It had been over a week they lived under the same roof. His dad also returned from punjab and she gelled up with him pretty well. Karan quietly made tea for her every morning in her take away mug. She didn't know about it, she thought his mom was making it.

Teju: Aunty you are making me addicted to your chai and food.

Mom: I will take credit for the food but not for the chai.

Teju; what who makes it then?

Mom: Karan

Teju; ohh but when I leave early then also he made chai for me?

Mom; he asked me a night before when do you need to leave.

Teju couldn't help to ask

Teju: but why?

Mom: I thought you know it by now. Do you know or you didn't know?

She realized what she meant and she tried to change the topic which his mom understood and didn't persuade any longer.

Teju; aunty how's your leg?

Mom: bit better

One day he saw his mom cooking, he got little upset with her and asked her as she wasn't feeling too well

Karan: where is the cook? Why are you making food in such pain.

Mom: he had some family emergency so he went to his village for a couple of days so I was cooking.

Karan: mom you should have told me. You are getting better but you shouldn't exert yourself. Leave the dinner, I will order something

Mom: ok baba I won't cook

Karan: hi, when are you coming home?

Teju: reaching in 10 min. All okay?

Karan: yep I was wondering if you had dinner?

Teju: nope why?

Karan: I ordered food

She got excited

Teju: oh kya mangaya hai?

Karan: Chinese

Teju: yummy reaching soon

She entered his home and found him already in the kitchen to heat up the food. She quickly went to her room to freshen up. He was setting the table when she came back.

Karan: hi

Teju: hi

Karan: come let's eat

Teju: you also didn't eat ?

Karan: no I was about to when I messaged you.

Teju: so why didn't you?

Karan: I thought to eat with you

Teju: hmm ok

They ate together with her talking and him listening to her about her day.

Karan: do you want tea? I feel like having one

Teju: why not I love your tea

Karan: great

He went to the kitchen and she followed him.

Karan : May I ask you one thing?

Teju: yeah sure

Karan: why did you left from Goa all of sudden? You still feel....
