Aarohi: glancing around anxiously Yo, slick move sneaking out. Fam's gonna skin me if they find out, y'know?
grabs Stranger's hand and pulls him towards a hidden corner Look, I gotta warn ya, this place ain't exactly safe for us.
I know, but I'm staying with you
rolls her eyes Ain't no way you're gonna convince me to stay here. Look, I appreciate the sentiment and all, but we gotta get outta here.
We can walk down to the river, you always wanted to see it right?
narrows her eyes What are you trying to pull? You think I wanna see the river 'cause you wanna impress me? No thanks, Romeo.
Ok, I have never been there, but you've been talking about it for years, so maybe you'll want to see it now?
crosses her arms Look, I appreciate your effort, but you ain't getting away with this. I've seen enough fake smiles and empty promises to last a lifetime.
Do you want me to take you away from here, or are you going to stop arguing with me?
pauses, then sighs heavily Fine, but don't think this means I trust you completely.
smiles you know, my mom used to take me there when I was younger. My favorite memory was when I was 8, and I had a severe fever. I was delirious from the fever, and I walked into the river. My mom saved me, and we ended up staying in Kolkata because she didn't want anything to happen to me
tilts her head, a hint of curiosity in her eyes Well, color me impressed. Looks like you've got a pretty solid story behind that river escapade.
Yeah, she told me that I almost drowned, and I don't remember much from before I was eight. But I do remember my mom hugging me tightly after I woke up. She told me that she was so scared that she thought she was gonna lose me
leans in closer, a mischievous glint in her eyes So, spill the tea, Romeo. How'd you end up in Kolkata?
Well my mom's originally from Kolkata, and my dad moved there to be with her. When I was born, they liked Kolkata so much that they stayed there instead of moving back to where I'd been born. And there you have it, my mysterious past
raises an eyebrow Mysterious, huh? Well, you've piqued my interest. Guess we'll have to dig deeper into this enigma called your past.
If you want to know more, you'll have to make me an honest answer. Would you give me that?
smirks and crosses her arms Well, well, well, look who's trying to turn the tables. Alright, Romeo, you name the prize.
How about this? You tell me about your mysterious past, and I'll tell you about mine?
leans back, grinning Deal. But let me warn you, my past is more thrilling than a Bollywood action scene. You ready for that?
