The view from the balcony was great. There stood a man probably the gardener watering the plants. There were roses. In pink, red, yellow and white and there was jasmine too. It was beautiful to look at from the angle through which Christine gazed gripping her hands tightly to the railing and spreading a big smile on her face.

"Heyy..you woke up!"exclaimed a surprised Rahul then backing away to the smaller room realising that he was in his boxers. He quickly slid into black tracks and then approached Christine.

Christine was in Rahul's plain white shirt and dark blue denim. Clearing his throat to gain attention, Rahul asked," so how was your hangover?"

"It was kinda bad. I was drunk too much." As she looked into Rahul's eyes and then added again "there needs to be sunshine or it would rain heavily on you!"she winked placing her blonde hair to a side and then beginning to twirl it in her finger.

"I dint get you...what does that mean?" questioned Rahul.

"I asked you to kiss me last night..but you denied telling that you like a Sapna" whispered Christine making a duck face she continued "today early in the morning when I woke up I approached you,you were sleeping" looking away she continued "I answered a FaceTime call from a Sapna..before letting me speak she hung up!" Blurted out Christine.

"Oh..no I don't want to kiss you,...Sapna would have thought that I was with you and having..."as he narrowed his eyes on the ring that sparkled on his finger and winced.

"You like that girl right" replied Christine examining the ring in his finger and then facing away trying to hide her expressionless face from Rahul.

"Yeah...You wait here...i'll go get ready,we'll have breakfast and then I'll drop you home" he sighed.

He headed to his closet and picking out a pair of jeans and a grey t-shirt he rushed to the bathroom allowing the door to close behind him.

When he came out he figured no trace of Christine. He rushed downstairs and asked Lalu who was busy wiping the table "where's Christine?"

With a broken front-tooth smile he replied," she left fifteen mins back, I asked her to stay for breakfast but she just went away." And then he nodded.

"It's ok you set the table, and don't forget to place a cheese omelette" Rahul spoke in a low tone.

"Yeah..bhaiya I'll be quick"and rushed to the kitchen.

A sense of dejection and sadness overpowered him. Sapna might not speak to him, and Christine his classmate walked away heartbroken maybe. I want to be that good Indian guy and be that one woman man! Thoughts ran inside his head and gritting his teeth he dint know what to do. Getting stuck up in a confused situation which now turned into something seriously dangerous to his love life he winced.
