Arjun held Ishita’s hand as they entered the movie theatre. It wasn’t a grand, fancy date, but he wanted to make her happy. He had planned every little detail, from the seats he picked to the snacks he wanted to get for her. As they settled into their seats, Ishita's eyes gleamed with excitement. She had always loved watching movies on the big screen, getting lost in a world different from her own.

The lights dimmed, and the film began, but Arjun’s eyes weren’t on the screen. Instead, they were on her. He watched the way her eyes widened at an intense scene, the way her lips curved into a soft smile at a lighthearted moment, and how she bit her lower lip when the tension in the movie rose. She was completely immersed, unaware of his gaze on her.
