A day after Ruchika and Dev's wedding night, the house was filled with a sense of joy and excitement. The newlyweds were glowing with happiness, and the family gathered to celebrate their union. Vidya, Dev's mother, approached Ruchika with a warm smile on her face.

Vidya patting Ruchika's cheek affectionately " My dear daughter-in-law, I hope you had a wonderful night with my son. Now, it's time for you to take on a new role in our family - that of the one who brings sweetness to our lives. Would you like to prepare a special sweet dish for us today?".

Ruchika almost blushed " Thank you, Maa. I am honored to be a part of this family. I would love to prepare a sweet dish for everyone. What would you like me to make?".

Vidya said thoughtfully "Let's make a traditional dessert that has been loved by our family for generations - Gulab Jamun. It's a dish that symbolizes love and togetherness, just like the bond we share as a family."

Ruchika replied eagerly "That sounds wonderful, maa.. I've always
loved Gulab Jamun, and I would be delighted to learn how to make it from you".

Vidya said smiling " I'm glad to hear that, my dear. Come, let's go to the kitchen and I'll teach you the secret family recipe".

Together, Ruchika and Vidya made their way to the kitchen, where the aroma of spices filled the air. Vidya took out a large mixing bowl and began gathering the ingredients.

Ruchika asked curiously "Maa, what makes your Gulab Jamun recipe so special?".

Vidya chuckles and said "Ah, it's a combination of love, patience, and a secret ingredient passed down from my mother. But the most important thing is the intention behind making it.
You see, when we prepare this sweet dish, we infuse it with our affection and share it with our loved ones. It becomes a symbol of togetherness and celebration".

As Vidya guided Ruchika through the steps, they shared stories and laughter, creating a bond that would deepen their relationship. They mixed the dough, rolled it into small balls.

Vidya saw Dev eating 2-3 gulab jamun, earlier he was too diet conscious.

Vidya said Smiling "It seems like Dev really enjoyed your Gulab Jamun, Ruchika."

Ruchika was blushing "Yes, he couldn't stop praising it. I'm glad he liked it so much".

Vidya teased playfully "Well, you know what they say, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.".

Ruchika burst into laughing " I guess I won him over with my Gulab Jamun then.".

Days turned into weeks, and Ruchika continued to perfect her Gulab Jamun recipe under Vidya's guidance. She would occasionally surprise Dev with a fresh batch, and each time, his eyes would light up with delight.

One evening, as Ruchika and Vidya were preparing Gulab Jamun for a family gathering, Dev walked into the kitchen.

Dev asked excitedly " I smell Gulab Jamun! Is there any left for me?".

Ruchika replied teasingly "Well, that depends. Are you going to leave any for the others this time?".

Dev was grinning "I can't promise anything. Your Gulab Jamun is just too irresistible!".

As the family gathering commenced, Ruchika couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and accomplishment. Seeing everyone enjoy her Gulab Jamun brought her immense satisfaction. The sweet aroma filled the air, enticing everyone's taste buds.

Dev said eagerly "Ruchika, these Gulab Jamuns are incredible! You've truly outdone yourself this time."

Ruchika was blushing with praises"Thank you, Dev. I'm so glad you all like them. It's always a pleasure to see everyone enjoying my cooking."

Vidya said smiling "Ruchika, you have a real talent for making Gulab Jamun. Maybe you should consider opening your own sweet shop one day!".

Ruchika replied laughing "Oh, I don't know about that, Maa. But it's definitely something to think about controlling Dev's eagerness to eat it".

As the evening progressed, Ruchika's Gulab Jamun became the highlight of the night. Relatives, friends, and even neighbors couldn't resist indulging in the delectable sweet treats. Ruchika's passion for cooking and her dedication to perfecting her recipes were evident in every bite.
