As Adhyayan and Anvesha greeted each other and took their seats, the waiter came to take their orders. Placing their orders, they smiled at each other visibly relaxed in each other’s presence.

“Thank you so much for solving my problem and I am sorry to be an idiot to avoid your calls last night”, Adhyayan said calmly as he expressed his gratitude by presenting her the bouquet.

“Thank you, dear but it was not needed. I am delighted you came all the way here to meet me”, Anvesha said smiling at him.

Taking a deep breath, she continued, “I am glad your problems are sorted with my master plan and for the ignorance, I am still angry”, chuckling at Adhyayan’s sad face.

The waiter brought their orders on their table.

“Hey Precious, don’t be angry at your boyfriend”, Adhyayan said dramatically showing the collection of her beloved instrumental music CD.

“Thank you so much”, elated Anvesha expressed her delight snatching her gift from his hands. She loved the way he called her ‘Precious’. She could sense the blood rush on her cheeks and she knew she was blushing hard.
Adhyayan admired her fair cheeks glowing in the hue of red as he stared at her rose petals-like lips.

Keeping up a straight face, Anvesha said, “Dear, I loved the nickname you gave to me but I am still angry”, placing her palms on the table.

Caressing her left soft palm with his big right palm, Adhyayan said, “Anvesha, you are truly precious to me and I want to cherish you lifelong. I am sorry.”

“And I am angry”, Anvesha muttered enamored by his soft touch trying hard to control the butterflies dancing in her stomach.

“Sorry, please forgive me”, Adhyayan said calmly.

“Adhyayan, I am going to Alwar to meet a defence officer this weekend and my company is not paying for the trip”, Anvesha said keeping up a straight face ignoring the butterflies as she sipped her coffee.

Adhyayan was perplexed at the indecency of the channel as they were not paying the travel allowance to their employee going for work outside Delhi. Choosing his words wisely, he questioned about the complete matter.

“Adhyayan, I am not taking the travel allowance this time because I have some other plans. I have booked two tickets of the Fairy Queen Express and you are coming with me”, Anvesha bombarded leaving Adhyayan shocked for once.

“What? How, I mean? I can’t come. You know I have work”, Adhyayan said with confusion written all over his face. Internally he was happy that his girlfriend had planned an escapade for him but at the same time, he was not used to trips and was always engrossed in work. Since last six years he was accustomed to living a robotic life and he did not like the trips. He was shocked for once.

“I will remain angry if you will not come. You are coming and it is final. It is just about two days. Come on! Don’t be anhedonic”, Anvesha said trying to persuade her boyfriend for the tour she had planned.

“Anhe…. What?” Adhyayan questioned, on the other hand, trying to understand what Anvesha said.

“Anhedonic, dear. Anhedonic is someone who cannot enjoy pleasurable activities like traveling, hanging out and not even…. sex”, Anvesha said explaining the meaning of the term almost murmuring the last word.

Adhyayan chuckled hard. Amidst his giggles, he said, “I am not that, anhe… whatever you said. And don’t worry I enjoy sex”.

Anvesha turned red in embarrassment as she tried to find words. After much contemplations, she said, “I need not worry because we are obvious not indulging ourselves into anything like that”, with her head bowed down.

“But I am not coming to Alwar. I am simply not used to vacations. Try to understand.” Adhyayan said trying to explain Anvesha that he simply did not want to go Alwar.

“You are coming. It is just the matter of the weekend”, Anvesha negotiated determinedly.

Ultimately Adhyayan gave in and agreed for the trip to Alwar. The blushing Anvesha mumbled a ‘thanks’.

They chit-chatted for a while after their hectic day. Both of them were so lost in each other, laughing and giggling together, that they forgot their weariness.

Anvesha was first to realize that it had been an hour they were sitting in the coffee shop as the staff eyed them accusingly for having captured the table for too long. As she told Adhyayan that they needed to leave, he offered her to drop at her studio apartment.

Despite much denial, Adhyayan was adamant to drop her back home. As they both drove to her house, Anvesha asked him to come inside her humble apartment to which he politely denied realizing she lived alone and perhaps, her society would not like his presence at late hours.
Taking his leave, he left for his home.

Anvesha reached home after a tiresome yet, awesome day. She was delighted to meet the valiant General Amarinder Bakshi followed by the third date with her boyfriend. Reheating her dinner in the microwave, she had her meals. Washing her dishes, she chose to sleep after a hectic day as a smile played on her lips.

On the other hand, after driving for long, Adhyayan reached his penthouse. As soon as his tired self, slumped on his bed after a light dinner, his phone rang. He had expected Anvesha’s call but was surprised to see his sister calling him.

As soon as he picked the call, his little sister Parisa asked him worriedly, “Is everything fine, bhaiya?”

“Yes, Pari. Everything is fine. What happened?” Adhyayan questioned his little sister who was worried of him.

As Parisa told about the news running on the TV channel that a food inspector tried to accuse her brother, Adhyayan narrated her the whole ordeal along with Anvesha’s master plan.

“Bhaiya, when I will come Delhi, I want to meet your girlfriend”, his sister said praising Anvesha and her talk show. Parisa was a die-hard fan of ‘Real Life Heroes’.

Since Parisa was the one who encouraged her brother to persuade Anvesha, she was beyond happy, that finally her brother had found a genuine girl for himself. She was pleased to see that her elder brother was opening up like earlier days. She knew Adhyayan had cocooned himself in last six years and was delighted to see that her brother was trying to go back to his carefree self. Praying for him, Parisa talked to Adhyayan for a while and finally disconnected the call.

Adhyayan texted back Anvesha who had sent a ‘good night’ message and retired to his bed for his peaceful sleep after a long day.
