Start from the beginning
                                    

Karan: (caught off-guard) "Huh? Ah- yes!!"

Sanjana heard Karan clearing his throat.

Karan: (hesitating)"I was asking...will you... will you go out with me tomorrow?"

Sanjana's eyes widened. Her heart started racing.

Karan: (confused, not getting an answer) "Sanjana?"

Sanjana: (excited) "Yes! Yes, I'll go out with you!"

Karan: (chuckling) "That's great! Then, tomorrow 11 AM! I'll pick you up from your house, okay?"

Sanjana: (smiling widely) "I'll be waiting!"

Karan: "Then, bye! Good night!"

Sanjana: "Good night!"

But Karan did not hang up the call. Sanjana got confused.

Sanjana: "Uhm... do you have anything else to say?"

Karan: "Hmm...I just wanted to ask you... are you okay?"

Sanjana did not expect him to ask that question. His soft and concerned voice warmed her heart, overtaking the sadness from before.

She sighed with a small smile.

Sanjana: "Yes...I'm fine now."

Karan: (happy) "Good! Take care! Bye!"

Sanjana: "You too! Bye!"

This time, Karan surely hung up the call.

Sanjana kept the phone beside her and broke down into a huge smile.

'At least there's someone out there, who cares for me. Thank you, Karan.'

Pooja: "What is she doing there?"

Then she saw Karan walking up to Sanjana and hugging her. Her blood boiled seeing them hugging and smiling together.

Karan: (checking Sanjana from head to toe) "I think I was wrong. You look great in your normal attire."

Sanjana blushed at his compliment. Karan chuckled seeing her red face.

Karan: (taking her hand) "Shall we go?"

Sanjana nodded with a smile.

Pooja's grip on the window tightened seeing them walking away, holding hands.

Pooja: (through gritted teeth) "Sanjana, you're really testing my patience."

Sanjana and Karan were walking along the streets, their fingers intertwined with each other. They were taking occasional glances at each other simultaneously.

Sanjana: (looking around, confused) "Are we going somewhere?"

Karan: (shaking his head) "No, I didn't make any plans for today. "

Sanjana looked down, hiding her red face.

Karan: "If you have someplace on your mind, you can say it."

Sanjana: "Me?"

Karan: "Do you want to do something in particular?"

Sanjana: (thinking) "Then...I..."
