When you turn 30, it's the worst age to be, you start thinking, about what you achieve in these 30 years? It's half-years of life, you want to attain stability in your life.

And one of the things that come with stability is getting married and having kids.

Ashima who already crossed 30 and has spent 4 years more living lonely life according to her mother also thinks the same things all the time.

She also thought about her biology clock, it was ticking very rapidly.

Being a career-oriented woman, these things were not her preference, she had big goals, but not until all her friends started getting married, most of them have kids now and she, just spends her weekend with her cat or her mother.

It's not she's sad or lonely, she's very happy and content with her life, what she achieved has a trace of her hard work of all these years.

She just wants a family, a family who will always support her, be with her and someone who she can call her better half.

After thinking for days, she decided to meet him.

They connect through a mutual friend.

This is the first time she's going to meet him, she may look confident outside but There's an internal battle going inside.

This is the first date after her last relationship...hoping That everything works well for both of them.

Sitting in this cosy restaurant, middle in her thoughts, she heard a voice.

"Hey, Ashima?"

Looking up, her eyes adorned with kajal meet his dark brown eyes.

"Hey, aman?"

"yep" with a smile, he sat opposite of her, putting his office bag and his white coat aside.

"I am sorry for being late, you know nha traffic, how long you're waiting?"aman asked her with a guilty expression.

"exactly 33 minutes" Ashima say looking at her watch.

He wasn't surprised to hear her reply, he did his homework well, and learn about her from his friend.

"so, shall we order?"

"yes, what do you wanna eat? , I am quite familiar with this restaurant."

"Tortellini and some sweet curd."

"with sweet curd?? Wow-what a combination" she chuckled and proceed to order his and her order.

"so, is this your first date?" Ashima asked

"no, I had a few before but didn't work out, what about you??"

"first." she said with a shy, embarrassing smile.

"It's alright, I am glad to be your first one and I'll try my best to give you a good experience"

Ashima smiles, looking at his face, she found him very handsome, having those smily wrinkled eyes, which make him look so good when he smiles, with a delicate subtle beard on his jaw, hooded dark brown eyes, and thin lips decorated with a small smile.

Sunbeams through the window brightened his caramel skin, that loose collar giving her a view of his neck and chest a little, folded loose cuffs showing his veiny arms and hands.

Ashima sighed and had a small blush on her cheeks, her fingers keep mingling with her hair, she's attractive to him, no doubt.

"shall we introduce ourselves more precisely?" Aman said fixing up his cuffs
