It had been two hours since she left. I still felt jiffy and ureal. Dhanvi looked at me as if it was weird to see me so happy. 

'What?' She questioned with a small smile stuck on her lips but of course she already knew.

'Nothing' I said to her trying to maintain a straight face while inside me heart went something like.

'You, can tell her, she'll help you to impress her' 

'No, need' Put forward brain 'She already knows'

I chuckled on that, Dhanvi reads me too easily. She knows too much about me. 

'You know, Trisha is out of your league right' She said proving brain's point

'uhm..yeah I know' I said 'all we can do is hope for a happy ending'

She smiled warmly but immediately got replaced by a more stern expression as if a more sadder memory hit her.

'Uhm.. I need to ask you for a favor' She said suddenly while biting her nails as if uncertain.

She wasn't the usual one to ask for help so, I decided to say 'yes' no matter what.

'That's wise' expressed heart 'She helped you get through a lot of things'

I nodded, Heart was acting too mature...weird.

'What is it?' I asked her casually while stressing internally because she didn't ask  for help unless it was very serious.

She hesitated as if not sure to ask, while I randomly stared at the marble flooring hoping for a reply to come soon. This was getting awkward .

'Can you-'

Some weird chubby guy came to the counter and interrupted her

'One large cappuccino' 

'Oh, come on the timing' muttered heart before I had even had time to think anything

I gritted my teeth, You can always count on clients to disturb you.

Dhanvi looked at me as if uncertain of what to do.

I exhaled and decided to postpone this discussion (And yes there will be a conversation, She seems stressed)

'Its probably nothing' Said heart 'she's just asking for a small favor.' Though I knew deep down that  wasn't the case.

I turned to the irritating chubby guy, Who gave me a smile that I would have been better off  without.

'My god, someone stuff this guy in a washing machine'   muttered brain

I noticed something different. This wasn't the usual brain he just never says stuff like lets-stuff-him-in-a-washing-machine. He was logic and logic was changing. Maybe, just maybe heart and brain could just synchronize.

'That'll be good' I thought 

...A little too good maybe, A bit like the calm before a storm.
