AUTHOR'S POV

"Wait here, I will come back in a second" Nirvaan said parking his car on the roadside.

"Where are you going?" she asked as she saw him taking his wallet from the dashboard.

"Wait here" he just replied this much moving out of the car and walking inside the sweet shop.

Meanwhile, she looked around his car.

It looked expensive.

He himself looked quite affluent and well-spoken.

So, he must have kept himself clean too, wouldn't he?

She talked to herself till the time he came back.

He again started driving in silence.

Actually, he tried to initiate the conversation but she dismissed him as if he is a leech.

He parked the car and they ran inside the lift.

He was whistling and checking his phone with a paper bag in his hand while waiting for the lift to reach their floor.

She was the first to come out of the lift.

She was finding her apartment keys.

"Ms, Neighbor I bought some samosas. Do you want some?" he asked while opening his apartment.

Although the offer was mouth-watering, she can't bow down in front of him.

"No thanks and thank you for the ride" she said nonchalantly.

"You are welcome" he replied but...she was already gone by then.

"Strange woman" he muttered and moved inside his flat, locking the door behind him.

...

Here on the other side, there is a World War 3 going on between Vaidehi's subconscious and Vaidehi's subconscious.

"The offer was tempting" voiced out her angel side of the subconscious.

"But you can't let your guard's down" the devil part argued.

"It's not like you are going to sleep with him"

"What if he tries to trap you?"

"Oh please, you also know now that he is decent, maybe he does all those things with his girlfriend only, right? Moreover, it's just a matter of 1 samosa or maybe 2"

"You can again eat Maggie"

"But you want to eat samosa"

"Then go and buy yourself"

"It's raining heavily outside"

"Then..."

"SHUT UP! YOU BOTH!" she shouted and unlocked her flat's main door.

...

Tring...tring...tring...

"Hold on...I'm coming" Nirvaan shouted from inside as he put on a T-shirt around himself and ran to open the door.

"Ms. Neighbor?" he chirped as soon as he saw her small figure outside his door frame.

"What? Started missing me already huh?" he smirked leaning against his door frame.

"Hey, Mr. Self-obsessed Neighbor, can I come in?" she crossed her arms near her chest and huffed.

"Ah...sure" he stepped aside to let her in.

Once she entered inside, he locked the door behind her and walked up to the couch upon which almost his entire house was dumped.

"Sorry I am not a cleanliness freak like you" he apologized picking up the pile of clothes.

Cleanliness freak? She? Yeah sure.

She rolled her eyes. Typical bachelors.

"Yeah, as if you are better than him with your clothes piled up on the chair" he subconscious injected.

"Sit" he motioned her coming out of the room.

She fake smiled at him while looking at the couch from the corner of her eyes.

"It looks clean" she thought.

He smiled back because he thought she genuinely smiled at him.

She dropped herself upon the cozy couch and patted the space beside her, signaling him to join her.

He smiled and gladly joined her.

"So?" he asked

"So?" she asked back.

"What made you come here?" he elaborated.

"Umm...I thought about your proposal and I think it's valid. So, I think I can accept it" she explained fidgeting with her fingers.

"Proposal? Which proposal?" he furrowed his brows in confusion.

"Umm...to eat samosas with you" she replied and...

The entire apartment filled with the gigantic laughter of the owner, who was almost lying on the couch holding his stomach.

"Proposal? Samosas?" he laughed more at the thought.

"I thought to accompany you because you are alone but here you are laughing at my kind act. I am going" she stood up huffing in anger.

"Ok ok sorry" he held her hand controlling his laugh.

She glared at him.

"I am so grateful for your kind act. Thank you so much for accompanying me, Ms. Neighbor. Please take a seat in the balcony. I will come with the order soon" he bowed down like a waiter and went inside the kitchen.

After a long time, a small smile crept onto her face seeing his antics.

She moved towards the balcony and was shocked to see it.

The entire balcony was decorated with fairy lights.

Nobody could say that a male had decorated it. Her own balcony looked so bland in front of this.

He came back and served them the samosas.

"You want more?" he asked after she finished her first.

"Ok if you are insisting this much" she shrugged her shoulders.

"Yeah, of course, I am insisting" he smiled shaking his head and serving her one more...
