Mehek : The Desired One

◍CHP 9

Vibhav processed the information quickly. "Okay. Um, what are they doing? Can you see?"

Shubhay hesitated before responding, "Um, from what I can see, they're laughing and smiling."

Vibhav's mind raced with possibilities as he processed the update from Shubhay, wondering what Anirban and Mehek were discussing in the restaurant.

As Vibhav processed the information from Shubhay, a flicker of jealousy crossed his face.

Though he tried to suppress it, the jealousy was evident in the tightening of his jaw and the slight furrow of his brow as he contemplated the situation.

On the third floor of the restaurant, there were small, intimate spaces divided by flowing curtains, creating an ambiance of privacy and exclusivity. I was captivated by the charming concept, each section offering its own secluded dining experience.

As the guide led us through the elegant layout, we reached a cozy corner adorned with soft lighting and plush seating. With a graceful gesture, the guide presented the table, inviting us to indulge in the delights of the culinary journey that awaited us. The allure of the secluded setting promised an evening of enchantment and culinary delights.

Anirban gallantly slid the chair out for me, gesturing for me to be seated first, a chivalrous display that warmed my heart. As I settled into the chair, he took his place opposite me,

Anirban's expression was one of genuine curiosity. "So, how is this place?"

I nodded in agreement, "Quite nice."

He leaned forward slightly, intrigued, "Hmm, there are a few more tables here on this floor, and it's like a small cabin."

I glanced to my left, appreciating the view from the window. "Yeah, and the view from here is also beautiful."

I hesitated, unsure of what to choose. "Um, I don't know what I should order."

Anirban suggested, "Why not opt for something from the Chinese menu? How about ordering the Szechuan Chicken? It's spicy and packed with flavor."

We agreed on his suggestion, and Anirban called the waiter over, confidently ordering two plates of Szechuan Chicken.

As the waiter nodded and hurried off to fulfill our request, I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation, eager to taste the spicy and flavorful dish that Anirban had recommended.

As I fidgeted with my fingers, feeling uncomfortable in the dress that wasn't quite my style and it was a gift from my friend, Anirban's voice broke the awkward silence."Um, you're looking beautiful today," he remarked.

Feeling self-conscious, I brushed off the compliment, "Yes, yes, say something new that I don't know."

Anirban couldn't help but smirk, "Sometimes, don't you think you talk nonsense?"I shot back defensively, "I have to, to shut someone's mouth."

Anirban responded, "Yeah, yeah," with a chuckle, acknowledging our playful exchange.

In just a few minutes, our order arrived, and as the waiter placed the plates of Szechuan Chicken before us, the tantalizing aroma filled the air, making my mouth water in anticipation.
