Umm… Hello? Who's connected to “SharmaWiFi5G”? It’s suddenly super slow.
[Unknown Number – 10:05 AM]
Is this Mira from flat 203?
Asking for a friend.
Mira
[Mira – 10:06 AM]
Who’s this? How do you know my name?
Are you the Wi-Fi thief?
[Unknown Number – 10:06 AM]
Technically, your Wi-Fi was open.
So… thief? No. Opportunist? Maybe.
Hi, I’m Aarav. Just moved into 204.
Mira
10:07 AM]
OH. The mysterious new neighbor.
Welcome. Now get OFF my internet.
Arav
10:08 AM
Wow. Such warmth. So welcoming.
Don’t worry, I’m just stealing bandwidth, not furniture.
Mira
You’re hilarious.
Change your own Wi-Fi name to “Freeloader204”.
Arav
Done. But only if you change yours to “DramaQueen203”.
Mira
Blocked.
(But also slightly impressed.)
Arav
Unblock me. Or I’ll come knock on your door… with a router and a peace offering.
Mira
Make it chai, and we’ll talk.
The chai Drama
Arav
Hey Miss DramaQueen203, you home?
Mira
I was. Until you called me that again.
Now I’m considering moving out.
Arav
Too late. I’m standing outside with peace chai.
Open the door before I drink it myself.
Mira
Wait, seriously?
One sec!
Mira
Okay… you make decent chai. I’m not mad.
Arav
Wow. That was the nicest insult I’ve received all day.
Mira
You’re welcome. Also, did you really bring chai just to make peace?
Arav
Partially.
Also because your Wi-Fi blocked me and I had 2 deadlines.
Mira
Aha! So the truth comes out!
You did come crawling back.
Arav
Technically, I came walking with chai.
Crawling happens
Mira
You plan out your drama arcs?
That’s... oddly adorable.
Arav
And you’re oddly tolerable when you’re sipping chai.
Mira
Careful. One more compliment and I might actually unblock you.
Arav
Tempting. But let’s save that for tomorrow.
Same time, same door?
Mira
Only if you bring cookies.
Arav
Noted: cookies = access granted.
cookies,crushes and creepy Aunty
Mira
So... are you bringing those cookies or is this peace treaty falling apart?
Arav
Already in the oven, Chef Aarav reporting.
Also Googled: “How to impress nosy neighbor with sugar.”
Mira
Nosy??
Excuse me, observant is the word.
Also, I saw you trying to sneak past Mrs. D’Souza this morning.
Arav
AH. That lady’s got CIA-level spying skills.
She asked me if I was your boyfriend.
Mira
Oh no. This is how rumors start.
Tomorrow she’ll tell my mom I’m married to you and pregnant with twins.
Arav
Too late. I told her we were expecting a kitten.
We’re naming it Cookie.
Mira
I swear—
You are the worst.
Arav
And yet… you’re still texting me.
Why is that, Mira?
Mira
Because I feel bad for your future girlfriend.
She’ll have to put up with ALL this sarcasm.
Arav
Ouch.
Also, future girlfriend? Got anyone in mind?
Mira
Maybe.
But I heard she’s got high standards. Like… she only falls for guys who make good chai AND cookies.
Arav
Challenge accepted.
Knock-knock at 5. Don’t wear your judgmental glasses.
