"In every lifetime, in every world, I would find you and choose you."
The envelope sat on the desk, untouched. Its edges were frayed, reflecting the decade that had passed. The handwriting on the front was unmistakable - sharp, deliberate strokes th...
They stopped talking when Abhishek and Siddharth started descending the stairs, deciding to not disturb them till Siddharth eats something. Due to the layout of the house, the boys could not see their friends sitting in the living room. But they could see Abhishek and Siddharth. Blame the special Abhishek pulled a chair for Siddharth, and Siddharth sat at the dining table. A delicious smell was wafting from the kitchen, and Siddharth started feeling hungry.. He was indeed hungry from the morning, and his stomach was growling.
" So, what did you cook for me, Abhi..?" Siddhi, sitting on the other end of the table, felt betrayed... Here she was, eating bland food, and Abhishek did not bother to serve a little of his 'dish' for her!
Rice was already on the table, and Abhishek brought another steaming dish from the kitchen.. Siddharth inhaled deeply..What a mouth watering aroma!!
" Ay, you made Nu shaak for me? Mutton Nu shaak??" Siddharth was grinning from ear to ear. He rubbed his hands together in excitement. Siddhi got up and came near them. She too wanted a taste.

" Siddhi, I totally forgot about you.. Wait a second, I'll serve some for you as well..."
" Abhishek, let me have some first. Sid is busy staring at the food..."
" Hey Siddhi! He cooked it for me..... I get to taste it first!"
There they go again. In the end, Siddharth got the first serving. He tasted it and closed his eyes for a moment, marvelling at the taste... " Mm.... this is great, Abhi, come closer..." Siddharth was quite enthusiastic.. Abhishek went closer and Siddharth rewarded him with a peck on his cheek. Abhishek blushed, and a light smile formed on his face. Siddharth saw that and whispered " I love you baby....." Siddhi cleared her throat. There was no reaction.. Siddharth the flirt was flirting with his eyes, and Abhishek was staring at him like there was no tomorrow...
Siddhi remembered the four friends watching, and deliberately coughed rather loudly, jolting the lovers " My dear brothers.... get a room! Flirting right in front of my lunch??" She exclaimed, feigning disgust. Abhishek smiled apologetically and sat down beside Siddharth, to have his lunch. His face was still flushed. Siddharth on the other hand, was quite unapologetic
" Come on drama queen..... It was just a peck..! My Abhishek was toiling hard to make this Nu shaak for me, and shouldn't I reward him? And, the servants must have left for their lunch break, you are the only one here.. So, I will flirt as much as I want..." Siddharth said lazily, eyeing Abhishek. Without much ado, he began to dig into his food..
After some time, he noticed that Abhishek was not eating anything.. He started getting ideas and asked " Abhi, if you don't mind, shall I feed you a morsel?" Abhishek nodded. Siddharth did just that.. Abhishek knew that his food was tasty enough, but eating it from Siddharth's hands, the feeling was heaven. After a morsel, Siddharth was about to resume eating, when Abhishek opened his mouth again! Siddharth giggled and whispered " My big baby wants to be fed by me??" while continuing to feed Abhishek. The lunch was pure bliss for the couple, they didn't have to pretend to be just friends, Siddhi found it amusing, while Arjith was seething. Arjun was running a commentary, which went " Oh, what a sweet couple..." " I wish I had a girlfriend!!" Neha and Prateek were quiet.
