Aarav's POV

I'm spellbound. I heard everything, each and every thing she had inside the lil heart of hers.

I should've stopped the engagement. Why am I doing this? Not speaking during important times and regretting it later.

Now that I know Kuttu too likes me, I don't care much about Aki anymore. I should've made him understand about my feelings but I didn't even try doing.

Only if I confessed my love for her back when we were in India, we would've been a happily married couple now.

It's waste of time regretting my past actions. I'm gonna ask Kuttu on a date and ask her out at the end of it.

Agalya's POV

The engagement got over and I was sitting alone in my room, staring at the ring on my finger which was selected by my fiance Rajeev. Sounds alien to me 😏

I was immersed in thoughts while my phone rang. I thought it would be Rajeev, he's the only one who would call me this late at night and shower me with words of endearment like princess, baby girl, boo boo, Kanmani etc etc.

He's trying to be loving and make up for his previous mistakes. He has apologized a million times for what he has done.

If I were some other girl I would've been flying up in the sky for the amount of love he showers but me being someone's Kuttu, I'm not able to reciprocate it.

I sighed and took the phone to see an unknown number. I usually don't pick up calls like this but something in me forced me to.

I kept the phone near my ear and said,"Hello" and heard a gasp in return.

My body stiffened and I was feeling dizzy. What if it is....

After few seconds, he said,"Kuttu". I loved the way my name rolled out smoothly from his mouth after these many months.

"Bobby" I murmured barely enough for him to hear.

"H-How're y-you?" I cursed myself for stuttering. "I'm fine Kuttu. H-How bout you?" He said but not in his usual cheerful tone.

"I'm good I guess, it's been so long right" I said mentally kicked myself for adding I guess. I shouldn't let him know about my state.

"Yeah, *pause* actually Kuttu I wanted to ask...." He dragged and I sucked in a sharp breathe. The possibilities were endless.

"Continue Bobby" I kinda forced him. I really wanted to know what he's upto.

"Umm... Ok I'll tell. Shall we go out anywhere tomorrow? I'm not forcing you or anything, you're getting married in few days and you won't be able to enjoy as Agalya Arunachalam then. So just enjoy your life for a day. Being the cheerful and fun loving Kuttu I've seen" he said so fast that it took moments for me to process it.

My brain wanted to deny it but a part of me i.e my poor heart desperately wanted to accept it. Maybe he's right and so I said,"Yes!"

Timeskip : Next day morning 7 AM

I was standing infront of the mirror looking for the old Agalya, the carefree Agalya who was full of life. I guess I need to find her out today. I chuckled at myself.

I slid myself down into a pink kurti cause the old Agalya was always girly.

Paired it up with cute jewelry which looked good on me. It's been so long since I dressed like this that it feels odd to look at me like this.

I took a deep breathe and chanted one mantra 'One day Agalya, this one day, you'll forget about all the things happening in your life and live the life you always wanted'

I took my phone and walked downstairs. My mom was busy making breakfast. I hugged her from back side and said," Amma I'm going to my colleague Priya's house, she wants to spend time with me before wedding it seems".

"Ok Kanna, come home soon. We need to go for shopping tomorrow" she said and continued her work. I hmm-ed and came out of my house.

He was already waiting at the corner of the street, seeing him after such a long time.

I really didn't have words to describe how handsome he was. The feelings he give me are ecstatic.

He saw me and got down the car removing his coolers. My heartbeat raised seeing his smile.

I promised myself that I won't stutter. I said," Hey Bobby!" And he replied," Hey Kuttu! Get in". He opened the door like a gentleman.

I made myself comfortable and looked at him. He asked," shall we go?" And I nodded looking outside through the window. The surrounding was so tensed.

Suddenly, he came near me. My breathe hitched at the moment. Seeing my expression, he pointed the seatbelt and pulled it. My eyes never left his and so did his.

He adjusted the temperature as I hate being sweaty, he knew even small things about me.

After reaching the express highway, he called me,"Kuttu" and I jerked looking towards him.

"I wanted to tell you that, there will be no restrictions for you today. Enjoy as much as you can. I'm taking to your favourite places and please please be the talkative Kuttu I saw during Aki's wedding. I don't like this Kuttu" he continued.

I took a deep breathe and grinned at him. "So where're we heading to?" I asked maintaining the grin on my face.

"That's my Kuttu. And don't ask me where I'm taking you cause I've many places which will make you happy. If I tell now, you won't be surprised. First, I'm taking you somewhere for breakfast" he said and I nodded like a obedient child.

"How's your job?" He asked. "Yeah, it's great. I'm a senior software developer at my company" I replied and he murmured," good".

"And we're at our first stop" he said and I became excited.
