Their business of luchboxes expanded a lot in 7 years . During the 7 years with helping her mom with lunchboxes, This Ira had surprisingly become a good cook .
In the kitchen, two women were busy cooking .
One frying onion fritters, Another busy boiling water
Yes! Boiling water . . .
. . . For making tea .
The mother-daughter enjoyed an evening snack with tea . Former Ira never entered the kitchen, even for drinking water, she called for a servant, specifically Van!"
Van who was on leave fortunately for her own self .
That Ira was gone, dead and buried . . .
Looking at her mom still dumbfounded and worried by the so little, but sudden change she threw out of her mind the idea 'giving mom a day off'
Ira didn't want others to see the 360' change in her attitude so she thought to herself 'change slowly and steady . '
So this time she didn't cook rather just interestingly observed her mom cooking . Trying her best to act clueless in this situation and asked questions which her mom explained patiently .
She remembered the first time her mom taught her to cook . . .

Vegetable stir-fry
"To make a stir-fry vegetable you have to ensure all the vegetables cook evenly"
She explains how harder vegetables take longer to cook .
"Stir faster! You will burn them"
"Stop! Slow down you are splattering it everywhere"
Looking at the vegetables on the floor fallen directly from the pan .
"The only thing I know to stir is TROUBLE . " Ira said proudly .
'That time when you held me and said it's okay . . .
You hugged me even when I was so hateable . . .
You kissed me and loved me,
Even when your husband and son were dead because of me!
Thank you for never hating me, mom, I will be better' She made another promise .
Waiting for the perfect opportunity Ira said:
"Mom add baby corn too"
"Ah! Okay" mom nodded .
"Also, let's add some baby carrot, baby peas, baby spinach, baby broccoli, also baby beet!"
Still confused .
"Where is your mango pickle? I have cravings this day!
I need chocolate ice cream too for dessert" Ira gave a major clue .
Finally, Su Shan got the clue and smiled with tears in her eyes .
Anticipating Ira's next words .
"Mom you will be a grandma" Ira gave her a very happy news .
Her daughter was expecting .
They hugged and cried . Only mom knew of her aversion to pregnancy . Su Shan could tell from experience that Ira was on pills she once even confronted her . Ira, as usual, took her words as air .
"You've have become mature Ira . Even if it's hard to try to love and be sincere . "
Ira ringed Vivian "Viv, come in my parent's place for dinner" and cut off the phone before hearing his answer .
That was old Ira style . Slow and steady changes!
The dinner table full of delicacies all her favorites . Su Shan was surprised by her daughters new found love for sweets . Most items were sweets and desserts . Ira was never fond of sweet stuff . She guessed it was due to pregnancy .
However, it was due to her last life: Mother made all lunch and she complimented it with her Desserts!
