Anaya entered the busy Pizza Hut outlet. She clenched the closed umbrella tightly and looked around. The restaurant had wooden texture with posters of pizza and some witty, praise quotes. The place was jam-packed with customers. The clutters of cutlery, chatters and roars of people filled the entire place, making it very lively. The warm yellow lights and the subtle sound of the Soccer game on the TV weren't hurting the eyes and ears of the visitors. Anaya inhaled deeply, the scent of the freshly baked pizzas tantalized her, and she could feel her mouthwatering.

She spotted Gabin quickly as he stood close to the door.

He smiled at her and come towards her. She inhaled holding the golden sling of her clutch bag.

'Hi!' He leaned and air-kissed her cheeks. She smiled nervously. Her heart in her mouth.

'Come, let me help you.' He walked behind her and gestured for her white coat. It was November, the temperature would plummet in the evening and nights. Anaya wriggled out of the coat as he pulled it off her shoulders. Gabin neatly folded her coat and placed it over his forearm.

Together they walked towards a small round table for two at the cornerof the restaurant. All the hustle and bustle got muffled there. Gabin smiled ather as he pulled a chair for her. She nodded and took her seat. He hurried toopposite her.
