Amma, where are the almonds kept for the firni asked asya bhabhi craning her head from the kitchen in a busy manner from amma who was leaning against a long cushion in ber cot in the lounge relishing her paan , amma instead of shutting off her paan box pushed the steel cup towards her and looked at Zenab beghum whose face was turning pale
Amma declared that's what she didn't like about them, at least they must trust the almighty for doing good , it is His will working overtime always, amma s tone was slightly complaining
Amma, said zenab she really had faith in almighty but her statement was cut off by noorin who had then entered the scene from the kitchen holding a plastic bowl in her right hand and a big tray in her other hand to stand near amma asking her to quickly check the spicy masala for the kebabs cooking , she extended the bowl containing a mixture durectly before amma s face
Asta arrived asking her to check the sweetness and texture of firni, so she could start preparing the salad
Listen, wait, what kind of dishes are you all making, one bahu wants my attention for firni the other drawing me to check masala for kebabs, girls like you and mothers in law who brought you into the family are responsible for arranging things , amma was by now quite flared up
By now zenab and Asta had themed up and amma checked the pudding , it was alright, Asta turned to leave , amma s voice stopped her, listen girlie, the almonds you took away from here did you add them to the boiling pudding on the stove
Amma suddenly had stopped asya expecting her to do something sloppy as always, asya explained assuring her she had not added the almonds to the pudding cooking on the stove but tge almonds were kept for the garnishing
