❝ Happy birthday, Maya ❞

❝ Why do you not call me Prachi? ❞

❝ Your parents lovingly gave you the name Maya. I'm friends with Maya now anyway. The Prachi I knew was very different ❞

Maya just nodded.

❝ Anyway, you're thirty now. How's that feel like?❞

Maya laughed.

❝ I'm thirty. I have no family. No friends, except you now. And I freelance. Feels like a perfect adulting situation! ❞

Maya chuckled and Prem shrugged.

❝ All I heard is that you have me in your life and hence it is perfect! ❞

He grinned and Maya nodded, raising the guava mojito.

❝ Cheers to that! ❞

🥀

Prem and Maya stopped walking as Maya reached her apartment. It was raining, and the two stood under umbrellas.

❝ Well goodnight, Maya. Happy birthday once again ❞

Prem said as he quickly hugged her, their umbrellas clashing because of the hug. Maya smiled softly, the proximity making her heart flutter.

❝ Prem- I wanted to say something ❞

❝ Hm? ❞

❝ I think I'm falling for you ❞
