"Can we meet?"

Her text left him speechless. He didn't know if he should give a positive or negative reply. They both knew that this could be the only possible chance to meet each other face to face. They didn't want to let the golden opportunity slip from their hands. But they were hesitating to initiate this conversation because they were thinking about what the other person might think about them. Now that she had initiated it, he was in a dilemma.

"I mean, if you are comfortable.... I know it's too much to ask, but you got me curious." She quickly sent him another text defending herself as if she knew that what was going on in his mind. He raised his brows seeing her text. He was surprised that someone was actually curious about him.

"I wonder what got you curious about me? I'm kinda boring! But I guess we can."

'Kya yeh ladki uss jaisi dikhti hogi? Iske saare thoughts usse kyu milte hai?' (Would this girl be looking like her? Why is it that all her thoughts are similar to her?) He thought. The secret that no one knew about. She was his favorite author because her thoughts, her attitude was very similar to someone special to him.

"Trust me, you didn't seem like a boring person so far

"Trust me, you didn't seem like a boring person so far."

"If you say so."

"Toh hum mil sakte hai?" (So, can we meet?)He could literally feel her excitement through the text.

"Yeah, sure."

"But there's a condition!" He sent another text when he remembered something.

"I can't reveal my identity. But I really want to meet you. We should find some alternatives. Don't get me wrong. Iam not disrespecting you." He was astonished to find her having same thoughts as him. Actually he wanted to say the same to her. Even though he liked her, he didn't think it was ideal to reveal their identities to each other.

"No, it's okay. Tumne meri muh ki baat cheen li. (You took the words right out of my mouth.) I was about to say the same. Got any ideas how we could meet each other without revealing our identities?"

"We can cover our faces with masks!"

"Good. But then how would we recognize each Other? We never saw each other's faces. And where are we going to meet?"

"We will recognize through our outfits. Black cap, white shirt and blue Jean. What say?"

"Done."

"I'll share the location later."

Advait who had just returned to his mansion was surprised to see his brother. He was sitting on the sofa crossing his knees like a king. The usual easy atmosphere felt cold and unfamiliar in his presence. But Advait was more surprised to see the man smiling at his phone. He made a note in his mind to ask him about that later.
