"You are one of a kind, you know" I shrugged at his words not understanding if I should take it in a good way or bad.

"Probably, ayeeeee, by the way, who was the owner of this cafe? You know he decorated the restaurant for someone he loved, you might have rented that place so I thought to ask you if he's your friend or something." I asked him the question which was roaming in my mind but I forgot it. Now suddenly the owner's green flag-ness clicked me.

He smiled a little first and then replied, "I don't know him"

"Ohh. That is sad." My lips formed into a pout, "But wait, if he decorated it for his ladylove, why did he rent it out to you- Oh my my, Don't tell me you are the owner of the cafe? And you freaking decorated it too? That too for me?" The excitement on my face was real. It was not about the cafe or decoration but it was about the efforts.

"Oh my god, Sahil" I exclaimed and looked at him with my mouth hung open. He did not glance at me but he knew that I was looking at him, the sly smile along with the red color present on his cheeks conveyed that to me.

Dang, I got such a cutie green flag. Never been so proud in my entire life.

"Don't look at me like that. I feel shy." He said kept his one hand on the side of his face hiding it from me, and drove from the other one. I swayed away from his hand and kept it on my lap entwined with mine.

"Why did you do all that? I mean, it would have been so stressful, planning all that-" He cut me off mid-sentence. As much as I loved all that, I feel guilty for doing absolutely nothing for him.

"Did you like it?" He asked and the drive came to a halt. I looked around to find that we had reached already.

"Like? I loved it" I answered honestly. That was the best moment of my entire life. Not kidding, but in all senses that was the best thing that ever happened to me. He is the best thing that ever happened to me.

"Then all those stressful things were worth every penny if it made you happy" My lips curved upwards making a small smile appear.

370th time. Lol.

"You're melting my heart now. Stop with these Bollywood-ish one-liners" He brought his hand which I was holding closer to him and kissed my hand. I scrunched my nose and butterflies ran in my stomach.

"Sahil, main pighal rahi hu," I said and let out a small and soft scream followed by, "I still can't believe this, any of this!" I squealed in happiness.
[Sahil, I'm melting now]

"You're a cutie," he said and tapped my nose lightly making me scrunch it again.

"Thank you. But I can't believe this and now I'll repeat that 500 times. Because that's how my system works"

"You want me to make you believe it? Should I repeat that?" He asked with a smirk and I nodded, a little confused.

He leaned forward and the realization clicked on me, I did not know that he was talking about the kiss.

"Ayeee No," I said and placed a hand on his chest. He passed me a totally confused look. "I thought you were talking about the hand kiss. Not this kiss, we are in our residential area, I don't wanna be called names if anyone sees us"

"Correct" He passed his one-word answer and I unlocked my seatbelt, opening the door of the car. Just when I was about to keep a step outside I heard him say, "Wait,"

He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car while my eyes followed his actions trying to guess what is this about now. First, he closed the door that I had opened once, and later after a pause of a few seconds, he opened it again. Bowing his head down and hands gesturing towards the area of the parking lot dramatically, he said, "I was your commander, remember?"
