Aditya smiles sheepishly not minding her as she always avoids his flirty questions "But I caught him".
Vedha raises her eyebrows with a smirk "Then, let's postpone tomorrow's dinner date till you get fine-".
Aditya disagrees strongly "No!".
She rolls her eyes "I won't run away in few weeks, Mister. I will just manage my dates again for the date".
He smirks "I promised to take you and I will".
She stares at his confident face and asks suspiciously "You didn't plan to appear there in a wheel chair, did you?".
Aditya lets out a laugh and holds her hand softly "I will. Even if it takes to appear there in a stretcher".
Vedha frowns swatting his hands "Shut up! You are just being desperate. So, let me remind you. My marriage can wait for a year as I planned. So stop urging everything".
Aditya whines "Hell with your astrologer!".
She gets displeased and teaches him in strict tone "Shut up! He is an elder man and a genuine one! In fact, I am going to meet him tomorrow".
He smirks "Look who is eager to know our future now".
She shakes her head and pats his head sweetly "Don't overestimate yourself, Mister. I am going only to get the invitations of Krishna's housewarming occasion! And... who told you that I will marry you?!".
He sulks with a grunt "When will you ever think of our future, woman?! I am dying here to marry you already!".
She pinches his cheek playfully "Then wait for a year to get the chance. And don't you dare move from here till you get healed!".
He sighs mumbling "I didn't even hear a confession yet!".
She bites her lip and pretends as if she did not hear him. She asks innocently "Did you say something?".
Aditya throws a fake smile "No! I was just talking to myself!".
She giggles walking away to the door "That's one of the symptoms. But don't bother much. I have more tolerance to this".
He frowns absentmindedly "Symptoms? Of what?".
She smiles sweetly "Losing your mind in love, Mister Inspector of Police! Please keep yourself together for a year and don't you dare do any stupid things like your work! I just ran way from Meera's wedding and I will be back in an hour!".
SLAM!
Aditya opens his mouth wide at her comment 'losing my mind love huh?' and chuckles "Trying hard to escape, hmm? I will make sure to make you agree!".
That's their weird relationship. They speak like a married couple sometimes yet won't admit their feelings openly. Because deep down they know. They like each other a lot. They just need this planned dinner date to make it official.
Fate has been postponing this date for a long time.
He is a busy man with his legal duties as an Inspector of Police while she is a Content Editor and sometimes writes articles in a Media Company.
Both of them are connected through the crimes.

The Next Day.
Vedha walks towards the restaurant and makes a call to Vinoth. She received a call from him that he reached the restaurant already.
'Why did he come here when I already told him to not to?! Adhi is in bed..didn't he hear me clearly last night? What could be important that he wanted me to leave Adhi alone there?'.
She doesn't like this feeling. She doesn't want to leave Adhi alone and be here. But Vinoth is now her best friend too. He must have some important reason behind this.
She opens the door and finds him sitting in one end of the restaurant.
As soon as she walks to him, she asks "Didn't you hear me clearly? I told you that he is injured-".
"But I asked him to do".
Vedha freezes hearing Aditya's voice behind her and turns 'No freaking way!'.
Aditya greets her with his devilish smile in his wheel chair and Vedha stares at Vinoth who is now standing behind Adhi holding the handle of the wheel chair.
She is taken aback by the handsome injured man in front of her who refuse to listen to her! His bandages are screaming the seriousness yet his smile made her melt in her place.
She looks behind him and purses her lips seeing Vinoth . She knows he is helpless too. He is too stubborn! Once he decides, no one can change his mind. Sounds like a movie dialogue but that's his attitude too!
Vinoth smiles "I think you can handle him from here?".
Vedha nods "Thanks, Vinoth".
Aditya and Vinoth shares a fist punch sort of things before parting.
She doesn't care to notice it because it always starts with a fist puch and then these guys go crazy like hifi-ing back and forth, thumb locking and again fist punching up and down.
That's where she lost her interest in tracking them anymore so she labelled it as boring long time ago.
She lets out a sigh and looks at Aditya seriously "You don't care for your health".
'I wish I could just tell him how mad I am now to see him in this state. I don't care about this date because this can wait. Not his health! I know he is stubborn. As bull'.
But Aditya asks arrogantly shattering her tenderness "How about bringing my wallet from my car, love? Instead of staring me with love?".
Now you know why she doesn't show her sweetness to him. His arrogant mouth never let a chance to irk her! And her pride too!
She snaps "I can pay for us-".
He chuckles "Such a lazy woman! Look how she treats an injured man! She can't even bring something for me!".
Vedha humps displeased and stomps from the place but stops hearing his mocking voice.
"You didn't take the key, Madam. Are you planning to walk several times to bring it throughout this date?!".
She snatches the key from him harshly and leaves the place in anger.
Idiot!
