Sanjana's POV:

I quickly dressed in the first outfit I found in my wardrobe. As I was going out my friends blocked my path looking at me from head to toe.

"Miss Sanjana Saxena, where the fuck do you think you are going at this hour?", shouted Tara examining me and making me nervous

"Miss Sanjana Saxena, where the fuck do you think you are going at this hour?", shouted Tara examining me and making me nervous.

I told them that Akshath was waiting downstairs and would take me for dinner. They looked at me as if I had grown two heads.

They looked outside and found him waiting for me.

"And why are you going out with that Khadoos?", asked Piggy giving him a new nickname. "He asked me to join him for dinner as I gifted him a painting",  I replied to my friends. "Oh the same painting you worked on over this weekend?", asked Sam raising an eyebrow and I nodded. 

"Okay, give me his mobile number so that we can call him if you are late and keep it as a backup", said Tara and I handed them his mobile number and went downstairs.

He looks handsome leaning against the Car. Oh my god, what was I even thinking complimenting him? No Sanjana you cannot do it. I told myself and sat beside him in the car.

We reached a small diner where a middle-aged man greeted us. We sat in a corner and the diner looks very cosy and warm. "Akshath beta, it's been so long since you visited us. You forgot me?", asked the man. "It's nothing like that Ramu kaka (Uncle), I was just busy with work", replied Akshath.

In the past few days, I came to know a lot about Akshath through newspapers, gossip, and social media accounts created by our campus students unofficially. He is a man of few words and does not entertain anyone. So him taking me out for dinner is quite surprising. But you liked it mocked my subconscious.

Ramu uncle came back to take our orders. "Akshath beta, do you want to have your usual?", Uncle asked him. He did not say anything and forwarded the menu to me. As usual, my food fever took over and I ordered almost all the items that I found interesting and new from the menu.  

My order arrived and I saw that Akshath did not order anything. I asked him if he wanted anything and he did not answer. So I forwarded my least favorite dishes on the table to him and he started eating. After tasting all the delicious dishes, I was quite full. And I saw that plenty of dishes were remaining on the table.

I looked at Akshath and he was looking right back at me. I requested him to complete the remaining food and he just nodded and started to eat all the leftover food. He asked Ramu uncle to pack the leftover food and ordered some takeout as well.

In the car, while we were heading back to dorm, I asked him why he did not order the food. "I know that you cannot complete all the dishes", he answered my question in a single sentence. So he already knew that I would ask him to complete the leftover dishes so that is why he did not order food for himself. I smiled internally knowing that he actually cares and understands me enough.
