Zara was nervous when they entered the restaurant. It was full. She wasn't that comfortable in crowd of adults. Kabir smiled at her nervousness and kept on walking to the end.

"Where are we going? I mean sitting area is there, right?" She asked feeling worried when he took her to small staircase. It was dark.

"Don't worry. I won't kill you. You can trust me with that." He said jokingly but wanted to know her reaction.

Could she walk on a dark stairway with him without knowing where they were going?

"Of course, I'm not worried about that. I trust you." Zara replied in a heartbeat and this time his heart skipped a beat.

He stopped for a second which made her stop. She looked at him. The darkness didn't allow them to see each other's faces but then they didn't need to.

"How do you trust me that easily?" He asked his doubt. 

Did she trust everyone that easily? The world is not safe for her then.

"Well you were a respectable senior in college and I have seen you with your Dr. Sanaa. She is good which means you are good too." Zara simply explained her logic.

And Kabir didn't know what to do with this simplicity and innocence. It will be his death one day. Thank God it was dark so she can't see his face.

"So shall we?" This time she asked.

"Yes." He replied and held her hand to guide her out of the darkness.

He thought he was helping her but didn't realise that she was the one helping him come out of his darkness.

"What shall we order?" Kabir asked after they settled.

"Whatever you like; I don't have any favourites." Zara answered with a smile. She was feeling nervous, a lot.

"You don't have any favourites?" Kabir asked raising his eyebrows, feeling surprised as this was the first time he heard that.

"Yeah. Is it weird?" She asked feeling uneasy with his way of asking.

"No. It's just that people have favourite dishes normally; something that they eat more than others." He asked his doubt.

"But doesn't that make you prejudiced? Forming a strict opinion towards something stops you from looking at other things, right? For example; if I start liking one type of pasta then I would order it too much and may be that will stop me from tasting other types which may be tastier than my preferred one. I would miss on something great because of liking something too much." Zara replied truthfully and hoped that he doesn't think her to be some mental person.

Like who even thinks so much before ordering food? He is definitely going to think of me as psycho. Way to make first impression, Zara. She thought and down casted her eyes waiting for the earth to open up and swallow her.

There was silence at the table for a while before waiter came and Kabir ordered for them.

"You don't dislike anything either?" Kabir asked after a while and Zara looked at him feeling confused at his question.

"I mean I get it that you don't like anything in specific but don't you dislike something? Some vegetable or some dish that you might just hate and don't want to eat ever again in your life?" Kabir asked in clear words.
