"We can have food here also, can't we?" She asked.
I looked outside. There were many small dhabas.
"Oh these dhabas? Please, I don't want to go there. I'm really tired, I need a big fat dinner today. Please allow me.."
I replied, looking through the mirror. I saw her smiling. It was tiring, yet beautiful indeed.

When I saw an ATM I asked the taxi driver to stop and asked her to withdraw some bills. She went in, and came out dejectedly.
Something was wrong.
"What happened? This one's also not working?"

"Please. Please don't be angry. I think Karthik has changed the password."
"Oh. Shit."
She looked down and stood like a student who was missing her textbook at home and misleading the teacher. I suddenly felt pity.
"It's okay. Did you block that?"
"No, I used it only twice."
She sounded a bit better, having done at least one thing correctly.
"You're looking like I'm your boss or something. Relax." I laughed.
I walked into the ATM and withdrew a couple of thousands with my card.
