Ishaan's POV

I took her to the thela. It's been a while I have eaten this street food stuff. I remember mom and chachi making me and aadi eat this, but we didn't really like it. When we grew up, we always had fancy restaurants to visit instead of having street food. At one point our dad made us believe that it was poisonous to have it. I never had any particular hate for it, but I didn't like it either. Its unhygienically made.

But if we talk about my wife, she seemed really happy when I brought her here. As I analysed the area, I saw there were 5 flavours of pani bhay they have upgraded since the last time I saw. Then there were more stalls like bhelpuri, ice cream, momos and what not. Indian people are insane when it comes to street food. These people be providing so much quantity for just 50 rupees.

"Ok so sabse pehle hum pani wali khayenge and phir dahi wali. Theek hai?" Samaira said bringing me out of my analysis on street food. I'll write a report on it for sure.

"Khayenge nahi khaungi. I am not having this."

"Ishaan ji this is not fair aap leke aaye hai to khana bhi padega." And she gave me one of her cute looks. Ya I have a list of her cute looks. This is for making me agree on every single thing.

"Tara, I get sick after eating this."

"Fine, mat khayein." Is she mad again?

She started to eat, and I was just watching her mixed reaction on every single flavour. After 2 flavours, she brought the third one nearly to my mouth. I could literally smell the flavour, then I looked at her. She was looking like a baby. Ok fine! I took that piece in my mouth and crushed it with my teeth. The water came in touch with my tongue, and I closed my eyes. It was so mesmerizingly tasty and flavourful.

"Dekhiye ab acting mat kariye. Pata hai mujhe acha lag raha hai aapko. Haina?" I looked at her and then chuckled.

"Haa madam ji bohot acha hai" I said in midst off eating the stuff.

"Bhaiya inko bhi khila do bohot nakhre karte hai. Extra mirchi daldena."

Shes so pretty when she speaks and her eyes sparkle. I just took the plate from the guy and had all the 5 flavours. Delicious. I felt better than my restaurants. After having these pani puris she ordered for a plate of dahi patasi and I have no idea what that is.

The plate came up with sukhi puris topped with dahi and more stuff. This thing was cool and kind of sweet- sour. It was such a great thing to eat after the spicy waters.

I was about to take one piece and eat it, but I forwarded it to her mouth. She already had one in her mouth, so it was like stuffed and she pouted at me when I offered her another. She took that piece in her mouth, and I never felt this happy. We finished the plate and there was some leftover chutney and dahi left in the plate.

"Isko fekna mat mujhe dedoo" I curiously forwarded the plate, and she drank all that. Ah, ok?

"Bhaiya 2 sukhi puri dedo." Now what is this

He gave us 2 puris stuffed with that potato masala and some salt. So, this thing is supposed to be free?

After paying for our DATE, I went to her, and she softly pulled the sleeve of my shirt like a child. She pointed towards the softy, and I smiled.

"Chalo jiski wajah se tumne mujhe itna ignore kiya wo bhi dila hi deta hu."

"Haww itna ignore kya. Aapne baat kari mujhse?"
