The road in front of the roadside café is very dusty. It's just 9 AM in the morning but the hot and humid weather makes it appear as afternoon.
Soumik parks his car right in front of the café parking slot, over the main road itself and takes out his phone.
"Hey! I have reached. Where are you?. .Please come quickly. Else. she will have to wait unnecessarily." - Soumik speaks with someone over the phone and tucks it in his pocket. He then enters inside.
His face is looking gloomy due to the fight he had with Prithika yesterday night.
"It was just some kisses. I didn't do anything else. In spite of very strong will to do so, I resisted. Do you know why? Because your face came in front every time, he kissed me. Is this what you call cheating? "
Prithika's loud words banged before his ears. He sat down on a corner side table with two chairs.
"At that time we weren't even together. And I liked him too. You fucking bastard! You had cheated on me multiple times, when you were trying to woo me for 2 long years. All you explained to me every time you got caught was that we were not a couple then. And now 7 months after that incident, when I have finally said Yes to you, long back, you are getting pissed at such a small incident and that too when I myself shared it. Remember mistakes do happen. You never confessed to me on your one night flings but I still chose you. And I never asked for any explanation. And here you are, judging me for something which I did only once, and that too after after my self confession. You are such a two faced diplomat" - Prithika shouts on Soumik and slaps him.
Soumik's hands move automatically over his face and tears roll out of his eyes.

Samprit parks his car outside the café and dials a number after taking out his phone.
"Hi! Yes, I have reached. Don't worry, I will be okay. Let's see what he has to say..." - Samprit blurts out and disconnects the call after a brief pause. He then walks inside.
Once inside, Samprit spots Soumik on one corner and walks towards him. He sits down on the opposite chair.
"Hi!" - Samprit speaks.
Soumik remains calm for some more time and shouts out - "So, you are the one who slept with my to be fiancée. And then you have the guts to call me and tell me to meet you and that you have to say something. Can I know what you have to say? You have already fucked her. "
His voice pitch was quite loud for a few tables nearby and so the people sitting on them starts looking towards them.
Samprit remains calm and composed. He has faced multiple similar situations in the past and other times, it wasn't his fault. He chooses to be silent for some more time and then mutters - "Listen very clearly to what I am going to say! We had just shared a few kisses. Sleeping and fucking is completely out of chapter. At that point of time, I had just broken up and was very much needy. She also wasn't having the best time of her life, I suppose based on the fact that you were banging random girls just because you needed to quench your sexual thirst. I know she never said you "Yes" then but wasn't it obvious!! She might have needed time and all you did was instead of respecting it, you started with random flings. So, in short she was needy too and then that happened. But she stopped me right where she had to and also when I proposed her, she rejected me so that she could be with you. And now, after she has finally chosen you and confessed, you are feeling skeptical. Are you still the supposed asshole you were back then, as per what I have heard or you have become even a bigger one now?"
Soumik raises up his fists but Samprit holds his hand firmly and silently mutters - "Dude, I am a black belt in Karate. You seriously want to do this? Instead listen to me and we can do it peacefully. What are you angry at? She didn't ever cheat on you. You should be happy that she finally chose you. All I got was a few kisses and you are getting to spend your life with someone you have wanted to be since long. Would you give it up for such a small cause? you will be too stupid to do that.
Samprit notices a sense of redemption in Soumik's face. He smirks. "Call her. Call her now and tell her that you are sorry. Tell her that you will always be with her." - blurts Samprit.
"I guess my work is over now. I should go. All the best. And never ever repeat this mistake. Else I will find you and I will kill you." - Samprit laughingly says and gets up.
Soumik rises up from his seat and hugs him.
Soumik excitedly calls Prithika and starts weeping. Samprit leaves the cafe premise, and takes out a small note from his pocket. On it is written - "I will always be with you... Regards, Prithika"
He laughs. Few tears roll down his eyes. "I guess this is what it was destined to be. For now, my job is done. " He silently mutters and wipes his tears. He then throws away the note in a nearby dustbin, puts on his sunglasses and moves towards his car.
A flashback of Prithika saying him that she will surely give them being together a thought pops in before his eyes. He smiles and says to himself, "She is happy. That's all that matters, even if she isn't with me." He then starts his car and drives away.
The city of joy witnesses another tragic ending but beginning of a new love story.............
