His love

chapter 12. At restaurant

Naina was wearing a beautiful red Anarkali dress that looked elegant and flowed nicely. Her hair was styled neatly with matching hair accessories that shone. She was also wearing matching jewelry, including earrings, a necklace, and bangles, which added to her lovely appearance.

Advait was wearing a normal shirt with rolled-up sleeves, featuring a stylish black and blue contrast. The rolled sleeves gave him a casual yet neat look, perfect for any occasion. The contrasting colors added a touch of flair to his simple outfit, making him look effortlessly cool and comfortable.

They were looking at each other as if they were the last two people on earth, their eyes filled with deep affection and intensity. But suddenly, the music sound shifted their gaze from each other.

Advait was stunned; he had never seen Naina in traditional wear or anything other than office attire. Seeing her now, in the beautiful red Anarkali, filled him with a new sense of admiration and love. His heart swelled with emotion as he realized just how beautiful she was.

They both stepped inside the restaurant, which was fully decorated with a red theme. Red roses adorned the space, and tables were covered with red tablecloths, creating a romantic atmosphere, adding to the special feeling of the evening.

Naina's eyes widened, and she thought, "Is this done by him? But why did he suddenly do this? The decorations are quite... no, no, no, very, very beautiful. I can't take my eyes off them."

They both sat at their booked table. Naina tried to calm herself and expressed, "Thanks for making this night more beautiful; it means a lot to me." She lowered her head as she was a little shy.

Advait was confused about her sudden words. He smiled a bit and nodded, saying, "I'm glad you liked it."

As this went further, Advait asked Naina to order, and with a little excitement, she said, "How about we both order so that we can eat each other's favorite food?"

Advait nodded, and they ordered food together.

While they were both waiting for their order, the restaurant manager came and announced the special setup for the evening.

"I'm here to gladly announce that all this decoration was requested by Mr. Gupta for his and his wife's wedding anniversary. Let's welcome them." Saying this, he came towards Advait and said, "Your friend arranged all this; I hope you enjoy it too, Mr. Rajput."

Advait smiled and let him go.

Naina was stunned to realize that these decorations were not for her, and she felt embarrassed about it.

"I thought it was all done by Mr. Rajput and even said lovely words to him. Why did I even think he did everything for me? Why, Naina, why? Now look at yourself; you're totally embarrassed. What are you going to do? What are you going to say? But wait, he said 'I'm glad you liked it.' Why did he say that? Why did he lie?"

Naina's expression went from excited to distant and reserved. Now, she seemed completely withdrawn. Throughout their meal, Advait tried to talk to her about their accomplishments and future plans. He spoke with enthusiasm, hoping to cheer her up, but she mostly nodded politely or answered briefly and professionally. She seemed distracted, not really interested in the conversation, occasionally looking at her food without much appetite, lost in her thoughts.

When Advait saw Naina suddenly become reserved and distant, he was taken aback and started to feel frustrated. He couldn't understand why her mood had changed so drastically all of a sudden. Despite his confusion, he decided not to dwell on it, assuming it could be something personal bothering her.

On the other hand, Naina felt weird and made an excuse to leave the place to save herself from further embarrassment.

"I'm not feeling well; I think I should take my leave now," she said and walked away.

Advait asked, "Should I drop you at home?"

She refused and walked away.

At Home

When Naina reached home, she felt embarrassed and went directly to her room. There, she saw her sketching materials and started drawing meaningless lines, reflecting her frustration. Although she knew there was nothing special between her and Advait, she began blaming herself for mistakenly viewing a simple dinner as something significant.

"I'm so stupid to think like this. Why would he make such a meaningful gesture for you, Naina? Why did you even think that way? You know you guys aren't special, so why did you think like this?" She let out a heavy sigh.

She paced around her room, trying to figure out how to move past this situation. That's when Advait's words struck her: "I'm glad you liked it."

"Wait! Why did he say that? Why did he lie? Was he trying to... no, no, why would he do that? But then why did he say that?" Overthinking grabbed her attention, leading her to sit next to her bed.she begun to remember how someone lied to her , how that person made her feel .

"You need to remember, Naina, you can't just start liking someone randomly. Wait, do I like him? Hah!? No, no. I don't like him. There's a rule. The rule of *NEVER FALL IN LOVE WITH A STRANGER."
