It has been all flowery since I got back.
It could be too early to say that as it was just the second day, but yeah. Every freaking moment should count.
I was looking through the archives when I got a text. It was Megha.
Wow! I could get used to this.
In the text, she asked me to be at Sid's nursery by seven in the evening.
His nursery?
I asked her if everything was okay, she said yes and told me not to be late. It was barely three-thirty, still an hour or so to go, but I decided it was time to head home.

"You look good, bhai. Going on a date?" Sid chipped in from somewhere. "Oh! It's that perfume from Dubai, yes? You still have it?"
"I opened it today. Never really had the chance to use it, you know." I shrugged.
"So, where are you taking my bhabhi?" He egged me with his shoulder.
"Megha? No, Amara called me." I tried very hard to keep a straight face.
