I just couldn't stop smiling all the way to the restaurant. I am so happy that I was able to gift dream catcher to Aryan. It's his birthday and I'm much more happier than him.

It's very impressive to know that he has this talent of changing my mood from bad to good in seconds.

Since morning I had this sad pout on my face and regret in my heart for not able to make his day special. Whatever I planned, everything drained out in waters.

But then, Aryan consoled me and understood my emotions. When he said 'It's okay' I felt that right in my heart. Now I have a reason to smile.

Him!

"So, what do you wanna eat?" He asks with a menu in his hand. "Chicken or Paneer"

I bite my lip looking down at my menu. What should I eat? Well I'm craving for both. But I have to choose one.

"Mmm.... tsk. I don't know. You tell me." I say before lifting my head to look at him.

He tugs his lips into a small smile. "Or you want to eat both?"

"Umm... can I?" I tilt my head.

"Ofcourse Cookie." He chuckles. I nod my head and smile wide.

He gives our order to the waitress. After writing our order, she goes back, leaving us both alone.

"So!" He sits back straight with a smirk on his face. He was just waiting for the chance of being alone with me. "You tried baking a cake for me."

I press my lips together before nodding. He chuckles and shakes his head. "So what happened? How did it burnt?" He asks.

"Uhh.... I was in my room. I had left the cake in the oven. And.... I don't know.... actually I was writing something for you. I guess.... it took too long for me to do that and in the meantime my cake burnt." I nervously answered.

He exhale while smiling. "Was it your first time?"

I nod.

"Oh, I guess cooking isn't your thing." He says while nibbling his bottom lip.

I pout and shake my head. "Do you know, how to cook?"

"Mm... just a little bit." He squeezes his eyes.

My lips form O shape. "Nice." I clear my throat before saying. "Actually, Aryan, you know, when I was in the mall buying gift for you...."

I stop when our waitress came back with our starters, that was chilli baby corn.

She goes back after placing our plates. I pick up my fork and awkwardly play with my food. Should I continue what I was saying?

"You were saying something?" Aryan's eyes were fixed on me.

"Oh... yeah.... I was saying that.... I realized there, that I don't know anything about you. I mean your likes, dislikes, hobbies & all.... you know...." I lift my shoulders and tug my lips a bit.

He lets out a small laugh. "Why were you thinking so much for this? Just ask me what you wanna know." He smiles warmly. "Vini, I don't want you to be awkward around me. I don't want to see hesitation in your eyes before asking anything to me. Just ask and I'll answer everything."

"Okayy...." I smile looking down at my food. "Your hobbies?"

"I do a lot of things. I play basketball, football sometimes cricket too. Then... gyming, I like that. Music! I like to listen to music. And.... yeah that's it." He picks his fork and take a bite from his food.
