SIDHARTH POV

"What would you like to order sir?" The butler asks me.

"Chutagi, Tingmo, apricot jam and butter tea. For two. Me and that madam." I say pointing Sana. She is sitting with her girl friends.

"Okay sir. And the rest of them?" He asks, moving his eyes around the room.

"Ask them. They'll order their own." I say giving back the menu card.

"Sure sir." He nods, and goes back inside the kitchen taking our order.

I look at Sana again. She is busy on the phone. The way her fingers are moving I can tell she is typing something. Maybe messaging me to ask what I have ordered for us for Dinner.

I still can't believe what Sana did at lunch time. I was sitting with some boys and she was sitting with her girl friends and Karan's girlfriend. I wasn't sitting with her but my eyes were on her. Most of the time.

I saw, as her pasta was served on table her face fell. Even when I especially ordered her favorite spicy chicken with red sauce pasta. The next moment she gets up from her chair and comes to me. I was confused about what happened to her. What does she need now?

She came to me and asked politely, "Can we talk for a minute, professor?"

She always talks respectfully with me when she is in her role as my student. Or we are at college and people are watching us.

I asked her if she has any problems. She said yes. When I asked what? She asked me to come in a corner to talk alone. At first, I thought she wanted to talk sometime about us. After all, she was upset with that luggage bag thing. For me, she got one bag and half of the items she had brought.

But to my shock she said, "Don't you think we are. I mean, you and me at least should eat the Ladakh special foods. Their traditional food? I mean we have these in Mumbai but we won't get their traditional food no? So, can you order something local for me? And for you as well? Only if you want to eat."

Hearing her words I smiled proudly. I ordered regular foods, they mostly eat as I thought maybe they won't like their traditional food.

I told her, how much I'm proud of her. She smiled with glee. Then I asked her to go back to her place and told her I'll order the same dish I ordered for myself, which is Thukpa.

She got really mad at me when I told her I'm having Thukpa. A classic Ladakhi cuisine. It is a clear soup with vegetables and noodles made of wheat or barley flour. This dish also often contains meat such as pieces of chicken, mutton or yak. I ordered the chicken one.

But she eventually melted when I promised her to meet at night. I asked her to come into my room after everyone went back their respective rooms. I especially team up the students in a way that, Sana and I and her girl friends and their boyfriends can spend time with each other. If they want. I laughed when Sana called me a smart-ass professor for it.

She is crazy.

"Ping"

Her message. I quickly take out my phone to check.

PRINCESS 🩷- WHAT DID YOU ORDERED FOR US, BEBE?

I quickly replied to her back.

Me- Chutagi, Tingmo, Apricot jam and Butter Tea.

I can see three dots moving means she is typing something. Next moment her message pops up.

PRINCESS 🩷- WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE? THESE NAMES ARE SO WEIRD.
