“When
you see Café Coffee Day you just can’t really resist can you!?” exclaimed Kevin
while stepping out of the car. Nope!” stated Geetha walking ahead. Kevin followed
into the shop with a deep breath and nodding his head from left to right, looking
down and a cute smile towards the right.
“You
grab a seat I will order an come ok! What would you like?” asked Geetha while
look at her phone, “What are you having?” asked Kevin querulously. “I am
thinking A Devil’s Own with Vanilla Ice-cream and a Spinach and Corn” said Geetha
looking up and thinking. She always had lips curled up to the left when she thinks.
“I think I will have a……, Veg. Burger and a Café Latte, Vanilla.” said Kevin
taking his phone out. “Where is it where is that app……?” mumbled Geetha. What ?

Kevin suddenly turned around and ran out.. as the
door close Geetha could hear Kevin’s voice… “Here let me help you with that”
Geetha held down a
laugh, smiled slightly with her lips bit down and said to herself “Looks like I
will be placing the order after-all ..”
“Good afternoon madam.

“Ok I would Like a A
Devil’s Own, a Spinach and Corn, Veg. Burger and a Café Latte.” Geetha went on
to give the order.
“ Ok Ma’am Devil’s own

“with Vanilla Ice-cream”
“and Café Latte which flavor

“Ok! Ma’am I will

the whole time as the casher repeated the order and said, “Yes I will be paying

“Ok Sure ma’am! Just a

“ Ok” said Geetha and
waited.
“Ma’am OTP please”
“It’s ‘xxxxxx’. You got

“Yes ma’am. Here is
your bill and the beans will be added in a while, thank you for coming please
wait. We will deliver to your table.” Replied the caher.
“Thank You” said Geetha
walking to their table.
As Kevin walked back in
he was about to go to the counter with his phone in his hand when he saw his
mother waving at him and gesturing him to come and take his seat.
“You gave the order? You
could have let me do it you know…” Kevin went on when Geetha interrupted, “ …..you
couldn’t help yourself could you. You are just like your father you know you
help anyone that you think needs help, weather they ask for it or not… You don’t
care What they do for you in return You just do good, I feel like this is one
of those I am Proud of You moments, I know your father will be as am I.”
“hmmm….. I … Well I am
a bit sad when the people I help the ones that I see every day, ‘friends’ ,
sometimes don’t even remember my birthday, but even then I love it when I help,
I feel like I am making my own space, you know…. I …. I don’t know how to say
it but it feels good” Kevin started to explain. “Yap definitely like you
father. He says the exact same line” Geetha smiled and said then continued to
say, “….but he also adds ‘Doing good not for anything in return and definitely
not to be good, but because I am Good!’ and there won’t be the part where I
feel a bit sad. Well you are on the track you will get there.” Geetha smiled
and said presently.
“Ok enough of that tell
the story of the tournament you and dad met and fell in love and all that.
Seriously you have kept enough suspense !!....” exploded Kevin. Easy there kido
you need a lot of patients to get to the end of this tale….. hhehehe” teased
Geetha, “Hrrrrwww” grunted Kevin. Geetha had her Eye brows Up and looked
sharply at Kevin. Kevin took a deep breath and cooled down. “Mmm!.. That was
fast good you have improved You will need it while fixing your room, the
furniture part!”
“Hmm ok!” said Kevin. “This
is how we met” Said Geetha presently. “What? How in the…?” Kevin said surprised.
“I saw him for the first time when he was facing my friend in the ring but we
met for the first time and the first thing he did was teach me patients”
“ I guess the anger
part I got that from you…….” said Kevin smiling.
“Excuse Me! Your order”
said the waiter with their order in his hand.
"I will go wash my hands
and come ok? You go after that and don’t you dare star before that.” Ordered
Kevin…
“Sure Boss. I’m waiting…..”
said Geetha winking…. And both of them smiled
