"Nandini!"

I turned around to see Aryamaan walking in my direction.

"Hey!" I replied seeing him while he stood right next to me with time.

"So!....you didn't ditch me!" He said with a little clap.

"Well you are on time so, what can I say!" I mocked and we broke into laughs.

"Let's go..I have loads to catch up on!" He said excited.

I already started having this sinking feeling inside me provided I had to tell him things I was caught in.

"Ya...." I faked a smile as we walked outside the office building and hired a transport.

Salt Water Cafe
6:00 pm

" One coffee!...and you!" Asked Aryamaan peeking from behind the menu card.

"Coffee as well...." I replied with hesitation.

"Okay make that two then!.." he said facing the waiter standing at our table.

I noticed the waiter left penning down the order in a while and there he was looking at me, expecting me to start the conversation.

"What!" I asked.

"Don't get me wrong...you look unexpectedly cold lately! Even though the weather is quite alright!!" he said raising his brows as he let out each word slowly.

"I....ah...." I looked around and stopped seeing the waiter hover in our direction with the coffee mugs on a tray. I waited till he served us and continued then,

"Aryamaan....I actually need your help!" I let it out looking down at the steaming cup of cappucino.

"Anything......" he said taking a sip with a smile of assurance spread over his face.

"Nandini....how did you even!" he asked.

My eyes had swollen up and were brimming with tears while I finished my dreadful story.

I had told him everything.

"I...." I said looked down as a drop of tear escaped my eyes.

"Hey....!" He said holding my hand on the table from the other side.

"Nandini....." he insisted.

"I'm okay!" I whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Mmnnn..."

"Aryamaan...I really need this favour..." I begged.

"You can count on me Nandini...."

"Thanks...." I humbly replied.

"So you practically want me to hack into Dhruv's mail....right!" He asked withdrawing his hands from over mine.

"Yes!" I nodded.

"We could do that right now!" He said pulling out the laptop from his bag.

"Wait what!" I asked raising my brows.

"Well Nandini Murthy we haven't been in touch for a while ..so just so you know that...I have taken a course in hacking and all while I was abroad...and before you get more intrigued...I ain't a stalker or a soon to become famous criminal or something okay!" he said chuckling and he logged onto his system.
