"Be mine", I whispered as I leaned forward, not able to control my brimming impulse and craving to get a taste of her soul through her lips.

"Who?", asked Malar unsure about the person at the other end.
"Ashwin", the voice answered.
"Which Ashwin?", she asked again.
"Which... which Ashwin? Arghh. CRICKETER ASHWIN", he stressed the last few words.
"How can I believe that", she began munching the sandwich while waiting for the answer.
"Hospital, misunderstandings, journalists, you forgot everything Karunai Malar?"
Malar choked at her sandwich upon hearing the other person's reply. Her friend gave her a glass of water and asked,

"Noth..nothing. Just a minute, I'll be back", Malar quickly walked away from the table and stood near a window which was quiet away from her friend.
"Yeah, yes Ashwin", now she totally believes that the person is none other than Jerone himself.
"So, do you believe me now?"
"Hmm, I do believe. What's the issue sir?", Malar was nervous and still couldn't understand the reason for his call.
"I want to talk to you about something important", Ashwin stressed the last word.
"It's okay, you can tell that now", she hurried to cut the call as soon as possible.

"I won't come, what mistake did I commit in that place? I won't come tomorrow", she insisted.
"If you don't want to tangle up yourself in controversy, come tomorrow or else don't ", finished Ashwin.
"I will not and I don't care about that. Just a photo can't change my future"
"Hotel Le Royal Méridien at 10 a.m.", he cut the call leaving Malar in her cloudy thoughts.
(Malar pov: What the heck. He's ordering me to come as if I'm his girlfriend, why should I? Idiot)
