Aranya waved her middle finger in his face and Dhruv left for the washroom.

‘How’s it going?’ asked Sanchit, standing in front of the urinal, acting like he
was peeing.
‘She’s not around, Sanchit! We can talk normally.’

‘Shut up and move to the next urinal, Dhruv. And don’t look at me while
you’re talking. If I have to play the double agent, I will do it well.’
Dhruv rolled his eyes and stood in the urinal next to Sanchit’s.

‘You better charm her today, Dhruv. Do whatever it takes. Seduce,
emotionally manipulate, threaten, love, whatever!’ said Sanchit.
‘I’m doing my fucking best.’

‘Keep that tone in control!’
‘CONTROL?’ thundered Dhruv. ‘You asshole! You fucked me over, dude!
You went on to her side and asked her to have sex with Raghuvir and make me

hear all of it? And you have the balls to ask me to keep that tone in control?’
‘Wait. Let’s get the facts correct. She had already had sex with Raghuvir
before. I just asked her to make you listen to her enjoy it, use it to rile you up so

that you ball up and take what’s yours!’
‘Couldn’t you just have fucking told me that and I would have done it?’
Sanchit winked. ‘Where’s the fun in that? And she wanted to see you fight!

You needed to give her that. And moreover, I believe in true love and not
deception. Had I told you, it would have been deception and no love story should

start with that.’
‘And what are you doing now, Sanchit? Changing sides and scheming with
me to get her?’ asked Dhruv.
‘I realize that both of you are psychotic and I’m the only voice of reason. If it

were up to both of you, this story would never end! But more than that tonight
and the next two days are yours, Dhruv. Make her fall in love with you and fall

in love with her and make sure you guys are forever . . .’
Dhruv rolled his eyes.
‘Is that what I get for a good speech?’
‘Fuck off.’

‘Now go out. No one likes a boy who pees for so long,’ said Sanchit. ‘And
remember: DON’T. LET. HER. GO.’
