He: Wait. You are all alone?

Terrace.

She: I guess you have to stand and eat.

She: I prefer standing than risking my life. 

He: Hahaha! God this Maggie smells awesome. Where is your plate. 

She: Naah! I am OK with my coffee. 

He: Wait! Did you took a bath? 

She: *Avoiding eyes* Ummm...  No..  Actually just washed my face and all...

He: God! Look at you. It's this late and you took a shower! And I didn't even bother to change my pajamas. 

She: Hahaha! At least try to look a bit gentle for the first date. 

He: *Smiling* Ummm. Even i need to tell you something. 

She: *Sipping coffee* He he he! The mic is yours. 

He: You have cooked Maggie perfectly. Hahaha! 

She: Seriously? 

He: Nope there is one more thing. 

She: What?

She: Even I am feeling cold. 

He: You are wearing a sweater. Please! 

She: God! Why can't I deny you. And usually it's boy who offers their jacket. 

He:I believe in feminism.

She: Hahaha! That's a good one. 

He: And there is one more thing. 

She: What? Your coffee has turned cold?

He: Hahaha! No stupid. Listen. Ummm the first day when I saw you, my heart literally escaped from my ribs and followed you. I literally had a massive crush on you. But I was afraid to own up. I was afraid to confess because I didn't want to spoil our friendship. I still remember the day when I saw you. White top with 'Gotcha!!!' printed on it. Black jeans. You kept your hair open. You looked awesome. And I am really fortunate to have you. What to say? Lost for words.

* Few moments passed*

He: Heyy! Is that tears. Come on dumbo. What happened? 

She:*Sniffs* I never...  Felt like... like this.. before.. I am not beautiful, but you made me feel like one. 

He: Ha! Not beautiful. Probably you are using a wrong mirror. 

She: *slaps his leg* Hahaha! I'm glad I got you. 

He: Yeah you are soooo blessed. 

She: Hahaha! Shut up. So I have heard you are a writer. 

He: No I just write stuffs. 

She: Hahaha! Tell me something. A shayeri or something. 

He: I suck at Hindi poetry. 

She: English? 

He:Ok wait.

*Takes out his mobile and reads from it*

He: I'd walk a million miles, just to see you smile
'Til the day I die.Oh, I need you by my side, we get high on life.'Til the day we die.

She: Wow! Thats so nice. Wait a sec.

*Takes out her mobile*

She: OK google. Play high on life.
Google: Playing High on Life by Martin Garrix.

He: What the shit! 

She: Hahaha! What kind of a writer you are? Lemme check your profile. 

He: Hahaha! Here but don't read my old works. I used to write shit. 

She: Okies! Wow a dumbhead like you has got 110 followers. 

He: Yeah! Even I doubt that. But then I realise that India's most subscribed youtuber is Amit Bhadana. Then I am just me. 

She: Hahaha! So true. 

He: Wow it's 4 already! I need to head back. 

She: Ooh! Really? But it has been only a little while. 

He: I need to sleep now. You just conquered my soul. But I need my sleep. 

She:*smiles* But one should not drive while you are tired. 

He: Are you suggesting that I should stay?

She: Only if you wish. 

He: Hahaha! Let's head back now. I am damn tired and feeling sleepy too. 

She: Give me the plate. 

He: Naah! It's okay. Let's go now. 

She: Yeah your eyes are all red now. 

He: I wonder because of whom it is so.

*Both laughs*
