61. Relations and Transparency

In universe where it's just us!

Nivedya clapped his hands and the glass room was illuminated with fairy lights. "Wow!" To say, Nimrit was impressed would be an understatement. She twirled with glee making Nivedya want to embrace her tightly in his arms. "This is so beautiful," she exclaimed with wonderment in her kohled eyes.

Nivedya wanted to say the cliched line 'not as much as you' but he remembered Aadya's advice to "be original", so he kept quiet and admired the gorgeous face of the girl who called him love.

He made Nimrit sit on a recliner chair and occupied the seat next to her. He took special permission from his father and called the andro-humanoid "Gene".

"Hello, gorgeous. I am Genesis, Gene for short. Nice meeting you." Gene shook hands with Nimrit who was spellbound to see a robot for the first time. "Uh! Don't look at me like Nivi looks at you when you exercise."

Nimrit couldn't understand the reference the robot used and Nivedya couldn't give it a chance to explain. He cut it short and asked it to set the projector screen. Genesis used her laser vision and the glass wall was converted into a projector screen. Nimrit was amazed at the high-tech date she was at.

"Dear Nimrit, this one is for you..." The message appeared on the screen and Nimrit held a cushion close to her preparing herself to see the most beautiful video of her life.

A series of pictures of Nimrit that Nivedya captured with and without her permission flashed on the screen. The photographs were beautiful, silly, and candid but the background music was the soul-soothing sound of Nivedya's flute. There was also a video of Nimrit enacting as Nivedya in front of the triple-A. Nimrit was shocked to see the video because they were making fun of the boys and acting like them. She covered her eyes with embarrassment and Nivedya just wanted to gobble up the cute marshmallow in front of him.

The video ended with pictures of them in the glass room. They had made funny boomerangs, captured food falling from the mouth, and also a moment when they were lost in the eyes of each other.

"I love you, Nimrit like no simile or metaphor could ever describe." The sound of the flute faded with the last message that popped on the screen and gradually the dark room was illuminated once again.

Nimrit was silent, falling short of words to describe her feelings for the most knockout video she had ever seen. She jumped off her chair and hugged Nivedya as tightly as she could. He reciprocated the hug with equal fervour. The barren lands were filled with a fresh rainshower of love and devotion.

In moments of amor, emotions transition quickly. Nimrit was feeling overwhelmed after watching the video but soon the strong smell of Nivedya's perfume hit her nostrils and she drowned in its fragrance. The hug was no longer tight but loose. Nimrit's hands felt the strong shoulder blades of her boyfriend which according to her was so sexy. Nivedya had put his heart into making the video and he felt accomplished with the rewarding hug.

"Dinner time, sweethearts." Gene broke the moment and set the dinner for them.

Nimrit flinched hearing Gene's voice because she was lost in the ginger-woody aroma of her lover and was not prepared to hear any other voice than his.

"Hey, Gene, don't scare my girlfriend," Nivedya warned the robot and helped Nimrit get up from above him. They sat at the white-coloured rot iron, round two-seater table that had just three items on the menu. Their favourite cheesy pasta, wood-fired pizza, and sandwiches.

Nimrit was hungry and she helped Nivedya serve dinner. Gene was dismissed from duty for the complete privacy the couple required.

Just as Amber wanted it, Nivedya and Nimrit were having dinner like two friends and not lovers. Teenage love is different from adult love. You say things to each other without using any filters and the response is organic too.
