Author's POV-
He waited as the phone rang. It was a video call. When she picked up, her voice was soft, the perfect balm for his rattled nerves.
"Arjun? What's up? Everything okay?"
Arjun leaned back on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. "Yeah, everything's great. I just... I needed to hear your voice."
Mira felt her cheeks warm up at the unexpected sweetness of his words. A slight blush crept onto her face, but being Mira, she quickly covered it up with a dose of savage humor. "Memes tak toh theek tha... aajkal flirting zyada nahi ho gayi?"
(It was fine till the memes... hasn't the flirting increased too much these days?)
Arjun grinned, his voice playful as ever. "Haan haan, abhi na jaao chhod kar gaana kisne gaya tha?" he clicked his tongue, teasing her further.
(Yes yes, who sang the song Abhi na jao chod kar?)
Mira rolled her eyes, but couldn't help the small smile that tugged at her lips. "Pehle tum khud apne flirting ka career sambhal lo, tab hi mujhe samajh mein aayega," she shot back, leaning into the banter.
(First you take care of your flirting career, only then will I understand.)
"Career toh hai hi," Arjun chuckled. "Nahi toh tum mere liye itna khud ko bother kyun karti?"
(There is a career, otherwise why would you sacrifice yourself so much for me?)
Mira froze for a second, a flash of something deeper running through her.
She shook it off quickly, refocusing on the conversation. "By the way, saw your match yesterday," she said, trying to keep her tone light.
"Really? And did you enjoy the show?" Arjun teased, his voice laced with playful arrogance.
She raised an eyebrow at his tone. "Haan, not bad for a guy who spends more time flexing than actually playing."
(Haan, not bad for a guy who spends more time flexing than actually playing.)
Arjun laughed loudly. "Flexing? Aur main?!"
(Flexing? And me?!)
Mira tilted her head, her voice softening just slightly. "Okk baba... leave that...I'm proud of you, you did well. And thank you tumne wo pehna."
