Number, Please

Prayas came back to find her in a sound sleep. Finally, this was the day when he didn't hear her ask him why he killed Adhir, and tears welled up in his eyes. He lay beside her pulling her into a hug. Somewhere he knew it was wrong to hug her but he needed it.

Prayas left after some time so when the day began he could meet her and talk with her. He was nervous and excited at the same time.

Today, he tried to dress up well. It was not a date but he was meeting Sati again. With a smile on his face, he went to her bakery.

Sati was already in her bakery cafe and welcomed him with a big smile.

"Hey," he waved at her.

Sati just stared at him with her heart thundering on her chest. He looked more handsome than before. She loved everything about him. His tattoos, his dreads everything.

"Why don't you take a seat?" she suggested.
