"I'm hungry paithiyam" As Shruthi's complaint about her hunger came, I couldn't help but chuckle at her insatiable appetite.

"When are you not hungry?" I teased, recalling how she had nibbled on her food during dinner earlier.

She pouted in response, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "You saw me, right? I barely ate anything," she retorted, her tone playful yet earnest. "You say you own this building now, get me some food."

Her whining tugged at my heartstrings, and I couldn't resist leaning in to press a small kiss to her forehead. "Alright, alright," I conceded, reaching for the phone to call room service. "I'll make sure you get something delicious to eat."

Some time later I returned with a tray of food, setting it down on the table as Shruthi eagerly looked at the menu. Her eyes lit up as she spotted the dessert section, and she turned to me with a mischievous grin.

"Ice cream," she declared, her voice filled with excitement.

I raised an eyebrow, a bemused expression crossing my face. "Ice cream at 11 pm?" I questioned, unable to suppress a chuckle.

Shruthi shrugged nonchalantly. "Ice cream has no timing," she insisted, her eyes pleading as she looked up at me. "Please, Arjun, just this once?"

I couldn't help but tease her, leaning in closer with a playful glint in my eyes. "And what would I get in return for buying you your late-night ice cream cravings?" I asked, a hint of flirtation lacing my words.

Her cheeks flushed pink, but she met my gaze boldly. "Anything," she replied, her voice soft yet determined.

I sighed at her weird request and asked her to eat while I ordered her a plain vanilla ice cream. The doorbell chimed, just as she was finishing her food, signaling that her ice cream was here.

Shruthi shot up from her seat, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. I couldn't help but chuckle at her excitement, marveling at how something as simple as ice cream could bring her such joy.

She had leaped up from her seat so quickly that she nearly stumbled, but I caught her just in time, my laughter filling the room.

"Easy there," I teased, steadying her with a grin. "I'll get the ice cream. You just sit down and finish. "

She pouted but obliged, sinking back into her seat with a sigh. "Fine," she relented, though her eyes remained fixed on the door, eagerly waiting for the dessert.

As I returned with the ice cream, I found Shruthi waiting patiently, a spoon already in her hand. Her eyes lit up at the sight of the tub, and before I could even set it down, she reached out eagerly, attempting to grab it from my grasp.
