"Priyankha?" I called.

"I don't think I wanna talk about it......not now" She said.

"Okay Rohan what happened next"

"Okay so after a horrible train ride we finally reached Mumbai and it was time for me to say goodbye to Lali"

Rohan's POV

"So I guess this is it" I said.

"Ya"

"So what are gonna do now? Where are you gonna go"

"Don't know, I will just figure something out"

"Okay then, keep in touch"

"Okay"

She said as she hugged me and started walking away but something in me said that I shouldn't leave her alone.

"Hey........"

I called she stopped and looked back at me.
"What?" She asked.

"It may sound really weird but I have an awfully large apartment and you really need a place to stay so.......if it doesn't feel too weird you can stay with me"

She came and stood in front of me.

"I left the city I grew up in, my whole family, the only friends I had and came to this unknown city without any plan whatsoever to fulfil an impossible dream and to get away from the I love do you think I care if the only possible way of staying alive is weird?"

She asked with a smile. I smiled back.

***

"Wow" She said looking around.

"Well it cost me a lifetime of loan payment" I joked.

"I will pay you rent though.......I will try and get a job soon" Lali said.

"I would have said no and tried to be nice but I am technically broke so why not"

Lali smiled.

"You can take that room" I said pointing at a room which was supposed to be a guest room, I handed her over a spare key.

"Okay cool" She said going inside.

***

The next morning when I woke up she was still sleeping so I made some breakfast left some money on the counter for her with a note and left for my auditions. But when I came back the money was still there and she was not home so I decided to go to the café downstairs and get a cold coffee.

"Excuse me" I said to a waitress, but I was shocked to see it was Lali.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Guess what they let me be a waitress here, so I am paying rent after all"

"Good for you"

"Okay what you want"

"A special cold coffee"

"Coming right up" She said and have the order.

"Oh one of your friends came to return your bike today" She said handing me the keys.

"Great, I missed my bike"

"You never told me you had a bullet you should let me drive sometimes"

"You know how to ride a bike?"

"I had a bullet back home but I had to sell it to come here"

"Okay then I will let you ride it sometimes"

"Lali" A guy called placing my cold coffee on the counter Lali passed it to me.

"You know this guy is hitting on the other waitress"

"Oh I have been seeing this since day one he comes up with the worst pickup lines in the world"

We laughed.

***

"I mean seriously there is a difference between professional dancing and 2 days of training I am telling you all this is the result of bloody nepotism" I said.

"Ok all I asked was 'how was your audition?'" Lali said confused.

"Sorry"

"Although, this constant hate around nepotism has badly effected starts who actually worked hard and had no intention in becoming a part of nepotism in the first place like Varun Dhawan started off as an assistant director, Alia Bhatt used to give auditions like any other average actors do you think she would have lost her part in wake up Sid if she used her family name, even Varun has been rejected a fair number of times even for low budget movies yes they were launched by Karan Johar but so was Sidhart malhothra and he didn't have any film bag round and both of them work really hard also"

"You are right yar, they do work really hard"

"Okay listen up you, you are not going to get me using this cheesy pickup lines so why don't you stop wasting your time and fuck off" I heard the other waitress girl say. The guy looked really upset and went inside the kitchen.

"He looks upset"

Lali went inside the kitchen I stood neat the door and peeped inside. The guy was sitting on the floor and crying like a baby.

"Are you kidding me?" Lali asked.

"I love her for the past 3 years and she just said she will never date me, what else should I be doing?"
"Oh idiot, she didn't say that she won't date you she said that you would never get her with these cheesy pickup lines"

"What's the difference?"

"The difference is that she didn't tell you that you don't have a chance, she just said that this is not the way you should approach her, if you love her so damn much then stop being a creep and share your honest feelings"

"She won't date a guy who is so emotional and cries for her"

"Don't you guys know anything about women?"

"Ya that's why most of us are single" I said.

"Oh my god a good portion of girls find guys who could cry super-hot and sexy"

"Really" Both me and the guy asked.

"Duh ever wondered why Varun Dhawan has so many female fans when that guy cried during HSKD I got Goosebumps all over and I have been his fan ever since, so man up and go share your feelings idiot"

The guy just stood up and walked outside. Lali looked at me and smiled.

***

It was late at night Lali was sitting on the couch and was typing something on her laptop, I just went to the balcony to drink my coffee but what I saw shocked me.

"Lali.....Lali come here yaar"

I called she came quickly towards me.

"What happened?" She asked.

"Look....that guy from the café"

He was with that girl it looked like he just dropped her home, she got of the bike and both of them started kissing.

"Dude you are awesome yaar" I said.

"Oh my god, I helped two people find love"

"Yes" I said and looked at her excited, she looked equally shocked and happy she hugged me tight.

***

From that day on everyone started asking Lali for love advice, and 90% of the time she ended up fixing someone's love story. Soon even strangers came to her asking for advice. I teamed up with her and started helping her with the love hero game as well. It was one such day we were watching a guy Lali advised from a distance no matter what he did the girl just didn't agree that she had feelings for him.

"Ok I am going in" Lali said.

"What?"

She untied her hair and walked towards them and started flirting with the guy within seconds the girl started shouting at him and Lali came back.

"What did you do they are fighting now"

"Wait for it" Lali said.

After a few minutes the girl started crying and the guy hugged her and she hugged him back.

"How the hell do you do this?"

"I don't know it just happens"

"You should stop dreaming about directing and do this for a living" I joked.

***

But I didn't know that one joke was going to change our lives forever one day Lali came to me with a stupid idea.

"Hey, I kind of have a stupid idea" She said.

"I am listening"

"Remember you said I should do this love hero thing for a living"

"I joked"

"I know but I have an idea, what if we shoot this"

"What?"

"Think about it yaar, won't people be interested in watching someone solving relationship crisis on YouTube, I mean half the world is suffering from it"

"The idea is good, it takes investment, cameras microphones ect"

"We can rent some for starters, I can work extra shifts at the café but we still need more money"

"Wait let me call Aditi maybe she can help us get cheap equipment's and stuff"

And like that with a little help from Aditi moving money here and there and a lot of hard work our first video was born we named our channel Love heroin our video went viral almost instantly. Then we did another and another and soon came our first payment, we were thrilled and went out to celebrate.

"Before I tell you the rest of the story I think we need to meet someone" Rohan said.
