The doorbell rang.

The maid opened the door.

Looking outside she asked, “Who are you looking for, sir?”

“I am looking for Ken. Is he home?” Lucas asked .

“Yes, he is upstairs,” the maid replied.

Lucas goes upstairs calling Ken's name out loud.

“Why are you shouting out my name? It’s not that I am deaf. ``Ken replied.

“I am in love” he said to Ken with a big smile on his face .

“What? With whom?” Are you kidding?"

Ken demanded, totally shocked.

“Do you remember the chubby girl with glasses? The one who used to sit in the corner next to my seat. She is that girl I love. I had a crush on her for a long time . Guess what, she accepted my proposal. I am so happy.”

Lucas was so happy that he was walking from one corner of the room to another and smiling nonstop.

Ken was surprised to hear this.

He congratulated Lucas .

“Let’s go out. It’s my treat “ Lucas said to ken.

“Ok but first let me change my dress.”

“Hurry up ken why are you taking so long?” Lucas called Ken from outside the bathroom door.

“It’s just been a minute, why are you calling?” Ken said from the bathroom.

“On the scale from 1 to 10 , you’re an 11 dude.”

“If you are done praising me better hurry because I am feeling hungry” ken told Lucas touching his abdomen.

“Let’s go to the famous Tacos restaurant.”

“Ok.“

“No need to bring your car, I have brought mine. Hop on.” Lucas opened the front seat door for ken.

“Ken can I ask you one thing”

“Better look at the road rather than asking me questions. “

“Come on . It’s not that accident’s gonna happen if i ask you just one question”

“We will talk about it later while eating but right now look at the road while driving”

“You know what ? I won't regret even though if i die today”

“You may not but not me” Ken said to Lucas with an anxious tone.

“Ha ha ha ok fine” Lucas said.

They arrived at the famous restaurant for Tacos.

The restaurant was filled with a different flavour scent which made ken even more hungry. The restaurant was filled with people, especially the couples . They sat on the corner table that provided a beautiful view outside .

“Hello sir. May i get the order please?”

“Ken what do you want?”

“Anything is fine.”

“Ok. Our order is anything.” he said to the waiter laughing.

“Sorry sir but we don’t have ‘anything’ on our menu.” The waiter replied, making Ken laugh.

“Please bring us the speciality of this restaurant and two cold drinks.”

“Ok sir. We will be right back. Please first enjoy our complimentary food before the dish arrives.”

“Where was I? Oh yeah , I want to ask you something?” Lucas said to ken.

“You may say it now Or else food can’t be digested by you.” Ken replied laughing.

“Did you ever love someone?”

Ken paused. Trying to hide his feelings he said “Why do you need to know ? Look after your relationship rather than other things.”

“How could I forget that you don’ t care about girls?”

“Here is your dish sir. Please enjoy your food.” The waiter said placing their order.

“It looks delicious. I am so hungry so I will taste first . "Ken said, trying to avoid his question.

“Yeah, it looks great and also smells tasty.”

“Also tastes delicious,” Ken said to Lucas after testing it.

“When will you go to Canada ?” Ken asked Lucas with a piece of meat in his mouth.

“What? Chew it and then speak. I can’t understand what you are saying.” Lucas told Ken, unable to understand him.

“I said when are you planning to go to Canada?”

“Maybe on Tuesday this week. What about you?”

“Maybe next week. I have some documents to deal with.”

“Don’t worry. I will arrange everything there .” Lucas said to ken.

Their ordered dish was served beautifully.

“Looking at this dish I am even more hungry , Lucas, stop looking at your mobile. Let’s eat it before it is cold.”

“Just a moment “

“Is it because I am hungry or is this food so delicious!” Ken said, taking his first bite.

“ Yeah it is. Let’s come here next time too . I love the dish taste as well as the way it is served.” Lucas told Ken, shaking his head , enjoying their food.

“Excuse me, can I get the bill please?” Lucas said to the waiter.

“Just a minute please”

After some time. The waiter came with the bill .

“Here you go sir” saying that the waiter kept the bill for the coroner."

"It was really delicious . I thought it would cost a lot but see it's not that costly. This restaurant is not indeed this famous .” Lucas said to Ken, showing the bill.

Lucas paid the bill. They praised the manager for the good quality of the food.

“Let me drive now. I am afraid that I might die if I let you drive.”

“Come on ken. It's not that I am drunk. After all, I don't drink alcohol.”

“I never said that you are drunk because of alcohol. You are drunk from Love and this is more dangerous than alcohol.” Ken said to Lucas laughing.

“That was a very bad joke ken. “

“I thought it was a good one. So sad turned out to be a bad one ``Ken said laughing at Lucas.

“Let's go home. I need to call my love so that I can tell her about the restaurant. I am dying to listen to her.”

“ that’s so cheesy ,Lucas”

“Why is the light red again? When I am in a hurry everything happens like the traffic that was almost half an hour and now this traffic light.”

“Be patient Lucas. It's even less time than when we went out.”

“Here we are. Are you not coming in?”

“Oh no. I have a date with my love.”

“What ? Date? When did you arrange the date?”

“Yeah. Come on dude. Don’t be shocked. She just texted me to go on a date.”

“Well, thank you. Have fun.”

“Ok see ya “

“Wait. I forgot to tell you that I need to go shopping before going to Canada. “

“Ok. I will call you when I am free and we can go together. I will take you to the best place. “

“Ok bye.”

“Bye.”
