I understood what Maa was trying to at the dining table. She wanted me to take Ruth out for a date and so did I. Our first date was just a meet which we did so that we get comfortable around each other but now we are a married couple. Don't couples do these kind on stuff?
Sidha sidha bolna ki tujhe bhi date pe jana hai!My subconscious mind mocked me.
I was waiting for Ruth at the doorstep. We always go to our workplaces by our own car, so I wasn't waiting for her to leave for work together. I was waiting for her to ask her something. I was in my thoughts, thinking how to ask her.
"Oh. You didn't leave?" She said.
"I wanted to ask you something."
She looked at me with curiosity, waiting for me to ask her and I struggled to speak.
"Umm...what time would you get off work today?" I asked.
"Probably by 7:30. Why?"
"Let's have dinner together."
I said that without even looking at her and quickly walked towards my car. These things make me nervous, like asking someone on a dinner or a date but she makes it worse. The words don't roll of my tongue and I can't seem to look her in the eye. Is it because I haven't dated anyone for a long time or am I getting old?
As I was walking, I was getting more and more anxious because Ruth didn't say anything regarding the dinner. She didn't even oppose the idea of us having dinner. I looked at my side, thinking about all those thoughts and saw that Ruth wasn't by my side. I turned around to see that she hasn't budged from her spot. She was looking at me without blinking her eyes and her cheeks were red. Maybe she was zoning out.
"We can have dinner, right?" I asked.
"Ye-Yes, we can." She said.
A smile made its way to my lips when I heard her agree to the dinner. I was constantly looking at her but she was looking around, never once looking at me ever since she said 'Yes'. As I started to walk backwards, without moving my eyes from her, she hurriedly walked towards her car and sat on the drivers seat. I chuckled looking at her and sat down in my car as well.
Just when I entered the building of my company, everyone made way for me and greeted me as I walked past them. I walked into the lift which was only for my use. As I was alone in the lift, I started thinking about today's dinner.
I should definitely buy some flowers.
But which one? I don't even know her favorite flower!
Roses! All girls love roses.
But what if she doesn't like roses?
"Good morning, sir." I came out of the trance as I heard my PA greet me.
