Yuvaan's voice was laced with concern as he asked, "Now, tell me what you want to eat, Ashvi." But instead of responding, Ashvi shot him a sideways glance, her eyes narrowing into slits. Yuvaan chuckled and teased, "Are you feeling hungry, na? You always get hungry after crying, right?" Ashvi bit her tongue, shaking her head in denial, but Yuvaan knew her too well. It was her quirky habit - tears always seemed to awaken her appetite.

Ashvi tried to protest, "I'm not hungry, I just ate a few hours ago. Look, it's already 1 a.m."

But Yuvaan wasn't buying it.

"Liar, you're feeling hungry but lying," he accused with a grin. He knew she couldn't resist food, especially after an emotional outburst.

Yuvaan's expression turned gentle as he reassured her, "Don't think you're troubling me, we're your friends, yaar. Come, let's go to the kitchen and see if something's still kept there." He held out his hand,

and Ashvi's words caught in her throat as she tried to resist. "Yuvaan, no...I'm not..." But her stomach betrayed her, growling softly.

Yuvaan's eyes glared at her, his gaze sparkling with amusement.

"Don't try to hide it, Ashvi. I know you too well." He tugged her hand, leading her towards the kitchen, and Ashvi couldn't help but follow, her hunger and emotions getting the better of her.

As they entered the kitchen, Ashvi's curiosity got the better of her, and she asked, "How do you know about my this weird habit """

Yuvaan's smirk was contagious, and he playfully wiggled his fingers, saying, "I know black magic." Ashvi couldn't help but chuckle, and her small smile brought a sense of peace to Yuvaan's face. He felt a warmth in his heart, knowing that he could still make her smile despite her emotional turmoil.

As he opened the freezer, Yuvaan muttered to himself, "I should have learned how to cook." He scanned the contents, disappointed to find only fruits and leftovers from a previous meal. " realizing that his culinary skills were lacking. He wished he could whip up something comforting for Ashvi, but his cooking abilities were limited to basic survival skills.

Yuvaan turned to face Ashvi, a determined glint in his eye. "What do you want to eat? I'll cook it," he said, trying to sound confident. Ashvi raised an eyebrow, folding her hands across her chest. "You know cooking?" she asked, her tone laced with skepticism. Yuvaan hesitated, admitting, "A little bit." He didn't want to reveal his culinary limitations.

Ashvi smiled and began to pick up some vegetables to chop, saying, "Don't worry, Yuvaan, I'll cook myself. Thank you for even thinking about me." But Yuvaan wouldn't let her take control. He gently took the knife and vegetables from her hands, his fingers brushing against hers. "First of all, stop saying thank you and sorry. It's irritating me the most, Ashvi," he teased, trying to lighten the mood.

"I told you, I'll cook. You just tell me how to make the recipe," Yuvaan said, his eyes sparkling with determination. He wanted to take care of Ashvi, to show her that he was there for her. Now and always...

"Tell me what you want to eat," Yuvaan asked again, his eyes sparkling with determination.

Ashvi thought for a moment, knowing that Yuvaan was stubborn and would do what he wanted to do. "I'll have...veg noodles," she said finally, hoping that he wouldn't mess it up. They were already in the kitchen, surrounded by the utensils and ingredients, and Yuvaan was eager to start cooking.

Yuvaan's face lit up with excitement. "Veg noodles, done! I'll make the best vegetable noodles you've ever had," he promised, already reaching for the wok. Ashvi smiled, feeling a warmth in her heart, as she watched him begin to stir-fry the colorful mix of vegetables - bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, and onions.
