Bonus 1:
“So, Irfan.. when you said you loved me..”
“Love. I love you. Present tense.”
“Okay, yes. When you said that, were you like 70-80% sure? Or maybe like 95%?”
“Hmm.. let me think. Yeah, that's not accurate. I think I was around 101% sure.. Now, why are you laughing?”
“I.. I just can't help it. Seriously? Are you lying to me?”
“I believe I'm lying next to you. Not 'to you’..”
“Stop it. Today was weird as it is. No need for you to add to that. Answer straight.”
“Ok. Shoot.”
“Do you really, really believe that you fell in love with me in under 24 hours?”
“Well, good point. Counter point: didn't you fall in love with me too?”
“Well, yes.. but..”
“But?”
“But that's me. I'm impulsive like that.”
“Then Meetha, I am impulsive too. I mean, look at me, alone in a room with a girl I just met yesterday. Ooh.. how scandalous! Ouch!”
“Gotta say, I like this idea of yours to push the cots closer like this. So convenient for retribution!”
“This wasn't what I had in mind! Do you also hit Mithun like this?”
“Haha.. He has it worse than you could ever imagine.”
“You are a scary big sister. But Mithun probably deserves half of it. Speaking from a younger brother's pov.”
“True. That idiot never keeps to himself. He annoys the shit out of me! Buffalo! Pch.. but I miss him. I kinda wish he would come back.”
“Hey.. Do you wanna call him?”
“Mhm.. no.. I probably gave him enough stress for a week when we talked yesterday. If I tell him what happened today, he might faint.”
“He'll probably be in his hospital.. So you know, help will be available. What? Don't look at me like that! I was simply telling the truth!”
“Anyways, I'm not gonna discuss my love life with my family when they all are abroad, busy with their own lives. If they wanna know, let them come back.”
“Meetha.. that's not fair..”
“I know. But.. I miss them. Am I not allowed to?”
“Hey, you need not be ‘allowed’ to feel your feelings. They are your right. I'm just saying, be a bit open with your family.”
“Later. Not now.”
“Fine. What do you want to do now? Considering we're alone in a room– Ouch! I am not liking this ‘closer cots’ idea very much!”
“Behave yourself, Qureshi. Be the gentleman you were yesterday.”
“That gentleman was insanely tired. Now he's full of energy, most of which he got from the dramatic love confession he received today.”
“Oh stop it!”
“You look so so beautiful when you blush like that, Meethu.”
“.....”
“Meetha.. What happened? Did I do something wrong? Why are your eyes damp? I'm sorry I just called it because I thought you liked it–”
“My family calls me that. Mostly dad and Mithun.”
