"Stop there"
I startled at the sudden loud voice. I turned my head towards it's direction. There I saw him standing near our bedroom door. Or should I say his bedroom? He kept on staring at me angrily while my fingers are trembling. I gulped loudly...
"Fine but it's better be quick. Because I don't have enough time for your take-me-back shit now.", shoving my hands into my pockets I stood beside her facing a fancy diner at the outskirts of town.
"I just wanna apologize for my tantrums Parth. Please give me a chance, don't you think I deserve another shot at forgiveness?"
I sighed as she hooked her arm around mine while giving me a pout with puppy eyes.
"Come on." We got into the restaurant, a bell chimed indicating a new customer arrival to the workers. The restaurant is quiet and hardly has any customers with just 2 or 3 tables filled, considering it's already past 9 pm.
"That corner table is lovely, shall we sit there?", she pointed a table at a corner which has a glass window at a side having a full view of the leaden nightsky.
"Yeah, why not.", she snuggled more into me as we headed to the table. Not being a gentleman to pull out a chair for her to seat, I snatched away my hand and slumped down in a chair as soon as we reached the said table. She rolled her eyes but sat on the opposite chair without uttering a word.
"Okay, what do you wanna talk about?", I tapped my fingers on the table.
"Baby, just wait. We can talk over the dinner.", she grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I huffed as I tried to snatch my hand away but she held it in a tight grip. I shook my head and fished out my mobile from my pockets and started to scroll down newsfeed.

"Welcome to Davis Diner. What would you like to have?", a chirpy tone snapped me out of my trance.
'Kavya?', I know my mouth literally touched the ground. With my widened eyes I looked up to see my wife standing near our table and wearing an apron with Davis Diner written on it. She is smiling angelicly at Nyka but I know it's completely fake by the look of her tired eyes. She nodded at her and said something to her. But my mind is so focused on her being here. She noted down something on a pad and finally averted her gaze from Nyka to look at me. As soon as our eyes met, her face turned pale. She quietly gasped and tried to cover it by coughing a little.
'What the heck is she doing here? Is she working here as a waitress?'
I stared at her for my unasked questions but she kept looking everywhere but me. Her eyes drifted down to our intertwined fingers. Her eyes held so much emotions at a time, the familiar fear she holds for me and also a glint of hurt.
I turned my head back to Nyka when she squeezed my hand. "Yes?"
"Baby, I asked you what you wanna have.", she squinted her eyes at me and averted them to look at Kavya at the end.
