Shreyas' POV
" Devu? It's been 15 mins " I shouted over the phone
" I'm descending the stairs, be there in 5 " she replied and the line clicked
I leaned against my car and groaned.
" I'm sorry Shrey" Devika stood in front of me with her hands holding her ears
" Get in the car" I muttered turning my head
" Shrey , atleast look at me! " She insisted
I sat in the car and tapped my fingers in the wheel waiting for her to get in.
" Slient treatment?" She asked
I glared at her and slowly nodded
" Okay, I know I've been planning th-" I cut her off by smashing my hands on the wheel
" 3 fucking days. You have been cancelling our plans. Today you said yes and then made me wait !" I shouted
" Shrey, lo-" I cut her off again
" We are not going anywhere. I drop you home " I started the car and drove it
" I'm sorry" Devika cried
I decided to keep my eyes on the road. To ignore her.
" Look, I'm sorry for everything. Im like the head of the project ISRO handed me. I can't back out, I tried too but I couldn't. I'm sorry, I couldn't give you time but I didn't mean it " she cried trying to explain me
" You can't back out?!" I asked exaggerating
" Mr. Mehta said no, he said I'm one of the intelligent and responsible employee. But I can't turn this down. If I can't give you time, I have to turn this down " she sobbed
" I didnt me-" this time she cut me off
" No, not a word. Stop the car!" She shouted
At her one word, I stopped the car at the side.
She got down and started walking back to her office.
" Devika!" I called out but she kept on walking
" Devu!" I held her wrist
" No, I have to turn this down" she cried
" Hey hey, I didnt mean this !" I spoke softly
" Something is wrong Shrey. I'm sorry, I can't focus on anything" she hugged me sobbing in my arms
" Shhhh, it's okay. I know how much you have been working. All I am asking is take a break? For a day or so ?" I asked caressing her hair
She slowly nodded wiping her tears
" So are we going somewhere?" She cracked a smile
" Ofcourse. To our Favourite. Doppio !" I replied with an exciting smile

Devika's POV
I entered the cafe to smell the perfect blended smell of coffee. I sat on our old regular table. Shrey smiled at me walking to the counter placing our usual order.
I decided to drop a text to Mom that Shrey will be dropping me home.
" Devika?" I heard a voice
I turned around to see Shruti standing there plastered with a smile.
" Hey! How are you?? " I greeted
" Fine, what about you? " She asked
" All good. It's been a long time!'' I exclaimed
