Ashwita came back to her home close to 12am, took her shower and sent a quick text to her home saying she's back and about to sleep. She received a call immediately from her brother;

Meanwhile, Ashwin went back home, freshened up and attended a meeting with his client before hitting the bed. He works under a human resource department, where his work schedule follows European Time, hence the late night meeting. 

Once the meeting ended, he went to bed tiringly and slept off while thinking it's time to get a bike at least, to save the hassels using public transport. It's been about 5 months since he moved to Chennai and if there's one thing that he can't adapt yet is to using public transport, especially during night time. 

New day, same scenarios. A rush to and back work and where Ashwin and Ashwita bumped into each other, praying no trains will be delayed today. Seeing Ashwita, Ashwin smiled gently, to which she smiled back as well. 

Two introverts, that's all they do even if they've seen each in train regularly. Just a smile, and that too, after yesterday's conversation which lasted for less than a minute.
