*INCOMING CALL FROM FIRECRACKER*

"Hey. I did not type that. That was not me. You should know that!"

"I know, firecracker. Even if you wanted me in your bed, you wouldn't admit it."

"That's not the point! It was Ishita. You know, the one who got fired from the coffee shop?"

"Ah, our cupid. Thank her for me."

"Shut up."

"So, why did she have your phone?"

"Keerthy, my other best friend is getting married. We were getting our mehendi done. I gave my phone to Ish for TEN minutes. And you chose that time to text me."

"It's my fault now?"

"No, it's not. I'm just... ugh, embarrassed. I would never say that. I don't want you to misunderstand."

"What if I want to misunderstand?"

"W-What?"

"What if I want to think you like me secretly?"

"You must be delusional."

"Maybe I am. Maybe I am not. You know who's lying here, don't you?"

"Silence isn't a good look on you, firecracker."

"I'm sorry. We'll not discuss it again unless you want to, okay?"

"Okay."

"I am sorry, jaan."

"It's fine."

"Your voice sounds dead. Scold me. Tease me. Insult me. Throw me your best filthy words."

"You make it sound like you only like that part of me."

"I like EVERYTHING about you, jaan. But I like it more when you have your claws out. Sizzling with energy and life. When you go silent, it makes me sad. It makes me want to do something crazy to put that smile back on your face."

"Veer?"

"Yes, jaan?"

"Can you not be so nice to me?"

"No can do."

"Please?"

"Look at you, using the golden words. But it's still a no. It's too late, firecracker."

"Let's just move on. Why did you text me?"

"Not that you need a reason to but um, you know what I mean, right?"

"You are all over the place today. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Tell me. Did something happen?"

"No. I wanted to ask you if you are free tomorrow."

"I have to do some research. It's casual. Nothing serious. That's my only time allowance for the day, as per the bride's request. I am at her command for the rest of the day. Why do you ask?"

"I want to see you."

"Like meet me?"

"Yes, firecracker."

"Now what is this research? Is there any way I could help?"

"You can keep me company, I guess."

"I can? Where should I meet you?"

"The mall. EA."

"What kind of research are you doing in the mall?"

"Nothing for you to worry about."

"Wow, cannot wait."

"Is that sarcasm, genius?"

"I can't believe we are meeting for the first time in a crowded mall."

"You are the one who wanted to meet me tomorrow. We can postpone it but I can only make time for you after Keerthy's wedding. Is that alright?"

"No, thanks. I can't wait till then."

"10 am. Meet me in front of Starbucks in EA."

"Yes, Ma'am."

"What's this silence for now?"

"Veer, I am nervous. Fuck, it's only just registering now. What if it becomes weird after we meet?"

"It won't. Trust me, jaan. It won't. I won't let it."

"Promise?"

"Promise."
