As he approached, he cast a lingering gaze over me, a captivating look. Meanwhile, I found myself fawning over him, struggling to find the right words.
Rudra's intense gaze softened into a warm smile as he approached. "You look absolutely.. heart-st...

(Guys comment karo, I need motivation, I have so many more books to write, If I act this detached, I might as well end the series here with this book.)
Navigating through the array of frozen treats for pets, I was completely engrossed when suddenly, I collided with someone. My heart skipped a beat as I looked up, only to meet the gaze of none other than Mihir – my ex.
Fuck.
New plan. Ignore his existence. Pretend you don't know him. Say sorry and run for your life before you settle for awkward conversation.
Sahi plan hai, abh bhaag.
"I'm sorry," I blurted out, moving back from him, Maggi still in my arms, as I turned around, taking a step back to where Patidev was standing.
"Roohi? Is that you?" I heard him call out, making me stop, my eyes closing in frustration.
"Uh-oh, yeah," I replied, turning around and smiling awkwardly at him. Uh, what now?
"Oh god, it's been so long," he said as he walked towards me, his arms extending for a hug. I nodded with a forced smile.
But before he could hug me, Maggi lunged forward with a loud growl, scaring Mihir away as he took a step back with a nervous, scared smile.
"Uh... cute dog you have there," he spoke, and I chuckled.
"Thanks," I replied, trying to keep the conversation light. "He's a bit protective sometimes."
"Yeah, I can see that," Mihir said, still keeping his distance from Maggi. "So, how have you been?"
"Oh, you know, same old," I replied vaguely, not wanting to delve into personal details. "And you?"
"Busy with work mostly," he replied, glancing around awkwardly.
"Ah, same, well, it was great meeting you, I need to leave," I said, mustering a polite smile.
"Roohi, wait," Mihir called out just as I turned to leave. "I had a great time when we were dating. Do you want to go to dinner sometime? I just moved to Udaipur."
His words caught me off guard, and I paused for a moment, unsure how to respond. "Oh, um... I appreciate the offer, Mihir, but I'm married actually," I replied, my tone apologetic yet firm.
