The Perfect Pair

Chapter Five

It was one other day gossiping with her aunt when her mother suddenly asked her to invite Aiden over for dinner the following weekend.

She gladly invited him and as usual he did come,all dressed up perfectly with a white tulips bouquet  for her mother and aunt.

His charming personality and his jokes won the hearts of the three women.He was polite wherever needed and joked when the moment fell silent or serious throughout the evening.

It was Sangeeta,who specially was very happy to make an evening like this happen.She had noticed her mother laugh out loud at times at his jokes and funny gestures.She had missed seeing her mother so happy and as a matter of fact she had never seen her this happy around anyone.

After desserts and a little more chit-chatting,he rose up to leave bidding everyone goodnight and saying thank you for the awesome dinner and time that he had had that evening.

She walked him to the door and when he was about to say ‘goodbye’,he noticed her eyes teary.

“What’s the matter,honey?” he questioned with concern in his voice.

“It’s nothing.I’m glad you came..I love you” she replied in shaky voice.

“I love you too.Goodnight” and he kissed her forehead and left.

That night she lay awake in her bed,thinking about how amazingly God had thrown signs to her.She thanked him and slept.
