"3 chocolate scoops 1 vanilla and umm yeah 1 pista" Preshtha gave orders for us, but neither of 'em are my favourite. Before I could change my order Preshtha turned around and said "What's your order" her eyebrow raised in excitement as she had beautiful smile plastered on her face.

"What do you mean by 'whats your order' you just gave away our order" I frowned at her.

"No that was my order" she said pointing towards the screen.

My mouth hung wide open. "Add a pasta too & give me the bill" she payed the bill and settled herself on a nearby table.

"Are you sure bubble? Eating this much?" I neverously eyes her. What if she gets fever and cough before going to London.

Damn. Who will take care of her when no one's around?

"You said you don't mind me eating big portions" she looked stressed and embarrassed.  "Um. Actually it's been a long time I have been somewhere that's why... I'll.. I'll just cancel the order" she tried to get up but I held her wrist and made her seat where she was previously seated.

"No. That's not what I meant" I slammed my palm against my forehead. Why does she overthinks everything these days? I would never judge her eating habits until & unless she balances it out with a healthy lifestyle which she is doing.

"What I meant is, if you will eat this much ice cream you will catch cold and I'm not leaving you in that condition to London" I huffed. Her eyes crinkled as a wide smile rose on her lips.

"I thought you didn't liked me eating this much" I rolled my eyes as I placed my hands over her & squeezed it lightly, giving her the assurance I didn't really mind her eating habits if she is fit and fine. Overthinker.

"Leave this... tell me about Manas's date. Who is she? How did these people met?----" she started shooting me questions. Never did I find her this interested in her own love life as she is about other's.

"He was frustrated being single so he installed a dating app and here we are... thirdwheeling the date" she raised her eyebrow in amusement, it even seemed weird to me. He should have just explored his options in College rather than on dating apps.

Dating apps are less for dating but more for hookups, if he is cool with that who am I to say something?

"I can see the frustration on his face when we are spending time together & he is third wheeling us" she giggled, just then her order was served.

"Soon I'll be third wheeling him baby" I stroked her hair, with my fingers. How much am I going to miss this girl?

"Don't worry you can skype me" she took a spoonful of chocolate icecream and shoved it inside her mouth as she winked at me simultaneously.

"That's what I'm planning" I let out a sigh, "But you should pick up the call & don't go ghost on me"

I picked up a spoon and took a spoonful of pasta, but before I could taste the pasta, Preshtha took the spoon from my hand and gave me a stern look.

"I don't share my food" she huffed angrily and took the bite of the pasta which looked so delicious, "order yours"

"Stop being so mean, let me take a bite" I tried taking a bite again but my attempt was unsuccessful, I faked my frown and gave her a dissapointed look.

"O R D E R   Y O U R S" I huffed at her and nodded.

She picked her 3rd cup and started eating, just then, my phone vibrated with a notification pop-up which was text from Manas.

Manas: RED CODE.

Manas: the girl is so cold she just nods at me & doesn't answers my questions. Save me pleaseeeeeeeee.

Rudra: coming.

"Gotta go, the date isn't going good there" she chuckled lightly.

"Umm.. I'll join you" she immediately took the bag and held my arm flashing a smile.

- - - -

Manas was sitting there, having a poker face whilst he was playing with his food. Not caring about the world, whilst the girl was just scrolling through the phone.

Honestly I don't even know how to react to this, whether I should pity on him & be angry with his date or just laugh out.

I guess I'll go with the 2nd option

Preshtha was beside me, she already knows what is the plan to rescue him.

I shift my gaze towards her whilst her gaze was already on me. We both nodded in agreement and walked towards Manas's table.

"Hey, Manas right?" It felt so weird to acknowledge him this way but, I had to rescue him from this really boring date of his.

His eyes flickered in confusion, but realisation finally hit him and he instantly nodded, "Yeah" he lifted his eyebrow and lifted his hand to shake my hand.

We both give each other the handshake, "Where is your daughter bro & your soon-to-be-wife?" I asked, whilst his boring date was all ears. She was listening to our conversation with all her concentration.

"He has a daughter & he is going to be married?" Her eyes wide opened.

"Yes, you didn't knew that?" Preshtha asked with her curiously.

"No" the girl nearly yelled.

"How dare you Manas? You are a real fraud" she catched him by his collar and pushed him with a jerk.

Here I was, trying really hard to not myself break into a laughter but thankfully, I controlled it.

"I-I'm sorry, I can explain" Manas tried to convince her. Proud of his acting skills.

"Sorry? My foot" with this the girl left the cafe and we three were left there staring at each other which eventually led us to break into a laughter.

Manas came forward, still laughing.

"Damn, thanks Rudra" he hugged me tightly, "I'm gonna marry you"

"Oye, how dare you said that?" Preshtha hit Manas's arm playfully.

"Please huh, you are going away already. Rudra is all mine" Manas winked at her, which led to a chuckle on my face.

"Laugh. Laugh. You guys are already distancing me" she frowned, crossing her arms.

- - - -

I was driving Preshtha and Manas back to their home. Manas was telling me about a football match, which he watched last night.

"Damn, the nutmeg, Cristiano did was out of the world"

Preshtha was dozed off and she was sleeping like a baby. Who knew this drama queen looked so cute in her sleep face? 

---shutup man you were wrong too. My mind mocked me which was right to much extent. It was kind of my mistake I didn't gave her much time but I'm glad we are on good terms already.

My focus again shifted towards Manas's statement "Of course man, he's greatest of all time" I shifted my gear and eventually stopped at Preshtha's house.

I shook Preshtha's shoulder so that she gets up from her sleep but she's still sleeping like a baby.

I pat her cheeks, "Preshtha-" just then I feel her cheek burning at a hot temperature.

Damn it, I told her not to eat that icecream.

"Baby.. get up" she groaned and slowly opened her eyes.

When she was fully awakened, she looked at me and raised her eyebrow, "Why did you waked me up" she said yawning.

"We are at your house" Manas replied with a fake curt tone which instantly made me give him a hard stern look.

"Don't talk to her like that" I huffed angrily.

"I'm going.. good night" Preshtha turned to open the door. Ignoring Manas's statement.

"No, you are having fever. I'm not leaving you like that" I held her wrist tightly, not letting her go from my grip.

I turned my gaze to Manas, "You" I pointed a finger at him, "Take the car with you and park it at my parking area" he nodded at me.

I jumped out of my seat and helped Preshtha get out of the car, tho she can get out of her own. I just wasn't assured. Maybe she could just fall and break her leg. Possiblitirs are endless.

"Rudey.. I'll be fine. Go back" without listening to her I walked her to the threshold of her house, which was opened by her brother.

He had his eyebrows raised, but seeing Bubble in this condition he immediately opened the door wide and let us in.

"What the hell you did to my little sister?" He followed me to Preshtha's room sounding really angry.

"I didn't do anything, Kartik" I let out a sigh, "it's your sister who ate 5 cups of ice-cream & here she is having fever & cold" I helped Preshtha settle her on her bed.

"Wow, so you are judging my sister for her eating habits" he sarcastically said, placing a hand on his hip staring at me humorously. I shook my head in disbelief

Both are dramaqueens.

"Please,What the fuck is this conversation" I almost yelled. Shouldn't he be concerned that his sister is having fever? No, he's arguing with me already. Why does he even acts as if he hates me when he's all goofy around me.

"You are my little sister's future husband and I have to see whether her fiance is a good guy or not" he shrugged.

"C'mon I took punches from you that definitely proves I'm a good boyfriend + fiancé"

"You deserved it" he narrowed his eyes in annoyance as he recalled the past memories.

Kind of, but anything for her.

"Give me some medicines for her" I asked him. He nodded and went out of the room to bring the meds.

"You guys are crazy" I almost forgot, Preshtha was listening to our argument. I had a wide smile plastered on my face as I shook my head lightly in agreement.

"Get changed.. this dress will give you more cold" the dress covered her till her knees and it just had straps on the shoulder which made me lust over those luscious curves for more.

Of course, her health is much important than me lusting over her. So I instantly stopped those dirty thoughts.

She shook her head lazily and pulled the duvet more closer to her.

"Stop being lazy, Preshtha" I massaged my forehead. I searched for her comfy clothes and ended up finding a tshirt and pajamas.

I threw them towards her and asked her change.

"Mean fiancé" she said eyeing me as she walked towards her washroom. Tho, my pervert self wanted her to change in front but never mind, after 2-3 years I consoled myself.

"That I'm" I winked at her.

Kartik already bought the meds and placed them on her dressing table whilst I was just staring myself in front of the big mirror.

The washroom's door opened with a thud, revealing bubble in that cute night suit.

She instantly threw that blue dress on the couch and immediately plopped on the bed.

"Aye no sleeping, take your medicines" I forwarded the meds which led her to groan in frustration

"Rudra, let me sleep" she said placing the duvet on her face. I instantly pulled the duvet down and forwarded the meds. This time without hesitation, she took them.

I gave her the water and she gulped it down.

"Now sleep" I placed the glass on the teapoy.

"You are leaving?" She asked me.

"Yes"

"Can you stay over? We will watch disney movies" a smile spread over my lips she asked to stay which is very unusual of her. I nodded instantly and sat beside her, cuddling her.

I was busy searching a movie for us, All of a sudden Preshtha asked me, "I'm going to miss every moment of us" she had a sad smile plastered on her face.

"Preshtha not again" I warned her. I couldn't control her emotional side anymore. It hurted me when she cried over me or anything.

She snuggled closer to me and kept her head on my chest.

"I can't avoid this topic anymore. I'm going in five days" her voice broke in the mid sentence. I rubbed her right arm to encourage her to speak up.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me Rudra"

"Shutup, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me" I kissed her hair.

"Don't you even dare to find someone else over me" she straightened herself and pointed a finger towards me.

I raised my hand, surrendering myself to her, "Never"

She chuckled seeing my expression, her chuckle was contagious which led me to laugh out loud.

"And you don't even dare to date some British guy & stay away from Ayaansh" Ayaansh. I swear if he tries on her I'll kill him with my bare hands.

"Yeah yeah"

We kept on talking and we eventually forgot that we had to watch a movie.

Preshtha, was already dozed off in my arms. I kissed her forehead. My Queen
