"Annu! Please? one more????"
"NO!"
"PLEASSSEEEEEE~!!!!!!!"
"N.O. No."
"please! we are going to spend over 3 of our nights in the airport! I need my books! PLeasE!"
"We need to take care of the weight we carry Ajju! Last time you increased the weight by 3 kilos, because of the books you bought. FROM SHIMLA! People buy fur, and my husband buys books from there!"
"HEY! Fur costs even more than silk, so be thankful missy, I save our money like anything!"
"Whatever Ajju. You need to control your reading! You even read in the bed! I know you love it, but just, LIMIT IT!"
"ANNU! I didn't say anything when you had to work overnights on your laptop all the damn time!"
"I had to work! It is something in my responsibility, whereas you just spend time with your Mrs Books in the bed and keep reading in the toilet! There are other people in this house too you know! Do you how much chaos you have created in my stomach due to that reading habit of yours! JUST ONE MORE PAGE!"
"HEY! Just because your poo time ends in a flash doesn't mean others don't need more time!"
"Aww Did I disturb your love story with the loo? I am sorry!"
"You know! I have made the most important decisions of mine in pressure!"
"Like what?"
"LIKE THE TIME WHEN I REALIZED I LOVE YOU!"
"Aww wait eww! You think about me in the toilet silly?!"
"Well, now I don't." He said sheepishly.
Both of them looked at each other. And started LAUGHING like anything.
"You make decisions in the loo? seriously Ajju?"
"Well yes! You get time to you know... think about stuff."
She busted out laughing, which made Ajju look at her and start laughing too.
"I am sorry Ajju." She whispered as she snuggled into Arjun's arms.
"I know you need your books. Your mood depends on it. I still remember the No Exit time!"
"YOU KNOW I HAVE ISSUES WITH TRUST!"
Annu bursted out laughing, you silly boy, you can trust the milk vendor! he aint gonna carry nail guns!
"Living with you isn't too bad Ajju."
"Of course." He smirked.
"Don't get too high! You really need to work on your loo time!"
"Hey! Here we go on the logic again. Some people's digestion systems..."
And the chaos soon descended into bittersweet madness.

Coffee may be the ideal date place for normal people, but for our cartoons, ice cream, that too from the street vendor is the place to know the person well.
After all, who can know a person in a 5-star hotel, person's real traits come out only in the street bazaar. Just like, no judgements should be made about any person unless you live with that person for 25 hours(24 hours plus 1 for good luck), you can't know about a person in a fancy restaurant, you can only know them better in street food stalls.
"Ajju! I prefer roadside ice cream stalls over your exotic ice cream lounges..."
*pout pout*
"Why so?!" Arjun said, frowning and scrunching due to his perception of roadside stalls- a haven for germs to give birth to their young ones.
