Disastrous Sunday

Jaleh woke up very excited . She was having all her friends over for a get together. During the Pandemic and the subsequent lockdown , no one had met each other . They were dying to met each other . 

The menu was all planned . The girl who came and did the polishing and dusting was booked for the day . The dinner set was out . Everything was planned . She went into the kitchen and was making her coffee and enjoying it !! Thinking mentally , what had to be brought more . Suddenly the phone rang , the cook’s son called up saying his mother was very ill and wouldn’t be able to come in . Jaleh was flustered . She geared herself and called another helper . She agreed to come . 

As Jaleh was getting things ready , the person from whom she had ordered the desserts , called . He said due to the chef’s accident, they wouldn’t be able to process her order . 

Jaleh wanted to scream . She got down to cooking , making an easy recipe . The helper came and started helping her . Just then her son called her . Jaleh went out to see what he needed . By the time she came another disaster was awaiting her . The helper thinkin it was salt had put a huge portion of sugar in the chicken Parmesan mushroom. Jaleh was ready to weep . Nothing seems to be working out today . Why was this happening. 

Just then she heard a loud crash from the drawing room . Her beautiful porcelain vase lay in bits on the floor . Unfortunately meeting his untimely death . The girl looked sheepish . Jaleh controlled her anger . The table cloth was given to her to iron . 

Jaleh went back into the kitchen to check on the vegetable , cheese bake dish . By mistake the helper had increased the temperature of the oven . The bake dish looked a beautiful blackened delight !!

Jaleh Just sat down . Suddenly she heard the girl screaming “ Madam ! Madam ! Something is wrong with the iron  

Jaleh went running , her tablecloth was left with a large hole right in the centre. Just then she had her fill . She was hitting the roof . She sent both of them packing . 

She just ordered the food and desserts . She did the table decoration and finished the remaining dusting . 

She composed herself and got ready for the evening ahead . She decided to enjoy herself thoroughy . 

She went and bought fresh flowers to decorate the house . All was in place !!
