PETALS OF LOVE

12.The meet-up

Author's POV

It was Friday,the PT day.The PT has just ended a few minutes ago.Now everyone is already in the entrance of the school,so that they can go home.

"Okay then, let's meet at 7 pm!"Trisha said excitedly

Today was the day when Ruhi's parent were finally going to meet the Malhotras.

"Toh Ankit tum bhi aaoge"Naina said to Ankit

"Mein kya karunga waha?"He asked hesitantly

"Tumhe aana padega bas!"Trisha said and walked away from there with Naina, Aryan,and Raz

"Tum na aane ka bahana kyu kar rahe the? tumhe pata hai tum sab jagah jaoge jaha meri family jayegi"Ruhi asked raising her eyebrows

"But-"

"No buts,ab mereko coffee date pe le chalo"They sat on his bike and he started it

"Do you know that I'm going to meet my online friend tomorrow!"She said

"Wahi friend jisse tum do saal se baat kar rahi ho but tumne kabhi use nahi dekha?"She nodded with excitement

He thought he was lucky to have her, obviously he was.She was the sunshine to his dark life.So he chose to be her sunshine protector.
He promised himself that he will always protect her.

But only he was not lucky to have her,she was too.He had been a miracle to her life.She never had any female friends because people thought she was rude.

C'mon, being a good student and a teacher's pet doesn't mean that the person is a rude person.But Ruhi wasn't that soft hearted girl either,she maintained distance from everyone and only stayed with her brother and best friends.

But Ankit brought a real smile to her face,she tends to be happy whenever she is with him.He is like a happy pill for her.

The couple that are made for each other,the lost puzzles, each other's breath and many more.

They soon reached the cafe,it had a little Library that's why it was Ruhi's favourite cafe.They both entered inside and took a seat.

"Huh, finally I'm meeting her after 2 years of talking!"She exclaimed clapping her hands while he smiled looking at her all being excited

"I'm happy for you!"He said taking her hands in his

She smiled at him and looked at the menu,her hands still in his.

Ruhi's eyes scanned the menu, her brow furrowed in concentration. Ankit's hand, intertwined with hers, felt a gentle squeeze.

"What's catching your eye, Ruhi?" Ankit asked, his voice low and soothing.

Ruhi's gaze lifted, meeting Ankit's warm smile. "I'm torn between the chocolate cake and strawberry waffles."

Ankit chuckled. "You know I'll get both if it makes you happy."

Ruhi playfully rolled her eyes. "You're going to make me gain weight."

Ankit's eyes sparkled. "You're perfect just the way you are."

The cafe's soft music and gentle hum provided a cozy backdrop for their intimate moment.

Ruhi's cheeks flushed as she returned to the menu. "I'll have the waffles. And you?"

"The same," Ankit replied and called the waiter"Two strawberry waffles And two cappuccinos, please."

As they ordered, their hands remained intertwined, a symbol of their connection.
