The much awaited monday was finally here. They had met yesterday, and it was not supposed to be that much of a big deal but it was, for the two of them. They knew each other for the last sixteen months and had been something more than strangers but less than friends. Both Shehnaaz and Siddharth had been harbouring within themselves, feelings that they had dared only to confess to themselves. Their meeting from a day before had not only solidified their own feelings but had also managed to give them a glimpse into the heart of the other person. Even though none of them had been vocal about their emotions, they both saw that there was hope for their feelings to be reciprocated.

It was a special day for both of them as it was the first time that they would see each other as more than mere acquaintances who smiled at each other every morning before leaving for work. Today would mark the beginning of a different kind of dynamic between the two of them, while it was not a necessarily romantic one but was sure to be different from what they'd had in the previous months. When Siddharth had visited Shehnaaz yesterday in her apartment and inquired about her reason for not showing up on the front door, he had taken the first step that Shehnaaz was too shy or nervous to do on her own, even though she knew she wanted to. 

Shehnaaz was rummaging through her wardrobe, looking for the perfect outfit to wear. There was a permanent smile etched on her face, her face glowing in anticipation as well as nervousness of seeing Siddharth for the first time since their unexpected conversation yesterday, while it might sound crazy, she felt like she was going to see a completely different person today. The thought made her nervous, yet strangely happy. She took a deep breath, trying to regulate her heartbeat which was all over the place. 

At five minutes to nine, both Shehnaaz and Siddharth opened the door of their respective apartments at the same time and looked in the direction of the other person's apartment as if on instinct. They smiled at each-other, as per tradition. "Good Morning Siddharth." Shehnaaz chirped sweetly, causing the smile on Siddharth's face to broaden. "Good Morning Shehnaaz." He wished back, his eyes shining, voice deep and husky. 

Shehnaaz wore light grey cotton saree. Her hair were left open in a side parting and her perfectly luscious looking lips were highlighted with a red lipstick, her eyes were filled thickly with kohl. She held a handbag in her left hand, Her neck adorned with a simple gold chain which had a small circular diamond locket dangling at the end. She wore beautiful silver drop earrings while Siddharth was wearing a white shirt with grey blazer and dark blue jeans. His hair were neatly gelled. A Rolex on his right hand, his I-Phone XI  in his left made him look no less than a greek god in real life. For a good few seconds, both Shehnaaz and Siddharth couldn't take their eyes off the other person, wondering in the deepest of their minds how the other person could look so completely and flawlessly hot.
