It was a beautiful Sunday.

The sun was shining with some pleasant rays outside. Shreya loved this kind of a weather.

She and Shivam were going out today on a kind of date, though none of their dates end up like the usual ones. It was all about eating good food and having ice creams.

Three days have passed since the 'pendrive' incident. Everything was going fine in their lives. Sangeeta was leaning on the sofa surfing the music channels in the television, but failed to find anything to watch.

"I'm leaving. I'll be home by evening", Shreya's voice was heard near the main door.

"Okay. Be safe and enjoy your day. Bye dear." , She replied.

"Bye" , Shreya waved at her friend and went out.

Sangeeta sighed as she was going to be all alone for the rest of the day. It was not like that Shreya didn't ask her to join her. But it didn't seem to be fair to her to be barging into somebody else's date.

After the lunch, Sangeeta wanted to take a good nap. Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Hello? Sangeeta! You're home in the evening?", Saurav asked from the other side.

"Yes, I'll be home. Why?" , She asked back.

"I wanted to visit your place. I had something to talk about."

"Umm. Okay. Come then."

Sangeeta thought about what could he have to talk about. But she knew she had enough time to take this good beauty sleep. So she laid down on her bed.

Soon, her eyelids came closer to each other and she fell into deep slumber.

Sangeeta's P O V:

It was around 5pm when the doorbell made its usual sound. But the sound was a little hyper.
I got up and by having a glance on my phone, I understood why someone was going torturous over my little doorbell.

9 missed calls from Saurav.

It was enough to make him feel anxious about me. 

I went to the door and opened it having a pouty face.
"I was sleeping and having some mesmerizing dreams, you know"
I told him.

He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Okay okay sorry! Come inside", I pulled him inside of the flat and locked the door.

"So... ", He didn't let me finish my sentence and raised his hand having some packets, seemed to be food.

I changed my expression and with wide eyes and a wide grin I asked, "pastries?"

He nodded to say yes to my question.

I grabbed it from his hand and immediately went to the kitchen to get some dishes.

"Let's talk after we eat. " He said and I agreed.

We were almost done with the pastries when I found him staring at me. As my eyes found his ones, flustered, he smiled a little.

"Sangeeta do you think I made a mistake?"

"About what?", I asked back.

"About my life?" He said.

"I don't understand Saurav!", I stammered.

"Neither I. Am I confused? I shouldn't be, right?"

I didn't understand a single word he was blabbering. "Saurav get straight to the point. What happened? Tell me."

"Sangeeta.. ", he stopped. Then again he tried to construct a perfect sentence. "Sangeeta, would it be unfair to Mitali if I-- if I say that -- that I could never totally forget you?"
