Virat (text) : Maine zindagi mein aaj tak itna nahi khaya. Yaar. I ate tons of fries.
Sai(text): Bohot hi badiya!
Virat(text) : Badiya tha, par ye koi mere belt ki buckle ko samjhao.
There's an opening to flirt a little...
Sai(text) : Toh, agar mein apke belt buckle ke pass aau, toh aap sirf yahi chahenge ki mein usse baate hi karu ?
Virat(text) : ... Tum mujhe tadpaogi.
Sai(text) : Bas keh rahi hu-
Virat(text) : Tumhe pata hai mein tumse kya kya karwaunga agar tum mere belt buckle ke pass aayi toh...
Sai(text) : Bataiye.
Virat(text) : Mein tumhe usse kholne deta, aur phir tum janti ho...
Sai(text) : Thik se bataiye.
Virat(text) : Kyu na mein tumhe humare date ke din demo du?
Her heart flutters as she types back the response.
Sai (text) : Badiya plan hai, Virat.
Virat (text) : Mujhe tumhara address bhejo. I want to pick you up tomorrow.
She sends it over to him, delighted to have Malini's nice place to send him to.
Virat (text) : Wah. Nice zip code.
Mein tumse milne ke liye utabla ho raha hu.
Sai (text) : Mein bhi.
Virat (text) : Kal milte hai.
She drops her phone face down on the bed and deep breathes. She's got an audition first thing, then a long afternoon of waiting, and then... The big date.
...
Sai gets home from her audition just before 11. Shagun is in the kitchen, and delicious smells are wafting in the apartment.
Shagun: Arre Sai! How'd the audition go?
Sai: Woh, dekho. I'm gonna go take a shower.
Shagun: Sai...
Sai pauses on her way to the bedroom, and inhales the delicious smell coming from the oven.
Shagun: Shayad tumhe roommates ke sath baat karne ki aadat nahi hai. Par hum bure nahi hai, agar tumne thik se dekha hai. I personally , do not bite . Aao kuch khalo.
Sai: Tum kya bana rahi ho?
Shagun: Paneer tikka! Have a seat!
It's kind of hard to argue with Shagun's kindness. Or her cooking.
Sai(gratefully) : Shukriya.
Sai slides onto a kitchen stool while shagun grabs a clean plate. She picks a still steaming paneer tikka and takes a buttery bite.
Shagun: Yumm... Aaj tak ka mera sabse best recipe. This must be served in a 5 star restaurant.
She serves Sai one and she takes it. As soon as she does , Shagun raises an eyebrow.
Sai: Kya?
Shagun: Aage bado. Take a bite- I can gauge my success by your expression.
Sai grins and follows order, taking a huge bite.
Shagun: Toh? What do you think?
Sai: Ye... Aaj tak ka best paneer tikka hai jo maine khaya hai.
