Stranger : Ep-1 An Unwanted Guest
The cafe had 8 tables, mostly filled with college students and there was no lack of chaos amongst them. Amidst the chaos, at a corner sat ruhani, I must say, it wasn't the best of her days. There were three empty chairs, and she while crying wouldn't notice a figure quitely taking one of the seat, an unwelcomed guest.."

Just in case you want to talk I am right here. Said the man. Ruhani, a bit surprised managed to look at the man, and was more puzzled. She had no clue who he was or what he wanted.

I am sorry, I guess you mistook me for someone else. Said Ruhani trying to control her tears.

You definitely don't know me, neither do I. Would you take a coffee? Said the man.

Why? Why do you think I will talk to a stranger and drink coffee with him? Said Ruhani, now starting to get a bit anxious.

Well, I don't suppose you would! I am even surprised you haven't yelled at me and asked me to leave. Look you can be yourself pretending I don't even exist over here.

What's your business? There are many tables around here and I am sure you will find someone to go out with and drink coffee. Just leave me alone. Ruhani was not going to buy into this man's words.

Well yes, that's no big deal. It's just no one else is crying over a break up. See if you want someone to talk about it, then sure I have a lot of business out here. If you want me go away then just say it. I'll not bother you anymore. Said the man finally clearing some air.

Wait, how the hell do you know I am going through a break up and in any case why do you even care? Said Ruhani, sounding more curious now.

I see that cute little gift you brought for Aman, assuming that was the one who you were waiting for. You slammed your phone in pieces not wanting to hear from him again. It was more of a guess but it's all confirmed now, and for why do I care? Is because my i have a problem. I feel unwell when I see someone crying and I can't help but have to try and help that person to avoid future sleepless nights thinking in how many ways i could have helped you. Said the man inin a brisk of a moment, and looked more anxious now then Ruhani.

I am sure I heard most of what you said, however I just failed to catch your name? Said Ruhani this time a slight smile as she was both puzzled yet fascinated with this man who just showed up.

Ohh I actually never mentioned it, sorry!! My name is Rahul, Rahul saarang. Answered Rahul.

I am Ruhani, Ruhani Sayeed. Said Ruhani feeling more comfortable.
