Reborn As A Mom
/ Reborn as a Mom Chapter 12
Ira looked at the woman in the mirror with tears, in the washroom
'There were always such lovely people around me but I never knew .
I was absorbed in my own self that I had no the time to look around .
Only after the bitter experience of past, I decided to be good to them . "
A woman who doesn't even get greeted by a rude daughter in law;
Shouldn't she hate her or at least express a general dislike .
She never visited her in past .
Yet she welcomed her with broken arms . She touched her earnings .
It was a very expensive stone and rare too . If it was just a gift she would have felt gratitude .
Whereas, for a designer giving the most popular and expensive design someone's name was a sign of deep affection .
And she felt warmth and attachment
What did I do to deserve this?
They say one must have saved a country in her previous life to gain such luck . She was just a selfish person in past life .
Next morning she got up early .
To make breakfast . . .
When they had lunchboxes delivery service . Her mother made a delicious lunch for delivery so she learned to make desserts and cakes, complimentary to it . Though initially having no talent but 3 years of hard work, she made quite delicious desert .
The smell of muffins straight out of oven drifted in the house . There was a basket laden with muffins . Some loaded with nuts, other with fresh berries .
When Viv followed the smell he saw
a smiling woman taking baking tray out from microwave oven .
" Viv I made some muffins . Do you want to try?" she asked .
Vivian looked at Ira flashing a sweet smile "Okay!" he said without any thought .
She held a warm muffin laden with blueberries, dipped in melted butter and then sprinkled with spiced sugar
Served it . Waiting for his response .
Viv ate it unconsciously it was first time she cooked for him but when
He tasted sweet and spicy but soft and moist muffins . He savoured the taste .
After taking a bite, He realized he had been impulsive . Looking at the water mouthering muffins but still unable to eat them was a torture .
He didn't even swallowed the last bite and was thinking of excuse when he heard
Ira say " Don't worry they are eggless . "
She remembered an embarrassing conversation from yesterday with Tara . . .
"Viv makes very good eggs especially poached eggs, they are perfect . You are good cook . He must have learned to make them from you . Though he doesn't like them . What does he like to eat?" wanting to inquire about his favourite food .
Tara said "Eggs? Viv made eggs! He has extreme egg allergy . We never made eggs at home . "
Ira was so ashamed and embarrassed that she didn't ask any further . It was in reality a 4 year marriage and she didn't knew of her husband's allergies .
Present .
"You idiot! What if they did? I would have added normally except I knew yesterday that you have egg allergy
How can you eat just like that?" Ira was angry for his carelessness and her ignorance .
"Because it was made by you . Served to me, for first time . I would have only tasted it" Viv answered honestly .
Ira embarrassingly lost the eye contact and filled a platter of muffins, kept in front of Viv
"Eat" she said softly .
Normally he doesn't eat any desserts . Most contain eggs and he didn't took a risk . He had long forgotten
What they tasted like . . .
Amazed by the taste, he obediently emptied the platter .
Ira, looking forward to his reviews got silence . He was just absorbed eating .
"How was it?" Ira asked .
"Its best thing I have ever tasted . " Viv said .
"Really?" Ira said .
He took her outstretched hand and turned the palm downwards gently by the fingertips, bowing his head kissed it "Really, the sweetest thing . Made by these lovely hands . "
Viv was amazed .
