The post I had read, worked it's charm. It was the lantern to light up my dull thoughts. It appeared to be so accurate at that moment, that I had to act upon it. It made me think that we hadn't gone to a single date in these 5 months. That's ridiculous! I wanted to surprise her too and then seek her help to put my mind's countless queries on hold. I wanted a romantic night with her. Her and me , chocolates, flowers , good food and heartfelt talks. I wanted to cherish her and have a special night with her.

I had taken a leave for today and awaited her arrival at home. I was a nervous wreck. After a lot of contemplation , I had booked an event planner to plan this home-date for us, who did half the tasks and half were carried out by me. Everything was prepared. But then my cute , chirpy woman whose sight my eyes craved to see for the past 10 days , appeared to be so annoying when she opened her mouth exaggerating all the expenses I had done. It was for her!
She turned to look at me. I was pissed , annoyed and overall hurt. Unclasping my arms from my chest, I looked at her and hissed , "Are you serious right now Mishti? Mene itna sab kiya aur tumne vo chhod kar economics kahan ghusa di? Hadd hai."("Are you serious right now Mishti? I planned all of this and then you go around adding your economics in all of this.") I was fuming and then I knew I had a sad pout on my face. This was not done from her side.
As if understanding the blunder she made , she looked at me with wide eyes and then her rush was replaced with such a soft look , that I wanted to stomp my feet and complain about her unjust. It is the first time , I am acting so freely in front of her or any female. She does this to me , brings out the version I have saved for myself.
"Oh." she mutter and approach me. I am looking at my feet with frowned eyebrows, overthinking the very decision I took in the last 48 hours. She takes hold of my hand in hers and makes me sit on a nearby chair. "Give me two minutes." She runs towards the door and brings her phone and flats in hands, keeps them near the table and runs off in the kitchen. I hear the tap water running and assume shd must be washing her hand.
I hear her footsteps and then feel her hands taking hold of mine which are holding my head. I am frustrated and there is a hurricane of emotions which I control from lashing out. She takes me to the makeshift fort and we sit inside , cross legged. This setting feels so intimate. I had liked the arrangement and didn't care about the expenses.
Mishti sits in front of me and sighs. "I am so sorry. I shouldn't have reacted like that. You did this for me?" She asks so softly that I melt. I don't even understand myself. One moment I am angry and then she speaks and I am ready to pour my heart. "Yeah" I utter , suddenly feeling shy. I don't want to look her in the eye.
