Due to my health issue, the update got delayed. Sorry for that.

Next Morning

Pragya came back to the cafe sadly. Her mind was clouded with Abhi's thoughts. She hasn't even thought about her crush this much, but this tuxedo guy is making her go crazy.

She saw Bulbul attending to the customers and sighed. Moving her thoughts aside, she changed herself and started for the day. She needed to forget about that and move on. No one can force her to anything, not even that tuxedo.

She saw Gautham entering the cafe as usual and approaching her.

"Same cupertino?" Pragya asked, knowing his preference.

"Do I get that alone, or do I need to fight for it?"

"No no, I didn't mean that way." Pragya said, nervously. "I mean, I see you drinking it like everyday, so I just..."

Gautham laughed when he saw her. "Hey, I was just messing around."

Pragya calms, hearing it. This is the first-time she is having an actual conversation with him. "Then what do you want?"

"Can I get your date for a date?"

Pragya was stunned, hearing it. That was unexpected. Gautham is her crush and this is what she was waiting for. She could take a little break from her normal, hectic life and explore the life of dating. But why is that tuxedo's face coming in front of her eyes, thinking about a date?

"Well... My shift gets over at 9pm at Nair's hotel." That's a bold move.

"Then it's 9:30." Gautham said with a wink and Pragya's cheek became red-shaded, she couldn't shake the feeling of being seen by Bulbul.

What she doesn't know is that someone is watching her from a car, opposite to her cafe like usual.

"So, it's 9:30. Interesting." Abhi said, while sipping his coffee. His face looks calm, as his grip gets tightened on his coffee cup, the ceramic cracking slightly.

****************

Evening, after the shift, she saw Gautham waiting for her outside. Pragya smiles at him, leaving her nervousness aside.

"Hey Gautham..." Pragya said smiling.

"You look... Beautiful." Pragya was wearing a simple jean and crop top and leaving her hair free and wavy. She took time, working on her look with minimal yet class make-up.

"Thank you and you look great."

"Thanks." Gautham was wearing casual pants and T-shirt with an over-coat.

"Shall we?" Gautham asked, offering his hand. Pragya held it with a smile.

Abhi was sitting inside his car, looking at both of them walking together, holding hands. "Let's have a little fun, shall we?" He murmured, taking a bite of the roll he had in his hands.

Gautham and Pragya took a seat in a cafe. "This place looks beautiful." Pragya said, smiling happily.

"Do you wanna order something?" Gautham asks and Pragya starts to go through her menu card.

"I would like to start with a coffee." Pragya says and Gautham starts to order. Her eyes started to wander around the cafe. It is a small, yet cozy coffee shop. She could see a few customers, majorly couples.
