I nodded in understanding. She took her phone and called Siya, but there was no answer.
Having no other option, she called Veer, who picked up on the third ring.
"Where are you guys?" she almost shouted.
"At my house. Kyu, kya hua?" he answered casually.
"At least you should have informed me. Aunty ka call aya tha. Bata to dete!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, shit, we forgot. What did you tell her?" she told him everything.
They talked for a while, and then she hung up the call, heaved a sigh, and finally looked at me.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she apologized.
"No, no, it's okay. I understand," I said, chuckling.
"By the way, have you ever dated before?" she asked, again starting the car
"No, I never got the time. I was always busy with my studies and then work," I answered.
She nodded with an "o" face. We continued talking about each other when her phone rang again.
She sighed and picked up the call.
"Where are you?" the guy from the other side asked directly.
I looked at her confused, and she didn't notice me as she answered, "I'll be home in a while. What happened?"
"Nothing. Mom asked you to bring some groceries," he said.
"Okay, I'll bring it on my way," she said, and about to hang up the call when the guy added, "Di, di, chocolates bhi lana."
She smiled and said yes, then hung up the call.
"Your brother?" I questioned.
She hummed and nodded.
"Would you like joining me? I'm too lazy to go alone," she said.
And, of course, I happily agreed

We were roaming around the mart, and as I was checking the groceries, Ayansh pushed the cart.
"So?" he suddenly said.
"Hmm?" I asked, raising my brow at him.
"I was asking if we are a thing now?" he asked hesitatingly.
I smiled and thought for a while before answering, "Yes, I know you must be eager, but won't it be too fast to start dating? I mean, you said you like me, and I like your personality too, but I need some time to trust you." I answered honestly, not wanting to keep him in false hopes.
I looked at him, only to see his face droped
"Don't be sad; I'm not rejecting you. I'm just saying that I need time to trust someone with me," I reassured him.
I smiled and continued, "We can do one thing if you don't mind?" I asked.
He looked at me with now shining eyes and nodded
Not gonna lie, he looked so cute!!
I cleared my throat and continued, "I mean, you can start courting me. We can go out sometimes. Once I feel like I can trust myself with you, I won't hesitate to give myself to you," I said, looking into his eyes.
He looked at me with an unknown expression
I turned around and started looking for more things, leaving him in his thoughts.
After some minutes, I felt him walking behind me again.
"Yeah, you are right. I know you need time to trust me, and I'll do anything to gain your trust," he said genuinely. I thought he would argue.
"You can take as much time as you want; I'll wait for you. But when you come to me, there is no going back. You will be mine, and I'll be yours always. I'll give you all the happiness in the world, respect you, love you, and do everything for you until my last breath," he finished, heaving a deep breath.
I looked at him, overwhelmed with his words. My eyes got a bit teary.
"Thank you," I said in a heavy voice.
He just smiled, shaking his head, and came forward to wipe my tears.
I don't know why, but I felt comfortable with his touch, even though we just met yesterday.
He is gentle, respectful, and polite. I hope things work out, and we end up together.
Just like that, we spent our evening shopping for groceries, talking, and getting to know a lot of things about each other.
I finally dropped him off at his home and went toward mine, smiling and thinking about him
