Anu And Her First Love

"Devi?" I called her as taking a seat beside her.

"What darling?" she smiled.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure,"

"Do you know what Arjun would like?" I asked looking away from her pretending I didn't ask anything.

"You mean?"

"Like favorite food?" I suggested. "Do you know what his Indian favorite food is?"

"Darling... I know you're trying to get to know him but he doesn't eat Indian foods more like he never ate one. He'd always complain to me whenever I eat Indian food especially in banana leaf." She said twitching her nose as if she was being mad at him for not letting her eat her favorite food.

I chuckled.

"Is that so?" I remembered the other day when I served him idli, sambar, and chutney, he ate everything I put it on his plate without any word. If he doesn't like eating food he could've told me or Alice to do some American foods. But he didn't! Did he think that I'd get hurt if he refuses my treat? That was so kind of him. I didn't tell her about that day because if I said that she might start teasing him for that. So I thought I better keep this way.

We heard a yawning sound from upstairs. And we look at each other for a moment as if we knew who's that'll be. That was Adam. He took a nap and now yawning again like a mountain monkey. I laughed to myself and let out a soft giggle.

"That's Adam," I told her. She knew who that was but I told her anyway.

"Yeah" she laughed. "It's his time to drink milk." She said as about to stand from the couch.

Before she could react I stood like fire and gave her an amazing smile and said, "I'll take care of that."

She nodded.

"Thanks, darling."

I went back to the kitchen where Alice was standing and cutting vegetables for dinner. I thought she was already busy and I'd make it by myself. Then I took a big glass from the cupboard and poured some milk into it, added some brown sugar in it, and mixed it well.
