Around 7 pm, Adishh stood patiently outside the hospital, glancing at his watch as Adhya finally arrived.

"Do we have an extra 30 minutes?" she asked with a hint of urgency.

"Yes, but why?" Adishh questioned, a bemused expression on his face.

"I can't show up for my date looking like this. Just give me 30 minutes to change my outfit," she pleaded, a touch of vulnerability in her eyes.

"No need to be this dramatic," he teased, playfully pinching her cheeks.

Adishh drove towards their apartment, intent on a quick refresh. After precisely 30 minutes, he knocked on Adhya's door.

"Come soon, we're getting late," he called out.

"Coming, coming," she replied, and the door slowly opened.

There she stood, a vision in red – an above-the-knee dress accentuating her figure. The pearl earrings framed her face, complementing her opened hair that cascaded effortlessly. The subtle glow of confidence in her eyes matched the shine of her black heels. Adishh, momentarily forgetting to breathe, couldn't help but be captivated by the allure of his girl.

"Do I look overdressed?" she questioned, her eyes reflecting a blend of confusion and a hint of self-consciousness.

Her presence was magnetic, and Adishh, with a genuine smile, reassured her, Absolutely stunning

"No, not at all, my adorable Boo bear. You're so beautiful; I could just gobble you up," he grinned, playfully bending down to her eye level.

Adhya giggled and gently hit his forehead. "Boo bear? You're turning into quite the flirty boy," she teased, her eyes dancing with affection.

"I'm just admiring my amazing girlfriend, showering her with cute pet names and love. No road romeo here, just a good boy in love with my darling," he chuckled, his gaze filled with admiration.

"Ufffff, Adishh, who knew my silent boy had such a cute side! Now, come on, we're getting late for our adorable night out," she said, pulling him along with a playful twinkle in her eyes.

While driving, Adhya couldn't contain her curiosity, "So, what's the plan for tonight? Just dinner, or are you secretly plotting something more?"

Adishh grinned, playing along, "Well, we officially started dating yesterday; I don't want to speed things up."

"Nonsense! I should maintain some distance from this guy," Adhya chuckled, raising an eyebrow in playful mock. "I was asking about other plans—maybe a movie or some shopping?"

He reached for her hand, "Hey, hey, no distance, nothing. I need you by my side all the time, forever, no compromise."

She couldn't help but smile, "So then be like the good boys okay?"

"Okay, I'll be a good boy and limit my flirting to colleagues and patients" he teased.

A mock gasp escaped her, "I will seriously consider a breakup if you take that step," she said, her eyes twinkling with laughter, creating a cute and affectionate atmosphere as they continued their drive.

"Okay, okay, this Adishh is reserved exclusively for Adhya. Now, let's get down; we've reached the restaurant." He graciously opened the door, extending a helping hand for her to step out.

"My Adi is always the best," she exclaimed, thoroughly impressed by his thoughtful gesture. They entered the restaurant, where a corner table awaited, setting the stage for a complete candlelit dinner experience.

The warm glow of flickering candles cast a gentle ambiance, dancing shadows on the tablecloth. Soft instrumental melodies played in the background, creating a symphony of romance. The air was filled with the fragrance of delicate flowers strategically placed on the table.

Their table boasted fine white linen, gleaming silverware, and crystal-clear glasses. The dim lighting accentuated the sparkle in Adhya's eyes as she took in the enchanting setting. It was more than just dinner; it was a scene straight out of a romantic novel, where every detail spoke the language of love.

Arranged neatly on the table were the offerings of their evening:

1. Caprese Skewers
2. Stuffed Mushrooms

2. Chicken Marsala
3. Vegetarian Lasagna Rolls

Adhya couldn't help but admire the display before her. "My boyfriend has impeccable taste; everything looks delicious. It's as if you've been on many dates before," she teased, a playful glint in her eyes.

"Never, this is my first date," Adishh confirmed, his words sincere.

"Ha ha, I believe you, but this looks so romantic," she added, acknowledging the effort he put into creating an enchanting atmosphere for their first date. The scene was set for a night filled with delightful flavors and the warmth of their budding connection.

As Adhya indulged in her meal, Adishh found joy in simply watching her. "Don't look at me like that; I might get a stomach ache," she playfully teased.

"No worries, I'm a doctor," he replied, a twinkle in his eye, savoring the moment.

"You have an amazing taste in food, Adi. These food dates should be a regular thing; I want to explore more," she suggested, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

Adishh, addressing her with affection, responded, "Hello to be Mrs. Adishh, I'm still trying to settle down. Look at my budget."

Amid the playful banter, Adhya whispered to herself, "Oh, stop with the sweet talk. I can't control the butterflies in my stomach."

"Hello to be my future one," he responded, "I know about your situation. I'm not demanding fancy meals all the time. If you're running short on money, we have my salary. I'm not that typical girlfriend; I can even pay the bill." Her words carried a mix of sincerity and warmth, creating an emotional and heartwarming connection between them.

As they concluded their meal, a hint of sweetness lingered in the air, matching the warmth between Adhya and Adishh. With a contented sigh, Adhya looked into Adishh's eyes and suggested, "I think it's time to head back; I've got some pending work."

Adishh, sharing a knowing smile, agreed, "Yes, I have a few things to take care of too."

Amidst the subtle hum of the restaurant, Adhya spoke with a tender optimism, "You know, Adi, moments like these make me excited about our future. Balancing work, sharing meals, and simply being together—it feels like a beautiful glimpse into what lies ahead for us."

Adishh, touched by her words, reached for her hand. "Absolutely, Adhya. Our future is painted with these simple yet precious moments—work, laughter, and unwavering support. I eagerly anticipate every chapter of it with you."

With a shared understanding of the journey ahead, they left the restaurant, the promise of a beautiful future echoing in the air as they stepped into the night, hand in hand.
