She sat in the Starbucks cafe, sipping her coffee and staring out of the window. The blood stained knife lay next to her handbag, covered with her blue silk scarf. She had no signs of worry or guilt in her eyes for what she had done. She was sitting at one of the lonely corners of Starbucks cafe, so that nobody should see her blood stained knife. 

There were no signs of guilt or remorse in her eyes and they were glittering with a hope to get something out from what she had done. Then she saw a waiter coming to her side, so she hides the knife inside her bag and closed it. It was a beautiful dawn of Pune city in the Koregaon Park area where Starbucks cafe was located and she would often come to visit this cafe to get some sips of her favorite cappuccino as usual. 

But today, the day was not usual and she had done something that most people don't do, especially the common people like her

But today, the day was not usual and she had done something that most people don't do, especially the common people like her. Her name was Kirti; a good looking gorgeous girl of around 25 years. She had curly long hairs, big black eyes and chiselled lips that were looking more luscious with her matching red colored lipsticks. She had also put some mascara on her eyelashes to make them look curvier and brighter. 

Kirti was a plus size girl having mounted curves that were looking sexy in her red colored suit and matching dupatta. Kirti was clueless about her future as she was becoming hopeless about it. She started staring at some of the passerby people out the window and thought – "How simple their life is, and my life! I may be the unluckiest person in this world." 

Half an hour was gone and Kirti was still sitting clueless at one of the corners of cafe without any hope for her future. Then, she suddenly saw her boyfriend emerging out of the front door of the cafe. Kirti was not expecting him at this time of the day since her boyfriend was a professional investment banker and he would have been at his office that time. 

Kirti tried to cover her face from her dupatta, but it was too late since he had seen her from the entrance. His name was Vikas and they had been dating each other since 6 months. Vikas was also quite skeptical about Kirti because of her unusual behaviour and bad temper. Kirti would often try to hurt Vikas many times in this short period of time and Vikas understood that this girl is not his kind of girl. 

Still, he was looking for a fair chance to tell her this. He slowly came near her and said – 

"Hi Kirit! How are you doing?" 

Kirit was a bit baffled because she was not expecting Vikas, still she managed to control her emotions and replied –

"Ahh... H.. Hi Vikas! What are you doing here? Didn't you go to your bank?" 

Kirit asked in a stuttering manner. 

"Ah.. Nothing, I just had to go to Mumbai for a meeting in the evening so I thought to take some sips of coffee. But what you are doing here?" Vikas asked 

"Ah... N... Nothing, I was just looking to have some fresh air and my favorite coffee. My cappuccino maker at home is not working so I thought why not try having it here." She replied in fumbling manner.
