Sujal stops his car near her apartment.

K gets down, sujal also gets down.

s-so, this is your home. [looking at the building]

k-emm.i live here..actually papa ke boss ka ghar hai ye. Wo log sab Canada mein rehte hain..wo kya hai naa [she whispers as if telling a secret] wo bohot kanjus hain.

k-nahi, aap itna durra aye mere lie, chai coffee kuch to pike jaiye.

s-to ye ki [he looks down at her aur use aise baat kar raha hai jaise bachche ko samjha raha ho] ki, mujhe to keh dia, aage se kisi aur se ye matt kehna.

k-kyun? Maine kya galat kaha? Chai-paani ke lie to puchungi hi naa.

s-arre, aise kisi ko ghar pe bulana coffe ke lie yahan means inviting the person.

k-ooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!! achca hua bata dia. Kitni gadhi hoon main.

Sujal chuckles.

s-koi baat nahi, chalo main chalta hoon.

s-ek cheez to bhul hi gaya, tumhara number?

k-emm..haan...98********

k-ok thanks

he again starts to go, but looks over his shoulder at her.

s-waise

she looks at him

k-haan?

s-aise kisi ko number bhi mat diya karo, soch samajhkar diya karo.

K nods obediently. He smiles and just waves her a good bye & goes.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The small date turned out to be good he thinks as he drives, the girl was nice. He does not regret the decision he made impulsively.

But still he is in two minds whether to call her again or not.

+++++++++++

Kashish thinks as she rests her head on her pillow that the man she met was so much unlike the way sheena had described.

He had something that was so very different from others, but she cannot pin point the exact thing.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Its almost been a week after the small date.

Work pressure in his office was increasing so, he was in the office till late.

He was busy working on his laptop when his phone rings.

'kashish' is displayed on his phone's screen.

He wonders why is she calling, that too so late.

He picks up the phone.

s-hello

k-helloo ! [her voice depicts that she is unsure and nervous] I am so sorry maine aapko aise disturb kia.

s-its ok. Hua kya? Is everything alright?

k-nahi naa [she starts speaking in whispers] wo kya hua naa ki mujhe chandni ke saath aana tha ghar, ek modeling assignment tha uske baad, naajaane chandni jaldi mein kahan chali gai, to iss Vaibhav ne mujhe kaha ki main chod deta hoon ghar, to main maan gai.

s-Vaibhav?

she walks to the other room where vaibhav was sitting.

Vaibhav looks up in confusion & takes the phone from k.

s-hello, vaibhav. I just wanted to thank you that you took the trouble of giving a lift to Kashish.
