Chapter 9

Japan.

Shinjuku city, Tokyo.

The Mumbai Special.

Looking at the beautiful young woman and the kids who were completely drenched from the rainwater Aarush was surprised and quickly cover the pot and taking a few towels from somewhere quickly walks towards them.

"We are closed, didn't you read the sign on the door?" Akeno asks with displeasure when she was interrupted in her meal that she badly wanted.

"But the aroma was very strong for us to resist." says the short white-haired girl with a smile while recovering the towel from Aarush.

"Then you need to quickly clean the water and join us else the food won't test well when it gets cold." says Aarush with a smile before giving an understanding nod while thinking 'Although I had made the front door in a way that it can leak the aroma from the foods to attract more customer but I don't expect it to spread in this kind of heavy rain.

Whatever since they are here already why not let them join us.'

"I will clean your table in the meantime, Aarush you can prepare their plates." says Akeno with a sigh before she covered her plate, even if I am not happy they are customers.

"Thank you." says the white hair girl who has already cleaned all the water from her hair.

"It's alright." says Aarush taking back all 3 towns from them with a smile before he went to get a few plates for them.

"Mom what are this golden rice and red golden fish that I have never seen previously." looking at the little Marie who is eating with the help of her brother asks the blonde hair girl with a curious face, even if she has eaten all the high-class food it's her first time finding a food that looks this amazing and even when she has now lost her appetite for some reason she can not stop her tongue to salivate making her think if there is something wrong with her God Tongue.

"It should be "Hilsha Bhuna Khichuri" but I can also be wrong since this is my first time looking at something this beautiful." says the beautiful lady with confusion as she was dying to test the Hilsha Bhuna Khichuri herself.

"You aren't the wrong madam, it's indeed Hilsha Bhuna Khichuri a specialty from my homeland." says Aarush walking out of the kitchen with 3 plates in his hand before saying with a smile.

"From my experience, it should be different in color and I can't also find the pea in the rise, did you melt them before cooking kid?" asks the young lady with a serious face as she looks at Aarush who is now filling their plates with Bhuna Khichuri.

"You are very informed about this but why don't you try it out first since it's getting cold." says Aarush with a smile as he extended a plate towards her.

"Let's see if it's as good as it smells and looks." says the young lady with a nod before she took the plate before walking to the table Akeno has cleaned not long ago.

"Stop looking at others' food and eat yours." Akeno taking a plate puts in front of the white-haired girl who is looking at Manie and her aunt's food with drool.

"Be careful while eating the first and make sure you don't eat any fish bones but if you can't remove then call me without any hesitation." says Aarush with a smile before extending a plate at the blonde-haired girl.

"I am not a kid." says the blonde before taking the seat beside her mother.

"Let's continue our meal." shaking his head after getting a cold reply from the blonde says Aarush before he and Akeno took a seat at one of the empty tables.

-------------------------------

After taking her plate Mana didn't even wait for her daughter and niece before she took her seat as she is impatient to eat her meal however she is also curious about how the little kid from India cooked Hilsha fish to give it a golden-red color, maybe he cooked it with patience and its aroma is making her crazy but what about Bhuna Khichuri that doesn't even have any pea in it or did he melted all the pea before mixing it with the rice to give it a golden cover but that is also not possible since doing so will destroy the test of the process.

'I hope it doesn't disappoint me just like all the others.' says Mana with a serious face before she touched the warm rice of the Bhuna Khichuri that made her whole body feel warm after getting drenched by the rainwater which had been making her feel cold for a while.

The warmth of the food made Mana's appetite stronger and her expectation grows even further but there is also a fear of getting disappointed but she needs to have a test of this food first since she is not one to give us just because of simple fear.

With determination and no more hesitation Mana puts the rice into her mouth before closing her eyes.

The next moment when she opened her eyes she discovered herself in a small cave and outside the cave in which she is trapped in a storm and she doesn't have anything to eat, no there are lots of things that she can eat but none of them were eatable for her and she is slowly losing her life and waiting for her death but when all the light seems lost her and she has decided to give up a strong aroma came into her nose.

It's something that made her lost appetite to raise once again for the first time in a while she saw a light through the rainstorm, she knows it might be her imagination from hunger but she didn't want to g8ve up and enters in the storm before she discovered something shining with divine light and knew its what she is being waited for a long time.

With her weak and shaky hand, she touched the light, and the cold she is feeling from the rainstorm slowly vanished before she puts it in her mouth and...

**Boom**
