Steve was unable to sleep , so was Yukti . He was developing some feeling for her slowly. Both were lying on their beds , thinking of each other.....both chuckled and blushed as hell.

At the morning,
Yukti gets ready and walks downstairs, Steve was sitting on the sofa reading newspaper. But Yukti's appearance snatched his attention from the newspaper. He just couldn't take his eyes off her , though she was wearing ordinary detective like outfit but he was stunned.

Yukti: Umm...yo..your cheeks are getting red.
Steve : ( He suddenly woke up to reality)Huh...well... let's have a breakfast.
Yukti: You cooked it?
Steve: Yeah! why?
Yukti: Aaa...nothing, let's have it.

After breakfast,

Yukti: Umm..Steve ! sorry..sorry, I mean can call you by your name?
Steve: [(in mind) You can call me whatever you want to call, you have already stolen my heart]
Sure..sure it's OK!

Yukti : Actually...I wanted to investigate that bungalow and Ranjiv is not picking up my call,he just vanished without even informing or taking my permission, how can he!? ( Steve was feeling a bit jealous) Well..I want your help, I want you to drive me there.

Steve: Sure, I will. Can I call you by your name?(she said yes)
He grabbed her hand and pulled towards himself, she was feeling shy her heart was beating fast. They were too close.
Steve: I can do anything for you...just tell me.
Yukti: Are you flirting?😳
Steve: Think whatever you want to think. 😏
You're just driving me crazy for you,Yukti! (he murmured)
Yukti: Aa...sorry ?
Steve: Nothing..let's go.( He took her grabbing his hand)
