Road Not Taken ✔

Chapter 38

Next day I woke up . It is Sunday morning so , I decide to walk up in the park because the weather is quite cool and breezy . I walk up to the park and sit on the bench . I see an elderly couple sitting on a bench near me. This elderly couple look so adorable as the old man plucks a rose from a plant and he tucks it into his wife's hair lovingly. Aww...this elderly couple is so cute . I wish I could spend my life with such caring and loving life partner . May be Chirag and I could spend our life together happily like this elderly couple  . Argh...what am I thinking . I am just  17 yr old and I am already  thinking of spending my life with Chirag . Then my phone rang breaking my chain of thoughts.

Chirag was calling on my phone .I thought why is Chirag calling  me this early that too on Sunday , then I picked up the call quickly . Chirag wished me good morning then he said " If you are free today then we could out for coffee in the evening at 5 pm". I thought for a second then I said a yes .Yippee! Chirag is taking me  on a coffee date , Uff...now  I am so nervous , I thought to myself . Argh.....why am I  thinking like a typical gf . Chirag is not only my bf  but  best friend too so, I don't need to be nervous around Chirag when we go for coffee or something, I reasoned to myself.

Then I returned home . I took a long shower and  I ate some cereals for breakfast. After that I visited Nani Nanu and I ate my lunch with them. Nani today made delicious Paneer Butter Masala( Creamy tomato based gravy with paneer cubes) for lunch .I ate the lunch  happily almost licking my fingers as my taste buds  relished the rich buttery Paneer Butter Masala .

Then after lunch I came back to my house . I started watching Netflix series Derry girls . After watching a few episodes , I shut my laptop . Then I got up to choose my outfit . Argh....for the past 15 minutes I am searching and still I can't find something to wear for my coffee date.

After digging up vigorously in my cupboard I finally got my desired attire for the evening. I wore a white off shoulder top paired up with ripped blue jeans and matching white shoes .I completed my look with nude makeup and Beige colour lip gloss. It is 4:30 pm and the sun is still blazing so I took a chic pair of sun glasses with me.

Chirag texted me to come to Aroma Beans Café . Within 30 minutes I reached the café . I saw this café was an open café with elegant furniture and  vibrant surroundings . I saw Chirag was tapping his left foot while waiting for me. As soon as Chirag saw me a smile crept on his face .He immediately got up from his chair and as I reached the table Chirag like a true gentleman dragged out the chair from me. I sat gracefully while a smile made it's way on my face . We both ordered our coffee. I chose White Mocha while Chirag took Frappè .

As we enjoyed the coffee my phone beeped. I looked at it and I saw a message from Cherry"What's brewing up between you two now? Tell me what are both doing right now". Argh ...can't Cherry leave  me in peace for a while. I texted back Cherry " Cherry don't disturb me right now". Then I kept my phone aside as I want to spend time with Chirag. Then it was time to pay the bill . I thought that Chirag would pay the whole  bill himself as this is what boy friends usually do on a date. But to my astonishment Chirag said " If you don't mind Diya  then we can pay the bill in halves ".My heart melted hearing the suggestion . I agreed to it and we paid individually .Chirag is so different from others as he treats me equal to him , he respects me and he is so considerate and humble. He is so perfect, what else do you want Diya , my inner voice spoke to me.

After clearing the bill , Chirag asked me for a bike ride with him. My eyes widened as Chirag was asking me to ride with him on his beloved Bukki. I mean  he  never allows anyone to sit on Bukki but now he is asking me to sit behind him on his bukki . Am  I   so important to him , I thought to myself . As I was lost in my wonderland , Chirag called my name to take me out of my thoughts .
