She had placed a candle on the kitchen island with rose petals as well, a letter on the side I usually sit at

"Sit manik" she says

"I will help" I mumble

"no, sit please" she mumbles

i sit down on the chair and she hands me a little box with a bow on it.

"Whats this?" I ask

"A box" she giggles

"Sweet I can it's a box but what is inside of it?" I ask

"Shhh you ask way too many questions, I think I am rubbing off on you. Open it" she says grabbing bowls of food placing them in the middle

i opened the box and found a key chain inside, grabbing it out I look at the beautiful picture of all of us, cabir, navya, nandini and I from the wedding. I turned it around and there was a little button, I pressed it and it made my heart so full and swell

'Drive safe please, we all love you' the words light up

No one has ever even said that to me so for her to get me something so meaningful, I can't even think straight right now

"You know you don't look as old as your licence states" she mumbles

"You know I am 26 now, I already told you that"

"Yeah but boy that licence picture, it looks like a mugshot" she teases and I swear she is the only person on this earth that can tease me, anyone else would have lost a tooth by now

"Mugshot? A bad one?"

"Oh no no, you look so hot" she says serving us food

It was all my favourite, Indian chinese, dumplings, noodles, chicken Manchurian, fried rice, Szechwan chicken and some spring rolls.

as I took a bite of the chicken I realized it was different, definitely good different but this isn't from that one restaurant we both like, I then tried a bite of all the things and except for the dumplings and spring rolls, everything else tasted different

"Baby is this from a different restaurant?" I ask

"I knew it, I knew it was bad, I should have stuck with getting it from a restaurant but I just wanted to cook something for you but I should have picked up the rest of the suff along wiht dumplings and spring rolls. I am so stupid" she rambles on

"You cooked this?" I ask

"It's bad, I know. Mhm leave it I will order it from that restaurant" she rambles grabbing her phone

"Stop, nandini baby you are rambling on, just breath and listen to me" I grab her arm stopping her

"Im sorry, I didn't wanna ruin this, I just thought id cook something yummy for you" she whispers

i chuckle at her nervousness pulling her onto my lap

"You need to relax a little nandini, it's not bad, it's actually amazing, really good. It jsut tasted a good different so I was wondering"

'So you do like it?" She asks

"Yes I do, I love it. It's better than the restaurant" I kiss her cheeks

"You are lying?"

"No, I am being very very honest"

"You promise?"

"I promise darling, come on lets eat" I say pulling her closer

She giggles making me smile as I keep her in my arms. We ate while talking about some randoms stuff but my heart was so full, I swear this little girl has outdone herself for sure
