"My anxiety is getting worse," I say as we walk back from Kotyan's. "I switched from Campus Store to Dadu Ka Dokaan because I feel there would be lesser people and attention."
He just nods and the five of us walk toward FC 2. I sit beside him, sometimes holding his arm and other times, laughing at the things our friends said. After dinner, he gives me the 'I am starving' look, and we excuse ourselves to have some alone time.
"Campus Store, right?" he asks, as we enter Inception.
"But-"
"Don't worry, I'll be there with you."
He follows me toward the aisle of sanitary pads, putting in his inputs and trying to increase his knowledge of the product. As I make my way toward the billing counter, he quickly comes in front and gives me a look. "I know you are feeling uncomfortable, do you want me to purchase these for you?"
I smile at his generosity and shake my head.
"Don't worry too much, these are all college students," he adds and places a hand on my shoulder for support.
"You know, I am going to give you a nice massage to help you with your cramps once we reach Panther," he continues, as we exit the tiny store.
You may think that I only love you for the things you do, Ban, not for who you are. Whatever you do, you always treat me like a princess, and that makes me love you more. I call you for no reason at times because I find your voice so comforting. I cuddle with you at Panther because I love the way you smell. I keep cracking disturbing jokes, because of your priceless expressions. It's not always about your services, Ban, it is also the way you make me feel and the way you treat me.
