Valentine’s Day is supposed to be all about roses, grand gestures, and candlelit dinners, right? Well, for Disha and Manthan, their first Valentine’s together was a little less rom-com and a little more sitcom—complete with a stolen helmet, a budget-friendly jewelry hunt, and a surprise that redefined “thoughtful gifting.” Buckle up; this one’s a ride!

The Rush Hour Romance:
Manthan, the ever-practical yet somewhat romantic guy (emphasis on practical), decided to keep things simple for his first Valentine’s with Disha. Between his love for his job and his bike—priorities, people!—he planned to pick up a sweet, budget-friendly necklace and earring set on his way home from work. Classic Manthan: efficient, economical, and slightly last-minute as always.

But here’s the twist: to save ₹10 on parking (and, let’s be real, 10 minutes of time), he parked his bike outside the mall on the roadside. Quick in-and-out mission, right? Wrong. Fate had other plans.

The Great Helmet Heist:
Manthan dashed into the mall, grabbed the first elegant jewelry set that caught his eye (mission accomplished!), and hurried back to his bike… only to find his helmet gone. Poof. Vanished. Someone had decided to “borrow” it permanently. Cue the internal panic: “Disha’s going to kill me… but wait, I’m already late!”

Helmetless and slightly frazzled, he raced to meet Disha, hoping the gift would soften the blow of his tardiness—and the missing safety gear.

The Sizzler Savior:
Thankfully, Disha’s smile when she saw him could’ve powered the entire city of Mumbai. Over a sizzling, romantic dinner at their favorite spot in Kandivali, the helmet drama faded into the background. They laughed, shared stories, and clinked glasses of Peach Iced Tea to their first Valentine’s together—proving that love tastes better than any sizzler.

But as they left the restaurant, Manthan finally confessed: “Uh, by the way… someone stole my helmet?” Disha blinked. “Your… helmet? Seriously?” She didn’t say much in the moment, but little did Manthan know, the gears in her head were already turning.

The Plot Twist: Love in Reverse
Over the next week, Disha casually grilled Manthan about the stolen helmet. “What brand was it? What color? Did it have that weird sticker you liked?” Manthan, oblivious, answered everything—assuming she was just making conversation.

Cut to a week later: Disha dragged him to a bike accessory shop under the guise of “just browsing.” But then, with a smirk, she handed him a shiny new helmet—exactly like the one he’d lost. Turns out, while Manthan was busy saving ₹10 on parking, Disha was busy plotting the sweetest revenge: a gift that said, “I pay attention… even to your chaos.”

The Moral of the Story:
Love isn’t about grand gestures. Sometimes it’s a ₹500 necklace set and a shared sizzler.
Parking fines are cheaper than helmet replacements. (Take notes, Manthan.)
The best gifts come from listening—even when it’s about your partner’s rant over stolen bike gear.

Disha and Manthan’s first Valentine’s Day wasn’t perfect. But it was them: messy, funny, and full of surprises. Because who needs roses when you’ve got a helmet-shaped “I love you”?
