Again, as usual,
they woke up and went to work. Again, they returned home from work at night.
Thus, the days passed. One day, a neighbor from the adjacent quarters knocked on Shruti's door. Shruti came and opened it.
Neighbor: "Hi, dear."
Shruti: "Please come inside."
Neighbor: "It's okay, it's late."
Shruti: "Tell me."
Neighbor: "It's my daughter's birthday today, so... please come and go."
Shruti: "Oh, okay."
Neighbor: "You must definitely come."
Shruti: "Definitely, aunty."
Saying this, the neighbor left.

At night, at 9:00 o'clock, the neighbor's daughter's 5th birthday was organized. Shruti went there. The decorations were done very grandly. Shruti entered inside. Anirudh had also come there. There was one thing they didn't know about each other. The birthday began. They blasted confetti. The golden confetti papers flew into the air. Anirudh laughed looking at them scattering above. Shruti raised her face and started looking up. As the confetti papers began to fall down, both of their eyes met each other. The birthday celebration reached its peak. That "first look" lasted only a few moments! As soon as they saw each other, their eyes shyly looked away. But still, they had seen each other. The birthday ended and everyone left.

Another day, Shruti finished her work and came out.
"Oh no, my phone has no charge. I forgot to bring my power bank," she said and opened the Ola cab app. She came and stood at a bus stop. The phone switched off.
On the other side, Anirudh-
"Won't be able to come today."
Ravi: "No, bro, there's a bit more work. It may go beyond 10 o'clock."
Anirudh: "Okay, leave it. Take care," he said and cut the call.
"Oh... now I don't have money in my pocket, not even in PhonePe. What can I do now!?"
He became upset.

Here, Shruti sat not knowing what to do. Since it was night, she felt a little scared.
"What should I do now?" she was thinking, when she heard the sound of someone walking toward her. She turned around-and it was Anirudh!!

He gently looked toward her. Between them, once again, that same "look." The half-moon seemed to smile softly.
Anirudh: "Hi... you're the one I saw at that birthday party the other day, right?"
Shruti, in a soft voice: "Yes... yes."
Anirudh: "Where do you work?"
Shruti remained silent.
Anirudh again: "Hello, ma'am, I'm asking you!"
Shruti looked at him with an upset expression and said, "At a mall!"
Anirudh, a little scared: "Oh, okay," and sat down.
Both of them sat at both ends of the bus stop.

It was nearing 11:00 o'clock. Ravi hadn't come.
Anirudh wondered, "Why is she still here?"
She too wondered, "Why is he still here?"
Anirudh, hesitantly:
"Uh... why haven't you gone yet? Why are you still here?"
Shruti still didn't speak.
With more nervousness, he said, "Ma'am."
To that, Shruti said, "The cab will come, that's why."
Anirudh: "Oh, okay!" He stood there, giving a side look with one eye.
"Even after so long, the cab still hasn't come?"
Shruti let out an angry breath and said, "It will come!"
He became silent.

After 2 minutes, Anirudh understood that she might not have money either.
"Look, I don't have any money! Your quarters are near where I stay, so if you come, we can go together."
She sat without saying anything.
He stood there nervously.
He waited for two minutes, wondering whether she would come or not.
Thinking, "Maybe she won't come..." he started walking away from there.
But...
