Its been two three weeks that Swayam and Sharon got into relationship. Even everything got settled between Taani and Rey. They haven't told anyone about their relationship yet as they were waiting for a better situation.
After the sweet incident with Aashi Sharon didn't have peace of mind. Somewhere she dint like it...she felt jealous that Aashi could make Swayam with her cooking skills...from past two weeks she has been thinking about it... Its not that Swayam said anything to her but some how she felt that she had lacked something...
She has shut her thoughts and went to sleep...
"SWAYAM..."
She woke up. She has seen the worst nightmare of her life.She and Aashi fighting for Swayam.And finally Swayam went off with Aashi as she lured him with kaju ki barfi...
Sharon: What...ye.kaju ki barfi...god...what am i dreaming...par ye Swayam bhi na...do do barfi liye...Aashi ka score bad gaya...aur mujhe cooking nahi aati...nahi...i cant loose...if aashi can make...y cant i...i wil cook... aisa cook karungi...aisa cook karungi ki.usko cooking se bas mein yaad aau...ha...
She has determined that she will learn cooking this week. Finally she has slept off thinking of her new mission.
Sharon woke up early in the morning and made a list of all the dishes she knew how to cook...
All the list came to just two items...
1.Coffee
2.Maggie
Sharon: mujhe kuch nahi aata ...shit...mujhe kuch pata hi nahi...oh god...no i will learn...par pehle kya banau...simple sa kuch try kar lete hu...ha...She has opened her ipad...and started off with omelette and some soup...
After breaking some 10 eggs...she finally ended up making proper omelette... and soup which she made turned out so bland the she spit it out the moment she tasted it. Her kaka wondered what has gone wrong with her. She has left for college after her practice session.
Entire day she kept thinking about recipies. She kept remembering the names of all spices and rest of the food items.Even when Swayam asked her if she was ok.She just cut him off and continued with her work. VP has announced that NDC semifinals has got postponed and they will have midterm exams in two weeks. While everyone including Swayam freaked out Sharon was still thinking about her cooking sessions. As the class ended
Swayam: Sharon...
Sharon: ha Swayam...
Swayam: Tum tensed ho na...
Sharon: ha mein...woh mein...tumhe kaise pata...
Swayam: really now...
Sharon:Ha woh mein...
Swayam: Tension mat lo ...hum sab tensed hai pata nahi kaise hoga sab kuch...

Sharon gave a huge smile...
Sharon: Wow...idea bahut acha hai..group study...i love it...
Vicky: did you just say tum dono aur group study...???
Swayam and Sharon moved far...
Swayam: arrey Vicky i was suggesting that you know time kam hai...tho kyun na ..hum...hum...
Sharon: hum sab milke group study kare...
Amar: supel idea...
Bharath: ha yaar Swayam har baar ki tarah tu hi sikha yaar mujhe,...
Nilesh: ha guys its an awesome idea...
Simmi, Rinni ,Aashi: sachi super idea hai...
Rey: par group study kaha hoga...
Taani: Hamare ghar mein...
Gang: ha idea acha hai...
Every one was happy except Swayam and Sharon as they wanted to study together... but they agreed to do so.
Entire week went off with Sharon practising on her cooking skills with the help of internet and her kaka.. and meeting in the evening for group studies...Swayam and Sharon couldn't even get a moment in Swayam's house as everyone was around. In between Sharon tried to know Swayam's interests mainly food interests. She was determined to cook for him...
But Sharon couldn't get to speak with Swayam as they were with gang preparing for the exams.
Weekend came and Sharon was tensed with both her exams and cooking session. She has prepared well for other subjects but she was not at all confident for Marketing. She thought that she will take help from Swayam but he couldn't even speak with her. She was hitting her head to get the concepts into her brain just then she got a call from Swayam
Sharon: Hey...
Swayam: hey...kya kar rahi ho...
Sharon: woh...padai..tum...
Swayam: same..Marketing se struggle kar rahi ho...
Sharon:How do u know... r u stalking me??
Swayam: seriously Sharon...i know u so well... aur tum yeh staking wala word kabhi chodogi nahi na
Sharon: oh sorry...ha struggle kar rahi hun...i hate this subject...how do u get this one into ur head,.
Swayam: hmm..easy hain...there are some techniques...
Sharon: ha wahi techniques mujhe nahi aate hain...
Swayam: Some one is always at your service u know...
Sharon; i know Swayam..i wanted to take ur help...par i cant learn it with group...i want u exclusively...
Swayam: Aap ka Swayam aapko exclusively milega...puch ke tho dekho...
Sharon: Sach...you will teach me...
Swayam: ya..i will come now...we will study till lunch aur phir bahar chalte hai what say...
Sharon felt so happy but suddenly an idea stuck her mind.
Sharon: Swayam...abhi nahi..come for lunch...
Swayam: par Sharon...
Sharon: pls na i have some important work...
Swayam: ok then...
Sharon was so excited ...finally she will cook for Swayam...
She still had 4 hrs before Swayam came so she went to kitchen and she has scanned all the items she had... she had learnt only a few things this week. One of them was pasta. She had decided to make that . She had learnt that Swayam has a great craving for deserts. So she had thought of experimenting with gajar ke halwa.
She had a little confidence while preparing pasta but gajar ka halwa is such a new thing ffor her. But still she decided to experiment some how she ha cut all the vegetables and grated gajar. She had told her kaka not to help but just give her instructions to cook. She just wanted to do this on all her own.She had got tears cutting onions...she had cut her finger while cutting vegetables...
Some how she has managed everything burning her hand some times...burning her tongue sometimes ( for tasting the food)...She had made everything and still one hr left for her estimated time..just then she heard the door bell rang and she saw Swayam entered when kaka opened the door.
Sharon: Oh god...Swayam itn jaldi...she ran into Kitchen...
Swayam: Sharon...im here
Sharon:ha Swayam do min dukho...im coming...
Sharon ran into bedroom... got freshened up and came back 15 min later...
Swayam: tho yeh do min hai...
Sharon: woh...sorry...mein kuch...
Swayam: oh oh..ok...waise kya kar rahi thi...
Sharon: kuch nahi..woh...lunch kare...
She said with a twinkle in her eyes...Swayam looked at herr...her eyes are conveying a weird kind of message today..he can easily understand that she was excited and nervous ...but for what...
Swayam: tum mujhe kuch kehna chati ho??
Sharon: woh...kuch nahi...chalo lunch karte hain...
Swayam: ok..
Sharon: tum baito i'll get the food...
Swayam: chalo i'll help u...
Sharon: nahi...
Kitchen is still in weird condition...she dint want him..to come he will pakka come to know that she had prepared the food...
Sharon: Let me do it ...tum baito na...
Swayam: ok...
Sharon went into kitchen... she went to get pasta in a bowl...she burnt her finger due to steam while transferring the pasta...
Sharon: Ouch...
Swayam: Sharon kya hua...
Swayam came and saw the condition of the kitchen...he got confused first and then he connected all the things her nervousness...confusion...
He just couldn't help but smile t her...he felt so good...it was his dream that she should cook for him...and she did...
She saw him staring at him in awe...
She hid the dish behind her as he came near to her.,...
Sharon: woh mein...yeh...bas...
Swayam : hmm tum bas...kya chupa rahi ho...
Sharon: yeh...kuch nahi...
Swayam: acha...
H e went and snaked his arms around as she was lost in his gaze...he took the dish from her hands...
She came out of the trance...and just closed her eyes...not able to face him...she was so nervous...
Swayam looked at the dish it was pasta with creamy mushroom sauce...
He saw the her fingers coated with sauce..as she had transferred the sauce...and he looked at her standing in front of him with her eyes closed eyes...he took her hand and kissed her fingers...where he saw cut marks and burn marks...a tear made way through his eye...he licked the sauce from her fingers...
She has opened her eyes when she felt he was kissing her fingers...she can see his eeyes...happiness in his eyes...she felt so good...all her effort...cuts ...burns...when she saw felt him licking her fingers she felt as if butterflies were dancing in her stomach...she lowered her gaze blushing...
Swayam: mere liye...yeh sab...
Sharon: woh...tumhe...pasta...
Swayam: Out of the world...
Sharon went and hugged him tight...as she felt so good that he liked what she cooked...
Swayam: thank u so much Sharon...u dunno...how happy iam...
Sharon smiled "im happy that ur happy...meine pehle baar try ki hain..so.."
Swayam: bola na...its out of the world...
Sharon: Chalo...khte hain...lunch...
Swayam: nahi...tum kuch aur khalo...this is mine...my treasure...only mine...
Sharon: HAww swayam...so rude...chalo...ek aur surprise hai...agar yeh share nahi karoge tho...
Swayam: wow... my life is full of surprises these days,...
Sharon: Chalo...
They ate the pasta...feeding each other...though it was not so great ...the way Swayam was relishing it made Sharon so happy...
She has even fed him the gajar ka halwa which she made following her kaka's instructions
Pasta was ok but gajar ka halwa was not so great as she has burnt the dry fruits and some of gajar...
The moment she tasted it she took it away from swayam who was gonna finish entire bowl...
Sharon: bas...gandha hai...its not good...
Swayam: how dare u...its the most delicious sweet...chalo do mujhe...
Sharon: pls Swayam...agar tum sach bologe tho mujhe bura nahi lagega,, pls mat khao ...gandhaa hai... jal bhi gaya...
Swayam: is mein ek aur cheez hai...tumhe uska taste nahi aayega...so u dunno..

Sharon blushed and just gave up she couldn't argue more...she just hugged him and they enjoyed their lunch and study session...
