Alia arrived at Sofitel early morning 9:30, which apparently isn't early morning but for her it was, she has been awake since morning and was kind of exhausted now. She went to the receptionist and showed them her ID.
"5th floor, 2nd room on the left.", She explained to her and alia mumbled a thankyou before walking away, with her luggage, she had two bags and considering her sleepy state it was difficult for her to carry, there were not a lot of staffs available on the ground floor, she walked to the elevator and pressed the button keeping a hand on her face, caressing her forehead. She didn't even realise when the elevator opened.
"Excuse me?", A male voice brought her out of her sleepy state and she looked up with surprised expressions, immediately recognising who that person was.
"Sorry, it's just, i...i... Umm nevermind.", She said and moved aside to let her go, she wasn't the one to feel shy or awkward but considering the fact that she was really sleepy and as she assumed looked like shit, she didn't want to face him.
"Do you need help with that?", He asked her pointing to her luggage.
"No.. no... I'll manage.", She said, managing to put a smile on her face.
"Wait, it's no big problem, let me help you.", He insisted and stepped back in the elevator, taking a hold of her suitcase in one hand and other bag in another
"It's fine, you don't have to...", She was saying but that person cut her off mid sentence.
"Relax. It's not something really great that I'm doing, itna to as a human I'm obliged to do for another human.", He said genuinely with a smile, and she gave him back another genuine smile.
"By the way, I'm Shreyas.", He said, introducing himself to the beautiful stranger on the lift.
"Alia. And ya, I know who you are. I'm from India.", She said and Shreyas's smile grew wider.
"Oh that's great.", He said, and the elevator door opened. He carried her stuff to her room.
"Thanks Shreyas.", Alia turned to him with a sweet smile.
"Anytime. You'll be staying here only?", Shreyas asked her.
"For now. Yes. I'll see you again hopefully.", She said.
"Yes. Hopefully.", Shreyas said.
"Bye. Have a good day. And thankyou again.", Alia said and shreyas waved at her before leaving and alia closed the door, flopping down on the bed.

Rishab's POV:
Me, prithvi and Shreyas were playing COD in the lobby of the hotel, since only a few people were there apart from us and we kind of had the whole Sofitel to themselves.
"Shrey tu itna kharab kabse khelne laga.", I said, a little surprised as we is a pro COD player.
"I'm saving my energy for the field.", Shreyas said and earned awful glances from both Prithvi and me.
But suddenly my eyes fell on a girl, who I thought looked very familiar. I woke up from my seat and started walking towards her.
"Kya hua? Bhabhi aayi hai kya?", Prithvi asked.
"Nahi nahi.", I said and kept walking without realising that both idiots have followed me.
"Alia?", I said walking up to that girl, she turned to face me.
"Hello Jiju!", She said with a huge smile on her face and I just stood there shocked.
"Tum? Yahan?", I asked her and she laughed seeing my reaction.
