Indhra looks up and finds a guy standing next to her with a tray in his hand. She quickly nodded no, indicating that the other seat was free.

"If you don't mind, can I sit here?" He asks her and she nodded her head positively.

"Thank you." He replies with a smile as she sat there. He starts to eat the cake that he had bought, while Indhra was looking at her mobile not knowing what to do next.

She was sitting there for good forty five minutes and now if she leaves the place without eating anything, it would be embarrassing. She tries to call the waitress for a menu card, but she was busy with other customers.

"Does that taste good?" Indhra finally asks the guy who was sitting opposite to her.

"Erm what?" He asks her back confused.

"Does that cake taste good? I want to order that ..." She explains him slowly.

"This is so yummy! I came here just to eat this cake and cappuccino." He says and she sighed immediately.

"What cake is this?" She asks him as she could ask for it at the counter.

"This is a combo. It's called  the love duo" he replies and Indhra walks to the counter to get the same for her too.

She reaches the table and started tasting the cake.

"You're right! This is too good." She smiles at him as she was really loving the cake.

"Yess." He smiles back at her.

"You came here alone?" He asks her after he finished his cake and started sipping his cappuccino.

"I was here to meet someone, but ended up being alone here. What about you?" She replied casually.

"Last time I came here with my friends and tasted this combo. Today I was going by this way and spotted this cafe. Without any second thought I entered inside."

"I don't think I would miss having this combo again. Thanks for suggesting me." Indhra smiles at him.

Indhra recieved a call from her dad and she attended it.

"Hello dad!"

"How is everything going Indhra? Did you meet him?" He asks her curiously.

"He didn't come here. He said he would meet me some other day. I'm going to kill you both when I come home." She gritted her teeth and informs her dad.

"What happened?"

"I'll tell you everything when I come home, bye." She ends the call and looked at the guy whose eyes where fixed on her.

"Sorry... I overreacted.." she quickly composed herself as she had shouted at her dad at a public place where someone was sitting right accross her.

"It's okay. It happens for me too!" He chuclkes softly.

"Sir, your bill." The waitress came there with the bill and he gave her his card.

When she came back with the card, he noticed that he was billed for two love duo's instead of one.

"I had ordered only one combo.  But you've billed for two?" He questioned the waitress.

"I have added Mam's bill in yours, sir." She says as she pointed at Indhra.

Their eyes widened on hearing it.

"What?" Indhra asks her in shock.

"I... I thought you both were a couple. When I came here to take your order, you said you were waiting for someone ma'am. Afterwards you and sir had ordered the same combo and were having it together." The waitress explains them in fear.

"We are not a couple. We don't know eachother..." He told her sternly.

"I'm extremely sorry sir. I should not have assumed it. Rather I should have asked you both.." she apologized.

"It's okay. Just give me a new bill and cancel the old one." He said calmly and the waitress panicked.

"Sir... This is my first day here. If I go and say that I have made a mistake, they'll definitely throw me out from here." She said with teary eyes.

"Hey, don't cry. We'll sort it out. You carry on your work." Indhra consoled her.

"I'm extremely sorry. I won't repeat this kind of mistake ever again..." The waitress apologies and left from their table.

"Why did you do that?" He asked her once the waitress was out of their sight.

"She is a new joine. And the whole place is occupied with couples and that's why she has assumed us as one. "

"But she could have explained this to her employer and just changed the bill right?"

"That would had brought her new consequences as she said." Indhra replied and took out her purse.

"I don't have enough cash. Do you use Gpay or any other payment apps" she asked him.

He forwarded his mobile so that she could scan the QR code. After the payment was done, he checked her name in his mobile.

"We have been talking for so long but never asked each other's name." He chuckled and she also laughed on hearing it.

"I'm Indhra." She said and forwarded her right hand.

"I'm Tamizh." He smiled and shook hands with her.

They both had finished their cappuccino and cakes and decided to leave from the shop.

The waitress smiled at them before they left from there.

"Heading to home?" Tamizh asks her as they reached the parking area.

"Not yet decided." Indhra replies sadly as she kept her bag inside and sat on the bike.

"Why so?"

"I want clear my mind before going home. It is filled with too many puzzles and questions right now." She shrugged helplessly.

"Awww! Even I was confused before coming here. Now my mind is free." He grinned widely.

"Are you teasing me or what?" She asks him with a frown.

"I'm telling you honestly, Indhra. I found a solution for my problem."

"Ohh... I hope I would also find a solution for my problem too." Indhra replies sadly.

"I may not be able to give you a solution, but I have a suggestion for you." Tamizh tells her and she raised her eyebrows asking what.

"There is a beach near by. Go and sit there for a while silently. You might get your head cleared."

Indhra smiles warmly on hearing him.

"That's a great idea. Are you also coming there?"

"I'm not confused now, but if you insist, I'll also join you."

"I wouldn't mind if you join." Indhra smiles at him.

They both walked towards the beach.
