"Priyankha?" I called.

"I don't think I wanna talk about it......not now" She said.

"Okay Rohan what happened next"

"Okay so after a horrible train ride we finally reached Mumbai and it was time for me to say goodbye to Lali"

Rohan's POV

"So I guess this is it" I said.

"Ya"

"So what are gonna do now? Where are you gonna go"

"Don't know, I will just figure something out"

"Okay then, keep in touch"

"Okay"

She said as she hugged me and started walking away but something in me said that I shouldn't leave her alone.

"Hey........"

I called she stopped and looked back at me.
"What?" She asked.

"It may sound really weird but I have an awfully large apartment and you really need a place to stay so.......if it doesn't feel too weird you can stay with me"

She came and stood in front of me.

"I left the city I grew up in, my whole family, the only friends I had and came to this unknown city without any plan whatsoever to fulfil an impossible dream and to get away from the I love do you think I care if the only possible way of staying alive is weird?"

She asked with a smile. I smiled back.

"Wow" She said looking around.

"Well it cost me a lifetime of loan payment" I joked.

"I will pay you rent though.......I will try and get a job soon" Lali said.

"I would have said no and tried to be nice but I am technically broke so why not"

Lali smiled.

"You can take that room" I said pointing at a room which was supposed to be a guest room, I handed her over a spare key.

"Okay cool" She said going inside.

The next morning when I woke up she was still sleeping so I made some breakfast left some money on the counter for her with a note and left for my auditions. But when I came back the money was still there and she was not home so I decided to go to the café downstairs and get a cold coffee.

"Excuse me" I said to a waitress, but I was shocked to see it was Lali.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Guess what they let me be a waitress here, so I am paying rent after all"

"Good for you"

"Okay what you want"

"A special cold coffee"

"Coming right up" She said and have the order.

"Oh one of your friends came to return your bike today" She said handing me the keys.

"Great, I missed my bike"

"You never told me you had a bullet you should let me drive sometimes"

"You know how to ride a bike?"

"I had a bullet back home but I had to sell it to come here"

"Okay then I will let you ride it sometimes"
