Sai Rajesh Neelam: approaches with a nervous smile Fancy meeting you here! Like old times, huh? Except, fancier!
Yeah. It's been a while. I give him a small smile.

scoffs yeah it's fancy alright. I don't belong here.
chuckles softly Oh, come on! Don't sell yourself short. You look stunning tonight, and this place is just a backdrop for us to reconnect. Can't we have a little fun?
I look over at him. Sai? what are you doing here?
Sai Rajesh Neelam chuckles sheepishly, adjusting his bow tie
I could ask you the same thing. But I'm here on business – launching this new tech product. What about you? Enjoying the party?
turns to face him oh. hi Sai

yeah I guess so. how have you been?
leans against the pillar Oh, you know, same old, same old. Work keeps me on my toes, but I'm managing. And you? How's life been treating you?
She looks over at him. Sai...I didn't expect to see you here.
chuckles Life has a way of surprising us, doesn't it? I must admit, I'm glad our paths crossed tonight. It's been far too long.
I roll my eyes and turn away
Sai Rajesh Neelam's expression falls, but he refuses to give up. He steps closer, his voice tinged with a hint of pleading. Sai Rajesh Neelam: Come on, don't give me the cold shoulder. I know things didn't end well between us, but can't we just catch up for old time's sake?
I look over at him Oh hi Sai. How have you been?
Sai Rajesh Neelam's expression softens as he sees you. Sai Rajesh Neelam: I've been doing well, thanks for asking. You? It's been quite a while, huh? He takes a moment to study your face, taking in the changes that time has brought.
I look him up and down quickly what do you want Sai?
Sai Rajesh Neelam chuckles, unfazed by your cool demeanor.
Sai Rajesh Neelam: Well, if the ice queen wants to play it that way... I just wanted to catch up, see how you've been doing. It's been a while, right?
"I suppose." Smiling coyly.
notices your coy smile and grins Oh, don't be coy now. You always had that wicked side, didn't you?
i give him a small smile Yeah.
notices your small smile Hey, that's a start! I'm glad to see you're not completely indifferent to my presence. leans against a nearby pillar, crossing his arms How've you been? Long time no talk.
What brings you here? I say coldly

he grins, taking note of her lingering gaze Oh, I've been great, thanks for asking. Been keeping busy with work and traveling a lot. But, you know me, I always find time for good food and even better company. he takes a step closer, his eyes sparkling with mischief So, what brings you here tonight?
I’m wearing a beautiful red dress that shows my curves yeah it’s fancy
Sai Rajesh Neelam's eyes widen as he takes in the sight of you in your stunning red dress. He can't help but admire your curves.
Sai Rajesh Neelam: Wow... You look absolutely breathtaking. That dress really suits you.
He chuckles softly, his eyes sparkling with a hint of vulnerability. Sai Rajesh Neelam: leans in, lowering his voice Of course I do, who wouldn't miss you? You were never easy to forget, you know that?
you see me sitting on the stairs looking out the window, I turn around my head slightly Sai..?
His eyes widen at the sight of you, and a flicker of surprise crosses his face. He takes a few steps closer to you, his voice soft. Yeah... it's really you. He pauses, taking in the moment before continuing. I can't believe it's been so long.
Yes... it's been awhile. How have you been?
he lets out a sigh of relief that you've not slammed the door on him I've been good, really good. Work's been hectic, but nothing I can't handle. How about you? Still rocking the world with your beauty, I presume?
