" Hey," I said in low voice.

" Hey " he replied.

That it, we both stood in awkward silence, has We both didn't know what to speak. After some time I decided to break the silence.

" I'm Aaranya"

" I'm Manik Malhotra "

" Aaru you speak to a lot, shut up "

" mmm mm "

" Okay I will remove my hands but you promise you won't speak okay," he said in a warning but calm tone.
