" Get ready by 7 and wear something comfortable "

Amal saw the text when she was coming back from the hospital and smiled.

Dressed in white shalwar kameez she did minimal amount of makeup and wore her shoes when she heard the bell ring at exact 7 . Such a punctual man he is she thought rolling her eyes , opening the door she saw him clad in his office attire assuming he came straight from office.

" Salam "

She murmured, he didn't reply lost in her brown eyes she cleared her throat and he got back from his thoughts and mumbled Salam back.

Chale? he said

"Jii"

The car journey went by a comfortable silence it was month of January she pulled her sweater closer to herself noticing her shivering he turned on the heater on max. Reaching the place where he reserved the entire restaurant so no one can disturb them he parked the car and went to open the door for her.

The view was mesmerizing looking at the beach from where they were seated, she thought.

The view was mesmerizing he thought looking at her.

They placed their orders and started talking , Amal started talking about her day while he listened she told him how there were so many patients but at the end of day she was done.

Do you remember how used to cry when zain or the others would make you cry and how you would come running to me complaining about them he said and smiled.

"Nahi tu I don't remember crying",she said.

"Nahi I remember you used to cry every second ."

"Stop lying",she glared at him.

He burst out laughing and smiled.

His laugh is beautiful she thought looking at him.

"Acha chalo nahi roti thi man liya he smiled, are you done so we can leave?"

Yes I am , but can we take a walk near the beach she said smiling hope in her eyes.

It was cold outside but he also couldn't say no to her so he toke of his jacket and placed it on her shoulders while going outside.

They were talking about random stuff when Amal squealed and left his hands.

"Aww look at this cute kitty" she crouchs down, running her fingers through its fur as it purrs in satisfaction.

"It's so cute take a picture before it runs away"

He chuckled in amusment before doing as she said.

She straightened before turning to him, finding his eyes locked on the screen with a dazed look.
"What's wrong? Did the picture turn out bad?", she asked.
He shook his head slightly before murmuring " I can't get over how adorable you look."

"You're so stupid", she whispered quietly, cheecks blushing furiously as she looked down.

He tipped her chin up and looked into her eyes showing his dimpled grin, "Stupidly in love with you darling."
