Everywhere she turns, It was surprising, But none of them impressed her as he did. Nothing made her happier than he did. She could feel the child in him who acts like a matured person but inside, He's the same child who can't live without her. They stepped into the restaurant. Surprisingly! There were only 4 people in that whole restaurant which dimmed in the candlelight. He let her go forward and waited behind her to see her reaction.

"Beautiful." - She whispered to him, He smiled, He was relieved that his every effort brings back the smile in her face. She took the seat After naina and Arush took in the baby seat. Naina sat next to shivaay and Arush was in-between Anika and shivaay in the round table set.

"I should have dressed up for this treat." - Anika said gazing her casual top and denim jeans pouting her lips sadly.

"You look perfect whatever you wear. Looks don't judge the personality, Especially not yours." - He said, Her eyes got widened, Her heartbeat fluctuated. None could give you comfort than your partners. It's just your partner thing to make you feel like a queen of the earth.

"Okay, If it continues, I have to live with this pink cheeks for the rest of my life, I guess." - She said and took the menu from his hand. Her eyes again flickered in surprise when she found her name in every dish like she used to call. She used to call, Her favorite food in every cuisine listed in that menu. Her eyes welled up.

"Madam, First order. We all are starving here." - He said.

"You noticed everything." - She replied with the same welled up eyes.

"I was a very secretive, Introvert, and dumb person. Do you agree?" - He asked her. She nodded while wiping her tears with her hands. Seeing her in that state, He again got welled up recalling the moment, How he ignored and hurted her every time.

"What happened to you?" - She asked chuckling with welled-up eyes.

"Nothing. Order." - He asked.

"What's there in Anika's birthday meal. It didn't have any details." - She said showing the menu card to him.

"It's a surprise meal. Just order." - He asked. She smiled and ordered the dish. Within ten minutes, Her dish arrived. He asked her to guess, She tried saying all her favorite dish leaving one dish neglecting. He heaved out the breath and asked her to open it. The moment she opened it, Her breath choked, Her eyes welled up.

"Alo puri..." - She asked him.

"Yes. Remember our first night of the wedding in the hospital." - He asked her, She couldn't think about anything but immersed herself in that moment. On her wedding date, She kept fast for the whole day as a ritual, and also she had no mood to have any when she got the news that her mom getting operated that night. Even though she was hell-broken from the inside, Nobody cared to console her.

But shivaay did, Even he didn't know anything about her situation. But his consoling voice and words gave her strength. And when he parked his car before the hospital on their way to her in-law's house, She got her own heartbeat back. He stayed with her whole night hugging her sidewards when she looked at the operation theatre with hope. Over then, He got that food from the hospital canteen at the time of two in the morning.

"This is what I could able to find in the night. Have it, Wifey. Remember, This day officially should be the first night of our marriage, As a good wife, Have whatever I feed you." - He said when she denied eating. But eventually, She ate it. Whatever he fed. Even took a piece and fed him, He smilingly ate it. That was their first dinner date together, Even she wasn't in the position or feel the happiness, She smiled and felt happy only because of him. From that day, The dish, Alo Puri, Became her most favorite dish.
