People started coming...
After the completion of cooking, a small portion from each dish is taken and is offered to god and then food serving started.
.....
Along the empty area sheets were spread. People sat down and Krishna, Aparna, Oormila, Siva, Karunakar, muthyalaiah, Singanna, Venkatesham, Rajappa, and many more started serving food in an orderly way starting with banana leaves, tumbler, sweet pancake, ghee, papad, pickle, fried rice, white rice,dal ,brinjal curry, potato fry, curd and ended with banana. Everyone who arrived ate to their stomach's content and blessed Krishna with full hearts. It almost became evening by the time everyone finished eating. Aunt kasthuri '' master, you can leave the cleaning work in my hands. You must be tired from all these work. Please go home and rest well'' offering him buttermilk in small earthen pot. Muthyalaiah checked with everyone and dediced to go home. ''Krishnamma, I'll be leaving. Come home before night after spending some time with them.'' Krishna left them help aunt Kasthuri.
Aparna and Oormila looked at each other as uncle Muthyalaiah left. They immediately went to kitchen where Siva and Karunakar are still working on kitchen materials. ''Sivaa'', ''brother'' they called at the same time.karunakar came to them wiping his sweat on his face with the towel on his shoulder. Siva was still helping them. ''Brother , did you remember everything I told to yesterday and explained it to brother Siva??'' Aparna asked his brother as she as her doubts in memory power of her brother.
Oormila chuckled. ''I told everything. We will go to our respective houses and meet at krishna's as the sun falls. I will make sure to bring something and Siva told he already have something she likes.'' Aparna and Oormila nodded. Oormila , then went to Siva to offer a hand in his work. Four of them together completed the work. As they were wrapping up everything krishna came'' why are all of you present at the same place? I've been searching for you.'' Oormila''Krishna , we're over here. Why are you searching for us?'' Krishna '' It's been a while since we all came together so I thought of inviting you to my house if you free. We can have fun as we chat at look at the full moon''. Oormila and Aparna looked at each other laughed out of their lungs. Siva and karunakar joined them leaving Krishna confused. Oormila controlling herself '' How come you two think the same?'' and laughed again looking at Aparna. Krishna looked at Aparna as if asking what happened. Aparna explained their plan to her and she laughed with them. After everything was over Siva locked the kitchenware room and went to give to head priest.
They left to their respective houses and got themselves freshened. Started to Krishna's house. Oormila , karunakar and Aparna walked together and met Siva on their way. All four of them reached krishna's house.
By the time they arrived krishna arranged cot, table and few chairs for them to sit on. On the table she placed a kerosene lamp, around which there are many sweets , savory items and fresh fruits and fruit juices and butter milk.
Krishna saw them coming through the main door and she went to recieve them with happiest smile. Muthyalaiah was on his way to village meeting at the tree. He greeted everyone and left the youngsters to themselves. Krishna asked '' check if there is anything missing. I'll go and get it immediately.''
Siva chuckled'' when will we be able to finsish all these things? Krishna sit down. We can get them after eating all these ''slowly pushing her towards a chair and made her sit. Karunakar sat on the cot at one end and Oormila on the other end on the opposite of the chair. Aparna sat between her brother and krishna on a chair. Siva sat between Oormila and krishna where everyones faces are visible to everyone. Krishna ''thank you for helping today at the temple'' looking at everyone. Everyone just smiled and nodded their heads. Siva '' food items we made turned out especially great today. They're way more delicious than last time'' karunkar added '' yes ,especially sweet and potato fry, I ate them way too much'' laughing. Oormila ''did nobody observe ghee? It's smell is to die for. I added ghee to all dishes'' Aparna '' Isn't the one who prepared ghee aunt Kasthuri''. Krishna ''ghee, pickles, papad, curd are made by aunt kasthuri'',''really? It's so so tasty. And adding ghee to mango pickle, its heaven'' Oormila added looking at the sky. Krishna '' if you want more, I can ask aunt kasthuri to prepare more and bring them to you.'' Oormila shaked her head'' no, no, if I wanna eat them I'll just come and eat here.'' chuckling. Aparna added ''mee too'' followed by Siva. Krishna laughed in satisfaction''you can come anytime you want and I will cook the and warm up the ghee. You can eat to your fill.'' All of them laughed. Karunakar didn't talk much and he kept looking at krishna often''Brother, can you not swallow her with your looks'' Aparna scoffed at her brother. Siva and Oormila laighed out loudly while krishna's face flushed and closed her holding a small earthen pot with fresh fruit juice. Karunakar smacked the back of his sister's head ''why did you have put it like that? Can't you find a gentle comparision'' , '' but brother, you really look at her like that'' Aparna immediately retorted. Oormila '' if you want a gentle expression, it would be Krishna's. She looks at you as if you are the most precious creature on the earth, carefully, adorably.'' With these words krishna buried her face into her palms while karunakar's head and neck felt the rush of blood , he just looked at krishna with his wide opened eyes and mouth half opened in shock due to such expression which he never expected. Siva loudly cleared his throat bringing karunakar to this world ''we know you both like each other but don't rub it on us..'' again clearing his perfectly normal throat to forming a chuckle. Aparna supporting Siva ''don't rub on us.''giggling to herself , Aparna and Siva simultaneously looked at Oormila to join them ''don't rub on us'' with a dry smile. All those three laughed out loudly while the other two are burning with embarrassment..... they continued...
