Meshal point of view:
I got ready for the dinner, I wanted to wear something classy as if it was somebody's wedding dinner party but I dropped the idea because i did not want to add uncomfort to my already existing nervousness . So, i just slipped myself into some pajamas, yeah a beautiful one (wink wink). I looked in the mirror and loved the view, as always. I smiled at myself.
I started waiting for the ringing of the doorbell, as if it was the most romantic sound in the world. I wanted to be purely confident, when confessing my feelings to him so instead of just getting anxious while waiting, I decided to practice some good lines to confess, which won't create any confusion of words. I tried it for about ten minutes but not even a single line suited my heart's situation. So, I decided to let it be and go with the flow.
"Tadinng", my heart literally danced on this melody of doorbell because i already knew who was ringing it. I felt a little weak before opening the door but i gathered all of my confidence and headed towards the door.
And Oh my holy goodness, the scene my eyes are witnessing is probably the best one, they have came across. Monjir is smiling from ear to ear and my heart can't take it anymore. I haven't uttered a single word but am just lost in the view front of me for few moment. And i can see his cheeks getting little red. So, i composed myself.
"Heyy! looking really pretty" I said and I mean every single word.
He smiled and starting rubbing his neck, "Heyy! and thank you" he replied. "I'm saying this not because I have to, but you too are looking very beautiful yourself" he said looking in my eyes and I am unable to handle this compliment. "He is very sweet" I thought.
"Thank you very much and thanks for coming, let's get inside" I said smilingly. He returned his too cute smile.
We eat the dinner without much conversation but in a beautiful silence . I don't know, what is this feeling, but everytime we are together, silence never bored me but it seems so comforting as if it is some sort of relaxation yoga posture or meditation. I steal some glances of Monjir while eating and I think even he did the same, but maybe it's all my imagination.
It's time for dessert and i am getting nervous."I have made some cupcakes for us, but I doubt if they will taste good because its my first attempt in them" i said. "What is worth worrying in that, bring them on, we will taste them, maybe they will turn into the best cupcakes" he cheered me. I smiled at his motivation and brought those cupcakes on the dining table.
I told him that I will taste first, in case of they taste too bad. But he insisted on trying together so , we both grabbed our respective pieces . "Not that bad" i said and added,"What do you think?"
"Actually very good for a person who tried for the first time" he replied and gave me smile saying you did a great job. My heart was pounding out from his compliment. We both ate a few cupcakes till we call it all done.
We talked for about thirty minutes, and that is when I come to know, that he isn't a waiter but is a research scholar. He do a lot kinda a work for his research, and a waiter's job is one of that. He told me he even got paid for his research as he is appointed by government and we discussed about my stuff too.
"You wanted to discuss something" he asked.
"Yes" i said thinking that the time has come. So i told him to listen me patiently and then give me an answer and he agreed.
I looked into his eyes and,"I think I really like you", "and not only that, I think I actually have something more with you"
