Story: "The Saturday Cake"

It was a stormy, rainy night. Methy was in the way about to reach home when her phone rang. She picked the call, it was Dammy. She said, “Hello!”. She was seeking a reply but the network was not clear, the line was weak, she heard some long breathes, it seemed that the person was in a hurry and a little panicky. He replied, “The Saturday Cake.”

Methy was unable to understand what Dammy was saying. So she asked again, “What?” and he again cried, “The Saturday Cake” and the call was canceled. Methy was confused as she was unable to understand what he wants to say. Tia next to her asked, “What happen, what he was saying?”

Methy replied, “it was Dammy, he was talking about some Saturday cake.” “Saturday cake?”, Tia replied with a confused face. “Was he asking for any cake you baked or purchased in any of these Saturday?”, Tia asked. “No, I don't think that I have baked or purchased any cake on these Saturdays”, replied Methy. “Then which Saturday cake was he talking about?”, asked Tia. Methy replied with a questioned face, “I don't know.”

They reached the home, Tia opened the door, Methy was trying to reach out to Dammy but the network was not available since the weather was very bad so she said, “I will ask him tomorrow.”

The next day, they both reached Dammy's house. They knocked at the door, it was locked but Methy had the duplicate keys so she opened the door. They entered inside. When they get inside they found the whole house was dirty, everything was scattered here and there. It seemed that it was not cleaned for many days. Methy said with anger, “What he turned this all?”

They were looking around when Methy found a letter. She read it, the letter was as follows “Hello son, I found the Saturday Cake you are searching for. Reach me as soon as possible, I will wait for you.” and in the last, the address of the sender was written. They were sure there's something wrong. Both Methy and Tia were confused about whatever the letter contained and the biggest mystery was that they don't know what this Saturday Cake is? They decided to visit the place whose address was written in the letter.

They came to know that it was the address of a small town, away from the city, situated near a small hill. When they reached, they saw that it was an old town with very less population, mostly a forested area, and the place they need to reach was a church.

It was very old and the only church in the place. It was not in a good condition, was ancient, but it was beautiful from inside. They were looking around when one of the nuns of the church came and asked, “Good evening ladies! what are you looking for?” Methy replied, “Hello, I have a letter which has the address of this place. Can you tell me who sent this?” The nun took the letter and after looking inside she said, “Come with me.” She took them behind the church, in the shelter where the staff of church used to stay. Outside the office of Father, she asked them to wait. She went inside the room and after a short while asked them to come in.

When Methy and Tia entered the room they found an old man sitting on a big chair, reading a book. The nun replied, “He is Father Robert Step, who has sent this letter” and she went back. Methy and Tia looked at him, smiled a little, and said softly, “Hello Father!”

Father Robert Step stood up and said, “Hello ladies, please take the seat and tell me what you want to know?” Tia and Methy sat down and then Methy said, “Father, I came from Tumbersden. I want to know about this letter you have sent to my brother Dammy.” The Father took the letter, read it, and replied, “Yes, I sent it but what happen?”

Methy said, “Father, what is this line 'I found the Saturday Cake' mean? What this Saturday Cake is? and yes last night Dammy called me and was continuously saying 'the Saturday Cake' and when I reached his house today morning, I found everything scattered and he was not there. I am trying to contact him but he is not replying. Do you know something?”

“Oh my child, Methy, does Dammy didn't tell you about the Saturday Cake? By the way, let me tell you, Saturday Cake was the name of your grandpa's bakery whom he used to run with your grandma. When your dad left them alone taking all of you with him, they open this bakery to earn a penny, and as they love you both a lot and know how much you love the sweets, so they open the bakery and named it 'The Saturday Cake',  in the sense that the holy day will soon arrive when you both will return to them and enjoy your favorite goodies. But it didn't happen. I was the best friend of your grandpa and we had shared everything. He handed me something that he wanted to share with you both whenever you will return.”, told father Robert Step to her.

“Is it true? It is grandpa's bakery's name. Oh my God! But how you found Dammy.”, Methy asked sentimentally. Father replied, “Yes, some months before Dammy visited this place in search of them. He was standing in front of their house when I was passing by. I looked at him, I was not sure but somewhere a little guessed that it was he, so I went to him and asked what he was looking at? and he recognized me. You were very small, maybe of 4-5 years old, that's why you don't know me but he played with me in his childhood and we spent a great time so he immediately caught me insight.”, and he coughed.

“Father, did Dammy met grandpa?”, Methy asked. “No, he asked me about them. I am sorry but they passed 5 years before, you are late. I told him about this, he was shocked and was sorry to be late but then I told him about the bakery”, replied Father Robert Step. He took a deep breath and again said, “I told him about 'The Saturday Cake', he was happy and asked me what his grandfather wanted to share with him, but I mistakenly forgot where I kept that and thus I lost it”, he was telling this all when Dammy entered the room saying, “Grandpa, you told me that it was there.....”, and then he looked at them and said, “Hey Methy, sorry tomorrow I was in a hurry. I was so much excited that I forget to tell you about the matter properly and the network was also weak, so I was unable to contact you.” 

Methy looked at him, he was holding a book. She said, “It's ok, Father told me everything, but you made me scared. Well, what is this?” and he replied, “Want to see what is this? Take it”, and he gave it to Methy.

Methy took it in her hand, it was an old book with a brown epic cover. There's something written on it which was some dusty, she cleaned the cover and read the title “The Saturday Cake.” “This is grandpa’s recipe book where all types of cakes whatever he learned and made, those all recipes are written. I was searching for it from the day when Father told me about this, but he forgot where he kept it. Today, when I reached him he told me that it was in his library's attic and that was so big that I was tired of searching, but at last, I found it. It was a difficult task. Well, thank you Grandpa.”, he bowed at him. Father replied, “It’s my duty son. I am happy to give you this. They loved you both a lot, they will be happy and I am also happy as I have completed their last wish.”
