"Can I ask you something?" Das questioned.

"Sure"

"First, promise me you won't get angry."

"Are you going to call me an idiot again?"

Das waved his finger and said, "Nope. Why would I ask your permission to call you an idiot?"

Elena frowned her eyes and said, "Speak up."

"Why are you always so happy and energetic?"

Elena's eyes widened as she had never expected such a question from Das.

"Well, I am just enjoying every moment of my life."

"Why?"

"What do you mean why? I said it earlier, right?" Elena took a bite and said, "Life is meant to enjoy."

"No. I want to ask, how can you enjoy it? I don't see anything that can make anyone happy here. Yet, you look so happy."

"Well," Her face flushed as she said, "That's because I am with you."

"Hmm?"

"Did I pass a joke or something?"

Elena sighed and muttered, "Dense as always."

"What was that?"

"Nothing," Elena groaned.
