Between Us💌

Coffee☕

After an hour of overthinking, Sara texted him when she was finally settled on her bed and it was sharp 11 at night.

Hi~S

Hey, what's up?~ K

Sara smiled faintly, a little surprised at how quickly he responded. Was he waiting...no..maybe he had found someone to talk with that late. No he had insomnia but it was only 11. Oh God!

So about that coffee~ S

She paused, wondering if she should leave it at that or add something more. Before she could decide, a reply popped up almost immediately.

Wasn't sure you'd message. Still up for it?~ K

Yeah I mean what's wrong having coffee as we are co-actors again ~ S

Yeah Co actors:) ~Kf

Did you just ask me anyways?~ S

I wanted you to agree just wasn't sure ~ K

Yeah It's better to discuss ourselves before the workshops start ~ S

So let's meet at our Cafe Mazi~ K

You still remember which one we used to call our cafe Mazi in Mumbai? ~ S

Should I forget? ~ K

See you then...Good night~ S

Good Night Sara ~ K

She put her phone down and felt a strange sense of calm. The uncertainty was still there, but so the possibility of something new, something different.

On the other hand, he knew that the road ahead wouldn't be easy, but one step at a time.

Both of them knew that the news of them coming together spread like fire. Their admirers had gone crazy. The entire insta feed of them were full of their edits. They were on trending on X.

At 5 pm,

"Vhai kaha ho aap?" Kritika said when he received the phone. He was just about to go to the cafe.

"Busy hu kittu...kuch important kaam tha kya?" he asked.

"Nahi baas ese hi phone kiya"

"Ohh...ek important meeting hain to ek do ghante tak busy rahunga"

He cut the call and sighed. He didn't tell anyone that he was going to meet Sara. It wasn't like his family wouldn't approve. Even his family might adore Sara more than him. It was just that he didn't know why he had to maintain his grumpy demeanour all along. He though had a smirk thinking how happy their genuine fans would be if somehow they saw them together.

"Kya haal chaal behna!" Ibrahim barged into Sara's room while she was combing her hair.

"Knock karke aya kar iggy" she said frustratedly

"Kahi ja rahe ho aap? should I drop you?"

"Nahi...meri kuch girl friends ke saath ja rahi hu" she said taking her purse.

"Ohhhh accha...then enjoy" Ibrahim smiled and she left.

She let out a breathe. She was hoping that they didn't get papped. She didn't know that why she was hiding and meeting like that. Maybe she didn't want anyone to think it otherwise other than a casual coffee meeting between co actors.
She also wanted whatsoever in between them to protect from evil eyes of the world. She didn't want chaos about them.

As she entered to the cafe, the soft hum of conversations and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee created a calming atmosphere.He was already waiting for her their.
