was planning itself when I heard my brother's voice." bro are you smiling??? " Zack asked widening his eyes wide as if smiling is something banned for me.That's when I realized I was really smiling like a fool.To be honest, I don't really smile frequently, I don't know what got into me but I was smiling since morning." why ,is smiling banned ?? " I asked him.. he chuckled." no, but that's a matter of surprise.. no shock that, Emir Blackiston is smiling " he emphasized on the surname." then get ready to be shocked forever!! " my words made him jumped in shock.." one second??? are you in love??? " he said wiggling his eyebrows.. kids these days. he isn't a kid, he is 24 but s
Shanaya:I slept that night in spite of knowing that my cafe is sealed, I don't have a job or a penny to meet both ends.. and still I don't know how to manage the expenses of orphan children... the anxiety arose in me was eating me from inside, especially when I know I'm helpless.Next day I again headed with a light of hope that, may be today can I get a decent job, but to my bad luck no job was available or may be I could say due to my spoiled reputation they didn't want to hire me..Suddenly I get a call from my best friend, Amara.. god why haven't I thought about her.. she is a great motivator."hey Am what's up?? "." I'm okay but.. what about you, where are you and what about the cafe!!! " I felt the shrieking yelling sound from the other side of phone,that I have to literally close my ear. .. ok fine she is freaking out right now..She is my best friend in fact." ok ok I was about to tell you!!! "
Emir:I was actually shocked cuz Azeil didn't show any concern even for a female colleague once, I remember she was about to fall, then he instructed one of our employees to take her to hospital, but he didn't himself bother much.When we reached home , Zack was asleep but granny was up, as she looked to the girl figure in Azeil's arms, she was confused but didn't say anything..Azeil layed her in the guest room, where her constant blabbering could be heard.. why is he so concerned about her."bro, finally can you tell me about her?? " I said scratching back of my neck." she is my childhood friend, remember when dad sent you to the hostel, and I insisted to remain here, that's because I liked her... I mean she was my crush back then!!! "One second.. did I hear it clearly.. my brother.. Azeil Blackiston had a crush on someone..God played the same trick again.. why does to lay
Shanaya:I woke up with a severe headache, I can't even recall yesterday's incident, I just remember, that couple weaving random conclusion about me and then I took a tequila shot... wait.. I drank alcohol... seriously Shan, you know your alcohol tolerance, still..I sat up crossing my legs, when I found I wasn't in some familiar place, wait... where am I??? I am freaking.. it's more likely a hotel..I immediately looked towards my clothes and found that those were still intact.. and then fidgeted the quilt and found that there wasn't any blood..I laid a sigh of relief , having been confirmed that my virginity is still intact.But now the question arises, where am I??.I looked towards my phone placed on the nightstand and found approximately hundreds of missed calls from Amara and Jones.Hell. I'm doomed, first of all I don't know where am I right now?? secondly these three people are gonna ki
Azeil:As I entered the home, I heard some hustle from inside, did some guest arrive, may be some friends of grandma, I was about to pass through the Hall, when I saw Shanaya, wearing that chef's hat and apron and serving cake to all.When our gazes met, she felt uncomfortable, I bet and started looking to the other directions.I was nervous and thats when grandma said." ohh, Azeil come, look the perfect pattisier chef has prepared some dessert from her own hands, come taste it, it tastes like heaven" .and then she moaned tasting the bite of it, as if it's the last palate of food.I gave her a tight lipped smile, not to show any emotions and went to my room to change.'she has grown into a beautiful mature lady' my brain complimented thinking about her.' yeah I know' I said to my brain.'have you tasted that white chocolate dipped carrot cake out there, it was looking delic
Emir:.So finally the day has come, finally our newly inaugurated restaurant is gonna come under the category of Michelin star restaurant.( Michelin stars are homologous to the Oscar in Hollywood industry, it's a pride moment for a chef to receive such award).Our restaurant has been come under the category of ' the best restaurant with excellent cooking' so it does worth a detour.It's been surveyed several times in these two years, me and Azeil had poured our blood and sweat to bring our restaurant to the next level, be it in cuisine or service, hospitable atmosphere or culinary expertise, we tried to provide our best to prove the superiority of THE YELLOW CHILLIES.The renowned chef is going to survey our restaurant for the final ratings and for his own satisfactions.As soon as he arrives, he gets impressed with the hospital atmosphere, and the culinary services, the
